I have walked the road of a Scientologist for the last twelve years now. It has been an adventure within myself, for myself, which has increased my overall ability as a person in all areas of my life. Even though I have walked this well mapped road for "myself" so far, it has made me more valuable as a person to others, which is great.

     My ethical standards as a person have increased greatly with my progression. My regards for others and my ability to see the good in them has too increased substantially.

     My steady progression as a Scientologist began with the gentle gradient of how to actually read and write properly, then progressed to how to study and communicate effectively. I had the unpleasant realization that I, together with the majority, actually are quite illiterate and haven't a clue on how to study or communicate effectively.

     Many other valuable tools which I learned, all keep me at cause, in control and winning in life, instead of always being the effect of other people and situations.

     Scientology has given me the strength to hold my own space and express my own ideas. It has given me a direction, a purpose and certainty in life.

     I have also noticed that the increase in my ability and successes in life are directly proportional to the degree of Scientology technology I apply in my every day environment.

     I actually know no other way to handle life so effectly, that I now use this data instinctively and know no different.

     Lastly but most importantly, I have come to like me (most of the time) and the turmoil that use to run rampant within me has resided and an inner peacefulness is growing.

     When I look back 12 years and compare it to the here and now, it seems like I have just come out of a deep coma.

     I am a spiritual being.

     Thank you, L. Ron Hubbard.
