THETA UNIVERSE

Thought matter, thought energy, thought space and thought time, combining into a universe of their own alongside the physical one. It is offered as a proposal for which there is a great deal of evidence, rather than as a certainty.

From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

Where the mest universe is the shared physical world, the theta universe is its counterpart made of thought. One of the purposes of theta is put forward as the conquering and ordering of mest.

Why It Matters

Having a name for the counterpart of the physical universe is what allows the two to be discussed separately. It comes from Science of Survival in 1951.
