A little celebrity Scientology news for ya. [View all]

Laura Prepon Credits Scientology for Making Her Calmer


“When I first got into Scientology, I did Personal Values and Integrity and then Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life. These courses touched on the observations I was aware of when I was younger. It was right there in black and white. It was amazing, and I felt that finally something was speaking my language. It totally connected with me,” she explained. “Pretty soon after that I got onto the Purification Rundown, and I started moving up the Bridge.”

The 35-year-old devoted Scientologist went on to explain how “auditing” helped her relax. In case you’re unaware, Scientologly believes that a MEST universe keeps a “thetan” trapped and that through the church’s rituals, you can liberate the thetan from the MEST primarily through a process called “auditing,” which is essentially therapy. (MEST stands for matter, energy, space, and time; and according to the religion, the “thetan (spirit) uses its mind as a control system between itself and the physical universe.”)

“The auditing has stripped away all of this charge, false ideas, decisions and mis-emotions that were affecting me. I recently had one of my biggest cognitions in a New Era Dianetics session,” she explained. “I spotted this decision I made a long time ago that was affecting me to this day. It was a huge realization…When you really cognate that you are a thetan and you have a mind and body, and that the MEST universe does not control you - it puts things into perspective. It takes the weight off you and things become very easy."
