From anxiety about my future to confidence that I'll succeed no matter what, from having no clue about my own basic identity to the certainty that I am a spiritual being, from fixed conditions and negative emotions to the ability to wax enthusiastic and laugh at will, from mystery to an understanding of life and living, from non-optimum situations to the ability to rapidly study and learn, to the joy of creating, to pro-survival friendships wherever I go, to an enhanced ability to communicate to a heightened perception of beauty and truth, to a greater appreciation of other people...are just a few of the gains I've experienced in Dianetics and Scientology.
