Together these form an interrelated triangle. Another tool of considerable importance in Scientology, and one that greatly assists interpersonal relationships, is the principle of affinity , reality and communication. These three interdependent factors may be expressed in a triangle. The first corner of the triangle is affinity , which is the degree of liking or affection or lack of it. It is the feeling of love or liking for something or someone.
Reality is fundamentally agreement.
What we agree to be real is real. The third corner of the triangle is communication, defined as the interchange of ideas or objects between two people. In human relationships this is more important than the other two corners of the triangle. 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 .
