“A fellow’s confidence—in order to return self‑determinism to one or to many—his self-confidence as far as his own self‑determinism is concerned, must be very, very closely approaching the infinite. Otherwise, he finds that he is getting his whole beingness just kicked to pieces, the like of which nobody ever heard of. …
“As an auditor, it is of the essence that you be able to put the emotion into the environment, not the environment put the emotion into you. …
“Put emotion into that whole environment that you see. And boy, you just do that through the line, you become at length so expert on it you say, ‘…I’m in command of the situation. It’s not in command of me. Nothing could be in command of me.’”
— L. Ron Hubbard
