PM: The Factors

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

PM stands for Postulate Mechanics. It was referred to earlier as KHTK {Knowing How To Know). One arrives at these PM Factors after aligning Hubbard’s insights contained in Scientology Factors with the Principle of Oneness embodied in the goal of Nirvana of Buddha.

(1) These first five factors outline the beginning with the creation of postulates and beingness.

  1. PM Factor # 1: Before the beginning was the Unknowable and the entire purpose of the Unknowable was to know itself.
  2. PM Factor # 1-1: In the beginning and forever is the ability to postulate and become aware.
  3. PM Factor # 1-2: The postulates attempt to convert the Unknowable into Knowable.
  4. PM Factor #  1-3: And thus there is substance.
  5. PM Factor # 1-4: And thus there is oneness.
  6. PM Factor # 2: The beingness is One.
  7. PM Factor # 3: The being is the viewpoint.
  8. PM Factor # 4: The being is also a dimension point.
  9. PM Factor # 5: The beingness manifests as space.

(2) The next five factors outline the expansion of the being as mind.

  1. PM Factor # 6: The beingness has attention that can roam around, broadened, or focused narrowly.
  2. PM Factor # 7: When gaps are viewed among dimension points, new dimensions are postulated to fill them. Thus there is reasoning.
  3. PM Factor # 8: And thus there is cognition.
  4. PM Factor # 9: And thus there is computation.
  5. PM Factor # 10: And thus there is mind.

(3) The next five factors outline the criterion of ONENESS that guides the growth of beingness.

  1. PM Factor # 11: There are interchanges among viewpoints; and this gives rise to new directions in which to look.
  2. KHTK Factor # 12All interchanges among viewpoints and dimension points are governed by the criterion of oneness.
  3. PM Factor # 12-1: Any discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony among viewpoints and dimension points is an anomaly to be resolved.
  4. PM Factor # 13All viewpoints and dimension points are substantial and they form our reality.  
  5. PM Factor # 14The viewpoints and dimension points grow in complexity; it takes admiration to consolidate them into simplicity of oneness.
  6. PM Factor # 15: As reality is simplified according to principles, it is reduced to classification based on scales.

(4) The next five factors outline the beingness expressing its free will within the constraint of Oneness.

  1. PM Factor # 16: As forms combine and get more complex, their motion also gets increasingly complex.
  2. PM Factor # 17: The forms appear beautiful or ugly based on the consideration of the viewpoint.
  3. PM Factor # 18: The forms endure because of the fixed considerations of the viewpoint.
  4. PM Factor # 19Neither the forms nor the viewpoints are imperishable. 
  5. PM Factor # 20: All viewpoints and dimension points are dependent on each other because of the constraint of oneness.

(5) The next five factors outline the creation of the universe and the dynamic oneness of it all.

  1. PM Factor # 21: There is oneness of all postulates, beingness, viewpoints and dimension points as they change, and thus there is time.
  2. PM Factor # 22And thus there is a universe.
  3. PM Factor # 23: The actual universe is represented by the totality of postulates; and not by any single viewpoint. 
  4. PM Factor # 24: The viewpoint or beingness is not fixed in its postulates or ideas. It can change itself to fit the circumstances.
  5. PM Factor # 25: Death is a switching of physical beingness.

(6) The next five factors outline the violations of the Principle of Oneness and the resolution of resulting anomalies.

  1. PM Factor # 26: In this universe, the anomalies manifest themselves as suffering. 
  2. PM Factor # 27The cause of life’s suffering is attachment to what one postulates.
  3. PM Factor # 28: Freedom lies in the spotting of anomalies as discontinuities, inconsistencies and disharmonies.
  4. PM Factor # 29: The optimum viewpoint is to see the dynamic oneness of the universe.
  5. PM Factor # 30: The optimum action is to develop on Earth a culture that loves to resolve anomalies.

Definitions

KHTK / PM
The philosophy of “Knowing How To Know” arising from Subject Clearing. It is now called Postulate Mechanics (PM).

POSTULATE
A postulate is a self-created truth based on which further reasoning occurs.

SUBSTANCE
Substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed by our physical and mental senses.

PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS
Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that all that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious. This principle of oneness underlies the very concept of the universe. It also underlies the Scientific method. This principle gives us the ideal scene for logic, because its violation gives us anomalies. 

ANOMALY
An anomaly is any violation of the principle of oneness, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

FREE WILL
The free will is expressed through the continually changing universe with nothing ever remaining permanent except for the principle of Oneness.
