Introduction: Why "Reality is a bitch"? Reality, as part of the ARC triangle, is not the simplest component. It's the most fallacious part, because a person only sees “their own reality”, and the lower tone someone is, the more right they must be.
Reality is a Bitch
"Reality" is that part of the ARC triangle that one thinks is the simplest component.
Reality is the most deceptive part because a person only sees "their own reality," and the lower someone is, the more they must be right. They have so little theta that they cannot afford to be wrong. A thetan must always be more right than wrong. If you convince someone that they are truly wrong, you overwhelm them in the worst way. An auditor must understand this very well. For someone to confront being wrong, one must first build up theta, improve and expand their healthy basis of being right. To some extent, one could also call "wrongness" "unreality."
Reality is also the part that the thetan does not want to see and is often bent to fit their own perspective. Simply put, one could say they do not want to see it. It is their direct refusal to see what is.
A little more than 30 years ago, I had a very important cognition. It is not really mine – it is from Ron. I recognized what Ron said because I was ready for it. In fact, it was not the first time I had studied that lecture, but years earlier, I had not seen it. I could only recognize it because I did not know whether I or the others were wrong. I spent about half a year searching for an answer.
At that time, I was dealing with the monetary system and interest rates. It is an extremely fascinating topic, but apart from me and Scientologists in general, no one seems to understand it. The solution is ingenious and tested. But just because I read it and evaluate it as correct does not mean that it actually is. And the fact that my friends, Scientologists, see it the same way does not make it any more correct, especially when so many non-Scientologists do not see it that way. Do Scientologists simply agree with me because I am an opinion leader?
In this lecture, I learned that people below 0.5 (Grief) on the Tone Scale can only be reached through effort – that is, through physical energy. As long as a threat exists (e.g., no product = no wage; or a direct punishment), they will do something. If this physical effort is missing, very little happens. We should not let this irritate us.
People between 0.5 and approximately 2.2 (no assigned emotion) can be "motivated" with emotion. You can scare them, intimidate them, or make them angry. Our society is full of such emotions. The fear of disease can drive people to the most unexpected actions; a concept of an enemy is incredibly motivating. Someone stuck in sympathy is hard to stop, as is someone seeking revenge. Insurance companies thrive on this. There are even proverbs that fit, such as "Fear is a bad advisor."
People who are above 2.2 on the Tone Scale can be reached through reason. Only above 2.2 does one begin to see reality more and more. One can evaluate, accept, reject, etc. True understanding becomes part of the game. One is willing to see both or multiple sides, and also willing to gather more data on a subject to achieve real understanding. One can also change their opinion. They can simply look and see what is.
In another lecture, Scientology 0, dated September 25, 1963, Ron says:
"… this the guy doesn’t believe his eyes and he goes off and says something else. And this practically breaks their hearts down in South Africa because it wrecks one of their stable data, which is 'if they could see it with their own eyes, then they would know'. And that doesn’t happen to be true. "
…
"You could think of many instances where people see things with their own eyes and don't believe them. In fact, they're probably more numerous than the reverse. So, you never count on that as a stable datum. There's not even any particular sense in being terribly good to prove to people you are good. Because if they're saying you are bad to that degree, then they are incapable of the power of observation to determine when you're good."
Ron's statement is fundamental. When spreading Scientology, we often fail because we assume that the other person sees and understands our reality.
The following statement from Ron must also be considered to round off the topic. He repeatedly states: "Reality is proportional to the charge that has been erased." He explicitly speaks of charge and not significance. It is not about significance. It is not about what one has experienced, who one was, what one has done, or with whom one was. It is solely about dissolving the associated energy and charge.
Erased charge moves a person up the Tone Scale, and – summed up in one sentence – it is the only thing Scientology aims to achieve.
The above is fundamental auditor knowledge. I can only recommend taking this training.
Much love,
