Of all the ways I have benefited from Scientology, the one that I am most in awe over is the increase in my ability to see what I see and act from that observation. I used to sort of see things through filters of one sort or another, my upbringing, my education, the opinions of others, etc. I would sum up my experience in Scientology as the process of regaining and rehabilitating my ability to be myself. The freedom this gives me is amazing. It’s like shedding shackles and being able to move again for the first time in a very long time.
