Mysticism Scientology 1.0.0 – Part 9 Now here’s the subject that plays the biggest role of all in Scientology 1.0.0. ————————————————————————————————– First, just for additional colour, some personal background: In the mid to late 1970s, after eight years of travel at sea, my parents moved, with their small administrative staffs, to a place called LaContinue reading “The Wild Mind – Part III”

Magic and Myth Scientology 1.0.0 – Part 8 In the last article I made a list of a few of the kinds of experience and thinking that most likely must happen if there is ever to be anything as crazily complex, and impressive, as modern civilisation. Whatever they may actually be, these ideas occur andContinue reading “The Wild Mind – Part II”

Scientology 1.0.0 – part 6 Essentially when discussing philosophy or ethics, or religion too, what one is talking about is how to play infinite games as different from finite games and when one form is optimum and when it isn’t.

My last article was awhile ago, back in the pre-Covid days of yore, March (2020) I think.

Scientology 1.0.0 (1952) continued – part 5 “Why so glum? What you need is to be more pan-determined!” Talking about well-being from a Scientology 1.0.0 perspective, if you really intend to get to the point, is going to eventually end up dealing with the incredibly tricky, if not wholly thorny, subject of pan-determinism. Pan-determinism isContinue reading “Pan-determinism at last”

Scientology 1.0.0 (1952) continued – part 4 “I have an existential map. It has ‘You are here’ written all over it.”― Steven Wright In scientology* there are a lot of descriptions of the metaphysical, like the couple of things already mentioned. One of the hellishly difficult problems with discussing metaphysics though is the limitations ofContinue reading “The Eight Dynamics, a map of the self.”

Scientology 1.0.0 (1952) continued – part 3. “Space, the final frontier…” These are the immortal opening words of a very popular television series. Of course, they are referring to outer space but as any fan will tell you all the best action takes place in that other space, a subjective space, the space created byContinue reading “Space, Emotion and Well- being”

“I am nobody contemplating nothing” – 4th century gymnosophist Here’s a good book, Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea byCharles Seife. It’s got nothing to do with Scientology but it sure gives a great overview of zero and zero is the key to Scientology 1.0.0. Zero. Nothing. No thing. ?!
