I’ve included here four areas or subjects where the application of L. Ron Hubbard’s discoveries has had major life-changing impact. I have had many more successes in Scientology too numerous to describe in detail. Perhaps you can relate to these four: How to Study, Know Thyself, True Love and Controlling One’s Destiny.
HOW TO STUDY
My first major training in Scientology was a professional-level course in how to study and be a successful student – The Student Hat Course. (The course gets its name in this manner: On a train, a locomotive engineer and a conductor each wears a different kind of hat. You will notice that various jobs in the society are designated by different hats. From this we get the word “hat” as a slang term meaning one’s specialized duties. This is one’s hat.) On The Student Hat Course I learned how to study for the purpose of applying a subject to get valuable products.
I took this course near the end of my junior year at Colorado School of Mines – one of the world’s most demanding schools of mineral engineering and geology. I was doing poorly in one course, Electrical Engineering. I needed to get very near the highest possible grade on the final exam or I would flunk the course.
I applied a very basic datum from The Student Hat Course as I studied for the exam over the weekend. On Monday I took the test and got an “A+” and passed the course.
My senior year was a breeze because of the data from that course. If there is a subject that can be learned and applied, I can do it. The Student Hat Course opened up a universe of knowledge to me.
KNOW THYSELF
Wisdom of the ages is this. The philosophers of old could demand this of their followers, but couldn’t show them how. Here’s how: AUDITING.
Auditing is Scientology processes and procedures used by a trained auditor to help someone improve conditions. An auditor (Scientology practitioner) asks questions which get a person to look at his own existence, at what he is and where he is. The auditor listens to the person’s answers and makes sure the questions are fully answered. That is why the term auditor is used – it means one who listens. And Scientology auditors do listen. Through Scientology auditing you can come to really know who you are, and you will like what you find out.
The first professional auditing I received was a program called Life Repair. On this auditing I came to know the truth about myself and my fellow man: We are spiritual beings. We can exist and live independently of a body. Over a long, long period of time, we have had many identities, or bodies.
Now you may or may not believe me. But this was my success – I now knew these truths unshakably. And in finding my past, I found I had a future. In knowing I had lived before I had solved for myself the major riddle of death.
What happens when a person dies? The answers are in you. Have You Lived Before This Life? is a book by L. Ron Hubbard describing what can happen when a person dies and what kinds of past life adventures people being audited have discovered.
I had many other successes on the Life Repair. Before doing that auditing, I wasn’t too sure about how I felt about myself. Sometimes I would think I’m not such a good guy, to put it mildly. After the Life Repair I knew the truth about myself and I liked myself. In fact, I felt so good about myself and life, just to have that joy was an uplifting experience. I would want you to have such an experience. So get audited!
One more thing about this quest for truth. L. Ron Hubbard’s technology is lightning fast. And it truly is a technology – an application of scientific knowledge and advances to practical purposes. It works! I have mentioned only a few of the gains from the Life Repair. These are permanent gains. Kings and emperors would have sacrificed armies for these personal gains if only they had the chance. Yet the total time auditing for my Life Repair was about 10 hours.
TRUE LOVE
One very wonderful benefit from much of my Scientology auditing and education was that I came to understand what true love is. Love for others was rejuvenated in me, and that opened a spiritual door – in receiving auditing I could sometimes recognize people I had known in previous lives. (This is no minor success-after all, they had different bodies in earlier lives, and so their physical appearances had changed.)
To me, a true love is someone that I know I will always love, life after life. Through auditing, I discovered who some of my true loves are. Some are friends of today, but may have been sweethearts of long ago. I was very happy to discover that my wife is a long-standing true love. She always will be.
Have you ever experienced love at first sight? I have, too. Could this person be a loved-one from a previous life?
To have a perspective on where I have been and where I am going, to have my love for others restored – these are my most cherished accomplishments. They were brought about by Mr. Hubbard’s technology applied by a skilled auditor and myself, who had the answers all along.
CONTROLLING ONE’S DESTINY
There are two very special courses developed by L. Ron Hubbard to enable a person to truly win in life and make his dreams come true. If you look around, you’ll probably notice a few folks who have long since given up on their dreams. Life has its way of hemming one in.
I have completed the first of these two courses, The Key to Life, and am well into the second one: The Life Orientation Course. Both of these courses include very specialized auditing in addition to training.
The Key to Life Course took my abilities from The Student Hat Course (see above) and amplified them a hundred fold. It increased my ability to communicate so much, that I can get people to really understand me and I can understand them. I fully comprehend what I read. L. Ron Hubbard once said, “he is as alive as he can communicate.” As a result of the Key to Life course, life has opened up to me; it’s a game, an adventure.
On the Life Orientation Course, I have already gained more know-how and flair in playing that game. I am training on the Life Orientation Course because I don’t want to settle for a life in which I can just “get by.” I would much rather have a life in which I’m the one who wins, and has fun playing to win.
The result attained from the course is to get one’s life in clear perspective and under control, with a certainty on the laws of life, knowing what one is doing to forward one’s own purposes.
That’s what I call controlling one’s destiny. I’ll be sure to update this web page when I complete the course and get that result.
