Dr. Diamond’s startling discovery was that indicator muscles would strengthen or weaken in the presence of positive or negative emotional and intellectual stimuli, as well as physical stimuli.
certain pictures, with no overtly positive or negative content would cause all subjects to test weak, while other “neutral” pictures caused all subjects to test strong.
Is the human brain, at some primal level, a wondrous computer linked with a universal energy field that knows far more than it knows it knows?
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 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, which dominate human existence and therefore define content, meaning, and value, and serve as organizing energies for widespread patterns of human behavior.
the individual human mind is like a computer terminal connected to a giant database. The database is human consciousness itself, of which our own consciousness is merely an individual expression, but with its roots in the common consciousness of all mankind.
“We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become.”
This has always been the difficulty of the sage: how to communicate the nonlinear realities that lie beyond the reach of the mind in a way that the mind can understand.
Man’s dilemma—now and always—has been that he misidentifies his own intellectual artifacts as reality.
Society constantly expends its efforts to correct effects instead of causes, which is one reason why the evolution of human consciousness proceeds so slowly.
There are no actual causes within the observable world. As we shall demonstrate, the observable world is a world of effects.
Every effect results from the preceding effect in a regress leading back to the primary necessary mover that produced all contingent effects, seen in the narrow focus as cause and effect.
Societal choices, more often than not, are the result of expediency,
Because societies lack the necessary reality base for formulation of effective problem resolutions, they fall back, over and over, on a resort to force
man in fact operates primarily out of pattern-recognition;
any further advance in man’s condition requires a verifiable basis for knowingness, upon which we may place our trust.
The relative weight and merit given to certain data are determined by a predominant attractor pattern operating in the individual or in a collective group of minds.
AI can use liguistic attractors but not attractors from consciousness.
Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact, he is governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control. Because power is effortless, it goes unseen and unsuspected. Force is experienced through the senses; power can be recognized only through inner awareness.
To those that say there is only power, not good and evil, they are conflating power and force. Evil uses force, and the good use power, e.g., The power of God.
Facts are accumulated by effort, but truth reveals itself effortlessly.
the body can discern, to the finest degree, the difference between that which is supportive of life and that which is not.
The methodology, proceeding from the study of nonlinear dynamics, which we employed in this work of developing a map of the fields of human consciousness, is known as attractor research. It is concerned with the identification of power ranges of energy fields utilizing critical point analysis.11
The phenomenological universe is the expression of the interaction of endless attractor patterns of varying strengths. The unending complexities of life are the reflections of the endless reverberations of the augmentations and diminutions of these fields, compounded by their harmonics and other interactions.
Bohm postulates a source that is beyond both the explicate and implicate realms, very much like the state of pure awareness described by the sages.
The evolution of consciousness and the development of human society can be depicted in the mathematical terms of nonlinear dynamics.
Our study also correlates with the conclusions reached by Nobelist Sir John Eccles that the brain acts as a receiving set for energy patterns residing within the mind itself, which exist as consciousness expressed in the form of thought.25 It is the vanity of the ego that claims thoughts as “mine.” Genius, on the other hand, commonly attributes the source of creative leaps of awareness to that basis of all consciousness, which has traditionally been called Divinity.
The most striking finding of kinesiology initially was a clear demonstration that muscles instantly become weak when the body is exposed to harmful stimuli.
logic. It was also observed that a test response where the subject went weak was accompanied by desynchronization of the cerebral hemispheres.
Truth cannot be disproved by falsehood any more than light can be disproved by darkness.
Contemplation of the Map of Consciousness can, for instance, transform one’s understanding of causality.
The difference between treating and healing is that in the former, the context remains the same, whereas in the latter, the clinical response is elicited by a change of context so as to bring about an absolute removal of the basis of the condition rather than mere recovery from its symptoms.
when a traumatized, apathetic patient begins to cry, we know they are getting better.
Reason does not of itself provide a guide to truth. It produces massive amounts of information and documentation, but lacks the capability to resolve discrepancies in data and conclusions.
Reason deals only with particulars, whereas Love deals with wholes.
Motivation proceeds from meaning, and meaning, in turn, is an expression of context. Thus, achievement is bounded by context, which, when correspondingly aligned with motivation, determines the individual’s relative power.
The confusion surrounding the nature of truth can be mitigated if we calibrate the level of truth of our questions as well as the answers.
All observations are reflections of specific levels of consciousness and are valid only on their own level.
Its value may therefore be corrupted when the statement is distorted by the limitations of the listener.
Anyone can be righteous, from the killer who justifies his rage, to ecclesiastic demagogues and political extremists of all persuasions. By distorting context, it is possible to rationalize and justify virtually any human behavior.
In all of these exercises, kinesiology reveals the hidden implicit order by making it explicit, disclosing its true nature.
Truth is unveiled when we see that one has “that” or does “that,” instead of being “that.”
The philosophic position of reductive materialism, based on the premise that nothing is real unless it is quantifiable, is endemic in the sciences. The source of power, however, is invisible and intangible. The sophistry of logical empiricism is clear from its essential premise. To say that nothing is real unless it is measurable is already an abstract position, is it not? This proposition itself is nowhere tangible, visible, or measurable; the argument of tangibility is itself created from the intangible.
Nonlinear dynamics has verified that there really is no chaos in the universe; the appearance of disorder is merely a function of the limits of perception.
Unless there is an underlying attractor pattern, nothing can be experienced. Thus, the entire manifest universe is its own simultaneous expression and experience of itself.
There is in reality no enfolded versus unfolded universe; there is actually only a becoming awareness. Our perception of events happening in time is analogous to a traveler watching the landscape unfold before him.
It is equally true that having placed that construct upon the reality before us, we will react to it in a fashion predicted by the level from which we observe.
Frequently, the only way one can reach this willingness to change is when one “hits bottom,” that is, by running out a course of action to its end in the defeat of a futile belief system.
You must be reborn in the Spirit.
There is nothing the mind believes that is not fallacious at a higher level of awareness.
e.g. Unity Consciousness, Law of One Sixth density
How do we experience what the senses are reporting? Something greater, something more encompassing than the physical body, has to exist in order to experience that which is lesser; that something is mind itself.
man is unable to observe or recognize an event until there is a prior context and language for naming the event.
In all spiritual disciplines, the opening wedge predicated for advancing one’s awareness is described as “willingness.”
