I first found out about Scientology while in Hamburg, Germany and did my first course out there. Back in the UK I continued with these studies with the result that former neighbors would no longer recognize the more outgoing, competent, freer person I now am. Aside from the tremendous value I derived from the Scientology religious auditing (counseling) and courses, the L. Ron Hubbard Administrative Technology has turned my career prospects right round. Beforehand I was totally computer illiterate with no ambition or interest in the direction of computing - today I develop databases from scratch and write complex programs to answer users' requirements. I also work miracles when required from the Scientology Handbook - see 'My Favorite L. Ron Hubbard Book' in the 'Find Out More' page of my site..
