It is interesting when some old well-worn Scientology phenomena such as problems and solutions resolves. | It is interesting when some old well-worn Scientology phenomena such as problems and solutions resolves. |
I noted in 1956 that problems tended to collapse upon one as he solved them, if you will recall. When you asked someone to invent a problem of comparable magnitude, his problem went further away in distance. When you asked someone for a solution to his problem the problem approached closer. | I noted in 1956 that problems tended to collapse upon one as he solved them, if you will recall.

Well, I have now found the reason for this — the “penalty of solving”. It is, I might comment, not an unimportant discovery for we all become victims of problem-collapse when we solve things. This is why people won’t solve their problems, why they “have to have problems”. | Well, I have now found the reason for this — the “penalty of solving”.

Failure to make solutions (or postulates) stick elsewhere makes the thetan “believe” that solutions collapse problems on him. | Failure to make solutions (or postulates) stick elsewhere makes the thetan “believe” that solutions collapse problems on him. |
A process to demonstrate the first observation is well known — problems of comparable magnitude — and getting the pc to then “solve the problem” (this last of course is not “therapeutic”). | A process to demonstrate the first observation is well known — problems of comparable magnitude — and getting the pc to then “solve the problem” (this last of course is not “therapeutic”). |
