Auditing (Scientology)
Auditing began as an integral part of the Dianetics movement and has since, by the use of the E-Meter, become a core practice in Scientology. Auditing is defined by the Church as "the application of Dianetics or Scientology processes and procedures by a trained auditor. One formal definition of auditing is the action of asking a person a question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer to that question and acknowledging him or her for that answer." Auditing is considered "a technical measure" that, according to the Church, "lifts the burdened individual, the 'preclear', from a level of spiritual distress to a level of insight and inner self-realization." The process is meant to bring the individual to Clear status.
