Reference: The KHTK Factors
KHTK Factor # 2: The beingness is one.
Beingness is the ability to postulate and to be aware. It is expressed through every being. This is the ’Self’ of the Vedas (written with the upper case ‘S’).
A being is a package of postulated goals and behavior characteristics. It is subject to birth and death. This is the ’self’ of the Vedas (written with the lower case ’s’).
The nature of ‘Self’ is same for everybody. But the ‘self’ is characteristically different from person to person. Yet all ‘selves’ are part of one consistent whole per the principle of oneness.
We are all connected with each other at some level. None of us is absolute and by itself.

Scientology
Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.
Scientology Factor # 2. In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.
In Scientology, the beingness is identified with Cause. The ‘Self’ is seen as theta, and the ‘self’ is seen as thetan. The thetans are considered to be individuals and independent of each other. Each thetan is also considered to be immortal, or absolute in itself.
.
Logic
Per the principle of oneness, all thetans should be part of a consistent whole, and no individual thetan can be absolute. So, this is an anomaly in Scientology.
