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 zombie to Tern 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 a dictionary. It will not only be the new
and unusual words that you will have to look up. Some commonly
used words can be misdefined and so cause confusion. So don't
depend on our dictionary alone. Use a general English language
dictionary as well for any non-Scientology word you do not
understand when you are reading or studying.

  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.
