Changing Ideas About Work

R. T. had a Dianetics Counseling Session and had this to say about it: "I was amazed how Dianetic counseling lead to new realizations related to work. I know I need to work with many people vs. being sequestered as an owner/operator in a retail business. I thrive when I am able to move about within an organization establishing multiple communication lines. I enjoy managing projects through the planned cycle of action. Everyone should try Dianetic Counseling as you never know what insight you may gain if you don't."

The group is a living thing. It thinks, eats and resolves problems just like you and I. It can be made better to improve or not improve."

Understanding the Problems of Work

2010-11-04T15:24:00.001-07:00

We had another super successful Personal Efficiency Course last Saturday!
This is what our graduates had to say:

"It was good to gain further certainty on this information. I will be able to communicate with my co-workers better and have more control of my tools at work. I also need to use the tools to handle and get rid of exhaustion. I see that it really works, simply and effectively."

"I know how to apply the things I learned in this film (The Problems of Work Film) and it will really help me make my life easier and it's really important to use this information."

"The section of the film about the 'Doctrine of a Stable Datum' helped me to understand why people will believe things that are actually not true and don't really work in their lives (such as "All men are bad"). They just picked that as a stable idea and have been continuing to use that idea. It really clears up a lot about how people act sometimes!"

The State of Clear!

2010-10-28T15:12:00.001-07:00

R.W. reached the state of Clear!

"This process affirmed what L Ron Hubbard wanted for everyone and I am one of them to have reached the state of CLEAR! I have happiness and lots of it!! This has totally changed me like no other- I am continually reminded by my ear to ear grin and funny enough, my cheeks don't hurt. Thank you everyone for all your help!"

Congratulations! To find out more about the State of Clear, read Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health or come in to watch the How to Use Dianetics film.

2010-10-03T16:31:00.000-07:00

A. T. finished the Dianetics Book and Lectures course. He said "This was awesome to finally read Dianetics and learn about the subject for myself. I really liked seeing where Mr. Hubbard was coming from when he developed the subject. It's funny how a lot of the concepts make sense but at the same time seem outrageous. Maybe that's why it took man so long to figure it out."

The Simplicity of Facing

2010-10-03T16:21:00.000-07:00

J. M. had a win while practicing confronting [the action of being able to face]. This is what he said: "I had a win on confronting. I realized that being there comfortably doesn't require thought. It's such a simplicity but resolves a lot of complexity. It's simply beautiful!"

New Life Improvement Course: How to Achieve Self-Confidence

2010-09-18T10:03:00.000-07:00

Are you directing your life? Become more certain of yourself. Gain Self-Confidence!

Self-confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get it. Did you every feel more certain of yourself in the past? Would you like to raise your self-confidence?

To increase self-confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens, you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self-esteem.

"This was one of the most powerful courses I've ever taken. Other courses helped me handle specific parts of my life, but any of that can be blocked when part of the mind says 'you can't do anything.' The course helped me confront that part of the mind. Now I know what to do." V.J.

Come by and see us to sign up for this amazing course!

Along with that, my eyes have been opened to the way in which these problems can be eradicated. With this course, I will be more aware of the causes of my pain in life, and how I can overcome it, and help overcome the pain of others. If used correctly, and spread to others, the knowledge contained in this course can basically help society survive, rather than be destroyed."

Gaining Hope For A Beautiful Future

2010-07-10T13:44:00.000-07:00

J.H. finished the Command of Theta lecture series. She said about it: "Mr. Hubbard continues to clearly define the capabilities and nature of human spirt, and the unthinking existence of the material universe, in terms of me and my friends and my body (and theirs), and pretty soon that material universe just fades into less and less importance and I get more and more hope for a truly endless and beautiful future. In fact, knowledge is power, isn't it? My thanks to Mr. Hubbard for the data and the Mission for making it available to study."

Thinking In A More Direct Way

2010-07-10T13:26:00.000-07:00

J.H. completed the Technique88/Source Of Life Energy book and lectures course.

And I'm less hung up on the body and this lifetime as an "end" in itself. I love the idea of disagreeing now - never really understood what this meant before. Sure makes the environment look a bit batty though! Thanks Mr. Hubbard and the Palo Alto Mission."

I just have to laugh at it all."

Using Data Learned

2010-06-12T08:39:00.001-07:00

D. W finished the 1st International Congress of Dianeticists and Scientologists lectures. She said this about them: "This was really interesting - like so much stuff I hope I can remember it all but somehow I will because I can use it. As I learn this stuff, it's an understanding in a whole new range and I keep getting more and more aware. Thanks, Mr. Hubbard, for all of this data!"

Applying Data Learned To Life

2010-06-12T08:32:00.000-07:00

2010-04-04T10:55:00.001-07:00

D. W. finished the Dianetics Professional Course lectures. Here is what she said about them: "This course had a whole lot of surprises for me. Mr. Hubbard is not going over old data again - it's like getting it in a whole new dimension, sort of like the difference in viewing something in black and white and two dimensions and then viewing it in color and three dimensions. This course is the best data and summary of Dianetics and it really brings it all together. Thanks, Mr. Hubbard for the data and to everyone here for being here."

This is designed to bring a lot of brightness back into a person's life and help him or her to relieve past upsets in life so that the future is beautiful. Here are her wins: "I have gained so much through Life Repair that it is hard to just share one success.

It has brought me closer to my son and freed me of my usual rushed and red face of hurry up or we'll be late. My son used to ask me if "I had my coffee" so I could return to present time. The biggest success is at work. I intended to get a position that I was told I could not have because someone else was going to be placed. That story did not have an impact on me because I knew it was something I could have without any negativity. Needless to say, I got the position. Eric is a fantastic Counselor and I highly recommend everyone do Life Repair. It is only the tip of the iceberg! More to come... "

More Aware and More Able

2010-01-13T17:26:00.000-08:00

TC completed Expanded Grade IV, which moves a person out of fixed conditions and gives them the ablity to do other things. Here is what she said about it: "Once again this grade seemed to be at a great gradient to face and go through! I thought it would be more intense than it was. I really keyed out when I found out what some of my service facsimiles [a consideration that one must be consistently in a certain state in order to survive] were and I feel more aware now - of myself and what I know and what is going on in my environment. I feel more able."

W. is being counseled on New Era Dianetics Auditing and had this to say about his experience: "It's utterly amazing when one finds "THAT" postulate [a conclusion, decision or resolution made by the individual himself ] which seems soooo true to you and you say "What was all that about?". It no longer STICKS!! It's gone!! If you're ready to go on to New Era Dianetics Auditing don't stop - don't delay because this is where the Funk/Junk disappears!! GONE! You have gone this far and now you're feeling pretty good but this is where it gets handled forever!!"

Effecting Life

J.H. completed the History of Man/Technique 88 book and lecture series. Here is what she had to say about them: "I guess I read this book before - I guess! Getting the data in the sequence developed and communicated by Mr. Hubbard makes a HUGE difference, as well as the glossaries and especially, especially the lectures. It was easy to not get this information before but it's now comfortable and has become part of my personal reality. This has a huge effect on my own aberrations but also my life. I mean come on! How can anyone ever be the same again?!

Thanks, Mr. Hubbard and Palo Alto Mission."

Using Communication to Survive Better in the Future

2009-12-12T08:27:00.000-08:00

I.R. completed the Success Through Communications course. He had this to say about it: "After the rigid training with my teacher, I feel that I now can hear and recognize different types of communication in real life. It is now up to me to use the tool that she gave to me to fulfill my roles in life as a father, as a husband, as a great citizen and to continue communicating properly so that I do not become a criminal in this universe. Mr. Hubbard said not to communicate is a crime. Communication is the heart in life. Without communication, you are basically dead.

I would like to thank my teacher for the gift of communication because now my communication skills are beating like a heart. I will keep it that way to survive in my future endeavors."

Probably knowing that there is no hidden influence gives me more of a calmness and less worry about what someone may say. I can have more certainty about my beingness and what I can postulate. Being able to change and control anchor points, change and control my space will go a long way towards my ability to create and produce in the future."

Improving Life

2009-12-06T12:06:00.000-08:00

Learning To Help Others With Their Problems

2009-10-29T19:39:00.000-07:00

D. W. completed the Dianetics: The Original Thesis book course. She said: "Well here I am back at the beginning again.

I just really understand this data much more than I ever did. I know how to at least avoid or minimize getting keyed in for myself and for others around me and why that's so important for the survival of all of us. I know why the necessity level works and it also explains why I love to fly, work with electricity, play with fire (welding) and drive cars really fast (when I can). Just exteriorizing a person's attention from their own interior problems works wonders and for me too!

Anyway, thanks to Ron for all of this data and to everyone here who helps keep this place here for thetans [immortal spiritual beings; the human soul] like me."

Fully Competent With Dianetics

2009-10-29T19:22:00.000-07:00

With the data and techniques contained on this course, I am now fully competent and relaxed about auditing Dianetics."

No Trouble With Past Upsets

2009-10-29T19:14:00.000-07:00

T.C. finished the auditing action Expanded Grade III, which frees a person from the upsets of the past and gives them the ability to face the future. Here are his gains: "I've been feeling better the past few weeks and was thinking how past upsets didn't matter and I've been realizing that it's important to grant others beingness at whatever reality point they are at and just keep communicating and increase the understanding, then help them on a gradient. It seems all the grades build on each other and each new one helps the prior grades expand for me in wins."

Troubles and Worries Lessened

2009-10-28T18:04:00.000-07:00

T.T. completed the Philadelphia Doctorate Course lectures and Scientology 8-8008 book. Here are his successes: "I definitely took off some charge after thinking about just making myself "bigger" by giving myself more space. I find that a lot of troubles and worries I may have seem very trifle now.

I think that making good postulates [conclusions, decisions or resolutions made by the individual himself] are important now. Some of the counter effort has come off. When I just think of the postulate away from flows and energy, it gives me more belief now that I can achieve certain things that I previously doubted prior to this course."

Dealing With Others Better

2009-10-22T18:11:00.000-07:00

H.Z. finished the Evolution of a Science course. He had this to say about the course: "I learned about the reactive mind [that part of the mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis, which is not under a person’s volitional control] and theory and practice of controlling/predicting it. [I gained]:

- Better control of my reactive mind

- Better [in] dealing with others - patience, endurance

- New perspectives on behavior."

Excited About Life

2009-10-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

T.M completed Life Repair auditing. This is auditing designed to bring a lot of brightness back into a person's life and help him or her to relieve past upsets in life so that the future is beautiful. Here is what he has to say about his experience: "I feel excited and enthusiastic about life, and that my life is on a good track. I feel that I understand life much better, and that I can handle different situations much better than before, so that I can keep it on track much better in the future."

Command of Theta Completion

2009-10-21T19:17:00.000-07:00

M.H completed the Command of Theta lectures course. She said this about the course: "This course produces results similar to Upper Levels auditing. Maybe there's a special quality of the exteriorzation [the state of the spirt being outside his body ], seems that way anyway.

The data helps you unravel and end cycle on gnarly stuff!"

Communicating Better

2009-10-21T19:04:00.000-07:00

J.H. finished Expanded Grade 0, which frees a person from any blocks the person has in the area of communication. These are her wins: "This Grade was so crazy! I had a time crunch and I caught myself trying to rush through things and move faster. I realized that I could still go fast while actually gaining. I did this and got SO much done in a very short time. My wins kept getting bigger and bigger and I totally surprised myself. I feel so good about it all!"

Life Changing Course

2009-10-21T18:47:00.000-07:00

JB finished the Milestone One lectures course. He had this to say about it "This was a GREAT! course but the thing that made it even better was that I had tons of realitizations about my life and myself that changed me greatly. Big time change! Thanks, Ron!"

The Route to Infinity

2009-10-05T19:07:00.000-07:00

J.H. finished The Route to Infinity lecture series. She says: "I learned that raising ARC [Affinity, Reality and Communication: the components of understanding] and cause across my dynamics [the eight urges, drives or impulses of life] is a gradual rise and key to that is finding and getting off overts [harmful acts] against those dynamics. Otherwise one just refuses to rise for fear of doing more harm than good."

Surviving Better

2009-09-27T14:06:00.000-07:00

J.H. completed the Science of Survival book and lectures course. He says: “This was a fantastic book and course. I learned how to apply the Chart of Human Evaluation and got a deeper understanding of the theory of how the spirit relates to the material world.”

Dissolving Problems!

2009-09-02T14:08:00.001-07:00

JH completed Expanded Grade I. This is an auditing level where the preclear gains the ability to recognize the actual source of problems, at which point they cease to be problems.
He says, "Expanded Grade One was a cycle that has given me an ability which I know I will use for the rest of my existence. It has dissolved barriers that I once had and I am no longer being held back from myself. I am not saying I'm now perfect, but I am much more free. I love it!"

Learning about thought, emotion and effort

2009-08-28T15:59:00.000-07:00

SP completed the course Thought, Emotion and Effort. He says, "This course was a joy to accomplish. The course combined with the lectures presented mass amounts of information that took some time to understand fully but became very real once I grasped it. Almost everything in the course I could directly apply to my life or see in life around me. Overall, this book and lectures were awesome and I can't wait to continue the basics."

Teen understands life better

2009-08-28T15:45:00.000-07:00

JH completed the book course Self Analysis and says, "This course has given me such amazing and beneficial tools to go help others! I cannot wait to put them to use and see the results!"

Teenager understanding ethics

2009-08-17T14:06:00.000-07:00

MW completed a course on Ethics and says, "The Ethics Book has been an amazing course. It has broadened my knowledge of what reason, ethics, responsibility and the eight dynamics are as well as how to properly apply them. Although these lessons were immeasurably helpful, the most significant part of this course has been the explanation of overts and withholds and all that follows. I now know why I am others can sometimes act so unreasonably after a petty mistake/bad act. This knowledge has shown me how to handle people, including myself, incredibly better. I have thoroughly enjoyed as well as benefitted from The Ethics Book and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, no matter your age or experience level."

Postpartum Depression

2009-08-17T14:00:00.000-07:00

Here is some vital data about the dangerous proposed Mothers Act from cchr.org. See the link for the full article.

"THE MOTHERS ACT: A VIOLATION OF INFORMED CONSENT

The Melanie Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care Act, also known as the Mothers Act, is a federal bill named after Melanie Stokes, a woman who suffered emotional difficulties after giving birth and was subsequently prescribed a cocktail of intensely controversial psychiatric drugs including anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant drugs (documented by the US FDA to cause worsening depression, mania and suicidal ideation) before being subjected to electroshock treatment.

Melanie Stokes was in the mental health system, was prescribed drugs, was hospitalized, was subjected to the still barbaric practice of electroshock and then committed suicide. That is what the mental health industry did for a new mother named Melanie Stokes. It is incredible that a story such as this does not raise alarm bells within Congress on the negligence of prescribing cocktails of psychiatric drugs to new mothers, drugs documented by the US FDA and international drug regulatory agencies to cause worsening depression, depersonalization, mania, psychosis, suicidal and homicidal ideation. Conversely the bill before Congress entitled the "Mothers Act", which already passed the House of Representatives and is now before the Senate, will assuredly increase new mothers being prescribed these deadly drugs, the most common treatment for women diagnosed with postpartum depression...."

Route to Infinity Course

2009-07-15T16:18:00.000-07:00

MC just completed the lecture course "Route to Infinity." He said, "This is my second time listening to these lectures. I got more understanding of facsimiles and how to disintegrate them and how they really work."

Art

2009-07-11T11:32:00.000-07:00

CW completed The Art Book course and said, "This course has honestly been the best I have ever studied. All of the information was mind-blowingly helpful to me. I wanted to frame every page of the book! It was particularly useful because I'm fairly involved in the arts. This course was truly amazing, applicable and just enjoyable overall."

Communication

2009-07-06T16:55:00.000-07:00

LW completed the course, Success Through Communication. He said, "I found many weaknesses in myself in terms of communication. Many inappropriate tones, gestures and facial expressions were discovered. These had given someone with whom I was having a conversation wrong ideas. After we found them and made appropriate adjustmants, I feel more confident in delivering my messages to people and to audiences."

Changed viewpoint about life

2009-07-03T14:10:00.000-07:00

A person serving time in prison has been studying the Problems of Work book and wrote this to us:
Has this course changed my viewpoint about life? Yes, I believe it has. I've always been fond of work but I like to set my own terms. This course has changed the way I think about work. It has made me more aware of the whole machine and of my part in it. I've learned to look at my part in the work I do as being important, even it at first it doesn't seem so for me. I always believed that work in any form is important to a healthy life and your teschings have reaffirmed that.
I am also more conscious of my surroundings and my spere of influence. I believe that, yes, it has changed my viewpoint on life and my part and purpose in it.
I do believe I conduct myself better when problems arise. Problem solving has become much easier and less confusing when I appy the maxim of the stable datum.
Sincerely, J

A good history lesson

2009-07-02T13:54:00.000-07:00

DP completed the book and lecture course for Scientology: A History of Man and says, "This book and lecture series were amazing! They were so eye opening and really got me to see where I've been and what I've gone through. I cannot wait to audit all of these incidents on the Clearing Course and I'm excited to see what's next on my basics. Thanks to L. Ron Hubbard for this great data!"

Winning with Dianetics Auditing

2009-06-27T15:09:00.000-07:00

AP has been receiving some Dianetics auditing and wrote this success story:
"New Era Dianetics auditing has been such an adventure for me even though I just started. Every day I've gone back and found some postulate that has still affected my life today. It has been amazing and I love it!"

Assist Auditing Program

2009-06-27T12:55:00.000-07:00

JH completed an assist auditing program and says, "This program was wild! I now have a much higher level of ARC for myself and much higher respect for my abilities. I have recovered from something that many people never recover from fully. I know that if they did fully recover from incidents similar to mine, they would be much improved beings. I had never experienced Dianetics auditing before. It is unbelievable in the best way! I didn't know what I could achieve until I achieved it and it was a beautiful achievement." Here he is (on left) with his auditor Eric.

Life Repair Auditing

2009-06-27T12:53:00.000-07:00

AJ completed Life Repair auditing and says, "Before auditing, my life wasn't going so well. I found out I had many overts and withholds. But lucky for me I had an amazing auditor. We handled everything that need to be handled and more, thanks to Tom. I really think that my life has changed enormously!! I am so grateful that I had him as an auditor."

Learning How to Learn

2009-06-27T12:48:00.000-07:00

FC completed the course, Learning How to Learn and says, "I fully understand the course now and see that the last time I studied this, I was a little off. It is now really easy for me to spot misunderstood words and lack of mass.

The mechanism of blame

2009-06-26T16:32:00.000-07:00

JH completed the book and lecture course for Handbook for Preclears. She says, "I learned so much from this book and these lectures, especially the lecture about cause on all dynamics and the mechanism of blame. I listen to this daily now, had my son and my husband listen to it and it has changed the whole dynamic for the better! Marvelous data! Thanks to the Mission for providing and to L. Ron Hubbard for discovering!"

Milestone One Course

2009-06-20T15:46:00.000-07:00

MC completed the lecture course on Milestone One. He says, "The data about whole track incidents really validated things I've already seen on my whole track. So excited to see more!"

2009-06-15T13:53:00.000-07:00

JB finished the Handbook for Preclears Book and Lecture Course. He said, "I thought the coolest part of this course was the fact that a person without an auditor could use the book to get processed. But of course there is much great data to use in my life. It was cool. Thanks Ron."

New Outlook on Life

2009-04-09T13:52:00.000-07:00

Avalon completed 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. Here's what she has to say, "Grade IV was truly amazing! I feel like I have a new outlook on life! I feel that I can take on new things and I feel free from fixed ideas I used to have."

Children's Communication Course

2009-04-08T16:24:00.000-07:00

H.L. completed the Children's Communication Course and says, "I had a win on completing this course and I can use all the communication drills to help me in life. I learned to really be there and I learned how to really handle someone's problems so that they feel good in the communication cycle!"

Advanced Procedure and Axioms

2009-04-08T16:07:00.000-07:00

J.H. finished the book and lecture course on Advanced Procedures and Axioms and says, "A lot of the data could easily stand alone as entire workable philosophies like the concepts of self-determinism, intelligence, thought-emotion-effort, responsibility and sympathy. Reading and hearing L. Ron Hubbard explain these concepts was fun and informative and and made me happy, because this is all true for every thetan. He is explaining you to you and your fellow man to you. The result is treating yourself and them with much more love, respect and understanding, along with being much more effective at bettering your own life and theirs. That's what I got - best bargain in the universe! Thanks Palo Alto Mission! Thanks Ron!"

Freedom from the upsets of the past

2009-03-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

A.P. completed Expanded Grade Three! This auditing results in a person who is free from the upsets of the past with the ability to face the future. On Grade III processes one locates specific incidents where upsetting change occurred in life and addresses these so that they no longer adversely affect one. Some of the processes also enhance the ability of the individual to create positive change in himself or his environment. She says, "Grade III was awesome. I feel really good about being able to be okay with the past and to face the future confidently. I also know that I can cause changes for the good of myself and others. I feel comfortable with changes in my life."

Children's Communication Course

2009-03-26T12:42:00.000-07:00

G.L. completed the Children's Communication Course and says he will use it in his life. In his success story he said, "If you were talking to someone you would understand them and they would understand you. I'm going to make sure I'm using good communication."

Learning How to Learn

2009-03-26T12:33:00.000-07:00

T.L. completed the study course "Learning How to Learn." She says, "I loved learning how to learn! I learned the barriers to study and I'll know it for life. My favorite thing to learn about was lack of mass and misunderstood words."

The Entire Basics Books and Lectures Courses

2009-03-19T14:24:00.000-07:00

D.W. completed the Fundamentals of Thought and Professional Course book and lecture course. She says, "This is the last of the book and lecture courses so just getting through all of these is a win for me. The biggest win is just my understanding of Dianetics and Scientology. But, I wouldn't have gotten this understanding if I hadn't done these in sequence - what a difference that makes. There're definitely things that I can apply in controlling communication cycles and in handling people with communication alone. I understand so much more about the reactive mind, about facsililes and how they follow electronic phenomena, about games and how a thetn creates mysteries for himself by not-knowing and so gets himself stuck. I just know more as a preclear and what an auditor is trying to do in session. I know about how much trouble thetans get into with agreements and I know that once a thetan can take over the automaticity of his facsimiles, he's in control of them and it doesn't matter if they're erased or not. Thanks to everyone here who keeps this place here and to Ron for all of this data - the books AND the lectures are so important to my understanding of all of this."

The Creation of Human Ability

2009-03-18T15:09:00.000-07:00

E.Z. completed the Creation of Human Ability book course. He says, "This course was very good and helpful for me as an auditor. I got a lot of the theory behind the processes I run on my PCs. Very helpful. It make each of the processes make more sense in why we run them. Sweet!"

The Handbook for Preclears

2009-03-07T15:45:00.000-08:00

M.C. completed the Book and Lecture course for The Handbook for Preclears. Here is what he has to say: "This course really helped me understand self-determinism and how it relates to the environment. It also helped me understand others' purposes."

Basics Book and Lecture Courses

2009-03-06T12:46:00.000-08:00

Three students completed book and lecture courses on the Basics.

T.T. finished History of Man and Technique 88 and says, "Just by knowing more of where I've been helps to bring about hope of an understanding of the sources for aberrations held. By also balancing thought, flows and facsimiles will help to improve my tone, bring about more tone and rediscovered ability." D.P. also completed the book course and says, "This was an amazing book! I really learned a lot about why things and people are the way they are and I learned what's really on the whole track! I cannot wait to continue my auditing and handle it all."

D.W. finished Dianetics 55 and Unification Congress and says, "I feel like I have a much, much better understanding of communication and what I can do with it. I know how to get out of trouble with it by using it - if I get into trouble by communicatiing. Also I have a way to restore some former abilities by using it too - so that's really, really useful."

The Creation of Human Ability

2009-02-19T13:09:00.000-08:00

"I just completed The Creation of Human Ability and Phoenix Lectures course. This course gave me a really, really good understanding of beings and this universe and how it all goes together. The biggest win is really just undersatnding things that I have been trying to understand for so long. One of the wins on this course is that I've actually been able to get my garage set up as a workshop. It was sort of set up before but wasn't very workable. Thanks to Ron for all this data and to everyone at the mission who keep this place open for lost thetans like me." - D.W.
