The Sensation

Reference: Subject Clearing Mind

The data which the mind operates on, first appears as sensations.

.

Definition of SENSATION

Sensations are produced when the universe impinges on the beingness. Sensation implies a beginning of implicit awareness, which then leads to explicit perception.

There are implicit mental sensations that result from the detection of the substance of thought, such as, feelings and emotions. Then there are explicit physical sensations that result from the detection of the substance of energy and matter, such as, touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell.

The implicit and explicit senses may combine into more complex sensations, such as that of gravity, orientation in space, body position, heat, cold, electrical, magnetic, hunger, satisfaction, pain, and pleasure.

.

Misconceptions

There may be confusion between implicit sensations and explicit perceptions. These will be listed here as they are encountered.

The Mental Matrix

Please see Postulate Mechanics

The Mental Matrix

The core of the Individual is a physical body, which is enveloped in a thinking mind. The current understanding of the mind is based on either the conscious/unconscious model of Freud; or on the analytical/reactive model of Hubbard. But none of these models explain what is happening in the mind.

We apply the mathematical notion of matrix to Beingness. The individual is a matrix of physical elements surrounded by a matrix of mental elements. Physical implies matter and energy; mental implies thought. We call physical matrix the body; and the mental matrix the mind. The mental elements may be referred to as “percels” (perceptual elements) because the mind produces perception by organizing these elements.

When the mind senses, it breaks those sensations into percels, and assimilates them into the mental matrix. The assimilation establishes continuity, consistency and harmony among the percels. The degree of assimilation determines the clarity of the perception generated.

All the information is present in the sensations, but it is not available until complete assimilation takes place. Lack of assimilation occurs when there are Fixations in the mind in the form of lack of differentiation. This affects the clarity of both the perception and the memories.

The fixation, or the lack of differentiation, manifests as aberrations in the functioning of body and mind. The individual, therefore, behaves erratically. Such aberrations are made up of the anomalies of discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), and disharmony (arbitrary data).

It is this fixation that makes the “observer” appear separate from the “observed.” In the absence of fixations the observer and observed simply reduce to an awareness of Oneness. The individual then operates in perfect coordination with other individuals.

.

Misconception

It is a misconception that all experiences are available from the mind like perfect recordings. The criterion for truth is the Oneness of what one is aware of.

.

More Misconceptions

You may discover more misconceptions on your own, if you contemplate on each sentence of the above definition with mindfulness. Please see:

Then, you may end up improving upon this definition too.

Good luck!

The Nirvana

Reference: Subject Clearing Beingness

The ultimate evolution of self is attaining the state of Nirvana and maintaining it.

.

Definition of NIRVANA

Nirvana is attained when all anomalies relating to self are resolved. In other words, the whole system of postulates, called self, is operating as one having continuity, consistency and harmony throughout. Such a self has its attention totally extroverted. Its attention is now on resolving anomalies in its environment on a universal scale.

This understanding is consistent with the traditional definition of Nirvana: ”the extinction of individual passion, hatred, and delusion… a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of individuality, and the subject is released from the effects of karma.”

The viewpoint in the state of Nirvana may be described as The Unattached Viewpoint . An UNATTACHED viewpoint is a viewpoint that itself does not have any anomalies but has the ability to view all possible anomalies in its environment without any distortion.

.

Misconceptions

1. It is a misconception to think that, in Nirvana, one merges with the rest of the universe and loses one’s self. Nirvana amounts to expanding the self and not losing it. This naturally brings about the sense of Oneness. Hubbard of Scientology misunderstood Buddhism and its goal of nirvana.

2. When Nirvana is referred to as the “blowing out” or “quenching” it does not mean the cessation of self. It means the cessation of all anomalies afflicting the self.

The Free Will

Reference: Subject Clearing Beingness

The free will is the ability to postulate sensibly. It is expressed as self-determinism.

.

Definition of FREE WILL

One can postulate freely, and that postulate shows up as one’s self-determinism. However, The whole system of one’s postulates must be consistent within itself, else it would not work as intended. The moment one is unable to postulate according to the principle of Oneness, one’s Free Will is compromised.

The free will requires the ability to be self-aware because one’s self is part of one’s system of postulates. The actual source of this system is, of course, unknowable, but we identify it as the self that is manifested. The new postulates expand the self. 

.

Misconceptions

1. It is a misconception to think that one’s free will allows one to postulate whatever one wants and it would work. This is not so unless one’s new postulate is continuous, consistent and harmonious with the existing postulates and the idea of self. This condition applies to the so-called “own universe.”

The Death

Reference: Subject Clearing Beingness

In death, the beingness ceases to be itself. It no longer functions as it is supposed to. 

.

Definition of DEATH

Death is a sudden change in beingness. For example, ice can be said to suffer death when it melts into water. When a living organism suffers death, it reduces to an inanimate system of organic substances that gradually disintegrate into more basic elements.

In humans, death occurs when its mind-body system ceases to be operational. However, the human self is so sophisticated that it takes time before it ceases completely. The body is capable of growing hair and nails for some time after death. The disembodied observer may also persist for some time.

The disembodied observer is called the soul, and it is said to survive the death of the body. But, upon death, the awareness of the soul, like that of the body, ceases gradually. The human self disintegrates, ultimately, into more basic elements.

The disintegrated elements—both organic molecules and the thought patterns—appear to get recycled in the formation of new beingnesses. There is a lot here that is yet to be discovered, but this explains the phenomena of genetic influences and “past life” memories.

.

Misconceptions

1. It is a misconception to think that body and mind get separated upon death. When death occurs, the mind-body system dies and disintegrates together as one. 

2. It is a misconception to think that the spirit exists separate from the body-mind system, and it leaves the body upon death. After a person dies, there is a dead mind-body system left that has its own spirit. 

3. It is a misconception to think that the soul does not cease after death but remains alive, and can make choices as to its future. This is a hypothesis only.

4. It is a misconception to think that this soul is the individual that is eternal. Again this is a hypothesis, which is being represented as a “fact.”

5. Death and birth are natural events that are necessary for the evolution of beingness. The events between death and birth are concerned with the reconfiguration of beingness based on the experiences of lifetimes. There are laws of nature that govern the activities of death, evolution and birth.
