What is Trianetics?

What is Trianetics?
Trianetics refers to the new Ziontology-based religion developed entirely, from the ground up, on the fundamental spiritual principles defined by the Church of Ziontology. For more information, please read "The Church of Ziontology: The Postmodern Science of Integral Health" at http://www.ziontology.com/. To begin to understand what Trianetics is all about, let’s start by taking a quick look at a few of the technical terms that are new and specific to the Trianetics religion. Please note that many of these terms are trademarks of StepUpTransform, LLC. The word “Triality” refers to the combined three realities of the physical, mental and spiritual realms. So Triality essentially is a tri-reality. Ziontology is also based on three core concepts, which are a singularity known as Zion, a duality known as xeno/zeno and a triality known as body/mind/soul. The word "Zetan" (often represented simply as the Greek letter “Z”, which is pronounced “Zeta”), refers to one's immortal spirit or soul. Your Zetan is the true you. The goal of Trianetics is to help your Zetan find its trajectory towards Zion. The word "Zion" is your spiritual resting place or your ultimate home in eternity. It’s your own personal promised land. It’s not a physical place, but rather, it’s a singularity in the spiritual realm. Trianetics Counselors are specially trained spiritual practitioners who are Trianetics Certified specifically to help your body, mind and soul to develop and grow in strength and health. This growth is based on the three Ziontological disciplines known as Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation, which pertain to physical, mental and spiritual improvements, respectively. A Trianetics Probing Session focuses on the physical, mental and spiritual processing of both xengrams and zengrams (which will be described shortly). The probing session makes use of a Z-Meter device (also described later in this article) together with physical exercises, such as Trianetic breathing and posturing, as well as thoughtful thinking, vivid visualization and deep meditation exercises, combined with bio-feedback technologies. A xengram is a subject’s painful or destructive event or experience that is often repressed by the subject’s Reluctant Mind. The Reluctant Mind is what some psychiatrists refer to as the subconscious mind, which represses painful memories and is responsible for psychosomatic effects, such as stress headaches, hypertension and even mental illness. However, psychosomatic effects can be either harmful or beneficial. When they are harmful, they are described by psychiatrists as psychosomatic illnesses (which by the way are not "all in your head"). However, Trianetics recognizes that psychosomatic effects can sometimes be of the helpful kind, and they can be leveraged in a constructive way during Probing Sessions. Trianetics also sees the causal relations between body, mind and spirit as two way streets. So, psychosomatic effects, which represent mind-body interactions, work in both directions. This is why, as you probably already know, exercise can help you mentally and spiritually, and why contemplation can help you physically and spiritually and also why meditation can help you physically and mentally. By the way, a zengram is a pleasurable or constructive event, which is never repressed by the Reluctant Mind, and is a wonderful thing indeed. Corresponding to this duality of xengram and zengram, there are also the two associated Trianetic deities, known as Xeno and Zeno. Xeno is the deity that represents the positive, the known, truth, organization, answer, sincerity, cooperation, wheel and rebirth. Zeno is the deity that represents the negative, the unknown, paradox, entropy, question, parody, competition, fire and death. Neither deity is evil nor good. Death gives rise to birth and birth gives rise to death in a cyclic manner. Question leads to answer and answer leads to question. Parody leads to sincerity and sincerity leads to parody. Paradox also leads to truth, and vice-versa. You could say that Xeno and Zeno work as a husband and wife team, and you are their beloved child! Your own Zetan, which represents your own life, and your own spirit, is thus the third deity of the Trianetic Trinity. Together, these three deities form the single entity known as Monad (Godhead). So, hey, you are part of God! I bet you knew it all the time! In many ways Xeno, Zetan and Zeno are very similar to the Hindu trinity (Trimurti) consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, which represent the creator, the preserver and the destroyer, respectively. The Trianetic deities, Xeno and Zeno, are also represented in a parallel manner in Chinese philosophy, in the form of yin and yang. Similarly, just as with yin and yang, Xeno and Zeno represent two opposing and, at the same time, complementary aspects of the Triality. Zetan represents the true you as the neutral observer within this Triality. Your Zetan interacts with Xeno and Zeno as part of your physical, mental and spiritual growth. Xeno and Zeno are equally important to your spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is all about learning. To learn, you need to ask the correct questions and seek the correct answers. Xeno is a question that represents the pain of learning something new. Zeno is the answer to a question and the joy of learning something new. Xeno is pain. Zeno is gain. No pain, no gain! Trianetic Probing helps you do just that, and grow as a result. The eternal cyclic interaction between Xeno and Zeno is sometimes referred to as the Space-time Symphony (mom and dad are fighting again!), within which we have all played a cameo role, for all eternity. The Z-meter is a simple Trianetic device that measures the skin's electrical impedance as a function of time. The letter "Z" in the name refers to the fact that electrical engineering conventions dictate the use of the "Z" symbol to represent a physical quantity known as electrical impedance. Mentally, this impedance represents the Reluctant Mind’s repression of painful xengrams, which must be marshaled and processed during Probing Sessions. Physically, this impedance represents the degree of opposition to an applied time-varying electrical signal as a complex galvanic skin response. Impedance is represented mathematically as a complex variable, and thus, it goes beyond the concept of simple electrical resistance. That is to say, it contains both a real part and an imaginary part. There is a quite bit more to how the Z-Meter works internally than can be adequately described in this short article. Suffice it to say that at least part of its design is based on a very simple electronic circuit commonly known as the Wheatstone bridge. The Z-Meter gathers the impedance data from the hands of the subject, sends it via a USB connection to a personal computer, where it is processed and then it is sent on to the Ziontology Probing Web Service, where it is analyzed and correlated along with the data of other probing sessions (both your previous sessions as well as those of other subjects). It is all done live online, and a Trianetics Counselor is at a remote location, communicating with the subject via voice, video and web-based Trianetics software. So, basically, the Z-Meter is used by a trained Trianetic Counselor during a Probing Session to help guide your Zetan with improved Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation. The entire process is similar to simple traditional bio-feedback techniques, but it is much more comprehensive and effective. A Probing Session can sometimes be emotionally painful, but the pain is a necessity for continued spiritual growth. The goal is to provide physical, mental and spiritual counseling and guidance such that your Zetan can reach a Big Xen or a Big Zen (i.e. a major milestone) towards Zion. A Big Xen is a spiritually deep and significant question that you discover that you must ask yourself, which can indeed be very painful. A Big Zen is a spiritually deep and important answer that you discover about yourself that you have come to understand and accept. When both a Big Xen and a Big Zen both take place during a single Probing Session, it is often referred to as a Win-Win. Each Probing session is part of a carefully planned cyclical sequence of scheduled steps, developed between you and your counselor, which is a process collectively known as the Zionetic Life Cycle (ZLC). The ZLC represents a charted course that is essentially a spiral trajectory towards Zion. And finally, on an entirely unrelated note, one more term worth mentioning here is “Z-Org” (Zee Organization), which refers to the administrative organization of the Church of Ziontology, which is also the jurisdiction under which the Trianetic religion falls under.
