Human Consciousness and Applied Kinesiology

I came across the work of a guy called Dr. David R. Hawkins.........

Dr. David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD developed a “map” of the levels of human consciousness (also called the Scale of Consciousness) that uses a muscle-testing technique called Applied Kinesiology (AK) to document the nonlinear, spiritual realm. The research was scientifically-validated and published in Dr. Hawkins’ doctorate dissertation titled Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibrations of the Level of Human Consciousness, an elaborate discussion of the Scale of Consciousness and its significance.

Here is an explanation of the process....

What intrigues me is the stated fact that when a certain amount of people reach certain conscious levels then they can literary pull the rest of us up to higher consciousness by our bootstraps. In fact it is stated that one Avatar, say for instance the return of Krishna, can raise the whole level of the population of the planet to Enlightenment. This interests my as i know from reading various Hindu texts that this the Kali Yuga era will be followed by a new Golden Age with the return of Krishna. There are of course other religions that forecast the return of various Avatars, Jesus etc to lead us back to God. So i am putting this information out there for people on ATS that are interested in this particular subject. Enjoy, God bless.

thank you. namaste

My pleasure truthseeker10. I thought it seemed really relevant info and worth sharing. It made me think of the old saying "Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi.

Is there any explanation for why this happens?

Is this the same Consciousness Map that scored Bush Jr. a 400, and Galileo around 200?

I'm fairly certain Applied Kinesiology has been thoroughly debunked.

According to the American Cancer Society, "available scientific evidence does not support the claim that applied kinesiology can diagnose or treat cancer or other illness".[12]

A review of several scientific studies of AK-specific procedures and diagnostic tests concluded that "When AK is disentangled from standard orthopedic muscle testing, the few studies evaluating unique AK procedures either refute or cannot support the validity of AK procedures as diagnostic tests. The evidence to date does not support the use of manual muscle testing for the diagnosis of organic disease or pre/subclinical conditions."[20] Another concluded that "There is little or no scientific rationale for these methods. Results are not reproducible when subject to rigorous testing and do not correlate with clinical evidence of allergy."[21] A double-blind study was conducted by the ALTA Foundation for Sports Medicine Research in Santa Monica, California and published in the June 1988 Journal of the American Dietetic Association. The study used 3 experienced AK practitioners and concluded that, "The results of this study indicated that the use of Applied Kinesiology to evaluate nutrient status is no more useful than random guessing."[5]

Despite more than four decades of review, RCT (randomized, controlled trials) and other evaluative methods, even invested researchers delivered the following opinion;

One shortcoming is the lack of RCTs to substantiate (or refute) the clinical utility (efficacy, effectiveness) of chiropractic interventions based on MMT findings. Also, because the etiology of a muscle weakness may be multifactorial, any RCT that employs only one mode of therapy to only one area of the body may produce outcomes that are poor due to these limitations.[22]

Some of the studies, research and reviews of applied kinesiology mentioned above are listed at the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health.[5][23][24][25][26][27][28]

Too bad, his (Khrisna/Christ/Buddha/etc) return, if it will ever happen, will not be accepted by most people.

Expect hostilities from top organized religions.

Any influential person who promote freedom of mankind from the system are considered anti-messiah/nwo agent/etc

peace.

Hi Afterinfinity. It states in the Map of Consciousness scale.....

In the late 1970s, Dr. John Diamond refined this specialty into Behavioral Kinesiology where indicator muscles would strengthen or weaken in the presence of positive or negative physical, emotional and intellectual stimuli. Dr. Hawkins’ research took Dr. Diamond’s technique several steps further, by discovering that this kinesiologic response conveys man’s capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but also anabolic from catabolic, and very dramatically, truth from falsity. The Map of Consciousness reflects millions of calibrations of statements, thoughts, photos, art, music, influential world leaders in every discipline and in almost every area of human endeavour. The research carried on for over 20 years to come up effectively with an anatomy of consciousness that reflects the entire human condition.

So the claim probably revolves around positive or negative energy. Do you carry positive energy which would be helpful or negative which would be destructive. We know nowadays that a positive attitude helps tremendously in life. Positive people are healthier, happier and more successful in life.

Hi Aphorism. Whether it works or not, i don't know. It's just something out there for people to investigate if they are so inclined. As for the Scientific validation or not, to be quite frank i do not trust any research anymore. With so much fraud and manipulation going on for Corporate ends, it's a mess. Any subject that claims to be able to help people without the aid of some chemical filled pharmaceutical is shot down mercilessly. I prefer to try thing's and decide on my own whether it works or not. It wouldn't be the first time the Scientific community where wrong would it?

Hi dodol. I tend to think that their consciousness will be raised also. If the Avatar is true and consciousness is raised it will be fine. If not then it doesn't really matter, there is only one winner is there not?

Apart from being a clinical aromatherapist I also studied Applied Kinesiology, and have used it in my practice for 20 years now with amazing results. There are different 'branches' so to speak within AK that specialise in different things like quicker physical recovery from injury (used by physios in differing sports) to educational kinesiology used for such things as dyslexia and ADDH, to ESR (emotional stress release).

All I know is it AK works and in many cases is quite profound and amazing in the positive changes it brings to peoples lives, and I totally 'get' the OP

Thanks OP for a very interesting read and introducing to me at least a new website, it is rare to find such a unique website these days that will make you go "oh Wow" and has interesting, useful and original information - there is so much garbage out there.

Hi angelchemue. Having admired your previous contributions to ATS from a distance i will certainly take your word on this. It seems to me that this could very well be a system that could bring profound positive change to all.

Hi PlanetXisHERE. I had much the same reaction to this page when i came across it. It just seems to make sense to me, you know when you get that feeling that something just seems right about the information presented.
