Life Repair Auditing

Benny 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 Benny's success story: "When I first started Life Repair, I was depressed and distraught over a lot of things that had happened in my career. Now I've come to realize that the world isn't nearly as hostile as it seemed and that managing my fears and concerns required me to maintain a high level of optimism. I've learned to face my problems and my anger issues and have figured out where a lot of my frustrations came from. Life Repair has made me much more optimistic about life. I feel that I can get out there and achieve what I aim to achieve. I understand what mistakes I've made in the past and have learned how not to make them again. Life is not perfect but I've learned that there are lots of good things in life and I need to stop and learn to enjoy them."

Problems of Work book

Here is a success story from a new student after only a few chapters of study on the book Problems of Work:
"This book has helped me understand more the problems that occur in everyday life, not only at work but in normal life situations, relationships or even family. The course allows you to identify some or all of the errors that we commit in our lives and how to approach them in order to make something good out of something bad. Also by teaching you how to deal with other people, you improve your social skills." L.M. Photo Lab Supervisor

Dennis completed the Life Improvement Course, How to Improve Conditions in Life. He says, "Wow! It feels like I may have a formula that I can apply to my life without compromise and have it work and move forward."

Auditing Completion

Jeff completed ARC Straightwire, an auditing grade which makes a person more able to recall and results in attaining the ability to know that he/she won't get worse. Here's his success story:
"I didn't know how to be happy or what being happy meant before ARC Straightwire. Sure, there were times when I was having fun or enjoying myself but I had never experienced true, unfettered happiness. I am much more agreeable now and much more willing to be myself. I do not need a reason to be happy and the world is a much more beautiful place along with the people in it." Wow!
Here is Jeff (on right) with his auditor, Eric.

I also noticed that I am more aware of others and what they are doing and don't get get bothered by their decision or action to change. I also don't feel I have to go around changing everyone or walk on egg shells around people if they aren't how I want them. This is just some of what I got out of this.

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.

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.

Fundamentals of Thought

"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

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."

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

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

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."

New Era Dianetics Win

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!

Grade IV Completion!

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.

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!"

Expanded Grade IV Completion

Mark has just 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 is Mark's success story:
"I just have to say that all the Grades were awesome, especially Grade IV. I knew that this Grade would handle a lot of considerations that were limiting me in my ability to live life with others. And it has! I just had to put my attention in the right places. The Hubbard Guidance Center has been great at taking me through this. It's been an adventurous journey from the start and I am confident and certain about whatever the future holds for me and the rest of my trip across the Bridge. I look forward to confronting the remains of the reactive mind and handling it for good! I have has so many gains in Scientology the past 2 years and I look forward to (and can barely imagine) what surprises are in store for me. Thanks again to the Palo Alto Mission, the Hubbard^® Guidance Center and my auditor Eric Z for delivering 100% standard tech and giving me the opportunity to experience what L. Ron Hubbard has been trying to show all of mankind."

Donna completes all the Basic Book Courses

Here's Donna's success story: "I’m not really sure where to begin on this. It’s a really great accomplishment for me to have gotten through all of the extension courses. I’m one of those people who almost never goes to course. Of course, I had great excuses like I’m a staff member and there is always lots and lots to do on post.

But this time around I got really interested. Reading these Basics in the right sequence gave me all of the data that I had been missing. I found out that you can’t get through courses by doing one page every three weeks or worse. You have to go and study alot and go as fast as you can. I feel like I was getting into present time on the Dianetics^® and Scientology^® time line. I would be still in the “past” if I hadn’t gone through all of these books and I still need to listen to all of the lectures now too, so that I have all of the data.

There’s a lot more too - like the tremendous way in which studying all this data in sequence helps understanding. I feel like was right there with Ron as he is working out all the ways this all works and how it all fits together. I’ve listened to a lot of the lectures and read books before, but I skipped around all over the place and never did read stuff in sequence before. It’s all making a lot more sense now."

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health

Delancey completed the Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health Book and Lectures Course and says, "I learned so much from this course that I would never be able to write it all down. It really became real to me how important it is to clear this planet and how valuable this data really is. I cannot wait to continue on the Basics and go with L. Ron Hubbard through everything up to present time - because I know that Dianetics is just the beginning and that there is much more to come! And, I finished on Ron's birthday - so Happy Birthday and thank you for this tech!"

Romell completed the Dianetics^® book course and says, "I now have a profound respect for auditors. They are a contribution to all of Man. Dianetics first aid is prevention and the cure to most ills.

Jose completed The Problem of Work book course and says, "I practice and use this in my life to fix all these problems. I learned ideas and how to work hard and be happy and to have more energy in my life."
