POSTULATE
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A postulate is a conclusion, decision, or resolution made by the individual on their own self-determinism. It can resolve a problem of the past, address something in the present, or set a pattern for the future, and it is always known to the person making it.
Why It Matters
The postulate is a fundamental mechanism of spiritual cause—it is the means by which a thetan acts upon the theta universe, the physical universe, or other universes. Understanding postulates is central to auditing because many conditions trace back to postulates the person has made.
