Knowing How to Know

KHTK Factor # 21

June 3, 2023 – 6:34 AM

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 21: The reality of the universe comes from the consistency of viewpoint of the interaction of dimension points.

The reality is generated from the continuity, consistency and harmony among the viewpoints and the dimension points. Any discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony appears as an anomaly.

Such anomalies give rise to unreality, conflicts and all the aberrations that we see around us. It is what Buddha called birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow and defilements. It is the resolution of these anomalies in our mind that leads us to experience the nirvana of Buddhism.

The overriding principle is the oneness of reality that brings us close to the knowledge of the Unknowable. Each universe is such an attempt to know the Unknowable. When we come to that knowledge, the cycle ends. A new cycle then starts for the attempt to know the Unknowable. 

Thus, there are cycles of universes.

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 21. From this comes a consistency of viewpoint of the interaction of dimension points and this, regulated, is TIME.

There is nobody regulating anything. There is simply the principle of oneness of reality that guides us toward the knowledge of the Unknowable.

Logic

The overriding logic is the oneness of reality.

KHTK Factor # 20

June 2, 2023 – 4:46 AM

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 20: All viewpoints and dimension points are part of the same reality; and, therefore, they are dependent on each other.

A viewpoint comes about because there is Unknowable, which needs to be made known. Thus, there is a postulate, and there is reasoning that follows from that postulate. This gives rise to a reality.

A viewpoint is, therefore, made up of certain postulates. The reality is also made up of postulates and the reasoning that follows from it. The viewpoint is a part of that reality. That reality substitutes for the Unknowable, and thus provides forms.

As postulates grow, so does the number of viewpoints, and also the overall reality. All viewpoints are a part of that reality. All forms are also a part of the reality. The viewpoints are looking at those forms. 

The prime postulate is that all reality is ONE because the Unknowable is one, and the reality defines the Unknowable.

Therefore, all postulates that make up the reality must be continuous, consistent and harmonious. The viewpoints and the forms are part of that reality. Therefore, all viewpoints and forms must also be continuous, consistent and harmonious.

This makes all the viewpoints and the forms of the universe dependent on each other. This is just another way of describing the Specific conditionality and Dependent origination of Buddha.

The direct experience of the prime postulate constitutes Nirvana.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 20. And the many viewpoints, interacting, become dependent upon one another’s forms and do not choose to distinguish completely the ownership of dimension points and so comes about a dependency upon the dimension points and upon the other viewpoints. 

Such dependency exist because of the nature of the reality. The viewpoints and dimensions points are part of the same reality.

.

Logic

The prime postulate is that all reality is ONE because the Unknowable is one, and the reality defines the Unknowable.

This oneness is expressed in terms of the continuity, consistency and harmony of reality. Any violation of the integrity of reality appears as an anomaly.

KHTK Factor # 19

May 30, 2023 – 4:18 AM

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 19: Neither our forms nor our viewpoints are imperishable. They are forever changing.

Our viewpoint can change just as our form can change. Of this we can be sure. 

Bodies die and new bodies are born. The old identity is no longer there. New identities come about. Most of the times this change is gradual. But, at times, it can be quite sudden.

This is natural.

But neither the form nor the viewpoint is unchanging and eternal. There is no permanent individuality.

.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 19. And the viewpoint can never perish; but the form can perish. 

That a viewpoint can never perish is a fixed idea of Hubbard. It just happens to be quite prevalent in the society, such as, the soul of a person is considered to be eternal. But this is not verified to be true. Memories may last beyond a lifetime, but this does not verify the eternity of soul.

.

Logic

In this universe, absolutes are unattainable. There is no substance that remains unchanging eternally.

KHTK Factor # 18

May 29, 2023 – 7:15 AM

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 18: The human viewpoint sees suffering and survival among these forms, and it endeavors to resolve it through prayer, meditation, art, and science.

The human effort is to make life better by resolving suffering. Prayer is the longing for freedom from suffering. Meditation is an effort to let go of existing conditioning. Art is the search for new viewpoints that go beyond the mundane human existence. Science uses a more systematic approach to covert vision into reality. Here we have the evolution of human thought.

.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 18. It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these forms should endure. Thus there is survival.

Any opinion must have a purpose underlying it. The purpose to simply create an effect is without substance. It is empty and hollow. 

.

Logic

Logic must have the purpose to resolve anomalies; and not just to have opinions to create effect.

The overall purpose is to know and evolve.

KHTK Factor # 17

May 27, 2023 – 6:35 AM

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 17: A person’s universe is made up of what he has thought—good or bad. It is all one reality. But a person sees only what he considers, and not the totality of that reality. 

Buddha said, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.” Whatever good or bad is happening to us is based on our thoughts. You cannot say that all that is good is the result of your thoughts, and all that is bad is the result of some other person’s thought.

Reality is out there. We are trying to approximate that reality with our postulates and reasoning. We are as close to that reality as we are integrated in our thoughts. When we assign our thoughts to somebody else, we lose that integration, because we think we are no longer responsible for those thoughts. That is the source of all that is bad.

.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 17. And the opinion of the viewpoint regulates the consideration of the forms, their stillness or their motion, and these considerations consist of assignment of beauty or ugliness to the forms and these considerations alone are art.

According to Hubbard, one is creating his own universe through his considerations. He says, “One’s own universe is amenable to instantaneous creation and destruction, by himself and without argument.” This is not so. A person is bound by his own postulates that determine his individuality. He can create and destroy only within the bounds of those postulates. All his opinions that regulate the considerations of forms are limited by the postulates that determine his individuality. 

.

Logic

The logic of an individual is constrained by the illusion of his individuality.
