“A thetan never has anything to learn about himself. The only thing he can learn about at all is what he is granting life to. And it, of course, is not alive and so has to have life granted to it in order for it to exist at all. So that’s what he’s trying to learn about.
“And when a fellow is trying to learn about himself, he is pulling a complete misnomer. He’s saying, ‘I am trying to learn about some of the things I am granting life to.’ That’s not himself.
“The only thing there is to learn about himself is that he can be dissuaded from granting life to things that he probably should be granting life to and that he can be encouraged to grant some life to things he probably ought to leave alone. In other words, he loses his discernment of what he ought to grant life and beingness to.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
