The clearest and most concise way of expressing what Scientology has done for me is to say that it has given me back myself and my life. What I mean is that I now know with utter certainty who I am, and I have glimpsed the magnitude of my potential as a person. My awareness and understanding of myself and of others has dramatically increased. The result is that I am virtually never surprised by what people do and can easily handle whatever might come up in my interactions with others. Though life can be turbulent at times, I feel a sense of calm and certainty that is very comforting. I know that I can create precisely what I want; and I have a clear sense of my spiritual immortality.

      What all this means is that I have been able to move through life with a high level of responsibility -- creating exactly what I want for myself and for the people around. I have been able to take what I have learned and, like a carpenter with a tool box, simply take each piece of this technology and use it to improve the conditions of my life and the lives of people around me.

      There are few gifts greater than the ability to understand oneself and life; except perhaps the ability to help others. Scientology has given me those gifts, and for that I am profoundly grateful. You too can have what I have gotten; all you have to do is reach for it.
