“Confrontingness is awareness. One can be aware—this is the eight-billion-seven-hundred-and-sixty-two-dollar question answered—one can be aware only of that which they are in some way willing to confront. Some willingness to confront is necessary for the phenomenon known as awareness.
“One can be aware of those things which he is willing in some way to confront. One, if he is willing—even to some slight degree—willing to confront something, he can become aware of it. But if he cannot confront it and will not confront it and has an idea that he must not confront it, it after a while disappears entirely from view and he is no longer able to be aware of it. And in that is contained IQ, ability, talent and all other such factors.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
