The identity depends on how a beingness is perceived. Different identities exist when the beingness is not being perceived in its totality.
.
Definition of IDENTITY
Under the definition of spirit we see how religions assign the identity of ’soul’ to a deeper concept of ‘spirit’. An identity is how something is seen and identified. Such appreciation depends on the depth of assimilation of what is sensed.
Therefore, we may define identity as a perception resulting from partial assimilation. When we refer to a person by a name or a role, we are not perceiving the totality of the person. We are perceiving an identity only.
How a person perceives himself may also lead to identities. If he is unable to perceive the totality of himself he may just be looking at an identity. The totality of a person has been defined earlier as self.
.
Misconceptions
1. In Scientology, identity is differentiated from individuality, but individuality is just a type of identity. The basic beingness of humans is self, which is made up of the characteristic of awareness.
2. In Scientology, it is conceived that individuality is lost by merging with the physical universe. But the individuality is also an identity. The only way to get rid of all identities is to assimilate all knowledge one has, including the knowledge about the physical universe. All awareness must become “one.”
3. The notions of soul and thetan are identities. To not see them as identities is a misconception.

The Atom
Atom is the smallest particle of matter. On the surface matter appears to have a uniform consistency; but at the atomic level there appears a whole spectrum of consistency—from “extremely high” consistency of the neutrons to the “barely there” consistency of electromagnetic radiation. No matter how tightly the atoms are packed, there appears to be space between them, which is filled by electromagnetic radiation. The mass of matter is an average value.
The atom is made up of fluid-like fields. In general, the consistency of these fields seems to decrease with increasing distance from the center of the atom. At the center there is a very small field of very high consistency called “nucleus.” The consistency sharply drops to 1/1836 of its value to generate a large, surrounding electronic field. These fields are made of drops that dissolve at one place and form at another.
There are no particles in the atom, and there is no wave-particle duality. A particle implies a point-like center and a fixed identity that is moving. But the quantum “particles” are like drops that are dissolving and forming within a fluid-like field. It is a continuous medium that does not break up despite sharply varying consistencies.
The sharp drop in consistency between the nuclear and electronic fields seems to generate a high tension. This high tension is what forms the “charge” in the atom. All the “charge” of the nucleus is spread on its boundary. This is where the positively charged “protons” are formed. The uncharged “neutrons” are at the core of the nucleus.
This charge bounds the electrons in the electronic field to this inner boundary. This electronic field forms 99% of the atomic volume. The electrons formed much farther from the center and closer to the surface of the atom are relatively unbounded. They interface with an electromagnetic environment of inter-atomic space.
The atom is very dynamic. The fields within the atom are continually exchanging substance across their boundaries. A large variety of “quantum particles” get formed and dissolved continually in this process of exchange. Electromagnetic radiation is emitted and absorbed continually by the atom.
There are 118 different types of atoms; and there are millions of different combinations of these atoms that generate all the matter that there is.

NOTE: The subject of Physics treats these fundamental particles mathematically, and it does not provide a proper visualization for them. The effort on this blog is to provide a visualization that is consistent with what is known. It does not change the mathematics of Physics.
When some equilibrium is missing, there appears to be a tension or charge that needs to be smoothed out. The charge is felt as a burden or responsibility. It may point to the presence of some anomaly. It spurs one toward action.
.
Definition of CHARGE
In the subject of Physics, charge is related to the electrical phenomena. There is a potential difference between negative and positive charges that creates a tension. Like charges repel each other. Opposite charges attract each other.
An atom is like a vortex in which the substance is swirling and condensing toward the center. Near the center, the low consistency of electronic substance suddenly condenses into the high consistency of nuclear substance. It is like water crystallizing into ice. The fluid electrons suddenly “crystallize” into solid protons. Before the crystallization of electrons is the neutral electromagnetic radiation. After the crystallization into protons are the neutral neutrons.
Tension exists at the point of “crystallization.” This is charge. It is related to the consistencies just before and just after this “crystallization.” The negative charge is related to the consistency just before “crystallization.” The positive charge is related to the consistency just after “crystallization.”
Therefore, charge is the phenomenon of certain critical consistencies of substance.
.
Misconceptions
1. The Standard Model of Particle Physics is based on mathematics. It does not define its particles in realistic terms so they can be understood. It defines charge only as +1 and -1 of some electrical property. When defined as above, the concept of charge opens the door to further investigations.

In perceiving and reasoning, the data at every step must make sense. And that means all data should be ONE according to the principle of Oneness.
.
Definition of REASONING
Reasoning applies to thought in any situation. It is the natural process of putting the data of that situation together in such order that it is continuous, consistent and harmonious.
The ideal scene of the situation one is looking at, is the elements of that scene arranged according to the principle of Oneness. Any discontinuity, inconsistency, or disharmony will appear as an anomaly. The disharmony (arbitrary data) will be the first thing to come to notice. A closer look will reveal inconsistencies (contradictory data). And, a still closer look will reveal discontinuities (missing data).
As one follows these anomalies, they all converge to the basic anomaly that is the ultimate ‘why’ for the existence of the situation. The whole process of reasoning is to understand why a situation exists in the first place.
.
Misconceptions
1. It is a misconception to think that you already know why a situation exists and then approach with that assumption to handle the situation. If the why of the situation was already known, the situation should have been handled long ago.

Facsimiles or samskara’s corrupt one’s perception and the ability to reason. The remedy has been mindfulness since ancient times.
.
Definition of MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is a concept that was originally put forth by Buddha 2600 years ago. Buddha emphasized on seeing things as they are. He encouraged his disciples to question anything they were perplexed about regardless of how sacrosanct the subject was.
Mindfulness is basically the effort to separate perceptions from the corrupting influence of facsimiles. The facsimiles tend to corrupt perceptions by causing hallucinations which the person ends up justifying. Such justifications compromise the ability of the person to reason correctly.
By practicing mindfulness, the person is able to spot the justifications. He closely observes the environment and notices things that do not make sense. He then observes those things more closely. The person repeats this cycle until he is able to recognize the underlying facsimile and assimilates it fully.
.
Misconceptions
1. In mindfulness there is no magic involved other than looking at a scene more and more closely until all its aspects start to make sense. The person uses mindfulness exercises to develop his own judgement about how long to keep looking and in what direction. He learns to appreciate the subtle fluctuations in his understanding at any point in time. He knows when there are no more anomalies in an area.
2. Scientology auditing supposedly accomplishes the same thing, by selectively putting a person’s attention on different aspects of life. The drawback in Scientology approach is that the person’s understanding, and his sense of clarity, is continually judged by an auditor through his use of an e-meter. This continually undermines the person’s own judgement. He may be required to keep on going with a process, even after the process has accomplished its purpose.
