David R. Hawkins, Power Vs.Force Review

Overall Rating

Connects spirituality and science in a way that makes it easy to see the common themes in most spiritual practices, and why they work.

None!

David R. Hawkins, Power Vs.Force - I think this is the most interesting, inspiring and useful book I've read. Dr. Hawkins has the capacity to make even the introduction and appendices completely fascinating! A rare being, where a scientific mind is connected to a spiritually enlightened heart, Dr. Hawkins reports on over 20 years of muscle-testing on the theme of human consciousness, to test the real effects of thought on the human energy system. In this method, where subjects either go weak or strong, the human body itself proves to be the amazingly sensitive and responsive tool needed to construct a complete map of every level of human consciousness. Dr Hawkins presents his findings in such easily understood forms as the Map of Consciousness, where he relates God view, Life-View and Emotions with levels of awareness on an ascending scale from Shame (20) to Enlghtenment (1000). He also calibrates the Truth rating of each chapter of the book! It all makes perfect sense of the world and people's different views and realities. Having proved that higher levels of consciousness brings greater levels of Power, the point of seeking enlightenment becomes a bit easier for the Western mind to understand! The secret of raising our level of consciousness is to choose the thoughts and influences that add to our power - ( a truthful statement adds to our power, while a lie takes our power away). It's what all the great spiritual teachers of the past have been trying to get across to us, but in Dr Hawkins, I think the message may finally have found a presenter who can get through to us!
It's a must-read for anyone wanting to understand themselves, and society.
