Type of Article	Category:History of Scientology

This Danish Scientology dictionary was issued in 1970, 20 years after Scientology was started approximately 10 years after Scientology came to Denmark.

Brief history is as follows. After L. Ron Hubbard produced the study technology, at a point when Scientology had existed for many years with its own terminology and jargon and a need for good dictionary was well known he ordered a dictionary to be made. He planned it in two phases. First a short free dictionary was to be made and issued free as a "teaser" (advertising product) for a comprehensive Scientology dictionary. The smaller (English-language) dictionary was issued (without any advertising for the comprehensive dictionary) but, possibly because resources were diverted to other urgent products, the full Scientology tech dictionary did not come out until much later (1975). The programme was so badly mismanaged that the initial little dictionary was regarded as the Scientology dictionary.

In Denmark with a language problem (in the beginning all materials were in English, nothing was translated to Danish) the need for a dictionary was great and this little book is the result of local initiative and was translated from the English small dictionary and local auditors basically translated the English dictionary into Danish.

The book is 14 cm x 21.5 cm and has 44 pages.

a problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing. You’ve got two forces or two ideas which are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right there. All right, now with these two things one stuck against the other you get a sort of a timelessness, it floats in time. (SH Spec 82, 6111C21) 2 . a problem is a postulate-counter-postulate resulting in indecision. That is the first manifestation of problems, and the first consequence of a problem is indecision. (SH Spec 27, 6107C11) 3 . a multiple confusion. (SH Spec 26X, 6107C03) 4 . an intention counter-intention that worries the preclear. (HCOB 23 Feb 61) 5 . a problem is the conflict arising from two opposing intentions. A present time problem is one that exists in present time, in a real universe. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 6 . something which is persisting, the as-is-ness of which cannot be attained easily. (PRO 16, 5408CM20)
