Greetings to Inquiring Mind & Michael Saikali!
Like most of you on this forum, I am a voracious reader of self help books.. I'm especially interested in quantum physics, spirituality, and intelligence increase.
The books by David Hawkins have been, by far, the most powerful I have read on these subjects. His earlier work, Orthomolecular Psycyhiatry with Linus Pauling was also quite influential in my thinking about nutritional supplementation and cognitive functioning.
Although I have not done much in the way of using the 2 - person muscle testing technique described in the book, he does make mention of a method one can use without a partner: Make a circle with the thumb and forefinger of your predominant hand... then try to pull it apart with the index finger of the other hand.. using the same calibrating methodologies described in the book.. I believe this method is described in the appendix.
The Map of Consciousness is probably the most powerful aspect of Hawkins' approach. I use it to intuitively ascertain the truth level of various books, organizations, individuals, and programs... mostly, though, as a self-check: What is my predominating body/mind/emotion state?
