From the Book Jacket: It's seemingly everywhere, enforcing its command on every being, awaiting with pain any disobedience to its laws and commands-enforcing a constant struggle to survive for one and all: The MEST universe. Yet, it's not even there, it's only an agreed-upon "reality", it's only an illusion. Welcome to actuality. For if Dianetics is the owner's manual to the human mind, then Scientology 8-8008 is the owner's manual of you. Contained herein is the anatomy, character and unlimited potentials of a thetan: an overview of all previous books and their discoveries-all of them from the new vantage of 8-8008; the anatomy of space, energy and time-and how they have everything to do with the ability of be, do and have; the Table of Related Experiences-charting every type of cycle-of-action in the physical universe and in experience; perception-its relationship to energy and its rehabilitation through handling blackness; the Chart of Attitudes-every column, its relationship to a being and the route upward through postulates alone; the Factors-summation of the considerations and examinations of the human spirit and material universe; Viewpoints, Dimension Points, Anchor Points-their very fundamental role in existence itself, for without them there would be none; universes-definition, description and anatomy of all three; and the means to disagree with the MEST universe and break its illusion-Creative, Postulate, Rising Scale, Give and Take and Certainty Processing. Here, then, is Ron's epic journey-ransacking facsimiles on the whole track to expose the illusory "truth" of the MEST universe and the means to reduce its power to zero and increase one's own universe to infinity.… (altro)

Though this book is not for those new to Scientology nor for those exposed to the subject for the first time, it nevertheless has philosophy and interesting practical developments useful to the man on the street, regardless of ones’ feelings toward the subject.

I do grow tired of the internet Trolls and their poorly researched opinions regarding this and other Hubbard books and I won’t relay their tired arguments here: why give them publicity? But I will say that there are various aspects of the human condition that it would be wise to read about, whether a student of this subject or not.

Hubbard’s exploration into the human condition was explored in a series of 52 lectures in 1952 and the response from his students was such that he wrote a book on the subject. Scientology 8-8008 gets its name from the theory that the infinity (8, turned on its side makes the symbol for infinity) of the universe could be reduced to zero and the zero of one’s own universe (sphere of influence, etc.) could be increased to infinity.

This is an interesting concept. How often have we felt that we could do nothing, after all we are just one person, what could we do about the world? Let’s start with who and what we are. The Beingness of Man chapter lays it out quite well. What I got out of that was the division of a life into 8 areas (Dianetics covered four of these in the original 1950 edition) and what the anatomy of these areas are. One’s self, one’s family, one’s groups and the main group of the species of Man is gone over, as well as others.

There are many theories regarding our relationship with the physical universe and how we can be causative in it, and why this is very important for our personal development.

The Code of Honor for me was the most enticing: Be your own counsel and select your own decisions; Never worry about yesterday since life is in you today and you have tomorrow. How often do we get stuck in the past without any thought of future consequences?

Bottom Line: Sorry for rambling, boys and girls, just that I’m trying to make succinct over 290 pages of some pretty heady material. Suggest reading the earlier books first for a better grasp of this one.
