(If a student has trouble with this Method he should do Method 7 first. Method One should also be done.)

Method 6 Word Clearing is called Key Word Clearing.

Method 8 is an action used in the “Primary Rundown” where one is studying Study Tech or where one is seeking a full grasp of a subject. Its End Product is Super-Literacy.

It is used on posts and specific subjects.

The steps are these:

It is a heavier form than Method 5.

Usually an alphabetical list of every word or term in the text of a paper, a chapter or a recorded tape is available or provided.

Method 6 is used without a meter.

1. The person looks up each word on the alphabetical list and uses each in sentences until he has the meaning conceptually.

Where a person is new on post or new to a subject or where there has just been a goof, an error or an Ethics action, these steps are done in the following manner.

The words are looked up in a big dictionary.

1. The Word Clearer makes a list of the key (or most important) words relating to the person’s duties or post or the new subject.

The grammatical words or small words are looked up in a simple grammar. If the person has too much trouble with grammar he should do the whole simple grammar text before going on.

This is made up as a list. The Word Clearer looks up each word in the dictionary and writes down the definitions.

Any technical terms not in the dictionary are looked up in a technical dictionary or glossary or in bulletins on the materials, i.e. a photographic dictionary.

The list may have as few as three words or as many as twenty or thirty.

This is not done for the whole subject, it is done for a paper or a chapter or one tape of a series.

(Example: A bank clerk’s key words would be “bank” “clerk” “money” “cash” “drafts” “teller” “accounts” “customer” etc.)

2. One then reads or listens to the paper, chapter or tape for its sense or general meaning.

(Example: There has just been a goof resulting in an upset. The goof centered around “radio” “repairs” “operation” “operator” “electronics” etc.)

3. Method 4 is then done on the person to find any misunderstoods.

2. The Word Clearer, without showing the person the definitions, asks him to define each word.

4. These are cleared up per Method 4 procedure.

3. The Word Clearer checks the definition on his list for general correctness not word for word but meaning.

5. The person reads or listens to the material again.

4. Any slow or hesitancy or misdefinition is met with having the person look the word up and look up any word in the definition the person does not have a grasp of.

6. The person is again checked for any misunderstoods.

5. One completes his list.

7. If there are any misunderstoods the person again does steps 4 & 5.

6. By then the person has been jarred into looking further by the above actions. The Word Clearer asks “What other word relating to your post (or subject or error) didn’t you understand?”

8. When the material is fully heard or understood as per above steps and checks, end off on that paper, chapter, tape and go on to the next one.

7. Each one mentioned is now defined by looking it up.

9. An alphabetical list is made or exists for the next paper, chapter or tape. Steps 1 to 8 are done on it.

8. The person can now be Method 4ed relating to his post to be sure all is clean and there are no upsets.

10. Each succeeding paper or chapter or tape is done with steps I to 8.

Note: Where the person has just had an accident or ethics action it may be necessary to delay the action until the person is calmer or not so upset as the action can be a heavy distraction if the person is hurt or frightened and will not be successful.

When all the material has been done in this way, the person will be fully able to apply all the material.

It will be found that laziness, inactivity, slowness and errors on a post or in using a subject trace to misunderstood key words.

Usually Method 8 is reserved for the Scientology Study Tapes which contain how to study and the Student Hat.

The remedy is WC Method 6.

It can also be used to master a major subject.

It will be found that method 8 (or method 2 or 3 or 4 or 6) are very lengthy and hard to do unless one has first had a Method One Word Clearing.

A Word Clearing Correction List is used on Method 8 whenever a student bogs heavily. This list will, when assessed on a meter properly, locate the errors and they can be corrected.

When used on the Study Tech itself and Student Hat, Method 8 honestly done makes a person Super-Literate. It is like hearing and seeing and reading for the first time!

Reading a text or instruction or book is comfortable. One has it in conceptual form. One can APPLY the material learned.

It is a new state.
