Hubbard, Scientology and Total Freedom

Ron1

When we look at Hubbard we find that he was in a pretty bad condition. He was unable to handle himself, yet he didn’t want to listen to anybody and insisted on handling himself. He always resisted going to doctors and pretty much self-medicated himself.

Hubbard was very afraid of death. He was consumed by a fear of pain. His attention revolved around his body and himself. That is a condition of self, which has acquired a lot of inertia. Inertia is a resistance to change in motion. Inertia wants to maintain the status quo in terms of motion.

A self, which has acquired inertia, is fixated on itself.

A change relative to others is not really a change because others may be changing and not you. If something is really changing then it is changing relative to itself.

A real change is always relative to oneself.

However, a change relative to oneself can occur only as long as there is some resistance to overcome. When there is no resistance or inertia, no further change is possible.

An inertialess state has gone through all possible changes and no further change is possible. A self in this state is then completely free.

It may be said that beingness with no resistance or inertia is completely free.

Scientology is very secretive. It reacts very sharply to any criticism and takes heavy handed actions to suppress it. It does not openly discuss its policies and activities. It heavily resists being examined. Since Scientology is heavily resisting any change, it has high inertia.

It may be said that the beingness of Scientology has a high level of inertia, and it is not free.

Therefore, Scientology is trapped within its own framework. Hubbard formulated his view of life, and made it unalterable within Scientology. He even decried any change in it outside Scientology as squirreling. This dampened any sense of freedom in relation to Scientology as one could not speak freely.

In Scientology one cannot speak freely. Scientology also makes it difficult to speak about it freely anywhere.

One must define ultimate freedom to understand what “being trapped” means. This article defines unltimate freedom  as no inertia or resistance to change. But Scientology defines ultimate freedom as the ability to control matter, energy, space and time.

In Scientology, “total freedom” is the freedom to exercise one’s will completely. 

But, this thing called “will” in Scientology is an intention, which is fixated on overcoming any and all opposition expressed in terms of matter, energy, space and time. This is the fixation on achieving the state of an OT. Any fixation produces inertia. An OT is Scientology is a beingness with a high level of inertia. We may call this inertia ego.

The trap in Scientology is a pumped up ego.

Life and Death

Image1
Reference: What is Awareness, Scientifically?

Life is made up of motion and awareness. Inherent consciousness arises when there is a change in motion and awareness. Such consciousness cannot be separated from changes in motion and the manifestation of inertia.

Atoms consist of configurations of changing motion and awareness, which is accompanied by inertia and consciousness. The periodic table expresses these configurations in a series of properties. Simple configurations express themselves as simple properties. Complex configurations, as in biological make up, express themselves as complex properties identified as life.

Human consciousness, or animation, is not the benchmark for life.

The benchmark for life is “a configuration of changing motion and awareness that is accompanied by inertia and consciousness.”

As atoms combine into complex macro molecules, the complexity of motion becomes capable of programmable instructions, such as, in DNA. This becomes the basis of life.

It is an error to think in terms of “life produces matter,” or “matter produces life.” A more accurate statement is,

Motion and awareness accompany each other and as they form into complex configurations, life and matter are generated.

Death is the disintegration of such configurations. Therefore both the body and the soul disintegrate at death. Neither the body nor the soul can exist independent of each other because their configurations go together.

As body disintegrates, the soul disintegrates too. The soul cannot survive the death of the body.

At birth, complex configuration of motion and awareness come together to produce a new body and a new soul. Certain configurations repeat. Thus we have continuation of forms and characteristics as species. There can even be continuation of certain personality traits and memory.

There may be the illusion of an identity moving from one body to another, but there is no permanent soul.

If there is any life after death, it is the motion and awareness of very fundamental kind as expressed in the properties of electromagnetism, atoms and molecules, which are yet to be known fully.

Assists

assist1

Reference: The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness

The purpose of assist is to orient a person who is in pain or confusion, or who has just been through a shock.

When he is in pain you do a “touch” assist.

When he is in confusion you do a “locational” assist.

When he has just been through a shock you do a “contact” assist. One can get into mental contact with a recent trauma.

These assists are described in Scientology materials. The assists are done only for a short period just to orient the person. They are not to be done for a long, long time.

Assists are a quick action.

Uniform Motion, Velocity & Inertia

This artist's animation shows a celestial body about the size of our moon slamming at great speed into a body the size of Mercury.

How do we measure the uniform motion of an object? Do we measure it by its velocity, or do we measure it by its inertia?

When we try to assess the magnitude of the uniform motion by the velocity of the object we immediately run into inconsistency. We find that the velocity is different in different frames of reference and therefore, relative.

However, when we try to change the uniform motion we experience a resistance that is always the same. No matter what the velocity of the object is, the same amount of change in velocity encounters the same resistance. This is called inertia. It seems to be absolute for an object.

The magnitude of the motion of an object may be assessed in an absolute sense by its inertia.

The inherent measure of motion comes from inertia because it is activated the moment change is attempted. It is different for different objects, but it is always constant for an object. It does not matter how slow, or how fast, that object is moving with respect to some external point. Inertia is a tendency of the motion to maintain itself, which is constant for an object.

Inertia is the measure of the constant state of an object in space-time.

The greater is the inertia the more difficult it is to change the state of the object through interacting with it. The state of a truck is more difficult to change than the state of a football. That means a truck has greater inertia than a football. The greatest inertia may be registered for black holes.

Similarly, the smaller is the inertia the easier it is to change the state of motion through ineracting with it. We may go beyond objects to consider the state of electromagnetic radiation. This inertia in this case will be the tendency of the frequency to maintain itself. It will appear as resistance to change in frequency, which would be quite small.

Inertia is the measure of the constant state of electromagnetic phenomena in space-time.

This is a different look at motion. We seem to think of motion as movement relative to external reference points. As long as this movement is uniform, it is constant for that object. That constant is the inertia of the object. It does not vary with frame of reference.

The inherent state of motion of something is expressed by its inertia rather than velocity.

The sense of motion, or inertia, is then best expressed as acceleration and gravity. Here are some thoughts about inertia.

  1. Inertia is a state of motion that preserves itself. It is manifested as resistance only to restore the state of motion. Infinite inertia is the state that cannot be changed. Zero inertia is a state that is always changing.

  2. The universe as a whole appears to be changeless in terms of its total energy and momentum. Therefore, we may postulate that the state of the universe is infinitely persistent.  In other words, the inertia of the universe is infinite.

  3. The state of motion, or inertia, may then be measured in an absolute sense using the universe as the reference.

  4. Inertia may be expressed as the mass of a particle, or frequency of a wave. A particle maintains it mass, and the wave propagates at a constant frequency.

  5. The state of motion, or inertia, of an atom consists of both mass in nucleus and frequency in shells around the nucleus. Mass exerts much greater resistance to change than frequency.

  6. A scale of inertia may be visualized from zero inertia or infinitely changeable state of SPACE, to infinite inertia or changeless state of UNIVERSE as a whole.

Contemplative Walking with iPhone

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Reference: Walking and Mindfulness

Voice Memos application on iPhone is a wonderful aid during contemplative walking. Ideas may be stored one after another as they crystallize at different points during the walk. They may then be played back together later, which may lead to insights.

Pre-requisite: Familiarize yourself with the Voice Memos application on iPhone. You may learn this application intuitively during the walk.

  1. Start your voice memo by noting where your attention has been dwelling lately. If there are a few things crowding your mind, then list those things one by one.

  2. Pause and playback the voice memo as necessary and select something you would like to contemplate on.

  3. You may then record a thought, then pause as you contemplate. You may continue to record your thoughts and pause as you contemplate.

  4. Let your mind associate data freely per Mindfulness 9: Associate Data freely.

  5. Playback the whole recording,  or part of it, often to keep your contemplation on track.

  6. Note the inconsistencies that show up during your contemplation.

  7. Follow them up per Mindfulness 11: Contemplate thoughtfully.

  8. Put all your thoughts in one recording with the aid of Voice memos. You may then listen to the recording at your leisure after the walk.

It is really amazing to hear all your contemplative thoughts on a subject one after another in a string. This leads to insights more often than not. Try it out.
