IMPORTANT NOTE
One of the biggest barriers to learning a new subject is its
nomenclature, meaning the set of terms used to describe the things it deals
with. A subject must have accurate labels which have exact meanings before
it can be understood and communicated.
If I were to describe parts of the body as "thingamabobs" and
"whatsernames," we would all be in a confusion, so the accurate naming of
something is a very important part of any field.
A student comes along and starts to study something and has a terrible
time of it. Why? Because he or she not only has a lot of new principles and
methods to learn, but a whole new language as well. Unless the student
understands this, unless he or she realizes that one has to "know the words
before one can sing the tune," he or she is not going to get very far in
any field of study or endeavor.
Now I am going to give you an important datum:
The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused or unable
to learn is because he or she has gone past a word that was not understood.
The confusion or inability to grasp or learn comes AFTER a word that the
person did not have defined and understood.
Have you ever had the experience of coming to the end of a page and
realizing you didn't know what you had read? Well, somewhere earlier on
that page you went past a word that you had no definition for.
Here's an example: "It was found that when the crepuscule arrived the
children were quieter and when it was not present, they were much
livelier." You see what happens. You think you don't understand the whole
idea, but the inability to understand came entirely from the one word you
could not define, crepuscule, which means twilight or darkness.
This datum about not going past an undefined word is the most important
fact in the whole subject of study. Every subject you have taken up and
abandoned had its words which you failed to get defined.
Therefore, in studying Scientology be very, very certain you never go
past a word you do not fully understand. If the material becomes confusing
or you can't seem to grasp it, there will be a word just earlier that you
have not understood. Don't go any further, but go back to BEFORE you got
into trouble, find the misunderstood word and get it defined.
That is why we have our technical and administrative dictionaries. It
will not only be the new and unusual words that you will have to look up.
Some commonly used words can often be misdefined and so cause confusion. So
don't depend on our dictionaries alone. Use a general English language
dictionary as well for any nonScientology word you do not understand when
you are reading or studying.
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.
