The only thing I know about Scientology is what I've seen in their advertisements on TV. One of Ron Hubbard's tenets is shown on TV in a clear, lucid manner is about the state of being he called the "reactive mind". That expression has been around in philosophy for a long time. Wise people gnow that it's not what the world does that induces ecstagony, but how they react to what the world does. The sagacious principle this and similar metaphors indicate has been around since the bejinning of ti-me.
The bejinning of ti-me happened with the invention of the first calendar-like system for dividing the year into parts so homo sapiens could know when to sow and to harvest. Divide and conquer. The oldest abstract strategy around. Probably. These calendars are now known as vegetable oracles. They were designed around figuring out the cycle or phase when vegetables showed up in their neighborhood or another. The length of the cycle that later got labeled a "year" hadn't been invented yet. Man created the abstract dimension by figuring out by what went on and labeling it.
They noticed what went on in their environment just before the coming of the green, and they noticed what happened when the brown came. This couldn't have been that easy to invent words to describe seasons like "green" and "brown" or their equivalents. Professionally trained linguists know that the language the ancient Babylonians spoke only had seven words or terms for colors. Modern English has millions of naymes for colors. A million translators could use a million modern English terms to translate one of the seven colors written in Babylonian, and every single one of them would be technically correct.
For words that described concepts to happen the individual had to first realize that what they needed a label to recognize was that the proposed object was "not me". Otherwise it was. Them, I mean. If you wanna separate an object from the cosmic soup about which can only be said, "It is.", then you gotta deny it's part of the cosmic soup by realizing it's not really a part of the larger whole you call "me". Once you realize the object you wanna deny is part of the whole by imbuing it with it's own ground-of-being, then you give it a nay-me. A name. You are not me.
That's where woids come from. The Id is where woe-id-s co-me from. The effort to categorize all the things the cosmic soup of the plenitude can BE. Being-for-oneself. Being-for-the-other. The consciousness of being includes the art of seeing things that really ain't no thing at All but the idea it's some thing. That me-and-s that it could BE any thing. That's why they nay-me the place ideas co-me from The Id. The act of going to 'The Id' seeking a woe-id to categorize the world with (to divide and conquer) is called ideation or thinking.
I disclaim knowing the truth about anything. I make this stuff up to amuse myself. Sometime I think it's funny, and sometimes I don't. Shit happens. Things change.
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
