Do you ever feel as if the people in your
life live on a different planet and have a different
reality than you do? Why can’t they get it? Why
can’t they see it? Why can’t they understand
your side of things? This affliction plagues most couples
who come to my office for counseling. I call it the “I’m
right and you’re wrong,” syndrome.
What is truth anyway? And, whose truth is more truthful
than someone else’s?
The truth is, (pardon the pun), that no one really knows what the truth is. Since
reality is changing so rapidly, what was truth when you began reading this article
may not be the same truth you feel by the time you finish. So, what’s a
girl to do?
It seems the bottom line is that if I want to be impeccable with my integrity,
I need to make sure that I am telling myself the truth first, and then make sure
that I am telling you the truth. But how can I know when I am being excruciatingly
honest even with myself?
Dr. David Hawkins, author of Power VS. Force, would tell us that every truth,
every word and every feeling has a vibrational frequency with a value from 0
to 1000. He would also tell you there is a way to test to see if you are standing
in your truth called kinesiology. You can do it. It’s a good idea to start
this test with two people. Here is how it goes.
1. Have your partner stand erect, right arm relaxed at his or her side and left
arm held out, elbow straight, as if he or she were signaling for a turn.
2. Now you face your partner. Place your left hand on your partner’s shoulder
to steady him or her and then place your right hand on your partner’s extended
arm, just above the wrist.
3. Tell your partner to resist, or push up when you try to quickly and firmly
push his or her arm down.
4. This will test the amount of spring or strength in the arm. Don’t push
so hard that your partner’s arms gets fatigued. Just test for resistance
or strength.
5. Now ask your partner to say his or her name and test again. You will notice
that the arm remains strong.
6. Now ask your partner to lie about his or her name and say a different one.
You will notice that your partner loses all strength in his or her arm. Your
partner’s arm is easily pushed down.
Once you get proficient at this kind of test, you can perform it on yourself
by making a circle with your middle finger and your thumb on your left hand and
then using your right index finger to pull through the circle. When you are telling
the truth your circled fingers will resist, not allowing your right index finger
through. When you are lying to yourself, you will not be able to hold your thumb
and middle finger together and your index finger will pull through easily because
you are weaker.
What is the reference point against which we are testing all this truth? Well
clearly, the strongest truth would be that which contains the least amount of
dissonance and that which resonates the most with what I refer to as Spirit.
David Hawkins calls it spiritus mundi or the database of pure consciousness.
The more aligned we are with that database or resonance, the stronger we become.
That David guy! I had no idea when I picked up his books that I would now have
to muscle test every article I write and every weekly message I send out for
it’s level of truth.

This muscle testing seems to take care of the personal or individual integrity
issue, now what about this my truth- your truth dilemma that comes up between
two people? Well, as I tell my clients, you just have to start with the premise
that what you each offer is true. Your truth is true for you and my true is true
for me. Once we accept that we can get to a resolution that works for both of
us. Amazing how much blame, shame, wrong right, good, bad and power, and powerlessness
energy just seems to dissipate when we realize that.
Gosh if we aren’t careful we could get out of a ton of judgment and all
that right/wrong or good/bad stuff and simply begin to ask, Is this the highest
vibration of truth and if not let’s get higher together. This one is safe
and beneficial to your soul.
