The Composition of the Physical Universe

If life-or theta, as it is called in Scientology-is a mirror and creator of motion which can be mirrored, it follows then that mirror-wise, the whole of the laws of motion, magnetism, energy, matter, space and time can be found in thought, and behavior and even thinking partake of the physical universe laws regarding matter, energy, space and time.

The physical universe consists of four parts:

Matter

Energy

Space 

Time

MEST stands for matter, energy, space and time, and is composite of the first letter of each. The word MEST appearing all by itself denotes the physical universe.

The origin of MEST lies with theta^ itself, and MEST, as we know the physical universe, is a product of theta.

SPACE

The workable definition of space is “viewpoint of dimension”: there is no space without viewpoint, there is no space without points of view.

Space is not nothingness. Space is the viewpoint of dimension. It is how far one looks. If one did not look, one would not have any space. Space is caused by looking out from a point. The only actuality of space is the agreed-upon consideration that one perceives through something, and this we call space.

A dimension point is any point in a space or at the boundaries of space.

a dimension point can be of different kinds and substances. It can combine in various ways, it can take on forms, become objects.

The purpose of a deminsion point is space and a point of view.

As a specialized case, those dimension points which mark the outermost boundaries of space or its corners are called, in Scientology, “anchor points,” and these, with the viewpoint, alone are responsible for space. An anchor point is a dimension point that stays rather still, to keep the space created.

In order to have space, it is necessary to have a viewpoint and the potention in the viewpoint of creating anchor points. Viewpoints are not visible, but viewpoints can have dimension points which are themselves visible. Space is creatable by a thetan^ and he may also conserve alter and destroy space.

A material of the universe cannot exist in any universe without something which to exist. The something in which it exists is space, and this is made by the attitude of a viewpoint which marks an area with anchor points.

The creation of anchor points, then is the creation of space, which is, in itself, the creation of beingness^. The essential in any object is the space which it occupies. Thus, the ability to be an object first depends upon the ability to be the space which it occupies.

-L. Ron Hubbard

In other words, a person can only be as free and as big as his anchor points are! The bigger the space around you, the better you feel because the better and bigger you can have beingness, the more space you are able to “be” in.

It is the reason why gorgeous views of the ocean, the sky and vast landscapes make you feel so good! By looking you are assigining an anchor point which results in your space to grow!

It is the reason people are afraid in the dark, They cant see things and cant see space to create anchor points, so they are small, and the smaller you’re space, the worse you feel.

It is the reason being on the computer or watching tv all day makes you feel all worn out and headachy. You’re space is only maybe about a foot in front of you, and that doesnt feel too good at all.

It is the reason people say then need to “get some fresh air” after being inside a room for a while. What they are really saying it “I need to go create some space. I need more elbow room and a place to streach out. ahh thats better.”

Try it out! Go out and look at distant things! consciously decide to assign an anchor point. There is no trick to it, people do it unknowingly all the time. You just decide to place one in any given place and you’ve done it. See how much better you feel!

Go for a walk!

In practicing Scientology one addresses oneself—not your mind, not your body, but you. Scientologists have found that the spirit is potentially superior to material things, and that the spirit (you), if cleansed of past traumas, transgressions and aberrations, can make miraculous changes in the physical universe that would not otherwise be possible.

I have written them

In an orderly way.

I have written them

First in a tongue of science

Which was stolen

Long ago from the

East.

From this tongue

You can translate

Into your many

Tongues

For each of you

Scholars who can

Speak this tongue.

There is no other

Tongue spoken in

Common by your

Scholars.

These great lessons

Were composed

In the Western World.

This had to be so

BEcause of the

Disorders in the

East since

Vaishakha 2453

Even your own prohpesies

Centuries Old

Said I would appear

In the Western World.

I appeared.

You will forgive

And understand.

It is the West 

Which Threatens

Earth.

There I 

Have been to

Learn of it and

Study it and

Save us all.”

- Hymn of Asia, L. Ron Hubbard.

Let me come away

From the barbarians

To live in your hearts

I walked amongst

You as a mortal boy.

I sat at your feet

And you did not know.

Except some

Few amongst you

And these kept

the Secret well.

I am ready now.

I am ready to come home

To my people.

Please accept me so.

Forgive the body that I bear

I need it now 

To speak.

Forgive the tongue 

With which I 

Speak. I would

Rather it were Pali

But you comprehend it not.

And if I come

Be sure that

While I myself,

In contact with

Mortal flesh,

Can err,

These Lessons

Do not.

If you reject me

And bid me not

Then do not fear.

For I, berefit

From you,

Will only weep.

Such is my love.”

And we can demonstrate in Scientology that the only universal solvent there is is communication. That’s really a universal solvent. That does the darnedest things. Its the most remarkable thing there is. You handle communication while your processing somebody and its utterly fantastic. Its an actual scientific miracle which occurs when you apply, correctly, communication processing to an individual. What communication can do for a person is demonstrated in fact that when not enough communication is done, it can make a person sick, it can make him sick. Now, that’s an oddity, isn’t it.

Lets take an individual who has theoretically no communication and hes sort of lying there like a rock, you know? He has no communication at all and all a sudden somebody says three words to him, see, like “You darned fool.”

And he says, “Boy, look at this. look at what I got here. I have some sense and meaning from an exterior source. And man, this is precious. I’m not going to go dedicate my life to being a darned fool.” [laughter]

Now that’s actually the operation of the image pictures which a person has. The communication is so scarce that he picks it up and hugs it to his psychic bosom forevermore. [laughter] And he wont let go of it until you or an auditor comes along and says, “how are you, Joe? How are you Joe, Joe? Well that’s fine, I’m glad your feeling good, Fine. How are you, Joe? Hoe are you, Joe? How are you, Joe? Well, hello, Joe. Okay, Joe. How are you, Joe?”

And the fellow will say,”You know I don’t feel like being a darned fool now. I’m Joe.” [laughter]

All right. Here we have something so powerful that just a few drops of it- completely different than medicine. Medicine, if you use a quart, will probably kill somebody, but if you use a teaspoonful, it’d probably help them. That’s strychnine, you know. You take a spoonful of strychnine and it actually will help somebody. Bad heart or something of the sort. Nitroglycerin, they get away with it. But if they take a quart, the don’t dare belch. [laughter]

Well its quite the reverse with communication. Quite the reverse. You give somebody a small measuring-spoonful of communication and he says “Hooooooo!” - no good. And generally, that’s about all there is available in society that’s starting to go out of communication with itself. You know? A very inadequate spoonful.

The last time you were driving down the road and another driver said, “Well. sure a swell day, isn’t it?” Last time you did this was quite a long time ago, isn’t it? huh? You were driving down the road and a driver in another car learned out, even with the stop sign, and he says to you, “Gee, isn’t it a nice day?” That’s such a small dose it would have restimulated you into believing he was crazy. [laughter] You would have gone driving on down the road thinking, “I wonder what was wrong with him.”

L. Ron Hubbard, from the lecture The Eight Dynamics.

A MESSAGE TO ARTISTS

Every great society has its creative minds—its true artists. From Ancient Greece and Rome, through the Renaissance to the world today, Mankind has revered men and women of exceptional artistic ability.

As renowned American writer Henry James once said, “It is art that makes life.” His words are no less true today, for indeed, artists are the individuals who dream our future and create the realities of tomorrow. True, so do engineers and businesspersons and visionaries in other fields, but by and large the futures they create revolve around our material well-being. It is the artist who lifts the spirit, makes us laugh and cry and can even shape the spiritual future of our culture. It is artists who make life.

This explains, then, why artists remain the most cherished of human assets the world over.

Unfortunately, in many cases, they are assets we have lost too soon—losses that have left us poorer. In recent decades we have all mourned the untimely deaths of great artists who enriched our lives, yet left before their work was done. Luminaries of literature, the screen, the theater and the concert stage, names such as Ernest Hemingway, France’s great writer Antonin Artaud, jazz singer Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Vivien Leigh, Kurt Cobain, Michael Hutchence, Phil Hartman and many, many more.

Faced with even this partial list, it would be easy to form the impression that the lives of artists are unavoidably tumultuous and that for some, the pressures of success bring demands too great to be borne. It would also be easy to believe that to be a successful artist you must be neurotic or some sort of tragic figure.

None of this is true.

In each of the cases above, hidden influences worked to ensure the deadly outcome. The truth is, each of these great artists and many of the others who have left us were offered “help.” Instead they were betrayed and placed on a path which assured their destruction.

This betrayal came through the direct or indirect influence of psychiatrists or psychologists, who claimed they would help but were, in effect, a destructive influence that left these artists dreadfully damaged—or dead—after their foundations of strength and certainty were torn away.

Today there is an added urgency that this message be heard and understood, for the assault upon artists of every genre has only increased in both volume and efficiency. The weapons now include an array of deadly drugs that masquerade as therapeutic cures, just as the prefrontal lobotomy once did. In Hollywood, the mecca of the entertainment industry, those mind-altering and addictive psychotropic drugs are exacting too high a cost in creative lives.

Quite apart from the devastation being spread within the ranks of artists themselves, we must not forget: Artists create the future of our culture.

Is this the future we face? One in which we will follow these leaders of public opinion into the brave new therapeutic world of stunted creative personalities, ruined families, wasted lives and self-destruction?

If this seems alarmist, then review the figures below—they show what the future holds unless some drastic changes are made quickly: Currently, more than 20 million children around the world are prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants that both United Kingdom and United States drug regulatory agencies have warned can cause suicide and violent behavior. Indeed, the increasing incidence of school shootings and violent crime among teens can be traced to the proliferation of these drugs being prescribed them. Millions are also prescribed stimulants that are more potent than cocaine.

Among these millions, consider how many potentially great artists will never fulfill their destiny? And how will our culture suffer from their absence?

We have mourned the great artists we have lost too soon. Let’s not grieve for more.

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International prepares up-to-the-minute information and studies that assist authors and scriptwriters with material and facts on the subject of psychiatry. This has included the book, Shadowland, the story of actress Frances Farmer; compelling evidence provided “60 Minutes” in Australia, which led to national television awards for the program, and case studies for documentaries aired on Channel 4 UK, in Germany, Italy and in other countries. In fact, CCHR’s international headquarters is in the heart of Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard and houses a state of the art permanent museum, Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, with 14 one-of-a-kind documentaries on various aspects of psychiatry—ranging from its dark history to its role in the Holocaust; from detestable ethnic cleansing and apartheid programs and racism to the harmful and often fatal effects of its treatments such as dangerous and addictive psychotropic drugs, electroshock, psychosurgery and stimulants used for child drugging.

The Museum and CCHR’s decades of research are resources for screenwriters, television scriptwriters, playwrights and novelists. We urge you to work with us to further disseminate this information; and protect those artists who need help, ensuring that our future is not betrayed.

Understanding is composed of affinity, reality and communication. And these three factors, combined one with another, are themselves life. The potentialities and characteristics of life are contained in these three things.

What do we mean by affinity? Actually, we mean the consideration of distance between communicating points. That is what we mean by affinity. Its an engineering definition, if you please, for “love.” All of the various emotions, efforts and so forth all lump under affinity.

Now we have over here reality. How real, how actual are these things? In other words, how much are we agreed upon these things?

And over here we have the C, which is communication: the ability to exchange ideas concerning actualities with affinities. We cant exchange ideas or communicaion in the absence of some agreement, in the absense of some liking or affinity. You see, we have to have liking or affinity of some kind. And we have to have agreement of some kind in order to have communication.

- L. Ron Hubbard
