Processing is the application of a procedure to bring about an improvement in a person’s condition. In Subject Clearing, the processes have been obtained from the study of Vedic Hinduism, Buddhism, Psychoanalysis and Scientology.
In Subject Clearing, you can always go back to a previously applied process and run it again.
.
Process
This Subject Clearing process explores the subject of the universe.

As you look up a definition, ask yourself,
“What crosses my mind as I look up this definition?”
Notice the internal reaction. Apply The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness to that reaction. If there is a disagreement, or you sense some anomaly, then address it with Subject Clearing Viewpoint.
You may consult dictionaries, Wikipedia, Textbooks, etc., to sort out the disagreement or anomaly present. Contemplate on these words until you are fully satisfied with your understanding.

Definitions
THERAPY
Therapy is the treatment of disease or disorders, as by some remedial, rehabilitating, or curative process. We are looking primarily at therapies to do with the mind.
.
RELIGION
Religion may be regarded as the earliest form of therapy based on faith (trust in a concept). The primary concept used in religion is “God,” through which the teachings of a religion are channeled. These teachings prescribe beliefs to be adopted and behaviors to be practiced. Buddhism is the only religion that bypasses the concept of God and prescribes a way of thinking based on the Principle of Oneness.
.
GOD
Origin: “To call, invoke.” God is often believed to be the cause of all things and so is seen as the creator and sustainer and the ruler of the universe. In monotheistic thought, God is usually viewed as the supreme being, creator, and principal object of faith. In polytheistic thought, a god is a spirit or being believed to control some part of the universe or life. Belief in the existence of at least one god is called theism. Buddhism is viewed as a non-theistic religion.
SUBJECT CLEARING NOTE: God is the Unknowable that we are trying to know. What we know becomes part of this universe. The system of postulates underlying this universe would amount to the knowable aspect of God.
.
PRAYER
The therapy in religion takes the form of prayer. The prayer expresses hope that God will resolve the difficulty one is facing. A person, thus, submits to God as the last resort when his own efforts have failed. He surrenders to God for the outcome.
.
MEDITATION
Meditation, as practiced in the non-theistic religion of Buddhism, is the practice of focusing the mind on the ultimate reality of Oneness, and letting all mental impressions, emotions and thoughts flow unresisted through oneself. Meditation has the effect of assimilating the activated contents of the mind.
.
CONFRONT
To face without flinching or avoiding.
.
DEEP CONTEMPLATION
Deep contemplation is being aware of how a subject (concept, difficulty, etc.) appears moment to moment. It is like asking yourself moment to moment, “How does (the subject matter) seem now?” It is seeing that subject matter slowly assimilate.
.
PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is the scientific or objective study of the psyche; where the psyche is the totality of the human mind, conscious and unconscious.
.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy is the informed and intentional application of clinical methods and interpersonal stances derived from established psychological principles for the purpose of assisting people to modify their behaviors, cognitions, emotions, and/or other personal characteristics in directions that the participants deem desirable. Historically, psychotherapy has sometimes meant “interpretative” (i.e. Freudian) methods, namely psychoanalysis, in contrast with other methods to treat psychiatric disorders such as behavior modification.
.
HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a mental state of focused concentration, and diminished peripheral awareness, which makes it possible to access the thought structure that forms a person’s viewpoint. Once the state of hypnosis is induced, suggestions may be given to a person to modify his viewpoint. The person then returns to his normal state of consciousness with a modified viewpoint. It has been found that a person usually had his attention fixed on something. One can, therefore, insert appropriate suggestion through normal conversation.
.
HYPNOTHERAPY
The use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes is referred to as “hypnotherapy.” It is applied to the resolution of anxiety, depression, hysteria and many other disorders by sorting out the anomalies in one’s thought structure underlying the viewpoint. There are many different approaches to hypnotherapy. The most workable approach is Cognitive therapy. There are other hypnotherapies, such as, Ericksonian therapy, Aversion therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, etc.
.
PSYCHOANALYSIS
Psychoanalysis is a set of theories and therapeutic techniques that deal in part with the unconscious mind, and which together form a method of treatment for mental disorders. The discipline was established in the early 1890s by Sigmund Freud, whose work stemmed partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others. Freud developed and refined the theory and practice of psychoanalysis until his death in 1939. In an encyclopedic article, he identified the cornerstones of psychoanalysis as “the assumption that there are unconscious mental processes, the recognition of the theory of repression and resistance, the appreciation of the importance of sexuality and of the Oedipus complex.”
Freud’s colleagues Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung developed offshoots of psychoanalysis which they called individual psychology (Adler) and analytical psychology (Jung), although Freud himself wrote a number of criticisms of them and emphatically denied that they were forms of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis was later developed in different directions by neo-Freudian thinkers, such as Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, and Harry Stack Sullivan.
.
PSYCHIATRY
Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of deleterious mental conditions. These include various matters related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. Initial psychiatric assessment of a person begins with a case history and mental status examination. Physical examinations, psychological tests, and laboratory tests may be conducted. On occasion, neuro-imaging or other neurophysiological studies are performed. Mental disorders are diagnosed in accordance with diagnostic manuals such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
Treatment may include psychotropics (psychiatric medicines) and psychotherapy, and also other modalities such as substance-abuse treatment. Research within psychiatry is conducted on an interdisciplinary basis with other professionals, such as occupational therapists, and clinical psychologists.
.
SCIENTOLOGY
Scientology is a set of beliefs and practices developed by the American author L. Ron Hubbard to make able more able. Hubbard initially developed a set of ideas that he called Dianetics, which he represented as a form of therapy. He then re-characterized his ideas as a religion, and renamed them Scientology.
.
SUBJECT CLEARING
Subject Clearing is detecting the basic postulates, assumptions and erroneous ideas present in a subject. The process involves listing the key concepts in a subject and then arranging them in a logical sequence. The next step is to start filling the holes in that sequence by finding the missing concepts and defining them using the Principle of Oneness. You focus on the earlier and earlier parts of that key word list, till you arrive at the original postulates. Then you come forward filling rest of the holes and missing concepts. The key to Subject Clearing is the PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS.
