KHTK Factor # 25: Death is a switching of physical beingness.

The beingness is changing all the time even at the fundamental level of postulates. In other words, there is no permanent beingness.

During a lifetime, the physical beingness is relatively fixed; but it still changes from childhood to adult phase to old age. What we call “death” is essentially the ending of the body or the physical beingness of a lifetime.

The mental beingness consists of the postulates that have come together to form the viewpoint. The viewpoint can change without thinking that it is the end of its existence. But it can become fixated on its speculations, assumption or ideas. In that case, it may think that letting go of such beliefs will also be the end of itself. This is an aberration.

What continues after death are the changes one brought about in the accumulated knowledge of the society and mankind. The specific beingness also continues through one’s DNA. The DNA consists of the blueprint of the body plus evolutionary programming. The unassimilated impressions are also carried forward until they are fully assimilated.

The DNA exists in the ashes of the body. But DNA is also transmitted through one’s children.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 25. Thus comes about death.

This follows from Scientology Factor # 24, according to which the viewpoint starts to identify itself with the dimension points; and starts to believe that, like them, it can perish too.

.

Logic

The logic of afterlife can easily be explained as above in the continuation of mental fixations beyond the death of physical beingness.

KHTK Factor # 12-1: Any discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony among viewpoints and dimension points is an anomaly to be resolved.

This factor calls out any violation of the criterion of oneness to be an anomaly. Such an anomaly has the primary form of a discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony. An anomaly must be resolved to restore the condition of oneness of what we know.

As viewpoints compare their dimension points, anomalies are spotted. This is followed by closer inspection that leads to realization. Thus, anomalies are resolved, and the postulates are expanded upon. 

Following this, new viewpoints and dimension points come about; new anomalies are spotted, and the cycle repeats. 

When an anomaly is resolved what we are left with is the truth! But this is a truth only until the next anomaly shows up. It is uncertain that there will come a point when everything is absolutely clear.

Scientology

There is no Scientology factor corresponding to the above KHTK Factor.

This factor follows naturally from the previous factor. Now that we have the criterion of oneness, any violation of that criterion would be an anomaly. The general tendency is to ignore the anomaly, or explain it away. It is quite an ability to notice an anomaly and follow it up. 

One, who recognizes anomalies and follows them through to resolution, always comes up with wonderful realizations. He finds life to be very interesting and worthwhile.

Logic

An anomaly is any violation of the integrity of reality, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

KHTK Factor # 1-2: The postulates attempt to convert the Unknowable into Knowable.

The postulate manifests as something knowable in the background of Unknowable. It is accompanied by the awareness of what is manifested.

But only the postulate is known. The Unknowable remains unknowable in the background. The postulate attempts to replace the Unknowable.

For example, there is the omniscient God, who knows every bit of the universe because He created it. That God is the explanation for the universe that we sense. For us, the universe exists because God is there. We do not question how God came about. God is simply there.

And that is a postulate from which all reasoning follows.

.

Scientology

In Scientology, there is the Supreme Being from which everything flows. The Supreme Being is like the God. He is the ultimate Cause. See KHTK Factor # 1.

.

Logic

So, the postulates replace the Unknowable. And all we have are the knowable postulates.
