What is the E-Meter and how does it work?
E-Meter is a shortened term for electropsychometer. It is the primary tool used in auditing and is a highly sensitive electronic instrument which indicates changes that occur in the mind. As noted above, the mind is made up of mental image pictures which have mass and energy. When a person thinks a thought, looks at one of these pictures or re-experiences some painful memory, he is moving and changing the mental mass and energy of the mind. What makes the E-Meter react is the impingement of these mental image pictures against the body. A person receiving auditing holds two plated cans which are hooked up to the electronic components of the meter. The meter sends a minuscule electrical current (approximately half a volt) through the body, about the same amount of current as in the average battery-powered wristwatch. Changes in the mental masses of the mind affect the tiny flow of electrical energy generated by the E-Meter and this change is registered by movement of a small, sensitive n
