Summary: Thought Provoking Ideas On Consciousness & Kinesiology
Comment: This is a very thought-provoking book, as it explores the use of applied kinesiological methods to measure levels of truth and consciousness. The author has seemingly discovered a continuum in which consciousness becomes either increasingly expansive and inclusive or increasingly destructive to life at descending levels. He describes a methodical approach to using kinesiology to test for the level of consciousness of a person, book, concept, or group, as well as to test for the truth or falsehood of precise statements. He also describes factors that can invalidate a muscle test, which make it apparent that it is easy to yield invalid and unreliable results. In fact, the author indicates that persons with a consciousness below a certain threshold can't get reliable results. Hawkins' research has shown most of humanity to function below the threshold necessary for "power" rather than "force" to be expressed. This is just one significant problem in applying the author's model. Another is the reality that most people fluctuate in their consciousness from one moment to another. Hawkins' use of kinesiology to examine political figures and historical persons and issues has also yielded some suspect results. I think it would have been more useful if he had used the method to rate individuals that neither the tester or subject (or the general public) had ever heard of, such as a common killer or an unheralded charity volunteer. Despite the flaws in methodology and some overly simplistic conclusions drawn by the author, this is a very readable and insightful book. It provides a wonderful perspective about the nature of consciousness and holism, encouraging readers to explore the topic further and to practice the muscle testing methods in one's own life. Hawkins has done some important research, though it is important that those reading about and applying his methods recognize some of the potential pitfalls in the methods and conclusions. Hawkins displays much enthusiasm for his ideas and methods, which leads him to overlook or minimize some areas that may need to be refined or clarified.

Summary: Consciousness confirmed with muscle testing
Comment: The discipline known as behavioral kinesiology/muscle testing deals with the theory that muscles react differently to positive and negative stimuli. Muscle testing is the bridge between two worlds- the physical one and the world of spirit, the part of all of us that is in touch with "the vast intelligence of the universe." The future is subject to change and under most circumstances cannot be tested. Everything else can be tested for truth.

Summary: One of the 10 most important books you will ever read
Comment: Did you ever have the feeling that most of our culture is pure BS. Well, there is now a way to prove it, and David Hawkins is showing us how.
It is interesting to read the negative reviews of this book and test for the level of the author. They only confirm exactly what David Hawkins communicates so well. Only 20% of the population can use kinesiology for testing, and if you are not at that level you just won't get it without serious desire and effort on your part.
This book is not for everyone. If you are at the level necessary to benefit from this knowledge, it will be tremendously validating and quite uplifting. If not, it will be quite devastating to the ego and it will fight tooth and nail to invalidate the message. As Hawkins says in his third book, the ego will filter from perception all things that do not fit its reality.
I taught my teenagers to use this technique. They took to it like ducks to water. It not only helps them with the BS of peer and cultural pressure, but cuts down on arguments by my saying well, lets just test it.
