It's hard to put into a few sentences the impact Scientology has had in my life. Perhaps I could summarize it by saying that it has given me the HOPE FACTOR that the various things that I would like improved in myself and others can be attained. Already I can affirm that noticeable and also not so noticeable changes have occurred in myself and others through the application of Scientology and Dianetics procedures. On the other hand, Scientology is a truly democratic Religion/Philosophy because anyone regardless of race, social, economic or political status can utilize it and benefit from it. To give you an idea of my opinion of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, I think it's long overdue that he be awarded the Nobel Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, etc, for his incomparable gifts to mankind.
