E-METER: (From English Electrometer): see E-METER.
E-METER “AZIMUTH”: in 1965, the E-meter for listing - “Azimuth” was developed. This E-meter was designed in such a way that auditors could read the list through a glass scale and at the same time see the needle. Cm. Also listing And nulling in this glossary. (E-meter Essentials)
E-METER: ( short for electrometer) an electronic device for measuring a person's mental state or changes in condition. This is not a lie detector. It does not diagnose or treat anything. It is used by auditors to help the preclear detect areas of mental anguish and suffering. (Professional technical specifications)
E-METER: 1. Short for electropsychometer, a specially designed instrument that helps the auditor and preclear detect areas of mental anguish and suffering. 2. This is a device with a religious purpose that can only be used by Scientology ministers or those in training to become a priest. It does not diagnose or treat anything. It measures the mental state or change in condition of a person, and because of this it is extremely useful to the auditor in helping the preclear discover areas that need to be worked on. 3. Short for "electrometer": an electronic device for measuring the mental state or changes in the state of homo sapiens. This is not a lie detector. It does not diagnose or treat anything. It is used by auditors to help the preclear discover areas of mental anguish and suffering. Cm. Also preclear in this glossary. – It turns out that this student was never taught to read the TA scale on the E-meter!(Staff II status)
E-METER FOR MAKING LISTS: A fairly cheap e-meter with a nice design, but at its core it has the capabilities of a good e-meter because it is designed for making lists so you don't miss readings. (СХ Spec 256, 6304С02) (LISTING METER)
UNIT OF AWARENESS:(AWARENESS OF AWARENESS UNIT) 1. Something real that has no mass, no wavelength, no position in space or connection with time, but has the sense of creating or destroying mass or energy, discovering itself (or creating space), and also has the ability to reset time. (Dianetics-55, p. 29) 2. The man himself. 3. The thetan is unit of awareness awareness.
UNIT CONSCIOUS OF AWARENESS: the person himself is not his body or name, not the physical universe, mind or anything else; that which is aware of the fact that it is aware; personality, which is this person. The unit aware of awareness is most familiar to one and all as “I.” (Dianetics-55!)
UNITS OF ATTENTION: the amount of awareness that exists in the mind. For example, when a person pays a lot of attention to an incident, we can say that he has many attention units on that incident. (Method 1) (specifications and lenses)
UNIT ATTENTION (ATTENTION UNIT): 1. Energy flows of short wavelength and a certain frequency, portions of attention that exist in the mind. 2. The quality of awareness that exists in the mind. For example, if a person pays a lot of attention to a certain incident, we can say that this incident connects a lot units of attention.3. A certain amount of awareness in the form of theta energy that exists in the mind of different people in different quantities. (HCOB 11 May 65). 4. In fact, these are energy flows of short wavelength and a certain frequency. They can be measured on specially designed oscilloscopes and instruments. There is no special type of particle here. (Snt 8-80)
UNIT OF AWARENESS OF AWARENESS: 1. a reality without mass, without wavelength, without position in space and without relation to time, but having the quality of creating and destroying mass and energy, determining the location of itself or creating space, and also the quality of re-establishing a relationship to time. (Day 55!, p. 29) 2. the individual himself. (5410CM20) 3. the thetan is the unit of awareness of awareness. (5410C10D) (AWARENESS OF AWARENESS UNIT)
FACSIMILE UNIT: it will be any sequentially connected experience of experience in motion and so on. It can contain as many entries or as many individual pictures as the eye needs to create movement - from 75 to 125 per second. This experiential experience can last for a week. (5112CM29B) (UNIT FACSMILE)
ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE: one of the control mechanisms that was used on thetans: as they increased in potential, they were led to believe that they were one with the universe. This is clearly not true. Thetans are individuals. As they go up the scale, they do not merge with other individuals. (Snt 8-8008, p. 25) (ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE)
UNITY: people had the idea that there was a basic theta body and everyone became "one" when they got to the top of the tone scale. Fortunately, this is not true. But you go down the tone scale and everyone becomes one. And this unity is mest. Mest has no individuality. (FDC 6) (ONENESS)
NATURAL TU: TRs with speech are natural. TRs exist for use in life and in the auditing room. There is no uncomfortable robotic performance or tension in the voice. (TBP 18 Aug 71R) (NATURAL TRs)
EAT: things that are supposed to be here and are or need to be done and done are called “IS”, for example, “We have a schedule made.” (HCOB 21 Sep 70)
IS-NESS (IS– NESS): four states of existence. (FL, p. 214) [definitions of these four states are given here separately in the articles: as-is-ness, change-of-ness, is-ness and non-is-ness]. 1. Is-ness- this is the evidence (appearance) of existence created by ongoing change (i.e., “making different”) as-is-ness. When one agrees with it, it is called reality. (FL, p. 154) 2. Something that has a duration of existence. This is our basic definition of is-ness. (FL, p. 91) 3. Is-ness– this is evidence (appearance), but not reality. (FL, p. 175)
IS-NESS: the appearance of existence, which is caused by the constant distortion of the “as-is”; it is one of the four states of existence. When this state is agreed upon, it is called "reality." (Level 0 lectures)
IS-STATES: Slang. four states of existence. (LF, p. 214) (These four states are listed separately: AS-IS, AS-IS DISTORTION, IS-NESS, NOT-IS-NESS.) (IS-ES, THE)

TYPES OF E-METERS, COMPARISON OF PARAMETERS, CAPABILITIES AND PRICES
1. COMPUTER E-METERS
Computer e-meter “Theta-meter”
Theta meters — compact, modern and reliable e-meters for working via computer and mobile devices via connections: USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
A unique advantage of theta meters is the function of sound accompaniment of the movement of the e-meter needle, which is simply irreplaceable for those who are engaged in solo auditing.
Another unique competitive advantage is the ability to demonstrate instrument readings not through screen sharing on Skype, but through a special server. This relieves traffic and can be useful when your Internet connection is weak.
The reliability of theta meters is guaranteed by high-quality components and the use of modern robotic systems when assembling and soldering devices.
Modern software allows you to select a model to work on absolutely any device:
- via USB cable for computers and laptops with operating systems Windows (XP and higher), Mac OSX, Android (3.0 and higher) and Linux - these e-meters do not require periodic adjustment and do not require batteries;
- through Bluetooth for PC, Apple Mac computer or phone and tablet running Android version 3.0 and higher, as well as Windows 8-10, Apple Mac, phone and tablet running Android version 4.4 and all newer, as well as iPhone 4S and later, iPad3 and more modern - these e-meters are convenient because they do not require wires;
- through Wi-Fi to connect your meter to devices running any operating system that supports Wi-Fi B and G protocols, including devices such as iPad, iPhone or iPod.
All wireless models of theta meters, if necessary, can be connected via a completely standard USB cable.
Now the range of theta meters is represented by 5 models with different characteristics:
WIRELESS

Computer e-meter “i-meter”
iMeters— modern, reliable and convenient e-meters for working via computer and mobile devices.
Its uniqueness is that the e-meter is built into the can itself and can work with any device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone) via Bluetooth wireless connection (if you wish, you can also connect the can via a USB cable).
Wireless connectivity allows you to audit anywhere, anytime, even if there is no electricity “available.”
The distance at which the iMeter stably receives wireless communications is 10-15 meters.
The jar itself is made of aluminum and additionally coated with a layer of tin of 30 microns, which always ensures correct readings and absolute harmlessness, even for children.
The iMeter has a small 600 mAh battery built in, which will allow you to work with it continuously for 15-20 hours. If you audit on average 2 hours a day, one charge of the e-meter will last you a week.
The weight of the iMeter with a built-in battery is only 100-120 grams.
In addition, in addition to the iMeter, you can purchase a second can for a low cost. It connects to the jar in which the iMeter is built in and becomes additional.
The device works with all operating systems (MS Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, as well as Mac OSX 10.7 and higher), as well as with all mobile devices running Android 3.x and higher (but not suitable for iPad, iPhone and iPod).
To get started, just install the software for free.
The price of iMetra is 14,400 rubles.
You can choose one of 3 sizes of jar diameters - 4 cm, 4.5 cm or 5 cm.
*Included with any iMeter is a USB cable and a storage bag.
The cost of an additional can for iMeter is 2,520 rubles.
2. ANALOG E-METERS
Analog e-meters differ from computer ones in that they do not have software installed, which can fail at the most inopportune moment, which may require reinstallation. Using an analog device, you do not have to worry about any malfunctions in the e-meter.
To work with analog devices, you don’t need anything other than the device itself: the banks are included, you don’t need software or additional wires and settings.
Analog e-meter “Stalker-8” (Stalker)
Stalker-8 (Stalker) is an analog e-meter, one of the largest and lightest among analog instruments.
Another advantage of the device is the built-in auto-sensitivity compensator, which automatically changes the sensitivity of the arrow depending on the RT value. Also, the device is equipped with a light indicator for resetting the needle to SET, which allows you to notice it even out of the corner of your eye.
Many auditors respond positively to this e-meter due to the large size of the display and needle.
And they consider these parameters to be the most convenient for auditing, especially when working on-line, when a thin arrow is difficult to see due to loss of image quality.
An undoubted advantage is that the device operates without changing batteries for more than 500 hours!
The cost of the “Stalker-8” e-meter is $270.
The “Stalker-8” e-meter comes complete with 3 jars (paired plus a solo jar) made of thin tin and coated with a layer of pure, food-grade tin.
Analog e-meter "Omega" (Omega)
Omega (Omega)— reliable analog e-meter.
The advantages of this device include:
- the scale of this e-meter is enlarged and clearly visible even when working via Skype;
- the device operates on a set of batteries, which allows you to engage in auditing for more than six months without changing or recharging them, even with daily sessions;
- indicator light for returning the arrow, which attracts attention even if you don’t look at it directly;
- The clock located on the device allows you to control the operating time without being distracted from the process.
You can familiarize yourself with the parameters of this e-meter and compare it with other devices in the table at the bottom of this page.
The cost of the Omega e-meter is $150.

An important part of Scientology auditing is the e-meter. He seduces people with the supposed scientific basis of Scientology. Scientologists are accepted or expelled according to his testimony. He helps Scientologists uncover their deepest secrets and experiences, including those of a sexual and criminal nature. It helps determine the duration, intensity and nature of auditing sessions. It helps to determine the dates and details of their current problems and past lives. - Paulette Cooper
The E-meter is a device invented in the 1940s by a chiropractor named Volney Mathison . It was originally called the Mathison Model B Electropsychometer and was billed as a tool for psychotherapy and chiropractic.* However, the patent application for the first E-meter was made by L. Rona Hubbard (1911-1986), author of Dianetics and founder of Scientology, which credited Hubbard with the invention of the device.* (Paradoxically, Scientology considers psychotherapy great evil ). According to Hubbard's son Ronald: "My father obtained the E-meter license in 1952 from Matheson the same way he did everything - through fraud and coercion."* Hubbard's patent for a modified version of the Mathieson device, which was developed by Scientologists Don Breeding and Joe Wallis, was issued in 1958.*
In the early 1950s, Hubbard discovered that human beings strive for survival and that each of us is a "confused person" ( Carroll 1996 ). Hubbard thought he understood what it was that was "confusing" us. A person "confuses himself with combinations of mental images - pictures in the mind." He claimed that he measured these pictures with an E-meter. He claimed that the device could record the response of the soul at the moment when it temporarily departs from the body. The device sends a small electrical shock through a wire attached to two banks (electrodes) attached to the user and measures the body's resistance to the electrical current. Resistance is measured in ohms and is a function of humidity, temperature, and pressure, each of which can vary independently of the subject and none of which is directly related to any thoughts or feelings of the subject. Basically, an E-meter is just a “stepless range ohmmeter with sensitive settings.”*
On a purely physical level, resistance fluctuates depending on changes in the flow of electrons. Changes in electron flow may be due to changes in the source or changes in the medium through which the current flows. Since the E-meter cans are attached to the arms, some of the changes in resistance that it registers may be due to changes in unconsciously applied pressure (ideomotor effect), although this will not be the main factor in the change in reading.* The changes are most likely due to changes in the humidity or temperature of the hand andflow of ions on the skin surface. "Scientologists acknowledge that people with unusually dry hands may need a skin moisturizer to ensure good contact with the electrodes. One can only guess how many subjects took advantage of this solution to their spiritual problems."*
Chris Schafmeister, then a biophysics student at the University of California, San Francisco, wrote a paper in which he states that the E-meter measures the modulation of electron flow resulting in ionization of the skin surface, with ions passing "through long muscle cells, long axons nerve or through the blood. "* Schafmeister suggested that
The Scientologist studies feedback during auditing and E-meter readings by monitoring a semi-automatic mechanism that operates membrane-bound ion channels, thereby changing the resistance of his body. This is enough to provoke a change in the E-meter readings.
This is biofeedback in the simplest sense of the word.
Martin Hunt , a former Scientologist and auditor, also believes that biofeedback is at work here. According toThomas J. Wheeler , biofeedback, which involves “measuring muscle tension and skin temperature (higher temperatures are associated with relaxation)” is not denied. Such techniques "have been incorporated into many treatment programs."
The electrical changes that the E-meter records may be directly related to changes in thoughts or mental images, but what meaning or significance these changes in electrical resistance have - outside the basic principles of biophysics - is arbitrary and subjective. The significance of the connection between the electrical resistance of the human hand and mental images is taken for granted. Faith in the E-meter's ability to see into the depths of the human soul may be the best proof that Scientology is a religion, for it requires faith contrary to everything that electrical and brain science says.
The E-meter has gone through several generations and the current most advanced model is known as the Super Mark VII. An electrical engineer who examined the E-meter in 1995 "estimated that devices of this type are specially manufactured and sold in low volume and typically cost about $300." Today the device is sold by the Church of Scientology for about $4,000. Scientologists produce about 10,000 E-meters per year at a plant in Hemet, California. It takes about an hour and 20 minutes to produce one device ( Tobin 1998 ). To view the contents of the Mark VII, seeWWW-2.cs.cmu.edu/~DST/Secrets/E-meter/Mark-VII/ . The device is based onWheatstone bridge . It has an Intel 8051 8-bit microprocessor, unnecessary for measuring skin resistance, but necessary for connectivity, allowing third party monitoring.
According to the Church of Scientology, the E-meter is a "pastoral counseling device" that can detect "spiritual distress and even childbirth."* The E-meter is also used as a device for recruiting new members. For example, in the downtown Plaza in Sacramento, California, Scientologists rented a kiosk for $2,000 a month. They offer free “stress tests” to anyone passing by. The stress test consists of analyzing E-meter readings while the Scientologist asks questions such as “What makes you feel stressed?” The Scientologist independently interprets any changes in the electronic meter readings.
Scientologists believe that the E-meter can assess energy levels in the body and detect spiritual trauma through a process called auditing. By identifying trauma, people can neutralize it, they say. After passing through certain stages, they eventually reach the state of so-called clear. Scientologists believe that E-Meter auditing provides a guide to self-discovery.
"When a person has stressful thoughts, those thoughts create real change," says Mike Klagenberg, a spokesman for the church in Sacramento. "The E-meter detects these physical changes." ( Garza 2005)
According to Scientology:
When the E-meter is in operation and a person holds the meter electrodes, a very small flow of electrical energy (about 1.5 volts - less than a flashlight battery) travels along the E-meter wires, through the person's body and back into the E-meter. The electric current is so small that there is no physical sensation.
Mind pictures contain energy and mass. The energies and forces in the pictures of the experience are painful and upsetting to the person, and can have a harmful effect on him. This harmful energy or force is called "charge".
When a person holding the E-Meter electrodes thinks, imagines, relives an episode of his life, or moves a part of the reactive mind, he is moving and changing actual mental mass and energy. These changes in the mind affect the tiny flow of electrical energy produced by the E-meter, causing the meter's needle to move. The E-meter needle tells the auditor where the "charge" is.
These explanations are pure speculation. In physics and neuroscience there is no concept of mass and energy of a mental image. This does not mean that thoughts do not have physical effects. There is a connection, but it is not a miraculous revelation to know that when a person thinks about destructive things, it produces some kind of negative physical effect. The process of the E-meter searching for thoughts or feelings is nothing more than a performance. Interpretation in terms of “engrams, reactive mind” and other pseudo-scientific jargon only adds to the theatrical effect and the process seems more believable than it actually is.
Interestingly, the E-meter comes with a disclaimer:
By itself, this device does nothing. It is intended solely for the guidance of priests of the Church in confession and pastoral counseling. The E-Meter is not medically or scientifically capable of improving health or bodily function and is intended for religious use only by students and ministers of the Church of Scientology. Hubbard, E-Meter and Scientology are trademarks and service marks owned by the Church of Scientology and are used only with permission.
This statement is in response to a 1971 ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which stated: "The E-Meter has not been demonstrated to be useful in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease, or to improve any bodily function." The decision came after nearly a decade of wrangling with the government and concerns "that the devices were accompanied by false claims that they effectively treated about 70 percent of all physical and mental illnesses" ( Janssen 1993 ).
In 1963, FDA officers raided a church in Washington, D.C. and confiscated their E-meters. The FDA sued the Church of Scientology for fraudulent medical claims and called the E-meter a fraudulent healing device. The church, after years of litigation, agreed with the FDA. Specifically, decreeing that the church must abide by the laws regarding the E-meter:
The device must bear an embossed, clearly visible warning that any person using it for auditing or counseling of any kind must notify that there is no medical or scientific basis for believing or asserting that the device will be useful in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any diseases. It should be noted in the warning that the device has been convicted in a United States District Court for misleading trademark marking. According to Food and Drug Laws, use of the device is permitted only for religious purposes and the E-meter is not medically or scientifically capable of improving a person's health or bodily functions.
Each user, purchaser and distributor of E-meters must sign a written statement that he has read such notice and understands its contents and such statements must be retained. United States of America, Libelant, v. An Article or Device... “Hubbard Electrometer” or “Hubbard E-Meter” etc., Founding Church of Scientology et al., Claimants, No. DC 1-63, United States District Court, District of Columbia, July 30, 1971 (333 F. Supp. 357) ( Jacobsen 1996)
However, Scientologists continue to use the E-meter in auditing. The Church tries not to publicly declare that the E-meter has no health benefits. Some Scientologists, such as John Travolta and Priscilla Presley, say they use the E-meter on a regular basis. Any device reading is subjectively interpreted by the user. It is not difficult to understand how people could believe in such a device, especially if they believe that thoughts have mass and energy. For such people, the E-meter may well be useful for self-knowledge. The E-meter can stimulate such people and influence their thoughts and actions, which can lead to active planning for the future. The process can be facilitated by self-hypnosis. Small
In terms of its electronic device, the E-Meter is a conventional galvanometer based on a Wheatstone bridge. Practical application comes down to measuring the electrical conductivity of the body through the skin of the palms of the hands (galvanic skin response). Outwardly, it looks like this: the subject holds in his palms two electrodes made in the form of metal cylinders connected by wires to the device, while he answers questions from a consultant who monitors the readings of the device’s arrow, which records changes in the electrical resistance of the body.
Criticism
Of course, E-Meter readings will depend on a lot of factors. For example, the individual characteristics of the individual’s skin, the individual’s individual muscle tone at a specific point in time, the area of contact of the individual’s palms with the sensors, the presence and quality of the composition of the individual’s skin contaminants, the general health of the individual’s body, ambient temperature, air humidity, air pressure, blood pressure , the congenital “sweating” of the individual, the presence of a hangover syndrome, the presence of withdrawal syndrome, abstinence, and last but not least, the psychological state and brain activity of the individual at the time of answering questions. All these influences are supposedly “easily neutralized by correct adjustment of the device,” which cannot have a scientific basis. Both the measurement methods and the parameters measured in this way are not recognized by official medicine. The device was called "scientifically useless" in a report to the German parliament. The decision of the US District Court (District of Columbia) stated that the E-meter has no practical ability to be used in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease and does not have a general scientific or medical proven ability to improve any body functions.
Scientologists sell the Modell Mark Super VII Quantum E-Meter for 7428 euros, although its production cost is 100 euros.
Story
The E-meter was created in the 1940s by the American inventor and chiropractor Volney G. Mathison and was called the Mathison Model B Electropsychometer - Mathison Electropsychometer model B. Mathison was a psychoanalyst before collaborating with Hubbrd Freudian
Initially, Matheson used ordinary metal kitchen graters as electrodes, on which the patient placed the palms of his hands and pressed his fingers against them in moments of excitement.
Despite the fact that the E-Meter was invented by Volney Matheson, the patent for the E-Meter was subsequently taken over by Ron Hubbard, from the affidavit of Hubbard's son it follows that his father received the patent by blackmailing and intimidating Matheson.
In 1958, Hubbard resumed his auditing practice with the help of a modification of the E-Meter made by two Scientologists, Don Breeding and Joe Wallis. This device was called Hubbard electrometer. Hubbard received a US patent for it (3290589) in December 1966, in the description "Apparatus for measuring and displaying changes in the resistance of the human body." However, there is a US patent (2056778) for the design of the device, and the word "E-METER" is a registered trademark.
The Scientological understanding of the work of the E-Meter is based on the requirements of the E-Meter operator for the individual being tested, in which auditing is essentially the only and main practice, and the E-Meter, as a consequence, is the central device that helps the auditor (operator) in his work.

I am often asked by students studying the e-meter in a solo course or in auditor courses:
“How does the e-meter work anyway? I just can’t understand how...”
And then there are some confusions, each with their own.
To be honest, it was also difficult for me to understand how the e-meter works from the educational materials available to me, and it was only during the process of creating a wireless iMeter that I was finally able to figure it out.
Therefore, I bring to your attention a couple of pictures that, in my opinion, more or less simply, clearly and conceptually describe the model of the e-meter.
The PT (or Tone Knob) is simply the numbers printed on the Tone Knob, such as 2.0 on the Tone Knob (2.0 RT), 3.0 on the Tone Knob (3.0 RT), and so on.
The Tone Knob itself is a variable resistance that changes as it is rotated, and these PT numbers indicate the amount of resistance the Tone Knob receives when turned through a certain angle.
The figure shows how the Tone Handle, like a weight on a scale, compensates for the changing resistance of the preclear.
The exact difference between the resistance of the preclear and the resistance of the Tone Handle is indicated by the needle on the e-meter scale.
If the needle is in SET, then the pc's resistance is exactly equal to the resistance of the Tone Handle.
If the resistance of the PC is slightly greater, then the arrow deviates to the left, if less, then to the right.
This allows you to monitor rapid changes in PC resistance.
As soon as this difference in resistance exceeds the size of the scale, the needle rests on the edge of the scale, and the Tone Knob must be adjusted so that the difference in resistance returns to the scale.
The following figure looks at this from a slightly different angle.
