 How does the placebo effect fit into the eighth dynamics?

In Scientology, the placebo effect, which demonstrates the mind's power to influence the body, is understood through the lens of the Eight Dynamics, with a particular focus on the role of the individual's spiritual being (thetan), their beliefs, and their ability to effect change.
 
Here's how it fits:
  • Seventh Dynamic (Spiritual): The placebo effect, by its very nature, highlights the power of the mind and spirit over the physical body. In Scientology, the Seventh Dynamic is the urge to survive as spiritual beings. The placebo effect demonstrates the individual's inherent capacity to influence their own well-being through belief and expectation. This aligns with the concept of the Seventh Dynamic, where one's spiritual beingness and one's ability to create and cause survival play a significant role.
  • First Dynamic (Self): The placebo effect is intensely personal. It depends on the individual's belief in the treatment and their expectation of positive results. This directly relates to the First Dynamic, the urge to survive as oneself. The individual's personal belief system and mental state influence their physical experience, highlighting the mind-body connection that Scientology acknowledges.
  • Thetans and Control: Scientology posits that individuals are "thetans," spiritual beings who are inherently capable of controlling their minds and bodies. The placebo effect can be viewed as an example of this innate capacity at work. When a person believes a placebo will help them, they are, in essence, exercising a degree of control over their physical reality, albeit through unconscious mechanisms. Through auditing, Scientology aims to help individuals consciously regain and enhance this control, moving beyond the level of the placebo effect towards greater spiritual and physical well-being.
  • Engrams and the Reactive Mind: Scientology posits that negative experiences or traumas, called "engrams", can become lodged in the reactive mind and affect an individual's physical and mental health. While the placebo effect can bring temporary relief, Scientology suggests that it may not address the underlying engrams that contribute to the condition. Auditing aims to address these underlying causes, helping individuals achieve a more lasting and profound level of well-being that surpasses the effects of the placebo.

In essence, Scientology would view the placebo effect not as a mystery, but as a demonstration of the inherent power of the individual as a spiritual being (thetan). It is a natural phenomenon that can be further understood and consciously harnessed through the application of Scientology principles and practices, leading to a greater level of control and survival across all Eight Dynamics.

Religion went off the rails with Atheism, Medicine went off the rails with Pharmacology.

 It is easy to see where Religion went off the rails with Atheism, Buddhism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Muslims, and the long, corrupt Catholic Church, and their hatred has been a hatred of women, housing them in sexless clothes, and close to controlling all children through schooling. 90% plus percent of nuns are allowed to become lesbians. 10% is used to fulfill the father's primal urges for natural sex. This is a natural state of a female's body, such as menstruation. Used as misdirection so the good father could harvest and sexualize children while murdering those that would raise cane or cause the hair to stand up on their real dads' necks. That is enough about the tens of millions of children in the world infected with their religious care. These are the real devils and monsters that Jesus warned us about. Without clarity or advance understanding Mom and dad let the church steel there daughter and convert them into zombies and sex slave for those priest stil...

Justification = creates the evil empires of Humanity. Justification all thing go back to Religion.

A Malaysian court has dropped money-laundering charges against former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Mr. Najib was ousted from office and convicted of corruption in 2020 concerning embezzling a multibillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund. Last year, his prison sentence was reduced to six years, and his fine was lowered to $11 million. Additionally, in November, charges of misappropriating public funds were dismissed.   One wonders why there is such grief, criminality, and deceit within the world. The reason can be summed up in one word: justification. Justification is a concept that can topple kings and dismantle governments. It is revered by a powerful group associated with the justice system. In a sense, it resembles a distorted form of the placebo effect.    Why pray when one can engage in reckless behavior instead? Some take from the weak—particularly children—their future, all so that the privileged few can play now. This leader should have been held accountable for the g...
