Project: A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

The original Scientology Factors are a summation of the considerations and examinations of the human spirit and the material universe, which was completed between A.D. 1923 and 1953 by L. Ron Hubbard.

The KHTK Factors are a result of the subject clearing of Buddhism, Scientology and philosophy in general. 

.

FACTOR # 26. The manifestations of pleasure and pain, of thought, emotion and effort, of thinking, of sensation, of affinity, reality, communication, of behavior and being are thus derived and the riddles of our universe are apparently contained and answered herein.

There is no thinking when one is objectively observing things as they are. It is the view that is thinking. Similarly, it is the view that contains the emotions, sensations and feelings. In reaction to this view come about behaviors, such as, communication and effort.

Therefore, additional thoughts, emotions, sensations and feelings are generated as reactions only. If there are no reactions, nothing beyond the view is generated, and view starts resolving itself. As the view is simplified, so are the thoughts, emotions and effort in them.

There is no thinking really. All there is, is the view. Affinity, reality and sensations are part of what is viewed. Any communication simply flows naturally. The key to life is fully understanding what is there. Therein lies ultimate truth, awareness and bliss.

KHTK FACTOR # 26 (old): All human travails and the riddles of the universe derive from the narrow and individualistic viewpoints. They resolve as we broaden our viewpoint to the universal viewpoint.

.

FACTOR # 27. There is beingness, but Man believes there is only becomingness.

We find Man in a state in which he is identifying himself with his subjective viewpoint. In other words, he entertains fixed ideas, prejudices and beliefs, and he is fixated on his view of things. Salvation lies in letting go of such fixations and arriving at the objectivity of the universal viewpoint.

But it is very hard to let go of such fixations in the absence of better clarity of view. This is possible, however with subject clearing of the scriptures of one’s own religion as well as those of other religions. Overall, it requires a wide study of life and the resolution of the contradictions, doubts and perplexities thus found.

KHTK FACTOR # 27 (old): There is beingness of universal viewpoint, but Man believes only in the becomingness of individual viewpoints.

.

FACTOR # 28. The resolution of any problem posed hereby is the establishment of viewpoints and dimension points, the betterment of condition and concourse amongst dimension points, and, thereby, viewpoints, and the remedy of abundance or scarcity in all things, pleasant or ugly, by the rehabilitation of the ability of the viewpoint to assume points of view, and create and uncreate, neglect, start, change and stop dimension points of any kind at the determinism of the viewpoint. Certainty in all three universes must be regained, for certainty, not data, is knowledge.

The resolution of any human condition requires the broadening of the viewpoint toward the objectivity of universal viewpoint. This means noticing the anomalies (inconsistencies, disharmonies and discontinuities) because of one’s individual viewpoint. This doesn’t mean giving up one’s individuality and becoming one with universe. This means giving up self-generated considerations that are preventing one from seeing things as they are.

There may appear abundance or scarcity in all things, pleasant or ugly, but what really needs to be remedied is the ability of the viewpoint to examine the fixations and letting them unwind naturally. The individual viewpoint must be expanded toward becoming a universal viewpoint.

KHTK FACTOR # 28 (old): The resolution of any human condition requires the broadening of the individual viewpoint toward the universal viewpoint. This means giving up self-generated considerations that are preventing one from seeing things as they are.

.

FACTOR # 29. In the opinion of the viewpoint, any beingness, any thing, is better than no thing, any effect is better than no effect, any universe better than no universe, any particle better than no particle, but the particle of admiration is best of all.

The universal viewpoint represents the beingness of the universe as “observer”. The universal dimension points represent the beingness of the universe as “observed”. At the level of the universe there is no distinction between the “observer” and “observed”.  As viewpoint narrows the objective view of dimension points is increasingly replaced by the subjective view of opinions. The “observer” then appears to be separate from the “observed”.

As long as there is viewpoint, there is also beingness and there is also universe and particles. Admiration is the appreciation of dimension points for what they are. It brings the observer and the observed together as one. It is, therefore, the most valuable particle.

KHTK FACTOR # 29 (old): The narrow individuality of the viewpoint puts separation between observer and the observed; whereas, admiration brings the observer and the observed closer together. The particle of admiration, therefore, is best of all.

.

FACTOR # 30. And above these things there might be speculation only. And below these things there is the playing of the game. But these things which are written here Man can experience and know. And some may care to teach these things and some may care to use them to assist those in distress and some may desire to employ them to make individuals and organizations more able and so give to Earth a culture of which we can be proud.

In these Factors, Hubbard seem to be addressing the human condition just as Buddha did. But he favors the “individuality” of narrow viewpoints and ends up disparaging the attainment of universal viewpoint, which was embodied in the goal of Nirvana of Buddha.

Hubbard focuses on those things that, according to him, can be experienced and known. This may be true as he shares the subjective individuality of the western culture. But this subjectivity flies in the face of the objectivity of Vedas and Buddhism that is the characteristic of the eastern civilization.

Hubbard, however, has used modern scientific approach in his subject of Scientology that is valuable. These Factors simply need to be aligned with the fundamental objectivity of Vedas and Buddhism. I have attempted to do this in my proposed revision of the Factors.

KHTK FACTOR # 30 (old): This revision of Hubbard’s pioneering work is an attempt to make it consistent with the objectivity of Vedas and Buddhism. Let’s hope that it inspires new powerful techniques for the resolution of the human condition.

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.

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.

KHTK FACTOR # 16 (old): The dimension points through their innate impulses are capable of self-animation. They combine into simple and complex forms, and these forms combine further while retaining their self-animation. The viewpoints belong to the forms, but subjectivity makes them appear to be separate.

.

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.

The laws of nature, as expressed through self-animation, regulate the motion of dimension points and their forms. This self-animation is recognized through the objectivity of the universal viewpoint. The real art is the nature itself. Narrower viewpoints simply add their considerations to it. The added opinions belong to the subjectivity of narrower viewpoints.

According to Hubbard, each individual creates his own universe. That is true only in the subjective sense. These individual universes are subjective universes. One can change, manipulate and control one’s universe only to the degree one can change, manipulate and control one’s considerations.

KHTK FACTOR # 17 (old): The forms have evolved from minerals to plants to animals to humans and their activities. Therein lies the art. But human viewpoints add their colorful considerations of beauty and ugliness to it.

.

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

From the human viewpoint, the forms that appear pleasing should endure; and others that are not so pleasing are let go. But from the universal viewpoint, there is simply evolution that is continuous, harmonious and consistent.

The human effort is to make life pleasing by getting rid of 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 expand the human viewpoint. Here we have the evolution of human thought.

KHTK FACTOR # 18 (old): The human viewpoint sees survival and suffering among these forms, and it endeavors to settle it through prayer, meditation, art, and science. Thus, there is evolution.

.

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

Viewpoint require dimension points, and their forms, in order to exist. The dimension points and their forms change and so do the viewpoints. As long as there is a viewpoint, there has to be some dimension point and form. No viewpoint can exist without points to view.

The narrow viewpoints are looking through filters of self-generated considerations, altering the view of the dimension points. Each viewpoint has its own filters, which keeps them separate from other viewpoints. As these filters become more individualistic the viewpoints diverge further. But as these filters are removed, all viewpoints converge toward the universal viewpoint. The universal viewpoint is objective.

KHTK FACTOR # 19 (old): Neither the viewpoint, nor the dimension points and their forms, can completely perish. But they can change over a wide range.

.

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.

The viewpoints become dependent only upon their self-generated considerations through which they look at the dimension points. As the human viewpoints interact, they share their considerations (fixed ideas, beliefs and prejudices). This leads to agreements. These viewpoints then become bound by such agreements. This expresses itself as cultural conditioning.

A viewpoint has two choices: either to get rid of its conditioning, or to bring about similar conditioning in others. We see both of these phenomena occurring in religion, politics and cultural assimilation.

KHTK FACTOR # 20 (old): And many viewpoints, interacting, come to agree on their self-generated considerations (fixed ideas, beliefs and prejudices). And so, they become dependent on such agreements with other viewpoints.

.

FACTOR # 6. The action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing.

The dimension points come into view when attention is placed of them. They go out of view when attention moves away.

Also, many dimension points may disappear as the viewpoint narrows. A person with narrow viewpoint is simply unaware of many aspects of what is there. On the other hand, as a person’s viewpoint broadens he becomes aware of more dimension points, and he starts to get realizations.

KHTK FACTOR # 6 (old): Dimension points move in and out of awareness of the viewpoint.

.

FACTOR # 7. And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are made. Thus there is communication.

As dimension points are viewed discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies come to notice. As these anomalies are followed up new dimension points come to view. This broadens the viewpoint and it finds more things in common with other viewpoints. Thus, real communication comes about.

If the viewpoints are narrow and close themselves to new dimension points then some doubts, perplexities and confusions may never resolve no matter how much communication take place. The solution is for the viewpoints is to broaden themselves.

KHTK FACTOR # 7 (old): From viewpoint, the dimension points are viewed; and the follow up generates new dimension points. Thus, there is communication.

.

FACTOR # 8. And thus there is light.

Light is energy with innate impulse. It has a beingness and a viewpoint with which it interacts with other things. It absorbs information and carries with it. This information can be extracted later at far away distances. This provides perception. Thus, existence can be perceived for what it is.

KHTK FACTOR # 8 (old): And thus, there is perception.

.

FACTOR # 9. And thus there is energy.

Light is an expression of energy. Energy is the basic substance of the universe that carries innate impulses. It forms the dimension points and the viewpoint. It is the fabric of existence. All activity exists because of energy.

KHTK FACTOR # 9 (old): And thus, there is activity.

.

FACTOR # 10. And thus there is life.

Life is composed of communication, perception and activity. Life evolves from innate impulse of energy to animated matter, which further acquires the ability to react and think.

The ultimate stage of thought is enlightenment, which is the recognition of its own nature. The moment thought recognizes its own nature it is enlightened.

KHTK FACTOR # 10 (old): And thus, life evolves.
