Meditation: ARC Triangle

TYPE: Communication

PURPOSE: This Audio-visual Meditation Loop gives experiential access to the famous ARC Triangle. The message? Begin with affinity!

What is the ARC Triangle? Click here for full details. Here is the definitive answer from Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought:

The inter-relationship of the triangle becomes apparent at once when one asks, “Have you ever tried to talk to an angry man?” Without a high degree of liking and without some basis of agreement there is no communication. Without communication and some basis of emotional response there can be no reality. Without some basis for agreement and communication there can be no affinity. Thus we call these three things a triangle. Unless we have two corners of a triangle, there cannot be a third corner. Desiring any corner of the triangle, one must include the other two.

Fun Fact
Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought is the best of all the Scientology books. The chapters are pithy, dramatic, and fun. Stylistically, it is certainly the best.

CONTEXT: Scotty grins widely at Kirk, expresses affinity. Bones, witnessing the outflow in an unusually solid posture, establishes its reality. Kirk, inspired by the outflow and the witnessing, it then moved to communicate. Outside the triangle is Nurse Chapel, who, seeing the triangle from above, understands it.

METHOD: Take-in the personages as archetypal energies. There are two parts:

  1. Full establishing (loop).
  2. Abbreviated heartbeat (loop).

Full establishing

INT. SICKBAY

SCOTT: Captain? Captain Kirk.

Abbreviated heartbeat

  1. For the first four iterations, move your attention from Scotty, to Chapel, to Kirk, and to Bones.
  2. For the remaining iterations, keep your attention on Nurse Chapel.
  3. Throughout the Meditation Loop, intend the pulsing sounds (made of breath and Kirk’s lip moisture) as your own heartbeat. (It’s rate is 110 BPM.) This will both internalize and naturalize your own proclivity for establishing ARC links with others.
