FACTOR # 29. In the opinion of the viewpoint, any beingness, any thing, is better than no thing, any effect is better than no effect, any universe better than no universe, any particle better than no particle, but the particle of admiration is best of all.

The viewpoint represents the beingness. The beingness is essentially the evolving configuration of dimension points. From completely objective viewpoint no difference is seen between the beingness, as observer, and the dimension points that are being observed.

As the viewpoint narrows toward subjectivity, the dimension points are increasingly replaced by opinions. The beingness of opinions, as observer, then appears separate from the dimension points that are being observed.

The opinions are always something about something. For opinion to be there, it cannot be about nothing. Hence, there is always some beingness as cause, effect, universe, etc. But among all these the most favored is admiration, because admiration is the effort to appreciate dimension points as they are.

KHTK FACTOR # 29: For the viewpoint to be there, beingness must also be there. Thus, there must always be some cause, effect, universe, etc. The most favored of these is admiration, which is the appreciation of things as they are.

.

True admiration of things arises from the objectivity of viewpoint. This is favored instinctively as it bring about clarity.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 28 (old)

Project: A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

This paper presents Factor # 28 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 # 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.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 27 (old)

FACTOR # 27. There is beingness, but Man believes there is only becomingness.

We find Man in a state in which he is identifying himself with his subjective viewpoint. In other words, he entertains fixed ideas, prejudices and beliefs, and he is fixated on his view of things. Salvation lies in letting go of such fixations and arriving at the objectivity of the universal viewpoint.

But it is very hard to let go of such fixations in the absence of better clarity of view. It is a Catch-22. It requires wide study of life and the scriptures of your religion and that of other religions too; and resolving all contradictions, doubts and perplexities thus found.

KHTK FACTOR # 27: The ultimate beingness is attained by moving beyond the subjective viewpoint attached to the human body and arriving at the objectivity of the universal viewpoint.

.

It is important to experience life and become aware of all its anomalies (inconsistencies, disharmonies and discontinuities). To resolve such anomalies, one may study not only the scriptures of one’s own religion but of all religions in the world.

Most important is to resolve for oneself the doubts, perplexities and confusions that one comes across.

SCN 8-8008: FACTOR # 26 (old)

Project: A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

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.

The World of Atom (Part IV)

Reference: Boorse 1966: The World of Atom

PART IV – NEW CONFIRMATION OF CHEMICAL ATOMIC THEORY

THE WORLD OF ATOM by Boorse

Chapter 19: Polyatomic Molecules (Stanislao Cannizzaro 1826 – 1910)

Cannizzaro adopted a molecular, i.e., polyatomic, view of the elements, and showed that the atomic weights of elements, prepared in volatile compounds, could be deduced by the application of Avogadro’s hypothesis together with accurate combining weight data and vapor densities. Cannizzaro’s great contribution was that “the different quantities of the same element contained in different molecules are all whole multiples of one and the same quantity, which always being entire, has the right to be called an atom.”

Chapter 20: The Periodic Table of the Elements (Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev 1834 – 1907)

Mendeleev discovered that the properties of the elements are related to their atomic weights in a periodic manner. This not only settled their atomic weights but also predicted previously unknown elements. It also provided the recognition of true relations of different groups of elements to one another, e. g., valency. The elements most widely distributed in nature have small atomic weights, and all such elements are distinguished by their characteristic behavior. They are thus typical, and the lightest element, hydrogen, is therefore rightly chosen as the typical unit of mass.

.

MAIN POINTS

  1. Molecules of elements are polyatomic.
  2. The different quantities of the same element contained in different molecules are all whole multiples of one and the same quantity.
  3. This minimum quantity, always being entire, has the right to be called the atomic weight of the element.
  4. The properties of the elements are related to their atomic weights in a periodic manner.
  5. Different groups of elements are related in terms of their valences.
  6. The elements most widely distributed in nature have small atomic weights.
  7. The lightest element, hydrogen, is rightly chosen as the typical unit of mass.

THEORY
Atoms have atomic weights that are multiples of a basic quantity. The properties of the elements are related to their atomic weights in a periodic manner. Therefore, the atoms have a definite internal structure.
