THE COMPONENTS OF UNDERSTANDING
Throughout our life, we strive to understand people and things better so as to get along better with others, to be able to better operate a machine or to simply know what is going on in the world.
But despite our best intentions, we sometimes encounter upsets, differing opinions and misunderstandings.
If there was some way to increase our understanding of people and problems, that would be a very valuable thing to know.
In Scientology, it was discovered that all human relationships—and in fact, any activity in life—can be improved once you know what understanding itself really is.
L. Ron Hubbard has isolated the actual components of understanding. By knowing these components and how they relate to each other and how they add up to understanding, you can do something about any problem, large or small.
This is fundamental knowledge, common to all aspects of living, from relationships with other people, to running companies, being members of groups, learning and education, government, industry—all of it.
This course gives you an introduction to these simple but powerful fundamentals so that you can start to bring greater understanding to any area of your life or the lives of others.
In doing this course, be very certain you never go past a word you do not fully understand. The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused or unable to learn is because he has gone past a word he did not understand.

Important Note
In doing this course, be very certain you never go past a word you do not fully understand. The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused or unable to learn is because he has gone past a word he did not understand.
The confusion or inability to understand or learn comes AFTER a word you did not know the meaning of. It might not only be the new and unusual words that you did not understand.
One of the most important facts in the whole subject of study is that you must never go past a word that you do not understand.
In every subject that you took up and then left incomplete, you will find that there were words that you read but you did not know what they meant.
So while doing this course be very, very certain you never go past a word you do not fully understand.
If what you are studying becomes confusing or you can’t seem to understand 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 and find the word you did not fully understand. Wherever you see a word that is underlined, you can click on it and it will immediately give you the meaning of that word.
As you go through the course, you can also click on the menu at the top of each course page where it says “Glossary” (which is a list of words and what they mean) and it will take you to a list of words used in the course and give you the meaning of each.
If you cannot find the word you are looking for listed in the glossary, get a simple dictionary and look up its meaning there.
