Mest

MEST is an acronym coined by L. Ron Hubbard to define the physical universe. Drawn from the words Matter, Energy, Space and Time, it is frequently used in Scientology texts as an adjective to describe anything physical, so you may read of the "mest body" or "mest universe".

It is only through completely understanding MEST and one's relationship with it, that an individual can become "clear", according to Scientologists. Overcoming the restrictions of mest enables the true person, the "thetan" to gain strength and ability.

"The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta." http://www.fza.org/pilot/diary/

"Absolute good and absolute evil do not exist in the mest universe."

The group made their start playing in local Chicago punk clubs and made their own self-released debut album, Mo' Money, Mo' 40'z which they recorded in March of 1998 at "Starr Traxx Studios" in Crestwood, Illinois. Their first big break came when the band "Goldfinger" agreed to let Mest open for them, which led to a record deal with Maverick, and the production of their major label debut, Wasting Time, which was released in July 2000. A year later, Mest released their second album entitled Destination Unknown. Their song "I Melt with You" was also released on the soundtrack to the movie "Not Another Teen Movie".
