A book which not only explains how the e-meter objectively functions but also how and importantly why it is used and viewed with such great importance within Scientology. Additionally it will also show you why the name Scientology is so appropriate and why it was so popular in the post war period. In essence the first part of this books is of Scientology metaphysics however it is thoroughly enmeshed and intertwined with physics (which to its credit takes great effort to explain with clear language, diagrams and analogies). In doing this it provides for what is a completely empirical form of religious belief - a scientific religion that can speak the "spiritual but not religious" demographic and harmonise the conflict between their spiritual and materialist sentiments.
Also a quote from the About the Author section:
"His fiction served to subsidize his more profound efforts in the humanities and his original
researches into the mind and life. His objective, in these areas was, as he put it, "to find from nuclear physics and a knowledge of the physical universe, things entirely lacking in Asian philosophy”.
Paramount in his successes along this line was demonstrable proof (much to the dismay of
the materialists) that the human soul did indeed exist as a timeless and immortal entity and could exist separate from the body.
Oriental wisdom, having stagnated from centuries of idol worship, was bent to the
exactitudes of Hubbard's Occidental scientific background. Fired by his dynamism and rare genius,
there resulted the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology, which bring the technology for achieving the ancient dreams of liberation for the spirit and accord amongst men. It is out of this application of Western scientific thinking to the "mysteries" of the East that Hubbard developed the first E-meter in 1951 ."
