Full Conceptual Understanding | LRH vs COB
LRH — Founder of Dianetics and Scientology
LRH makes it very clear what it takes to achieve full conceptual understanding:
“Operating within a society steeped in misunderstood words and misdefinitions, study tech is subject to arbitraries. Thus, a CLEARED WORD is defined as follows:
“A WORD WHICH HAS BEEN CLEARED TO THE POINT OF FULL CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING….
“There are many ways and combinations to achieve this EP. Using the word in sentences until the meaning is grasped conceptually is the most common. Diagrams, demos, clay, in fact the entire body of study tech and its methods are applicable.
“These are vital tools. For use. Protect them and KEEP SCIENTOLOGY WORKING.”

“The book plus the lectures equals total conceptual understanding.”
On the release of the Basics at the Maiden Voyage Anniversary Event, June, 2007; repeated in virtually every promo piece ever since.
At the same event, COB told us, “You don’t even need a dictionary.”
As covered by LRH, full conceptual understanding is achieved through the application of standard study tech, especially word-clearing.
COB’s formula for full conceptual understanding was made up.
