I encountered Dianetics and Scientology in the early 1980.

     The first thing I did in Scientology was the Communications course. It made a lot of difference to me, I overcame my shyness and inability to meet other people face to face.

     Another course that has helped me a lot is the Student Hat, where you learn to apply the Study Technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard. I have had very much use of and benefit from this technology: Subjects that earlier seemed boring or difficult to me, became more easily available, just by approaching the subject in this NEW WAY.

     What I have gained from Scientology is, first and foremost, an increased awareness of myself. I have received and given to others the spiritual therapies of Dianetics and Scientology. From this counseling, I have experienced the feeling of "life coming back to me again". I have felt much happiness from discovering forgotten moments of the past, and have also been able to contact past lives (which made me feel very calm inside--knowing that I have lived many lifetimes before, will live many more, and that these past lifetime memories are still there to be gradually found and understood by me).

     From giving spiritual counseling to others, I have learned that to really help your fellow men you don't need to educate yourself for half a lifetime, but rather just be willing and able to listen and communicate to them.
