THE FACTORS
(Summation of the considerations and examinations of
the human spirit and the material universe completed
between A.D.1923 and 1953)
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.
3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.
4. The second action of beingness is to extend from the
viewpoint, points to view, which are dimension points.
5. Thus there is space created, for the definition
of space is: viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose
of a dimension point is space and a point of view.
6. The action of a dimension point is reaching and
withdrawing.
7. And from the viewpoint to the dimension points
there are connection and interchange. Thus new
dimension points are made. Thus there is communication.
8. And thus there is light.
9. And thus there is energy.
10. And thus there is life.
11. But there are other viewpoints and these viewpoints
outthrust points to view. And there comes about an
interchange amongst viewpoints; but the interchange is
never otherwise than in terms of exchanging dimension points.
12. The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for
the viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration,
possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the
viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to
its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes about
all the fundamentals there are to motion.
13. The dimension points are each and every one, whether
large or small, solid. And they are solid solely because the
viewpoints say they are solid.
14. Many dimension points combine into larger gases,
fluids or solids. Thus there is matter. But the most valued
point is admiration, and admiration is so strong its absence
alone permits persistence.
15. The dimension point can be different from other
dimension points and thus can possess an individual quality. And
many dimension points can possess a similar quality, and others
can possess a similar quality unto themselves. Thus comes about
the quality of classes of matter.
16. The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms
and the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different
distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations
of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints
are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.
17. And the opinion of the viewpoint regulates the
consideration of the forms, their stillness or their motion, and
these considerations consist of assignment of beauty or ugliness
to the forms and these considerations alone are art.
18. It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these
forms should endure. Thus there is survival.
19. And the viewpoint can never perish; but the form can
perish.
20. And the many viewpoints, interacting, become
dependent upon one another's forms and do not choose to
distinguish completely the ownership of dimension points and so
comes about a dependency upon the dimension points and upon
the other viewpoints.
21. From this comes a consistency of viewpoint of the
interaction of dimension points and this, regulated, is TIME.
22. And there are universes.
23. The universes, then, are three in number: the universe
created by one viewpoint, the universe created by every other
viewpoint, the universe created by the mutual action of
viewpoints which is agreed to be upheld -- the physical universe.
24. And the viewpoints are never seen. And the viewpoints
consider more and more that the dimension points are valuable.
And the viewpoints try to become the anchor points and forget
that they can create more points and space and forms. Thus
comes about scarcity. And the dimension points can perish and so
the viewpoints assume that they, too, can perish.
25. Thus comes about death.
26. The manifestations of pleasure and pain, of thought,
emotion and effort, of thinking, of sensation, of affinity,
reality, communication, of behavior and being are thus derived
and the riddles of our universe are apparently contained and
answered herein.
27. There is beingness, but Man believes there is only
becomingness.
28. The resolution of any problem posed hereby is the
establishment of viewpoints and dimension points, the betterment
of condition and concourse amongst dimension points, and,
thereby, viewpoints, and the remedy of abundance or scarcity in
all things, pleasant or ugly, by the rehabilitation of the
ability of the viewpoint to assume points of view and create
and uncreate, neglect, start, change and stop dimension points
of any kind at the determinism of the viewpoint.
Certainty in all three universes must be regained, for
certainty, not data, is knowledge.
29. In the opinion of the viewpoint, any beingness, any
thing, is better than no thing, any effect is better than no effect,
any universe better than no universe, any particle better than no
particle, but the particle of admiration is best of all.
30. And above these things there might be speculation only.
And below these things there is the playing of the game. But
these things which are written here Man can experience and
know. And some may care to teach these things and some may
care to use them to assist those in distress and some may desire
to employ them to make individuals and organizations more able
and so give to Earth a culture of which we can be proud.

THE AXIOMS OF
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.
AXIOM 2. THE STATIC IS CAPABLE OF CONSIDERATIONS, POSTULATES, AND OPINIONS.
AXIOM 3. SPACE, ENERGY, OBJECTS. FORM AND TIME ARE THE RESULT OF CONSIDERATIONS MADE AND/OR AGREED UPON OR NOT BY THE STATIC, AND
ARE PERCEIVED SOLELY BECAUSE THE STATIC CONSIDERS THAT IT CAN PERCEIVE THEM.
AXIOM 4. SPACE IS A VIEWPOINT OF DIMENSION.
AXIOM 5. ENERGY CONSISTS OF POSTULATED PARTICLES IN SPACE.
AXIOM 6. OBJECTS CONSIST OF GROUPED PARTICLES AND SOLIDS.
AXIOM 7. TIME IS BASICALLY A POSTULATE THAT SPACE AND PARTICLES WILL PERSIST.
AXIOM 8. THE APPARENCY OF TIME IS THE CHANGE OF POSITION OF PARTICLES IN SPACE.
AXIOM 9. CHANGE IS THE PRIMARY MANIFESTATION OF TIME.
AXIOM 10. THE HIGHEST PURPOSE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS THE CREATION OF AN EFFECT.
AXIOM 11. THE CONSIDERATIONS RESULTING IN CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE ARE FOUR-FOLD.
(a) AS-IS-NESS is the condition of immediate creation
without persistence, and is the condition of existence which
exists at the moment of creation and the moment of destruction, and is different from
other considerations in that it does not
contain survival.
(b) ALTER-IS-NESS is the consideration which introduces change and therefore time and persistence, into an AS-IS-NESS
to obtain persistency.
(c) IS-NESS is an apparency of existence brought about by the continuous alteration of
an AS-IS-NESS. This is called, when agreed upon, Reality.
(d) NOT-IS-NESS is the effort to handle IS-NESS by
reducing its condition through the use of force. It is an
apparency and cannot entirely vanquish an IS-NESS.
AXIOM 12. THE PRIMARY CONDITION OF ANY UNIVERSE IS THAT TWO
SPACES, ENERGIES, OR OBJECTS MUST NOT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE. WHEN
THIS CONDITION IS VIOLATED (PERFECT DUPLICATE) THE APPARENCY OF
ANY UNIVERSE OR ANY PART THEREOF IS NULLED.
AXIOM 13. THE CYCLE OF ACTION OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS: CREATE,
SURVIVE (PERSIST), DESTROY.
AXIOM 14. SURVIVAL IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ALTER-IS-NESS AND NOT-IS-NESS,
BY WHICH IS GAINED THE PERSISTENCY KNOWN AS TIME.
AXIOM 15. CREATION IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE POSTULATION OF AN
AS-IS-NESS.
AXIOM 16. COMPLETE DESTRUCTION IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
POSTULATION OF THE AS-IS-NESS OF ANY EXISTENCE AND THE PARTS
THEREOF.
AXIOM 17. THE STATIC, HAVING POSTULATED AS-IS-NESS, THEN PRACTICES
ALTER-IS-NESS, AND SO ACHIEVES THE APPARENCY OF IS-NESS AND SO
OBTAINS REALITY.
AXIOM 18. THE STATIC, IN PRACTICING NOT-IS-NESS, BRINGS ABOUT THE
PERSISTENCE OF UNWANTED EXISTENCES, AND SO BRINGS ABOUT UNREALITY,
WHICH INCLUDES FORGETFULNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND OTHER
UNDESIRABLE STATES.
AXIOM 19. BRINGING THE STATIC TO VIEW AS-IS ANY CONDITION
DEVALUATES THAT CONDITION.
AXIOM 20. BRINGING THE STATIC TO CREATE A PERFECT DUPLICATE CAUSES
THE VANISHMENT OF ANY EXISTENCE OR PART THEREOF.
A perfect duplicate is an additional creation of the object, its
energy, and space, in its own space, in its own time, using its
own energy. This violates the condition that two objects must
not occupy the same space, and causes a vanishment of the
object.
AXIOM 21. UNDERSTANDING IS COMPOSED OF AFFINITY, REALITY, AND
COMMUNICATION.
AXIOM 22. THE PRACTICE OF NOT-IS-NESS REDUCES UNDERSTANDING.
AXIOM 23. THE STATIC HAS THE CAPABILITY OF TOTAL KNOWINGNESS. TOTAL
KNOWINGNESS WOULD CONSIST OF TOTAL ARC.
AXIOM 24. TOTAL ARC WOULD BRING ABOUT THE VANISHMENT OF ALL
MECHANICAL CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE.
AXIOM 25. AFFINITY IS A SCALE OF ATTITUDES WHICH FALLS AWAY FROM
THE CO-EXISTENCE OF STATIC, THROUGH THE INTERPOSITIONS OF DISTANCE
AND ENERGY, TO CREATE IDENTITY, DOWN TO CLOSE PROXIMITY BUT MYSTERY.
By the practice of Is-ness (Beingness) and Not-is-ness
(refusal to Be) individuation progresses from the Knowingness
of complete identification down through the introduction of
more and more distance and less and less duplication, through
Lookingness, Emotingness, Effortingness, Thinkingness,
Symbolizingness, Eatingness, Sexingness, and so through to
not-Knowingness (Mystery). Until the point of Mystery is
reached, some communication is possible, but even at Mystery
an attempt to communicate continues. Here we have, in the
case of an individual, a gradual falling away from the
belief that one can assume a complete Affinity down to the
conviction that all is a complete Mystery. Any individual
is somewhere on this Know-to-Mystery scale. The original
Chart of Human Evaluation was the Emotion section of this scale.
AXIOM 26. REALITY IS THE AGREED-UPON APPARENCY OF EXISTENCE.
AXIOM 27. AN ACTUALITY CAN EXIST FOR ONE INDIVIDUALLY, BUT WHEN
IT IS AGREED WITH BY OTHERS IT CAN THEN BE SAID TO BE A REALITY.
The anatomy of Reality is contained in Is-ness, which is
composed of As-is-ness and Alter-is-ness. Is-ness is an
apparency, it is not an Actuality.
The Actuality is As-is-ness altered so as to obtain
a persistency.
Unreality is the consequence and apparency of the practice of
Not-is-ness.
AXIOM 28. COMMUNICATION IS THE CONSIDERATION AND ACTION OF
IMPELLING AN IMPULSE OR PARTICLE FROM SOURCE-POINT ACROSS A
DISTANCE TO RECEIPT-POINT, WITH THE INTENTION OF BRINGING
INTO BEING AT THE RECEIPT-POINT A DUPLICATION AND UNDERSTANDING
OF THAT WHICH EMANATED FROM THE SOURCE-POINT.
The formula of Communication is: Cause, Distance, Effect,
with Intention, Attention and Duplication WITH UNDERSTANDING.
The component parts of Communication are Consideration, Intention,
Attention, Cause, Source-point, Distance, Effect, Receipt-point,
Duplication, Understanding, the Velocity of the impulse or
particle, Nothingness or Somethingness. A non-communication
consists of Barriers. Barriers consist of Space, Interpositions
(such as walls and screens of fast-moving particles), and Time.
A communication, by definition, does not need to be two-way.
When a communication is returned, the formula is repeated,
with the receipt-point now becoming a source-point and the
former source-point now becoming a receipt-point.
AXIOM 29. IN ORDER TO CAUSE AN AS-IS-NESS TO PERSIST, ONE
MUST ASSIGN OTHER AUTHORSHIP TO THE CREATION THAN HIS OWN.
OTHERWISE HIS VIEW OF IT WOULD CAUSE ITS VANISHMENT.
Any space, energy, form, object, individual, or physical
universe condition can exist only when an alteration has
occurred of the original As-is-ness so as to prevent a casual
view from vanishing it.
In other words, anything which is persisting must contain a "lie"
so that the original consideration is not completely duplicated.
AXIOM 30. THE GENERAL RULE OF AUDITING IS THAT ANYTHING WHICH IS
UNWANTED AND YET PERSISTS MUST BE THOROUGHLY VIEWED, AT WHICH
TIME IT WILL VANISH.
If only partially viewed, its intensity, at least, will
decrease.
AXIOM 31. GOODNESS AND BADNESS, BEAUTIFULNESS AND UGLINESS,
ARE ALIKE CONSIDERATIONS AND HAVE NO OTHER BASIS THAN OPINION.
AXIOM 32. ANYTHING WHICH IS NOT DIRECTLY OBSERVED TENDS TO PERSIST.
AXIOM 33. ANY AS-IS-NESS WHICH IS ALTERED BY NOT-IS-NESS (BY FORCE)
TENDS TO PERSIST.
AXIOM 34. ANY IS-NESS, WHEN ALTERED BY FORCE, TENDS TO PERSIST.
AXIOM 35. THE ULTIMATE TRUTH IS A STATIC.
A Static has no mass, meaning, mobility, no wavelength, no
time, no location in space, no space.
This has the technical name of "Basic Truth".
AXIOM 36. A LIE IS A SECOND POSTULATE, STATEMENT OR CONDITION
DESIGNED TO MASK A PRIMARY POSTULATE WHICH IS PERMITTED TO REMAIN.
Examples:
Neither truth nor a lie is a motion or alteration of a particle
from one position to another.
A lie is a statement that a particle having moved did not
move, or a statement that a particle, not having moved, did move.
The basic lie is that a consideration which was made was not
made or that it was different.
AXIOM 37. WHEN A PRIMARY CONSIDERATION IS ALTERED BUT STILL
EXISTS, PERSISTENCE IS ACHIEVED FOR THE ALTERING CONSIDERATION.
All persistence depends on the Basic Truth, but the persistence
is of the altering consideration, for the Basic Truth has neither
persistence nor inpersistence.
AXIOM 38. 1: STUPIDITY IS THE UNKNOWNESS OF CONSIDERATION.
2: MECHANICAL DEFINITION: STUPIDITY IS UNKNOWNESS OF TIME, PLACE,
FORM AND EVENT.
1: TRUTH IS THE EXACT CONSIDERATION.
2: TRUTH IS THE EXACT TIME, PLACE, FORM, AND EVENT.
Thus we see that failure to discover Truth brings about stupidity.
Thus we see that the discovery of Truth would bring about
an As-is-ness by actual experiment.
Thus we see that an ultimate truth would have no time,
place, form or event.
Thus, then, we perceive that we can achieve a persistence
only when we mask a truth.
Lying is an alteration of time, place, event, or form.
Lying becomes Alter-is-ness, becomes Stupidity.
(The blackness of cases is an accumulation of the case's own
or another's lies.)
Anything which persists must avoid As-is-ness. Thus,
anything, to persist, must contain a lie.
AXIOM 39. LIFE POSES PROBLEMS FOR ITS OWN SOLUTION.
AXIOM 40. ANY PROBLEM, TO BE A PROBLEM, MUST CONTAIN A LIE, IF IT
WERE TRUTH, IT WOULD UNMOCK.
An "unsolvable problem" would have the greatest
persistence.
It would also contain the greatest number of altered facts. To
make a problem, one must introduce Alter-is-ness.
AXIOM 41. THAT INTO WHICH ALTER-IS-NESS IS INTRODUCED BECOMES A
PROBLEM.
AXIOM 42. MEST (MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE, TIME) PERSISTS BECAUSE IT
IS A PROBLEM.
It is a problem because it contains Alter-is-ness.
AXIOM 43. TIME IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF UNTRUTH.
Time states the untruth of consecutive considerations.
AXIOM 44. THETA (THE STATIC) HAS NO LOCATION IN MATTER, ENERGY,
SPACE, OR TIME. IT IS CAPABLE OF CONSIDERATION.
AXIOM 45. THETA CAN CONSIDER ITSELF TO BE PLACED, AT WHICH MOMENT
IT BECOMES PLACED, AND TO THAT DEGREE A PROBLEM.
AXIOM 46. THETA CAN BECOME A PROBLEM BY ITS CONSIDERATIONS, BUT
THEN BECOMES MEST.
A problem is to some degree MEST. MEST is a problem.
AXIOM 47. THETA CAN RESOLVE PROBLEMS.
AXIOM 48. LIFE IS A GAME WHEREIN THETA AS THE STATIC SOLVES THE
PROBLEMS OF THETA AS MEST.
AXIOM 49. TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEM IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO BECOME
THETA, THE SOLVER, RATHER THAN THETA, THE PROBLEM.
AXIOM 50. THETA AS MEST MUST CONTAIN CONSIDERATIONS WHICH
ARE LIES.
AXIOM 51. POSTULATES AND LIVE COMMUNICATION NOT BEING MEST AND
BEING SENIOR TO MEST CAN ACCOMPLISH CHANGE IN MEST WITHOUT
BRINGING ABOUT A PERSISTENCE OF MEST. THUS AUDITING CAN OCCUR.
AXIOM 52. MEST PERSISTS AND SOLIDIFIES TO THE DEGREE THAT IT
IS NOT GRANTED LIFE.
AXIOM 53. A STABLE DATUM IS NECESSARY TO THE ALIGNMENT OF DATA.
AXIOM 54. A TOLERANCE OF CONFUSION AND AN AGREED-UPON STABLE DATUM
ON WHICH TO ALIGN THE DATA IN A CONFUSION ARE AT ONCE NECESSARY
FOR A SANE REACTION ON THE EIGHT DYNAMICS. THIS DEFINES SANITY.
AXIOM 55. THE CYCLE OF ACTION IS A CONSIDERATION. CREATE, SURVIVE,
DESTROY, THE CYCLE OF ACTION ACCEPTED BY THE G.E.*, IS ONLY A
CONSIDERATION WHICH CAN BE CHANGED BY THE THETAN MAKING A NEW
CONSIDERATION OR DIFFERENT ACTION CYCLES.
AXIOM 56. THETA BRINGS ORDER TO CHAOS.
Corollary: Chaos brings disorder to theta.
AXIOM 57. ORDER MANIFESTS WHEN COMMUNICATION, CONTROL AND
HAVINGNESS ARE AVAILABLE TO THETA.
Definition: Communication: the interchange of ideas across space.
Control: positive postulating, which is intention. and the
execution thereof.
Havingness: that which permits the experience of mass and
pressure.
AXIOM 58. INTELLIGENCE AND JUDGMENT ARE MEASURED BY
THE ABILITY TO EVALUATE RELATIVE IMPORTANCES.
COROLLARY: THE ABILITY TO EVALUATE IMPORTANCES AND
UNIMPORTANCES IS THE HIGHEST FACULTY OF LOGIC.
COROLLARY: IDENTIFICATION IS A MONOTONE ASSIGNMENT OF IMPORTANCE.
COROLLARY: IDENTIFICATION IS THE INABILITY TO EVALUATE
DIFFERENCES IN TIME, LOCATION, FORM, COMPOSITION OR IMPORTANCE.

THIS IS THE AUDITOR'S CODE OF 1968
It supersedes any earlier Codes. It has been developed as
part of the Standard Tech Program. It is the official Auditor's
Code.
It is required of auditors and students under training that
they know this Code by heart, know what it means, and as they
process, practice it. It is one thing to know it -- another
to practice it. A good auditor does both. It is not something
to be read, agreed with and forgotten.
Following it means success in cases. Neglecting any part of
it means failures. It combines the arduously won experiences
collected during eighteen years from the practice of thousands
of auditors.
We want successes.

THE AUDITOR Issue 43
THE AUDITOR'S CODE 1968
IN CELEBRATION OF THE 100 PERCENT GAINS ATTAINABLE BY STANDARD
TECH I HEREBY PROMISE AS AN AUDITOR TO FOLLOW THE AUDITOR'S CODE:
(1) I promise not to evaluate for the preclear or tell him what
he should think about his case in session.
(2) I promise not to invalidate the preclear's case or gains in
or out of session.
(3) I promise to administer only Standard Tech to a preclear
in the standard way.
(4) I promise to keep all auditing appointments once made.
(5) I promise not to process a preclear who has not had
sufficient rest and who is physically tired.
(6) I promise not to process a preclear who is improperly fed
or hungry.
(7) I promise not to permit a frequent change of auditors.
(8) I promise not to sympathize with a preclear, but be
effective.
(9) I promise not to let the preclear end session on his own
determinism, but to finish off those cycles I have begun.
(10) I promise never to walk off from a preclear in session.
(11) I promise never to get angry with a preclear in session.
(12) I promise to run every major case action to a floating
needle.
(13) I promise never to run any one action beyond its floating
needle.
(14) I promise to grant beingness to the preclear in session.
(15) I promise not to mix the processes of Scientology with
other practices except when the preclear is physically ill and
only medical means will serve.
(16) I promise to maintain Communication with the preclear
and not to cut his comm or permit him to overrun in session.
(17) I promise not to enter comments, expressions or
enturbulence into a session that distract a preclear from his
case.
(18) I promise to continue to give the preclear the process or
auditing command when needed in the session.
(19) I promise not to let a preclear run a wrongly understood
command.
(20) I promise not to explain, justify or make excuses in
session for any auditor mistakes whether real or imagined.
(21) I promise to estimate the current case state of a preclear
only by Standard Case Supervision data and not to diverge
because of some imagined difference in the case.
(22) I promise never to use the secrets of a preclear divulged
in session for punishment or personal gain.
(23) I promise to see that any fee received for processing is
refunded following the policies of the Claims Verification
Board, if the preclear is dissatisfied and demands it within
three months after the processing, the only condition being
that he may not again be processed or trained.
(24) I promise not to advocate Scientology only to cure illness
or only to treat the insane, knowing well it was intended for
spiritual gain.
(25) I promise to cooperate fully with the legal organizations
of Dianetics and Scientology as developed by L. Ron Hubbard
in safeguarding the ethical use and practice of the subject
according to the basics of Standard Tech.
(26) I promise to refuse to permit any being to be physically
injured, violently damaged, operated on or killed in the name
of "mental treatment".
(27) I promise not to permit sexual liberties or violation of
the mentally unsound.
(28) I promise to refuse to admit to the ranks of practitioners
any being who is insane.
THE CODE OF HONOR
No one expects the Code of Honor to be closely and tightly
followed.
An ethical code cannot be enforced. Any effort to enforce
the Code of Honor would bring it into the level of a moral code.
It cannot be enforced simply because it is a way of life which
can exist as a way of life only as long as it is not enforced.
Any other use but self-determined use of the Code of Honor
would, as any Scientologist could quickly see, produce a
considerable deterioration in a person. Therefore its use is
a luxury use, and which is done solely on self-determined
action, providing one sees eye to eye with the Code of Honor.
1. Never desert a comrade in need, in danger, or in trouble.
2. Never withdraw allegiance once granted.
3. Never desert a group to which you owe your support.
4. Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power.
5. Never need praise, approval or sympathy.
6. Never compromise with your own reality.
7. Never permit your affinity to be alloyed.
8. Do not give or receive communication unless you yourself
desire it.
9. Your self determinism and your honor are more important
than your immediate life.
10. Your integrity to yourself is more important than your
body.
11. Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make
your tomorrow.
12. Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.
13. Don't desire to be liked or admired.
14. Be your own adviser, keep your own counsel and select
your own decisions.
15. Be true to your own goals.
THE CODE OF A SCIENTOLOGIST
As a Scientologist I pledge myself to the Code of a Scientologist
for the good of all:
1. To keep Scientologists, the Public and the Press accurately
informed concerning Scientology, the world of Mental Health and
society.
2. To use the best I know of Scientology to the best of my
ability to help my family, friends, groups and the world.
3. To refuse to accept for processing and to refuse to accept
money from any preclear or group I feel I cannot honestly help.
4. To decry and do all I can to abolish any and all abuses
against life and Mankind.
5. To expose and help abolish any and all physically damaging
practices in the field of Mental Health.
6. To help clean up and keep clean the field of Mental Health.
7. To bring about an atmosphere of safety and security in the
field of Mental Health by eradicating its abuses and brutality.
8. To support true Humanitarian endeavors in the field of
Human Rights.
9. To embrace the policy of equal justice for all.
10. To work for freedom of speech in the world.
11. To actively decry the suppression of knowledge, wisdom,
philosophy or data which would help Mankind.
12. To support the freedom of religion.
13. To help Scientology organizations and groups ally
themselves with public groups.
14. To teach Scientology at a level it can be understood and
used by the recipients.
15. To stress the freedom to use Scientology as a philosophy in
all its applications and variations in the humanities.
16. To insist upon standard and unvaried Scientology as an
applied activity in ethics, processing and administration in
Scientology organizations.
17. To take my share of responsibility for the impact of
Scientology upon the world.
18. To increase the numbers and strength of Scientology over
the world.
19. To set an example of the effectiveness and wisdom of
Scientology.
20. To make this world a saner, better place.
1969, replacing 1954 Code.
THE CREED OF THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY
We of the Church believe:
That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with
equal rights.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious
practices and their performance.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives.
That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense.
That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist
and support their own organizations, churches and
governments.
That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk
freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter
or write upon the opinions of others.
That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their
own kind.
That the souls of men have the rights of men.
That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused
ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in
non-religious fields.
And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or
set aside these rights, overtly or covertly.
And we of the Church believe:
That man is basically good
That he is seeking to survive
That his survival depends upon himself and upon his fellows
and his attainment of brotherhood with the Universe.
And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid
Man:
To destroy his own kind
To destroy the sanity of another
To destroy or enslave another's soul
To destroy or reduce the survival of one's companions or
one's group.
And we of the Church believe
That the spirit can be saved and
That the spirit alone may save or heal the body.
Ceremonies of the Founding Church
THE SUPERVISOR'S CODE
1. The Supervisor must never neglect an opportunity to direct
a student to the actual source of Scientology data.
2. The Supervisor should invalidate a student's mistake
ruthlessly and use good ARC while doing it.
3. The Supervisor should remain in good ARC with his
students at all times while they are performing training
activities.
4. The Supervisor at all times must have a high tolerance of
stupidity in his students, and must be willing to repeat any
datum not understood as many times as necessary for the
student to understand and acquire reality on the datum.
5. The Supervisor does not have a "case" in his relationship
with his students, nor discuss or talk about his personal
problems to the students.
6. The Supervisor will, at all times, be a source point of good
control and direction to his students.
7. The Supervisor will be able to correlate any part of
Scientology to any other part and to livingness over the 8
dynamics.
8. The Supervisor should be able to answer any questions
concerning Scientology by directing the student to the actual
source of the data. If a Supervisor cannot answer a particular
question, he should always say so, and the Supervisor should
always find the answer to the
question from the source, and tell the student where the
answer is to be found.
9. The Supervisor should never lie to, deceive, or misdirect a
student concerning Scientology. He shall be honest at all times
about it with a student.

able to do anything he tells his students to do.
13. The Supervisor must not become emotionally involved
with students of either sex while they are under his or her
training.
14. When a Supervisor makes any mistake, he is to inform the
student that he has made one and rectify it immediately. This
datum embraces all phases in training demonstrations,
lectures and processing, etc. He is never to hide the fact that
he made the mistake.
15. The Supervisor should never neglect to give praise to his
students when due.
16. The Supervisor to some degree should be pan-determined
about the Supervisor-student relationship.
17. When a Supervisor lets a student control, give orders to,
or handle the Supervisor in any way, for the purpose of
demonstration or other training purposes, the Supervisor
should always put the student back under his control.
18. The Supervisor will at all times observe the Auditor's
Code during sessions, and the Code of a Scientologist at all
times.
19. The Supervisor will never give a student opinions about
Scientology without labeling them thoroughly as such;
otherwise, he is to direct only to tested and proven data
concerning Scientology.
20. The Supervisor shall never use a student for his own
personal gain.
21. The Supervisor will be a stable terminal, point the
way to stable data, be certain, but not dogmatic or
dictatorial toward his students.
22. The Supervisor will keep himself at all times informed
of the most recent Scientology data and procedures, and
communicate this information to his students.
THE CREDO OF A GOOD AND SKILLED MANAGER
To be effective and successful a manager must:
1. Understand as fully as possible the goals and aims
of the group he manages. He must be able to see and embrace the
ideal attainment of the goal as envisioned by a goal maker. He
must be able to tolerate and better the practical attainments and
advances of which his group and its members may be capable. He
must strive to narrow, always, the ever existing gulf between the
ideal and the practical.
2. He must realize that a primary mission is the full and
honest interpretation by himself of the ideal and ethic and their
goals and aims to his subordinates and the group itself. He must
lead creatively and persuasively toward these goals his
subordinates the group itself and the individuals of the group.
3. He must embrace the organization and act solely for the
entire organization and never form or favor cliques. His
judgment of individuals of the group should be solely in the light
of their worth to the entire group.
4. He must never falter in sacrificing individuals to the good
of the group both in planning and execution and in his justice.
5. He must protect all established communication lines and
complement them where necessary.
6. He must protect all affinity in his charge and have himself
an affinity for the group itself.
7. He must attain always to the highest creative reality.
8. His planning must accomplish, in the light of goals and
aims, the activity of the entire group. He must never let
organizations grow and sprawl but, learning by pilots, must keep
organizational planning fresh and flexible.
9. He must recognize in himself the rationale of the group and
receive and evaluate the data out of which he makes his solutions
with the highest attention to the truth of that data.
10. He must constitute himself on the orders of service to the
group.
11. He must permit himself to be served well as to his
individual requirements, practicing an economy of his own efforts
and enjoying certain comforts to the end of keeping high his
rationale.
12. He should require of his subordinates that they relay into
their own spheres of management the whole and entire of his true
feelings and the reasons for his decisions as clearly as they
can be relayed and expanded and interpreted only for the greater
understanding of the individuals governed by those subordinates.
13. He must never permit himself to pervert or mask any
portion of the ideal and ethic on which the group operates nor
must he permit the ideal and ethic to grow old and outmoded and
unworkable. He must never permit his planning to be perverted or
censored by subordinates. He must never permit the ideal and
ethic of the group's individual members to deteriorate, using
always reason to interrupt such a deterioration.
14. He must have faith in the goals faith in himself and faith
in the group.
15. He must lead by demonstrating always creative and
constructive sub-goals. He must not drive by threat and fear.
16. He must realize that every individual in the group is
engaged in some degree in the managing of other men,
life and MEST and that a liberty of management within this code
should be allowed to every such sub-manager.
Thus conducting himself a manager can win empire for his
group, whatever that empire may be.

Dianetics: The Original Thesis, 1948
THE FUNDAMENTAL AXIOMS
OF DIANETICS
The dynamic principle of existence -- SURVIVE!
Survival, considered as the single and sole Purpose,
subdivides into four dynamics.
DYNAMIC ONE is the urge of the individual toward survival
for the individual and his symbiotes. By symbiote is meant
all entities and energies which aid survival.
DYNAMIC TWO is the urge of the individual toward survival
through procreation; it includes both the sex act and the
raising of progeny, the care of children and their symbiotes.
DYNAMIC THREE is the urge of the individual toward survival for
the group or the group for the group and includes the
symbiotes of that group.
DYNAMIC FOUR is the urge of the individual toward survival for
Mankind or the urge toward survival of Mankind for Mankind
as well as the group for Mankind, etc., and includes the
symbiotes of Mankind.
The absolute goal of survival is immortality or infinite
survival. This is sought by the individual in terms of himself
as an organism, as a spirit or as a name or as his children,
as a group of which he is a member or as Mankind and the
progeny and symbiotes of others as well as his own.
The reward of survival activity is pleasure.
The ultimate penalty of destructive activity is death or complete
non-survival, and is pain.
Successes raise the survival potential toward infinite survival.
Failures lower the survival potential toward death.
The human mind is engaged upon perceiving and retaining data,
composing or computing conclusions and posing and resolving problems related to organisms along all four dynamics; and the
purpose of perception, retention, concluding and resolving
problems is to direct its own organism and symbiotes and other
organisms and symbiotes along the four dynamics toward survival.
Intelligence is the ability to perceive, pose and resolve
problems.
The dynamic is the tenacity to life and vigor and persistence in
survival.
Both the dynamic and intelligence are necessary to persist and
accomplish and neither is a constant quantity from individual to
individual, group to group.
The dynamics are inhibited by engrams, which lie across them
and disperse life force.
Intelligence is inhibited by engrams which feed false or
improperly graded data into the analyzer.
Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward
a known goal and, transiently, the contemplation of or indulgence
in pleasure.
The analytical mind is that portion of the mind which
perceives and retains experience data to compose and resolve
problems and direct the organism along the four dynamics. It
thinks in differences and similarities.
The reactive mind is that portion of the mind which files and
retains physical pain and painful emotion and seeks to direct the
organism solely on a stimulus-response basis. It thinks only in
identities.
The somatic mind is that mind which, directed by the
analytical or reactive mind, places solutions into effect on the
physical level.
A training pattern is that stimulus-response mechanism
resolved by the analytical mind to care for routine activity or
emergency activity. It is held in the somatic mind and can be
changed at will by the analytical mind.
Habit is that stimulus-response reaction dictated by the
reactive mind from the content of engrams and put into effect by
the somatic mind. It can be changed only by those things which
change engrams.
Aberrations, under which is included all deranged or irrational
behavior, are caused by engrams. They are stimulus-response pro-
and contra-survival.
Psycho-somatic ills are caused by engrams.
The engram is the single source of aberrations and
psycho-somatic ills.
Moments of "unconsciousness" when the analytical mind is
attenuated in greater or lesser degree are the only moments when
engrams can be received.
The engram is a moment of "unconsciousness" containing
physical pain or painful emotion and all perceptions and is not
available to the analytical mind as experience.
Emotion is three things: engramic response to situations,
endocrine metering of the body to meet situations on an
analytical level and the inhibition or the furtherance
of life force.
The potential value of an individual or a group may be
expressed by the equation
PVx = ID
where I is Intelligence and D is Dynamic.
The worth of an individual is computed in terms of the
alignment, on any dynamic, of his potential value with optimum
survival along that dynamic. A high PV may, by reversed vector,
result in a negative worth as in some severely aberrated persons.
A high PV on any dynamic assures a high worth only in the
unaberrated person.
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
THE LOGICS
LOGIC 1. KNOWLEDGE IS A WHOLE GROUP OR SUB-DIVISION OF A GROUP OF
DATA OR SPECULATIONS OR CONCLUSIONS ON DATA OR METHODS OF GAINING
DATA.
LOGIC 2. A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE IS A BODY OF DATA, ALIGNED
OR UNALIGNED, OR METHODS OF GAINING DATA.
LOGIC 3. ANY KNOWLEDGE WHICH CAN BE SENSED, MEASURED OR
EXPERIENCED BY ANY ENTITY IS CAPABLE OF INFLUENCING THAT ENTITY.
COROLLARY -- THAT KNOWLEDGE WHICH CANNOT BE SENSED, MEASURED OR
EXPERIENCED BY ANY ENTITY OR TYPE OF ENTITY CANNOT INFLUENCE THAT
ENTITY OR TYPE OF ENTITY.
LOGIC 4. A DATUM IS A FACSIMILE OF STATES OF BEING, STATES OF NOT
BEING, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS, CONCLUSIONS, OR SUPPOSITIONS IN THE
PHYSICAL OR ANY OTHER UNIVERSE.
LOGIC 5. A DEFINITION OF TERMS IS NECESSARY TO THE ALIGNMENT,
STATEMENT AND RESOLUTION OF SUPPOSITIONS, OBSERVATIONS,
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS AND THEIR COMMUNICATION.
DEFINITION -- DESCRIPTIVE DEFINITION: ONE WHICH CLASSIFIES BY
CHARACTERISTICS, BY DESCRIBING EXISTING STATES OF BEING.
DEFINITION -- DIFFERENTIATIVE DEFINITION: ONE WHICH COMPARES
UNLIKENESS TO EXISTING STATES OF BEING OR NOT BEING.
DEFINITION -- ASSOCIATIVE DEFINITION: ONE WHICH DECLARES
LIKENESS TO EXISTING STATES OF BEING OR NOT BEING.
DEFINITION -- ACTION DEFINITION: ONE WHICH DELINEATES CAUSE AND
POTENTIAL CHANGE OF STATE OF BEING BY CAUSE
OF EXISTENCE, INEXISTENCE, ACTION, INACTION, PURPOSE OR LACK OF
PURPOSE.
LOGIC 6. ABSOLUTES ARE UNOBTAINABLE.
LOGIC 7. GRADIENT SCALES ARE NECESSARY TO THE EVALUATION
OF PROBLEMS AND THEIR DATA.
This is the tool of infinity-valued logic: Absolutes are
unobtainable. Terms such as good and bad, alive and dead, right
and wrong are used only in conjunction with gradient scales. On
the scale of right and wrong, everything above zero or center
would be more and more right, approaching an infinite
rightness, and everything below center would be more and more
wrong, approaching infinite wrongness. All things assisting the
survival of the survivor are considered to be right for the
survivor. All things inhibiting survival from the viewpoint of the
survivor can be considered wrong for the survivor. The more a
thing assists survival, the more it can be considered right
for the survivor; the more a thing or action inhibits survival,
the more it is wrong from the viewpoint of the intended survivor.
COROLLARY -- ANY DATUM HAS ONLY RELATIVE TRUTH.
COROLLARY -- TRUTH IS RELATIVE TO ENVIRONMENTS, EXPERIENCE AND
TRUTH.
LOGIC 8. A DATUM CAN BE EVALUATED ONLY BY A DATUM OF COMPARABLE
MAGNITUDE.
LOGIC 9. A DATUM IS AS VALUABLE AS IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED.
LOGIC 10. THE VALUE OF A DATUM IS ESTABLISHED BY THE AMOUNT OF
ALIGNMENT (RELATIONSHIP) IT IMPARTS TO OTHER DATA.
LOGIC 11. THE VALUE OF A DATUM OR FIELD OF DATA CAN BE ESTABLISHED
BY ITS DEGREE OF ASSISTANCE IN SURVIVAL OR ITS INHIBITION TO
SURVIVAL.
LOGIC 12. THE VALUE OF A DATUM OR A FIELD OF DATA IS MODIFIED BY
THE VIEWPOINT OF THE OBSERVER.
LOGIC 13. PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED BY COMPARTMENTING THEM INTO AREAS
OF SIMILAR MAGNITUDE AND DATA, COMPARING THEM TO DATA ALREADY
KNOWN OR PARTIALLY KNOWN, AND RESOLVING EACH AREA. DATA WHICH
CANNOT BE KNOWN IMMEDIATELY MAY BE RESOLVED BY ADDRESSING WHAT
IS KNOWN AND USING ITS SOLUTION TO RESOLVE THE REMAINDER.
LOGIC 14. FACTORS INTRODUCED INTO A PROBLEM OR SOLUTION WHICH DO
NOT DERIVE FROM NATURAL LAW BUT ONLY AUTHORITARIAN COMMAND
ABERRATE THAT PROBLEM OR SOLUTION.
LOGIC 15. THE INTRODUCTION OF AN ARBITRARY INTO A PROBLEM OR
SOLUTION INVITES THE FURTHER INTRODUCTION OF ARBITRARIES INTO
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS.
LOGIC 16. AN ABSTRACT POSTULATE MUST BE COMPARED TO THE UNIVERSE
TO WHICH IT APPLIES AND BROUGHT INTO THE CATEGORY OF THINGS
WHICH CAN BE SENSED, MEASURED OR EXPERIENCED IN THAT UNIVERSE
BEFORE SUCH POSTULATE CAN BE CONSIDERED WORKABLE.
LOGIC 17. THOSE FIELDS WHICH MOST DEPEND UPON AUTHORITATIVE
OPINION FOR THEIR DATA LEAST CONTAIN KNOWN NATURAL LAW.
LOGIC 18. A POSTULATE IS AS VALUABLE AS IT IS WORKABLE.
LOGIC 19. THE WORKABILITY OF A POSTULATE IS ESTABLISHED BY
THE DEGREE TO WHICH IT EXPLAINS EXISTING PHENOMENA ALREADY
KNOWN, BY THE DEGREE THAT IT PREDICTS NEW PHENOMENA WHICH
WHEN LOOKED FOR WILL BE FOUND TO EXIST, AND BY THE DEGREE
THAT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT PHENOMENA WHICH DO NOT EXIST
IN FACT BE CALLED INTO EXISTENCE FOR ITS EXPLANATION.
LOGIC 20. A SCIENCE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A LARGE BODY OF
ALIGNED DATA WHICH HAS SIMILARITY IN APPLICATION AND WHICH
HAS BEEN DEDUCED OR INDUCED FROM BASIC POSTULATES.
LOGIC 21. MATHEMATICS ARE METHODS OF POSTULATING OR RESOLVING
REAL OR ABSTRACT DATA IN ANY UNIVERSE AND INTEGRATING BY
SYMBOLIZATION OF DATA, POSTULATES AND RESOLUTIONS.
LOGIC 22. THE HUMAN MIND* IS AN OBSERVER, POSTULATOR, CREATOR AND
STORAGE PLACE OF KNOWLEDGE.
LOGIC 23. THE HUMAN MIND IS A SERVOMECHANISM TO ANY MATHEMATICS
EVOLVED OR EMPLOYED BY THE HUMAN MIND. POSTULATE -- THE HUMAN
MIND AND INVENTIONS OF THE HUMAN MIND ARE CAPABLE OF RESOLVING
ANY AND ALL PROBLEMS WHICH CAN BE SENSED, MEASURED OR EXPERIENCED
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.
COROLLARY -- THE HUMAN MIND IS CAPABLE OF RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
OF THE HUMAN MIND.
The borderline of solution of this science lies between WHY
life is surviving and HOW life is surviving. It is possible to
resolve HOW life is surviving without resolving WHY life is
surviving.
LOGIC 24. THE RESOLUTION OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL, SCIENTIFIC AND
HUMAN STUDIES (such as economics, politics, sociology, medicine,
criminology, etc.) DEPENDS PRIMARILY UPON THE RESOLUTION OF THE
PROBLEMS OF THE HUMAN MIND.
* The human mind by definition includes the awareness unit of
the living organism, the observer, the computer of data,
the spirit, the memory storage, the life force and the
individual motivator of the living organisms. It is used as
distinct from the brain, which can be considered to be
motivated by the mind.
NOTE: The primary step in resolving
the broad activities of man could be considered to be the
resolving of the activities of the mind itself. Hence, the
logics carry to this point and the proceed as axioms concerning
the human mind, such axioms being substantiated as relative
truths by much newly discovered phenomena.
The ensuing axioms,
from Logic 24, apply no less to the various 'ologies' than
they do to de-aberrating or improving the operation of the mind.
It should not be thought that the following axioms are devoted
to the construction of anything as limited as a therapy, which
is only incidental to the resolution of human aberration and
such things as psychomatic illnesses. These axioms are capable
of such solutions, as has been demonstrated, but such a narrow
application would indicate a very narrow scope of view.
THE AXIOMS OF DIANETICS
AXIOM 1. THE SOURCE OF LIFE IS A STATIC OF PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR
PROPERTIES.
AXIOM 2. AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE STATIC CALLED LIFE IS IMPINGED
UPON THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 3. THAT PORTION OF THE STATIC OF LIFE WHICH IS IMPINGED UPON
THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE HAS FOR ITS DYNAMIC GOAL, SURVIVAL AND ONLY
SURVIVAL.
AXIOM 4. THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS REDUCIBLE TO MOTION OF ENERGY
OPERATING IN SPACE THROUGH TIME.
AXIOM 5. THAT PORTION OF THE STATIC OF LIFE CONCERNED WITH THE
LIFE ORGANISMS OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS CONCERNED WHOLLY WITH
MOTION.
AXIOM 6. THE LIFE STATIC HAS AS ONE OF ITS PROPERTIES THE ABILITY
TO MOBILIZE AND ANIMATE MATTER INTO LIVING ORGANISMS.
AXIOM 7. THE LIFE STATIC IS ENGAGED IN A CONQUEST OF THE PHYSICAL
UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 8. THE LIFE STATIC CONQUERS THE MATERIAL UNIVERSE BY
LEARNING AND APPLYING THE PHYSICAL LAWS OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
Symbol: The Symbol for the Life Static in use hereafter is the
Greek letter Theta.
AXIOM 9. A FUNDAMENTAL OPERATION OF THETA IN SURVIVING IS
BRINGING ORDER INTO THE CHAOS OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 10. THETA BRINGS ORDER INTO CHAOS BY CONQUERING WHATEVER IN
MEST MAY BE PRO-SURVIVAL AND DESTROYING WHATEVER IN MEST MAY BE
CONTRA-SURVIVAL, AT LEAST THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF LIFE ORGANISMS.
Symbol: The symbol for the physical universe in use hereafter is
MEST. from the first letters of the words Matter, Energy, Space,
and Time, or the Greek letter Phi.
AXIOM 11. A LIFE ORGANISM IS COMPOSED OF MATTER AND ENERGY IN
SPACE AND TIME, ANIMATED BY THETA.
Symbol: Living organism or organisms will hereafter be represented
by the Greek letter Lambda.
AXIOM 12. THE MEST PART OF THE ORGANISM FOLLOWS THE LAWS OF THE
PHYSICAL SCIENCES. ALL LAMBDA IS CONCERNED WITH MOTION.
AXIOM 13. THETA OPERATING THROUGH LAMBDA CONVERTS THE FORCES OF
THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE INTO FORCES TO CONQUER THE PHYSICAL
UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 14. THETA WORKING UPON PHYSICAL UNIVERSE MOTION MUST
MAINTAIN A HARMONIOUS RATE OF MOTION.
The limits of Lambda are narrow, both as to thermal and mechanical
motion.
AXIOM 15. LAMBDA IS THE INTERMEDIATE STEP IN THE CONQUEST OF THE
PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 16. THE BASIC FOOD OF ANY ORGANISM CONSISTS OF LIGHT AND
CHEMICALS.
Organisms can exist only as higher levels of complexities because
lower levels of converters exist.
Theta evolves organisms from lower to higher forms and supports
them by the existence of lower converter forms.
AXIOM 17. THETA, VIA LAMBDA, EFFECTS AN EVOLUTION OF MEST.
In
this we have the waste products of organisms on the one hand as
those very complex chemicals which bacteria make, and, on the
other hand, we have the physical face of the earth being
changed by animals and men, such changes as grass holding
mountains from eroding or roots causing boulders to break,
buildings being built, and rivers being dammed. There is
obviously an evolution in MEST in progress under the incursion
of Theta.
AXIOM 18. LAMBDA, EVEN WITHIN A SPECIES, VARIES IN ITS
ENDOWMENT OF THETA.
AXIOM 19. THE EFFORT OF LAMBDA IS TOWARD SURVIVAL.
The goal of Lambda is survival.
The penalty of failure to advance toward that goal is to succumb.
DEFINITION: PERSISTENCE IS THE ABILITY TO EXERT CONTINUANCE OF
EFFORT TOWARD SURVIVAL GOALS.
AXIOM 20. LAMBDA CREATES, CONSERVES, MAINTAINS, REQUIRES,
DESTROYS, CHANGES, OCCUPIES, GROUPS AND DISPERSES MEST. LAMBDA
SURVIVES BY ANIMATING AND MOBILIZING OR DESTROYING MATTER AND
ENERGY IN SPACE AND TIME.
AXIOM 21. LAMBDA IS DEPENDENT UPON OPTIMUM MOTION.
MOTION WHICH IS TOO SWIFT AND MOTION WHICH IS TOO SLOW
ARE EQUALLY CONTRA-SURVIVAL.
AXIOM 22. THETA AND THOUGHT ARE SIMILAR ORDERS OF STATIC.
AXIOM 23. ALL THOUGHT IS CONCERNED WITH MOTION.
AXIOM 24. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN OPTIMUM MOTION IS A BASIC
GOAL OF REASON.
DEFINITION: LAMBDA IS A CHEMICAL HEAT ENGINE EXISTING IN SPACE AND
TIME MOTIVATED BY THE LIFE STATIC AND DIRECTED BY THOUGHT.
AXIOM 25. THE BASIC PURPOSE OF REASON IS THE CALCULATION OR
ESTIMATION OF EFFORT.
AXIOM 26. THOUGHT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THETA FACSIMILES OF
PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, ENTITIES OR ACTIONS.
AXIOM 27. THETA IS SATISFIED ONLY WITH HARMONIOUS ACTION OR
OPTIMUM MOTION AND REJECTS OR DESTROYS ACTION OR MOTION
ABOVE OR BELOW ITS TOLERANCE BAND.
AXIOM 28. THE MIND IS CONCERNED WHOLLY WITH THE ESTIMATION OF
EFFORT.
DEFINITION: MIND IS THE THETA COMMAND POST OF ANY ORGANISM OR
ORGANISMS.
AXIOM 29. THE BASIC ERRORS OF REASON ARE FAILURES TO DIFFERENTIATE
AMONGST MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE AND TIME.
AXIOM 30. RIGHTNESS IS PROPER CALCULATION OF EFFORT.
AXIOM 31. WRONGNESS IS ALWAYS MISCALCULATION OF EFFORT.
AXIOM 32. THETA CAN EXERT ITSELF DIRECTLY OR EXTENSIONALLY.
Theta
can direct physical application of the organism to the environment
or through the mind, can first calculate the action or extend, as
in language, ideas.
AXIOM 33. CONCLUSIONS ARE DIRECTED TOWARD THE INHIBITION,
MAINTENANCE OR ACCELERATIONS OF EFFORTS.
AXIOM 34. THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL LIFE ORGANISMS IS MOTION.
AXIOM 35. EFFORT OF AN ORGANISM TO SURVIVE OR SUCCUMB IS
PHYSICAL MOTION OF A LIFE ORGANISM AT A GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME
THROUGH SPACE.
DEFINITION: MOTION IS ANY CHANGE IN ORIENTATION IN SPACE.
DEFINITION: FORCE IS RANDOM EFFORT.
DEFINITION: EFFORT IS DIRECTED FORCE.
AXIOM 36. AN ORGANISM'S EFFORT CAN BE TO REMAIN AT REST OR
PERSIST IN A GIVEN MOTION.
Static state has position in time, but an organism which is
remaining positionally in a static state if alive, is still
continuing a highly complex pattern of motion, such as the
heart beat, digestion, etc.
The efforts of organisms to survive or succumb are assisted,
compelled or opposed by the efforts of other organisms, matter,
energy, space and time.
DEFINITION: ATTENTION IS A MOTION WHICH MUST REMAIN AT AN OPTIMUM
EFFORT.
Attention is aberrated by becoming unfixed and sweeping at random
or becoming too fixed without sweeping.
Unknown threats to survival when sensed cause attention to sweep
without fixing. Known threats to survival when sensed cause
attention to fix.
AXIOM 37. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF LAMBDA IS INFINITE SURVIVAL.
AXIOM 38. DEATH IS ABANDONMENT BY THETA OF A LIFE ORGANISM OR RACE
OR SPECIES WHERE THESE CAN NO LONGER SERVE THETA IN ITS GOALS OF
INFINITE SURVIVAL.
AXIOM 39. THE REWARD OF AN ORGANISM ENGAGING UPON SURVIVAL
ACTIVITY IS PLEASURE.
AXIOM 40. THE PENALTY OF AN ORGANISM FAILING TO ENGAGE UPON
SURVIVAL ACTIVITY, OR ENGAGING IN NON-SURVIVAL ACTIVITY, IS PAIN.
AXIOM 41. THE CELL AND VIRUS ARE THE PRIMARY BUILDING BLOCKS OF
LIFE ORGANISMS.
AXIOM 42. THE VIRUS AND CELL ARE MATTER AND ENERGY ANIMATED AND
MOTIVATED IN SPACE AND TIME BY THETA.
AXIOM 43. THETA MOBILIZES THE VIRUS AND CELL IN COLONIAL
AGGREGATIONS TO INCREASE POTENTIAL MOTION AND ACCOMPLISH
EFFORT.
AXIOM 44. THE GOAL OF VIRUSES AND CELLS IS SURVIVAL IN SPACE
THROUGH TIME.
AXIOM 45. THE TOTAL MISSION OF HIGHER ORGANISMS, VIRUSES AND CELLS
IS THE SAME AS THAT OF THE VIRUS AND CELL.
AXIOM 46. COLONIAL AGGREGATIONS OF VIRUSES AND CELLS CAN BE
IMBUED WITH MORE THETA THAN THEY INHERENTLY CONTAINED.
Life Energy joins any group whether a group of organisms or group
of cells composing an organism. Here we have personal entity,
individuation, etc.
AXIOM 47. EFFORT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY LAMBDA ONLY THROUGH THE
CO-ORDINATION OF ITS PARTS TOWARD GOALS.
AXIOM 48. AN ORGANISM IS EQUIPPED TO BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY
A MIND.
AXIOM 49. THE PURPOSE OF THE MIND IS TO POSE AND RESOLVE PROBLEMS
RELATING TO SURVIVAL AND TO DIRECT THE EFFORT OF THE ORGANISM
ACCORDING TO THESE SOLUTIONS.
AXIOM 50. ALL PROBLEMS ARE POSED AND RESOLVED THROUGH ESTIMATIONS
OF EFFORT.
AXIOM 51. THE MIND CAN CONFUSE POSITION IN SPACE WITH POSITION IN
TIME. (COUNTER-EFFORTS PRODUCING ACTION PHRASES.)
AXIOM 52. AN ORGANISM PROCEEDING TOWARD SURVIVAL IS DIRECTED BY
THE MIND OF THAT ORGANISM IN THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF SURVIVAL EFFORT.
AXIOM 53. AN ORGANISM PROCEEDING TOWARD SUCCUMB IS DIRECTED BY THE
MIND OF THAT ORGANISM IN THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF DEATH.
AXIOM 54. SURVIVAL OF AN ORGANISM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
OVERCOMING OF EFFORTS OPPOSING ITS SURVIVAL.
(Note: Corollary for other dynamics.)
DEFINITION: DYNAMIC IS THE ABILITY TO TRANSLATE SOLUTIONS INTO
ACTION.
AXIOM 55. SURVIVAL EFFORT FOR AN ORGANISM INCLUDES THE DYNAMIC
THRUST BY THAT ORGANISM FOR THE SURVIVAL OF ITSELF, ITS
PROCREATION, ITS GROUP, ITS SUB-SPECIES, ITS SPECIES, ALL LIFE
ORGANISMS, MATERIAL UNIVERSE, THE LIFE STATIC AND, POSSIBLY, A
SUPREME BEING.
(Note: List of dynamics.)
AXIOM 56. THE CYCLE OF AN ORGANISM, A GROUP OF ORGANISMS OR A
SPECIES IS INCEPTION, GROWTH, RE-CREATION, DECAY AND DEATH.
AXIOM 57. THE EFFORT OF AN ORGANISM IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE
CONTROL OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL THE DYNAMICS.
AXIOM 58. CONTROL OF AN ENVIRONMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
SUPPORT OF PRO-SURVIVAL FACTORS ALONG ANY DYNAMIC.
AXIOM 59. ANY TYPE OF HIGHER ORGANISM IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
EVOLUTION OF VIRUSES AND CELLS INTO FORMS CAPABLE OF BETTER
EFFORTS TO CONTROL OR LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT.
AXIOM 60. THE USEFULNESS OF AN ORGANISM IS DETERMINED BY ITS
ABILITY TO CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT OR TO SUPPORT ORGANISMS WHICH
CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT.
AXIOM 61. AN ORGANISM IS REJECTED BY THETA TO THE DEGREE THAT IT
FAILS IN ITS GOALS.
AXIOM 62. HIGHER ORGANISMS CAN EXIST ONLY IN THE DEGREE THAT THEY
ARE SUPPORTED BY THE LOWER ORGANISMS.
AXIOM 63. THE USEFULNESS OF AN ORGANISM IS DETERMINED BY THE
ALIGNMENT OF ITS EFFORTS TOWARD SURVIVAL.
AXIOM 64. THE MIND PERCEIVES AND STORES ALL DATA OF THE
ENVIRONMENT AND ALIGNS OR FAILS TO ALIGN THESE ACCORDING TO THE
TIME THEY WERE PERCEIVED.
DEFINITION: A CONCLUSION IS THE THETA FACSIMILES OF A GROUP OF
COMBINED DATA.
DEFINITION: A DATUM IS A THETA FACSIMILE OF PHYSICAL ACTION.
AXIOM 65. THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE
PRESENT AND THE COMPARISON OF IT TO THE PERCEPTIONS AND
CONCLUSIONS OF THE PAST IN ORDER TO DIRECT ACTION IN THE
IMMEDIATE OR DISTANT FUTURE.
COROLLARY: THE ATTEMPT OF THOUGHT IS TO PERCEIVE REALITIES OF THE
PAST AND PRESENT IN ORDER TO PREDICT OR POSTULATE
REALITIES OF THE FUTURE.
AXIOM 66. THE PROCESS BY WHICH LIFE EFFECTS ITS CONQUEST OF THE
MATERIAL UNIVERSE CONSISTS IN THE CONVERSION OF THE
POTENTIAL EFFORT OF MATTER AND ENERGY IN SPACE AND THROUGH TIME
TO EFFECT WITH IT THE CONVERSION OF FURTHER MATTER AND ENERGY IN
SPACE AND THROUGH TIME.
AXIOM 67. THETA CONTAINS ITS OWN THETA UNIVERSE EFFORT WHICH
TRANSLATES INTO MEST EFFORT.
AXIOM 68. THE SINGLE ARBITRARY IN ANY ORGANISM IS TIME.
AXIOM 69. PHYSICAL UNIVERSE PERCEPTIONS AND EFFORTS ARE
RECEIVED BY AN ORGANISM AS FORCE WAVES, CONVERT BY
FACSIMILE INTO THETA AND ARE THUS STORED.
DEFINITION: RANDOMITY IS THE MIS-ALIGNMENT THROUGH THE
INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL EFFORTS BY OTHER FORMS OF LIFE OR THE
MATERIAL UNIVERSE OF THE EFFORTS OF AN ORGANISM, AND IS
IMPOSED ON THE PHYSICAL ORGANISM BY COUNTER-EFFORTS IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.
AXIOM 70. ANY CYCLE OF ANY LIFE ORGANISM IS FROM STATIC TO MOTION
TO STATIC.
AXIOM 71. THE CYCLE OF RANDOMITY IS FROM STATIC, THROUGH OPTIMUM,
THROUGH RANDOMITY SUFFICIENTLY REPETITIOUS OR SIMILAR TO
CONSTITUTE ANOTHER STATIC.
AXIOM 72. THERE ARE TWO SUB-DIVISIONS TO RANDOMITY: DATA
RANDOMITY AND FORCE RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 73. THE THREE DEGREES OF RANDOMITY CONSIST OF MINUS
RANDOMITY, OPTIMUM RANDOMITY AND PLUS RANDOMITY.
DEFINITION: RANDOMITY IS A COMPONENT FACTOR AND NECESSARY
PART OF MOTION, IF MOTION IS TO CONTINUE.
AXIOM 74. OPTIMUM RANDOMITY IS NECESSARY TO LEARNING.
AXIOM 75. THE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN ANY AREA OF RANDOMITY
ARE EFFORT AND COUNTER-EFFORT.
(Note: As distinguished from near-perceptions of effort.)
AXIOM 76. RANDOMITY AMONGST ORGANISMS IS VITAL TO
CONTINUOUS SURVIVAL OF ALL ORGANISMS.
AXIOM 77. THETA AFFECTS THE ORGANISM, OTHER ORGANISMS AND THE
PHYSICAL UNIVERSE BY TRANSLATING THETA FACSIMILES INTO PHYSICAL
EFFORTS OR RANDOMITY OF EFFORTS.
DEFINITION: THE DEGREE OF RANDOMITY IS MEASURED BY THE RANDOMNESS
OF EFFORT VECTORS WITHIN THE ORGANISM, AMONGST ORGANISMS, AMONGST
RACES OR SPECIES OF ORGANISMS OR BETWEEN ORGANISMS AND THE
PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 78. RANDOMITY BECOMES INTENSE IN INDIRECT RATIO TO THE TIME
IN WHICH IT TAKES PLACE, MODIFIED BY THE TOTAL EFFORT IN THE AREA.
AXIOM 79. INITIAL RANDOMITY CAN BE REINFORCED BY RANDOMITIES OF
GREATER OR LESSER MAGNITUDE.
AXIOM 80. AREAS OF RANDOMITY EXIST IN CHAINS OF SIMILARITY PLOTTED
AGAINST TIME. THIS CAN BE TRUE OF WORDS AND ACTIONS CONTAINED IN
RANDOMITIES. EACH MAY HAVE ITS OWN CHAIN PLOTTED AGAINST TIME.
AXIOM 81. SANITY CONSISTS OF OPTIMUM RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 82. ABERRATION EXISTS TO THE DEGREE THAT PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY EXISTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OR PAST DATA OF AN ORGANISM,
GROUP OR SPECIES, MODIFIED BY THE ENDOWED SELF-DETERMINISM OF THAT
ORGANISM, GROUP OR SPECIES.
AXIOM 83. THE SELF-DETERMINISM OF AN ORGANISM IS DETERMINED BY ITS
THETA ENDOWMENT, MODIFIED BY MINUS OR PLUS RANDOMITY IN ITS
ENVIRONMENT OR ITS EXISTENCE.
AXIOM 84. THE SELF-DETERMINISM OF AN ORGANISM IS INCREASED BY
OPTIMUM RANDOMITY OF COUNTER-EFFORTS.
AXIOM 85. THE SELF-DETERMINISM OF AN ORGANISM IS REDUCED BY PLUS
OR MINUS RANDOMITY OF COUNTER-EFFORTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
AXIOM 86. RANDOMITY CONTAINS BOTH THE RANDOMNESS OF
EFFORTS AND THE VOLUME OF EFFORTS.
(Note: An area of randomity can have a great deal of confusion
but, without volume of energy, the confusion itself is negligible.)
AXIOM 87. THAT COUNTER-EFFORT IS MOST ACCEPTABLE TO AN ORGANISM
WHICH MOST CLOSELY APPEARS TO ASSIST ITS ACCOMPLISHMENT
OF ITS GOAL.
AXIOM 88. AN AREA OF SEVERE PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY CAN OCCLUDE
DATA ON ANY OF THE SUBJECTS OF THAT PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY
WHICH TOOK PLACE IN A PRIOR TIME.
(Note: Shut-off mechanisms of earlier lives, perceptics, specific
incidents, etc.)
AXIOM 89. RESTIMULATION OF PLUS, MINUS OR OPTIMUM RANDOMITY CAN
PRODUCE INCREASED PLUS, MINUS OR OPTIMUM RANDOMITY
RESPECTIVELY IN THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 90. AN AREA OF RANDOMITY CAN ASSUME SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE SO
AS TO APPEAR TO THE ORGANISM AS PAIN, ACCORDING TO ITS GOALS.
AXIOM 91. PAST RANDOMITY CAN IMPOSE ITSELF UPON THE PRESENT
ORGANISM AS THETA FACSIMILES.
AXIOM 92. THE ENGRAM IS A SEVERE AREA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY
OF SUFFICIENT VOLUME TO CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
AXIOM 93. UNCONSCIOUSNESS IS AN EXCESS OF RANDOMITY IMPOSED BY A
COUNTER-EFFORT OF SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CLOUD THE AWARENESS AND
DIRECT FUNCTION OF THE ORGANISM THROUGH THE MIND'S CONTROL CENTER.
AXIOM 94. ANY COUNTER-EFFORT WHICH MIS-ALIGNS THE ORGANISM'S
COMMAND OF ITSELF OR ITS ENVIRONMENT ESTABLISHES PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY OR, IF OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE, IS AN ENGRAM.
AXIOM 95. PAST ENGRAMS ARE RESTIMULATED BY THE CONTROL CENTER'S
PERCEPTION OP CIRCUMSTANCES SIMILAR TO THAT ENGRAM IN THE PRESENT
ENVIRONMENT.
AXIOM 96. AN ENGRAM IS A THETA FACSIMILE OP ATOMS AND MOLECULES
IN MISALIGNMENT.
AXIOM 97. ENGRAMS FIX EMOTIONAL RESPONSE AS THAT EMOTIONAL
RESPONSE OF THE ORGANISM DURING THE RECEIPT OF THE COUNTER-EFFORT.
AXIOM 98. FREE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE DEPENDS ON OPTIMUM RANDOMITY.
IT DEPENDS UPON ABSENCE OF OR NON-RESTIMULATION OF ENGRAMS.
AXIOM 99. THETA FACSIMILES CAN RECOMBINE INTO NEW SYMBOLS.
AXIOM 100. LANGUAGE IS THE SYMBOLIZATION OF EFFORT.
AXIOM 101. LANGUAGE DEPENDS FOR ITS FORCE UPON THE FORCE WHICH
ACCOMPANIED ITS DEFINITION.
(Note: Counter-effort, not language, is aberrative.)
AXIOM 102. THE ENVIRONMENT CAN OCCLUDE THE CENTRAL CONTROL OF ANY
ORGANISM AND ASSUME CONTROL OF THE MOTOR CONTROLS OF THAT
ORGANISM. (ENGRAM, RESTIMULATION, LOCKS, HYPNOTISM.)
AXIOM 103. INTELLIGENCE DEPENDS ON THE ABILITY TO SELECT ALIGNED
OR MISALIGNED DATA FROM AN AREA OF RANDOMITY AND SO DISCOVER A
SOLUTION TO REDUCE ALL RANDOMITY IN THAT AREA.
AXIOM 104. PERSISTENCE OBTAINS IN THE ABILITY OF THE MIND TO PUT
SOLUTIONS INTO PHYSICAL ACTION TOWARD THE REALIZATION OF GOALS.
AXIOM 105. AN UNKNOWN DATUM CAN PRODUCE DATA OF PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 106. THE INTRODUCTION OF AN ARBITRARY FACTOR OR FORCE
WITHOUT RECOURSE TO NATURAL LAWS OF THE BODY OR THE AREA INTO
WHICH THE ARBITRARY IS INTRODUCED BRINGS ABOUT PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 107. DATA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY DEPENDS FOR ITS
CONFUSION ON FORMER PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY OR ABSENT DATA.
AXIOM 108. EFFORTS WHICH ARE INHIBITED OR COMPELLED BY
EXTERIOR EFFORTS EFFECT A PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY OF EFFORTS.
AXIOM 109. BEHAVIOR IS MODIFIED BY COUNTER-EFFORTS
WHICH HAVE IMPINGED ON THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 110. THE COMPONENT PARTS OF THETA ARE AFFINITY, REALITY,
AND COMMUNICATION.
AXIOM 111. SELF-DETERMINISM CONSISTS OF MAXIMAL AFFINITY, REALITY
AND COMMUNICATION.
AXIOM 112. AFFINITY IS THE COHESION OF THETA.
Affinity manifests itself as the recognition of similarity of
efforts and goals amongst organisms by those organisms.
AXIOM 113. REALITY IS THE AGREEMENT UPON PERCEPTIONS AND DATA IN
THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
All that we can be sure is real is that on which we have agreed
is real. Agreement is the essence of reality.
AXIOM 114. COMMUNICATION IS THE INTERCHANGE OF PERCEPTION
THROUGH THE MATERIAL UNIVERSE BETWEEN ORGANISMS OR THE PERCEPTION OF THE MATERIAL UNIVERSE BY SENSE CHANNELS.
AXIOM 115. SELF-DETERMINISM IS THE THETA CONTROL OF THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 116. A SELF-DETERMINED EFFORT IS THAT COUNTER-EFFORT WHICH
HAS BEEN RECEIVED INTO THE ORGANISM IN THE PAST AND INTEGRATED
INTO THE ORGANISM FOR ITS CONSCIOUS USE.
AXIOM 117. THE COMPONENTS OF SELF-DETERMINISM ARE AFFINITY,
COMMUNICATION AND REALITY.
Self-determinism is manifested along each dynamic.
AXIOM 118. AN ORGANISM CANNOT BECOME ABERRATED UNLESS IT HAS
AGREED UPON THAT ABERRATION, HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH A
SOURCE OF ABERRATION, AND HAS HAD AFFINITY FOR THE ABERRATOR.
AXIOM 119. AGREEMENT WITH ANY SOURCE, CONTRA- OR PRO-SURVIVAL,
POSTULATES A NEW REALITY FOR THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 120. NON-SURVIVAL COURSES, THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. REQUIRE
NON-OPTIMUM EFFORT.
AXIOM 121. EVERY THOUGHT HAS BEEN PRECEDED BY PHYSICAL ACTION.
AXIOM 122. THE MIND DOES WITH THOUGHT AS IT HAS DONE WITH
ENTITLES IN THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 123. ALL EFFORT CONCERNED WITH PAIN IS CONCERNED WITH LOSS.
Organisms hold pain and engrams to them as a latent effort to
prevent loss of some portion of the organism.
All loss is a loss of motion.
AXIOM 124. THE AMOUNT OF COUNTER-EFFORT THE ORGANISM CAN OVERCOME
IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE THETA ENDOWMENT OF THE ORGANISM, MODIFIED
BY THE PHYSIQUE OF THAT ORGANISM.
AXIOM 125. EXCESSIVE COUNTER-EFFORT TO THE EFFORT OF A LIFE
ORGANISM PRODUCES UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
COROLLARY: UNCONSCIOUSNESS GIVES THE SUPPRESSION OF AN ORGANISM'S
CONTROL CENTER BY COUNTER-EFFORT.
DEFINITION: THE CONTROL CENTER OP THE ORGANISM CAN BE DEFINED AS
THE CONTACT POINT BETWEEN THETA AND THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE AND IS
THAT CENTER WHICH IS AWARE OF BEING AWARE AND WHICH HAS CHARGE OF
AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ORGANISM ALONG ALL ITS DYNAMICS.
AXIOM 126. PERCEPTIONS ARE ALWAYS RECEIVED IN THE CONTROL CENTER
OF AN ORGANISM WHETHER THE CONTROL CENTER IS IN CONTROL OF THE
ORGANISM AT THE TIME OR NOT.
This is an explanation for the assumption of valences.
AXIOM 127. ALL PERCEPTIONS REACHING THE ORGANISM'S SENSE
CHANNELS ARE RECORDED AND STORED BY THETA FACSIMILE.
DEFINITION: PERCEPTION IS THE PROCESS OF RECORDING DATA FROM THE
PHYSICAL UNIVERSE AND STORING IT AS A THETA FACSIMILE.
DEFINITION: RECALL IS THE PROCESS OF REGAINING PERCEPTIONS.
AXIOM 128. ANY ORGANISM CAN RECALL EVERYTHING WHICH
IT HAS PERCEIVED.
AXIOM 129. AN ORGANISM DISPLACED BY PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY IS
THEREAFTER REMOTE FROM THE PERCEPTION RECORDING CENTER.
Increased remoteness brings about occlusions of perceptions. One
can perceive things in present time and then, because they
are being recorded after they passed Theta perception of the
awareness unit, they are recorded but cannot be recalled.
AXIOM 130. THETA FACSIMILES OF COUNTER-EFFORT ARE ALL THAT
INTERPOSE BETWEEN THE CONTROL CENTER AND ITS RECALLS.
AXIOM 131. ANY COUNTER-EFFORT RECEIVED INTO A CONTROL
CENTER IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY ALL PERCEPTICS.
AXIOM 132. THE RANDOM COUNTER-EFFORTS TO AN ORGANISM AND
THE INTERMINGLED PERCEPTIONS IN THE RANDOMITY CAN RE-EXERT THAT
FORCE UPON AN ORGANISM WHEN RESTIMULATED.
DEFINITION: RESTIMULATION IS THE REACTIVATION OF A PAST
COUNTER-EFFORT BY APPEARANCE IN THE ORGANISM'S ENVIRONMENT OF A
SIMILARITY TOWARD THE CONTENT OF THE PAST RANDOMITY AREA.
AXIOM 133. SELF-DETERMINISM ALONE BRINGS ABOUT THE MECHANISM OF
RESTIMULATION.
AXIOM 134. A REACTIVATED AREA OP THE PAST RANDOMITY IMPINGES THE
EFFORT AND THE PERCEPTIONS UPON THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 135. ACTIVATION OF A RANDOMITY AREA IS ACCOMPLISHED
FIRST BY THE PERCEPTIONS, THEN BY THE PAIN, FINALLY BY THE EFFORT.
AXIOM 136. THE MIND IS PLASTICALLY CAPABLE OF RECORDING ALL
EFFORTS AND COUNTER-EFFORTS.
AXIOM 137. A COUNTER-EFFORT ACCOMPANIED BY SUFFICIENT (ENRANDOMED)
FORCE IMPRESSES THE FACSIMILE OF THE COUNTER-EFFORT PERSONALITY
INTO THE MIND OF AN ORGANISM.
AXIOM 138. ABERRATION IS THE DEGREE OF RESIDUAL PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY ACCUMULATED BY COMPELLING, INHIBITING, OR UNWARRANTED
ASSISTING OF EFFORTS ON THE PART OF OTHER ORGANISMS OR THE
PHYSICAL (MATERIAL) UNIVERSE.
Aberration is caused by what is done to the individual, not what
the individual does, plus his self-determinism about what has been
done to him.
AXIOM 139. ABERRATED BEHAVIOR CONSISTS OF DESTRUCTIVE EFFORT
TOWARD PRO-SURVIVAL DATA OR ENTITIES ON ANY DYNAMIC, OR EFFORT
TOWARD THE SURVIVAL OF CONTRA-SURVIVAL DATA OR ENTITLES FOR ANY
DYNAMIC.
AXIOM 140. A VALENCE IS A FACSIMILE PERSONALITY MADE CAPABLE OF
FORCE BY THE COUNTER-EFFORT OF THE MOMENT OR RECEIPT INTO THE
PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Valences are assistive, compulsive or inhibitive to the organism.
A CONTROL CENTER IS NOT A VALENCE.
AXIOM 141. A CONTROL CENTER EFFORT IS ALIGNED TOWARD A GOAL
THROUGH DEFINITE SPACE AS A RECOGNIZED INCIDENT IN TIME.
AXIOM 142. AN ORGANISM IS AS HEALTHY AND SANE AS IT IS
SELF-DETERMINED.
The environmental control of the organism motor-controls inhibits
the organism's ability to change with the changing environment,
since the organism will attempt to carry forward with one set of
responses when it needs by self-determinism to create another to
survive in another environment.
AXIOM 143. ALL LEARNING IS ACCOMPLISHED BY RANDOM EFFORT.
AXIOM 144. A COUNTER-EFFORT PRODUCING SUFFICIENT PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY TO RECORD IS RECORDED WITH AN INDEX OF SPACE AND TIME
AS HIDDEN AS THE REMAINDER OF ITS CONTENT.
AXIOM 145. A COUNTER-EFFORT PRODUCING SUFFICIENT PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY WHEN ACTIVATED BY RESTIMULATION EXERTS ITSELF AGAINST
THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE ORGANISM WITHOUT REGARD TO SPACE AND TIME,
EXCEPT REACTIVATED PERCEPTIONS.
AXIOM 146. COUNTER-EFFORTS ARE DIRECTED OUT FROM THE ORGANISM
UNTIL THEY ARE FURTHER ENRANDOMED BY THE ENVIRON AT WHICH TIME
THEY ACTIVATE AGAINST THE CONTROL CENTER.
AXIOM 148. PHYSICAL LAWS ARE LEARNED BY LIFE ENERGY EFFECTIVELY
ONLY SO LONG AS INSUFFICIENT PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY EXISTS TO
HIDE DIFFERENTIATION OF THE FACSIMILES CREATED.
AXIOM 148. PHYSICAL LAWS ARE LEARNED BY LIFE ENERGY ONLY BY
IMPINGEMENT OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE PRODUCING RANDOMITY, AND A
WITHDRAWAL FROM THAT IMPINGEMENT.
AXIOM 149. LIFE DEPENDS UPON AN ALIGNMENT OF FORCE VECTORS IN THE
DIRECTION OF SURVIVAL AND THE NULLIFICATION OF FORCE VECTORS IN
THE DIRECTION OF SUCCUMB IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
COROLLARY: LIFE DEPENDS UPON AN ALIGNMENT OF FORCE VECTORS IN THE
DIRECTION OF SUCCUMB AND THE NULLIFICATION OF FORCE VECTORS IN THE
DIRECTION OF SURVIVE IN ORDER TO SUCCUMB.
AXIOM 150. ANY AREA OF RANDOMITY GATHERS TO IT SITUATIONS
SIMILAR TO IT WHICH DO NOT CONTAIN ACTUAL EFFORTS BUT ONLY
PERCEPTION.
AXIOM 151. WHETHER AN ORGANISM HAS THE GOAL OF SURVIVING OR
SUCCUMBING DEPENDS UPON THE AMOUNT OF PLUS OR MINUS
RANDOMITY IT HAS REACTIVATED. (NOT RESIDUAL.)
AXIOM 152. SURVIVAL IS ACCOMPLISHED ONLY BY MOTION.
AXIOM 153. IN THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE THE ABSENCE OF MOTION IS
VANISHMENT.
AXIOM 154. DEATH IS THE EQUIVALENT TO LIFE OF TOTAL LACK OF
LIFE-MOTIVATED MOTION.
AXIOM 155. ACQUISITION OF PRO-SURVIVAL MATTER AND ENERGY OR
ORGANISMS IN SPACE AND TIME MEANS INCREASED MOTION.
AXIOM 156. LOSS OF PRO-SURVIVAL MATTER AND ENERGY OR ORGANISMS
IN SPACE AND TIME MEANS DECREASED MOTION.
AXIOM 157. ACQUISITION OR PROXIMITY OF MATTER, ENERGY OR ORGANISMS
WHICH ASSIST THE SURVIVAL OF AN ORGANISM INCREASE THE SURVIVAL
POTENTIALS OF AN ORGANISM.
AXIOM 158. ACQUISITION OR PROXIMITY OF MATTER, ENERGY OR ORGANISMS
WHICH INHIBIT THE SURVIVAL OF AN ORGANISM DECREASE ITS SURVIVAL
POTENTIAL.
AXIOM 159. GAIN OF SURVIVAL ENERGY, MATTER OR ORGANISMS
INCREASES THE FREEDOM OF AN ORGANISM.
AXIOM 160. RECEIPT OR PROXIMITY OF NON-SURVIVAL ENERGY, MATTER OR
TIME DECREASES THE FREEDOM OF MOTION OF AN ORGANISM.
AXIOM 161. THE CONTROL CENTER ATTEMPTS THE HALTING OR
LENGTHENING OF TIME, THE EXPANSION OR CONTRACTION OF SPACE AND
THE DECREASE OR INCREASE OF ENERGY AND MATTER.
This is a primary source of invalidation, and it is also a primary
source of aberration.
AXIOM 162. PAIN IS THE BALK OF EFFORT BY COUNTER-EFFORT IN GREAT
INTENSITY, WHETHER THAT EFFORT IS TO REMAIN AT REST OR IN MOTION.
AXIOM 163. PERCEPTION, INCLUDING PAIN, CAN BE EXHAUSTED FROM AN
AREA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY, STILL LEAVING THE EFFORT AND
COUNTER-EFFORT OF THAT PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 164. THE RATIONALITY OF THE MIND DEPENDS UPON AN OPTIMUM
REACTION TOWARD TIME.
DEFINITION: SANITY, THE COMPUTATION OF FUTURES.
DEFINITION: NEUROTIC, THE COMPUTATION OF PRESENT TIME ONLY.
DEFINITION: PSYCHOTIC, COMPUTATION ONLY OF PAST SITUATIONS.
AXIOM 165. SURVIVAL PERTAINS ONLY TO THE FUTURE.
COROLLARY: SUCCUMB PERTAINS ONLY TO THE PRESENT AND PAST.
AXIOM 166. AN INDIVIDUAL IS AS HAPPY AS HE CAN PERCEIVE SURVIVAL
POTENTIALS IN THE FUTURE.
AXIOM 167. AS THE NEEDS OF ANY ORGANISM ARE MET IT RISES HIGHER
AND HIGHER IN ITS EFFORTS ALONG THE DYNAMICS.
An organism which achieves ARC with itself can better achieve ARC
with sex in the future; having achieved this it can achieve ARC
with groups; having achieved this, it can achieve ARC with
mankind, etc.
AXIOM 168. AFFINITY, REALITY AND COMMUNICATION CO-EXIST IN AN
INEXTRICABLE RELATIONSHIP.
The co-existent relationship between affinity, reality and
communication is such that none can be increased without
increasing the other two and none can be decreased without
decreasing the other two.
AXIOM 169. ANY AESTHETIC PRODUCT IS A SYMBOLIC FACSIMILE OR
COMBINATION OF FACSIMILES OF THETA OR PHYSICAL UNIVERSES IN VARIED
RANDOMITIES AND VOLUMES OF RANDOMITIES WITH THE
INTERPLAY OF TONES.
AXIOM 170. AN AESTHETIC PRODUCT IS AN INTERPRETATION OF THE
UNIVERSES BY AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP MIND.
AXIOM 171. DELUSION IS THE POSTULATION BY THE IMAGINATION OF
OCCURRENCES IN AREAS OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 172. DREAMS ARE THE IMAGINATIVE RECONSTRUCTION OF
AREAS OF RANDOMITY OR THE RE-SYMBOLIZATION OF THE EFFORTS
OF THETA.
AXIOM 173. A MOTION IS CREATED BY THE DEGREE OF OPTIMUM
RANDOMITY INTRODUCED BY THE COUNTER-EFFORT TO AN
ORGANISM'S EFFORT.
AXIOM 174. MEST WHICH HAS BEEN MOBILIZED BY LIFE FORMS IS IN MORE
AFFINITY WITH LIFE ORGANISMS THAN NON-MOBILIZED MEST.
AXIOM 175. ALL PAST PERCEPTION, CONCLUSION AND EXISTENCE
MOMENTS, INCLUDING THOSE OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY, ARE
RECOVERABLE TO THE CONTROL CENTER OF THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 176. THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE SURVIVAL EFFORT ON THE PART
OF AN ORGANISM IS AFFECTED BY THE DEGREES OF RANDOMITY
EXISTING IN ITS PAST. (THIS INCLUDES LEARNING.)
AXIOM 177. AREAS OF PAST PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY CAN BE
READDRESSED BY THE CONTROL CENTER OF AN ORGANISM AND THE
PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY EXHAUSTED.
AXIOM 178. THE EXHAUSTION OF PAST PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITIES
PERMITS THE CONTROL CENTER OF AN ORGANISM TO EFFECT ITS OWN
EFFORTS TOWARD SURVIVAL GOALS.
AXIOM 179. THE EXHAUSTION OF SELF-DETERMINED EFFORT FROM A PAST
AREA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY NULLIFIES THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THAT AREA.
AXIOM 180. PAIN IS THE RANDOMITY PRODUCED BY SUDDEN OR
STRONG COUNTER-EFFORTS.
AXIOM 181. PAIN IS STORED AS PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY.
AXIOM 182. PAIN, AS AN AREA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY, CAN
RE-INFLICT ITSELF UPON THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 183. PAST PAIN BECOMES INEFFECTIVE UPON THE ORGANISM WHEN
THE RANDOMITY OF ITS AREA IS ADDRESSED AND ALIGNED.
AXIOM 184. THE EARLIER THE AREA OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY, THE
GREATER SELF-PRODUCED EFFORT EXISTED TO REPEL IT.
AXIOM 185. LATER AREAS OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY CANNOT BE
RE-ALIGNED EASILY UNTIL EARLIER AREAS ARE RE-ALIGNED.
AXIOM 186. AREAS OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY BECOME
INCREASED IN ACTIVITY WHEN PERCEPTIONS OF SIMILARITY ARE
INTRODUCED INTO THEM.
AXIOM 187. PAST AREAS OF PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY CAN BE
REDUCED AND ALIGNED BY ADDRESS TO THEM IN PRESENT TIME.
AXIOM 188. ABSOLUTE GOOD AND ABSOLUTE EVIL DO NOT EXIST IN
THE MEST UNIVERSE.
AXIOM 189. THAT WHICH IS GOOD FOR AN ORGANISM MAY BE
DEFINED AS THAT WHICH PROMOTES THE SURVIVAL OF THAT
ORGANISM.
COROLLARY: EVIL MAY BE DEFINED AS THAT WHICH INHIBITS OR
BRINGS PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY INTO THE ORGANISM, WHICH IS
CONTRARY TO THE SURVIVAL MOTIVES OF THE ORGANISM.
AXIOM 190. HAPPINESS CONSISTS IN THE ACT OF BRINGING
ALIGNMENT INTO HITHERTO RESISTING PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY.
NEITHER THE ACT OR ACTION OF ATTAINING SURVIVAL, NOR THE
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THIS ACT ITSELF, BRINGS ABOUT HAPPINESS.
AXIOM 191. CONSTRUCTION IS AN ALIGNMENT OF DATA.

Advanced Procedure and Axioms, 1951
SCALES
A graduated series or scheme of rank or order.
A graded series of tests or of performances used in rating
individual intelligence or achievement.
Webster's Seventh New Collegiate
The term "gradient scale" can be applied to anything, and
means a scale of condition graduated from zero to infinity.
Depending on the direction in which the scale is graduated, there
could be an infinity of wrongness or an infinity of rightness.
Absolutes are considered unobtainable.
The difference between one point on these scales and
another point could be as different or as wide as the entire range
of the scale itself, or it could be so tiny as to need the most
minute discernment for its establishment.
Life in its highest state (top of the scale) is understanding.
Life in its lower states is in a lower level of understanding.
Understanding is composed of Affinity, Reality and
Communication. This triangle tells us that the co-existent
relationship between affinity, reality and communication is such
that none can be increased without a resulting increase in the
other two and none can be decreased without decreasing the other
two. Of the three, communication is by far the most important.
Affinity and reality exist to further communication. Under
the heading of affinity we have, for instance, all the varied
emotions which go from apathy at 0.1 through grief, fear, anger,
antagonism, boredom, enthusiasm, exhilaration and serenity
in that order. It is affinity and this rising scale of the
characteristics of emotion which give us the Tone Scale.
The characteristics and potentiality of the top of the scale or
near the top are unbounded creation, outflow, certainty, certainty
of awareness, going-awayness, explosion, holding apart,
spreading apart, letting go, reaching, goals of a causative nature,
widening space, freedom from time, separateness, differentiation,
givingness of sensation, vaporizingness, glowingness,
lightness, whiteness,
desolidifyingness, total awareness, total understanding, total
ARC.
The bottom of the scale and the vicinity around it includes
death, inflow, certainty (of unawareness), coming-backness,
implosion, letting-come-together, pulling together, holding
together, withdrawing, effect goals (ambition to be an effect
rather than a cause), contracting space, no time or
infinite time in a moment, connectingness, identification,
identity, receivingness of sensation, condensation, blackness,
solidification, no awareness, no understanding, no ARC.
The various characteristics or intentions are observable for
any dynamic and any universe.
Between these two extremes is the mean of action where
complete freedom to do any of these things of the top or bottom of
the scale is exercised. Therefore, somewhere between 3.5 on the
Tone Scale and 36.5, there is action.
Wherever you find an individual on any of the following
scales, that is his level of ARC. As a person goes up scale in
auditing, he goes up scale on gradients of ARC.
THE TONE SCALE, 1950
4.0 Cheerfulness 3.0 Conservatism 2.5 Boredom 2.0 Antagonism 1.5 Anger (Overt Hostility) 1.1 Covert Hostility 1.0 Fear 0.5 Grief 0.2 Apathy
EMOTION AND AFFINITY SCALE
The emotional scale refers to
the subjective feelings of the individual; the affinity scale refers to his
relation with other people. The affinity scale may refer, at any particular
time, to just one, or to a small number of people. But as affinity is suppressed
repeatedly, the individual will begin to take on an habitual tone level on the
affinity scale, an habitual reaction to almost all people.
Emotion Affinity
Tone 4
Eagerness
-- exhilaration Love -- strong, outgoing
3.5 Strong interest Friendliness
Mild interest Tentative advances
Tone 3
Content Tolerance without much
outgoing action -- acceptance
of advances offered
2.5 Indifference Neglect of person or people
Boredom Dislike, attempts to get away
from them
Tone 2
Expressed resentment Antagonism 1.5 Anger Hate, violent and expressed
Unexpressed resentment Covert hostility
Tone 1
Fear Acute shyness, propitiation,
withdrawal from people
0.5 Grief Supplication, pleas for pity,
desperate attempts to win
support
Apathy Complete withdrawal from
person or people -- no attempt
to contact
Notes on the Lectures, 1950
REALITY
AND COMMUNICATION SCALE
The reality scale refers to the individual's hold on reality and his agreement with others on what reality is. Reality breaks are actually disagreements on reality, usually resulting only from a different viewpoint and not from actual differences in reality itself. The communication scale refers to the individual's ability to communicate with other people.
Reality Communication
Tone 4
Search for different viewpoints Ability to communicate and changes in reality completely, withholding in order to broaden own nothing; ability to create reality -- complete flexibility and construct through in understanding, relating and conversation evaluating different realities
3.5
Ability to understand, relates Swift exchange of and evaluate reality, deep-seated, regardless of change or difference deeply felt beliefs in viewpoint, moderate and ideas flexibility in realities brought to view without eager search for new ones
Attempts to reconcile own Tentative expression of reality with conflicting reality limited number of personal -- limited flexibility beliefs and ideas
Tone 3
Awareness of possible validity Casual exchange of of different reality (viewpoint) superficial chatter without relating it to own reality
2.5
Indifference to conflicting Indifference to communication
reality -- "Maybe -- who of others -- "Let's not
cares?" attitude argue about it" attitude --
dismissal of communication
if toward environment, not
trying to get perceptics clear
Refusal to match two realities Refusal to accept communication
rejection of conflicting of other person (or
reality "So what?" attitude environment) -- turning to
other sources of communication
Tone 2
Verbal doubt -- defense of Indirect pot-shooting, nagging, own reality, attempts to nasty cracks, invalidating undermine others other person or situation
1.5
Destruction of opposing Shutting off other person's reality, wrecking or changing communication, destruction of it, knocking out props from it -- "Shut up!" "Drop it!" other person's reality -- "You're wrong!" attitude. If reality is environmental, destruction is accomplished only through change
Doubt of opposing reality, Stubborn silence, sulking, non-verbal disbelief, refusal refusal to communicate further, to accept disbelief, refusal to rejection of attempted accept conflicting reality communication by others without trying to fight back
Tone 1
Doubt of own reality -- Lying to avoid real
insecurity; attempts to gain communication; can take the
reassurance; if reality is form of pretended agreement,
environmental -- appeasement flattery or verbal
of gods or elements appeasements; or simply a
false picture of person's
feelings and ideas, false
facade, artificial personality
0.5
Shame, anxiety, strong doubt Evasiveness to avoid
of own reality with consequent communication; hiding person's
inability to act within it, must own thoughts and feelings;
be told what to do if person is superficial communication
to act at all, afraid to act built on accepted standards
himself since he has no way to without relation to person's
assess consequences real feelings; or schizoid
secrecy
Complete withdrawal from Inability to communicate, conflicting reality; refusal to completely unresponsive test own reality against conflicting one; Locked in own rigid reality -- psychotic

In
any particular situation two or three of the above patterns will
predominate. Usually the behavior and physiological patterns will be involved in
any suppressor action. The speed at which the organism descends the tone scale
varies widely. It may be arrested at any point, it may stay within one level for
a long period of time before descending, or it may proceed so rapidly that the
individual is unconscious almost before he realizes a suppressor is acting.

HCOB 25 Sept. 1971RA DEI TO CDEI The original scale
4.0 Desire 1.5 Enforce .5 Inhibit Was expanded in 1952 to
Curiosity
Desire
Enforce
Inhibit
In 1959 I found another vital point on this scale which
gives us a new case entrance point --
Curiosity
Desire
Enforce
Inhibit
Unknown
(Suspecting also that "Wait" fits between Unknown and Inhibit)
To Make these agree in intention, they would become
Interest Desire Enforce Inhibit Unknow This scale also is found to invert -- similar to the Dynamics, and below sanity on any subject. Thus: Unknow Inhibit Enforce Desire Interest These points, particularly on the inverted scale, going down, are lowered by failure. Each lower step is an explanation to justify having failed with the upper level. One seeks to not know something and fails. One then seeks to inhibit it and fails. Therefore one seeks to enforce it and fails. Thus one explains by desiring it and fails. And not really being able to have it, shows thereafter an obsessive interest in it. The above inversion is of course all reactive. A later expansion of the scale gives us:
K Know
U Unknow
C Curious
D Desire
E Enforce
I Inhibit
O Absence of ("No.....")
F Falsify
STANDARD TECH USE
The old DEI cycle gives us an important tool used in today's standard technology
for Level III, the handling of ARC Breaks. An "ARCU -- CDEI" assessment uses:
A Affinity R Reality C Communication U Understanding In conjunction with C Curious about....... D Desired....... E Enforced....... I Inhibited.......
This is part of the Level III tech of R (Routine) 3H.
It works like a bomb.

HCO Bulletin of 2 February 1961
EFFECT SCALE (1)
Two Rules for Happy Living:
1. BE ABLE TO
EXPERIENCE ANYTHING.
2. CAUSE ONLY THOSE THINGS WHICH
OTHERS CAN
EXPERIENCE
EASILY.
Scientology: A New Slant on Life
The way a preclear receives an effect
(effect tolerable on self) and the way he acts toward
others, including the auditor (effect believed
necessary on others) can be observed by an auditor and
used to spot the preclear's Tone level, either chronic
or temporary, on any or ill dynamics.
These are some examples of what might be
observed at different Tone levels.
ENTHUSIASM
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF: Can
receive large effects on self (the man who loses his fortune and bounces back).
He is willing to receive other people's opinions, can accept large changes, he
knows he has had a case change and is willing to change. He can accept defeats
and will persist. Does not compulsively prevent effect on self.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
He has considerable ability to create effects on others but is not under
compulsion to create effects, he is not compelled to affect other people's
lives, he grants beingness, can tolerate differences in people.
CONSERVATISM
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Not very willing to receive effects that change the status quo. Not willing to
be questioned on some subjects, not willing to have other people's attention
directed to him such as being pointed out in a crowd, wearing outstanding
clothes, etc.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Believes effects which preserve the status quo are necessary. Somewhat cautious
about creating an effect, withholds those things he thinks might hurt your
feelings, or that you might not approve of.
Believes he should not create too much effect but should be "one of
the crowd". Should respect the privacy of others.
BOREDOM
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Will receive any effect which produces a pleasant randomity, wants to be
entertained but otherwise doesn't like to be shifted. Can't be bothered with
most ideas and puts off any action.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Doesn't need to do anything about anything, no compulsion to do or not to do (no
action either).
ANTAGONISM
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Can tolerate effect on self up to a point. May be critical of changes, resent
things happening to him. Doesn't want to be the effect of certain things,
others' opinions, actions, etc., and hurls back these effects from self by being
critical.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Feels he must make others the recipient of the; own effects, compulsively must
threaten others to protect self.
ANGER
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Can't receive an effect on self and is fighting to ensure this. PC stuck in an
anger incident may manifest this in his inability to receive changes, affinity,
others' reality, communication, etc.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Must destroy anything that tries to create effect on him.
COVERTNESS
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Cannot tolerate much effect on self. Tries to slip out of being an effect by
covert means. Gives the impression of taking an order, etc., while holding a
destructive intent, and no intention to actually do it.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Believes a large effect is necessary to handle others, is incapable of doing
this in any other than a covert way. Must cause an effect but is unwilling to be
known as the cause of bad effects. If accused of having created bad effects he
will claim his intention was good. This PC will make excuses, will make all
sorts of "conditions" in doing a process, will try to give an answer
that will satisfy the auditor, without actually doing the command.
FEAR
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
This person can take so little effect that he runs from the slightest thing,
jumps at a door slam, etc.
A PC in FEAR will manifest this by stiffness, leaning back in his chair,
whistling during a session (whistling in the dark), he may turn pale, shake,
cold sweat, avoid answering questions, squirm, laugh nervously, try to get out
of session, etc.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Believes the effect he would have to create to overcome those things which
overwhelm him is huge -- so huge that he would rather go elsewhere than confront
it. May make a lot of logical excuses to get out of being an effect (going
upscale to covertness).
PROPITIATION
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Very little, does "favors" to protect himself against bad effects.
Will try to appease the auditor to avoid continuing the process.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Propitiative actions.
GRIEF
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Tolerable effect would be the acquisition of tokens of a better time. PC with
grief "just under the surface" may not be able to tolerate direct
questioning on his problem without getting a lump in his throat or being brought
to tears. Someone else's grief might be enough effect to cause him to cry. A
rough word might not be tolerable.
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Believes that a large effect would have to be created to overcome his
overwhelming opposition, but the idea of creating an effect on others produces
the idea of loss and though he must create vast effects, he is very close to the
idea that he cannot create ANY effect, thus the only thing he can do about it is
cry.
APATHY
EFFECT TOLERABLE ON SELF:
Can accept even less effect here. This is the "no effect case".
Believes that everything is useless anyway, therefore nothing could make any
difference on him. He will tell you that nothing is workable (apathetically).
EFFECT BELIEVED NECESSARY ON OTHERS:
Believes that an infinite amount of effect must be created to get anything done.
(That's why he is in apathy.)

human behavior at the above tone levels, study Science of Survival with the
Chart of Human Evaluation by L. Ron Hubbard. Learn also the Hubbard
Chart of Attitudes (accompanies Handbook for Preclears) by L. Ron
Hubbard).
The above chart of correlations applies in two ways:
(1) by the chronic standard reaction of the preclear
(2) by type of material (facsimiles) contacted.

Essentials by L. Ron Hubbard, and The Book Introducing the E-Meter.
TIME SENSE, DETERIORATION OF
Time sense deteriorates to the degree that one
has depended upon matter, energy and space to tell time.
We have known for many years that time is the Single Source of human
aberration.
Regard for time sums up, of course, into ARC about time, or just ARC.
The dwindling spiral was as follows:
State A Time Sense
State B Time Sense dependent upon Matter, Energy
and Space
State C ARC Breaks with Matter, Energy, Space and
other beings
State D Deteriorated Time Sense
Time and the Tone Arm
HCOB 28 July 1963
CHARGE AND THE TIME TRACK
Shakespeare said all life was a play. He was right
insofar as the Time Track is a 3D, fifty-two perception movie which is a whole
series of plays concerning the preclear. But the influence of it upon the
preclear removes it from the class of pretense and play. It is not only very
real, it is what contains whatever it is that depresses the preclear to what he
is today. Its savageness relieved, the preclear can recover, and only then.
There is no other valid workable road.
"Charge", the stored quantities of energy in the Time Track, is
the sole thing that is relieved or removed by the auditor from the Time Track.
When this charge is present in huge amounts the Time Track overwhelms the
preclear and the preclear is thrust below observation of the actual track.
He is caught in it.
The job of the auditor is to free the thetan by digging him out of the
Time Track.

THE AXIOMS OF SOP 8-C
I: LOCATION
PRE-LOGIC: Theta orients objects in space and time.
AXIOM: In life experience space becomes beingness.
FORMULA I: Permitting the preclear to discover with certainty where people and
things are not in the present, past and future recovers sufficient orientation
to establish his knowledge and certainty of where he is and they are; the
application of this is accomplished by negative orientation of beingness,
havingness and doingness on each of eight dynamics in the present, past and
future.
II: BODIES
AXIOM: In life experience energy becomes doingness.
AXIOM: Compulsive position precedes compulsive thinking.
AXIOM: That which changes the preclear in space can evaluate for him.
FORMULA II: Permit the preclear to discover that he handles bodies and allow him
to handle bodies in mock-ups and actuality; and remedy his thirst for attention
which he has received by contagion from bodies.
III: SPACE
PRE-LOGIC: Theta creates space and time and objects to locate in them.
DEFINITION: Space is a viewpoint of dimension.
AXIOM: Energy derives from imposition of space between terminals and a reduction
and expansion of that space.
FORMULA III: Permit the preclear to regain his ability to create space and
impose it upon terminals, to remove it from between terminals and to regain his
security concerning the stability of MEST space.
IV: HAVINGNESS
AXIOM: In life experience matter becomes havingness.
OBSERVATION: To a thetan ANYTHING is better than nothing.
OBSERVATION: Any preclear is suffering from problems of too little havingness
and any reduction of his existing energy, if not replaced, will cause him to
drop in tone.
FORMULA IV: The remedy of problems of havingness is accomplished by creating an
abundance of all things. As the preclear has rendered automatic his desires and
ability to create and destroy, and thus has placed havingness beyond his
control, the Auditor should place in the control of the preclear his
automaticities of havingness and unhavingness and permit him, on his own
self-determinism, to balance his havingness.
V: TERMINALS
AXIOM: Space exists by reason of anchor points.
DEFINITION: An anchor point is any particle or mass or terminal.
AXIOM: Energy is derived from mass by fixing two terminals in proximity in
space.
AXIOM: Self-determinism is related to the ability to impose space between
terminals.
AXIOM: Cause is a potential source of flow.
AXIOM: Effect is a potential receipt of flow.
AXIOM: Communication is the duplication at the receipt point of
that which emanated at a cause point.
AXIOM: Wrongness in terms of flow is inflow.
FORMULA V: The thetan is rehabilitated as to energy and terminals by remedying
his postulates about outflow and inflow and drills relating to the outflow and
inflow of energy according to the above axioms
VI: SYMBOLIZATION
DEFINITION: A symbol is an idea fixed in energy and mobile in space.
FORMULA VI: The thetan who has been moved about by symbols is strengthened by
mocking up and moving about and fixing in space ideas which have formerly moved
him.
VII: BARRIERS
AXIOM: The MEST universe is a game consisting of barriers
DEFINITION: A barrier is space, energy, object, obstacles, or time.
FORMULA VII: Problems of barriers or their lack are resolved by contacting and
penetrating, creating and destroying, validating and neglecting barriers by
changing them or substituting others for them, by fixing and unfixing attention
upon their somethingness and nothingness.
VIII: DUPLICATION
FUNDAMENTAL: The basic action of existence is duplication.
LOGIC: All operating principles of life may be derived
from duplication.
AXIOM: Communication is as exact as it approaches duplication.
AXIOM: Unwillingness to be cause is monitored by unwillingness to be
duplicated.
AXIOM: Unwillingness to be an effect is monitored by unwillingness to
duplicate.
AXIOM: An inability to remain in a geographical position brings about an
unwillingness to duplicate.
AXIOM: An enforced fixation in a geographical position brings about an
unwillingness to duplicate.
AXIOM: Inability to duplicate on any dynamic is the primary degeneration
of the thetan.
AXIOM: Perception depends upon duplication.
AXIOM: Communication depends upon duplication.
AXIOM: In the MEST universe, the single crime is duplication.
FORMULA VIII: The primary ability and willingness of the thetan to duplicate
must be rehabilitated by handling desires, enforcements and inhibitions relating
to it on all dynamics.
