We lose muscle strength when we think of Hitler (though I assume this doesn’t happen if you’re a psychopath.) Whilst you are thinking about the hero or villain, you resist as your tester presses down quickly with two fingers on your extended wrist.You (the subject) are told to think first about Ghandi and then about Hitler to assess whether your responses to the goody and baddy are ‘normal’.Kinesiology testing processīasically (and apologies in advance to any kinesiology practitioners reading this) what happens during two person muscle testing is this:
The research covers the results of millions of calibrations of statements, thoughts, photos, art, music, influential world leaders in every discipline and in almost every area of human endeavor for over 20 years, effectively establishing an anatomy of consciousness. That’s muscle testing.ĭr Hawkins’ research discovered that man’s kinesiologic response to stimulus conveyed a capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but truth from falsity. The map of consciousness was developed via kinesiology. Unlike awareness, it is a state and it characterizes our actions and behaviour. You could also call it a lens a filter on reality. We become aware through observing ourselves where c onsciousness seems to refer to our overall orientation. Not totally essential, but great if you are ready to wrap your mind around something interesting.įirst, what is consciousness? How is it different to regular awareness?Īnd just how did David mysteriously arrive at numerical values for each stage? What is consciousness?īig question, which I am not really fit to answer but here goes: c onsciousness is like awareness, but not exactly. I think that some people will find it a helpful self awareness tool. The work is detailed through his books, Power versus Force and Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment. Mapping human consciousness probably wasn’t Dr David Hawkins’ most humble endeavor.īut the product of his work – the Map of Consciousness, detailing 17 stages of consciousness together with their energy ‘calibration values’ – is devastating in its magnitude.ĭr Hawkins’ goal in creating the Map of Consciousness was “to overcome the inherent limitation of the human mind, whereby falsity has been misidentified as truth”, his ultimate goal being to assist human evolution.
