Do I have a direct line to god? I don’t mean “God” in the Christian sense, but a source of everything; the energy that connects us all.

Sure!

Many years ago I tried the technique of muscle testing. I used the second method, the O-ring with your finger and thumb, depicted in this video:

The muscle test does not have any supernatural properties, I tested it fairly extensively and worked out how it operates. My theory is that the right brain decides how the test responds. The right brain is like your left brain, only it’s not exactly conscious. I am completely unable to do the O-ring test with the fingers switched, when I try it’s the pulling finger that loses strength rather than the O-ring.

The idea is to ask it things you don’t know and figure out a way to get there using yes-no questions, then just go. I first used it to calibrate so-called “levels of consciousness” on a scale of 1–1000 where a 1000 is basically Jesus. (the idea comes from David Hawkins if you’re interested)

What it does do is give you access to an entity that sees and hears everything you do, understands your conscious mind, is amazingly plastic, and can be hilariously funny. For a long time, I believed that the the thing at the other end of the test was my Higher Self. That works just fine, at one point I had it switching around with various non-physical entities.

I did not stop testing because it got boring or anything. A weird sensation started happening when I would go to test. I’d get a sense in my brain of exactly how the test would respond, once that started happening and I could rely on it, the actual test stopped being necessary. I’d just ‘feel’ for the response in my brain. I can still do it and do from time to time, though the actual function of the test, getting surprising answers to questions, I’ve mostly subsumed into my normal thinking process. It took a long time to develop.

I need to walk back the “no supernatural properties” statement. While I don’t think the mechanics of the test go through anywhere but your right brain, I’ve explored things like psychic senses through it. One time I asked it to predict some random happening, like enemy behavior in a game. It got it right a couple of times at first, enough to get me excited, but then it stopped working abruptly. Nothing that would pass a James Randi million-dollar psychic challenge, but fascinating nonetheless.
