This book offers a quite sensational technique (kinesiology) for establishing the level of truth surrounding just about anything one would care to think about. This assumes the question is asked in the correct way, the level of interaction with one's assistant is kept to a minimum, and that one’s own 'calibration' level is sufficiently high enough to access the vast cosmic database that we are all purported to be connected to. Dr Hawkins has the capacity to make even the introduction and Appendices completely fascinating! A rare being, where a scientific mind is connected to a spiritually enlightened heart, Dr Hawkins reports on over 20 years of muscle-testing on the theme of human consciousness. In this method, where subjects either go weak or strong, the human body itself proves to be the amazingly sensitive and responsive tool needed to construct a complete map of every level of human consciousness. Dr Hawkins presents his findings in such easily understood forms as the Map of Consciousness, where he relates God view, Life-View and Emotions with levels of awareness on an ascending scale from Shame (20) to Enlightenment (1000). He also calibrates the Truth rating of each chapter of the book. For anyone wishing to understand more about themselves and people in general this book is a fascinating read.
