“An individual’s ability to confront life is parallel with his ability to confront his own pictures. And if he can confront his own life totally and he is capable throughout his livingness, and if he’s doing a good, inspired job on every hand, he hasn’t got any pictures.
“Pictures are the source of anything below 2.0 on the Tone Scale—see Science of Survival. They’re no use to you, they’re no use to me, except as an amusement.
“Remembering by pictures is a different thing than just remembering. You can remember by creating the Isness of a picture and then looking at the picture and knowing about it. But that is a method of memory. It’s a perfectly good method, but how about just being able to remember? What do you want the mass for?”
— L. Ron Hubbard
