L Ron Hubbard wrote the following in 1954:
The Axioms
Axiom One: Life is basically a static. (Definition: A life static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or in time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive.)
Definition: In Scientology, the word ‘postulate’ means to cause a thinkingness or consideration. It is a specially applied word and is defined as causative thinkingness.
Axiom Two: The static is capable of considerations, postulates and opinions.
Axiom Three: Space, energy, objects, form and time are the results of considerations made and/or agreed upon or not by the static, and are perceived solely because the static considers that it can perceive them.
Axiom Four: Space is a viewpoint of dimension. (Space is caused by looking out from a point. The only actuality of space is the agreed-upon consideration that one perceives through something and this we call space.)
Axiom Five: Energy consists of postulated particles in space. (One considers that energy exists and that he can perceive energy. One also considers that energy behaves according to certain agreed-upon laws. These assumptions and considerations are the totality of energy.)
Axiom Six: Objects consist of grouped particles and solids.
Axiom Seven: Time is basically a postulate that space and particles will persist. (The rate of their persistence is what we measure with clocks and the motion of heavenly bodies.)
Axiom 8: The apparency of time is the change of position of particles in space.
Axiom 9: Change is the primary manifestation of time.
Axiom 10: The highest purpose in the universe is the creation of an effect.

Does the Soul Exist? Evidence Says Yes
and
Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn’t The End.
Both of these articles were published in Psychology Today.
Is it not a travesty that corporate Scientologists would be burned at the stake (figuratively) if they were to dare to even take a peek at such a magazine? Is it not a travesty that Scientology Inc is busy using the billions you have donated to them to stage public demonstrations of their flat earth mentality while science catches up with L Ron Hubbard?
Thank God for independence in religion, science and other vehicles of truth-seeking.
Transcend or descend.
