THE kIDS WAY TO HAPPINESS SEMINAR CREATES HUGE WINS!

THE KIDS WAY TO HAPPINESS SEMINAR CREATES HUGE WINS!
Eight bright-eyed kids had a complete blast learning the first few precepts of The Way to Happiness. They learned about taking care of themselves and each one got a little kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and a washcloth. Here are some great photos of how happily and immediately this precept got applied! (This was done on their own origination!)

ENTIRE BOOKS AND LECTURES COURSES COMPLETED!!!

Cindy, the Mission Holder, completed the ENTIRE BOOKS AND LECTURES COURSES!!! She says. "I am SO happy to have had the opportunity to study all this great Scientology information in chronological order with such perfect copies of the books, such perfect reproduction of the lectures by L. Ron Hubbard and such perfect glossaries and transcripts. It made study a pure joy and very easy. I have had so many wins with this material - my entire life has changed, honestly. Don't wait. Don't go slowly. Do your Basics Courses now!"

Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science

A.P. completed the book course on Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science. She had this to say: "I learned a lot from this course. I feel like I am more in control. I have more knowledge of how the mind works. I really enjoyed this course."

Book and Lecture course completion

E.Z. completed the Book and Lecture course on Handbook for Preclears and Life Continuum. He says, "What I learned from this course is don't grab any life continuums. Be self-determined. Watch my postulates and if I need to change them, I can change them. I can get out of 'maybe' and inaction and just DO something. It really got me able to handle things on my own and made me more self-determined in handling my own case. I'm more at cause."

Solutions to Work Problems

Benny completed the Basic Book Course on The Problems of Work. He had this to say: "I had been introduced to the concepts taught in the Problems of Work book when I hired a consultant for my old optometry office. A lot of the information seemed very relevant and the application of the concepts really improved how my business has run. After taking this course, I feel that I am more prepared to tackle whatever problems I may come across at work. The concepts are fun and simple but very easy to apply to just about any situation out there."

Success Through Communication

Nancy completed the Life Improvement Course, Success Through Communication. She says, "This course has helped me to listen to all the information being given to me and to completely be there through the whole communication. I feel not only have I learned the proper way to communicate with others, I've learned the importance of listening. I can see how this can help me in everyday life situations. I'm ready to apply everything I've learned and share with others. People around me have already acknowledged a difference in me and I'm happy to say I notice it too. I'm ready for more!"

Command of Theta course

Donna completed the lecture course for the series Command of Theta. Here is her success:
"The more that I do the Basics in order, the clearer all this data becomes. It's like all this unconsciousness is coming off and I really understand this data. I understand what I'm doing when I create things in my own universe and why it is so important for me to go out and do stuff in the physical universe, the universe I share with others. I also totally got that the doingness cycles are meant to be the fun stuff about living and with what I know about Be, Do and Have, I need to work on the doingness and produce 'stuff' so I got something to exchange so I can do more really fun stuff. Thanks to everyone who helped me here at the Mission and to Ron for all this data in spite of the seemingly impossibility of getting it."

The Philadelphia Doctorate Course

Tom, the Senior Case Supervisor at the Mission, completed the Philadelphia Doctorate Course. Here's what he has to say: At the end of 1952 L. Ron Hubbard delivered a course that changed thetan-kind for ever. The material he discovered and made available changes one's viewpoint, attitude and beingness. You cannot do this course without realizing what your full potentials are. You can't do this course without changing forever."

For now I must concentrate on getting to know myself. Improving myself to my fullest potential. And then I'll help others. Now I am concentrating on auditing myself with L. Ron Hubbard doing the auditing."

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."

Expanded Grade III

Eric completed Expanded Grade III and says, "I really enjoyed this grade. I got a lot of change and it was OK. 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.

It Takes Two to Tango!




Luciana and Mike Feeney delivered an amazing seminar and tango lesson at the mission on Saturday. Everyone had a fabulous time as you can tell from these photos!

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."

The Way to Happiness


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."

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."

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 :)"
