ello, my name is Gilbert Perkins, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I got into Scientology by going to a meeting on depression. They gave a list of books to read. Toward the end of the meeting, a gentleman in a blue suit stood up and recommended the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Then I read it. I knew that it was the trail I wanted to follow.

     I have read several books recommended by psychiatrists and I found that they didn't make too much sense. As well, those who recommended them seemed to be walking around confused themselves. I would read Dianetics out loud to my wife and we realized before we got very far into the book that this was for us.
