Scientology versus The Internet

In the Scientology religion, MEST is an acronym for "Matter, Energy, Space and Time", considered by Scientologists to be the four component parts of the physical universe. This term is frequently used in writings and lectures by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and also is commonly used in exchanges between Scientologists. Scientologists believe that, through the application of Scientology auditing techniques, it is possible to eventually attain "cause over MEST" - the ability to influence the physical universe by thought alone - at the upper Operating Thetan levels of the subject.
