Man the Animal & Man the God (A Scientology Three Lecture)

In a new look at the Eight Dynamics, Mr. Hubbard delivers a classic delineation of the relationship between the dynamics and the Tone Scale. It begins with a first characterization of the dynamics as "a gradient scale of the universe." As a being descends the Tone Scale from Man the god to Man the animal, each phase of his decline parallels a consecutive individuation from the Eighth down to and even below the First Dynamic. Out of these mechanics come all unconscious actions, responses, valences and even the existence of a Reactive Mind. In the end, the being is trapped. And whereas the trap is of his own making, it is no less his own undoing-for short of auditing, it is permanent. A first in its description of what Mr. Hubbard calls the "theory of individuation," this lecture gives a wholly fresh insight into what has been achieved every time a Clear is made.
