Delancey (shown at right) completed the Science of Survival book and lecture course! Here is her success story: "This course was awesome. It is now real to me exactly how people act at every level of the tone scale. I am confident in my ability to spot people on the scale and now I know which people I want around me and not. It's all about converting entheta to theta and I can apply that to everything I do!"

Donna (at right working on her course) completed Milestone One course and says, "I really understand what we're all trying to do in Scientology and how really possible it is to have a safe and sane planet to live on and how we can do it. I got how important knowledge is and that the more you know about Scientology data, the more it helps you to align other data and use it to conquer the physical universe! Thanks to Ron for all of this and to everyone here who helps me and keeps this mission here for all of us."

Sterling, a college student and soccer player, completed Scientology Grade I, an auditing grade addressing help and problems. He says, "This grade was phenomenal. I now know that I'm a product.

This grade has given me the confidence to find solutions for all my problems and help me be more cause over them."

2008-05-19T13:47:00.000-07:00

Fundamentals of Thought

2008-05-19T13:23:00.000-07:00

"WOW! What an amazing course! I’ll never be the same. This stuff about valences! Wow! I might be a hundred people in one! And so far from being myself. This is what I’ve been searching for years for: answers, facts and how to go about improving self. And even finding my true self. Can’t wait to find out who I really am! As far as life as a game, amazing! It really is! What a messed up game and character I chose. It’s crazy! All odds were against me. I couldn’t win. Thank god I didn’t die in the process. As far as me, I’m doing great! I feel I have hope now! This Scientology is remarkable. If only everyone knew, and weren’t content with their life or stuck on someone else’s lie. Someone else’s lie that became their truth. If only people would search for their own answers and find out what’s true to them. I’m so proud of myself for not taking anyone’s word for it or spending my life depending on blind faith. My goal always has been to change for the better and to one day be an example and help others! Like you! It must be very rewarding. Thank you for your time, patience and friendship!"

Basic Books Courses

2008-05-12T14:11:00.000-07:00

Students in the Palo Alto Mission Courseroom continue to have super successes while studying the Basic Books Courses! Here are two recent completions and their success stories:
Mary completed the Science of Survival Book and Lectures course, "How true that Dianetics and Scientology are NEW. No matter that the book was written over 50 years ago or that I read it first years ago. It's new, it's vital and Science of Survival alone would boost this planet greatly."

Tim completed the Dianetics Book and Lectures course, "It is much clearer to me how having the ability to differentiate and distinguish things puts us above others to work successfully in the real world. Just being able to stop and rationally think about how things (mind) really works is truly gratifying."

The Way to Happiness

2008-05-01T14:23:00.001-07:00

Harrison finished the extension course for the Way to Happiness book, a book by L. Ron Hubbard on a common-sense and non-religious moral code. He says, "This was very fun to learn and I look forward to applying it in life."

Scientology Course Completion

2008-05-01T14:18:00.001-07:00

Donna completed the Handbook for Preclears and Life Continuum Course. Here is what she had to say: "On this course I really, really got how important knowing all this data that I'm getting is because even when I don't know what hidden data is actually there that is influencing me in present time, I can see that it is and analytically use that to change things in present time. I understand about 'maybes' and how that affects a person in doing things and planning the future. I also can apply this to me and better keep my own postulates out there and better make the physical universe agree with me instead of the other way around. Thanks to Ron for the data and everyone at the mission who helped me."

Dianetics Books and Lectures Course

2008-04-26T16:41:00.000-07:00

Sterling completed the course on Dianetics Book and Lectures course and says, "This course was really awesome to say the least. I've never read this book before and I'm glad that the first time I did was the actual one that L. Ron Hubbard intended us to read. It was especially awesome to see how he came upon Dianetics, the principles and axioms which he later used to found Scientology. I'm really glad I read this book because now I feel like I have a solid base for the rest of my basics and Bridge."

Joellen completed the book course on Self Analysis and says, "I can use and apply the principles and data that I learned in Self Analysis to survive. By running lists either alone or with someone else I can bring myself higher up on the tone scale, improve memory, reduce pain or any number of positive things."

New Era Dianetics Win

2008-04-12T15:14:00.000-07:00

Delancey (at right with her auditor Tom) completed a New Era Dianetics rundown, the Drug Rundown. This is auditing which resolves the factors in the reactive mind related to drugs, medicines and alcohol, eradicating not only the unwanted aftereffects of these substances, but even reactive forces that initially led one to turn to drugs. The harmful effects of drugs on the mind are erased and a person is freed from any compulsion to take drugs. Here is her success story: "I haven't taken very many drugs this lifetime but this rundown cleaned up any and everything that was still there as a result of drugs! Now I know they won't affect me in my future auditing and that's a good feeling :)"

Grade IV Completion!

2008-04-02T13:44:00.001-07:00

Expanded Grade IV, Ability Release: The auditing processes of this Grade enable the person to view himself in relation to all life and free himself from any patterns of thought and action which, while seeming to promote one's survival, in reality, do any but. When one moves out of fixed conditions, he can experience a huge resurgence in the ability to choose, partake in and enjoy new activities. Moving out of fixed conditions and being able to do other things is attained at Expanded Grade IV. Delancey, Mission Staff Member, completed this Grade and here is her success story: "This was an amazing auditing action, While each grade gave me a newly regained skill and awareness of myself and the wold around me, Grade IV far surpassed the gains of all the others. I now am aware of the fixed conditions I was in so I can be free of them. I am also more confident of my own abilities to do things and don't need to justify my actions. And it feels great!"
