E-METER SENSITIVITY AND EM-5RB

The new management of the Church of Scientology has been modifying LRH references about
the basics of auditing since 1972 so that the tech is more and more non-working.
An example for this is the handling of the e-meter. The Snr C/S from the Berlin Org A.Z. was on
his class VI course when the new pro-metering GAT course was published at the end of the 90s
and he had to repeat it. He spent 9 months on the course! The Cl. 9 Caspar de Rijk reported
that the Snr C/S AOSH EU in Copenhagen still had insecurities with his meter handling even af-
ter the RTC pass regarding instant-reads: She had to watch session videos several times to de-
cide whether or not an auditor had judged an instant-read correctly or not. The auditor does not
have this option during sessions. Thus, it is of course pure nonsense to judge an instant read by
hundreds of seconds.
Furthermore, RTC ascertained with the e-meter-exercise 5RB that the sensitivity is often set
wrongly. The fact that something is wrong about this revision of the original e-meter-exercise 5
can be recognized immediately because the original EM-5 has nothing to do with sensitivity. It
was also about can squeesing but rather to find out which Havingness process is best suited for
the PC! 1
The change was introduced with the HCOB February 7, 1979. Last revised 1988 with a lie in
the end that this exercise has been developed by LRH in December 1963. In December 1963,
Ron had developed the original EM-5 in order to find the Havingness process. This drill simply
got lost during the revision.
Us Free Scientologists rehabilitate the original EM-5 and all other subsequent versions are can-
celled. Instead, for the training of the sensitivity setting, we use an original, unrevised HCOB
March 18, 1974 E-METER – ERRORS IN SENSITIVITY. This reference, of course, has also
been messed up as I have presented in FSB 30.12.14 VOM GEGNER SICHERGESTELLT: UNSERE
PROBLEME MIT DER E-METER-EMPFINDLICHKEIT (will be translated).

Quote from "The Book of E-Meter Drills", New Edition 1968, EM-5: “Purpose: To train a student audi-
tor how to get an accurate can squeeze which correctly indicates the preclear’s current state of Havingness and
state of case." The sensitivity-setting was not cancelled with the EM-5 in the past!
E-Meter Sensitivity and EM-5RB page 2 of 2 FSB 31. 8. 2006

Therefore – and also according to former references2 – the sensitivity is simply adjusted during a
session like this: the auditor sets it higher when he notices that he would otherwise overlook
signs and he sets it lower if he is too busy keeping the needle on the scale. You just have to find
the happy medium.
Experience shows, however, that the sensitivity is different from PC to PC but it stays the same
in one PC for months3. Thus, there is no necessity to recheck the sensitivity at the beginning of
each session.
Of course there are situations within a session where you want to set the sensitivity higher so to
not miss a read: rudiments, assessments, etc. – There are a lot of LRH references 4 that indicate
to do this.
If you are interested in more details about this topic, you are welcome to read my extensive
study5 in which all LRH references about sensitivity are cited.
