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 from existing subjectivity toward greater objectivity. This means noticing the anomalies (inconsistencies, disharmonies and discontinuities) among the dimension points, and resolving them.

There may appear abundance or scarcity in all things, pleasant or ugly, that needs to be remedied, but what really needs to be handled is the viewpoint. The resolution requires rehabilitating the ability of the viewpoint to examine the fixations and letting them unwind naturally. The universal sense of objectivity of seeing things as they are must be regained.

KHTK FACTOR # 28: Any resolution requires the broadening of the viewpoint toward the universal objectivity of seeing things as they are.  It is establishing the continuity, harmony and consistency among the dimension points. This is accomplished by examining the fixations and letting them unwind naturally.

.

The problem is with the viewpoint and not with the dimension points out there. The universe has been evolving in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. It is the view of it that needs to be addressed.

Underlying each fixation is a massive confusion that needs to be approached carefully and allowed to unwind naturally.

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. It is a Catch-22. It requires wide study of life and the scriptures of your religion and that of other religions too; and resolving all contradictions, doubts and perplexities thus found.

KHTK FACTOR # 27: The ultimate beingness is attained by moving beyond the subjective viewpoint attached to the human body and arriving at the objectivity of the universal viewpoint.

.

It is important to experience life and become aware of all its anomalies (inconsistencies, disharmonies and discontinuities). To resolve such anomalies, one may study not only the scriptures of one’s own religion but of all religions in the world.

Most important is to resolve for oneself the doubts, perplexities and confusions that one comes across.

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.

There is no thinking when one is objectively observing things as they are. It is the view that is the thinking of the universal viewpoint. Similarly, it 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: All thoughts, emotion and effort exist in what you view. Thinking and sensing, pleasure and pain, affinity, reality and communication, appear and disappear in that view. Riddles form and resolve in it. None of these manifestations are permanent.

.

All human travails arise from the narrowing of the viewpoint due to fixations. This then leads to extraneous thoughts, emotions and efforts, and all other human phenomena that goes with it.

The universal viewpoint is beyond all such travails.

FACTOR # 25. Thus comes about death.

The death for a viewpoint comes when it has become totally fixated. Its conditioning is complete. All that it views is pre-determined.

The viewpoint may think that it is alive, but that is completely subjective. It cannot let go of any of the fixations. Those fixations have become its “life”.

The viewpoint has forgotten how to evolve. It doesn’t even care for any clarity.

KHTK FACTOR # 25: Thus, with complete fixation, comes about death.

.

That part of the universe that has become completely fixated and which functions automatically, we seem to refer as the physical universe. The part that is capable of evolving, we refer to as the spiritual universe.

Thus, we may view death as the inability to evolve.

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.

We see the universe but not the universal viewpoint. The universal viewpoint lies in the clarity of perception of the universe. As the perception becomes unclear, many speculations, assumptions, beliefs and agreements enter the picture. They introduce subjectivity and the viewpoint starts to become narrow and occluded.

The longing for clarity is always there. The speculations that seem to promise clarity, become valuable as beliefs and one starts to depend on them. One forgets that the actual clarity lies beyond any speculation or assumption. Thus, comes about fixations and one starts to think that letting go of such beliefs will also be the end of oneself.

KHTK FACTOR # 24: The viewpoint is defined by its ability to perceive the dimension points. Absence of clarity leads to dependence on fixed beliefs. Letting go of such beliefs may feel like the end of life.

.

As a person’s speculations and assumptions become fixed, they appear as prejudices, beliefs and all kinds of agreements. Such fixations then influence that person’s perception and become a part of his life.

Such fixations can become so strong that letting them go may seem to that person as if he is losing his life. But that person has the ability to reexamine those beliefs and adjust them toward greater continuity, harmony and consistency.
