Oh yes. Its been there for years, but finding the application of
it and really getting it makes a difference.

When Hubbard said the question IS the answer, what the hell did he
mean? I mean how is a question an answer?

Well to a meatball it makes no sense, but to a being that obtains
in the mere conception of having, the pre postulations that questions
commit to, are deadly.

The Proof talks endlessly about the cycle of creation, wherein a
being creates something via Looking by Knowing, and then flip flops into
making it persist via Knowing by Looking, which is learning about it and
question asking.

The efforts to ask the questions of life tie up the body in force
and pain. The questions that have sunk into failure, forgetfulness and
oblivion still wriggle once in a while causing alarming pains and
shifts in internal arrangement and mood.

In auditing you want to spot the incident, find the postulates,
spot the questions, make sure the asking of the questions ceases utterly
in present time and forever more. The common cognition to every
incident is how the question about "the condition postulated", continued
the condition postulated.

You can't just stop asking questions, but once you hit the big ones
and run them and spot how the question about the condition is and always
was and always will be the answer to itself, then the mind just sits
still. There is just no reason to move.

I mean if you never HAD to ask or answer another question ever
again, would that be heaven on Earth?

You see the being postulates something, any postulate is a decent
from surviving by being into becoming, its a change, hence becoming.

If the being loses sight of HOW he does this, then he feels
survival is ONLY by becoming. But that means he CAN not survive, so
he has to continually question how to continue to survive, think,
think, think.

Thinking is question asking is thinking is question asking.

Hubbard said it when he mentioned that thinking was the silliest
activity there was. Few got it, because it makes no sense if all there
is, is surviving by becoming.

The ONLY way to survive by becoming is to think, compute on DOING =
KNOWING + WANTING.

What do I want? What do I know? What should I do?

Once a being falls away from knowing that he can survive outside of
time by being, and can't help but do so, he gets the idea he can die.

You can only die forever IN TIME.

This scares the hell out of him, the mere contemplation of the
possibility of dying forever, to be no more etc, is enough to make him
feel so bad he becomes just SURE its quite possible, for no being who
couldn't die could ever feel that way! :)

Adore calls that the Doubt Effect.

Feelings generated by doubting immortality or Eternality are
further evidence of mortality!

This is the decent into seriousness and dramatization.

Dramatization means to bring drama to.

Drama is seriousness, importance, *PERMANENCE* and pain.

Drama enters when FOREVER enters into the realm of becoming.

To become something FOREVER is hell forever, to become nothing
FOREVER is death forever. Both are lies.

The permanence of dying forever, of becoming nothing forever, is
infinite, and thus the seriousness of this becomes infinite too, so the
being starts to dramatize INFINITELY on the subject of how to survive
FOREVER. But that's a game he can't win. He isn't trying to BE
forever, he's trying to BECOME forever, and he knows damn well that it
just won't work.

There is no ethics to a mortal.

As the questions on how to survive forever begin to fail, one by
one, they fail into infinite charge in the back of the brain, sink into
oblivion where the beast is 'never disturbed', and pretty soon, like
layers of sediment, you have layers of dead questions, each containing
infinite charge on infinite failure of infinite survival.

It's this question stack of pancakes that needs to be audited.

It is mind (question asking) and becoming in time that keeps the
stack charged and stirred up, seething in the bowels of the spirit.
