There are so many ways my life has improved as a result of Scientology. My story is not unusual - I had been shy and fearful as a child, and as I grew older, my confusions multiplied.

     I knew that people needed help - no one had provided us with an operating manual for life on earth. But in school I was taught that humans can never know the answers to the ultimate and biggest questions of life. Man’s mind was considered to be an unknowable and unsolvable mystery. And more and more we began to hear from scientists that our minds, our consciousness, our creativity, and even our dreams and aspirations stemmed from chemicals, molecules and/or genes combining in different ways - that when we died, our consciousness ended and we ceased to exist.

     These ideas made life and its prospects seem very bleak! I could not escape the conclusion that all was for nothing if humans - sentient, aware beings capable of love and the most wonderful creations - must die and cease to exist. Yet most of the western world apparently believed just that.

     When I was introduced to Scientology, I rapidly discovered that these statements were false. It was amazing, but I began to find out for myself answers to practical questions such as how to change unwanted conditions for the better, and even the largest questions such as who we really are and what life is all about.

     I began to discover my own spiritual nature and that of others, and my entire life took a huge leap forward. I discovered the real makeup of a human being, why I had been unhappy, and how I could change it. And I did change it.

     For the first time in my life I became extroverted and cheerful. I had hope for my future and wasn’t constantly worrying. I began finding great pleasure in communication with others. My shyness disappeared and I discovered I had a playful sense of humor. Through its study and counseling you can become both more able to think clearly, and more lighthearted and able to experience and enjoy the good pleasures of life.

     I felt very, very different and I knew I was finally learning truths about myself and life that would be with me, and help me, forever. I began making my own decisions about life and became much bolder and more self-determined than I could even have imagined. (And yet there is still a huge amount of self-improvement left for me to make!) I also became much more able to recognize truth in all its forms, and distinguish it from lies.

     I was lucky that some dear relatives told me about Scientology. As a result of it I have become able to tackle and master many things that I would never before have considered remotely possible. One of the purposes of Scientology is to show people how to lead a better life in their own estimation. The word Scientology is formed from Latin words which mean “knowing how to know.” And that is what it’s all about.

     If you are searching for answers, my website can point you in the right direction. I hope you will take advantage of the links I’ve included on the “My Favorite Links” page to learn more about Scientology. There is a wealth of material available online to help you with any area of your life or yourself that you want to change.

     A great idea is to go to the online bookstore and pick out a Scientology book to read so you can take your time with it, see for yourself what it’s all about, and make your own decisions about it.
