J.H. completed the book course on Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science.

Handbook for Preclears Book Course

T.T. completed the Handbook for Preclears Book Course. He says, "I never realized that I've been living with postulates taken on from dead people. I'll be cognizant of postulated that I use which really have not been productive. Thinking and working as who 'I' am now seems more real."

Milestone One!

M.H. completed the Basics Lectures course on Milestone One. Here's her success story:

Assist Auditing

J.Z. completed an assist auditing program in order to help her recover more rapidly from a recent surgery. She says, "I loved this auditing program I did with Tom. It was so smooth and exactly what I needed. I hadn't realized how solid I had become after the surgery I had and that completely went away! Thank you."

Manager uses The Problems of Work book

R.T. completed the book course for The Problems of Work. She is an Associate Director Client Services and here tells a story of how she applied the information she learned in the book to her management position:
"I have two new staff members so had a meeting to create a new game with my team. The team members created a tool to measure what they handle using Affinity, Reality and Communication daily and promised to share all related data and to recreate the job daily. The agreed to take a walk when they feel burnt out or tired. I let them know this method will work at home too. This is good because they know I support them in start-change-stop cycles at work. We all gave each other a high 5 at the end of the meeting."

Auditing Survey

We are doing a survey to find out how you liked auditing (if you had some). We want to improve our quality and our delivery so your answers are very important to us.

We would like to know:

• What gains you achieved in your auditing?

• Did your auditing address the problems you were trying to handle?

• Did you have any difficulties in auditing?

• Would you like more auditing?

• Any other information you think we should have.

Just copy and paste these questions into the body of an email back to us with your answers and send to paloalto@scientology.net.

Dianetics study improves understanding

JH completed a course on the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. He had this to say about it: "By doing this course I got a much deeper understanding of Dianetics and how to apply it. I also have a better understanding of how the mind works. I can now operate more independently and not be negatively affected by bizarre behavior. I also learned new ways to help people - great course!"

Dianetics frees man from drugs

M.C. completed the New Era Dianetics Drug Rundown, an auditing action which results in freedom from harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and medicine and free from the need to take them. Here is his success story:
"I never knew that simple medications people take can really affect the reactive mind. I'm free of those and handled a lot of issues regarding drugs. There is much less case in the way and I feel freer."

New Era Dianetics Case Completion!

DP today attested to the completion of New Era Dianetics! New Era Dianetics auditing consists of eighteen separate steps, specific rundowns and actions which address the engrams contained in the reactive mind. With Dianetics auditing procedure, the preclear erases those engrams, nullifying the reactive mind's ability to control the individual unwittingly. One can achieve a well and happy human being through Dianetics auditing.
Here is her success story for the Identity Rundown: "I am myself! This rundown got me to realize some things that I was carrying with me which were not really me. Once I spotted them, they vanished and now I can truly be myself for real! It's awesome!"
Here is her success story for the entire completion of New Era Dianetics: "I achieved so many things throughout this rundown that it is difficult to say it all. But I now know who I am and I have handled a lot of my reactive mind. I am extremely happy and know that my abilities as a thetan can now expand from here on out. I would like to that my auditor, Case Supervisor and Director of Processing for all of their help in getting me through and LRH for this amazing technology."

Science of Survival Improves Life

RT completed the book course for Science of Survival. She says, "Wow, what a book! The principles in this book allowed to to avoid getting sucked in by a person who was covertly hostile. I recognized it and ended the communication line. It has also helped me with parenting so I no longer use phrases that are potentially harmful to my son. I'll start his auditing fund so he can go up the tone scale. I too plan to get more auditing so I may continue to survive well."

New Era Dianetics Handles Disabilities

DP completed a New Era Dianetics auditing action dealing with things a person feels unable to be or do, The Disability Rundown. Here is her success story: "Although many of the disabilities that I had prior to New Era Dianetics were handled though other rundowns by running incidents, this rundown really ensured that nothing was missed. I now feel confident in my ability to do anything I put my mind to and I know I can succeed at it."

Confessional Auditing Brings Relief

A confessional is a type of auditing which deals with clearing up overts (transgressions against one's own moral code). It raises a person's cause level because overts are the main reason a person restrains himself and withholds himself from action. Confessional auditing helps the individual straighten out his interpersonal relationships and achieve the maximum spiritual gains from auditing. S.P. completed a confessional this week and said, "This confessional was awesome because it cleared up so many things I had on my mind. It's tough to think of anything now that I have attention on. I feel like I no longer have anything to hide and I just feel good."

Improving Life with Scientology Books

LG completed the book course for Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought. Here is what she had to say: "I got a lot out of this book. I loved learning about all the different types of valences and actually realized that some people I know are in a valence. This data is very useful and I'm glad I read this book."

Recovery of One's Education!

In the years following L. Ron Hubbard's breakthrough on the importance of the misunderstood word, he developed a considerable body of technology which enables one to deal with the misunderstood words or symbols he encounters: the subject called Word Clearing. It can be defined as the subject and action of clearing away the ignorance, misunderstoods and false definitions of words and barriers to their use. Method One Word Clearing procedure results in the recovery of ones education. DP just completed Method One Word Clearing! She says, "This was an amazing auditing action because I wasn't reading books or having someone teach me anything, yet through doing the process, I actually did recover a lot of knowledge that I had lost or forgotten in my past education! It's a great feeling of knowingness!"
