It seems you would be a good candidtate for scientology.
Their 'belief' go like this:
The human being/body is a perfect processing machine;and it records all experiences. The human being is thus 'playing' the recording perfectly given the particular information (experience) given it.
So, if a person finds that their life in unsatisfactory or that they have issues that they don't like about themselves, the reason is because it/he has been given 'faulty' data to work with. This faulty data is equated to traumatic experiences that the adult does not remember but nevertheless are influencing how he thinks and behaves. Thus the individual is 'running' upon a distortion of what is true: the being which processes all decision perfectly because it does not have distorted perceptions based off of faulty data.
The initial purpose of scientology is to remove such faulty data from the individual. Once this has occurred, then no inhibitive emotions or reactions occur, and the individual is free to be his true self, which is the fulfillment of its natural potential
This then lends itself to the second purpose:
When the individual is freed from such distortions, the individual can be said to be existing or being exactly how the universe intends: concordant with the universe's design. Thus the second purpose is for the individual to 'put ethics' upon the universe to bring about a better and more effective humanity.
Do you see anything wrong with this ideal?
I am in no way like a Scientologist. For your information, this recording 'fact' was born of Psychology not Scientology. It may have been embraced, adopted, by Scientology but it was coined by a psychologist. Scientologies creator L Ron Hubbard, through their use of his book, Dianetics, was initially a fiction book author and was in no way associated with academics in psychology.
I don't buy into ANYONES BS. As I already stated: I am not a leader and I'll be damned if I'll be a follower. I believe in absolutely NO organized religion, cult, etc. The only thing I buy into is education and even that I take with a grain of salt. If it doesn't fit with all the other puzzle pieces that I believe I've managed to put into place, it gets pitched into the BS pile of garbage, I don't care who said it! A GOD could say it, and if it was contrary to what I know, I would tell it to go and fock itself! Because what I know is balanced, considering everything and everyone. And only a true creator would understand this. There would be no contradiction to that which exists, or it wouldn't exist!
P.S. L Ron Hubbard credits Sigmund Freud for some of his books contents. here's a quote from Wikipedia:
"Some of the psychometric ideas in Dianetics can be traced to Sigmund Freud, whom Hubbard credited as an inspiration and was said to have used as a source. Freud had speculated 40 years previously that traumas with similar content join together in "chains," embedded in the unconscious mind, to cause irrational responses in the individual. Such a chain would be relieved by inducing the patient to remember the earliest trauma, "with an accompanying expression of emotion."
But where I got my information from was the book I'm OK, You're OK, which also borrows from Freud.
