One of the 'tools of the trade' of an Auditor (practitioner) is what is known as an e-meter. This device is quite harmless and enables the auditor to guide the attention of the PreClear to the area or activity being looked at as the PreClear is usually unaware of the source of the difficulty.

The original working philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard has been compared to a bridge from current existing conditions to more aware and better states for man. A road out of the travail and pain we are often surrounded by.

Hubbard’s academic degrees have come under question since Sequoia University was discovered to be an unrecognized diploma mill located in a two-story house in Los Angeles. It was closed down in 1958 by an act of the California Legislature.

It is true that he attended George Washington University for two years. He was placed on academic probation, as he said, for “some very poor grade sheets.” Although there are times he calls himself a “nuclear physicist,” he failed his only class on molecular and atomic physics. He also spent three months in a military course at the Princeton School of Military Government. Nothing has yet surfaced to confirm his alleged degree from
Columbian College.

a good reference for learning about different religions/cults in Walter Martin's Kingdom of the Cults.

Scientology in my opinion is a cult.
