Hubbard started out as a con man in it for the money.
Hubbard said- -'I'd like to start a religion, That's where the money
is"
http://www.lermanet.com/cos/lerma.html

However, I believe he ended up fooling people so well, that he started
to believe that " there must be SOMETHING there" after a while,
surrounded by converts, telling him how grand he was.

The most compelling evidence is research indicating that electricity
in small doses will cause physiological changes in cell structure and
response - the endorphin effect.

I don't think Hubbard knew this, I dont think anyone did at the time
of Volney Matheson (first E-meter).. though I am certain that he knew
the techniques of Priest John Wesley who decided that electricity
would be a way to relieve the suffering of the poor, inexpensively.
And I know he read Pavlov and knew that low level electricity through
the front paws of a dog, could make the dog salivate in anticipation
of a reward...

The historical precendent of the use of electricity to relieve pain
traces to 153 AD - the use of a "black electric torpedo fish" to shock
a man with gout, and it reportedly provided some relief.

"Scribonius Largus wrote in 153AD: "For any type of gout a live black
torpedo should, when the pain begins, be placed under the feet. The
patient must stand on a moist shore washed by the sea (note
precautions to keep the torpedo alive) and he should stay like this
until his whole foot and leg up to the knee is numb. This takes away
present pain and prevents pain from coming on if it has not already
arisen. In this way Anteros, a freedman of Tiberius, was cured.
(Scribonius CLXII in Schechter 1971)."

Meanwhile, Hubbard devised an elaborate and complicated ruse based
upon a mishmash of unattributed prior art and covert hypnosis which he
called Scientology and was able to convince people to hold onto his
innocent soup can electrodes for 2 and 1/2 hours at a sitting, while
suspecting nothing.

When the FDA brought an action against Scientology in the late 1960's
for their use of the E-meter as a device, Hubbard invoked Religious
Cloaking! http://www.lermanet.com/LRonHubbard2.htm

Now that was clever!
