A psychiatrist has discovered an amazing method of revealing truth or falsehood - by simple muscle testing.
Dr David Hawkins believes that his method, known as ‘kinesiology’ forms a bridge between the everyday world of the ego and the unseen universal world of the spirit.
Kinesiology ‘is the generic response of the acupuncture energy system,’ according to Hawkins. It follows traditional Chinese medicine’s belief in invisible channels of Chi energy flowing throughout our bodies. The results of his tests, such as the one in the panel below, reveal answers that ‘have nothing to do with the person being tested. We are tapping into a universal awareness and can test anything that ever existed, anywhere in time and space.’ The closest analogy is an electric switch: ‘It is not a matter of right or wrong. There is power if there is truth. If there is falsehood there is no power.’ This effectively allows the evolution of human consciousness to be mapped, says Hawkins. After thousands of tests Hawkins has devised an intricate grading system. At the low end of the spectrum Shame registers at 20; Guilt 30; and at the top end Peace registers 600, with saints calibrated at 1,000. Many people fall below 200, the benchmark level for honesty and integrity. But some animals, such as gorillas and domestic pets, get much higher consciousness ratings.
Next week, I’ll look at the practical applications of this truth test. Dr David Hawkins is the author of Power vs Force The Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour (Hay House, £9.99)
In muscle testing, a person is asked to resist a force exerted on their outstretched arm while they hold a statement in mind. Dr Hawkins says that if the statement is true, then the arm locks and resists the force. If the statement is not true, then the arm goes weak and is easily pushed down. It is not dependent on the person being tested knows if the statement is true or not.
Try the test with a partner:
1. The subject should stand with their right hand relaxed by their side. The left arm should be outstretched, firm and parallel to the floor.
2. The tester then tests the subject’s resistance strength by pressing down on the raised arm.
3. Tester then makes a deliberately false statement, which the subject holds in their mind. Then the tester presses the outstretched arm, which will go weak.
4. Next, test it with a true statement and see if the arm stays strong.
In Korea, people regularly use muscle tests to help choose the freshest produce. A woman might hold an orange in her left hand and extend her right arm while her husband presses down on her right wrist. If she can resist they'll buy the orange, but if her arm goes weak, they won't.
