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.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 14 (old)

FACTOR # 14. Many dimension points combine into larger gases, fluids or solids. Thus there is matter. But the most valued point is admiration, and admiration is so strong its absence alone permits persistence.

Evolution occurs as dimension points combine into more complex forms. The continuum of electromagnetic substance condenses into the solid core of the atom. Different amount of condensation produces different elements. The elements combine into molecules of different types. The elements and molecules condense into gaseous, liquid and solid forms of matter.

The matter has properties that come from its internal structure. This internal structure is dynamic. It ultimately produces animation of the forms. Both structure and animation among all dimension points are continuous, harmonious and consistent at a fundamental level. So, we have emergence of reactions. There are myriads of such connections and reactions.

Thus, come about sequences of reactions and a system to manage them. So, we have emergence of thought. And this thought becomes increasingly complex as the forms become complex. This gives birth to the mind. As the evolution throughout is continuous, harmonious and consistent, the function of the mind becomes to maintain this continuity, harmony and consistency for subsequent evolution.

But this function of the mind requires viewing things as they are, and to recognize their continuity, harmony and consistency. We may call this admiration. Absence of this admiration alters the perception of what is there and makes the altered illusion persist.

KHTK FACTOR # 14: The dimension points combine to generate more complex forms. But these forms are pure to the degree they are viewed as they are. This is admiration. Lack of admiration results in persistence of impurity.

.

This factor is about evolution. The dimension points evolve in a continuous, harmonious and consistent fashion. Admiration involves the awareness of the evolution in its purity. Impurity comes about when the continuity, harmony and consistency of this evolution is not perceived by the mind. This then interrupts the flow of evolution.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 13 (old)

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.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 12 (old)

FACTOR # 12. The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for the viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration, possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes about all the fundamentals there are to motion.

As the viewpoint moves dimension points around, it basically rearranges its opinion. As it changes its perspective of dimension points, there appears to be motion, but the dimension points do not really change.

The real motion comes about when dimension points evolve and with it the viewpoint also evolves objectively. Such evolution maintains continuity, harmony and consistency of viewpoint in equilibrium with its dimension points.

Different viewpoints can be in equilibrium with their own sets of dimension points. But they can still be subjective if they are not in equilibrium with each other. And this requires further expansion of the viewpoints toward the universal viewpoint.

KHTK FACTOR # 12: The viewpoints can rearrange their opinions, or change their whole perspective of looking at dimension points. This brings about motion. But the real motion comes about as the viewpoint evolves objectively toward the universal viewpoint.

.

An individual may resolve all doubts, perplexities and confusions within himself and thus feel enlightened. This may be accomplished by all individuals. But if there still are discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies among individuals, then the ultimate enlightenment is yet to be attained.

That was Buddha’s effort after attaining his personal enlightenment. It is a tall order. Was Buddha successful in this effort? Is that effort going on still?

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 11 (old)

Project: A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

This paper presents Factor # 11 from the book SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008 by L. RON HUBBARD. The contents are from the original publication of this book by The Church of Scientology (1952).

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.
