He began his training and auditing at Dror and continued his auditor training at the Tel Aviv Org and later at the Tampa Org, Florida. In 2000, Dima joined staff at Dror and took on many hats: Academy Supervisor, Purification Rundown C\/S, and Class 5 Auditor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Dror&#8217;s departure from the Church in 2012, Dima continued his training, completing the Graduate 5 Auditor Course and the OT Review Auditor Course. Today, Dima is one of the world\u2019s most experienced auditors. He has brought tens of his preclears to the State of Clear, Dima audits the entire Bridge &#8211; from Life Repair to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/hip-hip-hooray-dima-auditing-on-solo-nots\/\" target=\"_blank\">NED for OT&#8217;s<\/a>. In addition, Dima supervises new auditors at Dror Center and at\u00a0<em>Life<\/em><strong>Power<\/strong>\u00a0Centers abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2021, Dima went to Riga, Latvia to audit and train the staff and public of Riga\u2019s LifePower Center. LifePower Riga was established in 2018 by Kaspars Cveigelis and Gatis Drevins, who are good friends and successful businessmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaspars and Gatis were introduced to Ron Hubbard\u2019s technology at the Mission of Scientology in Riga in 2012. They observed deviations in the Church\u2019s conduct and decided to search for another place to progress on Hubbard&#8217;s Bridge. They soon found Dror Center and in 2016 arrived in Israel for the first time to receive training and auditing. Since then, they have been coming to Dror steadily twice a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/guest-at-dror-kaspars-cveigelis\/\" target=\"_blank\">Please see this link for more on Kaspars.<\/a> <br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/gatis-drevins-talks-to-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">And this one for more on Gatis.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/riga-latvia\/gatis-kaspars-fooling-around.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"22079\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/riga-latvia\/gatis-kaspars-fooling-around.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/gatis-kaspars-fooling-around\/\" class=\"wp-image-22079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/riga-latvia\/gatis-kaspars-fooling-around.jpg 650w, https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/riga-latvia\/gatis-kaspars-fooling-around-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Kaspars on left and Gatis drilling on the Metering Course.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaspars and Gatis decided to help their fellow Latvians go up the Bridge and soon trained as LifePower coaches and auditors.
