Dear ivy-subscriber,
The
Pilots work, especially his Cosmic History, interests me very
much.
The way our history is described in Hubbard's works
(tapes, books) has seemed to me a bit jumbled, and when he talked of
other (shared) universes, I always thought they existed now (except
the Magic Universe, which Ray Kemp has also talked about in IVy).
Of course, there can exist shared universes "parallel" [in time] to
ours.
In Section 18 of The Pilot's Cosmic History there is the
following sentence: "Most
of the theta line incidents described in Hubbard's History of Man are
from this time period."
Fascinating.
I had read or heard about 'bodies' people fighting 'thetans' and
speculated as to how it would be, but never conceived it in this
context.
Cosmic History is quite a large work (link on our
Home page). Here is an extract from the very beginning. (I am using
it for my daily "reading" exercise, which seems to keep me
from needing reading glasses in my old age)
Good Weekend, Hi,
Ant

SUPER
SCIO #2
COSMIC HISTORY
1. INTRODUCTION
We have
come down through a long series of universes. All of the more
advanced sources seem to be aware of this, most notably the Tibetan
scriptures and L. Ron Hubbard's investigations of 1952. However, no
one has ever provided a detailed description of the sequence or
characteristics of these universes. If we have indeed fallen from a
godlike state, then the universes themselves must follow some sort of
a dwindling progression and the mechanics of that decay must reflect,
on the whole, how we have come to be in the state that we are
in.
This document will attempt to sketch out the broad
outlines and provide a context which will hopefully support further
research. I cannot guarantee that all the information given here is
exactly correct. The best I can do is to say that I think it comes
reasonably close. But of one thing I am certain, the picture can be
no less complex than that presented here. If I have erred, it is on
the side of missing things rather than putting too much there.
Nothing less would serve to explain the degree to which we have
fallen.
Before embarking on an actual discussion of the
history, it is important to define my usage of the word "universe"
because it is used in many sloppy ways in the field of
metaphysics.
By universe, I mean a complete system of space
and time. And for this discussion, I mean specifically those large
agreed upon universes in which we all have lived.
There is not
a one to one mapping between the points in space within one universe
and those in another. A universe can have more than one 3 dimensional
plane and can also have other 3 dimensional spaces (bubbles or
pockets) tied to it. These are all considered to be part of the same
universe because there is a mapping of points and there is a
correspondence of time and there is a carry over of physical laws.
But truly separate universes do not tie together in a direct manner
and do not have identical laws. Note that you can setup transfer
points between separate universes, but these are arbitrary points
linked together without any correlation.
The current universe
is one of very strict physical laws and is best characterized as a
highly mechanical MEST (Matter/ Energy/ Space/ Time) oriented
creation. The immediately preceding universe was one of Magic where
physical laws were not quite as solid. Just as the literature of
science fiction hints at the flavor of our life in this universe, the
literature of fantasy hints at the nature of the Magic universe. But
even the magic universe was quite physical and highly structured in
its own context. As we work backwards from this universe, we see that
each preceding universe was slightly less solid and more conducive to
thought until we reach the earliest ones where the Thetan (Spirit /
that which thinks) is senior and the physical aspects are trivial
things that can be modified by the merest whim.
Let us now go
all the way back and set the stage for the entire procession of
universes.
2. IN THE BEGINNING
Before anything exists,
there can only be nothing, But the preternatural nothingness must
have a potential, and that potential must be infinite because an
infinity of creations has descended from it. If there had been no
potential, then we would not exist, and if the potential had been
limited, we would have ground to a halt long
ago.

Dear CosmicHistorian,
So far as
understanding life, and the universe my two great heros are L.Ron
Hubbard, and Ken Ogger.
Before I ran into Ron's work the whole
thing was a mystery (with me at effect). Now I feel relatively at
peace with the way things are. Also somewhat disbelieving in some
things Ron and the Pilot (KenO) have said.
Ron laid the ground
to my understanding. At one point I had to learn the (then 50)Scientology Axioms by
heart (I had to write them down from memory to pass an exam to be
recognised as a "professional auditor", that was in 1956.
So I recommend a thorough knowledge of the axioms. Perhaps clay demo,
but not under a supervisor who possibly wants you to do them
according to his understanding or do them fast to get a good
statistic.
There are a couple of things I would say in this
connection. Ron did his best to convey these principles in the
English language (he was a bit slow in recognising that some people
on earth spoke other languages). However he also developed the know
to mystery scale, and an understanding of
life involves being at the top of that scale, whereas language lies
at symbols, a few steps down. He used the term, for instance "game".
Here he did his best, groping around in a fairly wide ability to use
the English language (sharpened, no doubt by the very fact that he
made his living from writing, amongst other things what critics
describe as "Science fiction" but he wrote many other types
of fiction, where he had to communicate to a wide public to earn his
daily bread) to find a symbol (word) to communicate a much wider
concept.
Another thing that Ron gave us was the concept ofnot-know (of course,
in describing things above words he came to invent some words). The
concept of not-know came out in the 50's and I have not seen much
reference to it since, but to me it is a vital part of the "puzzle"
of life.
In my childhood there was a game called
"battleships". The rules made you play it on squared paper,
and both side were allowed a specific number of different types of
battleship (I have forgotten their names, it was based on prior to
atomic warfare times :-) ). The different types occupied a different
number of squares, and you placed them where you wanted. The squares
were numbered, and you shot in the "enemies" (whoops, I
mean opponents) squares, aiming to sink all his battle ships before
all yours got sunk with direct hits on all the squares the
battleships occupied. The game was meaningless if you could see all
the "enemies" squares, so a primitive means of not-knowing
what his/her squares were was done - a shield hiding the opponents
squares.
And here we come to a third important component of
life, which Ron wrote up as axiom 2.
Paraphrasing (using words, just symbols) to try and convey something
way above words: "life is capable of consideration, postulates
and opinions". Until you postulate that you can not (and
probably not-know that you made that postulate) anythingis possible for you.
Both Ron and The
Pilot were unduly pessimistic. While praising them to the sky for
certain things, I am critical of certain utterances of theirs and
reserve the right to state my criticisms on this list. But it is a
discussion list, where snippets of the Pilot will be presented (I
presume a knowledge on your part of Scientology, or access to
unedited writings and tapes of Ron).
And in this first (short)
introduction to Cosmic History, the Pilot has actually done some
important things. I know it is short, and later parts of this
serialization are longer, but it is important, so perhaps read it
again.
The pilot says in what I have just sent you:
...
If we have indeed fallen from a godlike state, then the universes
themselves must follow some sort of a dwindling progression and the
mechanics of that decay ...
Pessimism!!
...fallen ... decay
...
You have not fallen. You have not decayed.
Look around you. Perhaps you have a carefully woven carpet there, and
other articles of beauty. Look at the world around you. Mountains,
seas, natural wonders, man made wonders, animals, plants, made by
us out of basics we have created . This started from nothing. we,
the big we, the large team, created this. You are still godlike, but
not-knowing the fact to have what Ron called a game (suggestions for
a better word, a better symbol, to communicate something beyond
words?).
Perhaps you believe in a big God who did all this
intricate creation, including you. I do not. I believe the truth is
more wonderful and more empowering.
I suggest you grant
yourself a little more beingness. The beingness of a (Pilot's
symbols) godlike being who played a part in the giant work of
creating this "playing field" (I think Ron's symbols, again
for something beyond words/symbols).
Grant your self the beingness
of a god, co-creator, and now "player" in this "game"
And
join me in the examination of this "silly theory" of mine
:-)
All best wishes,
Ant

Dear student of Cosmic History
(either of the truth, or Ken Ogger's
fantasy :-) )
For the
last ten years or so I have been curious as to whether there
were
other explanations that rang as "true" (read, as they say
in
Scientology) as Ken Ogger's. I had given up looking in
Eastern
works, though did pick up the Book of the Dead, but found
it beyond me.
I have asked around for an explanation of Cosmic
History.
Was offered for example the Captain Bill version,
including the LTA
(last time around, I think) version, where we
repeat the same things,
slightly differently. If that is true, I
want to know who mocked it
up that way, and how. In view of the
enthusiasm for the LTA part of
it, I felt it would be futile
looking for more so gave up.
Other times I asked I was
referred to things to do with gen
manipulation of humans by
extraterrestrials, but I wanted to know how
earth (terra) came
about so there could be things like earthlings and
extraterrestrials,
and how chromosomes (a really fantastic
programming language) came
about.
It seemed that when I looked for the beginning, I was
refered to
"games" that were played more recently
(mostly in this universe).
In my browsings I was referred to
the "Life Between Lives" concept,
pioneered by three
books by Michael Newton. This looked very
interesting, and at a
later date (when we have looked at the Magic
Universe) I may give
you some ideas of how it could fit into the
Magic Universe and
Present Universe picture.
So I am impatient, and a bigot.
Well, not very much to the degree
that I am interested in your
viewpoint on this subject, and I have
often found that one learns
by teaching. And I have, I think, learned
to learn by my
mistakes.
Now I'll send you this, and see if anything has come
in on the list
while I have been out cycling in rather windy
autumn weather -
enjoying seeing the countryside with "new
eyes". The Health service
has handled my cataract and now I
can see better than I have been
able to for the last ten to
fifteen years.
All best wishes,
Ant

I
acknowledge your optimism Ant in all the wonderful things that we
have created. But I think LRH and Buddha and many others saw
the degradation around including sickness, poverty, and unhealthy
conditions and wondered... why?
The more scientology I've done
has allowed me to live quite peacefully and with much happiness.. but
I quite possibly wouldn't have ever achieved that without
Scientology.
So I think they focused in on one end of the
spectrum of conditions, and not only asked, why can't we all live
this way.. but both of these guys (LRH and Ken) tried to implement
ways to get those stuck in it, unstuck.
It's quite possible
also that as one conquers conditions for self, they expand their
dynamics to include the welfare of all - not turning a blind eye to
the less fortunate.
Sometimes the person people despise
because he is stamping his feet, demanding improvement is not a
rabblerouser, rather he is the person that cares the most.
There
may be abundance of beauty to behold, but for what good reason does
illness, weakness, insanity, etc. play a role? I agree there
should be a lot less of these in the world.

I've
found LTA solely IF there was no success LTA. Just like karma
or quitting a job/relationship only to run into the same problems in
the next one. The issue is inherent in the individual and they
need to work themselves out of it. Once 'graduated', they can
move on and no need for a repeat. They can create anew.
So the mock-up may not have been mocked up that way in particular but
rather following a law of the universe to work out one's solutions.
Axiom 48 - Life is a game wherein theta as the static solves the
problems of theta as mest. But who mocks this law up?
Must be some early decision in games formation by a Game Maker.
Who is the game maker? That is for each and every one to
decide.

When I solve a case I always ask the pc for one unnamed favor. Iﾒve never called these favors in. The favor I tell you now for the first time: Whatever else you are, be a good Scientologist and help me clear these Earth people. LRH

Yes. Very widespread idea. My answer to that, I found
after seven times running through Cosmic History, week after week.
It did not come easily. May I make a wild guess? That 30% of
the 70 plus people on this list might gain a "satisfactory"
understanding of this problem by the time we have run through
it.
After four or so times running through it, I had worked
out a rather difficult handling of the problem for me and, hopefully,
a few others - it was unrealistic.
It was from the seventh
time I got my optimism, and I will be glad if 30% gain (or retain)
some sort of similar optimism (which possibly is only
pragmatism).
All best wishes,
Ant
