Thus,	to	try	to	‘prove	a	point’	negates	accuracy. Sometimes	married	couples,
also	for	reasons	as	yet	undiscovered,	are	unable	to	use	each	other	as	testsubjects	and	may	have	to	find	a	third	person	to	be	a	test	partner. A	suitable	test	subject	is	a	person	whose	arm	goes	strong	when	a	love
object	or	person	is	held	in	mind,	and	it	goes	weak	if	that	which	is	negative
(fear,	hate,	guilt,	etc.) is	held	in	mind	(e.g.,	Winston	Churchill	makes	one	go
strong	and	bin	Laden	makes	one	go	weak). Occasionally,	a	suitable	test	subject	gives	paradoxical	responses. This	can
usually	be	cleared	by	doing	the	“thymic	thump,”	as	was	discovered	by	Dr.
John	Diamond. (With	a	closed	fist,	thump	three	times	over	the	upper
breastbone,	smile,	and	say	“ha-ha-ha”	with	each	thump	and	mentally	picture
someone	or	something	that	is	loved.) The	imbalance	may	be	the	result	of	recently	having	been	with	negative
people,	listening	to	heavy	metal	rock	music,	watching	violent	television
programs,	playing	violent	video	games,	etc. Negative	music	energy	has	a
deleterious	effect	on	the	energy	system	of	the	body	for	up	to	one-half	hour
after	it	is	turned	off. Television	commercials	or	background	are	also	a
common	source	of	negative	energy. As	previously	noted,	the	muscle-testing	method	of	discerning	truth	from
falsehood	and	the	calibrated	levels	of	truth	has	strict	requirements. Because	of
the	limitations,	calibrated	levels	are	supplied	for	ready	reference	in	prior
books,	and	extensively	in	
Truth	vs.	Falsehood
. Explanation
The	muscle-testing	technique	is	independent	of	personal	opinion	or	beliefs
and	is	an	impersonal	response	of	the	field	of	consciousness,	just	as
protoplasm	is	impersonal	in	its	responses. This	can	be	demonstrated	by	the
observation	that	the	test	responses	are	the	same	whether	verbalized	or	held
silently	in	mind. Thus,	the	test	subject	is	not	influenced	by	the	question,	as
they	do	not	even	know	what	it	is. To	demonstrate	this,	do	the	following
exercise:
The	tester	holds	in	mind	an	image	unknown	to	the	test	subject	and	states,
“The	image	I	am	holding	in	mind	is	positive”	(or	“true,”	or	“calibrates	over
200,”	etc.). On	direction,	the	test	subject	then	resists	the	downward	pressure
on	the	wrist. If	the	tester	holds	a	positive	image	in	mind	(e.g.,	Abraham
Lincoln,	Jesus,	Mother	Teresa,	etc. ),	the	test	subject’s	arm	muscle	will	go
strong. If	the	tester	holds	a	false	statement	or	negative	image	in	mind	(e.g.,
bin	Laden,	Hitler,	etc. ),	the	arm	will	go	weak. Inasmuch	as	the	test	subject
does	not	know	what	the	tester	has	in	mind,	the	results	are	not	influenced	by
personal	beliefs.Correct	Muscle-Testing	Technique
Just	as	Galileo’s	interest	was	in	astronomy	and	not	in	making	telescopes,
the	Institute	for	Advanced	Spiritual	Research	is	devoted	to	Consciousness
research	and	not	specifically	to	muscle	testing. The	DVD,	
Power	vs.	Force
(Veritas	Publishing,	[1995],	2006),	demonstrates	the	basic	technique. More
detailed	information	about	muscle	testing	can	be	found	on	the	Internet	by
searching	for	‘kinesiology’. Numerous	references	are	provided,	such	as	the
College	of	Applied	Kinesiology	(
www.icak.com
),	and	other	educational
institutions. Disqualification
Both	skepticism	(cal. 160)	and	cynicism	calibrate	below	200	because	they
reflect	negative	prejudgment. In	contrast,	true	inquiry	requires	an	open	mind
and	honesty	devoid	of	intellectual	vanity. Negative	studies	of	behavioral
kinesiology	(mscle	testing)	
all
	calibrate	below	200	(usually	at	160),	as	do	the
investigators	themselves. That	even	famous	professors	can	and	do	calibrate	below	200	may	seem
surprising	to	the	average	person. Thus,	negative	studies	are	a	consequence	of
negative	bias. As	an	example,	Francis	Crick’s	research	design	that	led	to	the
discovery	of	the	double	helix	pattern	of	DNA	calibrated	at	440. His	last
research	design,	which	was	intended	to	prove	that	consciousness	was	just	a
product	of	neuronal	activity,	calibrated	at	only	135. The	failure	of	investigators	who	themselves,	or	by	faulty	research	design,
calibrate	below	200	(all	calibrate	at	approximately	160),	confirms	the	truth	of
the	very	methodology	they	claim	to	disprove. They	‘should’	get	negative
results,	and	so	they	do,	which	paradoxically	proves	the	accuracy	of	the	test	to
detect	the	difference	between	unbiased	integrity	and	nonintegrity. Any	new	discovery	may	upset	the	apple	cart	and	be	viewed	as	a	threat	to
the	status	quo	of	prevailing	belief	systems. That	a	clinical	science	of
consciousness	has	emerged	which	validates	spiritual	Reality	is,	of	course,
going	to	precipitate	resistance,	as	it	is	actually	a	direct	confrontation	to	the
dominion	of	the	narcissistic	core	of	the	ego	itself,	which	is	innately
presumptuous	and	opinionated. Below	consciousness	level	200,	comprehension	is	limited	by	the
dominance	of	Lower	Mind,	which	is	capable	of	recognizing	facts	but	not	yet
able	to	grasp	what	is	meant	by	the	term	‘truth’	(it	confuses	
res	interna
	with
res	externa
),	and	that	truth	has	physiological	accompaniments	which	are
different	from	falsehood. Additionally,	truth	is	intuited	as	evidenced	by	the
use	of	voice	analysis,	the	study	of	body	language,	papillary-response	EEG
changes	in	the	brain,	fluctuations	in	breathing	and	blood	pressure,	galvanicskin	response,	dowsing,	and	even	the	Huna	technique	of	measuring	the
distance	that	the	aura	radiates	from	the	body. Some	people	have	a	very	simple
technique	that	utilizes	the	standing	body	like	a	pendulum	(fall	forward	with
truth	and	backward	with	falsehood). From	a	more	advanced	contextualization,	the	principles	that	prevail	are
that	Truth	cannot	be	disproved	by	falsehood	any	more	than	light	can	be
disproved	by	darkness. The	nonlinear	is	not	subject	to	the	limitations	of	the
linear. Truth	is	of	a	different	paradigm	from	logic	and	thus	is	not	‘provable’,
as	that	which	is	provable	calibrates	only	in	the	400s. Consciousness	research
muscle	testing	operates	at	level	600,	which	is	at	the	interface	of	the	linear	and
the	nonlinear	dimensions. Discrepancies
Differing	calibrations	may	be	obtained	over	time	or	by	different
investigators	for	a	variety	of	reasons:
1. Situations,	people,	politics,	policies,	and	attitudes	change	over	time. 2. People	tend	to	use	different	sensory	modalities	when	they	hold	something
in	mind,	i.e.,	visual,	sensory,	auditory,	or	feeling. “Your	mother”	could
therefore	be	how	she	looked,	felt,	sounded,	etc.,or	Henry	Ford	could	be
calibrated	as	a	father,	as	an	industrialist,	for	his	impact	on	America,	his
anti-Semitism,	etc. One	can	specify	context	and	stick	to	a	prevailing	modality. The	same	team
using	the	same	technique	will	get	results	that	are	internally	consistent. Expertise	develops	with	practice. There	are	some	people,	however,	who	are
incapable	of	a	scientific,	detached	attitude	and	unable	to	be	objective,	and	for
whom	the	muscletesting	method	will	therefore	not	be	accurate. Dedication
and	intention	to	the	truth	have	to	be	given	priority	over	personal	opinions	and
trying	to	prove	them	as	being	“right.”APPENDIX	D

	82,	985-992.ABOUT	THE	AUTHOR
Biographical	and	Autobiographical	Notes
Dr.	Hawkins	is	an	internationally	known	spiritual	tacher,	author,	and
speaker	on	the	subject	of	advanced	spiritual	states,	consciousness	research,
and	the	Realization	of	the	Presence	of	God	as	Self. His	published	works,	as	well	as	recorded	lectures,	have	been	widely
recognized	as	unique	in	that	a	very	advanced	state	of	spiritual	awareness
occurred	in	an	individual	with	a	scientific	and	clinical	background	who	was
later	able	to	verbalize	and	explain	the	unusual	phenomenon	in	a	manner	that
is	clear	and	comprehensible. The	transition	from	the	normal	ego-state	of	mind	to	its	elimination	by	the
Presence	is	described	in	the	trilogy	
Power	vs.	Force
	(1995)	which	won	praise
even	from	Mother	Teresa,	
The	Eye	of	the	I
	(2001),	and	
I:	Reality	and
Subjectivity
	(2003),	which	have	been	translated	into	the	major	languages	of
the	world. Truth	vs.	Falsehood:	How	to	Tell	the	Difference
	(2005)	and
Transcending	the	Levels	of	Consciousness
	(2006)	continue	the	exploration	of
the	ego’s	expressions	and	inherent	limitations	and	how	to	transcend	them. The	trilogy	was	preceded	by	research	on	the	Nature	of	Consciousness	and
published	as	the	doctoral	dissertation,	
Qualitative	and	Quantitative	Analysis
and	Calibration	of	the	Levels	of	Human	Consciousness
	(1995),	which
correlated	the	seemingly	disparate	domains	of	science	and	spirituality. This
was	accomplished	by	the	major	discovery	of	a	technique	that,	for	the	first
time	in	human	history,	demonstrated	a	means	to	discern	truth	from	falsehood. The	importance	of	the	initial	work	was	given	recognition	by	its	very
favorable	and	extensive	review	in	
Brain/Mind	Bulletin
	and	at	later
presentations	such	as	the	International	Conference	on	Science	and
Consciousness. Many	presentations	were	given	to	a	variety	of	organizations,
spiritual	conferences,	church	groups,	nuns,	and	monks,	both	nationally	and	in
foreign	countries,	including	the	Oxford	Forum. In	the	Far	East,	Dr.	Hawkins
is	a	recognized	“Teacher	of	the	Way	to	Enlightenment”	(Tae	Ryoung	Sun	Kak
Dosa). In	response	to	his	observation	that	much	spiritual	truth	has	been
misunderstood	over	the	ages	due	to	lack	of	explanation,	Dr.	Hawkins
presented	monthly	seminars	that	provided	detailed	explanations	which	are	too
lengthy	to	describe	in	book	format. Recordings	are	available,	along	withquestions	and	answers	that	provide	additional	clarification. The	overall	design	of	this	lifetime	work	is	to	recontextualize	the	human
experience	in	terms	of	the	evolution	of	consciousness	and	to	integrate	a
comprehension	of	both	mind	and	spirit	as	expressions	of	the	innate	Divinity
that	is	the	substrate	and	ongoing	source	of	life	and	Existence. This	dedication
is	signified	by	the	statement	“Gloria	in	Excelsis	Deo!”	with	which	his
published	works	begin	and	end. Biographic	Summary
Dr.	Hawkins	has	practiced	psychiatry	since	1952	and	is	a	life	member	of
the	American	Psychiatric	Association	and	numerous	other	professional
organizations. His	national	television	appearance	schedule	has	included	
The
McNeil/Leher	News	Hour,	The	Barbara	Walters	Show,	The	Today	Show,
science	documentaries,	and	many	others. He	is	the	author	of	numerous	scientific	and	spiritual	publications,	books,
videotapes,	and	lecture	series. Nobelist	Linus	Pauling	coauthored	his
landmark	book,	
Orthomolecular	Psychiatry. Dr.	Hawkins’s	diverse
background	as	researcher	and	teacher	is	noted	in	his	biographical	listings	in
Who’s	Who	in	America
	and	
Who’s	Who	in	the	World
. He	was	a	consultant	for
many	years	to	Episcopal	and	Catholic	Dioceses,	The	Monastery,	monastic
orders,	and	the	Zen	Monastery. Dr.	Hawkins	has	lectured	widely,	with	appearances	at	Westminster	Abbey;
the	Universities	of	Argentina,	Notre	Dame,	and	Michigan;	Fordham	and
Harvard	Universities;	and	the	Oxford	Forum. He	gave	the	annual	Landsberg
Lecture	at	the	University	of	California	Medical	School	at	San	Francisco. He	is
also	a	consultant	to	foreign	governments	on	international	diplomacy	and	was
instrumental	in	resolving	long-standing	conflicts	that	were	major	threats	to
world	peace. In	recognition	of	his	contributions	to	humanity,	in	1995	Dr.	Hawkins
became	a	knight	of	the	Sovereign	Order	of	the	Hospitaliers	of	St.	John	of
Jerusalem,	which	was	founded	in	1077.Hay	House	Titles	of	Related	Interest

someone	or	something	that	is	loved. ) The	imbalance	may	be	the	result	of	recently	having	been	with	negative
people,	listening	to	heavy	metal	rock	music,	watching	violent	television
programs,	playing	violent	video	games,	etc. Negative	music	energy	has	a
deleterious	effect	on	the	energy	system	of	the	body	for	up	to	one-half	hour
after	it	is	turned	off. Television	commercials	or	background	are	also	a
common	source	of	negative	energy. As	previously	noted,	the	muscle-testing	method	of	discerning	truth	from
falsehood	and	the	calibrated	levels	of	truth	has	strict	requirements. Because	of
the	limitations,	calibrated	levels	are	supplied	for	ready	reference	in	prior
books,	and	extensively	in	
Truth	vs. Falsehood. Explanation
The	muscle-testing	technique	is	independent	of	personal	opinion	or	beliefs
and	is	an	impersonal	response	of	the	field	of	consciousness,	just	as
protoplasm	is	impersonal	in	its	responses. This	can	be	demonstrated	by	the
observation	that	the	test	responses	are	the	same	whether	verbalized	or	held
silently	in	mind. Thus,	the	test	subject	is	not	influenced	by	the	question,	as
they	do	not	even	know	what	it	is. To	demonstrate	this,	do	the	following
exercise:
The	tester	holds	in	mind	an	image	unknown	to	the	test	subject	and	states,
“The	image	I	am	holding	in	mind	is	positive”	(or	“true,”	or	“calibrates	over
200,”	etc. ). On	direction,	the	test	subject	then	resists	the	downward	pressure
on	the	wrist. If	the	tester	holds	a	positive	image	in	mind	(e.
It is used to clear up paradoxical responses from a test subject.
