“We have the individual in this interesting condition: He is owner of everything. There isn’t anything in any universe, much less just this one, that he could not own. You see, there’s just nothing he couldn’t own. So, he then has to postulate that he owns something, but before he postulates that, he has to postulate that he doesn’t own anything in order to own something. …
“A thetan has a terrible time trying to suppress his own capabilities and possessions to a point where he can specifically be, have and do things. You see, at any moment you’re just liable to fly out, boom! and own the whole world. And boom! own the whole universe. And be playing all sides of all games.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
