Substance of Space

Please see Course on Subject Clearing

To me, the Scientific Method, as applied to metaphysics, would be

(1) Looking at an inconsistency.

(2) Then discovering a more fundamental consistency.

That is what Einstein did, which resulted in the Theory of Relativity. But that work is not complete yet. The established fact is that the speed of light in space is constant. However, this gives rise to an inconsistency when we think of space as not being a medium. Space must have certain properties to constrain the speed of light to a constant value.

The old concept of ether was rejected by scientists, but that concept has emerged again in the form of Higgs field recently. There are also the ideas of invisible dark energy and dark matter. All this points to space having some kind of fabric.

After Einstein, we see electromagnetic radiation as a substance different from matter, to which Maxwell’s equations apply that are different from Newton’s laws of motion.

A time has come to see space as a substance different from both electromagnetic radiation and matter, to which a still new sets of laws apply. We may call this substance “gravitational radiation.”

Handling Deep-seated Regrets

regrets

This KHTK process may help a person handle feelings of deep-seated regret. Look at each question below per the 12 Steps of Mindfulness. If the mind brings up something then look at it more closely. If nothing comes up then skip that question.

A) Do you have a regret about having done (or not done) something?
B) What situation were you trying to resolve at that moment?
C) Is there something that is difficult to look at?
D) How would you resolve that situation now?

This process may be done while sitting on a chair with back straight, or while walking at a comfortable pace. The eyes may be open or closed.

I did this process while walking on a treadmill with eyes closed. It seems that walking provides additional energy that helps execute this process faster. I successfully handled several items that I had regrets about. I no longer have anything suppressed in relation to those items. I understand the situations I was trying to resolve. I now have a much better understanding of myself.

This process may be done again later even when nothing came up on the first few attempts.

.

The above process is derived from the following ‘Power Process #1’ of Scientology:

a) What overt have you committed?
b) What problem were you trying to solve?
c) What haven’t you said?
d) What problem were you trying to solve?

The Scientology process requires an auditor and an e-meter. The KHTK process, on the other hand, can be done by oneself under the discipline provided by the 12 Steps of Mindfulness.

“CONDITIONS” – A Scientology Power Process

Depression

The word CONDITION comes from Latin condiciōn– agreement. It has the following definitions.

1. A particular mode of being of a person or thing; existing state; situation with respect to circumstances.
2. State of health: He was reported to be in critical condition.
3. Fit or requisite state: to be out of condition; to be in no condition to run.
4. Social position: in a lowly condition.
5. A restricting, limiting, or modifying circumstance: It can happen only under certain conditions.
6. A circumstance indispensable to some result; prerequisite; that on which something else is contingent: conditions of acceptance.
7. Usually, conditions. Existing circumstances: poor living conditions.
8. Something demanded as an essential part of an agreement; provision; stipulation: He accepted on one condition.

In Scientology, CONDITION is defined as,

1. “Anything called for as a requirement before the performance, completion, or effectiveness of something else; provision; stipulation.”
2. “Anything essential to the existence or occurrence of something else; anything that modifies or restricts the nature, existence, or occurrence of something else; external circumstances or factors.”
3. “Manner or state of being.”
4. “Proper or healthy state.”

.

Conditions Process Commands are:

1. Tell me an existing condition.
2. Tell me how you handled it.

“Condition” means an existing state that is right there and visible. It could be unacceptable to the person, and therefore suppressed, but it is usually where the attention is. The Conditions Process addresses such conditions where a person’s attention is fixed. One looks at the condition at “the top of the mental stack” per Mindfulness 6 to let the mind unstack itself naturally.

The condition of body and mind seem to go hand in hand. A painful condition of the body may be accompanied by mental anxiety. The practice of proper nutrition and exercise may help bring about mindful contemplation.

While there are many concerns that have to be unstacked first, in actual fact there is only ONE that has been there for a long time with other concerns piling up on it. One looks at the condition more closely and also at the attitude one has about it. He looks at all the actions he has taken with respect to it. One experiences non-judgmentally the feelings, emotions and efforts that the mind brings up. If there is an engram it will show up.

A person commonly unstacks intense feelings and emotions before finally gaining the complete understanding for his condition. The appearance of intense emotions is a sign that one is approaching the final stages of the process. But one does not deviate from contemplating on the two directives of the process above.

When the person finally gains the realization about his condition, a quick review of the session from beginning to end gets him into present time. It is essential that all questions, confusions and doubts about one’s existing condition are fully settled.

An unwanted condition is the sum total of all logical associations, or the lack of them, not yet realized.

“EXISTENCE” – A Scientology Power Process

existence

The word EXISTENCE comes from Latin Latin ex(s)istere,  to  appear or emerge. It has the following definitions.

  1. The state or fact of existing; being.
  2. Continuance in being or life; life: a struggle for existence.
  3. Mode of existing: They were working for a better existence.
  4. All that exists: Existence shows a universal order.
  5. Something that exists; entity; being.

In Scientology, EXISTENCE is defined as,

  1. “An existing state or fact of being; life; living; continuance of being; and occurrence; specific manifestation.”
  2. “Apparency, reality, livingness.”

.

Existence is generally thought of in terms of physical manifestations (matter, energy, space and time). But there are mental manifestation also, such as, thoughts, ideas, assumptions, expectations, suppositions, conjectures, speculations, emotions, feelings, sensations, etc. These may be grouped under the word CONSIDERATION.

These are mental objects. They can be perceived. Anything that can be perceived is part of existence.

Existence is made up of matter, energy, space, time and considerations.

.

In this Scientology Power Processes, one contemplates upon the following two questions:

  1. What is?
  2. What isn’t?

It is interesting to note that both ‘what-is’ and ‘what-isn’t’ are considerations. All considerations exist in the present moment. They simply have the labels ‘past’, ‘present’, ‘future’, ‘there’ or ‘not there’ attached to them.

The earlier power process on “source” prepared a person to observe logical associations among considerations. There is a logical association between something and its source; but that does not mean that all things must necessarily have a source. If that were the case then we would end up with an endless chain. It is quite possible that something may not have a source, reason or cause.

.

The current process allows a person to observe that there may be something, or simply nothing. Thus, it is possible that there is no answer to a question, or no source to a manifestation.

Normally, when a person expects something to be there, he puts it there. This is how “dub-in” comes about. The person is asked a question. Nothing comes up in his mind. But he feels that he must give an answer. So he puts something there. This is “dub-in.”

If the mind does not bring up something in response to a question, then it is safe to say that there is no response. If the mind cannot see source of a manifestation then it is safe to say that there is no source.

The contemplation per this process gives a person the opportunity to reexamine the associations among one’s considerations to determine if they are logical or simply dub-ins. Any pretense, which a person may be engaged in, clears up with this process.

When something is dubbed-in, it exists and it influences one’s life.
