                          Introduction

  By Scientology study technology, understanding ceases on going
past a misunderstood word or concept.

  If a person reading a text comes to the word "Felix Domesticus"
and doesn't know it simply means HOUSE CAT, the words which
appear thereafter may become "meaningless," "uninteresting" and he
may even become slightly unconscious, his awareness shutting down.

  Example: "Wind the clock and put out the Felix Domesticus and
then call Algernon and tell him to wake you at 10:00 am," read as an
order by a person who didn't bother to find out that "Felix Domesticus"
means "house eat" or "the variety of eat which has been domesticated"
will not register that he is supposed to call Algernon, will feel
dopey or annoyed and probably won't remember he's supposed to
wake up at 10:00 am.

  In other words, when the person hit a misunderstood word, he
ceased to understand and did not fully grasp or become aware of what
followed after.

  All this applies to a sentence, a book, a post or a whole
organization.

  A crashing misunderstood will block off further ability to study
or apply data. It will also block further understanding of an
organization, its organizing board, an individual post or duties and
such misunderstoods can effectively prevent knowledge of or action
on a post.

  ALL THIS IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF AN UNACCEPTABLE POST
PRODUCT, OR NO PRODUCT AT ALL.

  The difficulties of an organization in functioning or producing
stem from this fact.

  The by no means complete list of words that have to be fully
cleared and understood just to talk about organization as a subject,
and to intelligently and happily work in an organization EVEN AS
ITS LOWEST EMPLOYEE are:

A Company
A Board of Directors
Top Management
Policy
Management
Programmes
Targets
Orders


                               ix


Technology
Know-How
Organizing Board
Post
Hat
Cope
Purposes
Organize
Duties
A Checksheet
A Checklist
A Communication Channel
A Command Channel
A Relay Point
A Stable Terminal
Double Hatted
A Product
Aberration
VIABILITY

  This is key vocabulary. Out of a full understanding of what is
implied by each, a brilliantly clean view is attained of the whole
subject of organization, not as a fumble but as a crisp usable activity.

  Unless one at least knows the basic words completely so that
they can be used and applied they will not buffer off confusions
that enter into the activity.

  There is a lot to organization. It requires trained administrators
who can forward the programs. But a "trained" administrator who
does not grasp the principles of organization itself is only a clerk.

  At this current writing Man has not had administrative training
centers where actual organization was taught. It was learned by
"experience" or by working in an organization that was already
functioning. But as the principles were not the same company to
company and nation to nation, the differences of background
experiences of any set of administrators differed to such a degree
that no new corps could be assembled as a team.

  Thus it was said to require a quarter to a half a century to make
a company. But the number of ineffective bureaucracies and national
failures which existed stated clearly that there were too few skilled
administrators and too few training activities.

  Man's happiness and the longevity of companies and states
apparently depend upon organizational know-how. Hiring specialized
experts to get one out of trouble is a poor substitute for knowing what
it is all about in the first place.

  Organization is actually a simple subject, based on a few basic
patterns which if applied produce success.

  If one would dream and see his dreams an actuality, one must
also be able to organize and to train organizational men who will
make those dreams come true.

A Guide to the Dictionary

  This dictionary is uniquely comprehensive in that as well as
containing the bulk of the words and abbreviations needed to study
the powerful and fantastically successful management and adminitrative
technology of Scientology, as developed by L. Ron Hubbard, it
also contains a large number of conventional business management
and administration terms.

  Thus whether one is studying the management and administrative
technology developed for the Church of Scientology or any other
business management or administrative technology this book is a
must.

  The Scientology definitions are mainly extracts taken from the
works of L. Ron Hubbard. Some are extracts taken from the works of
L. Ron Hubbard's Aides and top executives in Scientology. The entry
words for all Scientology definitions are in bold face type. In compiling
these definitions the editorial staff have chosen to omit the
conventional use of the ellipsis (...) which would indicate an
intentional omission of words in the definition. This is so that
each definition imparts a complete uninterrupted thought to the
reader and allows him to form a concept of the word without
distraction or the inclusion of data not contributory to the definition.

  At the beginning of several definitions a word or phrase sometimes
appears in parentheses such as (Flag) (Post), (Flag Ship Org), or
(FOLO). These serve to designate specific areas of Scientology
organizations, posts, organizing boards and subjects that the term or
definition originates from or applies to only.

  The purpose of the Scientology definitions is solely to aid a person
in the study of Scientology management and administrative technology.
Some of these definitions are taken from early Scientology
policy letters and issues which have since been cancelled. These are
included because the words defined are mentioned in later policy
letters and issues that are in current use. Thus the purpose of these
definitions is not to set Scientology policy but to aid in the study
of Scientology management and administrative technology.

  The conventional business management and administration definitions
were researched and formulated by the editorial staff after
extensive study in these subjects. A great deal of effort was made to

                               xi


ensure these are as clear and straightforward as possible to aid
any person engaged in the study of business administration and
management. The entry words for these are in light face type which
differentiates these from the Scientology terms and definitions.

  A section of organizing boards is included at the end of the
dictionary to show the structure of various Scientology organizations
as they evolved from 1961 to 1976. Any business organization in the
world could be set up to run more successfully from the standard
Scientology Seven Division Organizing Board released by L. Ron
Hubbard.

  A complete list of the references used for the Scientology
definitions appears in the reference summary at the back of the
dictionary.

  Scientology is the fastest growing religion on the planet by
actual surveys and statements by sociologists. The management and
administrative technology of Scientology developed by L. Ron Hubbard
is the source of this expansion.

  Whether you are studying this or any conventional business
management and administration technology this dictionary is the
guide to modern business and management technology.
