"When you can be your own best audience and when your applause is the best applause you know of, you're in good shape. And when you can play a real good role — when you can go down here and be the mule or be the general with equal verve, in the total spirit of play, and do it with terrific sincerity — you're living!"

— L. Ron Hubbard



Excerpted from the lecture Ability to Accept Direction delivered on 21 December 1953.

It's much more fun to be the audience of Mike Ferris and that Mcbride woman. Lovely to see them playing their roles and being mules, with total sincerity>

Thanks for adding to the humour.

Parsed into Brittania-speak:

"I am a card-carrrying narcissist, and I am here to steal your admiration from you by telling elaborately-worded nonsensical lies to boost my woefully low self-opinion. I'm a really a really real person like you all are; and, you should pretend to be as enthusiastic about life as I am, as that is how I was able to get all you suckers in here to listen to my drivel in the first place. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
