PURE SPIRIT TESTING or THAT WHICH IS “THE QUANTIFIABLE-SPIRIT” PART OF YOUR PHILOSOPHY

-THE THEORY BEHIND THE TEST-

There are several discoveries that seem to make this test more than just an emotional pat-on-the-back:

This first one is, to me, the most important, and a new concept.

1. Several quotes from the Urantia Book, though they have to stand on their own until further research is completed:

Urantia Book: (12:8.5) - “As the mind of any personality becomes more spiritual – Godlike – it becomes less responsive to gravity. Reality, measured by physical-gravity response, is the antithesis of reality as determined by quality of spirit content. Physical gravity action is a quantitative determiner of nonspiritual; Spiritual-Gravity action is the qualitative measure of the living energy of divinity.”

Urantia Book: (12:8.10) “Matter. Organized energy which is subject to linear gravity except as it is modified by motion and conditioned by mind.”

Urantia Book: (12:8.11) “Mind. Organized consciousness which is not wholly subject to material gravity, and which becomes truly liberated when modified by spirit.”

Urantia Book: (42:11.4) “... but the levels of material mind, such as human mind, are responsive to the interactions of universe gravitation, losing this response only in proportion to spirit identification. Spirit reality levels are recognized by their spirit content, and spirituality in time and space is measured inversely to the linear-gravity response.”

Urantia Book: (42:11.5) “Linear-gravity response is a quantitative measure of nonspirit energy.” and “All mass-organized energy – is subject to this grasp except as motion and mind act upon it. “

Urantia Book: (12:6.5) “The universe is highly predictable only in the quantitative or gravity-measurement sense; even the primal physical forces are not responsive to linear gravity, nor are the higher mind meanings and true spirit values of ultimate universe realities”

2. Oxygen Uptake Testing has shown that a person who is in deep meditation uses less energy (Oxygen) than when in the deepest sleep. A petite woman can get her level down to only 70 calories an hour from around 120 calories an hour. The same relative values are obtained with men, and folks of all different sizes and ages.

Comment:

Herbert Benson, then at the Harvard Medical School, joined physiologist Robert Keith Wallace, Ph.D and others in the early 1970s in studying the physiology of people practicing TM (Transcendental Meditation). In 1975 he reported on this early research in, The Relaxation Response. Benson saw that there was a coordinated deep restfulness during certain forms of meditation. Although people who meditate knew that the body can become unusually quiet, it was striking scientific news that meditation is producing significantly deeper rest than sleep. This is determined by measuring how much oxygen is consumed. In sleep, oxygen consumption gradually decreases about eight percent over four or five hours. In meditation, it drops 10 to 20 percent in the first three minutes.

3. In muscle testing (Now also known as “Applied Kinesiology”) a person is asked to resist a force exerted on a body part (usually an arm) while they hold a statement in mind. If the statement is true, then the “body part” locks and resists the force. If the statement is not true, then the arm goes weak and is easily pushed down. This technique was Introduced to the natural health field and popularized in what is now recognized as Behavioral Kinesiology.

Note: In these tests we just ask you to make “interlocking loops” with the first and second fingers of both hands and pull – if you think the answer is “True”, then it is much harder to pull your fingers apart.

Final Notes:

We hope that as the scores accumulate, those tested will compare themselves with others and gain in “self-esteem” - even by the acceptance of a lower (humbling) score - and then start again in earnest seeking for the “Spirit Understanding” and thus growth in “Wisdom” and identification with more “Eternal Values”. And, then maybe begin to acquire that “Peace that Surpasses all Understanding” - which can increase the potential for a better quality, and “volume” of Worship and a feeling of “Real” progress in life - (True Soul Growth)!

BIG CLUE!! : The Answers are all “YES!!” (and that is why this is a “Score Thyself Test”), and only those questions that one thinks or feels are a personal “No” (or your fingers pull apart, or you skip the question) will be tallied against a perfect score – Then the introspection, and “commentary” reading begins – we hope!

Thanks in advance for taking the test(s).
