Knowing How to Know

KHTK Factor # 27

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 27: The cause of life’s suffering is attachment to what one postulates.

We postulate to know the Unknowable. We can let go of a postulate and just as easily make a different postulate. But we get invested in a postulate when we build a complex structure on top of that postulate and start to believe in it.

The universe is such a complex structure. There have been many cycles of the universe in the past. There will be many cycles of the universe in the future. There is the current cycle of the universe. It is not an illusion. But it is what it is. It is the outcome of one’s postulates. Knowing that is freedom.

For one can then be involved without being attached to it.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

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

When one is simply being, one is not introverted into oneself. Becomingness starts with introversion into oneself.

.

Logic

One gets extroverted as one starts to resolve anomalies. The simplification continues until the Unknowable realizes what it is.

KHTK Factor # 26

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 26: In this universe, the anomalies manifest themselves as suffering. 

There is no permanent self that suffers. Therefore, the suffering actually exist in what is being viewed in this universe. This view consists of thoughts, emotions, sensations and feelings. As the view is resolved, so are the thoughts, emotions and effort in them.

These are the anomalies that make up the life of humans. The anomalies appear as pleasure and pain. They 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.

When you look closely, the thinking, sensations, affinity, reality and communication—all reduce to  what is being viewed. The key to life is fully experiencing and understanding what is there. It is the resolution of these anomalies in our mind that leads us to experience the nirvana of Buddhism. Therein lies the ultimate truth, awareness and bliss.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

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

All these things are manifestations. In other words, all these things are dimension points that are being viewed.

.

Logic

We tend to identify ourselves with what we are viewing.

Scientology Factors: An Analysis by Grouping

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

After the discovery of the Principle of ONENESS of KHTK, the Scientology Factors may be grouped as follows:

(1) These first five factors outline the creation of beingness through postulates.

FACTOR # 1. Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect.

FACTOR # 2. In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.

FACTOR # 3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.

FACTOR # 4. The second action of beingness is to extend from the viewpoint, points to view, which are dimension points.

FACTOR # 5. Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is: viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose of a dimension point is space and a point of view.

(2) The next five factors outline the expansion and consolidation of the substance of beingness.

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

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.

FACTOR # 8. And thus there is light.

FACTOR # 9. And thus there is energy.

FACTOR # 10. And thus there is life.

(3) The next five factors outline the criterion of ONENESS (per KHTK) that guides the growth of beingness.

FACTOR # 11. But there are other viewpoints and these viewpoints out-thrust points to view. And there comes about an interchange amongst viewpoints; but the interchange is never otherwise than in terms of exchanging dimension points.

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.

FACTOR # 13. The dimension points are each and every one, whether large or small, solid. And they are solid solely because the viewpoints say they are solid.

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.

FACTOR # 15. The dimension point can be different from other dimension points and thus can possess an individual quality. And many dimension points can possess a similar quality, and others can possess a similar quality unto themselves. Thus comes about the quality of classes of matter.

(4) The next five factors outline the beingness expressing its free will within the constraint of Oneness.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

(5) The next five factors outline the creation of the universe and the dynamic oneness of it all.

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

FACTOR # 22. And there are universes.

FACTOR # 23. The universes, then, are three in number: the universe created by one viewpoint, the universe created by every other viewpoint, the universe created by the mutual action of viewpoints which is agreed to be upheld—the physical universe.

FACTOR # 24. And the viewpoints are never seen. And the viewpoints consider more and more that the dimension points are valuable. And the viewpoints try to become the anchor points and forget that they can create more points and space and forms. Thus comes about scarcity. And the dimension points can perish and so the viewpoints assume that they, too, can perish.

FACTOR # 25. Thus comes about death.

(6) The next five factors outline the violations of the Principle of Oneness and the resolution of resulting anomalies.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Definitions

KHTK
The philosophy of “Knowing How To Know” arising from Subject Clearing.

POSTULATE
A postulate is a self-created truth based on which further reasoning occurs.

SUBSTANCE
Substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed by our physical and mental senses.

THE PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS
The principle of oneness underlies the very concept of the universe. The word UNIVERSE derives from a Latin root, which means “entire, all, literally, turned into one.” Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that the universe is continuous, consistent and harmonious.

ANOMALY
An anomaly is any violation of the principle of oneness, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

FREE WILL
The free will is expressed through the continually changing universe with nothing ever remaining permanent except for the principle of Oneness.

For other definitions, please see KHTK Glossary (Metaphysics).

KHTK Factor # 25

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK Factor # 25: Death is a switching of physical beingness.

The beingness is changing all the time even at the fundamental level of postulates. In other words, there is no permanent beingness.

During a lifetime, the physical beingness is relatively fixed; but it still changes from childhood to adult phase to old age. What we call “death” is essentially the ending of the body or the physical beingness of a lifetime.

The mental beingness consists of the postulates that have come together to form the viewpoint. The viewpoint can change without thinking that it is the end of its existence. But it can become fixated on its speculations, assumption or ideas. In that case, it may think that letting go of such beliefs will also be the end of itself. This is an aberration.

What continues after death are the changes one brought about in the accumulated knowledge of the society and mankind. The specific beingness also continues through one’s DNA. The DNA consists of the blueprint of the body plus evolutionary programming. The unassimilated impressions are also carried forward until they are fully assimilated.

The DNA exists in the ashes of the body. But DNA is also transmitted through one’s children.

.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 25. Thus comes about death.

This follows from Scientology Factor # 24, according to which the viewpoint starts to identify itself with the dimension points; and starts to believe that, like them, it can perish too.

.

Logic

The logic of afterlife can easily be explained as above in the continuation of mental fixations beyond the death of physical beingness.

.

KHTK Factor # 24

Reference: A Course on the Factors

KHTK FACTOR # 24: The viewpoint or beingness is not fixed in its postulates or ideas. It can change itself to fit the circumstances.

The postulates that have come together to form the viewpoint or beingness can change. In other words, the viewpoint or beingness may change without thinking that it is the end of its existence. But a beingness may get fixated on itself thinking that it will perish if it changes.

Thus, as the beingness starts to become fixated on its speculations, assumption or ideas. It starts to think that letting go of such beliefs will also be the end of itself. To the degree the viewpoint or beingness gets fixated, to that degree it also gets aberrated.

.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 24. And the viewpoints are never seen. And the viewpoints consider more and more that the dimension points are valuable. And the viewpoints try to become the anchor points and forget that they can create more points and space and forms. Thus comes about scarcity. And the dimension points can perish and so the viewpoints assume that they, too, can perish.

Scientology assumes that viewpoints or beingness is imperishable. In other words, the viewpoint or beingness is permanent or fixed at some level. Therefore, it cannot be fully creative as it cannot change itself at some level. It becomes aberrated.

.

Logic

A fixation at any level means aberration. The idea that one is an eternal being is inherently a fixation that leads to aberration.
