Axiom 1: Life is basically a static
Life seems too bloody lively to be a static!
(Wayward kids!!)
Hey, resurrecting an old post (but in a young thread).
To me Axiom 1 should be interpreted as
"the Thetan" is basically a static.
And I believe the word static is correct and meaningful because the properties of a thetan cannot be fundamentally changed. So a thetan can attach to things, case, mental images etc, but will never be ruined, at most "temporarily impaired/modified". You can always recover your original state.
A thetan is also a static because it is the utmost form of order. While MEST is chaos, which is a form of disorganized motion, the Thetan is a static in that, by not being physical and by not being able to get his abilities permanently impaired, it cannot change/be changed in its basic fundamental form. Therefore from this perspective it is a static.
The nice thing about being a static is that in some way it means a thetan can persevere at will and hold a position (of order) without getting the risk to get degraded. From this perspective theta should prevail on anything happening in the MEST universe as things degrade. Theta fundamentally doesn't.
If a person recognizes his inner self as theta and not matter it is thus much stronger than the environment, and can change it just by holding on effortlessly on his/her postulates.
Does anything of this make sense? I know I somehow operate on a lower level than people who take axioms on their most theoretical and pure form, but I believe concepts and truths must be put in play and be intertwined with reality to get to a full and practical understanding of their meaning. I don't remember it perfectly, but there exists a nice painting about Aristotle and Plato where one points his finger to the sky and one to the Earth. To me this is how theta and MEST, theory and practice are both important. I guess that theta has to first mix with MEST, only in this way it will realize what it really is. Which reminds me as well of the book "Siddartha" and of ying and yang.
The greatest of thetans is not the one that is fully pure. It is the one that is pure but is willing and actually enjoys as well to mesh with dirt, as he knows what he fundamentally is, that his abilities won't ever be lost, and that experience is nice.
I am one of those thetans though that doesn't believe or want Nirvana or OT XV as the complete dissolution of oneself on the eight dynamics. To me the tone scale must be experienced in full, mostly operating in the 4-40, but willing to express at times all other wavelenghts. Guys, life is a nice game! The day I will recover my full potential, I will keep on living, drop this body when it's time to, and pick another one! Probably willingly forgetting my past life and starting anew. There is a reason why we like movies: we are powerful beings and pandetermination renders the game boring. We want at least a little of uncertainty and the chance that "anything can happen". In reality, like with films, we know there's a script, but while watching it is just better to forget it! ^^
