The Creation of Human Ability

"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.

More Awareness

T.T. completed the Milestone One Lecture Course and says, "It's interesting to see more of how we have moved on the track, what we had done and had done to ourselves.

The person achieves an enhanced ability to confront, experience and find advantage in the inevitable changes of life. Here is his success story: "Grade 3 was a lot of fun. Throughout it, I had a lot of realizations and just noticed things that I hadn't really looked at before. Things in life became easier to handle and I also realized something big that was making me unhappy. Overall, I'm glad I did this grade and I feel very good about it."

Communication Release!

J.H. completed Expanded Grade Zero, Communication Release. This auditing level addresses the subject of communication and handles spiritual factors having to do with the giving and receiving of communication.

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."

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.
