I was a good candidate to take the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. I was already an HSDC (and later NED) auditor and Class IV auditor (no certs due to no internship), trained in the 1970’s. I started this training with gusto and I believe I only slowed...

I was a good candidate to take the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. I was already an HSDC (and later NED) auditor and Class IV auditor (no certs due to no internship), trained in the 1970’s. I decided to do the SHSBC in the mid 1990’s as I...

I was a "Founding Member" of the International Association of Scientologists because I signed up back in the day it was started. I really didn't ever give it much thought over the years, nor did my husband and I increase our "status" in the activity through donations. Imagine...

I was around when The Way To Happiness (TWTH) was originally released. At that time, it was a small soft cover booklet and 20 or so of these could be bundled for distribution. And, distributed they were! I knew the person who took charge of whole sale distribution of the...

From it's original release, I always called Modern Management Technology Defined the "Admin Dictionary." The full name of the book was far too cumbersome! The "Admin Dictionary" became part and parcel of study on administrative policies and was so useful. As with the Technical Dictionary, one could not only...

The Technical Dictionary has always had a prominent spot on my bookshelf. Not only is it invaluable for clearing up technical words, it also serves as a reverse reference. Find the word, locate the correct definition, go back to the original reference where the word appeared. So, it always had...

I have used Scientology 0-8, the Book of Basics, for many years. It's an excellent quick reference for scales, creeds and codes. It also has the wondrous Factors, Axioms (Scientology and Dianetics) and Logics. As a student, many times this book has been listed on the check sheet and I've...

When the three volume Management Series was originally released, it replaced the single volume Management Series. I didn't like the new release because I had used the first volume for years and knew it so well. Yet, as I used the new three volume set more and more, I began...

Introduction to Scientology Ethics is without a doubt my most favorite book! I have a later reprint of an early edition of the book and it's just as thin as can be. But it's packed full of information that I can and do use in life to better conditions. Later...

As with the Scientology Drug Rundown, New OT IV - OT Drug Rundown, ran lightly for me due to the fact I had never taken street/illegal drugs. I recall interesting things came up addressing medicines and alcohol but it wasn't necessarily the "mind-blowing" phenomenon which might have occurred with the...

I was soooo excited to do New OT V! This is a series of rundowns, the exact number of which I forget. However, it begins with indoctrination in the materials of the level. That's when I started laughing. The materials were so incredible to me, I was in a constant...

The Scientology Drug Rundown, while required to progress up the processing side of the Bridge, ran very lightly for me. Although street/illegal drugs were prominant in my peer group, I never had the opportunity nor inclination to take them. So, the main drugs we addressed were either prescribed, purchased over-the-counter,...

I have taken this course two or three times, depending on check sheet revisions. The first time I took the course was the very best as it opened my eyes to a whole realm of new thought about the effects of a suppressive person. As a kid, I always disliked...

Back in 1984 I was thrown into a difficult business situation. Although I had studied quite a bit of administrative technology by that time, I needed a quick fix to assist me with the business situation. Exec Status One was perfect for that use. I learned simple effective tools which...

I took the Hubbard Elementary Data Series Evaluator Course in the later 1990's and what a delight this course was. I learned about outpoints, plus points, situations, statistics, why's and much more. The net effect was that I could step back, view something, and then evaluate it as to a...

Having finished the Key to Life Course in the 1990's, my next step was the Life Orientation Course. This was an incredible training cycle for me because it aligned many random vectors into what I discovered to be my "Hat in Life." As with the Key to Life Course, this...

I took the Key to Life Course in the 1990's and what a training cycle that was. Imagine learning the alphabet backwards and studying grammar for understanding and use; word definitions galore and sentence composition; punctuation. The course took me quite a long time on a part time...

I went Clear on Dianetic auditing. In fact, a friend and I were co-auditing Dianetics back in the later 1970's. She would audit me and I would audit her. At the time it occurred, I did not know I had achieved the state of Clear. It was some...

I received my Life Repair as one of the very first auditing actions when I started in Scientology in 1974. Intensives didn't cost much back in those days and somehow we managed to scrape together a couple. Whatever I had attention on up to that time was addressed and, in...

If I recall correctly, I did the Happiness Rundown in the late 1970's, possibly the very early 1980's. It wasn't long after the Way to Happiness booklet had been released. I loved the simplicity of the auditing based on the precepts in the booklet. It was so smooth...

I was programmed for the False Purpose Rundown somewhere along the line. If I recall correctly, it was after original OT III and before the new NOTS program. I didn't want to do it! But, I was nicely handled by the auditor and case supervisor, so we did the basic...
