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.

The fundamental viewpoint is that of the universe. From this viewpoint the whole universe is perceived objectively. This gives the glimpse of the universe truly for what it is.

Departure from this universal viewpoint can occur in infinitely different ways. This produces infinity of narrower viewpoints, each having its own view of the universe. These are the subjective versions of the original dimension points.

The original dimension points are each and every one, real, continuous, harmonious and consistent. They are what they are as awareness, thought, force and the solidity of matter. But they may be viewed differently depending on the subjectivity of a viewpoint.

KHTK FACTOR # 13: The dimension points, each and every one, whether large or small, form awareness, thoughts, force and solidity of matter . But they may be viewed differently depending on the subjectivity of the viewpoint.

We cannot say what dimension points are truly like unless we can see them as they are. That is possible only from a universal viewpoint. That viewpoint is completely objective, and it sees the universe as a complete whole. This makes the universe real, continuous, harmonious and consistent.

But rarely anybody holds that universal viewpoint. Our viewpoints are much narrower and, therefore, infused with subjectivity. Thus, we view the universe as “colored by the narrowness of our viewpoint”. This makes the dimension points different for different viewpoints.

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.

Per Factor # 3 the natural viewpoint is the universal viewpoint, which is objective and universally shared. As a viewpoint narrows from its natural state it loses its objectivity and becomes subjective. It no longer sees the dimension points as they are; instead it holds an opinion about them.

As there are degrees of subjectivity, there can be any number of subjective viewpoints with their own opinions of dimension points. Thus, different viewpoints have different views of the same thing, which they exchange among them.

The universal viewpoint, which is objective, has the awareness of the actual dimension points, but it cannot easily communicate it to narrower viewpoints, which are subjective. The narrower viewpoints hold their own versions of the dimension points as opinions.

KHTK FACTOR # 11: The natural viewpoint is the universal viewpoint. As it narrows there comes about a multiplicity of subjective viewpoints. These viewpoints hold their own opinions of dimension points, which they then interchange.

.

The objective viewpoint is universally shared only because different people have independently arrived at that conclusion. It is, therefore, not the result of some agreement.

Agreements, such as, the Earth is flat, or that there is a God with extraordinary attributes, are not necessarily arrived at objectively. These simply could be opinions shared by a community of people.

Objective viewpoint is something very different and unique. It stands by itself, and not by some agreement.

FACTOR # 9. And thus there is energy.

The perception and understanding are followed by purposeful activity. After enlightenment this purposeful activity becomes helping others to achieve enlightenment.

KHTK FACTOR # 9: And thus there is purposeful activity.

.

This purposeful activity of bringing enlightenment to others is the natural progression. Enlightenment is the prerequisite for further evolution.
