Aberration Quote by L. Ron Hubbard
“Now, there is something else interesting here, is this thing called self-determinism and pan-determinism. We have found that there is something stands as a barrier between the ability of a person to be self-determined and the condition he is in, and that is willingness to be controlled.

And until he has a total tolerance of control, he cannot be self-determined or pan-determined.”
