Apparency means “appears to be,” as distinct from what actually is.
This cycle is only an apparency. It is what we see, what we behold, what we believe. We consider that it is so and then we see it so.
A child is born, he grows, he reaches manhood, he grows old, he dies. In Scientology it can be seen that none of these steps are necessary. One considers them so, and so they are “true.” A man can grow old quickly or slowly. He grows old to the degree that he believes he is growing old. Because everyone agrees that this is the way things are, they go that way. The cycle is not true. It is only apparent. It is apparent because we believe we see it. It is apparent because we agree that it should be so.
