Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Another factor to be considered in the face of a paradoxical response is the time frame of the memory or image involved. If a test subject is holding in mind a given person and their relationship, the response will depend on the period the memory or image represents. If he is remembering his relationship with his brother from childhood, he may have

Kinesiology is now a well-established science, based on testing of an all-or-none muscle response to stimuli. A positive stimulus provokes a strong muscle response; a negative stimulus results in a demonstrable weakening of the

The inadequacy of the answers we receive is a direct consequence of the limitations implicit in the viewpoints of the questioner.

The most striking finding of kinesiology initially was a clear demonstration that muscles instantly become weak when the body is exposed to harmful stimuli.

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.

But our own research indicates that causality operates in a completely different manner, in which the attractor pattern complex “ABC” splits through its “operants” and is expressed as the seeming sequence “A, then B, then C” of perception. From this diagram we see that the source (ABC), which is unobservable, results in the visible sequence A→B→C,

In describing the emotional correlates of the energy fields of consciousness, it is well to remember that they are rarely manifested as pure states in an individual. A person may operate on one level in a given area of life and on quite a different level in another area of life. An individual’s overall level of consciousness is the sum total effect

it was Dr. Diamond’s demonstration that the body instantly went weak in response to unhealthy emotional attitudes or mental stresses that had the greatest ongoing clinical influence. His refinement of the muscle-testing technique, the one used by most practitioners, was used in this study over a period of twenty years.

Society needs visionaries of means, not dreamers of ends.
