By the time he died in 1986, he had devised a thicket of language or nomenclature by means of which one and all are indoctrinated in Scientology religious lore.
[5] Hubbard explained the purpose of creating new terms in the foreword to the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary: Philosophy has always had the liability of gathering to itself a great many new words and labels.
The reason for this is that the philosopher finds phenomena in the physical universe or in the mind or humanities which have not hitherto been observed or properly identified.
The system which has been followed in Dianetics and Scientology in labeling phenomena or observed things was originally to make verbs into nouns or vice versa.
[9] Nomenclature begins in Dianetics where Hubbard uses basic English and some adjectives as nouns to obviate the necessity of having to explain the old to understand the new.
When developing the nomenclature of Scientology, Hubbard tended to use the same words used by the general public e. g. "affinity", "reality".
The British philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell asserts, "...provided our use of words is consistent it matters little how we define them."
It is difficult not to slip back to the original meaning, and thus to perplex oneself and others with apparent paradoxes, and even to fall into obvious falsities.
