Here&#8217;s what he says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. Over the past seven years, Dror&#8217;s income has grown 86%. What do you attribute this to<\/strong>?<br>Dani: Working zealously with Hubbard&#8217;s Tech in the most precise way, strictly applying &#8216;Standard Tech&#8217;. At the same time, we always maintain high ARC with the public, showing people we really care, and that we work for them, not for the money and not for any other vested interest. We deliver the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/scnil.org\/english\/hubbard-tech\/the-route-to-spiritual-freedom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Route to Spiritual Freedom<\/a>, so most people continue to go up the Bridge and remain loyal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. Are you getting new public in? How?<\/strong><br>Yes, of course. These stats reflect the constant inflow of new people receiving services. We have a lot of young people arriving. It is mostly based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/life-pwr.com\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifePower books<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/life-pwr.com\/courses-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">courses<\/a>. We have created a strong relationship with Don Schaul of Clearing Center in Tel Aviv. Their activity is also based on the LP books and courses. Don is actively marketing online, and many of his followers end up doing courses in Tel Aviv or at Dror Center, Haifa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. You mentioned LifePower; what impact does that have on Dror&#8217;s expansion?<\/strong><br>We realized long ago that we must have a fresh approach to reaching the broad public. We cannot promote the &#8216;good old&#8217; Dianetics book; nor can we sit idly and wait for those who have somehow heard of Hubbard&#8217;s Philosophy and are looking for a new home. As you can see, we rarely use the name &#8216;Scientology&#8217; anymore. We have embarked on a vast campaign of writing books, preparing new courses, creating websites, and traveling around Europe and lecturing. These books are having an impact beyond our wildest expectations. We sell thousands of books annually, and book readers are coming to LifePower centers to do courses and receive processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. You&#8217;ve been practicing Hubbard&#8217;s philosophy for over 40 years. What is driving you?<\/strong><br>This lifetime, Tami and I started studying and working with Hubbard&#8217;s Tech in 1980. We&#8217;ve been at it relentlessly ever since. When I had my first wins and cognitions on the Communication Course, I made a commitment \u2013 just to myself \u2013 that I shall dedicate my life to the complete study and advancement of Hubbard&#8217;s unique and brilliant Applied Spiritual Philosophy. Today, I am overjoyed at having made that decision and am absolutely proud of our achievements. <strong>We truly are the ones who are Keeping the Technology Working.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends,Moti Weizman, Dror Center&#8217;s Finance Manager, has just put together some comparative numbers.
