This paper presents Scientology Axioms 11 – 20 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 11: The considerations resulting in conditions of existence are fourfold.
(a) AS-IS-NESS is the condition of immediate creation without persistence, and is the condition of existence which exists at the moment of creation and the moment of destruction, and is different from other considerations in that it does not contain survival.
(b) ALTER-IS-NESS is the consideration which introduces change and therefore time and persistence, into an AS-IS-NESS to obtain persistency.
(c) IS-NESS is an apparency of existence brought about by the continuous alteration of an AS-IS-NESS. This is called, when agreed upon, Reality.
(d) NOT-IS-NESS is the effort to handle IS-NESS by reducing its condition through the use of force. It is an apparency and cannot entirely vanquish an IS-NESS.
In Hubbard’s Theta-MEST system there is no optimum baseline for IS-NESS because he denies the condition of oneness. Each thetan has an arbitrary baseline based on his postulates. This introduces arbitrary in his description of the conditions of existence.
PM AXIOM 11: The considerations resulting in conditions of existence are fourfold.
(a) IS-NESS is the reality resulting from oneness of all postulates and considerations. This is the optimum reality.
(b) ALTER-IS-NESS is the consideration of change in IS-NESS that produces non-optimum reality.
(c) NOT-IS-NESS is the consideration of flat denial of IS-NESS that produces unreality.
(d) AS-IS-NESS is recognizing of ALTER-IS-NESS and NOT-IS-NESS to recover the underlying IS-NESS.
SCN AXIOM 12: The primary condition of any universe is that two spaces, energies, or objects must not occupy the same space. When this condition is violated (perfect duplicate) the apparency of any universe or any part there-of is nulled.
A perfect duplicate refers to two separate objects that are exact copy of each other. The consideration of “two” separates the objects. To eliminate the separation is to eliminate the consideration of “two,” and that eliminates the consideration of duplicate. The whole consideration goes away along with its modifications.
PM AXIOM 12: AS-IS-NESS of a consideration eliminates that consideration along with all its effects.
SCN AXIOM 13: The cycle of action of the physical universe is: create, survive (persist), destroy.
We look at the universe of matter, energy and thought and not just at the “physical” universe. A creation starts with a postulate (thought). The creation persists just as it is postulated, or as it is modified by subsequent considerations. The creation ends with the as-is-ness of the considerations and replacement of original postulate.
PM AXIOM 13: The cycle of action of the universe is: create, survive (persist), destroy.
SCN AXIOM 14: Survival is accomplished by ALTER-IS-NESS and NOT-IS-NESS, by which is gained the persistency known as time.
Survival is accomplished by all postulates and considerations being in harmony, consistency and continuity of oneness. That survival does not depend on any ALTER-ISNESS and NOT-IS-NESS.
PM AXIOM 14: Survival is accomplished by all postulates and considerations being in harmony, consistency and continuity of oneness.
SCN AXIOM 15: Creation is accomplished by the postulation of an AS-IS-NESS.
PM AXIOM 15: Creation is accomplished by the postulation of an IS-NESS that is harmonious, consistent and continuous with existing postulates
SCN AXIOM 16: Complete destruction is accomplished by the postulation of the AS-IS-NESS of any existence and the parts thereof.
PM AXIOM 16: AS-IS-NESS is basically a reversal of ALTER-IS-NESS and NOT-IS-NESS. In the end the postulated IS-NESS remains. To remove that IS-NESS, one simply need to postulate something else.
SCN AXIOM 17: The static, having postulated AS-IS-NESS, then practices ALTER-IS-NESS, and so achieves the apparency of IS-NESS and so obtains reality.
PM AXIOM 17: An IS-NESS is created directly by a postulate that is harmonious, consistent and continuous with existing postulates. The practice of ALTER-IS-NESS only introduces non-optimum reality, which then requires AS-IS-NESS to be resolved.
SCN AXIOM 18: The static, in practicing NOT-IS-NESS, brings about the persistence of unwanted existences, and so brings about unreality, which includes forgetfulness, unconsciousness and other undesirable states.
PM AXIOM 18: The practice of NOT-IS-NESS brings about the persistence of unwanted existences, and so brings about unreality, which includes forgetfulness, unconsciousness, and other undesirable states.
SCN AXIOM 19: Bringing the static to view as-is any condition devaluates that condition.
PM AXIOM 19: AS-IS-NESS of any condition devaluates that condition.
SCN AXIOM 20: Bringing the static to create a perfect duplicate causes the vanishment of any existence or part thereof.
Definition: A perfect duplicate is an additional creation of the object, its energy and space, in its own space, in its own time using its own energy. this violates the condition that two objects must not occupy the same space, and causes the vanishment of the object.
Making a perfect duplicate seems to be a mental exercise that is left to the person to figure out. There is no clear explanation given here on how to make a perfect duplicate. When duplicating a vase, you can make a mental picture of it, but how do you create its energy and space again? How do you create them in its own space and time? How do you use its own energy?
To do that you will have to repeat the exact sequence of actions that it took to make that vase, at the location where that vase was made using the same raw materials employed to make it. If you are just doing it mentally then you must at least know the techniques used in making that vase, the raw materials used, how those raw materials were obtained, etc. It comes down to fully understanding what one is looking at. With deeper understanding one’s viewpoint changes.
Hubbard is talking about a theoretical principle, the ultimate of which is having a viewpoint that can see in depth what is there. There is complete understanding. No anomalies exist in the reality of things. Any anomalies that come up are resolved quickly. There is knowingness as the viewpoint can grasp the oneness of continuity, harmony and consistency in everything.
PM AXIOM 20: Bringing a person to create a perfect duplicate causes the vanishment of any and all anomalies from his understanding.
Definition: An anomaly is a violation of oneness. Its presence in an area is indicated by disharmony, inconsistency or discontinuity. The anomaly appears as arbitrary, contradictory, or missing data.
