The Perception (Memory, Imagination, Hallucination)

Please see Postulate Mechanics.

The assimilation of sensation brings about perception. Lack of assimilation causes a corruption of perception, or simply no perception but with discomfort, anxiety and some imagination.

Definition of PERCEPTION

Perception is the instant interpretation by the mind of what is sensed by the sense organs. The elements of such sensations collect in the mental matrix and may be used again. 

These elements may be recombined and recalled, in which case they are perceived as MEMORY. 

These elements may be combined knowingly and creatively for some purpose, in which case they are perceived as IMAGINATION.

These elements may combine themselves in unexpected ways in response to stimuli, in which case they are perceived as HALLUCINATION.

We normally perceive what is there mixed with some memory, imagination and hallucination.

.

Misconceptions

In the absence of the concepts of perceptual elements and mental matrix, many phenomena related to the mind are difficult to understand. For example, personal anomalies are perceived when one becomes aware of discontinuities, inconsistencies and disharmonies among the elements of the mental matrix.

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:

The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness

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.”
