Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

$14.95
In "Power vs. Force," David Hawkins attempts to set up an absolute test for truth using kinesiology. In brief, a person holds his arm horizontally while a second person pushes down on the arm with two fingers above the wrist. The first person is asked to resist the pushing. A concept or idea is then introduced (for example, Adolph Hitler or Jesus Christ). According to Hawkins, if a concept tests "strong," the person will be able to resist the pushing on his arm, no matter how strong. On the other hand, if a concept tests "weak," the person cannot successfully resist the push, and his arm will go down. Hawkins claims all would test strong for Jesus Christ and weak for Adolph Hitler, regardless of whether they had any knowledge or information about the subjects. Moreover, Hawkins claims that this strong and weak test is true for all people and all cultures and is absolutely valid. Therefore--and this is the outrageous part--this test can be used to test the truth of anything from a political regime to a TV commercial. Supposedly, this is because the collective wisdom of mankind is stored in one's muscles.

This is obviously absurd. While there may be some correlation between ideas and physiological responses (a polygraph is based on this claim), to assert that such responses are universal and absolute and independent of any conscious knowledge is laughable. Nevertheless, Hawkins feels compelled to base his entire book on this theory. One could just as easily claim that universal truth could be detected by how quickly one blinks his eyes and set up "tests" to prove that it is valid.

If this book has any validity, it is that human beings benefit from considering psychological and spiritual dichotomies such as power vs. force, freedom vs. domination, openness vs secrecy, and so on. Anyone can do this by using his own intuition and discernment. You don't need to hold your arm out and have someone push down on it to know that the message of Jesus Christ is more powerful than the message of Adolph Hitler.
