People ask me every day, “Are you into Scientology? Are you a Scientologist?”
Yes, I am a Scientologist and yes, I have been using Scientology in my life for many years!
I am also a husband, father of two, an employer of 700, CEO of 11 businesses, a golfer, a scuba diver, and a lover of fine art. I also enjoy a good Cuban cigar, a UFC fight, a football game, and a good laugh.
The world is so CURIOUS and FASCINATED about Scientology. I know I was from the first time I heard about it.
They want to know: What does it do? What do Scientologists believe in? How does Scientology work? Is Scientology a church? Do you believe in God?
Well my answers are: Scientology makes life better, it believes you can be better, yes, it is a Church, and yes it very much believes in God.
I see people making videos on Youtube that clearly have never read a Scientology book or visited a Scientology church saying “out of this world” stuff that makes me think they are either crazy or on drugs.
So, I thought I would tell you myself what my experience with Scientology has been.
But first off, I am not a spokesman for the Church, I don’t work for the Church, I am not a staff member, and I am not on church payroll. I make my living working for myself. I am a proud parishioner of the Church of Scientology, like so many millions of other Scientologists around the world who use Scientology to improve their life.
For twenty plus years I have used Scientology courses and its technology to do exactly that.
Not only has Scientology improved my life but I have publicly stated in interviews, “Scientology is responsible for a majority of my success.”
I first became familiar with L. Ron Hubbard’s book, Dianetics and this one book changed my life.
At the time I was NOT doing well in life, suffering from lots of self-esteem issues and unexplainable fears. I had trouble communicating with people and lacked self-confidence.
After reading the book, I had a friend set up an appointment at a Church of Scientology in San Diego where I took a 200-question personality test that almost perfectly described the challenges I was facing in my life.
These test results were then used to create a customized auditing and training program to address my immediate issues.
Everyone should do the test, it’s completely free and will blow your mind.
I was so impressed with the people at the Church, but even more impressed that they had an EXACT progress path (route) to address the things I was most concerned with at that time. I had done a lot of counseling in the past, prior to Scientology and those other counselors just seemed to make it up as they went along and I never made any real progress. In Scientology I got results immediately.
In fact, in the graph above you can see what happened to me after just the first few hours of my customized program.
I immediately resolved lifelong problems that had been negatively impacting me including, fear, aggressiveness, lack of appreciation for others, lack of certainty, total absence of happiness, and more.
Since then, I have personally done my own research, have read countless books written by the founder L.Ron Hubbard, and have done almost every course the Church offers its parishioners. Most importantly, the results I have gotten are undeniable. Scientology has made an impact on every area of my life. It’s made me a better person, it’s given me a deep and personal understanding of God, more self-confidence, it’s made me a better father, husband, friend, a master communicator, and it has helped me think bigger and grow my business faster.
After twenty years and much research, I can only tell you the Church of Scientology has been an amazing resource for me and my family to become the best we can be to reach our full potential.
I come and go as I please, the technology is amazing, I get to BELIEVE whatever I choose to believe, and it’s affordable for everyone. There are people studying courses and using Scientology from every religion in the world: Buddhist, Baptist, Protestant, Mormon, Jewish, Muslim, Jehovah’s Witness, Catholic, and every political persuasion.
The cool thing is this is something I am able to do with my wife and kids. We have done courses with our kids online and at the Church on subjects like; Improving Your Public Image, Ethics & Honesty, Problems with Drugs, Handling Fear, Handling Conflicts and Problems, Self Confidence, Understanding Life, Illness and Injuries, Marriage and Family, Stress and Anxiety, Communication, and this is just a short list of topics courses are available on. Many of the courses are free, some cost as little as $50 and other more involved courses cost more.
There are courses for executives on finance, expansion and organization.
Bottom line is, with all the interest and curiosity about Scientology I wanted you to hear from me what my experience has been.
If you are curious, check it out for yourself. And remember what I always say, “if you want to kill a big idea, share it with small-minded people.” Scientology is a VERY BIG IDEA and it offers solutions that are very much needed in the world today.
