The Nature of Matter

September 10, 2022 – 7:02 AM

Reference: The Universe and Physical Elements

Cycles and Substance

The universe is substantial therefore it has substance. In the outermost cycle, this substance is spread out so widely that it is extremely thin and may only be felt as primeval awareness of beingness. As the universe evolves, and the cycles shrink and become more numerous, this substance also thickens, and there is increasing awareness of beingness and activity. As the universe evolves further, and cycles really shrink and become infinitely numerous, the substance has become so thick that it appears solid. The awareness evolves to certainty of beingness, activity and havingness of material forms.

.

Matter & Quantum Particles

That aspect of substance, which appears to us as solid, is called MATTER. It is what makes up the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus acts as the anchor for the whole atom. Similarly, matter acts as the anchor for the whole universe. We are enveloped by matter, which is the layer of the universe most obvious to our senses. Beyond this layer of matter lies rest of the universe, that we try to perceive through metaphysics and religion. Hopefully, science will investigate that aspect of the universe.

Matter has the property of appearing discrete. From the smallest atom to the largest material object, there is a boundary that defines matter. But when we get down to the atom, we find the nucleus surrounded by quantum particles. The word “particle” is a misnomer in the context of “quantum.” These “quantum particles” are not solid. They have a diffused boundary. They are more like a “thick fluid.” The word “quantum” refers to some characteristic of substance, which is not “mass.” We may call it some sort of a “viscous substance” that can exert pressure. Even light can exert pressure, as discovered in science. 

We happen to refer to this quantum substance as “energy,” which is a bad choice of a label, but we are stuck with it. The word “energy” when applied to matter, differentiates matter from its motion. But when the word “energy” is applied to light, light itself is identified as motion—the differentiation between what is moving and its motion is lost. 

.

Rigidity & Center of Mass

Matter reacts mechanically per the Newton’s laws of motion. But the laws of Newton apply to a “center of mass” that represents “rigid matter with fixed boundary.” There is no center of mass when one considers a “quantum particle,” because there is no rigidity with fixed boundary. Here we have a discovery of “soft mass” that has no equivalent in the material world. Newton’s laws of motion do not apply to it. Electromagnetic laws apply only to a special quantum particle called “electron.” Different laws apply to extremely diffused quantum particle called “photon” of light.

To call quantum particles of different types as “soft mass,” and associate with them the property of inertia in a general way, is the logical thing to do as hinted at A Logical Approach to Theoretical Physics. But this is a very novel idea in Physics. So far it has not been acceptable to physicists. I have been laughed at or ignored for suggesting this idea on Quora.com.

The nature of matter is, essentially, being “rigid with a fixed boundary.” As matter loses its rigidity and fixedness of boundary, for example, in the quantum state, it loses it meaning, and is incorrectly replaced by the idea of energy.

The Cyclic Universe

September 8, 2022 – 6:18 AM

Reference: The Universe and Physical Elements

The basic model of the universe may be described as cycles within cycles within cycles. The earlier is the cycle the larger, lighter and more encompassing it is. The later is the cycle the smaller, denser and more limited it is. The evolution takes its course from earlier to later cycles. 

Prior to any evolution there may simply be the impulse to evolve as described in The Creation Hymn of Rig Veda. Even gods came later. The universe being cyclic means that any “creation” is, essentially, a type of change. The idea that “God created this world” can only mean that God evolved into this world. God and this world are one and the same universe. 

The earliest cycle shall have the longest, continuous duration; they will form the background without a boundary. In comparison, the later cycles shall appear increasingly discrete within that background. Total continuity of the background without variation is equivalent to infinite speed since speed appears only when there is discreteness. Therefore, as evolution occurs towards smaller but more numerous cycles the speed slows down. As cycles become smaller, they also appear increasingly condensed, viscous or solid.

.

The Physical Dimension

In the physical dimension, this evolution appears in the form of the electromagnetic spectrum. With evolution of this spectrum, the wavelength decreases while the frequency increases. The electromagnetic energy gradually condenses finally taking the appearance of solid matter. This whole spectrum is evident in the structure of the atom, where solid matter appears at the nucleus in the center far from atom’s boundary.

Matter would be the ultimate condition appearing at the end of evolution of the electromagnetic spectrum. One would expect the electromagnetic wave to be gradually decreasing in speed with increasing frequency. This speed may appear to be nearly constant around the frequency of visible light in the inertial frame of reference (the perspective of matter) as postulated by Einstein.  But the “speed of light” is obviously not constant over the whole electromagnetic spectrum.

The physical matter, in a way, is the uppermost visible crust of the universe behind which the enormity of universe lies. In our ignorance, we believe this material crust to be the whole of universe. We even call it the physical universe. As we come to know more of this universe through science and yoga, our perception is improving. 

The uppermost cycle is the most stretched out and least dense as a substance. We may call this the background of Space. It forms the ultimate reference for all other cycles, which we see progressing within this background. We call this progression Time.

.

The Spiritual Dimension

The impulse to evolve prior to any evolution may be considered the spark that accompanies the evolution all the way. It makes the light move and electrons whiz around the nucleus of an atom. This is the spiritual dimension underlying all motion. It is the spirit underlying the evolution from space to matter. It is what we have been describing as energy.

At the uppermost reaches we have pure, raw energy that we associate with the gods. As this energy condenses, it first appears as the self-animation of light and electrons. This energy then evolves into the complex motion within the DNA molecule and the cells. The cells then evolve into the plant and animal kingdoms. The motion gradually evolves from insentient simplicity to sentient reaction. The reaction evolves in its selectivity in response to increasingly complex conditions. The selective response evolves into analytical observation and considered response to the incredibly complex environment. And finally, it evolves as intelligence  in the humans.

The spiritual dimension that started out as an impulse to evolve, finally evolves into self-animated, complex and intelligent action, which we call life. Thus, intelligence and life are later developments. Intelligence didn’t exist in the beginning. But it exists now after much trial and error, as the peak of evolution.

But there are greater stages ahead of us. The Garden of Eden never existed in the past. It lies in the future. 

The evolution continues.

Running Hubbard’s Processes with Subject Clearing

September 3, 2022 – 2:16 PM

Please see: Grass Roots Scientology

Hubbard’s research started with Dianetics, continued with Scientology Grades, and ended with OT Levels. The processes from Hubbard’s voluminous work are provided here so they can be run by a person himself using the Subject clearing approach.

The Subject Clearing approach requires neither an auditor nor an E-meter. It simply uses the discipline of Subject Clearing. Its purpose is to facilitates Hubbard’s processes to be run at a grass roots self-help level. Please see

The Book of Subject Clearing

.

Dianetics

The first level of Hubbard’s research is DIANETICS: The Modern Science of Mental Health. It basically focuses on running INCIDENTS from a person’s life to help him overcome his difficulties. A person can run Dianetics on himself using the Subject Clearing approach. Please see

Subject Clearing Life: Incidents
Subject Clearing Life: Introversion

.

Scientology Grades

The second level of Hubbard’s research are Scientology Grades. This level focuses on fixations a person has due his IDENTIFICATIONS with his body and mind. Each grade is made up of processes that address different levels of fixations. The person may do a grade level several times until he is satisfied with it. He may then move to the next grade level. These grades are done in the following order.

  1. ARC Straight wire Processes
  2. Grade 0 Processes
  3. Grade 1 Processes
  4. Grade 2 Processes
  5. Grade 3 Processes
  6. Grade 4 Processes

.

Clear Certainty

  1. NED (New Era Dianetics)
  2. Expanded Dianetics
  3. Grade 5 Exercises (Power Processes)
  4. Grade 6 Exercises

.

OT Levels

The third level of Hubbard’s research are the OT Levels. This level focuses on MISCONCEPTIONS that are embedded at a deep level that the person is not aware of.

E-Meter and OT Auditing
Grade 7 Exercises
Scientology OT Levels

Special Rundowns

The three L Rundowns (L10, L11 and L12) are the ultimate processes in Scientology that drill into the mind as fast as possible and resolve some of its aberrations as quickly as possible. But they are very expensive and may not produce the desirable results.

Straight Memory

September 3, 2022 – 6:57 AM

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

There are three modes of thinking: (a) Straight Memory, (b) Free Association, and (c) Figure Figure.

The “straight memory” occurs when a person is engaged in deep contemplation or meditation. The mind is simply concentrated on a line of thought. All distracting thoughts are pushed aside.

The “free-association” occurs when a person is simply being there and confronting. The mind then unwinds itself in the background through free-association.

The “figure figure” is the most common mode of thinking where a person is going around in circles and not reaching any conclusion. It is the default mode in people who are anxious.

Hubbard defines Straight Memory as follows, 

Straight memory is also called straight wire. It is so called because the auditor is directing the memory of the preclear and in doing so is stringing wire, much on the order of a telephone line, between “I” and the standard memory bank, plowing through all occlusions and circuits.

Here the auditor is helping a person focus his thoughts around an auditing question. This is what a person does when he is in a Scientology session running a process. Once a person understands it, he can do it by himself without the help of the auditor. 

Therefore, when a person is trained in Subject Clearing, he may run all Scientology processes by himself. No E-meter is needed since he normally becomes aware of the  presence of unassimilated impressions through his gut feeling.

Interestingly, most memory is accessed in the background, out of one’s attention. The accuracy of a person’s memory is indicated by his rationality in thinking and behavior. So, if a person is quite rational, we can safely assume that his memory is pretty good.

The practice of Data Series improves one’s rationality, because in practicing Data Series a person often encounters his own fixed ideas, and gets rid of them. As a result his mental matrix improves in its assimilation. 

The better is the assimilation of mental matrix, the better is memory and mental health.

The Nature of the Universe

August 29, 2022 – 9:42 PM

Reference: The Universe and Physical Elements

The one thing you can say with certainty about the universe is that it is cyclic. The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun. The sun is on cyclic course within the galaxy; and so on. The universe, essentially, consists of cycles within cycles ad infinitum.

According to the ancient Vedas, the universe has neither a beginning, nor an end. According to Physics, the total energy is conserved. Such observations are confirmations of the ultimate cyclic nature of the universe. 

The verse 7:6 of The Bhagavad Gita states,

“Know that all beings have evolved from this twofold Prakrti (the insentient and the sentient nature) and I am the origin (source) of the entire creation and again it dissolves in Me.”

The universe, therefore, manifests and unmanifests itself in a cyclical fashion.

This is a universe of change. It is changing continuously without stopping. Its behavior is analogous to the motion of a pendulum that keeps on swinging under the influence of gravity.

Using the analogy of the pendulum, the extreme states of the universe may be called static and kinetic. The state of static corresponds to some maximum potential, like the one which exists at either end of the swing of the pendulum. The state of kinetic corresponds to some maximum dynamic, like the one which exists at the middle of the swing of the pendulum in either direction.

As the state of static is reached at the end of a swing, it is disturbed immediately with the start of the next swing. So the state of static may exist only momentarily for the Universe. At that point the Universe shall consist of the maximum potential that is about to express itself in infinity of ways. Science looks at it as the point just before Big Bang.

The Big Bang model in physics seems to explain the manifesting of the kinetic state of the universe from some potential state we know nothing about. The universe manifests as pure energy that, very soon, starts to condense into the form of galaxies, stars and planets 

In the state of static there is no matter, energy, space, time, or even awareness. There is only a potential for all these things. We do not know what causes this potential. It may be some Cosmic influence, similar to gravity that keeps a pendulum swinging.

But neither science nor religion has any clue about the Cosmic influence, which keeps this universe eternally changing in a cyclic fashion.

The Scientology Factor # 1 states, 

“Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect.” 

The cause of the universe is its pervious cycle. There is no primary Cause external to the universe.

The Scientology Factor # 2 states, 

“In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.” 

The “forever” is the duration of the cycle of the universe. There will be other cycles with their relative “forevers.”

In short, the universe is cyclic. It has neither a beginning nor an end. It also has no external cause.
