The discussion of Truth must start with breaking up the whole into some sort of constituent parts so that they might be studied better. In this case, the whole is “Life.” Or, “you” (same thing). This step is accomplished in Scientology 1.0.0, in part, by means of the Eight Dynamics.

They are:

Dynamic 1 – The Self (you as the individual). This would be the “you” you might describe as “George,” “Hannah,” etc.

Dynamic 2 – The family (and the sex act). This is the special genetic-specific pool out of which all the “yous” emerge, “Smith, Jones”, etc.

Dynamic 3 – The group (and/or society). This is the larger group of people that make it possible for families to endure. This is cooperation with non-family others.

Dynamic 4 – Man as Species. This one is a tiny sub-section of the next one, living organisms, but it is the one capable of reason. The species that is conscious of being conscious.

Dynamic 5 – Organic Life. All living things, those things as distinguished from inorganic matter.

Dynamic 6 – Inorganic matter, energy, space, and time. This is all the stuff out of which organic life is made (much speculation here).

Dynamic 7 – Life (or spirit, or soul, it’s up to you, but you could also call this the probability dynamic, maybe). It covers “no wavelength thought,” such as aesthetics and meaning.

Dynamic 8 – Infinity or God. Again, it’s up to you, but you could also call this the possibility dynamic, maybe. Or “the ground of all being”. It covers whatever there ever is before there is ever anything, and underlies literally anything that is or could ever be. It is not “forever” or anything like that (neti neti). It is The Intelligence before First Consciousness, and any viewpoint.
