HISTORICAL ERRORS
HISTORICAL ERRORS
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY
This is a big subject that we will be taking piece by piece. But the fact is there have been many serious errors foisted off onto the seekers of truth by various pundits and gurus, some due to innocent incomplete or mistaken perception, and others due to evil and destructive intent.
Needless to say, some examples are historical as were used by the established religions of centuries ago. They are now obvious, and I’ll not be dealing with them. What this note will address will be the errors that have been created and introduced within our own lifetimes that have led us astray.
L. Ron Hubbard is primary in this respect.
The true history of Hubbard is that he was a narcissistic sadist, fraud and conman whose private “Affirmations” acted to reinforce such notions and powers that “all men were his slaves” and “all women surrendered to him.” Notoriously, he falsely claimed to have earned a PhD, this till the Victorian State Government inquiry conducted by Mr. Justice Anderson published its findings revealing Hubbard’s many frauds and lies.
Hubbard’s “Axioms of Scientology” contain a number of apparently correct propositions and truths regarding the Conditions of Existence and our Spiritual Presence and Being.
In retrospect, one should note the pompous nature of the “grand statements” of these Axioms that give them an air of “scientific exactitude.”
Scientology Axiom 1. LIFE IS BASICALLY A STATIC.
Of course, the first question becomes: What does he mean by “LIFE.” Is he speaking of the game and activity that is “life” or is he referring to the Life Forms that are engaged in the activity of Life and Living. Observing LIFE and defining it in a dictionary one finds it is anything BUT static or “a” static.
Hubbard does go on to describe some characteristics of a “Life Static” that is merely relating some obvious points except that he mis-uses the word “postulate” . . . As scientologists know, it is used throughout the subject to mean, as stated in the Scientology Dictionary: verb sense #1, “causative thinkingess.” In other words, throughout the subject Hubbard spawned the word “postulate” is used to mean you bring something into existence by postulating it into existence.
Here follows is an exchange between Alan Walter and myself in November, 2006.
We often exchanged research "notes."
The word "Spirita" is the word Alan coined in order to get away from using the word "Theta" :J

Subject: NEW AXIOM 1
Dear Rog,
Thanks for the research material.
This maybe of some help.
A.
My suggestion is to print this off and put copies near you and read it several times a day.
If your mood level drops or you are having difficulties with honoring your presence, power or purpose - read this.

NEW AXIOM 1
NEW AXIOM 1. LIFE IS BASICALLY AN EMANATION STEMMING FROM A LIFEFORCE PRESENCE
Definition: A Lifeforce Presence is pure Spirita it has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no form, no limitation, no location in space or in time.
A Lifeforce Presence is infinite in depth, breadth, size and scope.
A Lifeforce Presence in its purest state is capable of infinite aliveness, infinite powers, infinite duplication, infinite permeation, infinite intelligence, infinite abilities, infinite cleverness, infinite strengths, infinite skills, infinite creation, infinite love, infinite truth, infinite harmony, infinite knowledge, infinite know-how, infinite responsibility, infinite control, infinite experience, infinite exchange and infinite integrity it should be noted that each one of these infinite capabilities also has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no form, no limitation, no location in space or in time.
A Lifeforce Presence is in a state of oneness with all these capabilities.
A Lifeforce Presence is senior to all gradient scales and the mechanics of life.
A Lifeforce Presence has the ability to create and to perceive.

I replied next day:
New Axiom 1---Something Omitted
Dear Alan,
I’ve been chewing on the New Axiom 1, and I do believe we have a very important item omitted. It is:
A Lifeforce Presence has infinite potential.
One could use the less familiar noun form, “potentiality.” Good big dictionaries give wonderful expressions of what these concepts are in the context of an attribute of the state of existence of pure Spirita.
This is a big concept. The stem word, of course is potent. And the original definition of it as an adjective is: that has power; potent. A modern adjective definition is: that can, but has not yet, come into being; possible; latent; unrealized; undeveloped; opposed to actual. The noun definition is: something potential; a potentiality. (These definitions from Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged Second Edition (Simon & Schuster.) A simple noun definition of it from The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Edition, is: The inherent ability or capacity for growth, development, or coming into being.
I have for the last several months been processing in the area of this state of “ultimate, infinite potential/potentiality” and the what stemmed from it when, as a “Life-Force Presence of infinite potential,” (and interestingly I did use those words to articulate the scenario in session) I and/or we acted to convert the potential to express actual states of Being or conditions of existence, and produced “things”.
Hence my view that we need to add this concept to complete the full statement of New Axiom 1.

Alan did embrace my bright little note.
Note the specificity and exactness here that “LIFE IS BASICALLY AN EMANATION STEMMING FROM A LIFEFORCE PRESENCE”

Scientology Axioms 3 and 4 could be picked apart, but I don’t want to make this posting a matter of nuancing shades of gray.
Scientology Axiom 4 states: SPACE IS A VIEWPOINT OF DIMENSION.
This is really an example of Hubbard’s utter grandiose nonsense.
Space is NOT a “viewpoint” in any way shape or form.
Space is an expanse of existence that enables the determining of the extent of separation between positions. Space and Time facilitate the positioning of viewpoints, but are themselves not “viewpoints.”
Scientology Axiom 5 states: ENERGY CONSISTS OF POSTULATED PARTICLS IN SPACE.
There’s that word “postulate(d)” being misused again, but more to the point “energy” is not necessarily particulate nor necessarily located in space. In the spiritual realm, the directing of one’s Spiritual Life-Force and Powers is very energetic and not located in space nor particulate.
Scientology Axiom 7 states: TIME IS BASICALLY A POSTULATE THAT SPACE AND PARTICLES WILL PERSIST.
In actuality, the creation of TIME was occasioned with and by our FIRST ENVISIONING THE WANT OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE THEN CURRENTLY EXPERIENCED. WE WANTED A NEW EXPERIENCE TO BE CREATED, AND THAT “TO BE” BROUGHT FUTURE TIME INTO EXISTENCE
Scientology Axiom 8 states: THE APPARENCY OF TIME IS THE CHANGE OF POSITION OF PARTICLES IN SPACE.
That word “Apparency” is troublesome. Is change not demonstrative of the fact of the passage of time? And what about the experience and observation of one’s own causation?
Scientology Axiom 10 states: THE HIGHEST PURPOSE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS THE CREATION OF AN EFFECT.
Well that very much speaks to Hubbard’s narcissism . . . he was a dominator who had to subjugate everyone to his will.
Personally, I find my highest purpose is that of wanting to continue in existence in the manner I choose. And that includes having/maintaining a group of friends with whom can be shared a co-empowering relationship and existence of a game.
OK, the above should keep you all going for a while . . . we are restricted to word count per post. MORE TO COME ON THIS SUBJECT.
