Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

A person arrives at these factors as he looks at the world from the viewpoint of Postulate Mechanics. These factors are inspired by Hubbard’s insights contained in Scientology Factors along with the insights from the Vedas, Hinduism and Buddhism.

The Beginning

NOTE: Substantiality and awareness appear together as a pair. Space is just an attribute of the resulting reality.

1. A beginning is the manifestation of substantiality.
2. Since substantiality is manifested, there must also be awareness.
3. Therefore, there must also be a viewpoint.
4. And there must also be something that is viewed.
5. Thus, there is substance that can be sensed, and responded to.

Oneness of Life

6. The substance has inherent motion and inertia.
7. There is diversification of motion and inertia and their assimilation.
8. And thus there is harmony.
9. That extends as consistency and continuity.
10. And so there is oneness of life.

Goal of Oneness

11. But there are other viewpoints with different frameworks. And there is interchange among them of different views.
12. The viewpoints have the ability to modify views and adjust differences. Thus, there is harmony of motion among viewpoints.
13. Thus there is a common reality generated among viewpoints; and that reality appears as solid.
14. The reality grows into larger structures of thought, energy and matter. But the oneness is impeded by lack of admiration.
15. Thus, there is an increasingly complex spectrum of substance, which generates objects that have varied, individual characteristics.

.

Individuality and Free Will

16. With consolidation of viewpoints, the forms and their motion becomes increasingly fine and complex. 
17. The beauty or ugliness depends on the harmony of forms as seen by the viewpoint. These considerations alone are art.
18. As viewpoints become attached to the forms, concern about survival arises.
19. Neither an individual form nor an individual viewpoint can survive for ever.
20. The viewpoints, as they accept forms without viewing them thoroughly, become dependent upon those forms.

.

The Universe

21. All changes must be harmonious, consistent and continuous. Thus, there is dynamic oneness. And that, regulated, is TIME. 
22. This is the essence of the universe.
23. Thus, universe is based on the postulate of substantiality-awareness-oneness. Ideally, there is assimilation of all viewpoints.
24. The idea of unchanging, eternal viewpoints is a violation of dynamic oneness. That is the source of anomalies.
25. The presence of unresolved anomalies maintain the cycles of life and death.

.

Anomalies and Resolutions

26. The anomalies are violations of the oneness of Universe. They manifest as suffering. 
27. The cause of life’s suffering is basically an attachment to a viewpoint. That gives rise to fixation.
28. Freedom from suffering lies in the spotting and resolving of fixations.
29. The optimum viewpoint is that which establishes the dynamic oneness of the universe.
30. One may teach or prescribe all kind of things; but a person will pursue only what he thinks would resolve his gravest concern. Let us then provide him with techniques that would help him resolve his concerns by himself. This will lead to a problem-solving culture of which we can be proud.
