Decision is, you will discover, one of the fundamental points of indecision and one of the fundamental reasons why people are sane or insane—decision.
You see, decision is a short way of saying choice. And choice, of course, is the keynote of self-determinism. To determine anything, you must have the choice to determine. Choice to determine means that you must have the power of decision.
Automatically, you will discover—automatically, in any case—that the one thing that is holding up beingness is indecision, a maybe.
In any engram that presents itself to be run—in any engram that presents itself to be run, there is a maybe: two choices which are relatively evenly balanced and their even balancing make an irresolution.
Now, there’s a great deal to do with time in decision. Decision and time have a lot in common. When we have clean, clear decision, we have clean, clear time. And when we have an indecision, there is an unclarity about time. If you are trying to decide anything and having a difficulty in trying to decide that thing, the root of its trouble is time. Not even necessarily data; it’s time. There’s a time hang-up there somewhere. And if you look for that back of the data, usually the data becomes needless.
Decision: The basic decision that life makes, that theta makes, is “to be or not to be.” Shakespeare’s famous line: “To be or not to be: that is the question.” Hamlet was in very, very bad condition that day. He was hung up on the squarest maybe that anyone can be hung up on.
If you see someone facing a new job—a choice of whether or not he’s going to continue with his old job or take a new job—you may think that he is resisting change or a lot of other things, and so on. He’s not anything. I mean, he is hung up until he decides one way or the other on a beingness situation. So that any beingness situation where you had a “to be or not to be” on a case becomes itself the most aberrative situation.
Running an engram is really, basically, only necessary until the preclear has reached, of his own volition and evaluation, the decision he didn’t make. He’s found the maybe in his life. He’s found that maybe. And having found the maybe, it is clearly enough in view so that he can resolve it or evaluate its importance, and the rest of the engram will blow. It’ll disappear—become completely unaberrative.
Postulates are important only because postulates are the root material of decision. That is to say, you have the decision and you make the postulate to resolve the decision. “To be or not to be” is action or inaction, existence or no existence.

It is a quote like this and the thousand of others that make L.Ron Hubbard stand out.
To me he is a Man amongst men, A king amongst kings and I would even be so far to say a God amongst Gods.. though he would not approve of it at all..
Though I must say this quote , to fully understand it , would require a looking up of some of the linked words, it would be very worthwhile to do so.
