My first success in Scientology was when I enrolled in a course called Self Analysis. My curiosity about myself and what was driving me was to be met in the doing of this course. I was put with another student as a partner on this course and we practiced recalling memories from our pasts. One of the questions was, “Recall a time when you felt lucky.” My partner responded with a recall of an incident when he was riding a motorcycle and came around a corner to find a large truck crossing over the middle line of the road. He just missed fatal collision! This was his version of “lucky"! The attitude and physical demeanor of my partner changed dramatically after the telling of this event and he was smiling, laughing and light-hearted. (Very different from the quiet, sullen and withdrawn person he had been prior.)

     These explorations into past memories made me feel quite wonderful as well. It was participating in this course which made me motivated to learn more about Scientology and gave me a tool to use when I was feeling down. I became master of my own moods and attitudes and no longer subject to falling victim to others’ anger, rejection or depression. I could, at will, change my state of mind and become genuinely cheerful and happy - and I had helped change the disposition of another person in a very positive way.

     This changed my life and continues to do so!!
