FACTOR # 6. The action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing.

The universal viewpoint sees the continuity, harmony and consistency of all dimension points. But as the viewpoint narrows, this aspect of the viewpoint suffers. Various aspects of dimension points start to drop out and holes and mystery starts to take their place.

This gives rise to confusions, doubts and perplexities that need to be resolved. Thus, come about considerations in addition to what is there, and the task of those considerations is to discover what is missing.

As the missing aspects of dimension points start to come back into view, those confusions, doubts and perplexities resolve, and the viewpoint starts to broaden back toward the universal viewpoint.

KHTK FACTOR # 6: As the viewpoint narrows, the dimension points disappear generating confusion, doubts and perplexities; but these things resolve as the viewpoint broadens.

.

The human viewpoint is narrow, but it is continually broadening itself toward the universal viewpoint by resolving confusion, doubts and perplexities that come to view.

In a broad sense, the universe is evolving by discovering itself.

FACTOR # 5. Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is: viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose of a dimension point is space and a point of view.

Space is the extent of something. Overall space is the extent of the universal matrix, or the universe. Each dimension point has a space it occupies as being large or small.

Similarly, time is the duration of something. Overall time is the duration of the universe. Each dimension point has the time it occupies as being lasting or fleeting.

The universe occupies infinite space and it is everlasting, but the individual dimension points may vary in the space they occupy and the duration they have. Space and time then combine to form all other thousands of characteristics of the dimension points.

KHTK FACTOR # 5: Space defines the varying extent of dimension points. Time defines their varying duration. Thus comes about the overview of the characteristics of dimension points as space and time.

.

Hubbard implies that space is the perspective that one takes to view what is there. In reality, both space and time provide the overview of all the characteristics of what is there.

FACTOR # 4. The second action of beingness is to extend from the viewpoint, points to view, which are dimension points.

The universal beingness has infinity of dichotomies. A dichotomy is like two opposite ends of a scale, such as, “near – far”, “now – then”, “night – day”, “good – bad”, etc., that extend into infinities in opposite directions.

In other words, the universal beingness has infinity of dimensions, where each dimension extends as a scale into infinity in either direction. Each scale thus contains infinity of points to view. These are dimension points.

Each dimension point may represent a precise characteristic that is associated with infinity of other characteristics on its own and other dimensions. This forms a matrix of infinite dimensions and many infinities of nodes (dimension points).

KHTK FACTOR # 4: The universal beingness is a matrix of infinite dimensions. Each dimension contains infinity of dimensions points to view.

.

The universal beingness in infinite. It may be viewed more closely to infinity of degrees. It may be viewed from afar to infinity of degrees. It is everywhere. It is made up of every duration possible. It has no limits.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 3 (old)

Project: A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

This paper presents Factor # 3 from the book SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008 by L. RON HUBBARD. The contents are from the original publication of this book by The Church of Scientology (1952).

FACTOR # 3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.

Viewpoint is a frame of reference. It is a natural aspect of beingness. For example, there is a universal viewpoint associated with beingness that is the universe.

The universal viewpoint may be narrowed in order to focus it on a part of the universal beingness. This narrowed viewpoint may be broadened back to view the universal beingness. There is this flexibility to the viewpoint.

When viewpoint is narrowed to focus on a part of beingness and becomes fixed at that point, then it loses its flexibility. It perceives everything from that narrow perspective. Now there is a unique perspective from which to advance opinions. This defines subjectivity.

The natural viewpoint of universal beingness sees thing as they are without the uniqueness of any perspective. This defines objectivity.

KHTK FACTOR # 3: The natural aspect of beingness is its viewpoint. The universal viewpoint sees things as they are. This is objectivity.

.

The concept that comes closest to the “universal viewpoint” is God. But God is not a human like being. God is the whole universe.

We may say that Emptiness and God are two opposite ends of the scale of viewpoint. This makes “Emptiness – God” a dichotomy.

To fully understand a point on this scale the reference point of Emptiness is required. Therefore, God may be understood fully only from the reference point of Emptiness.

FACTOR # 2. In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.

“Forever” includes neither beginning nor end. The idea of a beginning is an illusion in the context of the universe.

The universe is what it is. It may be perceived in all different ways because of preconceptions, but its fundamental beingness is what it is. That fundamental beingness may be perceived accurately only from the ultimate reference point of “emptiness” that allows no preconception.

The universe is a single phenomenon as evident from its designation. That means the universe is continuous, harmonious and consistent in all its aspects.

Factor # 2 may be expressed more accurately as follows:

KHTK FACTOR # 2: The universe is evolving but its beingness is always consistent, harmonious and continuous.

.

If there is a CAUSE or GOD, then the universe is simply a continuation of it. There is no separation between GOD and the UNIVERSE as promoted by Abrahamic religions. There is no separation between THETA and MEST either as promoted by Scientology.

“God – Universe” and “Theta – Mest” are nothing more than dichotomies with a gradient scale in between. Underlying physical substance there is spiritual substance in continuation with it.

The interface between spiritual and physical substances requires a better understanding.
