Question 2

What are the 8 dynamics?

The eight dynamics are the parts of an individual effort
to survive.

Question 3

What two universes do we have in relation to the eight dynamics?

Answer 3

Now we have eight dynamics as parts of the whole MEST university, so that we have two universes here. We have the universe of the individual and we have the universe of the universe, the whole thing, and each one of them is described by eight dynamics.

And don’t think there are things that you will find in the whole universe that you don’t find in the individual, or things you’ll find in the individual that you won’t find out in the whole universe.

Question 4

From which mistake derives the individual his first aberration?

Answer 4

So we get interaction of survival where the individual identifies his own universe with the entire MEST universe and from this identification, from this mistake, derives the first aberration. It’s a mistake.

Question 5

What’s the only way the individual will get thoroughly controlled?

Answer 5

The only person who will ever give him serenity is him. And the only way he’ll ever get thoroughly controlled is to become dependent upon the MEST universe counterpart of one of his dynamics.

Question 6

What’s bad about dependency?

Answer 6

It’s knowing or unknowing. You know you’re dependent or you don’t know you’re dependent. If you don’t know you’re dependent, that’s bad because there is a hidden influence. Hidden influences are what have cut you off from all your dynamics.

Question 8

Why does scarcity occur?

Answer 8

Scarcity occurs because people want attention.

The Factors Disc 4 track 6

Question 9

How does a person loose his ability to perceive?

Answer 9

And it’s on the scarcity of anchor points that a person loses his ability to perceive!

Of course, one wants them scarce because he’s afraid of what he’ll perceive no after a while! Everybody has been telling him it’s bad over that way.
