Hi David I am about the same place in understanding as you are, I have not been able form any practical examples in my mind yet.
I did an electronics course many years ago where Boolean Algebra is used to understand how digital microchips operate but I didn't have a deep understanding of it then because I was more into analogue devices. See this page here for diagrams as to how AND, OR and other types of gates work, it's not that difficult to understand. http://www.opamp-electronics.com/tutorials/digital_theory_ch_007.htm Boolean algebra is different to the type of mathematical algebra as most children in school are taught or used to be. It is used in computers, that's how they work, in this type of algebra Dennis is using there are only 2 possible values for any quantity or arithmetic operation and that is 1 or 0 or you could put it as True or False, there is no other result it's either 1 or 0, computer chips use this. There are a few types of these gates or ways of operating in this science, OR, NOR, AND, NAND, NOT types. At the moment I have learnt enough, I am going back to study the theory again, I am also going back to the talk which started all this Level 2 of TROM and pick it up from there. Dennis only uses a few examples of the X+Y sort of thing and from that I hope to get my first understanding of how He is using this Boolean algebra for explaining how the mind or spiritual postulates work.

But this boolean algebra stuff as well as the know cycle and postulate stuff , is going to soon make me pull my hair out. :- ) Can any of you guys please give some practical life situation examples to help give reality to the subject of this Boolean Algebra and the know cycle/ the downward spiral and the failed postulate process? As LRH so clearly stated in his study tech that a lack of understanding is due to a lack of reality ( at least in part ) . Then this question is addressed to Pete, In an earlier post you said something to the effect about postulates that are made of no words. How do you deal with such things? To me it is like trying to grab on to a hand full of smoke.

It's quite funny in a way because if a stray cat turns up in my garden and either my Wife or I spot it, the first thing we want to do is to feed it. There's that poor cat looking uncared for and it looks up at me with those sad eyes and I think I am the one controlling this situation and it's not, I am being controlled or caused to act in a certain way by the cat. It's like I'm watching a film let's say and there are two criminals who are about to commit a robbery, suddenly a police car comes around the corner and one of the criminals might say something like, "It's the cops, lets get out of here quick!!" those are the words but the actual cause was the sighting of the police. I am getting back to the theory on this now, here is something I want to understand properly. I may not have got it quite right yet but I will. The reason I ask this type of question is because I have recall going back to such items as being carried up the road by my Mother or Father as a baby and I know for a fact that I was fully aware and that I did not think in words at that time, the only word I can use is a wondering about what was going on around me. So thanks. Mike Hi Mickel I don't make postulates in words. I see a pretty girl and I want her. I see an easy profit to be made and start doing the work necessary to get it. I only use words when I want to explain or justify what I am doing to others.

The Conditions of Life talk is very good for explaining these things. I was leaving out the games conditions. Here is a question I have often thought about and that is to do with postulates. How are postulates made if a Spiritual Being has no language. I mean. a baby or very young child, a Being without a body or someone who has very little language how are these postulates made. For instance, I could say, I don't like spiders, that is an on going consideration made with the English language, but what is it above that, does anyone know, is it something like a Being perceives something and then makes a spiritual intent which is then converted into words, I have never been able to understand that. Best Mike Mike Dear Pete After ploughing my way through that lot I think I am going to inquire as to if the medical fraternity has got around to doing brain transplants yet, I might see if I can get an exchange for one that actually works. It's a very interesting subject and one I am determined to get a very good understnding of, the reason why follows. Like many people I have had days or moments when the bank, mind and masses that I am immersed in have suddenly dropped away, a major keyout is probably what it is called in Scientology. I know for a fact that like Dennis says when he could find no more items or charge in the mind that a person finds there is no where else to go, it's a clear state, a joyful state, magic appears to happen, it's completely effortless, a person moves above time or causality. It can be seen that there is no timetrack that we normally are aware of and many other things, a view for instance of your own immortality. Anyway, the point I am trying to make here is that a person who has this type of experience finds there is no where else to go, where can you go other than where you are right now, there is no higher state, this type of thing can last for minutes years or a lifetime. So for me I came to the conclusion a long time ago that either that's it, that's the end, there is nothing else to attain or I have to search for someone who had found something beyond that point of what might be called a Oneness with everything, Dennis came to the same conclusion when he had flattened everything. There is no other path I can take, it's either what I am calling Spiritual postulates, goals packages or it's what the non duality philosophy finds. That is the reason I want to get a good understanding of this Boolean Algebra. So Thanks, I am going to save this in my TROM folder and read it as I go along.
