The importance of granting beingness  
 

"But above all those things is an individual's ability to grant beingness to the moment. Grant beingness to the past, to the future, grant beingness to others, grant beingness to his own objects. And grant beingness and then not be afraid of it. And having granted beingness, why, go right on granting more beingness, rather than stop granting beingness simply because some of it bit him. …

"One cannot become able in life be fearing to live it. Never. And he can't be himself without being willing to grant beingness, because he's the only one that can grant beingness to himself."


—L. Ron Hubbard

Ability to grant beingness
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from The Rehabilitation of the Human Spirit lectures

When Mike Angelo painted something or sculpted something, it was quite perfect in its form. But if it was just form that we were going on today, just form alone—see, we're right up there on the border of not quite able to talk about this. MEST language sort of goes by the boards. The form and line of the painting and of the statue is good. It's good enough so that you see a photograph of it and you think that's fine. And it isn't until you confront an original Mike Angelo, vis-à-vis, that you realize that the fellow who painted this thing really meant it. The amount of life in the statue itself, which is being controlled and held down in some fashion or another—the thing is just about to become a nova or something. It's—the amount of vitality. Now we are into, practically, necromancy. In other words, that thing is alive, and its life is quite apparent even to a street urchin.

Now, I saw one time a very beautiful white statue by an artist, or by a sculptor, whose name I haven't any inkling of at all; and it was in a perfectly strange and peculiar part of the world that you wouldn't expect an artist to have lived in; and it was so simple as to form that it was hardly guilty of being a statue at all—which yet had impressed into it so much vitality, of a sort of a calm and pervading nature, that it was actually filling up a whole patio full of calmness.

The thing was alive. There was no doubt about it at all. And this was not something which a gifted few would perceive. Those people who are completely dedicated to the plow might not have seen it very easily, but every beggar and peddler and maid and person and gentleman and clerk on that street would come over by that patio and sit down and look at the statue for a short time almost every evening. There were many better places to sit. But they would come in and they'd look at the statue, see? It was alive, there was no doubt about that. And of course, one could even say that they themselves by looking at it and granting it further being, it kept up the tradition of its existence. And so you had a living something.

Have you ever seen a house that nobody lived in go to pieces and lose its beingness? Have you ever seen a town lose its beingness? Or have you ever felt directly the beingness of a town? People keep up this beingness.

Now, an artist can come in—a writer, a poet, something of this sort—and grant a new beingness to a town. Sort of out of whole cloth, he just looks around and he says, "Why, you have a beautiful town here," and so forth, and he tells the people all about it. And they've never granted any beingness at all. They're so busy trying to keep each other from eating each other up, they've never noticed this; but this is something they can agree upon, this town. And the town comes to life, just to that degree. It is alive then.

Operate from an OT® perspective

A thetan operates as a paradox. He's "trying" to survive when he can't do anything but survive. He looks in a mirror and thinks he sees "himself" but what does he really see? A MEST universe lie created to keep him from going free.

In The Rehabilitation of the Human Spirit lectures, LRH shatters these lies and the complexities that have kept you trapped in a MEST body and reveals OT data found nowhere else that will give you a reflection of your true nature as a spiritual being.

67 life-changing lectures

In this series, LRH talks directly to you, the thetan, revealing his breakthroughs into the realm of exteriorization, postulates and a thetan's ability to predict and cause the future.

He begins the series with one proviso: "Be surprised at nothing." For what was about to be revealed resembled nothing man had ever known before—the most advanced upper level material regarding postulates and exteriorization ever released.

Delivered in 1953 in Camden, New Jersey, the Second American Advanced Clinical Course lectures directly followed the first ACC (Exteriorization and the Phenomena of Space) where LRH expanded on the research and application of auditing techniques to exteriorize and free the spirit.

MEST universe—an endless mirror maze

This series provides the knowledge you need to escape the endless mirror maze of the MEST universe. You'll learn how you originally mocked up this "game called life" then put it on automatic and forgot you did it. And LRH gives you the precise technology to take back control.

You'll find the exact point where a thetan gets trapped in this universe and how you reverse this ageless dilemma. Without this one datum, you could continue to make the same mistake for eternity.

Did you ever try to sit down to "figure out something?" In this lecture series you'll discover this is the WRONG way to accomplish anything—it's actually a trap. And LRH provides the solution—the OT means of achieving your goals in life!
