The dynamic principle of existence
"Now,
in Dianetics, the dynamic principle of existence, as agreed
upon by all animals, and so forth, and beings, was said to
be survive. And we know just a little bit more than
that. That was observable, and you'll find that in Book One,
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.
"In Scientology we've advanced this just a little further
and we know the dynamic principle of existence in Scientology
broadens out to create. The dynamic principle of existence
is creating. The action of creation is the dynamic principle
of existence."

More on the cycle of action
An article by L. Ron Hubbard
from the Melbourne Congress lectures
But let us examine this cycle-of-action as it is examined
in Fundamentals of Thought and we'll find out something
very interesting. Creation to persist, as in survival, has
to be continuously created. So it's create (that was the beginning)
and then you get create-create-create-create-create, see,
continuous creation. We get the persistence of something if
it's continuously created, and then one of two things would
happen: It would either be continuously created or not created
at all and you'd get absolute destruction. But if the continuous
creation changed while it was being continuously createdyou
created something on it to change its form or alter it or
vary it in some wayyou would get the destruction of
the original form. You get the idea?
There is no such thing as an absolute destruction except
ceasing to create. And this is one of the most fundamental
fundamentals of this universe. And these particular discoveries,
and so forth, take nuclear physicists and leave them with
terrible headaches because they're more simple and more fundamental
than nuclear physics, because it gives you the character of
matter.
And you can go off into complications that have gimmicks
and ruddy rods and quantum mechanics and everything else all
piled on top of this thing, gah-woof!
What is still being created that everything else is creating an alteration
of? Well, that is the fundamental building block of the universe. It's that
thing which is still being created that a great many alter-isnesses have been
created about.
Right now you almost never see a pure cycle-of-action. A
pure cycle-of-action would simply be this: A fellow creates
something, then he continues to create this thing so that
it looks like it's persisting, you see, and then ceases to
create it at which moment it disappears. Now, that would be
a knowing, meaning, clear-cut cycle-of-action. That would
be in its simplest form, and that's the only kind of real
destruction there would be. You'd just cease to create somebody
and that would be destruction in an absolute nature.
Now, wherewhere do we go astray on destruction and
how do things get so mishmashed and why is everybody so puzzled
about it all? Well, it's just that most destruction is not
cessation of creation. It's an additional creation on top
of the object which is being destroyed. We have a form and
we put some dynamite in it and it goes boom! And we say, "Well,
we destroyed that!" Oh, did we? What are all those fragments
lying all over the place?
So, destruction is actually basically an alter-isness. What
people call destruction is an alter-isness. It's never the
cessation of anything. So if you wonder if somebody gets in
trouble if he goes around destroying things well, the
more he destroys, the more he doesn't get rid of, because
he's got the bits and pieces left forever lying all over the
place, because he still must be creating whatever he tried
to destroy.

Success from listening
to the Congress lectures
"I've been listening to the Congresses in order since they
came out. There is something I noticed that I was aware of
in the late 80s when I was doing the lower levels as an auditor.
At that time, I was also listening to the PDC lectures and
I was surprised to find that the data on these (OT stuff)
was paralleling what I was learning on the levels. In present
time, the Congress lectures always coincide with something
I am doing on different dynamics. I'm on an Advanced Course
and I can't tell you how many times a datum has been applicable
to what I was doing. As an auditor, the lectures gave me more
data on the Objectives I was running at that exact moment.
On the 3rd dynamic, he spoke of applicable things in the Games
Congress lectures and the Washington Anti-Radiation Congress
lectures. Auditing is only one side of the Bridge. You just
have to do both!"
