Excerpt From Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins
While the young are being programmed by specialized TV and computer games that glorify violence, their parents are being brainwashed by adult media. Kinesiological testing showed that a fairly typical TV show caused test subjects to go weak 113 times during a single episode. Each of these weakening events suppressed the observer’s immune system and reflected an insult to the observer’s central as well as autonomic nervous system. Invariably accompanying each of these 113 disruptions of the acupuncture system were suppressions to the thymus gland; each insult also resulted in damage to the brain’s delicate neurohormonal and neurotransmitter systems. Each negative input brought the watcher closer to eventual sickness and imminent depression – which is now the world’s most prevalent illness.
Subtle grades of depression kill more people than all the other diseases of mankind combined. There is no anti-depressant that will cure a depression that’s spiritually based, for the malaise doesn’t originate from brain dysfunction, but from an accurate response to the desecration of life. The body is the reflection of the spirit in its physical expression, and its problems are the dramatization of the struggles of the spirit that gives it life. A belief that we ascribe to “out there” has its effect “in there”. Everyone dies by his own hand – that’s a hard clinical fact, not a moral view.
