The Dynamics
It appears that all life on this planet is struggling to survive, whether it is a human being, an animal, a plant or even bacteria or viruses.main principle of life is : SURVIVE
Since life is such a complicated thing, it helps to divide it into separate categories to better understand the relationships between them and how they affect us.
These we call Dynamics which are drives or impulses along a specific area in life.
There eight of these dynamics and they are as follows:
The First Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as a person. Here we have individuality expressed fully.
This is called the Self Dynamic.
The Second Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as a sexual or bisexual activity. This one has two parts. The second dynamic as (a) the sexual act itself and the second dynamic (b) as a family unit including the raising of children.
This is called the Sex Dynamic.
The Third Dynamic — is the urge toward existence in groups of individuals. Any group or part of an entire class could be a part of the third dynamic. The school, the society, the town, the nation are each a part of the third dynamic, and each one is a third dynamic itself.
This is called the Group Dynamic.
The Fourth Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as mankind. While the white race would be considered a third dynamic, all the races would be considered as the Fourth Dynamic.
This is called the Mankind Dynamic.
The Fifth Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as the animal kingdom. This includes all living things whether vegetable or animal. The fish in the sea, the beasts of the field or of the forest, grass, trees, flowers, or anything directly and intimately motivated by life.
This is called Animal Dynamic.
The Sixth Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as the physical universe. The physical universe is composed of matter, energy, space, and time. In Scientology, we take the first letter of each of these words and coin a word, MEST.
This is called the Universe Dynamic.
The Seventh Dynamic — is the urge toward existence as or of spirits. Anything spiritual, with or without identity, would come under the heading of the seventh dynamic.
This is called the Spiritual Dynamic.
The Eighth Dynamic — there are two parts to this one, and they are the urge toward existence as
(a) the Supreme Being and or (b) Infinity.
It is carefully observed here that what we are doing does not intrude into the dynamic of the Supreme Being and this is left solely to a person’s judgment and belief. It is observable that both concepts can be the same or different depending on what someone believes in or how they view them.
Part (a) refers to God and (b) refers to Infinity.
This is called the Infinity Dynamic.
Those are the eight areas of life that we experience on a day-to-day basis and can have trouble in. The five areas mentioned earlier in this chapter are the specific difficulties we can have with them, and anything else falls under a combination of these.
And in life, how do we perceive dynamics?
Most people are aware of the first dynamique. They are hungry they get food, they are sick they go to doctors to be cured. But some drink too much, take heavy drugs and they go against their own survival.
The second dynamic is very important for most of people! Sex, love, family, children. That’s what most of people want. But as you see, life is strange and lot of perversion entered into this dynamic. Pedophilia, sadism, etc… and it is also in this dynamic that we find lot of murders… but also lot of problems, cheating the partner, divorce, etc…
The 3rd Dynamic, is quite important for people, because when we work we are part of a company which is our 3rd dynamic. But your nation too. Or your bridge club, your football club, etc…
The 4th dynamic is the one which is less real for lot of people. We hear so many wars over the world and almost nobody is crying for the deads.
The 5th dynamic is known enough. We generally love animals, lot of people grows plants in their home. Our own body is part of this 5th dynamic.
The 6th dynamic is known of course! This is the dynamic of MEST. Have you ever though that your body is made also of molecules and atomes, like everything on this planet? And you know what? People are now obsessed with getting as much of MEST as they can, they became materialistic…
The 7th dynamic, religious people who look for a spiritual elevation are making efforts on it. People practicing meditation too! Lot of coaches in personal development too.
The 8th dynamic we don’t touch it. But working on yourself will allow you to better understand your relationship with this dynamic. We also say the 8th Dynamic os GOD if you already have a religion, or we say also it is the Infinite.
What is correct is to have all your dynamiques balanced.
But we see too often an unbalance. Look to these ecologists, who makes the 5th dynamique more important than any other dynamic.
