Psycanics: A Science of Being and Life

Text Conventions Guide

Psycanics is a powerful spiritual science and personal development technology. One of the sources of its power is its precise nomenclature that has been carefully designed to get you to look at and start thinking about your existence in a certain way. (Also see the Psycanics Dictionary of Technical Terms.)

The key to understanding psycanics is learning its nomenclature. At first, the definitions and concepts may seem strange and confusing, especially as many concepts can only be understood by understanding other concepts: psycanics is not linear, but an interconnected sphere of knowledge. The student must, piece by piece, construct a conceptual sphere in which all the concepts are inter-related.

To get the most out of this site, please note the following recommendations and text conventions:

1. Spiritual Versus Religious
2. Comprehension
3. Acronyms, Abbreviations, Symbols, Formulas and Equations
4. Polarities and the Symbol +/-
5. Gender
6. Word Equations
7. Words in ALL CAPS
8. Capital First Letter Only

Spiritual Versus Religious

The word "spiritual" is often written "spirit-ual." This is to remind the reader not to confuse spiritual with religious.

• Spiritual means "related to spirit," to a non-physical, Life-energy entity. Spirit means "Life" or the "Animating Factor" in the universe. Its prime characteristics are Awareness, Will and Essence. There is only ONE SPIRIT or LIFE ESSENCE BEING (aka t that in different levels and amounts, imbues ITSELF into forms, creating the apparency of many separated, individual BEings. You are a spirit, a Life-Energy entity, temporarily focused in a physical body. All the laws of Spirit and spirit-ual energy apply to you.
• Religious means "related to a registered brand of dogmas, doctrines, and rituals about the SUPREME BEING."

Many people confuse these words, spiritual and religious, thinking they are more or less the same. However, they are not only not the same , but are sometimes opposites. Something can be very spiritual and not at all religious, e.g. meditation and mysticism.

And something can be very religious and not at all spiritual, e.g. dogmas and doctrines, intolerance of other religions, intolerance of free thinking, intolerance of ideas such as spirits and past lives, terrorism, inquisitions, crusades, jihads and other "holy" wars.

Psycanics is highly spiritual in that it deals with you as a spirit and how you function spirit-ually. Psycanics is not a religion and is not religious: it eschews dogmas, doctrines, faith and belief. It is a science, founded on evidence and proof. As we shall see, religions are unfounded belief systems without evidence, and are therefore logically, philosophically and scientifically NOT TRUE.*

Comprehension

Knowledge is Power. Comprehension is Knowledge. Never proceed beyond a word or idea that is not completely clear to you. Mis-understandings and confusion snowball, as each basic idea not understood impossibilitates the understanding of the following ideas that build up the previous ones. To continue reading beyond a misunderstood word is to guarantee increasing difficulty and eventual total failure in understanding any text.

Whenever you do not understand something, the problem is one or more mis-understood words in the idea. You are studying a powerful science, and like all sciences, it has a precise, technical terminology that permits fast and accurate communication. However, you must know the meanings of the terms. You can find all terms on the Psycanics Dictionary of Technical Terms. You will need it and an English language dictionary [opens a new page].

NEVER PROCEED BEYOND SOMETHING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND FULLY.

STOP and CLEAR the meaning of the words in the sentence, and only proceed when the meaning of the sentence is clear.

Acronyms, Abbreviations, Symbols, Formulas and Equations

Psycanics has many acronyms, abbreviations and symbols: PIRs, NIRs, RExp, RespExp, neg emo, emolovejoy, Rxx, Perxx, UPS, to name a few.

Examples: The symbol "→" means "Causes or Produces." BE→FEEL means "BE causes FEEL." UPS means "Unhappiness, Pain and Suffering."

Each is a symbol to be learned and connected with its concept. These are listed in the Psycanics Dictionary of Technical Terms.

Polarities and the Symbol +/-

Many of the most important phenomena of existence, and therefore in psycanics, are Polarities. When the concept of Polarity is important to the term being discussed, the symbols of +/- will be added before or after the word.

Examples of the use of the Polarity symbol +/-.

• Emotion+/- means "both positive emotions and negative emotions," or "any emotion whether positive or negative," or "the entire Emotion Polarity Scale from lowest negative to highest positive."
• Love+/- means both positive love and negative love.

The term "anti" may be used to express the negative polarity, for examples:

• "The concept of Power+/- includes +Power and AntiPower."
• "The negative polarity of Love is AntiLove."

Gender

Where a sentence includes both or either gender, we use these dual gender forms: s/he for she or he; hir for him or her; hirself for himself or herself. Example: Whoever fixed that; s/he is very intelligent, but s/he left behind hir tools.

Word Equations

You will often see two or more words with an equal (=) sign between them, and all the words underlined to group them into that thusly-created word equation. The equal sign between the words means that the underlined words share the same concept; or one thing is included in the other, or they are in some way highly related as to meaning.

Underlined word equations connect or unite different words that refer to the same phenomenon. This is extremely important to full conceptual comprehension.

Three examples of word equations:

1. negative emotions = MODs = activations= resistance = AntiLove = UPS
2. consciousness = perception = feeling = experience = knowing
3. Emotions+/- = Love+/- = Happiness+/-

In each example, these words appear to be different phenomena, but they are really all the same thing. It is unfortunate that we have different words for the same thing as this has prevented real understanding of the phenomenon.

For example; we will show that Emotions+/- = Love+/- = Happiness+/- are all the same thing. Until you understand this, you do not really understand any of them and are lacking critical data about how your life works.

When studying, until you understand why and how the equation-linked phenomena are all the same, you have not understood any of them fully. Any time you do not understand why the equal sign is there, why and how the terms are intimately related, you do not have full conceptual understanding in the area.

Make sure that you understand the sentence with each of the words individually and with all the words together. At first, word equations may feel a little awkward, but you will soon get used to it and eventually appreciate how they add to your understanding.

Words in ALL CAPS

1. All words referring to that indefinable FIRST CAUSE beyond human comprehension are written in all caps; and there are many. Examples include: INFINITE, CONSCIOUSNESS, INTELLIGENCE, LOVE; WISDOM, CREATOR, CAUSE, WILL, POWER, ENERGY, ESSENCE, SPACE, the ONE, the ALL THAT IS, IT, the EVERYTHING-NOTHING, TAO, GOD, SOURCE, ESSENCE, etc. Pronouns referring to IT are also capitalized and will usually be dual gender: S/HE, HIR, ITSELF, etc.
2. The elements of the Causal Sequence, BE→FEEL→THINK→RELATE/DO→HAVE, are always written in all caps to make sure that the reader recognizes that we are referring to elements of the Causal Sequence. This rule includes their derivatives such as BEing, FEELing, FELT, RELATEing, RELATIONS, DOing, DID, HAVEing, HAD, etc. When you see any of these words with capital letters, remember to add in the entire concept of the Causal Sequence and of that element of the Causal Sequence in particular.
3. Your BEing consists of all your IDentities. IDentities are written in capital letters: for example: I am able; I am intelligent; I can do it. The purpose is to insure that the reader recognizes that these are IDentities and that all the laws of IDentities apply. Like BAD and the Causal Sequence, IDentity is a crucial concept in Psycanics.
4. BAD and, when important: TRUTH are written in all caps to remind the reader of their total concept and the extreme importance of those concepts to human existence. As an example of such importance: BAD is the only entry point to AntiLove; it is the only cause of all pain and suffering.
5. The first time a technical term of the psycanics terminology is introduced in the text, it may be written in capital letters for emphasis: e.g. ACTIVATION. It will also be defined at that point.

Capital First Letter Only

Words with a capital first letter refer to the entire psycanic concept of that phenomenon. The major psycanic concepts are usually so complex and extensive that they can require entire books to explain. Examples of such major concepts include: Love, Power, Cause, Polarity, Responsability, Fatal Paradigm, and Victim. IDentity and SPace are written with the first two letters capitalized that are also their abbreviations: ID and SP. Each of these concepts is a major and important concept in psycanics and the first letter is capitalized to help the reader remember this when s/he sees the term.
