ello, my name is Taron Untiedt, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I’m an artist. I paint and draw. I write music. I write books. I sing. I dance. And I’m an actor.

     I’ve been told by many that I’m very good at all these traits. I think so too, but I don’t let it get to my head.

     My whole family are Scientologists. My sister and grandfather are in the Sea Org, a Scientology organization. My mother is very highly trained in L. Ron Hubbard’s methods and ideas. And I must say, she is SUCH a pleasure to be around.

     Before I knew about Scientology, I was a pain to be around. Not only for other people, but for myself, too. And after all, I spend more time with myself than anyone else, right? So I needed some help. I wanted so badly to get away from myself and everybody else that I would often seclude myself entirely from everyone. But there was only one problem with that: I was still there. There was no way of getting away from myself. The only times I ever felt happy was when I was creating something. It would give me a feeling like I didn’t need to obey my darker side.

     But I couldn’t sit and draw forever.

     So, without knowing it, I started looking for other ways to create. First, I attempted to create by creating harmful things. They’re just so easy to make. Lies, crimes, destruction. It seemed so easy. And it was....until I had to face the consequences.

     So that wasn’t the way out.

     Then I began creating sound. I figured the more noise I make, the better I’ll feel. Unfortunately, that didn’t work too well either.

     So there I was, back with drawing.

     Then my mother came to me and suggested I get some counseling. She was pretty excited about it, so I took her word for it and got some.

     Wow.

     The results were instant and obvious. My communication abilities were greatly increased. I no longer had to seclude myself from everyone. I could be right up there with them, communicating and getting my ideas across.

     And suddenly, I wasn’t just making noise. I was making beautiful sounds. And suddenly they gave me that feeling I got when I drew.

     And suddenly, I realized that I could get that feeling everyday for the rest of my life. I just had to apply Scientology. And I found that the more I applied it’s principles, the happier I was. This was good.

     This was what I had been looking for. This was something that worked. Effects that lasted forever. And they were incredibly GOOD!

     And now I’m happy. REALLY happy. I don’t just think I’m happy, as I would with a pill. But I really am happy.

     And all I had to do was look at myself. INTO myself. Into the spiritual reality that is me. Not my body. Not the abberations and problems which seemed to be me. But ME.

     That’s my story.
