One day, after moving interstate temporarily for a new job and just a change in general, the person that I was sharing an apartment with noticed that I was reading a "self-help" booklet which I had picked up in a bookstore. He asked me if I was trying to better myself. I said I would if I could but I don't know how! So he brought out a book and said that he'd read it and knew that it could help me better myself, and left it with me. That book was so good I couldn't put it down, and this is coming from someone who didn't enjoy reading. That book changed my life. Through reading it I realized why I thought the thoughts that I thought, did the things that I did, or rather, didn't do the things that I wanted to. That book is called Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Upon getting to the final pages I saw a list of the Church of Scientology Organization's worldwide. So, I picked up the phone straight away and called the nearest organization and asked the staff member how were the two connected. He told me that after the book came out in 1950, the author (L. Ron Hubbard) founded an organization called the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation and then a few years later expanded on the technology further to then form even more powerful technologies and philosophies called the Scientology Applied Religious Philosophy and hence The Church of Scientology was founded, (again, by L. Ron Hubbard). So I went into the organization and did an Oxford Capacity Analysis test which helped me spot the areas in my life that I could improve on. I immediately purchased two booklets which after studying and applying, immediately handled these two areas of my life. I would like to emphasize here that I gained an un-measurable amount MORE than what I had expected (following the trend already set by reading Dianetics).
Some examples of the successes I've had through the above are: 1. Realization's as to why I was not looking after myself (i.e. drinking alcohol and taking other substances) and then of course not needing them anymore. 2. Who were my friends, and who I thought were but really were NOT! 3. How to set targets and goals for myself and actually achieve them. 4. How to create, maintain, and improve a relationship with someone. 5. How to get the job I want, keep it, and do it excessively well. 6. Understanding individuals with whom I share this planet with and being able to help them to the best of my knowledge with the Applied Religious Philosophy of Scientology. 7. To finalize: How to be happier, healthier, more productive, and play The Game of Life, (AND WIN!). The following are the courses and services that I have done so far: 1. Purification Rundown (I haven't experienced yet one happier day in my life then that day I realized that all the drugs, chemicals, and toxins were permanently released from my body, I became much more stable, happier, energetic, alert, smarter (my I.Q. rose substantially)). 2. Therapeutic Training Routine's course (after completing this course, I could communicate with people with ease even in the most uncomfortable of situations, I could also concentrate better on the present time rather than being caught up in the past or the future and as a result achieve things better than before - again, with more ease). 3. Starting a Successful Marriage course (my girlfriend and I both did the course together to improve our relationship with a view to a create a relationship with more certainty). 4. Basic Study Manual (this course helped me with basic study methods which have now made a "reader" out of me). 5. Hubbard Dianetics Seminar (a brief introduction into applying Dianetics techniques, I can apply these techniques to any individual who wants to "talk", or "get something off their chest", or someone who is ill, had an accident or generally not well or unhappy, and have them coming out of the condition they're in with a smile on their face).
The following are the courses and services that I have signed up for and have either started or are about to start: 1. Suppressive Persons course (this course will teach me what a suppressive person is and what he does and what to do about it, also about those who are being suppressed and what can be done to help them through it). 2. Life Repair (something - by the sounds of it - that will repair my Life!).
