What do we mean by aesthetic?
We mean solely, and only, Beautiful.
Beauty is theta. Any wave close to theta is taken by theta for beauty. A harmony of wave motion is evidently a lower harmonic of beauty. A disharmony of wave motion, no matter how high the wave length, is ugliness. But ugliness is also a wave, a disharmony with the wave length of beauty* but very close to it.
Light and dark waves, as they appear to attention units, go in harmonics all the way down the scale from .00000000000000000000000002 centimeters to the bottom.
It must be remarked that this is an approximation, a rough analogy, for the auditor, not the engineer.
Do NOT get beauty entangled here with LOVE or anything else but beauty. Beauty is a wave length closely resembling theta or a harmony approximating theta. Ugliness is a disharmony in wave discord with theta.
Theta will stop ugliness or disharmony or try to stop it; that is to say, the wave of ugliness will disrupt theta.
This may sound quite poetic. It is, in fact, very “hard boiled” engineering. It is just a matter of wave lengths, apparently.
Thus an incident must have a beauty factor if it is to append itself to theta. Or it must be underlain by an incident with such a beauty factor.
The “beauty” in this case, and where we will find it to audit, is actually a counterfeit of theta, an obsessive beauty which enforces beauty and forbids ugliness. Theta, left alone, will seek beauty and fight or shun ugliness. It would have to be able to if it could be aberrated into an obsession about beauty. That this obsession is present, an auditing test leaves no doubt.
If your preclear will run the concept of beauty in the white of an electronic incident and the concept of ugliness on the black if it insists on coming in, the incident will run out.
Direct the preclear’s attention to the white and have him get the concept that it is beautiful. He will not have to employ much effort to keep it white if he keeps this concept.
If the black keeps encroaching, have him run the concept of ugliness on it. It will lose force.
Some preclears are so badly aberrated that black has become the only desirable shade. Here is the criminal. The preclear can run how beautiful black is. He won’t do it for long.
The original incidents when they were laid in were designed to be obsessive. Most have the beauty-ugly motive. This makes the victim obsessed to keep all calm and not fight.
There are even scenes—”hot facsimile” pictures made of raw energy—to show him beauty. As if theta had no concept.
The other twin which a preclear gets in some incidents is good-evil. Good is a rational level wave, a harmonic on beauty, much lower. It evolves into beauty when run and should to get the incident free. Evil, of course, is as black as white is good. Religious obsessive incidents (complete with religious scenes) come in easily and run when the white is run with the concept “good”. This soon goes up scale to beauty.
All electronic incidents run out on “black and white” with the concept of beauty and with a placing of attention so that the white turns on as bright as possible.
These incidents were intended to be confusing, the better to make a slave obey (they thought). By running half the waves one way and half the other, a beauty-ugly conflict was created.
One side appears to go black when the other is run. Just get the concept of beauty and follow the waves and the concept runs out the confusion.
*Honor, gallantry, purity are lower wave lengths. They can be run until beauty is found.
