FACTOR # 19. And the viewpoint can never perish; but the form can perish.
The narrow and subjective viewpoints are looking through filters of fixed ideas, prejudices and beliefs. By getting rid of these fixed ideas, prejudices and beliefs, these viewpoints can progress to be the universal viewpoint. Thus, a viewpoint can change and finally become objective.
For viewpoint to exist, there must be dimension points and their combination of forms. Like the viewpoint, these dimension points and their forms also change.
As long as there is a viewpoint, there has to be some dimension point and form. No viewpoint can exist without points to view.
KHTK FACTOR # 19: Neither the viewpoint, nor the dimension points with their forms, perish completely. But they change over a very wide range from universally objective to completely subjective.
.
“Subjectivity – objectivity” is a scale that extends to infinity in either direction. All viewpoints are somewhere on this scale. These viewpoints converge in the direction of objectivity and diverge in the direction of subjectivity.
The universal viewpoint is totally objective.

FACTOR # 18. It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these forms should endure. Thus there is survival.
From the universal viewpoint, there is simply evolution that is continuous, harmonious and consistent. From the human viewpoint, there are discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies that express themselves as the turbulence of life.
The human effort is to resolve the turbulence of life by restoring continuity, harmony and consistency of the universal viewpoint.
KHTK FACTOR # 18: The human viewpoint sees turbulence among these forms and it endeavors to settle it through prayer, meditation, art, and science. Thus there is evolution.
.
Prayer is the longing for freedom from turbulence. Meditation is an effort to let go of existing conditioning. Art is the search for new viewpoints that go beyond the mundane human existence. Science uses a more systematic approach to expand the human viewpoint.
Here we have evolution of the human thought.

FACTOR # 17. And the opinion of the viewpoint regulates the consideration of the forms, their stillness or their motion, and these considerations consist of assignment of beauty or ugliness to the forms and these considerations alone are art.
The laws of nature, as expressed through self-animation, regulate the forms and motion of dimension points. This self-animation is recognized through the objectivity of the universal viewpoint. The added opinions belong to the subjectivity of narrower viewpoints.
The real art is the nature itself. Narrower viewpoints simply add their subjective colorful considerations to it.
KHTK FACTOR # 17: The forms have evolved from minerals to plants to animals to humans. Therein lies the art, but human viewpoints simply add their colorful considerations of beauty and ugliness to it.
.
According to Hubbard, each individual creates his own universe. That is true only in the subjective sense. These individual universes are subjective universes. One can change, manipulate and control one’s universe only to the degree one can change, manipulate and control one’s considerations.
Under the individual universes lies the self-animated universe as perceived from the universal viewpoint. The universal objectivity is science. The individual subjectivity is art.

FACTOR # 16. The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms and the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.
The dimension points are seen as they are, only from the universal viewpoint. Here the nature of dimension points and the universal viewpoint is synonymous, which makes the dimension points change, combine and evolve in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. This may be described best as self-animation. This is the real motion.
But the viewpoints commonly encountered are less than universal. A subjective filter polarizes the dimension points and viewpoints making the dimension points appear external to viewpoints. The synonymity is lost and the changes, combinations and evolution are attempted through enforcement and control as there is mystery about their nature. There are misperceptions, misjudgments and departures from reality. This is unnatural motion.
KHTK FACTOR # 16: The dimension points combine into more complex forms that move in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. Their synonymity with the universal viewpoint makes it self-animation. But lesser viewpoints see it as a motion external to them.
.
We all have self-animation that we hardly ever think about, but that is the true motion. All other motion that we are trying to control is coming from the inability to have the universal viewpoint.

FACTOR # 15. The dimension point can be different from other dimension points and thus can possess an individual quality. And many dimension points can possess a similar quality, and others can possess a similar quality unto themselves. Thus comes about the quality of classes of matter.
This factor may be stated more simply as follows. The dimension points may be arranged in broad classes such as physical and metaphysical. They may be arranged further into sub-classes such as continuum and discrete, and still further into more sub-classes. If fact, every dichotomy provides two opposite classes, and a gradient of classes between them, and these dichotomies are also connected on a gradient.
In fact, there is an underlying continuity, harmony and consistency among all dimension points, and the dimension points may be indexed with each other forming an infinite matrix .
KHTK FACTOR # 15: All dimension points are unique in themselves, but there are similarities enough to arrange them into classes. At a finer level there is underlying continuity, harmony and consistency enough to arrange them into a finely connected matrix.
.
The universe may be seen as a fine matrix of infinite dimensions. Similarly, the mind may also be seen as such a matrix. In fact, a mind may be seen as a matrix embedded into the universal matrix.
