Re: Could you explain?
Quinthius,
That's a beautiful explanation. You have answered many more questions for me than I ever expected.
My experience has been quite different than yours.
The number of muscle-testers I've seen have difficulty doing it for themselves. One expert said flat out that he never tries for himself, by himself. To quote him, "If I suggest that a piece of chocolate cake is good for me, guess what answer I get!"
He has gone far enough in his research to say that he gets about thirty percent correct answers when muscle-testing himself. (He tests his accuracy by machine, and has done so for many years.)
As with almost all muscle-testers I know, this must be practiced with two. And, of course, one must still assess the value of 'answers' for oneself.
More than that, a single word written on a piece of paper, and folded in, carries enough charge to be read at a distance from the subject. And, much practice is needed to familiarize a person with signs of accuracy.
One practiced muscle-tester preferred his wife to stand behind me, touching, and he used her arm to observe the strengths.
Another uses his fingers to test the strengths, one finger over the next, while lightly touching my arm with his other hand.
It's all energy, of course, the difficulty comes in separating opinion from fact...preference from accuracy...hopefulness from truth. ...Mankind's perpetual dilemma.
However we may arrive at a truth, we must also test our accuracy.
Muscle-testers always make a pre-statement, "This connection is working," before proceeding.
They always throw in a 'placebo' in 'scientific' tests on humans. I smile, because this acknowledges the influence of human expectations on well-being, in some humans.
It has recently been scientifically proven, beyond all doubt, at a university, that, "It is impossible to have a thought that DOESN'T affect us physically." (The emphasis is mine.)
The lady announcing their discovery to the media was excited, and said so, although she behaved professionally. She recognized the value of the proof.
Getting beyond our own preferences and expectations, in muscle-testing, is a real puzzler. Yet, if we can, we should.
I'll re-read your response, several times, Quinthius. You make very good sense.
Many thanks,
