Hank Levin Descrives the Clarity E-meter

Innovations and breakthroughs in meter technology, especially the Clarity Meter and virtual metering for remote auditing/clearing.

1. Background of Hank Levin

Introduced to Scientology in 1967 in New York.

Went up the Grades to OT III.

Worked with various independent auditors and mentors, especially Tia Greenberg in California.

Left the official Church around 1980, disillusioned with corruption and internal lies.

Became editor of the Free Spirit Journal for 13 years, transforming it from a newsletter for ex-Scientologists into a magazine on alternative clearing and therapeutic modalities.

2. Development of the Clarity Meter

Hank began producing his own meters due to:

Fragility and lack of features in existing independent meters (Barclay, Penberthy).

Lack of interest from those manufacturers in improving sensitivity or adding TA counters.

Need for high-sensitivity devices suitable for training and professional use.

Original Clarity Meter (1997)

Analog “classic” model.

Very sensitive, robust.

Preferred by purists.

Required skill to keep the needle on the dial (“needle on the mark”).

3. Auto-Reset Clarity Meter (2004)

Created to solve students’ biggest difficulty: keeping the needle on the dial without losing session control.

Key innovations:

Auto-reset tone arm that recenters the needle automatically.

Dual TA display (“previous range window”) showing both current TA and the TA it came from.

Created to allow new auditors to focus on the PC, not the device.

4. The Virtual Clarity Meter

A computer-based biomonitor, released in early 2004–2005:

Costs much less than hardware meters.

Runs on Windows (XP/Vista/7) but also on Mac using VM Fusion/Windows emulation.

Can record the session, including:

TA changes

Meter reads

Audio

Uses advanced graphics/game-engine technology to create smooth analog-style needle movement.

Includes graphing options (can be disabled) and analog TA pointer for readability.

Extremely high sensitivity, similar to earlier Alphametrics meters.

5. Internet-Based Sessions (Meter over IP)

A major breakthrough: MOIP — Meter Over Internet Protocol.

Advantages:

Clients do not need to travel for auditing.

Sessions can be ended naturally after wins, without worrying about the PC’s travel costs.

Wider reach for practitioners (international).

Allows trainers to supervise sessions remotely using recorded sessions + recorded meter data.

Supports distance learning and webinars.

Technical breakthroughs included collaboration with:

David St. Lawrence

A Turkish engineer
They discovered a working protocol that makes real-time meter transmission possible.

6. Psychology Interest

Unexpectedly, psychologists and energy-psychology practitioners became interested in the “biomonitor” concept.

Notable points:

Psychologists often seek objective measures of progress beyond subjective scales (e.g., “rate your emotion 1–10”).

They do not want Scientology tech, but they do want tools that measure reactivity.

Some respected figures (e.g., Fred Gallo) expressed interest, with hopes to present the virtual meter at professional conferences.

However, psychologists often lack:

TRs

session control

understanding of reads

proper procedure

Hank tries to guide them without invalidating their own frameworks.

7. Vision and Future Projects

Hank proposes expanding the use of metering into:

PTSD handling (similar to TIR)

Healthcare fields

Mental wellness professions

Internet-based training

Public YouTube tutorials (“10-minute” practical videos using a meter)

He emphasizes the need for:

Staff

Organization

Funding
To accelerate development and dissemination.

8. Demonstration Section

Hank demonstrates:

Adjusting the virtual meter screen.

Automatic vs manual TA adjustment.

Sensitivity adjustments.

Hiding/showing graph modules.

How it behaves under good bandwidth.

He finishes with a humorous live reading demonstration.

Overall Essence

The document is:

A history of the Clarity Meter.
A technical explanation of how and why each model was developed.
A promotion of the virtual meter and internet-based auditing.
A strategic roadmap for bringing clearing technology into broader therapeutic use.
A call for support, funding, and cooperation.
