I think Filbert was the first scientologist to double the number of dynamics up to 16 dynamics way beyond the eighth dynamic of infinity. These so called upper dynamics are simply variations or parts of the seventh or spiritual dynamic. As LRH said anything spiritual with or without identity would come under the heading of the seventh dynamic. The highest dynamic in Scientology is a boundary called infinity which nothing can surpass. Higher dynamics are mentioned en passant and jocularly as in the ninth dynamic: the buck; these were never part of the Scientology system of dynamics.

Thus what Filbert calls dynamics 9 -16 – aestetics, ethics, decency, truth, awareness, individuality, coexistence and theta that is not being – all belong to the seventh dynamic.

His idea was that the upper dynamics rule and produce the junior dynamics. ‘Theta that is not being’ as the highest dynamic would imply that the universe has arisen out of non-existence, now renamed theta, which is impossible.
