Life Improvement Course Success

Joellen completed the Life Improvement Course, Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life. Here is what she had to say, "I have learned to name and recognize anti-social behavior and know that positive people are social behavior type people. I will apply this knowledge by simply being more aware of those people around me and with whom I associate.
I plan on moving forward with positive results in life. By doing this course I hope to eliminate roller-coastering, which is moving up and down emotionally and physically."

Basics Courses Successes

The Mission is now delivering the Basics Books and Lectures Courses! Here are a few of the wins our students are having on just a few of these courses:

The Problems of Work Course:
"Wow! I cannot express just how enlightening this has been for me. Just during the reading of this book I have begun to apply the basics of good control and have been quite successful. My employees have become more productive and my employer has become more satisfied." RW
Self Analysis Book Course
“I feel a new understanding about life and how I can control it. I really understand survival and how to survive on a prosurvival level. It is so easy to understand and put into use. Thanks Ron.” SA

Fundamentals of Thought Book Course
“I’m reading about Reality – that it is simply agreement which you can reach with anyone with enough communication. And I realized just how powerful that is. We literally get to control and create our reality by simply reaching agreements with others on what it is. That is the joy of creating from yet another viewpoint. Just decide what you want, get agreement, and then, enjoy!” JH

Grade II Auditing Completion

Scientology Expanded Grades consist of a series of auditing processes which restore to the individual specific abilities and lay a strong foundation for more advanced auditing. Expanded Grade II is also called "Relief Release" because the auditing on this level brings relief to a person from the hostilities and sufferings of life. Eric, Mission Executive and Professional Auditor, just completed this Grade and has this to say:
"This was really cool. It really handled a bunch of things for me on the subject of cause: being cause or being an effect. I was able to feel relief from both - things I have caused another and things another has caused me. I also found that I am less afraid to be cause and more willing to be cause. Before I was afraid of what might happen. This was a good grade. I feel lots less withheld to since I cleaned up that area. Thanks to my auditor, my case supervisor and Ron.

Emotional Tone Scale Course

Roni just completed the Scientology Handbook course on the Emotional Tone Scale. Here's what she has to say, "Wow! Simply knowing the tone level of a person can make my personal and business life much easier. Not to mention that being able to spot a tone level and going uptone by just a small amount may just be the way to help another - the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Incredible! It's as simple as that! Thanks, guys and gals."

Emotional Tone Scale Course


Jose just completed a course on the Emotional Tone Scale. He says, "I have had many wins on this course. Being able to use the Emotional Tone Scale to spot different people and where they actually are on the chart is great."

Success Through Communication Course

Roni just completed the Success Through Communication Course. This is a course which teaches 18 very specific communication skills to improve one's ability to communicate in business and social areas. Here's what Roni has to say, "I have been successful in applying all aspects of this course in my work as well as my personal and social life.

New Era Dianetics Success

Eric has been receiving some New Era Dianetics auditing. He had a big win today and wrote a success story. Here it is:
"After my session it kept hitting me what had happened in my session. My win just kept on going. What I spotted really is the first time I started thinking, 'there must be something wrong with me.' and let me tell you I have had that thought many times, on a physical and mental aspect. It was really interesting that once I spottedwhat had happened and where I got that from, the whole thing blew! It's really hard to put into words what happened. Words just don't do this kind of win justice. Dianetics really is simple and it works."

Basic Study Manual Course

Romell completed the Basic Study Manual Course. This course provides a more comprehensive education in Study Technology than the other basic study books. It can be studied by middle and high school students and adults to improve their ability to use what they study, and also by professionals to improve their competence in the workplace. Here is Romell's success story, "This course has helped me teach my son how to learn and read better. It is also helping me with all the other work related course I am taking because I study with the intention of applying what I learned in my life. This was the best course because it is the foundation of gaining knowledge."

Robin wins studying the Basics of Scientology!

I’m lucky! I am currently studying the Basics Books and Lectures Course full time and I feel like I’m discovering Dianetics and Scientology all over again. The wins I’ve had span across my dynamics. My viewpoint of life and the world around me gets saner by the day because I’m getting the truth right from Ron. Studying these materials chronologically brings order to this vast body of knowledge. With this alignment, there is so much more understanding to be had.
And while my wins on a personal level are huge and could fill up pages, what I look forward to most is using this new certainty and knowledge at the mission. I feel we now actually have a way to impart this incredible religion of ours to new public straight from Ron like never before. I know my ability to help others has increased ten-fold already and that this increased personal certainty will make me more effective at creating new Scientologists – and that’s what it’s all about!

Scientology Personal Efficiency Course

Jose completed the Personal Efficiency Course. This course teaches the very basics of Scientology and introduces a person to auditing by co-auditing the recall processes from the book Self Analysis. Here is Jose's success story:
"I used all the tools I have learned on this course. The auditing is good and should be done every day for good results. I'm able to communicate better and feel more comfortable in my life. I'm doing good and ready to keep going up the Bridge!"

Happiness Rundown auditing

Jenna just completed the Happiness Rundown! This is an auditing action that L. Ron Hubbard developed based on the booklet The Way to Happiness, a nonreligious moral code based on common sense.
Ron says, "The object of the rundown is to clear up any confusions on the subject of morals, any and all transgressions against these specific morals, to slide the person out of the valence of any immoral person and obtain an EP (end phenomena) of a realization that one really is on the Way to Happiness."
Jenna said in her success story, "Before I did this, I would always tell myself that I was going to do things to help myself. They would never happen. Now I feel like I can do everything in order to be as happy as possible."

Success from a Field Staff Member on helping someone with Scientology

I am an FSM (Field Staff Member) for Palo Alto Mission. Recently I was having trouble with a junior at work - I caught him doing some dishonest things that would ordinarily get him fired in any work situation. Instead of firing him, I decided to get him some help by routing him onto the Personal Values and Integrity course at PA Mission. I told him not to come back until he was done with the course and then I'd see if I would hire him back. I chose this particular mission because of the very personal care they were willing to give. Well, two days later he finished the course and came back to me with a BIG change in viewpoint. He had lots of wins and insights - he said his vision went far. I could see he had changed, not only in relation to the job, but I could see the rest of hi life come into order where it had been chaos. So, I let him back on the job, he did TONS better! His sales stats were way up! His tone level was up! He was being honest and straight with me. What a product! This is after only two days! He got it. He is now winning greatly in life. Instead of experiencing a discreditable lose, he is creating great success with his new-found understanding of integrity tech. His life really was saved. He wants to do more services and will be routing onto Success Through Communication Course. This also is a major change. It took me 12 years to get him onto services. Now he WANTS to go. So, I would like to thank PA Mission for delivering excellent service. These people care and they are EFFECTIVE. Their high affinity, reality and communication with their public supporting technical standardness can't be beat. It is so good to be able to depend on this group to come through on their delivery. I see now that I can trust them completely with my selectees! Much much love, Karen

SCIENTOLOGY ADVICE on Children

Problem: How do you, without using force, get a child to do things?

Solution: People think that persuasion works with children. It doesn’t. It’s communication that does the trick. You say, “Well, it’s time for you to go to bed now,” and he says, “No.” Don’t stay on the subject. Leave it alone and just talk about something else, “What did you do today?” “Where?” “How?” “Oh, did you? Is that a fact?” “Well, how about going to bed?” and the answer will be “Okay.”

One doesn’t have to use force. Go into communication with the child, and control follows this as an inevitability. Omit control from the beginning when bringing up a child and he who looks to you for a lot of his direction and control is gypped. He thinks you don’t care about him.

For further help on this subject, get the Scientology Handbook Booklet, Children.
