Much has been written about the subject of Scientology over the years - most of that though has concentrated on the abuses of the Church. Those abuses were - and are - very real and criticism on that score is entirely justified. Unfortunately, that is only part of the story. The news about the spiritual technology developed by L Ron Hubbard between 1950 and 1985 has been largely minimized, ignored, or falsified. I've been a follower of Hubbard's tech for 50 years. When I've been able to practice it in its correct form - either in a safe group or by myself - the results have been very beneficial. Whether or not you believe the author of this new work is the "reincarnated" Ron - and I believe he is - the tech he has introduced in the past 6 months or so is extraordinary - a major advance on the subject. Much of this new tech can be found in this book.
Since leaving the church 20 years ago I've been applying the knowledge I picked up over the years - and have been very happy with the results. However, when this new tech became available to me about 4 months ago, I decided to give it a try. What a revelation! My progress - already very good - speeded up tremendously. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book.
