       "Unfortunately for the world of action, it will be
       discovered that
       one who can confront everything, does not have to handle
       anything.  In
       support of this is offered that Scientology process "Problems of
       Comparable Magnitude".
       In this particular process the individual being processed
       is asked to
       select a terminal with which he has had difficulty.  In that the
       definition of a terminal is a 'live mass' or something that is
       capable of
       causing, receiving or relaying communication, it will be seen
       that
       terminals are quite ordinary people in the problem category of
       anyone's
       bank.
       The person is then asked to invent a problem of comparable
       magnitude to that person.  He is asked to do this many many
       times.
       It is found midway in the process that he is willing to do
       something
       now about the problems he is having with that person.  But at
       the end
       of the process a new and strange thing is found to occur.  The
       individual
       no longer feels that he MUST do something about the problem.
       Indeed, he can simply confront or regard or view the
       problem with
       complete equanimity.  Now an almost mystic quality enters this
       when it is
       discovered that the problem in the physical universe about which
       he has
       been worried often ceases to exist out there.  In other words,
       the
       handling of a problem seems to be simply the increase of ability
       to
       confront the problem, and when the problem can be totally
       confronted it no
       longer exists.  This is strange and miraculous."
