LRH Book Science of Survival

Book I Chapter 23

“The courage level of an individual is actually a direct index of the free theta-enturbulated theta, or the theta-entheta, ratio of that individual.”

“Courage level has a great deal to do with auditing. The auditor who has a low courage level is apt to let the pre-clear get into such a thing as a fear or terror engram and, justifying the action as sympathy, let the pre-clear out without having run the incident. This will most rapidly and certainly snarl the case.”

“So far as courage level is concerned in auditing, any auditor must have the courage to take anything from the pre-clear and run a pre-clear through anything without quailing. A coward has no business in the auditor's chair, and if he is so placed, the pre-clear can expect to have his case ruined. In a later column on the chart you will see the tone level required of the auditor in order to handle preclears; the data most pertinent to this is courage level.

“…A persistent address to the problem, however, requires courage since one of the components of courage is duration of effort.”
