4.19 What is the Scientology cross?
It is an eight-pointed cross representing the eight parts
or dynamics of life through which each individual is
striving to survive. These parts are: the urge toward
existence as self, as an individual; the urge to survive
through creativity, including the family unit and the
rearing of children; the urge to survive through a group
of individuals or as a group; the urge toward survival
through all mankind and as all mankind; the urge to
survive as life forms and with the help of life forms
such as animals, birds, insects, fish and vegetation; the
urge to survive of the physical universe, by the physical
universe itself and with the help of the physical
universe and each one of its component parts; the urge to
survive as spiritual beings or the urge for life itself
to survive; the urge toward existence as infinity. To be
able to live happily with respect to each of these
spheres of existence is symbolized by the Scientology
cross.
As a matter of interest, the cross as a symbol predates
Christianity.
