Clarity Meter

Hank Levin was introduced to $cn in 1967, at the New York center run by Gene & Arlyn Hobel. He went “up the grades” to endless OT III. His ex-wife took the “training route” up to Class IV, and Hank studied and absorbed all her materials, though at that time he did not foresee professional involvement. He started the Artistic Development Foundation (hiring “qualified” teaching personnel for the purpose) to provide services to artists, musicians and performers in New York City, which was stopped by Yvonne Jentsch who felt that it conflicted with her new Celebrity Center. He later left the C of $ when he found that the D of P at Flag had lied about a tech estimate in order to get funds they had discovered he possessed. Petitioning up the lines for redress, he discovered the closer he got to the top (finally ending with Heiber Jentsch), the more the leadership resembled run-of-the-mill New York mafia, and he left in 1980.

Hank’s actual professional training was acquired independently under the training and mentorship of Thea Greenberg, who with her husband Lloyd ran a successful center in Altadena, CA. He began offering services professionally over twenty-five years ago in Northern California, where he lived. He also accepted the editorship of the Free Spirit Journal from its founder, Mark Jones. During the thirteen years that Hank edited the magazine, it grew from being a newsletter for disaffected scientologists into a popular magazine on alternative therapies of all kinds, but with a particular emphasis on Clearing with the biomonitor. Hank published articles on Clearing from practitioners and writers of all persuasions, including Alan Walter, Bill Nichols, Michael Goldstein, Flemming Funch, Bob Ross, and many others. When Hank turned The Free Spirit Journal over to Alan Walter about ten years ago, it was being distributed by two national distributors and was available in bookstores and news stands all over the country. Through it, innumerable new people became interested in Clearing—totally independent of the C of $!

Hank and his wife, Norma (who was the graphic design and layout editor) decided to turn the magazine over to Alan Walter in order to focus on Hank’s own writing projects, as well as meter design and production. Sadly, Alan chose to let The Free Spirit Journal die after only one or two issues.

Hank designed the first Clarity Meter in 1997, in order to provide independent Clearing practitioners with a highly sensitive and robust instrument at a reasonable price. In 2004, realizing that new metering students had a lot of trouble keeping the needle on the dial (especially at high sensitivity), he brought out the Clarity AutoReset Meter. Late last year the Virtual Clarity Meter—a computer-based biomonitor—was introduced. Available at only a fraction of the price of the hardware meters, this innovation also makes it possible to run sessions over the internet, eliminating the necessity for the client to travel great distances for sessions.

In this weekend’s presentation, Hank demonstrates the latest innovations that will make it easier for Clearing practitioners to share their services with greater numbers of clients than ever before.
