KHTK Factor # 3: The purity of beingness lies in seeing things as they are.
The initial postulates that appear as the universe and the beingness are the ultimate truth. They form the basis of the appearance of reasoning that follows. Their purity lies in their ONENESS, which is expressed as their harmony, consistency and continuity. This appearance is the purest form of reality.
The beingness of the universe and its parts is consistent in its purity. The various beingness exist in harmony; and, at some level, there is a continuity among them.
Impurity may enter in the existing reality, and also in the beingness, in terms of disharmony, inconsistency and discontinuity. The resulting reality and beingness become the ISNESS. The impurity entering the ISNESS may be called the ALTER-ISNESS. When this impurity is recognized for what it is, it disappears and the purity is restored. This activity is called AS-ISNESS. These three terms are borrowed from Scientology. They are very useful. They are used just as they are defined here. The fourth term used in Scientology is NOT-ISNESS, which refers to deliberately ignoring ALTER-ISNESS and letting it continue.
This purity, in terms of the ONENESS of continuity, consistency and harmony, forms the highest level of logic. Any violation of the integrity of ONENESS is called an anomaly. This anomaly becomes visible in the form of discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).
The highest activity of beingness is AS-ISNESS, which keeps the reality, and also the beingness, pure by keeping an eye out for anomalies and resolving them.

Scientology
Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.
Scientology Factor # 3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.
Of course, the viewpoint is naturally there as an aspect of beingness. It has the capability of seeing things as they are.
.
Logic
As long as the beingness can see things as they are it has no difficulty in maintaining the logic of good reasoning. The anomalies in the reality may be spotted and resolved.
Difficulty arises when the beingness itself gets corrupted with anomalies and acquires filters to look through.
