FACTOR # 30. And above these things there might be speculation only. And below these things there is the playing of the game. But these things which are written here Man can experience and know. And some may care to teach these things and some may care to use them to assist those in distress and some may desire to employ them to make individuals and organizations more able and so give to Earth a culture of which we can be proud.

In these Factors, Hubbard focuses on those things that, according to him, can be experienced and known. He, however, had only a nodding acquaintance with Vedas and Buddhism. He ended up disparaging the goal of Nirvana in Buddhism, which is very surprising to me.

Hubbard seem to be addressing the human condition just as Buddha did. But it seems that Hubbard did not understand the research done by Buddha. He gave in to some of his own subjectivity.

But Hubbard has expressed many fundamental ideas in these Factors that are valuable. In my opinion, they simply need to be aligned with the fundamental research in Vedas and Buddhism. I have attempted to do this in my proposed revision of Factors.

KHTK FACTOR # 30: This revision of Hubbard’s pioneering work is an attempt to make it consistent with the fundamentals of Vedas and Buddha’s work. Let’s hope that it inspires new powerful techniques for the resolution of the human condition.

We all wish to alleviate the human condition. Evidently, looking at the continued natural evolution of this universe, the resolution of this human condition is inevitable.

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 # 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.
