Example: (Line in text) "The size was Gargantuan." The student looks up
Gargantuan, finds "Like Gargantua, huge." The student uses "huge" as a
synonym and
reads the text line, "The size was 'huge'." A short while later he or she
is found still
incapable of understanding the paragraph below "Gargantua" in the text.
The principle is that one goes dull after passing over a word one does
not
understand and brightens up the moment he spots the word that wasn't
grasped. In
actual fact, the brightening up occurs whether one defines the word or not.
But to put another word in the place of the existing words is to mess it
all up.
The correct procedure is to look over, get defined well and understand
the word
that was used.
In this case the word was "Gargantuan". Very well, what's that? It means
"Like
Gargantua" according to the dictionary.
Who or what was Gargantua? The dictionary says it was the name of a
gigantic
King in a book written by the author Rabelais. Cheers, the student thinks,
the sentence
meant, "The size Was a gigantic King." Oops! That's the same mistake again,
like
"huge". But we're nearer.
So what to do? Use Gargantuan in a few sentences you make up and bingo!
You
suddenly understand the word that was used.
Now you read it right. "The size was Gargantuan." And what does that
mean? It
means, "The size was Gargantuan." And nothing else.
SUMMARY
Scientology words and their definitions are the gateway to a new look
and
understanding of life. Understanding them will help you live better, and
will assist you
along the road of truth that is Scientology.
