** spoiler alert **
I love delving into the inexplainable and the unseen. My entire life I have been on a search for truth, trying to decipher the good from the bad. This book makes it into the good pile. I'm eagerly waiting to try out kinesiology and see if it works as described in the book.
This book focuses on the deciphering what is true and what is false through applied kinesiology. I must admit it seems absolutely unscientific, the technique itself is very controversial. Through applied kinesiology the author has formulated a ladder of consciousness 0 - 1000. Lower levels of human consciousness register below 200, while levels of consciousness such as unconditional love register around 500. Those who reach enlightenment register between 700 and 1000 - which according to author very few ever reach this level.
Moving beyond the controversial methodology to formulate his theories, there are some ideas that resonated with me. The M pattern - which is described as an attractor pattern for human accomplishment. For example, the 4 minute mile for a long time was considered impossible, however once the goal was reached an attractor pattern was revealed to "human consciousness" and the 4 minute mile came into the realm of possible - others began to replicate and improve upon this feat.
Linear vs non-linear causality. Linear causality would look something like this A > B > C. Non-linear is more organic. Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs influence the outcome, moreso than an action causing another action. This falls into the realm of The Secret - which many view as quackery. Personally, I think there is truth there but science has not caught up and "proved" it yet.
I've had a lot of personal experiences where I have focused on and attracted certain outcomes and things to my life. If I used these techniques more often I'd probably be living a better life, but I am sometimes thwarted by my own cynicisms.
If anything, this book provides some good food for thought.
