These postulates explore the nature of identities and anomalies.

A postulate is a foundational assumption taken as true, from which everything else is derived.

Abbreviation: PS = Postulate

Postulates

PS 46: Identities are made up of an assortment of anomalies.

1. An anomaly is something that does not make sense.
2. An identity does not have a single cause. Its whole structure must be understood.

PS 47: Anomalies resolve with assimilation of sensations, perceptions, concepts, experience and knowledge.

1. Assimilation takes place as one looks at anomalies closely.
2. The laws of looking are listed at The Laws of Looking.

PS 48: Anomalies in sensations resolve when sensations are experienced without resistance.

1. The anomalies in sensations appear as tension (charge).
2. Any resolution with sensations in the body must be accompanied by proper medical care.

PS 49: Anomalies in perceptions resolve with spotting of arbitrary, contradictory and missing data.

1. Arbitrary data is something that doesn’t fit and has no clear reason.
2. Contradictory data represents two things that cancel each other out.
3. Missing data is a gap where something should be but isn’t.

PS 50: Anomalies in concepts resolve with clearing of confusions and doubts.

1. This action may start by clearing up the definitions of a concept.

PS 51: Anomalies in experiences resolve with exploration of earlier similar experiences.

1. Anomaly at the level of experience appears as an unwanted condition (problem, anxiety, etc.)
2. You look at the experience thoroughly from beginning to end.
3. You continue exploring earlier similar experiences until the anomaly resolves

PS 52: Anomalies in knowledge resolve with clearing of complete order of its terminology.

1. This may be accomplished by the application of subject clearing.

PS 53: Anomalies are difficult to spot when they are justified in the mind

1. Be alert to justifications, excuses, unnecessary explanations, assumptions, etc.

PS 54: Anomalies are resolved by looking and not thinking.

1. A cause and effect approach may lead to an endless search for why.
2. It is productive to look from the perspective of an overall oneness.

PS 55: When you have looked at an anomaly thoroughly, it ceases to be an anomaly.

1. Looking reveals the structure of the anomaly. When you understand it, the anomaly disappears.

PS 56: Uncontrolled chattering of the mind must be looked at without thinking.

1. Let the mind unfold itself as you look at it. Digging into the mind can be harmful.

PS 57: Uncontrolled feeling or emotion in the mind must be experienced fully by diving into the center of it.

1. Let the feeling or emotion pour itself out and discharge.

PS 58: When an anomaly does not resolve by looking, an identified thought exists.

1. Anomaly does not resolve when there is no distance between awareness and thought.

PS 59: To resolve an identified thought, assign it a natural location and then look at it.

1. Alternatively, make copies of the thought (especially a picture) and place them all over the place.

PS 60: The resolution of an anomaly makes some unknown known.

1. Resolution of an identity makes some thought form known.

These postulates outline the substance of the universe, and its characteristics.

A postulate is a foundational assumption taken as true, from which everything else is derived.

Abbreviation: PS = Postulate

Postulates

PS 16: As thought condenses it acquires the characteristics of energy.

1. With condensation thought forms become increasingly fixed.
2. Energy is much more restricted by laws than thought.

PS 17: As energy condenses it acquires the characteristics of matter.

1. With condensation energy forms become increasingly structured.
2. Matter is much more structured by laws than energy.

PS 18: Thought, energy, and matter form a continuous spectrum of substance.

1. Substance is that, which is substantial enough to be sensed.

PS 19: The UNIVERSE consists of the spectrum of thought, energy, and matter.

1. But the primary substance of the universe is thought.
2. Because thought also interprets the forms of energy and matter.

PS 20: The substantiality of substance comes from its INERTIA.

1. Inertia is the tendency of a substance to maintain its intrinsic motion.
2. Inertia increases as substance condenses from thought to energy to matter.

PS 21: The inertia of thought is produced by identification.

1. Ideally this identification changes extremely rapidly and continuously.
2. When identification is fixed thought acquires lot of inertia.

PS 22: The inertia of energy is seen as momentum.

1. Momentum give energy its physical properties.
2. Momentum increase as energy gains complex particle properties.

PS 23: The inertia of matter is seen as mass.

1. Mass comes from the solidification of energy particles.
2. Mass can, therefore, be used to form solid structures.

PS 24: The intrinsic MOTION of substance decreases as its inertia increases.

1. Motion is an inherent rate of change of form of substance.
2. Motion decreases as substance condenses from thought to energy to matter.

PS 25: Absolute rest (zero motion) is approached with infinite inertia.

1. The black hole at the center of a large galaxy approaches infinite inertia.

PS 26: Void is infinitely dynamic awareness of thought with no identification.

1. This is a theoretical state of pure awareness.
2. In this state, thought is completely dynamic.

PS 27: The intrinsic extents of substance describe SPACE.

1. Empty space shall be empty of matter; but not empty of thought.
2. There is no space in the absence of substance.

PS 28: The intrinsic duration of substance describes TIME.

1. “Infinite Time” shall mean an enduring form with no change.
2. There is no time in the absence of substance.

PS 29: Space and time are intrinsic properties of substance.

1. Space and time cannot exist by themselves. There is at least thought.
2. Thought is substance like energy and matter.

PS 30: The universe is derived from the postulate SUBSTANCE-AWARENESS-ONENESS.

1. Vedas mention this postulate as “sat-chit-ananda.”
2. SUBSTANCE is the spectrum of thought, energy, and matter.
3. AWARENESS is what looks at the substance to produce consciousness.
4. ONENESS is the ideal state of a dynamic consciousness.

When we apply the method of SUBJECT CLEARING to the general knowledge we inevitably end up with the following postulates. 

POSTULATE # 31: Underlying an anomaly there is fixation of attention.

COROLLARY: Fixed attention generates anomalies.

Most people have their attention fixated on the body and identity. This leads to fixations on survival and politics. All reactions, as in obsessive-compulsive behavior, are fixations. When you are trying to locate an anomaly, follow the trail of fixation of attention. When you are trying to resolve an anomaly, work out the anatomy of fixations involved. Illusions arise when there are fixations. When you recognize fixations for what they are, you free yourself from them.

Fixations on body appear in the belief that one is just the body. Such a person is fixated on taking care of the body. He rarely have “out-of-body” experiences. Attention gets centered on the body as new sensations are encountered; but when that attention is suppressed it gets fixated there. Attention definitely gets fixated on the body when there are shocks, accidents, and illnesses.

In Scientology, attention gets fixated on individuality when one makes an effort to resolve present and past identities. The attention naturally settles in exploring the environment. For remedies of fixated attention refer to the POSTULATES 26, 27 and 28.
