FACTOR # 16. The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms and the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.

The dimension points are seen as they are, only from the universal viewpoint. Here the nature of dimension points and the universal viewpoint is synonymous, which makes the dimension points change, combine and evolve in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. This may be described best as self-animation. This is the real motion.

But the viewpoints commonly encountered are less than universal. A subjective filter polarizes the dimension points and viewpoints making the dimension points appear external to viewpoints. The synonymity is lost and the changes, combinations and evolution are attempted through enforcement and control as there is mystery about their nature. There are misperceptions, misjudgments and departures from reality. This is unnatural motion.

REVISED FACTOR # 16: There is motion when dimension points change, combine and evolve. This motion is continuous, harmonious and consistent being synonymous with the very nature of the universal viewpoint. This makes it essentially self-animation. All lesser viewpoints subjectively see this motion external to them and as needing control.

.

FINAL COMMENTS

We all have self-animation that we hardly ever think about, but that is the true motion. All other motion that we are trying to control is coming from the inability to have the universal viewpoint.

FACTOR # 14. Many dimension points combine into larger gases, fluids or solids. Thus there is matter. But the most valued point is admiration, and admiration is so strong its absence alone permits persistence.

Evolution occurs as dimension points combine into more complex forms. The continuum of electromagnetic substance condenses into the solid core of the atom. Different amount of condensation produces different elements. The elements combine into molecules of different types. The elements and molecules condense into gaseous, liquid and solid forms of matter.

The matter has properties that come from its internal structure. This internal structure is dynamic. It ultimately produces animation of the forms. Both structure and animation among all dimension points are continuous, harmonious and consistent at a fundamental level. So, we have emergence of reactions. There are myriads of such connections and reactions.

Thus, come about sequences of reactions and a system to manage them. So, we have emergence of thought. And this thought becomes increasingly complex as the forms become complex. This gives birth to the mind. As the evolution throughout is continuous, harmonious and consistent, the function of the mind becomes to maintain this continuity, harmony and consistency for subsequent evolution.

But this function of the mind requires viewing things as they are, and to recognize their continuity, harmony and consistency. We may call this admiration. Absence of this admiration alters the perception of what is there and makes the altered illusion persist.

REVISED FACTOR # 14: The dimension points combine to generate more complex forms. But these forms are pure to the degree they are viewed as they are. This is admiration. Lack of admiration results in persistence of impurity.

.

FINAL COMMENTS

This factor is about evolution. The dimension points evolve in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. Admiration involves the awareness of the evolution in its purity. Impurity comes about when the continuity, harmony and consistency of this evolution is not perceived by the mind. This then interrupts the flow of evolution.

This paper presents Factor # 12 from the book SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008 by L. RON HUBBARD. The contents are from the original publication of this book by The Church of Scientology (1952).

FACTOR # 12. The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for the viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration, possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes about all the fundamentals there are to motion.

There is appearance of changes in dimension points, but more climactic is the change in viewpoint that changes the perspective on all dimension points. The underlying criteria of equilibrium is continuity, harmony and consistency of viewpoint and dimension points.

Different viewpoints can be in equilibrium with their own sets of dimension points. But they can still be subjective if they are not in equilibrium with each other. And this requires further expansion of the viewpoints toward the universal viewpoint.

There is appearance of motion, but the real motion is toward the attainment of the universal viewpoint.

REVISED FACTOR # 12: A sudden new perspective may expand the viewpoint; and an expanded viewpoint may acquire a new perspective of all dimension points. There is continuity, harmony and consistency in equilibrium. This is motion.

.

FINAL COMMENTS

An individual may resolve all doubts, perplexities and confusions within himself and thus feel enlightened. This may be accomplished by all individuals. But if there still are discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies among individuals, then the ultimate enlightenment is yet to be attained.

That was Buddha’s effort after attaining his personal enlightenment. It is a tall order. Was Buddha successful in this effort? Is that effort going on still?
