“Individual sets up something over there and he says, ‘I’m going to order that around now.’ Of course, if he just set it up over there—he was just in the field of aesthetics, he didn’t care whether he commanded it or not, he’s all right. There’s nothing wrong with that.
“But now he objects to, he resists (and here we get resistance) something it is doing and so he desires himself to start, stop and change its activity. And the moment he has this—he is trying to start, stop and change it. He first does it with a postulate and then he does it maybe with a little beam. And then he starts shoving it real hard. And because the distance is too great to really regulate a good control of it, he has to move over and start pushing it hard. And here you have the deterioration of ARC. …
“Immediately above the ARC Triangle is the definition of space, which is viewpoint of dimension. Command doesn’t enter into this, however, until an individual conceives that he is going to put something there to command or, having put something there, that he should command it. Now, this is elementary and if you could just see this clearly, a tremendous amount would happen in your case just by looking at it.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
