DESIRE AND VIEW There are only two case factors, they are Desire and View of the Cosmic All. Reality crystalizes (hardens) around the preclear (pc) to the degree that his desire is opposed to his view of the cosmic all. Especially when he gets serious about it, filled with forevers and nevers. Accessibility is a matter of accessibility of desire and accessibility of view of the cosmic all. In other words, is the preclear able and willing to find out what he really wants, and able and willing to find out what he really believes in, in order to reevaluate either, in order to spot false desires, and false views, thus bringing desire and view into accord, which is freedom. It is assumed here that the truth will get you what you want :) Desire and truth are always in accord. Justice is you get what you postulate. Justice reigns at all times. Accord, Co Communication and Clear Harmony - Electra Reality, Communication, and Affinity - LRH But you gotta know the truth, and you gotta know what you want! If the preclear is having trouble making case gain or finding items to run, assess for 'unauditable'. If unauditable reads, indoctrinate as above, and then assess for 'inaccessible'. If inaccessible reads, assess for desire or view. Take up reading item and find out what is going on. Suppressed desire will stop case progress cold, as will suppressed views of the cosmic all. Suppressed, not-ised, made nothing of, full metal jacket prepcheck plus some. THE DISPLAY LIST In the science of computer graphics the smallest renderable object is a triangle, because it is the smallest geometric figure that has some surface to paint. Even a square or rectangle is made of two triangles if you draw a line from corner to corner across the middle. Thus when rendering a 3D object, it is first broken down mathematically into millions of little triangles and these are stored in what is known as a display list. When the object is rotated or colored according to external lighting, each triangle is worked on in turn and then displayed, thus evenually rendering the whole object. The world is a graphic rendering in the conscious unit of one's view of the cosmic all. The smallest mathematical unit of the pc's view of the cosmic all is a postulate. The set of all postulates that the preclear has comprises the display list from which his existence is then rendered. Postulates are made first on a causal basis, then on an effect basis. Cause is: "There is a red ball because I see a red ball". Effect is: "I see a red ball because there is a red ball." The first is called Looking by Knowing, the being first knows there is a red ball there, and then falls down to looking at it. His being able to see it verifies that it got created exactly as he first knew it. ((This is the dual agency of consciousness, the agency of self putting the ball there, and the agency of the mockup letting the self know what was put there.)) The second is called Knowing by Looking, the being first looks at the red ball and then falls down to knowing about it. This is also called Learning by Looking, he first has no clue about the ball, so he interacts with it, getting it to exert its cause over him, and from the effects he registers in himself coming from the ball, he thus makes conclusions about the nature of the ball. In the first case the existence of the red ball is being determined by the pc's postulate that it is there. In the second case the pc's postulate that the ball is there is determined by the fact that it is there, namely that he sees it. LRH would have said in the first case the existence of the ball is 'monitored' by the pc's postulate, and in the second case, the pc's postulate is monitored by the existence of the ball. The first is causal consideration, you consider there is a ball, and so there is. The second is observation, you look and observe a ball is there, so you come to consider there is a ball there. Notice consideration is being cause, observation is being an effect. This is called the consideration - observation flip flop. First the preclear considers something is there and verifies his creation by observing it. Then the preclear observers the thing and considers it is there because he sees it. He learned it was there by running into it and looking to see what it was he ran into. You see this? Consideration and observation are dicoms, dichotomies of opposite and comparable magnitude. At the top observation is used to verify consideration: I wanted to cause a ball, did I get one? At the bottom, consideration tries to track observation, lest one think there is no ball when there is one! And he is always polishing his eye glasses to make sure! In the first case the preclear determines that the ball will be there and so it is. In the second case the preclear determines that the ball is there because he saw it. In the first case To Determine means to cause to be. In the second case To Determine means to learn that it is. Learning by Looking is always by being an effect of the learned about. In the first case the the ball is there BECAUSE the preclear postulates it is. In the second case the preclear postulates the ball is there BECAUSE it is. Now every persisting postulate in the pc's display list was made in this way. First the preclear makes the postulate thus creating the condition the postulate is about, then the preclear falls down to looking at the condition and LEARNING FROM WHAT HE HAS ALREADY POSTULATED THAT IT IS THERE. Thus he convinces himself that all his postulates are learned and observed, rather than caused by his consideration. He thinks things are considered because they are observed, when in fact they are observed because they are considered. Although there are trillions of postulates in the pc's display list, there are only a very few arch stones. An arch stone is the stone in the middle of an arch that holds all the other stones up. You remove the arch stone and the whole arch comes down. A God Postulate is an arch stone postulate. There are a number of them. A God Postulate is that exact postulate that the being thinks is true because he observed it to be true, when in fact it is true merely because he considered it to be true. It is these arch stone postulates that you need to find in your pc, as each one holds vast amounts of his view of the cosmic all in place and thus the life and future which is rendered from it. When a preclear first finds an arch stone postulate, he will be looking at solid rock. "Change this? You gotta be kidding." This is because he is trying to change the postulate by adding MORE postulate around it, thus building more arches, more solid rock to sink himself with. It's convulsive, he can't conceive of any other way it could be done. But he has already been there, done that, bought the tomb stone. He thinks you want him to try again or a bit harder. The postulate has been a problem to him, a ruinous problem, and he has been trying to build solutions around that problem forever. The solutions are the arch built around the arch stone. The LAST thing he is going to do, the most USELESS thing he could possibly do, is just sit there and LOOK at the postulate and do nothing. Time's a passing don't you know, doom's a comin' down the tracks at 100 mhp, and you want him to just sit there and LOOK at the postulate? Yes, because in doing so, in stopping the MUST DO dramatization about the postulate, you get him to MAKE it again. Suddenly out of the infinite eternal stillness he contacts the original power he used to MAKE the postulate in the first place. He isn't looking at it and learning about it any more, he's PUTTING IT THERE. The only thing that he can do with a God Postulate is change his mind about it. Its called a God Postulate because he CAN change his mind about it and its the very next thing he NEEDS to change his mind about. He is no longer saying its there because it is there, its there because he is saying it is. He's not the little guy looking at the arch stone so far above him in wonder, he's the guy putting the whole Chruch there and 100 cubic miles of space around it to do it justice. His will go eyes wide, you will about startle him out of his skin, and he will understand again, with a big smile of love, sorrow and *LAUGHTER*, what has been going on for a very long time. Not only with himself but with everyone else also. Once he finds one or two of these with your help, he won't fall for the consideration - observation flip flop any more, and he will tend to find them on his own as life brings them to the forefront. He certainly won't be building any more arches that block his way to a bright and glorious future. Remember to find the FOREVER in each arch stone postulate and in the solutions he created around it to seal his fate.
