Here is another look at Scientology Factor #1.
SCIENTOLOGY FACTOR # 1: Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect.
This Factor assumes that awareness is there before anything else. It is the essential characteristic or Cause that brings about effect, or motion.
This Factor takes awareness for granted as ‘potential’.
.
But we don’t find that to be the case in actual experience. Awareness is related to relative motion as noted in the Theory of Relativity and KHTK Axiom 2.
KHTK Axiom #2: Awareness arises with relative motion, and disappears when there is no relative motion.
Thus, awareness does not precede motion. It is incorrect to take awareness for granted as ‘potential’.
In fact, cause and effect are abstractions gleaned from associations observed among events. The ‘effect’ event is understood as a consequence of the ‘cause’ event. More correctly, cause is the beginning, and effect is the end, of the same event.
Thus, awareness, and the power to create, is not a requisite for Cause because cause-effect is just an association. There is no such requirement that Cause must exist in isolation before the beginning.
Thus, the assertion that before the beginning was a Cause is questionable.

Here is another look at Scientology Axiom #1:
SCIENTOLOGY AXIOM # 1: LIFE IS BASICALLY A STATIC.
Definition: a Life Static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or in time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive.
This axiom is simply another version of ‘unmoved mover’. Is there such a thing as ‘unmoved mover’?
.
Static and kinetic are conditions that are relative to each other as covered by the Theory of Relativity and KHTK Axiom #1:
KHTK Axiom #1: Neither the state of rest, nor the state of motion can be determined to exist in an absolute sense.
DEFINITION: Absolute means, “Viewed independently; not comparative or relative; ultimate; intrinsic.”
The ‘unmoved mover’ could itself be in motion with respect to something else per the principle of relativity. So, it isn’t really ‘unmoved’.
Thus, it is incorrect to say that a life static has no motion. If it has motion then it also has a wavelength. It will have location in space to the extent it has mass and inertia. It will have location in time to the extent it exists.
About the ‘life static’ having “the ability to postulate and to perceive,” it is a conjecture derived from the existence of motion relative to it.
Thus, the assertion that life is basically static, or a static, is questionable.
