to become a member of Scientology, you need to pass an audit process, and this is done through a device called e-meter , a kind of lie detector that Scientologists believe him to "see the thoughts." But exactly what kind of device is this?
Officially called " electroencephaloneuromentimographómetro " and it really does is to measure galvanic skin response of a person. And although this sounds almost space science, which means in common terms is that the e-meter induces an electric current in the believer's body and returns the device to measure changes in electrical resistance of the human body.
So what is it useful? Well, members of Scientology say that e-meter is a device that measures the " static fields" that surround the human body. Basically, for these Scientologists are supposed to tell the auditor if the person being measured with such a device has already " released from his spiritual impediments past experiences," or in more common terms, "if you're ready to enter Scientology. "
How do I use? During the process the auditor submits the candidate, the person making the hands two metal cylinders, which are connected to the e-meter, and is asked a series of questions. When a response, the auditor noted the activity the measuring device (the movement of a needle as the analog multimeters), which has had significantly only in the world of Scientology. The auditor reads and interprets the results to you. " Think of a lie detector test, but it wrapped in an aura of mystery and science. Or a sort of tarot cards high tech.
Hubbard and his followers developed the e-meter to assist in this process called auditing. Are ordered copious amounts of money for the e-meter and the sessions using this device. Scientologists repeatedly and explicitly say that these processes of audit candidates Dianetics and Scientology, natural cures are made and even mental character. It should be noted that this process almost guarantees the cure of any disease. Of course this is absurd.
E-meter is treated as a religious artifact, by Scientologists, but the reality is it's a money machine . Testing with the e-meter, are terribly expensive and are used to answer many of the problems of those who practice Scientology. As this device can only be used by "trained professionals ," then the most dedicated Scientologists are the ones who can access this type of process.
But what does an e-meter inside? Clearly, the curiosity about what circuitry have this device has been enough to get one of these e-meter, disassemble and analyze. However, things are not as easy as an e-meter art costs $ 3850. Eventually someone got one and it literally ripped to satisfy curiosity. Details on this page .
Strictly e-meter has an analog and digital part. The analog meter is a simple skin resistance in who is holding the metal cylinders. Because of this, changes are easily noticeable. However, the system has a digital part, which includes a microprocessor 8051. What could serve this? Apparently it is too usr electronic engineering, but perhaps has its rationale. The e-meter, which is thinner version called Mark Super VII does more than measure the electrical resistance. You can connect to an e-meter " teacher, so the supervisor can monitor the actions of an auditor who is using the device with a candidate. The system can then transmit all the measurement information to the drive "master " many times per second. So then, the digital seems to be entirely justified.
should be noted that the FDA in the U.S. the Food & Drug Administration raided the January 4, 1963, at the Church of Scientology of Washington. Were confiscated books and e-meters. The FDA required that the units of e-meters they had a label that said it the device was ineffective in the diagnosis of diseases or treatments of the same . Scientologists lost the trial, but have failed, to date, with the legal system.
One part of the judicial system against the "Hubbard electrometer " et al., Is said to prohibit the Church of Scientology and its related organizations, saying that it can be cured using the e-meter: " This device must have a visible place a note to warn anyone who uses it that is forbidden by law to indicate that no scientific or medical basis for believing that the device can be useful to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease. Note that this warning about this device condemns use with medical or scientific purposes to improve the health or bodily functions of anyone .
However, the plate from the e-meter says:
" By itself, this device does nothing. Its utility is to guide the ministers of the church [of Scientology] in its pastoral care and advice. The electrometer is capable of improving health care or no scientific way and their use is religious, intended for students and ministers of the Church of Scientology .
As you can see, everything sounds like fraud, in which case so that it can perform, Scientologists use a device supposedly "high tech" with almost magical powers, being able to cure diseases, both physical and mental. I do not know why, but this reminds me more and more fraud Xango.
