I really am looking for a deep peace in my life and was curious if anyone has had experience with this (religion).

Don't go for Scientology. It is a cult designed to separate you from your money. They have been criminally convicted in Canada and Germany is considering outright banning them.
What I counsel you to do is stay away from religion until you have figured things out for yourself. Then you can do whatever you want.
Begin your quest at the library. Learn some basic philosophy and study... study!

He is skilled (http://www.paulsrobot.com/)
Scientology Philosophy is still very young and as such has a long way to go. "The Church" that is in power right now is nothing more then a glorified religious cult, stay away from them, they will drain you of all your money and separate you from your family (or at least try). There is an overwhelming amount of useless information that still needs to be separated from the Philosophy, and even what does work still needs to be refined (there are those who are outside of the Cult who still think the Philosophy is valid). Some of the philosophy has the potential to bring you peace and happiness but not in any permanent sense. If you are looking for a religion to join I'd suggest (maybe) Buddhisms or Wicca, I try and stay away from any group or organization with a philosophical structure that promotes dogma (this includes many FreeZone groups). Beware of ANYONE who claims to have the answer to all your problems, it's just wishful (and in some cases dangerous) thinking.

"Skilled on scientology"? You've got to be kidding.
Do yourself a big favor and do all the research you can into the Church of Scientology. They're philosophy is intellectually and morally bankrupt ... as are all religions.
Please believe me that I mean no disrespect to YOUR search for peace. That's perfectly reasonable. But Scientologists are out to exploit your desires and charge you $$$ for what amounts to a paranoid science fiction fantasy.
But don't take my word for it. Wikipedia has an excellent article on Scientology. If you still want more information, visit your local library.
If you want to find peace in your life, try doing something for your fellow human being. Give blood, volunteer at a soup kitchen or a Red Cross shelter.
I guarantee you'll have a much more rewarding and fulfilling experience. Good luck!

Not a religion but a controlling money obsessed cult based on poor science and recently invented by a third class science fiction writer Ron L Hubbard. "Star Wars" is a better spiritual guide than his stuff. Many EU governments are unhappy about these people - leave well alone I'd say..

Look into the roots of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard was a high level member of the O.T.O. cult when it was ran by Aleister Crowley, he was also a science fiction writer. L. Ron Hubbard combined Crowley occultism, with science fiction, declared himself god, and voila scientology was born, and Hubbard got dirty filthy stinking rich off of it.
Find deep peace within yourself, no fake religions are going to give it to you.

Don't even go there.... They are one of the worst cults on earth now. I have had friends who had to move due to their cult-like control. They use mind control methods and are a sudo-religion babble group. There are so many web sites of those who got in deep and could harldy get out & some were killed by drugs because they wanted to get out.
Devils workshop!!!!
Peace is within YOU. God's small still voice is within YOU. Your best religion is within YOU!!!

Maybe Tom Cruise will answer you. This is not a religion sweetie. Try meditation. It is through calming down the senses that one can enjoy deep peace.

Why do you assume that peace resides with a religion?

Scientology should not be classified as a religion.

You won't find peace in "religion". You will find it when you surrender to God. True peace comes ONLY from Him. He sent His only son to earth to die for all of our sins. So when we sincerely ask Him to to forgive us, and try not to commit sin on purpose again and with God's help change for the better, He will help us. Just pray to Him and say: Dear God, I believe in you.
I also believe that you sent your only Son, Jesus and that He died for my sins.
I am sorry for everything I have done against you. Forgive my sins
I turn away from my sins now.
Please give me the Strength by your Holy Spirit to overcome sin and temptations.
Please fill me with your Holy Spirit as I start my New Life, walking in you my Lord and now Savior!
Amen
