“A choice obviously indicates that there are other objects in the world which have an influence upon you, you see? We say, ‘Well, I choose,’ therefore there must be a couple of things that have an influence upon you. Right?
“If we said, ‘Make a decision,’ well, that sort of infers we have a little more control over it but we are still being monitored to some slight degree by other objects. We have to decide something. But we are deciding from a cause basis there, more or less, on an action to be taken or something to happen.
“Now, above that level we simply make a postulate. We say, ‘I think that will happen.’ Above that level we don’t have to do a thing about it at all, we just know.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
