Power vs. Force

[Valerie Villars]

“Power vs. Force” by David Hawkins
The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

I picked up the above book again, recently. It is one of the most profound books I have ever read and I thought I would hit some highlights, as it offers profound wisdom.

Specifically, I’m going to list and outline “The Levels of Human Consciousness” as outlined in his very important book.

Below are his scientifically tested results, as per kinesiology. It is only a brief outline. The book is spectacular.

Levels below 200 which are destructive to life

• Energy Level 20: Shame
The energy level of Shame is perilously proximate to death.

• Energy Level 30: Guilt
Guilt is commonly used in our society to manipulate and punish.

• Energy Level 50: Apathy
This level is characterized by poverty, despair and hopelessness.

• Energy Level 75: Grief
This is the level of sadness, loss, and dependency.

• Energy Level 100: Fear
At this level, a lot more energy is available. Fear of danger is healthy. Fear runs much of the world, spurring on endless activity.

• Energy Level 125: Desire
Even more energy is available at this level. Desire motivates vast areas of human activity. Advertisers play on this desire.

• Energy Level 150: Anger
Although anger may lead to homicide and war, it can also be a fulcrum by which the oppressed are eventually catapulted to freedom.

• Energy Level 175: Pride
Pride has enough energy to run the United States Marine Corps. It’s the level aspired to by the majority of our kind today. This rise in self-esteem is a balm to all the pain experienced at the lower levels of consciousness.

At the levels of 200 and above, real power begins to appear.

• Energy Level 200: Courage
This is the first level of empowerment and it is the zone of exploration, accomplishment, fortitude and determination.

• Energy Level 250: Neutrality
To be neutral means to be relatively unattached to outcomes.

• Energy Level 310: Willingness
Work is done well here and it indicates one has overcome resistance to life. This reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci’s quote “It is better to resist at the beginning, than it is at the end.”

• Energy Level 350: Acceptance
Esource and creator of the experience of one’s life.

• Energy Level 400: Reason
Intelligence and rationality rise to the forefront. Knowledge and education are sought here.

• Energy Level 500: Love
Love emanates from the heart and has the capacity to lift others and accomplish great feats because of its purity of motive.

• Energy Level 540: Joy
This is the level of healing and a capacity for enormous patience and the persistence of a positive attitude in the face of prolonged adversity. The hallmark is compassion.

• Energy Level 600: Peace
This is the level where one attains God-consciousness. This level precludes normal human activity, due to the extreme state of bliss. -Many here on Avalon have experience this. –
Great works of art, music and architecture that calibrate between 600 and 700 can transport us to higher levels of consciousness.

• Energy Levels 700-1,000: Enlightenment
This is the level of powerful inspiration; these beings set in place attractor energy fields that influence all of mankind. To have such a vision is called grace.

Ah, yet another guru who borrowed from Scientology. He's in good company: Paul Twitchell, Eckhart Tolle, Werner Erhardt, Anton LaVey... too many to remember.

I've benefitted immensely by the work of David R. Hawkins, MD, Ph.D. and can say from my own journey that consciousness does indeed transform and transcend. Science and spirituality both attempt to describe the process in different words and explanations, but when you experience these deeper states, you know that words don't suffice to describe or explain.

Without the actual inner experiences, the words just point to concepts. Dr. Hawkins attempts to use the science of light through muscle testing. It only works if your consciousness develops above 200.

It's interesting that Pride is at the threshold of the higher states. If one can't get past their ego, or intellectual mind with its dualistic nature and judgments of others, the light of truth is not active enough to be able to read or perceive the information in the energy.

I've noticed the difference in how the essence of people's energy fields between those who are arrogant and prideful (they are more likely to be deceived, brainwashed, and turned into minions and they dismiss the truth offhand), and the essence of those who have the higher vibrations of understanding and compassion and tend to be much more highly perceptive.

In alchemy, substances are united, purified, and separated to end up with a perfected result. In humanity, I see this alchemy taking place. The Light of Consciousness that Dr. Hawkins has found ways to measure is going through this process.

Thank you for sharing this, Valerie! :heart:

In all fairness, life is a series of borrowings of which Scientology is not exempt.

The thread on enlightenment that I started oh so many years go was greatly influenced by the late Dr David Hawkins
I went to see him at his "Living the Prayer" seminar --Long-beach California.
Fortunate enough to exchange a few words with him.
His books are well worth reading-beyond the first one--Power vs Force

What books have you published TomKat?

Since I know nothing about Scientology, David Hawkins was where I learned about this. I'm happy to say I have read nothing by Anton LaVey.

When did I say I published a book? And what does that have to do with Hawkins' Tone Scale?

With respect Hawkins scale of consciousness was verified by teams using kinesology.
He was very clear that it was an indication of the level of consciousness but that no one --no level was better than another.
He was a noted Psychiatrist with the biggestpractice in America--before he left all behind for a life of solitude and meditation.
Eventually be began to return to the world and teach..

Is it possible that David Hawkins never read any Scientology literature? Sure, because I haven't. And I'm fairly well read.

I've gone back to that book because I had a very similar enlightenment experience, as he talks about and I realize he is/was an enlightened individual.

I would have loved to have met someone like that, greybeard.

MM, I posted the outline for those who may not be familiar with the concept. It was strictly a cliff notes kind of thing. He had a profound impact on me. I thought the same thing about Pride when I was looking at the book yesterday.

Thanks for your comments. :sun:

Dr Hawkins Cd series
"The Highest Level of Enlightenment" is well worth purchasing.

Thank you for your kindness Chris. It is taken to heart.

If the highest level of enlightenment could be purchased, Deep Pocket Chopra would have sold it long ago ... ;)

[Valerie Villars]

Well, enlightenment is not all it's cracked up to be. Unless or until you get enlightened to all aspects, dark and light, you didn't get enlightened.

The purest enlightenment makes it almost impossible to navigate life in this dimension. It's such a beautiful state, you don't want to leave or have difficulty coming back. I went through a phase where money was just a laughable piece of paper (which it really is) and I was amused at the very concept of it. Unfortunately, in order to eat, you have to have some. :facepalm:

Deep Pocket Chopra. :bigsmile:

its the Cd series im suggesting purchasing---no power on earth can purchase what you already are but it takes some commitment to remove all that hides this Truth.
Those who have like the late Dr Hawkins can only point the way to what they found to be True as does Deepak

well, he certainly read this:

[Valerie Villars]

Well, Tomkat, you'll have to ask him.

[O Donna]

I think there is something to the OP and the Emotional tone scale within certain context/ scope. In contrast, IMHO, it is not the be all end all.

I categorize it as a form of script one may follow if so to choose. Like an actor choosing a script from many, choose what thy will.....and act.

Best wishes to all that partake.

[greybeard]

The whole point of the scale of consciousness was to identify what you needed to work on ---release--concepts, transcend ego etc in order to find your True Self as in Self realization.

That book was a revelation to me in the way that David Hawkins presented it, in its full form. The man is a very good writer, obviously very spiritual and I think had I ever met him, I would have been struck by his kindness.

But it was the science behind it that clinched it for me and his beautiful way of explaining it.
