Matter is a substance so condensed that it has a center of mass. Less condensed substances, like electricity and light, have no center of mass, but they have consistency.
Consistency is a dimension of a substance that is actually the subject of Quantum mechanics. The size of the quantum is determined by the consistency of the substance. Quantum is the energy involved in subatomic interactions.
The nucleus of an atom has mass, but the substance around the nucleus has consistency but no mass. Consistency also has inertia just like mass. Therefore, the electromagnetic substance, such as light, has momentum even when it is not made up of atoms.
The “mass” of an electron is actually a measure of inertia in response to enforced motion. It is the result of electron having the highest consistency among electromagnetic substances.
NOTE (Sep 15, 2021): I have revised the above to make the definitions of “substance,” “mass,” and “consistency” more clear. It also clarifies the definition of “quantum” as “the energy involved in subatomic interactions.” It also puts the definition of “inertia” in proper perspective.
The most confusing concept pertaining to particle physics is the concept of “particle” itself. We are familiar with mass particles. Such particles have a center of mass, and momentum. A mass particle reduces to an atom. The nucleus of an atom acts as the center of mass. The rest of the atom is configured around this nucleus.
When we get beyond the atom and look at electromagnetic radiation, we are dealing with a very different kind of substance. It has momentum but no center of mass. It has fluid-like properties. This “fluid,” when it flows, have wave-like characteristics. It is not a disturbance in some other medium, which we associate with waves in the material domain.
EM substance is very different from the material substance, which is made up of atoms.
The electromagnetic substance has consistency (a degree of density, firmness, viscosity, etc.) and also a fluid-like continuity. The quantum aspect of this EM substance comes from its interaction with material substance. Such interaction involves a precise energy based on the consistency of the EM substance.
The consistency of EM substance gives it momentum and the interaction with matter gives its the quantum property. But this substance does not have the center of mass around which to generate spatial particles. The EM substance is, therefore, continuous in space.
The most confusion, therefore, comes from the use of the word “particle” in Particle Physics. These are particles based on discrete energy interactions that vary according to the consistency of the EM substance. They are not particles based on discreteness in space, which is a characteristic of material substance only.
NOTE: Electrons have the highest consistency in the EM spectrum. There is a threshold of consistency above which we have material substance. Nucleon’s consistency is about 1836 times the consistency of electrons. It qualifies as material substance. Mass is associated with material substance. It has the property of “having a center” that identifies it as a “point particle”. Electrons are not material (or point) particles. The apparent “mass” of the electrons is essentially the manifestation of its inertia. Inertia is a property of consistency and not just that of mass.
One of the largest roles in therapy is played by Emotion. If we treat emotion as bound up life force and if we follow these general precepts to release it, we shall obtain a very large gain in any person. To free these life force units is the primary task of therapy, to relieve pain from the facsimiles is the secondary task.
Hubbard theorizes that the release of painful emotion, as the release of life force, is of primary importance.
When the facsimile gets restimulated, it captures certain units of life force. When enthusiasm or impetus aligns the purpose of the individual toward a true survival goal he recaptures some of these units. But as life progresses more and more life force units out of an individual’s supply are captured and held in the “infected” part of the mental matrix.
A person is subject to a spiral of dwindling life force through the course of his life due to his facsimiles.
However, a facsimile can seemingly “assist” a person by gathering up the available life force and channeling it along basic purpose lines, making a high level of concentration of life force. The person then have a high drive and is successful to a point. Such a facsimile is pro-survival; but if the person overextends himself and fails, the facsimile turns against him. In a way he has disobeyed the command of the facsimile and having disobeyed, suffers pain.
A person may be boosted by a surge of life force due to a pro-survival facsimile, but, ultimately, it makes the person suffer.
The person is reluctant to let go of the pro-survival facsimile because he feels that it assists him even when it is not always aligned with his basic purpose. Here is an example of the computation based on such a facsimile, “I had some one taking care of me when I was ill. I need some one to take care of me. I must be ill.” Here is the basic pattern of the facsimile which will contain the chronic psycho-somatic illness in any patient.
A pro-survival facsimile containing sympathy insists that the individual be ill in order to survive.
In Dianetics, an ally is a person from whom sympathy came when the person was ill or injured. If the ally came to the person’s defense or his words and/or actions were aligned with the individual’s survival, the facsimile gives that ally the status of always being right. The ally computation is that one must be in the vicinity of such allies and be sick or generally disabled to feel safe.
Discharge of ally computations from a person’s facsimiles restores the most life force to the person.
The loss of the ally may be the trigger which will start chain fission. Hence, discharging these frozen units is a vital and important part of therapy and the condition of the case will improve in direct ratio to the number of these units so discharged.
Start with scouting the prenatal area for facsimiles. Take whatever is presented and take the charge out of it.
Scout your later life for whomever you may have depended upon (ally).
Find out when you lost an ally by death, departure or reversal of stand, and discharge the sorrow of loss out of those moments.
Always go as early as possible for the basic-basic. But go to later life to free up painful emotion due to loss of an ally.
If an incident does not reduce then go earlier similar.
Facsimile starts to become emotionless in tone means there is another ally computation.
Reduce everything you contact as a priority.
Any hold-up, any unwillingness, stems from ally computation.
Address the problem of demon circuits by releasing charges of sorrow.
Consider that loss by death, departure or reversal of stand by an ally is identical with a death of some part of you.
Later painful emotion facsimiles occlude the earlier unconsciousness and pain facsimiles.
The loss of an ally or pseudo-ally need contain no other physical pain or “unconsciousness” than the loss itself occasions. This is serious enough. It makes a facsimile. Any occlusion of a person means that he or she had a vast and unrevealed significance in a patient’s life which should be explained. Start late to get painful emotion and work back early. Start early to get physical pain facsimiles and work toward late
Occlusion is very likely related to allies and ally computation.
One of the various aspects of returning is that it encounters areas where the person is “outside” his body. It is exteriorization (having a detached view) because of emotion or physical pain. Painful emotion puts the compartments and demon-circuits into the mind, and that the physical pain holds the aberration in place. Rationalization about action or conduct or conditions is of no use beyond occasional aid in locating facsimiles. It should be clear that no amount of explanation or hand-patting or evaluation is going to advance the erasure of the facsimiles themselves.
This entire operation is mechanical. It has nothing to do with justified thought or shame or reasons.
The subject of Spirituality is actually the subject of Self.

There is a lot of meaning underlying each of the following. It is in a different language for many of you; but today we have Internet and Google, and the meaning can be researched, found and understood. It is simply beautiful.
Any and all phrases in a facsimile (unassimilated impression) can be considered similar to hypnotic commands. These phrases react on the mental matrix in a literal and forceful way so as to cause it to function erratically. Hubbard provides many examples of this phenomenon in this chapter. According to Hubbard, these phrases also divert the attention away from the facsimile making it difficult to access it.
The phrases from the facsimiles force themselves on a person like hypnotic commands.
When you ask the file clerk (your attention) to return to a facsimile, you can do so by subject or by somatic. You investigate an area of your life as early as possible. When a heavy facsimile is first approached in therapy it appears to be absent entirely. It may take several passes over the facsimile in returning for it to “develop.” A cardinal principle is that if you keep asking for the facsimile, you will eventually get it.
You return to as early as possible on your time track and keep asking for the facsimile.
When returned you react more to those phrases that are earlier, and to which you are nearest, on the time track. Phrases in chronic restimulation give a false color to your personality. You may also hear such phrases in the chatter in your head. They may appear very reasonable in the present context. You guess at the hypnotic phrase that might be affecting you. You go over that phrase repeatedly. Repetition of such a phrase, over and over, sucks you back down the track and into contact with a facsimile which contains it. This is the repeater technique.
You use the repeater technique with a probable hypnotic phrase to contact the facsimile.
When you are having difficulty returning, closely observe if one of the following phenomena are occurring:
(1) The bouncer sends your attention soaring back toward present time. Example: “I’ve got to stay away.”
(2) The holder keeps your attention right where it is. Example: “Stay here.”
(3) The denyer makes you feel that there is no incident present. Example: “This is getting nowhere.”
(4) The grouper, foreshortens your time track so that there is no time track. Example: “Everything comes in on me at once.”
(5) The misdirector reverses the necessary direction of travel. Example: “You’re turned around.”
You guess at the hypnotic phrase that might be operative. You think of that phrase repeatedly. Suddenly the somatic may turn on and the facsimile is contacted.
The phrases may be picked up in real time and used with repeater technique to help you return and contact the facsimile.
The facsimile is not a sentient, rationalized memory but a collection of unassimilated impressions. It will develop into contact simply by the process of returning through it, to it, over it or asking for it. You may even shift you attention short or long distances on the track by minutes or hours or days forward or backwards. This may help you find out if you are moving or which direction you are moving on the time track in order to discover the action some facsimile may be having upon you.
The mechanism of time-shift can be useful in finding out about your movement on the track.
You may ask for the moment of shock or the moment when a somatic was received. You may do so to contact the right facsimile. Once the facsimile is contacted, you go over the incident from the beginning to end. You recount the incident over and over again until every bit of the impressions is recovered. This process of becoming aware is the process of assimilation. If the assimilation does not seem to be complete you look for the facsimile of an earlier similar incident.
The repeater technique is continued until the facsimile is fully assimilated.
The repeater technique is used from facilitating the returning to contacting the facsimile to assimilating the facsimile. Cleverness is required in picking the right phrases from observing yourself objectively, just what the facsimile contains which will prevent you reaching them, and, finally, in discharging the facsimile. It requires thinking like the facsimile in real-time.
