Aquarian Age spirituality will be LESS scientific than Piscean Age scientists wish!
In our last article we said, compared to the uncritical belief asked of us in Piscean Age spirituality, in Aquarian Age spirituality, testing and self-testing of beliefs and “things we take on faith” is dramatically more objective, evaluative and “scientific.”
However, one of the main objections to muscle testing, practicing being spirit-led, submitting decisions to Spirit for a second opinion before we act, is–Spirit is invisible. This is very inconvenient from a 3D point of view. It’s especially inconvenient to persons believing there is no reality beyond the material world, what they can touch, see, and taste.
Aquarian Age spirituality–muscle testing and self-testing in thousands of variations–will be LESS scientific than Piscean age science in this sense: This kind of testing produces repeatable responses, BUT, ONLY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WHO TESTS.
Muscle testing in the from of arm-pull-down is very impressive in that you can SEE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Sadly most explanations pale by comparison to the excitement of live muscle testing demos.
Adequate and sufficient understanding of what is happening, and language to describe it, apparently had to wait until the model of the Three Selves could be converged with testing. See this in the two-volume work, The Three Selves; Becoming Fully Human, at Lulu.com.
Yet the 20th century materialistic scientist is not satisfied. He or she wants much more. He will not accept muscle testing is “science.” He not only wants to see; the materialistic scientist wants results to be REPEATABLE BY ANY AND ALL TESTERS and experimenters. He may also wish the results between experimenters to vary not at all, to be identical, as in no “margin of error” and no variation at all in results. Only by these standards, says the 20th century materialist scientist, can results be considered “objective and repeatable.”
Very interesting!
What the materialistic scientist forgets is the experience of both love and pain are invisible and we never hear people argue about believing in love or pain.
So in the realm of science we also deal with many cultural prejudices and arbitrary lines in the sand.
Much was written in the late 20th century about the tyranny of materialistic science and its macho attitude towards the Intuitive, Introverted and Feeling nature of human nature. We need not repeat it here except to note the most dyed in the wool material scientists tend to be Extroverted, Sensory and Prefer Closure (Judging).
Consequently just how “scientific” muscle testing and self-testing is for you depends very much on how you define “scientific.”
Mr. Google says a simple and clear description of the scientific method is “a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The steps of the scientific method are to:
“- Ask a Question
- Do Background Research
- Construct a Hypothesis
- Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
- Analyze Your Data and Draw Conclusions
- Communicate Your Results
“It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. A “fair test” occurs when [as much as possible] you change only one factor (variable) and keep all other conditions the same.”
In my experience and the experience of practitioner friends who test, the above describes a lot of what we do routinely. All effective muscle testers and self testers I know personally use all or most of the above framework. Why? It’s practical. In healing we are usually dealing with the mysteries of individual unresolved actions. Testing keeps all variables in the “light of day” as much as possible and that helps a lot.
Ultimately I feel it’s a hollow victory to conclude muscle testing and self-testing is or is not a science.
I’m much more interested in it as an ART. Some readers will also know that when science approaches Art as in Goethe, Steiner, Einstein, Loren Eisley and some others, we have a similar wonder and subjective engagement provided by the best results in muscle testing and self-testing.
