Reference: The KHTK Factors

KHTK Factor # 1: Before the beginning was the Unknowable and the entire purpose of the Unknowable was to know itself.

We do not know about the cause of the universe, nor do we know about the beginning of the universe. What keeps the universe running eternally, is also unknowable. Neither religion nor science has any clue to it.

It is, therefore, natural to start with the postulate of Unknowable. The ancients have symbolized the Unknowable as BRAHMA or SHIVA. The Unknowable has been described beautifully in The Creation Hymn of Rig Veda.

The Unknowable has also been part of the philosophy of Herbert Spencer. See HERBERT SPENCER: The Unknowable.

In Scientology, the Unknowable is described as a “knowable” STATIC, which is very confusing. See The Definition of STATIC.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 1. Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect.

Scientology defines the Unknowable as Static; but it also assigns Cause as a property to this Static. A causative Static is the postulate with which the philosophy of Scientology begins. Thus, its philosophy identifies everything with either cause or effect.

In Scientology, even the Unknowable is identified with cause making it knowable.

Logic

Eastern philosophy starts from a point of Unknowingness; whereas, the Western philosophy starts from a point of Knowingness. This is reflected in the God of Abrahamic religions, and in the Know to Mystery Scale of Scientology.

Nobody can make the claim to Total knowingness. No matter how much we know, there is always more to know. Logically, the background of knowingness is unknowingness. It is not the other way around.

Logic begins with postulates.

Wisdom begins when we know that we don’t really know.
