Gregor Gáll’s spiritual awareness is reflected in his art. Watch his video on
Scientology.org, one in a series of over 200 “Meet a Scientologist” videos in
which Scientologists talk about the application of Scientology to their lives.
In a video featured on the new Scientology Video Channel at

12 governments.
Gáll has applied Scientology with his family as well.
“My wife and I use Scientology principles in raising our five children,” says
Gáll. “All of them are special in their own right. We encourage them to follow
