Reference: The Scientology Axioms
This paper presents Scientology Axioms 31 – 40 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 31: Goodness and badness, beautifulness and ugliness are alike considerations and have no other basis than opinion.
PM AXIOM 31: Goodness and badness, beautifulness and ugliness, are alike a range of considerations that may be derived from postulates.
SCN AXIOM 32: Anything which is not directly observed tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 32: Any unconscious modification which is not directly observed tends to persist.
SCN AXIOM 33: Any AS-IS-NESS which is altered by NOT-IS-NESS (by force) tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 33: Any IS-NESS which is altered by NOT-IS-NESS (by force) tends to persist.
SCN AXIOM 34: Any IS-NESS, when altered by force, tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 34: This is same as the previous axiom.
SCN AXIOM 35: The ultimate truth is a static.
A Static has no mass, meaning, mobility, no wavelength, no time, no location in space, no space. This has the technical name of “Basic Truth”.
PM AXIOM 35: The ultimate truth is the knowingness of Oneness.
SCN AXIOM 36: A lie is a second postulate, statement or condition designed to mask a primary postulate which is permitted to remain.
EXAMPLES:
Neither truth nor a lie is a motion or alteration of a particle from one position to another.
A lie is a statement that a particle having moved did not move, or a statement that a particle, not having moved, did move.
The basic lie is that a consideration which was made was not made or that it was different.
PM AXIOM 36: A lie is a second postulate, statement or condition designed to mask a primary postulate which is permitted to remain.
SCN AXIOM 37: When a primary consideration is altered but still exists, persistence is achieved for the altering consideration.
All persistence depends on the Basic Truth, but the persistence is of the altering consideration, for the Basic Truth has neither persistence nor impersistence.
PM AXIOM 37: When a primary consideration is altered but still exists, persistence is achieved for the altering consideration..
SCN AXIOM 38:
1. Stupidity is the unknownness of consideration.
2. Mechanical definition: Stupidity is the unknownness of time, place, form and event.
1. Truth is the exact consideration.
2. Truth is the exact time, place, form and event.
Thus, we see that failure to discover Truth brings about stupidity.
Thus, we see that the discovery of Truth would bring about an As-is-ness by actual experiment.
Thus, we see that an ultimate truth would have no time, place, form or event.
Thus, then, we perceive that we can achieve a persistence only when we mask a truth.
Lying is an alteration of time, place, event, or form.
Lying becomes Alter-is-ness, becomes Stupidity. (The blackness of cases is an accumulation of the case’s own or another’s lies.)
Anything which persists must avoid As-is-ness. Thus, anything, to persist, must contain a lie.
For Hubbard, Static is a thing of faith like the “unmoved mover”. The problem with Hubbard’s logic is that the abilities of the Static are persisting. He is not accounting for that. He has not resolved the problem of the Static. What happens when there is no Static?
PM AXIOM 38: Truth is seeing things as they are.
SCN AXIOM 39: Life poses problems for its own solution.
There are problems in life. Some problems get solved. Others persist. The problems that persist are difficult to AS-IS because, in these cases, it is difficult to see what is really there. Something is preventing AS-IS-NESS. That something is a lie and underlying that is a fixation.
PM AXIOM 39: Life poses problems for its own solution.
SCN AXIOM 40: Any problem, to be a problem, must contain a lie. If it were truth, it would unmock.
An “unsolvable problem” would have the greatest persistence. It would also contain the greatest number of altered facts. To make a problem, one must introduce Alter-is-ness.
We come across problems that appear unsolvable. We have to start with some postulate to solve such a problem. If a postulate is letting us nowhere close to a solution, then that postulate is not the truth. We need to come up with a different postulate. Such trial and error may finally lead to overcoming some fixation and finding the lie. The truth would be the solution.
PM AXIOM 40: Any problem, to be a problem, must contain a lie. If it were truth, it would unmock.
