What is the UCP Chart of Scales?
The Universal Conscious Practice (UCP) is a very simple and effective way to raise your awareness of what's going on in your own personal reality, thus making you more happy and effective. The Chart of Scales (or Universal Conscious Plot) is the "road-map" setting out what you can expect to see as your awareness expands. You don't need the Chart to do a UCP session, but it's very helpful once you've done a few sessions to track your progress. To use a metaphor, doing UCP is like being on a train - you don't need a map to get where you're going, but it's better to know what you'll be going through on the way. That way, you won't be surprised when you go through unpleasant places and be tempted to jump off the train!
 
The Chart is built from several different scales which the developer of UCP, Konchok Penday aligned before he developed UCP. Each scale describes a different facet of one's personal existence, and how much one is in control of it. Penday's innovation was to align them so that, if you're at one level on one scale, you'll probably be at that level on all the others; having something like eight or nine indicators makes it much easier to figure out "where you are" (your chronic level). Penday designed UCP to consistently raise one's chronic level of awareness, and thus one's position ("tone level") on all the other scales.
 
What do all those columns mean?
From left to right, the scales on the Chart are:
the "Know-Mystery" scale : arranges all the different ways you can relate to what's going on in your universe, in order from least to most understanding; from Unknowable to Know.
the Emotional Tone scale: measures your emotional "togetherness", from a feeling of Total Failure up to Serenity.
the Awareness scale : measures your awareness of how your actions relate to what's going on around you, from Unexistence up to Source (that is, you being the conscious source of all your own thoughts and reactions).
the Havingness scale : measures how much you feel able to have things, from Created up to Creating.
the Ethics scale: measures where you are in respect to your goals and purposes, from not even knowing what they are up to Power (all goals and purposes achieved).
Those are the ones I personally find really important; the others describe where you might be in respect to targets and administration (that is, what you're doing about your goals and purposes). On the far right, there's a description of what the Seeker looks like in session at the different levels, and the Four Conditions of Existence . You can learn more about these Quadrants (the four main areas where a person can be) in TechTalk 42 .
 
What is "chronic tone level"?
Penday describes it as "the level that you never go BELOW. You might still FEEL all the emotions above there, but you CAN'T CREATE THEM AT WILL. You are the EFFECT of them, rather than CAUSE over them." That is, any emotional, awareness or competence above your chronic level is something that's not under your conscious control. However, it still happens - for example, if your chronic tone is as low as -30 (Unknowable/Disconnection) you'll still be angry, or interested, or cheerful sometimes, but you can't make those emotional states appear and disappear. You can do that with whatever's below your chronic level. For example, if you are at -10 (Wait/Fixidity) then you can go Unconscious (-20) at will, I think.
You might be at a different emotional tone from day to day, and even in different areas of your life. For example, I'm pretty sure everyone reading this is close to +40 in the area of walking upright! ;-) Your "chronic" (lowest possible) level will be shown by what comes up THE MOST when you're doing a UCP session; that is, where your most pressing problems are. Doing UCP frees up your attention so you can be in control of more and more parts of your internal universe - that is, you move up the chart. Even though I don't know anyone who's even near +40 as chronic tone; we can be perfect in tiny areas and so we know how our awareness, emotions etc. change as we get there. UCP is about applying that process to one's life in general.
You can tell you're "at" a certain level on the chart when the problems you're dealing with in your life fall overwhelmingly into that particular bracket; i.e. what you spend most of your sessions talking about looks like a given level on the Chart. For example, at the moment I estimate myself at 0.8. This is Propitiation on the emotional scale, and Disaster on the awareness scale. I figure I'm there because I'm mostly dealing with my tendency to panic whenever any tiny thing goes wrong - that is, to see everything as a Disaster - and my compulsive desire to please people so they won't hurt me (i.e. Propitiation).
To give another example, you could tell you were at -8.0, if most of the things in your life were a Mystery to you, and if you found yourself spending your time Hiding from Enemies. This is associated with Glee - in this context, the kind of warped happiness you get from hiding from or fooling people. On the havingness scale, it's "Had" - that is, your attention is fixed on what you used to have but don't any more.
 
In summary, the Chart is a collection of scales which measure what you're AWARE and thus IN CONTROL of at any given time, in the various areas of your life. Consistently doing UCP will, we believe, increase your awareness of your life, thus increasing the amount of your own personal universe you're in control of, and thus moving your chronic tone level UP THE CHART.
