The L10 Overts by Dynamics R/D rundown addresses overts on each dynamic. Make sure you have completed the Basic L10 approach before you attempt this rundown.

1. The prepared lists below outline intentions and behavior by dynamics.
2. Assess these lists for the dynamics in descending order, starting from Dynamic 8.
   1. Go down the list of items for the dynamic.
   2. Stop at the item that you feel you have some charge on.
   3. Look at that item per The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness. Make sure you understand it.
   4. Get the earliest instance of when that overt was committed. It will produce relief.
   5. Continue going down the list this way till the end.
3. Finish assessing the lists for each dynamic this way.

Please view these listed overts as opportunity to discover more overts of your own on each dynamic. As you resolve the considerations underlying these overts, it will strengthen and broaden your viewpoint.

Rising-Scale Processing

Please see the original section at the link above.

.

Summary

Rising-scale processing may be done by yourself per the following steps.

(1) Get familiar with the Chart of Attitudes. Start with Column 1 (“Survives-Dead”). Study the various attitudes listed in this column.

(2) Recognize the attitude you have most of the time without thinking. Contemplate on this attitude. Become aware of your actual attitude in various situations. Do this until you are sure this has been your attitude.

(3) Look at the next attitude above it and. See how much your present attitude differs from it. Spot the experiences and reasoning that are preventing you from having this attitude. Do this until you feel you have this attitude now.

(4) Repeat step 3 with the next higher attitude. Do so until you find the highest attitude that you can have comfortably.

(5) Remember that upper line describes the attitude that is a natural part of your beingness. Keep spotting the experiences and reasoning that may have moved you away from it.

(6) Now repeat the above steps for Columns 2 to 12. Do this in 20 minute sessions. Let it take as many sessions as it may.

Comments

Rising-scale processing helps you recover your original postulates that are naturally a part of your self, or beingness.

Reference: The Book of Scientology

Hubbard postulates space as “viewpoint of dimension.” But space is more like “dimension of substance.” In that sense, the void is the dimension of “nothing” which is a thought. Thought is not recognized as a substance, but thought is a substance. 

Viewpoint is the awareness of MEST. Viewpoint is theta, and space is MEST. Therefore, viewpoint cannot be space. The idea of MEST is essentially substance (matter and energy). The dimension of substance is space. The duration of substance is time.

Matter and energy are obviously different categories of substance. But thought is a category of substance too, because substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed. 

So, space is the “dimension of substance.” Space cannot be visualized in the absence of thought, energy and matter. Abstract, or mathematical idea of space is actually thought-space. It is the space occupied by thought. Similarly, we have energy-space, which is space occupied by energy; and matter-space, which is space occupied by matter. Matter is actually floating in the energy-space, and energy is floating in the thought-space. 

When Hubbard says, “Space is creatable by a thetan,” he is assuming a permanent individuality, called thetan. But thetan, or individuality, is a continually changing construct. We do have creation because we postulate; for example, the theory of relativity is based on the postulate that the speed of light is a universal constant. To postulate space one must postulate some thought. Such postulating of thought is the first condition necessary to action. 

Hubbard says, “Space can be considered to be the equivalent in experience of beingness.” But “being” is basically being aware; and when we consider beingness, it is looking at some postulates. Processing is basically straightening out beingness whose dimensions are defined by postulates.

Hubbard is critical of physics not having a good definition of space. This is because physics ignores “thought” as a category of substance. Hubbard does consider “thought,” but he does not clearly differentiate among thought as substance, thought-space and awareness.

Hubbard defines “dimension points” as points in space. Point is essentially a coordinate value of a dimension. The coordinate values are numbers representing length, width and height of substance. The idea of substance adds the coordinate of consistency (a degree of density, firmness, viscosity, etc.). These dimension points can change giving an illusion of motion. Similarly, viewpoint or awareness can change giving an illusion of motion.

Hubbard defines “anchor points” as points at the outermost boundaries of the space. A boundary implies a form carved out of substance. These anchor points refer to the “constraints” that define the boundaries.

Hubbard says, “A material of the universe can not exist in any universe without something in which to exist. The something in which it exists is space.” The container of space has to be made of postulated thought. The space is integral to thought as thought-space.

Substance is not something theoretical. It is defined by it being experienced. Thought, energy and matter are the categories of substance. Space is experienced only as the dimension of substance.

Hubbard says, “Space can be made coincidentally with any other space.” This can only mean that two different dimensions can be made to coincide. He then says, “Space is creatable or uncreatable by a viewpoint.” That means these dimensions are postulated. Hubbard seems to think that a person can postulate anything, regardless of it being inconsistent with other postulates.

And that anomaly is very fundamental to Scientology.

.

Summary

The fact of “Being” is basically being aware. When the “being”  is considering beingness, he is basically looking at his postulates.

The basic criticism of Hubbard is that he does not clearly differentiate among substance, space and viewpoint. Substance is thought, energy and matter. Space is the dimension of substance. And, viewpoint is awareness. Substance and space are part of MEST. But viewpoint is theta.

Hubbard talks about creation and uncreation, but that is just the activity of making postulates. Hubbard thinks that one can postulate anything arbitrarily. But postulates must not violate the principle of Oneness (continuity, consistency, harmony). Two contradictory ideas can not be both true, just like two particles of matter can not occupy the same place.
