Unique to the Scientology religion — and revolutionary in the field of spiritual development — is the use by auditors of the electropsychometer, or E-Meter. Auditors use the E-Meter to help isolate areas of spiritual travail or upset that exist below a person's current awareness. Once brought to light, such trouble areas can then be examined by the individual without the subjective influences that attend spiritual counseling practices of other religions.
Mr. Hubbard developed the E-Meter based on the knowledge that the mind contains mental image pictures, actual recordings of past experiences. These pictures contain energy and mass. When a person views one of these mental image pictures, or thinks a thought, the E-Meter registers with precision the changes which occur in this mental mass and energy. The E-Meter does not diagnose or cure anything; it simply measures the state or change of state of an individual and serves as a guide as to what should be addressed in an auditing session.
Dianetics announced the discovery of a previously unknown and harmful part of the mind which contains many recordings of past experiences of loss, pain and unconsciousness in the form of mental image pictures. These exist below a person's level of awareness and collectively accumulate to comprise what is called the Reactive Mind — the source of all unwanted fears, emotions, pains and psychosomatic illnesses. Step-by-step, auditing addresses the Reactive Mind until its previously unknown content is uncovered and its harmful effects over an individual are erased. When such occurs, one has achieved a new state of being that in Scientology is called Clear. One's basic and fundamental personality, his artistry, personal force and individual character, his inherent goodness and decency, are all restored.
