At first, I thought these levels were good to know in order to find ways to develop and move up the scale, but then I read that we don't change a lot in our lives. My brain screamed, "This can't be. I've worked so hard on my spiritual journey these last few years!" Now, I'm determined to prove Dr. Hawkins wrong by continuing to improve on my recently found positive outlook and mindfulness. I'm determined to continue to be mindful that my thoughts, words and deeds affect others in a positive manner. Well, I work on the words and deeds; thoughts seem to take their own trip; maybe that's the rub. I may be a at 207 today but I'll think good thoughts and plan to be at 208 tomorrow; 600, here I come! Love to all. Deb B.
Power vs. Force Have you heard of a book called Power Vs. Force by Dr. David Hawkins? It's been around for a while and the only reason I can think that it has not crossed my path until recently is because there were mixed reviews about how scientific it was. Even so, I liked the way Dr. Hawkins ranked human states of consciousness on a negative to positive scale of 20 - 1000 from Shame (20) up to Love (500), Joy (540), Peace (600) and beyond to full enlightenment. He used a specific scientific method called Kinesiology to calibrate the states, but I'll let you read about that yourself. He claims the tipping point between Force, a state of negative consciousness, and Power, a state of more positive consciousness, is about 200. Dr. H. states, "Force always creates a counter-force; its effect is to polarize rather than unify." He calibrates that humanity as a whole has fairly recently edged up to 207, up from 190.

Hi Neha, thanks for replying. Beside Dr. Hawkin's experiments with Kinesiology, described in the book, I feel a measurement of personal self-development is just that - personal. Having said that, I would probably start by looking in my journals and describing my attributes and blocks from 5 years ago and then look at the changes as they happened each year since then. I would rate the 5 years ago "me" and the 4 year ago, etc. until I came to today and then rate the present "me". I would then describe what a better me might look like and go from there. Carolyn Myss wrote a great piece in her 6/3/24 salon about discovering and reaching the "better me". Deb B.
