Scientology <\/a>is on maximizing the potential of the
\nindividual.<\/p>\nScientologists believe that you can change, that you can be better
\nthan you are. We believe that you can be a smarter, faster, braver and
\nkinder person. When we take this into the larger sphere,
\nScientologists believe that the world can be a better place.<\/p>\n
We believe that we have real practical tools to bring this about.
\nScientology is populated by people who read what it\u2019s founder, L. Ron
\nHubbard, wrote and decided it was worth trying out. They found that it
\nworked for them and improved their lives. They want to bring this
\nchange to others.<\/p>\n
When a person gets involved in Scientology he undertakes various
\nexercises to improve certain core abilities. Just a few of these are:<\/p>\n
Exercises in confront. If you are going to change something you first
\nmust be able to confront it. Asking a girl for a date, putting in for
\na promotion, learning to skydive \u2014 all of these require confront.
\nScientology has practical exercises that improve this ability.<\/p>\n
Exercises in communications. Communication is the bedrock of human
\nrelations. Scientology improves a person\u2019s ability to get his point
\nacross and more importantly, his ability to listen and let the other
\nperson know that he has been heard and understood.<\/p>\n
Exercises in efficiency. Have you noticed that some people spend an
\nentire day in frantic motion, but produce nothing of value?
\nScientology teaches you how to improve your efficiency and get more
\ndone in less time.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
