Volume II of ‘Critique of Pure Scientology’ is in the making. It will complement and take up several subjects which have not been adequately covered in the first volume. It will also present an exciting alternative that does away with all the nonsense in Scientology and yet preserves what was valuable.
So far no Scientologist or ex-scientologist has been able to disapprove the main tenets of the Critique.
Life is energy, is motion and is also in-formation. Life is mind and soul and always in motion. The motion is expressed by thought in the mental sphere. All this occurs both in and outside of spacetime. Everything is in motion whether in the physical world or in the mental world.
Theta in Scientology is defined as life energy, thought, spirit, soul even divine energy and it is also surprisingly defined as ‘static’. The latter was perhaps Hubbard’s biggest goof, as thought, everyone who has ever tried to do TR 0 knows, is all but static.
Hubbard believed that everything not in spacetime must be devoid of motion. If Hubbard were right and life were static, how could it ever communicate with MEST which is all motion?
Hubbard said Reality is agreed upon Isness. Isness is an apparency, not actual. [Actual means: Existing in reality and not potential, possible, simulated, or false.] In the East such isness is called Maya.
Vinaire says Reality = IS-NESS. Reality (is-ness, maya) improves as alter-isness is removed. That is the whole idea of handling anomalies. Resolving anomalies amounts to removing alter-is-ness. If one removes all alter-is-ness from reality one gets as-is-ness and reality disappears. ref. Axiom 11.
Hegel said “The rational is real, and the real is rational”. If that is so then Reality=Reason=Theta.
Who is right?
Scientology has been promoted as the road to total freedom. Total freedom is even theoretically an impossibility.
Freedom can only be defined against a frame of constraints. You are not free to change your own nature, not to be who you are, you are not free to un-will, what you will.
Absolute freedom is freely suspended in pure ethereal air, it is an idea, not even mathematically possible. Even infinity needs a zero container. There are only degrees of freedom. It’s like the absolute vacuum, not attainable. Even scientology’s own logic forbids it.
ref. Logic 6: Absolutes are unobtainable.
Let’s take up the first and the second:
1. Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the cause was the creation of effect.
2. In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.
From this we can see that the first effect that was created, was the beginning. We also see that a Cause existed to effect this beginning. The second factor provides a non sequitur. ‘TO BE’ means to exist but existence was already in existence at the time of the creation of the first effect. Furthermore it was a decision, which implies that the decision might have turned out NOT TO BE.
If there is a decision, a decision maker must exist. This anonymous decision maker, theoretically could have decided NOT TO BE as the creation of an effect according to Factor 1. This would have to be the case in order for it to then change its mind and decide TO BE. The problem with this explanation is however that the decision TO BE is forever.
Exercise for scientologists: Find the author’s misunderstood!
From a lofty viewpoint what really motivates us can be described as follows:
If we compare life to a game of chess, we might have the following scenario. There is a static board which is the spacetime Cartesian grid and there are invisible static rules. Then there are players usually two and sixteen white pieces and sixteen black pieces. The two players are clusters of invisible thetans or souls. There is a cluster called white and one called black. These thetans are mathematical functions*, which is to say they have thought energy of a limitless potential. Each of the thetans operates one of the pieces, coordinated by the thetan in charge of the respective cluster. Part of that mathematical thought energy, in the lower frequencies, they share and that makes the board and the pieces solid. The pieces are the energy particles and configurations they play with.
The purpose of the game is for all participants to reach gnosis and to continue to play until every aspect and combinations in and of the game have been completely understood, which is the apotheosis. They learn to become God, by overcoming Satan, in the form of the opponent’s king, every time, in each iteration of the game, eventually being able to re-program the game itself.
*There is no difference between mathematics and thinking. Mathematics is merely another term for precise thinking.” ARC and the Tone scale, 4 November 1950
The state of OT:
Knowing and willing cause over thought, life, matter, energy, space and time, subjective and objective. If this is not monotheism it will be the everlasting war of OTs to establish who is the supreme Cause.
It is not well advertised in scientology, but according to Hubbard the operating thetan can also create other thetans. The latter ability is the exact equivalent of the Abrahamic God. The one who created all Christian, Jewish and muslim souls.
See also the book “Critique of Pure Scientology” available from Amazon.
Clear and OT are equivalent concepts. The only difference is whether we take one or all dynamics into account. If we are intent on becoming OT and if LRH and others (Hindus, Sanatana Dharma) were right and we were once–trillions of years ago–Clear and OT then logically it must be possible to attain the state again. Scientologists unlike the Vedic scholars and Dharmis (Hindus), tend to believe in a linear time and space track. When looking at the time track they often ignore the cycle of action, which of course stems from the Rig Veda as LRH pointed out. In Hindu cosmology time although going back into the hundreds of trillions of years ago is cyclic and takes the form of so called yugas. A Yuga cycle has four periods, as pictured below. Taken from Wikipedia:
“Satya Yuga (Krita Yuga, “the age of truth” or the “Hindu golden age”): the first and best yuga in a cycle. It is the age of truth and perfection.”
Thus we could say that the satya yuga is equivalent to all of us being Clears and OTs and bathing in truth and perfection and harmony. We might ask though: ‘but why didn’t we remain in a state of eternal bliss forever?’ That is what the Christian heaven was all about, eternal admiration and contemplation of a perfect God, to which we tend to say “how boring”. The Vedic solution was to enter some randomity, or evil into the picture in a 1:3 ratio, this they named the Treta Yuga. Treta means third. This was followed by two more yugas where the proportions of evil to good went from 2:2 to 3:1 in the Kali Yuga. The latter could be considered our curent era.
Thus we have arrived at the concept of life as a game, life not as static but as becoming. A game as is well understood consists of purposes, freedoms and barriers and includes opponents. The entire tone scale in the upward direction is driven by the attempt to increase knowledge, control and responsibility or as Nietzsche put it the Will to Power. This is also reflected in the Scientology ethics conditions all leading up to power.
Scientific evidence points in the direction of the physical universe being created at the time of the so called Big Bang some 15 billion years ago. Most scientists mistakenly believe the entire universe was so created; it must be taken in to account that their materialistic paradigm does not allow for the existence of actual independent minds and spirits.
In a recent series of sessions I tried to look back at the beginning of this universe and I had in mind the idea that we once upon a time we actually had created a perfect civilization which included that we all had attained the highest spiritual states possible. In other words we had been clear and OTs in the absolute sense of those terms, completely cause over matter, energy, space and time subjective and objective.
One thing I found out is that it wasn’t so much an individual thing but it had become a social phenomenon; at that time we had actually learnt to cooperate, in fact we used competition to find out the best way to cooperate. We had reached a point where the physical was 100% under our control and you know what that is; it’s what scientists have referred to as the Big Crunch, as the universe attained maximum entropy it turned into a black hole singularity, we as beings became Gods and there was at one point zero entropy we were as ONE. Not that we had lost our individuality, not at all, each one of us had found the perfect expression of her inner potential and we knew how to work together to achieve the greatest works of art and beauty. We could enjoy the perfect music and also knew how to compose the universal music of reality itself.
We had arrived at what we described above as the Satya Yuga, we just had to do something we couldn’t keep the ecstatic orgasm going forever, we tried…
It was mathematically ordained it seemed. You must understand what a singularity is. A singularity is a mathematical point, a zero, often referred to in scientology as a static. This is not quite accurate as that singularity is full of energy, but you could consider the container static. The singularity contained an infinity of such static containers filled with energy, or what we call thetans. What the physicists don’t get is that it is mental energy or mathematical wave energy. It is where the physical has turned into the mental or in the case of a white hole the mental turned into the physical. It can only be truly understood mathematically. Zero and infinity are the principal ingredients of the mind. Google the graph of the mathematical function f(x)=1/x and you will see how zero turns into infinity and infinity turns into zero. http://zonalandeducation.com/mmts/functionInstitute/rationalFunctions/oneOverX/oneOverX.html
From a singularity with unity or god consciousness, with absolutely no spatial or temporal impediments to our postulates, zero resistance, zero charge, we promptly exploded into a myriad of pieces, all coherence gone and absolute chaos. That was the horrific Big Bang incident which was going from complete understanding, harmony and unity to being spread out and separated in a new spacetime template. We completely lost consciousness and it took as billions of years of evolution to regain it.
Talking of engrams this was the absolute basic incident, later stuff like implanting was just part of the game conditions that half conscious minds were engaged in throughout history as part of the many power games that were playing out. What became later to be called the reactive mind was considered to be the result of structural wide spread implanting. I now found that this is not the basic at all, unconsciousness was the routine state of mind for billions of years until we thetans could develop the highly complex type of bodies with brains with neo cortex etc. Unconscious does not mean absence of ability by the way, just think of the somnambulist driving a car safely and accurately or think of the instincts of the bees, animals or the mathematical–sacred geometry–designs of the plants and flowers. What happened also explains why we don’t remember the earlier cycles, it was a complete reset the only thing remaining is a deep seated knowingness of the perfection of which we were once capable and the indelible urge to advance our consciousness to attain the ultimate once again.
The greatest joy I felt was realizing that we are about to end the Kali Yuga and when we put our conscious abilities to good use, we will have a super society and lives of which we can only dream now. Personally we all will be able to attain the full state of OT and play as we like and enjoy our creative abilities to the fullest.
Scientology Axiom 1: LIFE IS BASICALLY A STATIC. Definition: A life static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or in time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive.
A life static thus has all defining characteristics of non-life. Life characteristics are dynamic such as are metabolism, growth, reproduction, action and response to stimuli.
Life based on non-life requires a course in miracles or strict training in modern science, where whole universes appear spontaneously out of nowhere, by chance, for no reason.
Therefore we propose the following correction to rescue scientology from non-intelligibility.
LIFE IS BASICALLY A SINGULARITY
Definition: A singularity has no mass, no location in space, nor in time, but it contains all the frequencies of the tone scale, it can think and perceive.
