Here is a detailed review of Factors # 16 to 18 from the book Scientology 8-8008.

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 elements combine by the free association of their natural properties to form complex compounds. In other words simple dimension points combine to form more complex dimension points. This happens by free association. No other agent, other than the natural properties, is involved.

The viewpoints are represented by the simple and complex identities of these elements and compounds. These identities are made up of the characteristic properties of elements and compounds.

The molecules of complex organic compounds, such as, the DNA molecule, act as molecular computers because they have enough electrons enveloping their nuclei to produce sequenced motion. This introduces self-animation to the identity of DNA molecules. Here we have the beginning of life as we see it.

Factor # 16 (revised): As dimension point evolves into complex forms, the viewpoint evolves into complex properties that bring about self-animation.

.

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.

Thus, evolution takes place from inanimate minerals to active plant life to animated animal life. The physical form and metaphysical essence develops accordingly and it reaches its pinnacle in the human identity. Art lies in the stillness or motion of these forms in infinite ways. It is the continuity and harmony of the motion involved that determines the beauty of forms.

Factor # 17 (revised): And evolution takes place from inanimate minerals to active plant life to animated animal life. Art studies their stillness or motion. Beauty lies in the continuity and harmony of their movement.

.

Factor # 18: It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these forms should endure. Thus there is survival.

The “opinion of the viewpoints” is actually the alignment of the form, according to their properties within the system of forms. It is the configuration of the forms, despite all complexity, and the continuity and harmony of their properties, which determines their endurance. The whole system of forms survives as one universe.

Factor # 18 (revised): It is the alignment and adjustment of the forms to the continuity and harmony of the whole system that determines their survival.

Here is a detailed review of Factors # 12 from the book Scientology 8-8008.

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.

The creative ability, consideration, volition and potential independence of action are expressions of cause and effect inherent present in the overall consciousness and also in the narrower viewpoints. Just like cause and effect, the viewpoints and dimension points also come about in pairs. Neither exists without the other.

Viewpoints and dimension point occur in pairs with one-on-one correspondence.

The viewpoints are narrow because they are limiting their frame of reference to their respective dimension points. Individual dimension points are a small part of the universal context. This is the case by default. It does not have to be this way. A viewpoint may become enlarged as it starts to include other dimension points in its context.

Here we have the real meaning of exteriorization as it involves broadening of the viewpoint. This is done as follows.

• Broaden the context by including other dimension points.
• Broaden the viewpoint by resolving resulting inconsistencies.

Scientology talks about agreement among viewpoints. Such agreement does not broaden the viewpoints because making agreement is more like compromising. True broadening comes from completely resolving what viewpoints see as inconsistent. As viewpoints broaden they come closer to each other.

Viewpoints broaden as the inconsistencies of larger context are resolved.

Inconsistencies come about because viewpoints have fixed attention on their respective dimension points even when those dimension points are now part of a larger context. One looks at the areas of fixed attention more closely. One then resolves inconsistencies in those areas by free association and creative visualization to fill gaps.

Inconsistencies are resolved by resolving fixed attention.

Viewpoints become more objective with the broadening of context.  As the context broadens to the size of the whole universe, the viewpoint broadens to become whole consciousness. This is ultimate objectivity.

Ultimate objectivity is viewing in universal context with no unresolved inconsistencies.

Therefore, we may revise Factor 12 as follows.

FACTOR # 12: The objective viewpoint of consciousness may be restored by letting narrow subjective viewpoints consider all forms in a universal context and resolve any resulting inconsistencies.

Here is a detailed review of Factors # 6 to 10 from the book Scientology 8-8008.

FACTOR # 6: The action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing.

The dimension point is the outer form of beingness. It begins as space. As space is disturbed it breaks into electrical and magnetic fields. The interchange between electrical and magnetic fields propagates the disturbance as light.

FACTOR # 6 (revised): The dimension point evolves from space into interchanging electrical and magnetic fields.

.

FACTOR # 7: And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are made. Thus there is communication.

The viewpoint is the inner essence of beingness. It begins as awareness. As awareness is disturbed it breaks into experiencing and associating, which brings about consciousness.

FACTOR # 7 (revised): The viewpoint evolves from awareness into experiencing and associating.

.

FACTOR # 8: And thus there is light.

Thus disturbance evolves into light and consciousness.

FACTOR # 8 (revised): Thus there is light and consciousness.

.

FACTOR # 9: And thus there is energy.

Light and consciousness provide the energy for further activities.

FACTOR # 9 (revised): Thus there is energy leading to activity.

.

FACTOR # 10: And thus there is life.

As activities build up we have life. Every bit of existence is life. It is not just the animation that we see. It is also the animation within the atom.

FACTOR # 10 (revised): Thus there are activities of life.
