Here is an excerpt from the intro of your book recommendation:
"Kinesiology is now a well-established science, based on the testing of an all-or-nonemuscle response stimulus. A positive stimulus provokes a strongmuscle response; a negative stimulus results in a demonstrableweakening of the testmus-cle. Clinical kinesiologicalmuscle testing as a diagnostic technique has found widespread verification over the last 25 years. Dr. George Goodheart’s original research on the subject was given wider application by Dr. John Diamond. Diamond determined that this positive or negative response occurs with stimuli both physical and mental, and his books brought the subject to the general public.
The research reflected in this volume has taken Diamond’s technique several steps further, through the discovery that this kinesiologic response reflects the human organism’s capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but also anabolic (life-threatening) from catabolic (life-consuming), and, most dramatically, truth from falsity.
The test itself is simple, rapid, and relatively foolproof: A positive muscle reaction occurs in response to a statement that is obviously true; a negative response occurs if the test subject is presented with a false statement. This phenomenon occurs independently of the test subject’s own opinion or knowledge of the topic, and the response has proven cross-culturally valid in any population and consistent over time. This technique provides, for the first time in human history, an objective basis for distinguishing truth from falsehood, which is totally verifiable across time with randomly selected, naïve test subjects.
Moreover, we found that this testable phenomenon can be used to calibrate human levels of consciousness so that an arbitrary logarithmic scale of whole numbers emerges, stratifying the relative power of levels of consciousness in all areas of human experience. Exhaustive investigation has resulted in a calibrated scale of consciousness, in which the log of whole numbers from 1 to 1,000 calibrates the degree of power of all possible levels of human awareness.
The millions of calibrations that confirmed this discovery further disclosed a stratification of levels of power in human affairs, revealing a remarkable distinction between power and force and their respective qualities. This, in turn, led to a comprehensive reinterpretation of human behavior in order to identify the invisible energy fields that control it. The calibrated scale was found to coincide with sublevels of the hierarchy of the perennial philosophy; correlations with emotional and intellectual phenomena in sociology, clinical psychology, and traditional spirituality immediately suggested themselves.
The calibrated scale has been examined here in light of current discoveries in advanced theoretical physics and the nonlinear dynamics of chaos theory . Calibrated levels, we suggest, represent powerful attractor fields within the domain of consciousness itself, that dominate human existence and therefore define content, meaning, and value, and serve as organizing energies for widespread patterns of human behavior.
This stratification of attractor fields, according to corresponding levels of consciousness, provides a new paradigm for recontextualizing the human experience throughout all time. In practical terms, by accessing data to which there has heretofore been no avenue of approach, our method promises both great value in researching history and enormous possible benefit for mankind’s future. In attempting to emphasize the value of this technique as a research tool, examples have been given of its potential uses in a wide range of human activities: speculatively, in art, history, commerce, politics, medicine, sociology, and the natural sciences; pragmatically, in marketing, advertising, research and development; and empirically, in psychological, philosophic, and religious inquiry. Specific applications have been suggested in such diverse fields as criminology, intelligence, addictionology, and self-improvement."
How anyone can believe this is beyond my comprehension.
Of course in the foreword to the intro we get the classical super-hero story of the troubled young man experiencing enlightenment.
