The manipulation of chance and
probability.
The pulling in of serendipitous
coincidences, and also the pulling in of motivators for one’s overts.
The future is in flux, predetermined
in the ordered motions of physics but indeterminate in the subtler
interactions of particles and random variables.
The flux responds to thought, and
especially to strong visualizations, whether intentional or reactive,
because these mimic the observation which breaks down the probability waves
into actuality.
All participate in this working out
of the future into the present, whether consciously or unconsciously.
The subtle influence of chance
events can never be proven because by its very nature it is always in
accordance with physical laws and can be shown to be a random occurrence.
Even long runs of luck are provided
for and even required in the mathematical analysis of statistical
probability.
And yet there are born losers and
people upon whom luck always shines.
This is all in accordance with
(although not stated or proved by) the modern theories of Quantum Mechanics
which sees all existence as consisting of probability waves which are broken
down into reality by the action of observation.
Gaining a larger say in the workings
of probability is not the exclusive prerogative of the Scientology OT.
Many methods, from Positive Thinking
to Trusting That God Will Provide are all capable of raising the level of
your input into this flux.
Deep Faith is one of the strong
amplifiers.
It matters not what the faith is in,
it is the raw power of the faith itself which can alter the flow of events.
This is a good reason for giving
respect to holy men of all persuasions.
Even the businessman’s faith in
himself or the craftsman’s faith in his ability have their impact.
Self-confidence is often seen as a
key to power.
But there are negative aspects to
raising your input into this flux.
Your subconscious reactive thoughts
may bring on your fate instead of your desire.
The selfish businessman is always
risking the backlash of his own overts when he begins to push his horsepower
up with various tricks and gimmicks.
The holy people are much safer as
long as they don’t turn hypocritical or discover the flaws in their belief
systems and moral codes. In theory, the Scientologists should be in the best
position to handle this flux safely because of the concentration on
responsibility and the handling of overts, but in practice, they are at risk
when they let fanaticism override good sense and judgment.
