The Black Enchantment, by L. Ron Hubbard
Excerpt from the Basics Books & Lectures

he physical universe would be the universe of matter, energy, space and time. It would be the universe of the planets, their rocks, rivers and oceans, the universe of stars and galaxies, the universe of burning suns and time. In this universe we would not include theta as an integral portion, although theta obviously impinges upon it as life. From the first letters of the words Matter, Energy, Space and Time, we can composite a new word: MEST.

In Dianetics we are dealing, then, with theta and MEST. Theta is thought, life force, élan vital, the spirit, the soul or any other of the numerous definitions it has had for some thousands of years.

As soon as we separate these two entities, a host of problems heretofore quite complex resolve into simplicity. Theta, we could say, comes from the universe of theta, which is different from the MEST universe. Theta has its own matter: ideas. It has its own energy and the characteristics of that energy. It has its own space of operation as distinct from MEST space. And it has its own time.

There is an enormous amount of evidence to support theta as a postulate. Thought is instantaneous in the MEST universe so far as can be discovered. The flow of energy along nerves in an organism does not travel at light speed. Time and past of the MEST universe do not exist for theta.

Considering theta, one finds that it alone of observable energies, motivates and activates MEST matter and energy through space and time. Further, it computes, reasons, learns and retains what it learns. Men building a computer with electronics, which would do only a part of what the human mind can do, would have to use enough electrical power to light New York City, enough cooling system to absorb Niagara Falls and enough vacuum tubes (if they cost a cent apiece) to run up a bill of a million dollars. And the apparatus so rigged, under the existing life term of tubes, would run a split second before stopping for tube replacement. The human mind does more than such a clumsy machine, does it better, lasts a lifetime and, to cap it, is portable.

Now all a student of Dianetics needs to know and understand about all this is:

That theta plus MEST equals life.

That theta and MEST have a natural affinity for each other and combine, linking the two universes, so to speak.

That theta and MEST, coming together too hard, get into a turmoil which we call pain.

That the turbulence of theta and MEST, under the duress of too much impact, gives us a Tone Scale.

The person undertaking to process another individual Dianetically is seeking only to raise the tone of that individual — in other words, to increase his survival potential. In order to do this, the processor simply regains for the other the theta involved in the reactive mind as entheta. Theta is restored to the analytical mind, the reactive mind is left without its destructive store of turbulence and the individual being processed becomes a Dianetic Release or Clear.

Basics Success

“On this course, I gained cause over my own tone level. I realized I was completely responsible for it—and found out how to raise it. I also found out my own tone level—which was actually higher than I had thought it was. Also, this may not seem like much, but since 1971 I never fully got what 'Straightwire' meant. Now I know the word!”



“This is the first time I have fully duplicated this book to the point of knowingness. I have the data down so well that I can virtually plot anyone on the Chart of Human Evaluation within minutes after meeting them. By understanding the Theta-MEST Theory I can actually think with what theta, MEST, the Tone Scale, survival, succumb, life and death have to do with each other. Never mind the absolutely vital necessity this has in life—I can now accurately locate my preclears on the Chart and precisely program for the exact action that will free the maximum amount of theta and move them up The Bridge. The Science of Survival Lectures were the perfect top-off. LRH gave real-life examples of the application of the Theta-MEST Theory and Chart of Human Evaluation. That really hammered it home so I could grasp how it is manifested in life and in session. It also answered a few questions I'd had in applying the Chart. I really want to thank the supervisors for the excellent service they provide, RTC for this discovery of lost tech and especially to LRH for mapping out and laying down the true science of survival.”

NEW RELEASE || Basics Books and Lectures

THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENTOLOGY...

These books and lectures contain the discoveries and codifications LRH made during the pivotal early years when the foundations of the subject were laid down. Yet, until now, they have never been available.

The lectures comprise the running record of LRH’s research into the mind, spirit and life, while the books are the summary conclusions of his monumental discoveries. Here are not only the basics such as ARC, the Tone Scale and The Factors, here too are the principal incidents on the whole track, the electronics of human thought, the potentials of theta, exterior OT abilities and much more.


This is the path to knowing how to know, unlocking the gates to your future eternity. Follow it.
