Church of Scientology of Washington State — Attraction in Seattle

I recently did my Survival Rundown at the Seattle Church of Scientology and it made a complete change in my life. I am now 100% "in the present" and not operating off of past or future computations, feelings, decisions, et cetera. Just being in the moment at all times. That sounds impossible but it isn't. The SRD was a 360 degree life changing action.

There's no way to do this course/co-auditing action and not come out the other end a completely new human being with completely new perspectives and appreciation of all the good there is in the world and in oneself. I am an objective human being now (meaning my attention is OUT all the time now rather than embroiled on worries, anxieties and mental strife and turmoil). I think one could just do this one course and nothing else and coast along quite happy for the rest of their lives.

Many are stuck in time to varying degrees. I think it's good that there are over 250 processes (simple and easy-to-do) developed by Hubbard on this Survival Rundown course to get a person out of those stuck periods in time and fully in the here and now.

This course/action averaged out to about $2 an hour after all was said and done. I paid $2500 for it (which is a steal). I audited another for 500 hours and received 600+ hours myself. This course gave the highest return on investment of any course or auditing or self-betterment action I have EVER done in my life. And I have done A LOT. Anyone who says services in Scientology are expensive or that you are required to pay for more than you need has not recently done any actual service in Scientology.

The staff were amazing, helpful and a-to-b with answering any questions or small hiccups I had along the way. There was a canteen where I could eat or buy lunch on breaks and it is a comfortable, feng-shui place to hang out and meet people.

If you want to know what Scientology is just order a beginning book, read it, then call and ask to do the Survival Rundown. There is one set-up step for the SRD but after that...one's life will never be the same.

Note: The term "auditing" an action or a "drill" type of action which involves giving another a question or command to follow which when implemented helps a person locate and eradicate harmful, unwanted, hidden "bad energy" from the past and also opens/frees up "good energy" that got buried. ;) Co-auditing is when two people audit each other back and forth "cooperatively". It's called auditing because there's some listening involved (just like in any therapy).

History: I was on Scientology staff for 15 years till 2004 and am highly learned in Scientology technology. I am not a staff member currently and I wasn't asked by anyone to give this review. So yes, there is some bias/prejudice in this review but only that substantiated by actual experience which I, myself,...

Stay Far Away from Scientology – A Dangerous, Deceptive Cult

Scientology is not a religion — it’s a dangerous, manipulative, money-hungry cult that destroys lives, families, and minds. It masquerades as a spiritual path, but underneath the surface lies a deeply disturbing system built on fear, control, and exploitation.

Let’s start with the core beliefs they hide from newcomers. At the upper levels (which you have to pay thousands of dollars to reach), they teach that 75 million years ago an alien overlord named Xenu froze billions of souls, transported them to Earth, dumped them into volcanoes, and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. According to their beliefs, these disembodied souls — called “thetans” — now cling to every human and cause psychological distress. Scientology claims their “auditing” process can rid you of these thetans — for a price, of course.

This sounds like bad science fiction for a reason: their founder, L. Ron Hubbard, was a science fiction writer. He once said, "If you want to get rich, start a religion." That’s exactly what he did.

But it gets even darker.

Inside Scientology, there's a secretive and abusive hierarchy called the Sea Org, where members sign a billion-year contract and are forced to work up to 110 hours a week for as little as $47. Many live in poverty, cut off from the outside world, stripped of basic freedoms.

Even worse is a place known as “The Hole” — an actual punishment facility in California, where disobedient Sea Org members are reportedly confined, humiliated, and psychologically abused for months or even years. This has been exposed by whistleblowers and documented in books and documentaries, including Leah Remini’s "Scientology and the Aftermath."

They also practice disconnection, meaning if you leave or criticize Scientology, your family still inside is ordered to cut you off completely. Parents lose children. Wives lose husbands. The destruction of families is one of their ugliest tactics of control.

They prey on the vulnerable. They exploit wealthier members. They hide behind the mask of “religious freedom” to avoid accountability. And they relentlessly harass critics and former members, using intimidation, lawsuits, and surveillance.

This is not a religion — it’s a cult built on lies, secrecy, manipulation, and abuse.

Please — if someone tries to recruit you, walk away. Don’t let their shiny celebrity endorsements fool you.

I've never been a member but have done tons of research on this evil cult!

Warn your friends. Protect your family. And stay far away from Scientology.

If you want true help, peace and freedom seek the one true GOD, Jesus Christ, he will change your life for the...

The Church on West Harrison is a great place to visit and a gem to Seattle. The building is impeccably clean and laid out perfectly to accommodate hundreds of people. The staff is the most friendly and organized group in all of Seattle and have an ethical level of saints especially since they have to endure mindless clichés like “it’s a cult”. Each floor has been carefully designed to handle a specific type of activity. This makes getting around very easy and productive. The first floor is full of displays for new people wanting to find out more and anyone is free to walk in and view them without assistance. The course rooms are always well stocked, organized and full of reference materials for study. They are busy with people learning everything from how to improve their performance at work to lessons on what Man really is. The Church has a convenient exercise and sauna area built right into the third floor for those wanting to do the body purification program and clear their bodies of drugs and toxins. The auditing (counseling) rooms are perfectly sized and have great views of the Puget Sound and Downtown Seattle. They have a massive bookstore right in the Church with excellent displays of high-quality books and recorded lectures. As a matter of fact, there is more to read there than you could get through in five years. There is a well-stocked canteen with healthy snacks for lunchtime as well as vitamins and other good-for-you items. So come prepared to have your questions answered and your socks knocked off or just to be somewhere serene away from the rat race. And...
