Scientology has helped me in my life numerous ways. I took a course called the Personal Efficiency course which has helped me realize that I am a spiritual being and not my mind or my body - that I have control over my mind and body. I am capable of creating what I want. It's not just a saying or a concept that you have been hearing from other people or books you read, but an actualization that you can apply to your life. I can get things done I thought I didn't have the "brains" to do before I had this realization. It goes along the same line as faith - it put my religious beliefs into practical application in everyday life, not just something "ideal".
