I wish every religious, spiritual, and political person would read this. Not only is the Truth real, it's verifiable. Thank you David Hawhins.
 Pseudo-Scientific Claptrap April 21, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Hawkins has given humanity a great epistemological breakthrough- we can test the truth of any statement with Applied Kinesiology, the science of muscle tension and tone. You can try this at home- measure the truth of a proposition by standing with your arm perpendicular to your body, have someone tell you a proposition, while the person pushes your arm down. The degree of truth of the statement is indexed to how much resistance there is in your arm during the pushing. Moreover, reading books and doing critical analysis of them is superfluous. "Simply hold [books] over your solar plexus, and have somebody test your muscle strength. As you do so, your books will end up in two piles; reflection on the differences between the two can produce a revelation." (p. 124) It may even be dangerous to read. "One may think he can maintain his psychic independence by refuting the work intellectually, but mere exposure to the material has a profound negative effect that continues even after the material is intellectually rejected. It's as though, within those negative influences, there's a hidden virus whose invasion of our psyches goes unnoticed." One will be tempted to ask if this is all just a humorous, Sokal-style hoax. Sadly, the answer is no.
 Not overly inspiring April 15, 2008
Tends to be tedious and difficult. Lots of references, not inspiring and I had to force myself to finish. Mundane, interesting, but not inspiring. I expected much more especially with Dyer's glowing endorsement.
One of the best books I have read April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book really opened my eyes to a very different perspective of the world. We really do exist in layers of energy, ranging from love to shame. Others before him have made the same case, but not as thoroughly. Although I'm not sure how to measure these emotions and I haven't performed the strength test, it is interesting material.
That's a Big Twinkie March 24, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The diverse critiques shown for this book perhaps validate the tome's worth, steeped in discussion generated by both its detractors and by those who have created a hyperbolic apotheosis to it. Most importantly, Ms. Lyon's manifestly toothsome Twinkie reference carries a critical Ghostbusters implication, not unlike that found in the vital transcendent works of Manley P. Hall and Walter Bosley.
