I was a druggie in 1972 and had left my wife and children of 10 years because I saw greener pastures on the horizon that included lots of sex with lots of women was the illusions I had created in my mind. I was bored with my wife. But something backfired on me and several months down the road the greener grass had never appeared. I was alone and very sad. I tried to get back with my wife and children, but she had a new found love. I went to a psychologist or psychiatrist don’t know which for help.
It was a woman doctor and after carefully listening to my story she said I needed to be with lots of women sexually as I had confided in her that my wife did not satisfy me any longer sexually. She was to meet me on a Friday night and take me around the town to find women. I left that counseling meeting and thought about it when I got home and thought she was nuts and I never went back.
A friend of mine who was a professional photographer was doing a layout for a major magazine called me from Hawaii and told me he had found a solution to my troubles. A thing called Dianetics and Scientology and he told me that I should go to a lecture in Oakland sometime to find out more about it. This news couldn’t have come at a better time as I was really depressed like no other time in my life. My world had come crashing in. I lost my wife, my children, my job and finally myself and was truly on the verge of suicide as I did not see any future for me outside of ending it all.
I told Bill my friend who called from Hawaii I would check it out so I went to a lecture on the subject of Dianetics and Scientology in Oakland one night and I listened to the speaker and there was so many things that I thought were wonderful about it, but the one that broke the camels back was when he mentioned they offered a thing called “LIFE REPAIR” holy shit I thought to myself life repair this is like space opera and the space ship had landed and there was a way out of the mental madness that was going thru me. I truly was on the verge of suicide and had been thinking about it. But I thought what the hell they told me there was a 100% money back guarantee so I went in for this thing called “LIFE REPAIR”. In Dianetics and Scientology they call their counselors “auditors” (one who listens) They do not evaluate or invalidate you but ask you things that you answer and un-believable as it may seem you get better. Getting back to this thing called “LIFE REPAIR” I got an auditor named Dan Koon who gave me this LIFE REPAIR and in just I swear it was about 11 hours my whole life had been repaired. I no longer had any more emotional heartache about my wife I had left and understood her for what she did. I mean just think about it people carry the loss of a loved one like a wife or husband thru divorce or death, friend or family by death around for years without relief and I had handled this huge loss of my wife and children and my life in only about 11 hours.
It truly was the greatest feeling in my life. I truly felt like I had been reborn and from that moment on I knew that I would continue with Dianetics and Scientology for as long as it worked for me and no longer and it has worked for me now for over 40 years. I do not belong to the church any longer for many reasons, but mostly its about the money they charge you and or want from you for some cause and it just isn’t the same church, but there is hope for anyone wanting to check out Dianetics and Scientology for themselves thru independent Scientology and Dianetics as those of us that have left the church for our own reasons are and will always be Scientologists because Mr. Hubbard has the answers to life’s problems. It works and that is the bottom line. Thank you Mr Hubbard and Mr. Dan Koon for saving my life and giving me a new life. I am eternally grateful.

Self Analysis (August 1951): Possibly the best introduction to the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology. Self Analysis contains both a series of essays on the basic discoveries Ron had made up to this point in his research as well as an extensive auditing section that a person can do by themselves right at home. The book contains a special version of the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation and a series of tests one can do to discover where you're really at. Then, by applying the processes from the second half of the book, one is guided through a path of self-discovery. At the end, you will re-do the tests to confirm your improvement. How good can you get? These techniques have been in use for more than six decades and Ron referred to them again and again throughout his research, stating that the processes here were capable of curing any neurosis.
This is the starting point for anyone wanting auditing. You will be audited by L. Ron Hubbard himself through the pages of this book.
Find a copy in used bookstores or at Alibris.com, Amazon.com, eBay. Or you can buy a new copy from these Church of Scientology organizations (but once you give them your address they may continue to send you junk mail) Bridge Publications or New Era Publications.
