能量 情绪 振动《Power Versus Force》
来自网络
科学早已揭示出，宇宙间万物的本质是能量。一切都靠能量的转变而运作。
这里要透露一个更大的秘密。所有存在的一切都有一定的意识水平和能量水平。之所以大多数人根本没有去接触经典（文学著作、音乐、绘画名作等），是因为他们的能量水平和经典的能量水平根本不相应。也就是他们无法与经典保持共振。也就理所当然的不会去读经典了。
美国著名的心理学教授，大卫·霍金斯花了30多年研究，发现存在于我们这个世界的隐藏的图表。一个有关人类所有意识的能级水平的图表。相信这会让你大吃一惊。
不论是书籍，食物，水，衣服，人，动物，建筑，汽车，电影，运动，音乐 等等统统都有一个确定的能量级。
绝大多数流行歌曲的能级都在200以下。无怪乎，很多人都表现出低意识能级下的行为。流行的文化大多数都是低意识低能级的。
大多数电影都把观众的能级降到200以下的水平。
世界上85% 的人能级都处于200以下（1994年的测量结果）。具体的说，现在（到2006年止）是78%的总人口。全人类的平均意识能级为207（1994年测试的结果）。每年还在变动，到2006 年的测量结果是204。2007年的测试结果是205。
人类集体意识能级停留在190达几百年之久，奇怪的是，在最近的10年里突然跃迁到了207。到2006年的测量结果又变成了204。2007年的测量结果为205。因此预言家关于世界末日的预言就自动破产了。（他们的预言是在人类意识水平低于200的时候做的。）如果人类长期处于低于200的能级水平，的确会给世界带来不可估量的后果，并终造成对人类的伤害。这个跟2012玛雅预言有很大的关系。
相关试验的概念和理论都经过运动机制学超过25年实践的检验。
运动机制学拥有差不多100%的准确性。它只会呈现对与错，真与假的结果。对于假的答案，肌肉是无力的，对真的答案则是强壮的。
喷洒过有机农药的苹果的实验。人造甜味剂实验。(放在口里, 那在手上, 藏在信封里, 测试者不知情的情况下都表现为肌肉无力。) 任何是假的结果的测试都得到肌肉无力的回应。有力的模式和健康相关，无力的模式和疾病相关。每一个想法，情绪，词语和行动都有各自的模式。在每个当下，我们不是趋向健康就是疾病。【这说明一个问题，我们要不是选择健康的，那就是选择了不健康的。同样的，我们选择的想法要不是积极健康向上的，那就是消极被动和负面的，除非超然到没有思维的水平上。而那个状态要达到能级500以上才能到达。】
集体意识:这些实验表明，有个更高的能量把每个人每样东西都连接了起来。而且，即使在大脑不能意识到真实的情况下，仍然能测出真实来。通过测试，人们认识到，事物的真实性在他们没有意识到时仍然是存在的。
在人类社会，少数高能级的人的能量等同于大量低能级的人的能量总和。
一个能级300的人相当于9,0000个能级低于200的人
一个能级400的人相当于40,0000个能级低于200的人
一个能级500的人相当于75,0000个能级低于200的人
一个能级600的人相当于1000,0000个能级低于200的人
一个能级700的人相当于7000,0000个能级低于200的人
12个能级700 的人相当于一个阿瓦塔（如佛陀，耶稣，克里希纳）能级在1000的人。奇妙的是，在过去的几千年里，在每一个相续的时代都有等同一个阿瓦塔的大师数量存在。刚好和所有其他低能级的人相平衡。这是宇宙更高层面的一个安排，维持地球的整体能量的平衡。随着地球进入新的时代，更多的人将迈向高能级，地球的整体能量也要提升到一定的水平。这需要更多人参与到这个全球觉醒的活动中来。更多的人要迈向开悟。更多的人要充满爱和喜悦。这也是我在此公布这个秘密的一大原因。
能级250是一个人过上有意义，顺意生活的开端。因为这是一个人出现自信的能级。
当某人的能级由于外在条件而降到200以下，他就开始丧失能量，变得更加脆弱，更加为环境所左右。
一个人有时候的能级高，其他的时候低。他的能级水平是所有这些时候的平均数。能级的起伏跟一个人的心境直接相关。
这也就解释了，为什么一个人“精神爽人逢喜事。”也就是为什么亚伯拉罕教导我们要快乐喜悦的根本所在。当你喜悦的时候，当你处于那些高能级的心境的时候，你的吸引力会是成千上万倍的增强！
细细体会一下，如果不是某个你的老师给你一个他的提示，你怎么会看到更高的可能性呢？我们古人讲“听君一席话，胜读十年书。”是不是这样呢？所以中国古人那么提倡尊重师道。所谓“一日为师，终生为父。”老师的作用的确是非比寻常啊。陈安之教导说“要和成功的人在一起。”那个意思是，成功的人有他们好的磁场，同时他们可以给你不一样的教导。这也是主动去应和吸引法则：人以类聚。
那么如何提升个人的能级呢？或许你也猜到了。就是放弃低能级的东西，和高能级的东西呆在一起。这包括具有更高能级的人，高能级的书籍、音乐、电影、录像带、画像、工艺品、温和的猫以及可爱的狗。
这里特别提出来，如果你有条件，可以考虑养一只宠物，比如猫或者狗。他们的能级都是500，对，比很多人都高多了。它们能敏捷的觉察出你当下的心境。不妨把它们作为你提醒自己的一个触发器。如果有人问，那么其他的动物呢？我得说，这里面设计的范围太广了，给你讲一个纲要性的指导：“最好选择素食型的高等动物。”很好理解，也就是说，选择的动物以食草性的比食肉性的好，高级动物比低等动物好。这里没有歧视的意思，而是大自然造化的直接结果。
这个伟大的秘密，如果你能融会贯通，将真实的改变你的一切，让你真的踏上“全新生活”的道路！后文将给你更多的提示。

附：提升自我能级方法之 <享受一周国王般的生活>
这里我要谈谈镜子的第二个大的用处——享受国王般的生活！
这是什么意思呢？你会问。
它的意思是，要敢于生活在世间存在的最美好的事物中。用一周的时间努力去过一种高雅的生活，使这个世界已经提供的最好的东西环绕在你的左右。吟诵一首优美的诗，开始阅读一本伟人的自传，欣赏一幅古代名画家的绘画，播放一张最好的唱片，听一场激动人心的演讲，与一个奋发向上、充满个人魅力的人会面，观看日出和日落的壮景，努力把自己从生活中那些毫无价值的思想、毫无价值的行动和毫无价值的关系中挣脱出来。在一周内，如果你真的只用最好的东西来填充你的生活，看看会发生什么！
啊，最美的文学作品，最优美的艺术品，最壮观的自然景象，产生出最杰出的你！只要你使世界上最精彩的事物陪伴在你身边，那么你的生活会过得和国王没有什么区别！！！
哈，对啦，你也想到了。这一切也是在营造一个高的能量场。让那些高能级的东西萦绕在你周围，自然就会引起你的高能级振动。但这只是一个开始，所说的一周是针对你从来没有那么久去保持一个高能量场而言。做到这个之后，你可以永远的保持下去。但面对你自己能级的更替，不可避免的会有一些时候，你的周遭环境会发生翻天覆地的变化。你的电脑资料会全部消失，但是你不会懊恼，反而倍感轻松。你的环境会换，新的人脉和关系等让你如鱼得水。这种能级的更替是跳跃性的，或者说是量子性的。就好比氢原子的电子跃迁一样，不是均匀渐进式的，而是跳跃性的。同样，你的能级的更替也是飞跃性的。除非你能承受更高的能级，否则这一切都不会变化。

附：各类情感的能量等级
Shame: (20)羞愧
羞愧的能量级几近死亡，它犹如是意识的自杀行为，巧妙的夺去人的生命。在羞愧的状况下，我们恨不得找个地缝钻进去，或者是希望自己能够隐身。这是一种严重摧残身心健康的状况，最终还会让我们的身体致病。
Guilt: (30)内疚
内疚感以多种方式呈现，比如懊悔，自责，受虐狂，以及所有的受害者情节都是。无意识的内疚感会导致身心的疾病，以及带来意外事故和自杀行为。它也经常表现为频繁的愤怒和疲乏。
Apathy: (50)冷淡
这个能量级表现为贫穷、失望和无助感。世界与未来都看起来没有希望。冷漠意味着无助，让人成为生活中各方面的受害者。缺乏的不止是资源，他们还缺乏运气。除非有外在的帮护者提携，否则很可能会潦倒致死。
Grief: (75)悲伤
这是悲伤、失落和依赖性的能量级。在这个能量级的人，过的是八辈子都懊丧和消沉的生活。这种生活充满了对过去的懊悔、自责和悲恸。在悲伤中的人，看这个世界都是灰黑色的。
Fear: (100)恐惧
从这个能量级来看世界，到处充满了危险、陷害和威胁。一旦人们开始关注恐惧，就真的会有数不尽的让人不安的事来临。之后会形成强迫性的恐惧，这会妨害个性的成长，最后导致压抑。因为它是让能量流向恐惧，这种压抑性的行为不能提升到更高的层次。
Desire: (125)欲望
欲望让我们耗费大量的努力去达成我们的目标，去取得我们的回报。这也是一个易上瘾的能级，不知道什么时候，一个欲望会强大到比生命本身还重要。欲望意味着累积和贪婪。愿望可以帮助我们走上有成就的道路。但是欲望却能成为到达比知晓更高层次的跳板。
Anger: (150)愤怒
如果有人能跳出冷漠和内疚的怪圈，并摆脱恐惧的控制，他就开始有欲望了，而欲望则带来挫折感，接着引发愤怒。愤怒常常表现为怨恨和复仇心里，它是易变且危险的。愤怒来自未能满足的欲望，来自比之更低的能量级。挫败感来自于放大了欲望的重要性。愤怒很容易就导致憎恨，这会逐渐侵蚀一个人的心灵。
Pride: (175)骄傲
比起其他的较低能量级，人们会觉得这个能量级是积极的。而事实上骄傲让人感觉好一些，只是相比其他更低的能量级而言。
骄傲是具有防御性和易受攻击性的，因为它是建立在外界条件下的感受。一旦条件不具备，就很容易跌入更低的能量级。自我的膨胀是骄傲自大的助推剂，而自我常常是易受攻击的。因此骄傲的演化趋势是傲慢和否认。而这些都是抵制成长的。
Courage: (200)勇气
到来200这个能量级，动力才显端倪。勇气是拓展自我、获得成就，坚忍不拔，和果断决策的根基。在比之更低的能量级，世界看起来是无助的，失望的，挫折的，恐怖的，但是到来勇气的能级，生活看起来就是激动人心的，充满挑战的，新鲜有趣的。在这个能动性的能级，人们有能力去把握生活中的机会。因此个人成长和接受教育是可行的途径。对于那些能够打击能量级低于200的人的障碍，对进化到200能级的人来说则是小菜一碟。到来这个能级的人们，总是能尽数回馈足够多的能量给这个世界。而低于这个能级的人们则是不断地从社会中汲取能量，丝毫没有回馈。
人类集体意识能级停留在190达几百年之久，奇怪的是，在最近的10年里突然跃迁到了207。到2006年的测量结果又变成了204。2007年的测量结果为205。
Neutrality: (250)淡定
到达这个能级的能量都变得很活跃了。低于250的能级，意识是趋向于分裂和刚硬性的。淡定的能级则是灵活和无分别性的看待现实中的问题。到来这个能级，意味着对结果的超然，一个人不会再经验挫败和恐惧。这是一个有安全感的能级。到来这个能级的人们，都是很容易与之相处的，而且让人感到温馨可靠。因为他们无意于争端、竞争和犯罪。这样的人总是镇定从容。他们不会去强迫别人做什么。
Willingness: (310)主动
这个意识层次可以看做是进入更高层次的一道门。在淡定的层次的人，会如实的完成工作任务。但是在主动层次的人，通常会出色的完成任务，并极力获得成功。这个能级的人的成长是迅速的，他们是为人类进步而预备的人选。低于200能级的人，他们的思想是封闭的，但是能级为310的人们则是全然敞开的。这个能级的人，通常是真诚而友善的，也易于取得社交和经济上的成功。他们总能有助于人，并且对社会的进步做出贡献来。他们也乐意面对内在的状况，也不存在较大的学习障碍。鉴于他们具有从逆境中崛起并学到经验的能力，他们都能够自我调整。由于已经释放了骄傲，他们能够看到自己的不足，并学习别人的优点。
Acceptance: (350)宽容
在这个能级，一个巨大的转变会发生，那就是了解到自己才是自己命运的主宰，自己才是自己生活的创造者。低于200能级的人则是没有力量的，通常视自己为受害者，完全受生活所左右。这个看法的根源是，认为一个人的幸福和苦难来自某个“外在”的东西。在宽容的能级，没有什么“外在”能让一个人快乐，爱也不是谁能给或夺走的，这些都来自内在。宽容意味着让生活如它本来的样子，并不刻意去塑造成一个特定的模式。在这个能级的人不会对判断对错感兴趣，相反的，对如果解决困难他们则乐于参与。他们更在意长期目标，良好的自律和自控是他们显著的特点。
Reason: (400)明智
超越了感情化的较低能量级，就进入有理智和智能的阶段。这是科学、医学以及概念化和理解能力形成的能级。知识和教育在这里成为资历。这是诺贝尔奖金获得者、大政治家和高级法庭审判长的能级。爱因斯坦，弗洛伊德，以及很多其他历史上的思想家都是这个能级。这个能级的人的缺点是，过于关注对符号和符号所代表的意义的区分。明智并不能让人走向真理。它只是能制造出大量的信息和文档，但是缺乏解决数据和结果差异性的能力。明智本身是通往更高能级的一个最大障碍。在我们的社会中能超越这个能级的人凤毛麟角。
Love: (500)爱
这里的爱并非通常意义上各种媒体所描述的爱。通常意义上的爱，很容易就带上愤怒和依赖的面具。这种爱一旦受到挫折，立马就能转变成愤恨。引发愤恨的爱是来源于骄傲而不是真的爱。
这个500能级的爱是无条件的爱，是不变更的爱，是永久性的爱。这种爱不会动摇，它不是来自外界因素。爱是存在的基本状态。爱是宽容，滋养和维持这个世界的。它不是知性的爱，不是来自头脑的爱，它是发自心灵的爱。爱是总是聚焦在生活美好的那一面上，并且增大积极的经验。这是一个真正幸福的能级。
世界上只有0.4%的人曾经达到这个意识进化的层次。
Joy: (540)喜悦
当爱变得越来越无限的时候，它开始发展成为内在的喜悦。这是在每一个当下，从内在而非外在升起的喜悦。540能级也是拥有治疗和精神独立的能级。由此往上，就是很多圣人和高级修行者以及治疗师的能级。这个能级的人的特点是，他们具有巨大的耐性，以及对一再显现的困境具有持久的乐观态度，以及慈悲。到达这个能级的人对其他人有显著的影响。他们持久性的关注，会带来爱和平静。
在能级超过500的人看来，这个世界充满了闪亮的美丽和完美的创造。一切都毫不费力的同时发生着。在他们开来是稀松平常的作为，却会被平常人当成是奇迹来看待。濒死体验在他们的转变中特征性的出现，这也让他们体验到能量浮动在540-600之间的经验。
Peace: (600)平和
这个能量层级和所谓的卓越、自我实现以及基督意识有关。它非常稀有，一千万人当中才有一个人能够达到。而一旦达到这个能级，内与外的区分就消失了，感官被关闭了。在能级 600及其以上的人的感知如同慢镜头一样，时空悬停了——没有什么是固定的了，所有的一切都生机勃勃并光芒四射。虽然在其他人眼里这个世界还是老样子，但是在这人眼里世界却是一个，和宇宙源头进化一起协同舞蹈的，不断浮动进化的流转。
这是一种非同寻常、无法言语的现象，所以头脑保持长久的沉默，不再分析判断。观察者和被观察者成为同一个人，观照者消融在观照中，成为观照本身。能级为600到700之间的艺术作品、音乐和建筑能临时性的，把我们带到通常认为的通灵的和永恒的状态中。
Enlightenment: (700 – 1000)开悟
这是历史上所有创立了精神模范，让无数人历代跟随的伟人的能级。这是强大灵感的能级，这些人的诞生，形成了影响全人类的引力场。在这个能级不再有个体与个体之间的分离感，取而代之的是意识与神性的合一。
这是人类意识进化的顶峰。到来这个能级，不再对身体有“我”的执着，不再对其有关注。身体成了意识降临头脑的一个工具，它的首要价值就是连接这两者。这是非二元性的，是完全合一的能级。在历史上达到这么高智慧能级的人，这些伟大的“阿瓦塔”（Avatar,道成肉身的神），用“主”来称呼最为合适，他们是：主克里希纳，主佛陀，和主耶稣基督。
一个人有时候的能级高，其他的时候低。他的能级水平是所有这些时候的平均数。能级的起伏跟一个人的心境直接相关。

爱因斯坦的质能方程式说明：物质就是能量。
物理学家已经证明，我们这个世界上所有的固体都是由旋转的粒子组成的。这些粒子有着不同的振动频率，粒子的振动使我们的世界表现成目前的样子。我们的人身也是如此。科学家已经测量过人在不同的体格和精神状态下身体的振动频率，结果让人大开眼界。
戴维·R.·霍金斯 (David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force )通过20多年的研究表明，人的身体会随着精神状况而有强弱的起伏。他把人的意识映像到1-1000的范围(注2)。任何导致人的振动频率低于200的状态会削弱身体，而从200到1000的频率则使身体增强。霍金斯发现，诚实、同情和理解能增强一个人的意志力，改变身体中粒子的振动频率，进而改善身心健康。
死人的频率没有意义，邪念会导致最低的频率;当你想着下流的邪念，你就在削弱自己。渐高依次是恶念、冷漠、痛悔、害怕与焦虑、渴求、发火和怨恨、傲慢，这些全都对你有害。
但信任在250是中性的，信任有益于你。
再往上的频率依次是温和、乐观、宽容、理智和理解、关爱和尊敬、高兴和安详、平静和喜悦在600，开悟(enlightenment)在700-1000。
他遇到过的最高最快频率是700，出现在他研究特里萨修女(1910-1997, 获1997年诺贝尔和平奖)的时候。当特里萨修女走进屋子里的一瞬间，在场所有人的心中都充满了幸福，她的出现使人们几乎想不起任何杂念和怨恨。1000 被称为是神的意志或精神，这是绝对力量的频率，甚或更高。传说耶稣在村子里的出现使围上来的人们心里除了耶稣什么都没有。

Calibration of consciousness by David R Hawkins
Dr. David Hawkins -Map of Consciousness
Understanding the Levels of Consciousness
Dr. David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD developed a “map” of the levels of human consciousness (also called the Scale of Consciousness) that uses a muscle-testing technique called Applied Kinesiology (AK) to document the nonlinear, spiritual realm. The research was scientifically-validated and published in Dr. Hawkins’ doctorate dissertation titled Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibrations of the Level of Human Consciousness, an elaborate discussion of the Scale of Consciousness and its significance as outlined in his groundbreaking book, Power vs. Force: The Anatomy of Consciousness (Veritas Publishing, 1995).
Briefly, each level of consciousness (LOC) coincides with determinable human behaviors and perceptions about life and God. Each level represents a corresponding attractor field of varying strength that exists beyond our three-dimensional reality. There’s a critical point within each LOC from which its field gravitates (or entrains).
The numbers on the scale represent logarithmic calibrations (measurable vibratory frequencies on a scale which increases to the tenth power) of the levels of human consciousness and its corresponding level of reality. The numbers themselves are arbitrary; the significance lies in the relationship of one number (or level) to another (e.g., Dr. Hawkins’ scale is from 1 to 1000).
The Great Barrier
Dr. Hawkins points out that the two greatest spiritual growth barriers seem to be at level 200 and 500. Two hundred, the level of courage, represents a profound shift from destructive and harmful behavior to life-promoting and integrous lifestyles; everything below 200 makes one go weak using kinesiology. Currently, approximately 78% of the world’s population is below this significant level. The destructive capacity of this majority drags down all of mankind without the counterbalancing effect of the 22% above 200. Because the scale of consciousness is logarithmic, each incremental point represents a giant leap in power. As such, one person calibrated at 600 counterbalances the negativity of 10 million people below 200.
The second great barrier is level 500—Love. Love in this context is a way of being in the world—not an emotionality as most of us perceive it. According to Dr. Hawkins, the reason the level of love is so difficult to achieve is because our ego is so rooted in the physical domain as opposed to the spiritual domain, which emerges at 500. The 400s represent the level of reason, guided by the linear, mechanistic world of form (our modern society that includes advancements in medicine, science, government, etc). Interestingly, the top echelon of intellectual genius, including Einstein, Freud, Newton, Aristotle, etc., all calibrated around 499. The 500s represent a very difficult hurdle as only four percent of the world’s population calibrates in the 500s. This level denotes a shift from the linear, provable domain (classic physics or Newtonian physics) to the nonlinear, formless, spiritual realm.
A person’s LOC remains rather steady through the lifetime. Emotions come and go like the passing wind, but a person’s calibratable LOC is governed by specific energy fields in the nonlinear domain which generally doesn’t waver. Over the course of a lifetime, the average person’s LOC will change approximately five points (this is not a statistical derivation, but an average discovered through Dr. Hawkins’ kinesiologic research). However, it is possible for an individual (such as a spiritual aspirant) to have their LOC jump (or drop) hundreds of points in a single lifetime. -RE: Power Vs. Force, by Dr. David Hawkins, scribed by Scott Jeffery
I was lucky to experience Dr. Hawkins while attending his lecture on Transcending the Levels of Consciousness three years ago in Novato, California. His Joy for life radiated into the audience during his lecture. There is something about the beauty of ‘truth’ that is recognizable. I’ve never been so excited about life and the path towards more knowledge of our existence! I nearly levitated out of my seat! Hawkins stated that once given a glimpse of the state of Enlightenment, nothing on earth will ever quench your thirst again!
The following information is designed as a quick reference tool for Dr. Hawkins’ students who are familiar with the Map of Consciousness. To fully understand this Map of the Scale of Consciousness within the proper context, it’s important to read Dr. Hawkins’ book, Power vs. Force.
Level Log
Enlightenment 700-1000
Peace 600
Joy 540
Love 500
Reason 400
Acceptance 350
Willingness 310
Neutrality 250
Courage 200
Below 200 (Below the critical level of integrity):
Pride 175
Anger 150
Desire 125
Fear 100
Grief 75
Apathy 50
Guilt 30 (c) 1995 David R. Hawkins
These levels determine the reason why people behave the way they do.
These levels can be divided into positive energy-giving levels and negative energy-taking levels. The negative levels from the lowest to the highest are: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride. The positive levels are: courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment.
He claims that, although there may be times when we function at different levels of consciousness, we in general operate at one particular level. This can be considered our core level. It is here where I would like to explain these different levels and hopefully inspire you to move beyond your current state.
Shame
According to Hawkins, this is one step above death. At this level, the primary emotion one feels is humiliation. It’s not surprising that this level, being so close to death, is where most thoughts of suicide are found. Those who suffer from sexual abuse are often found here, and without therapy they tend to remain here.
Guilt
Not too far from shame is the level of guilt. When one is stuck in this level, feelings of worthlessness and an inability to forgive oneself are common.
Apathy
The level of hopelessness and despair; this is the common consciousness found among those who are homeless or living in poverty. At this level, one has abdicated themselves to their current situation and feels numb to life around them.
Grief
Many of us have felt this at times of tragedy in our lives. However, having this as your primary level of consciousness, you live a life of constant regret and remorse. This is the level where you feel all your opportunities have passed you by. You ultimately feel you are a failure.
Fear
People living under dictatorship rule or those involved in an abusive relationship find themselves at this level. There is a sense of paranoia here, where you think everyone is out to get you. Suspicion and defensiveness are common.
Desire
Desire is a major motivator for much of our society. Although desire can be an impetus for change, the downside is that it leads to enslavement to ones appetites. This is the level of addiction to such things as sex, money, prestige, or power.\
Anger
As one moves out of Apathy to Grief and then out of Fear, they begin to want. Desire which is not fulfilled leads to frustration which brings us to Anger. This anger can cause us to move out of this level or keep us here.
Pride
According to Hawkins, since the majority of people are below this point, this is the level that most people aspire to. It makes up a good deal of Hollywood. In comparison to Shame and Guilt, one begins to feel positive here. However, it’s a false positive. It’s dependent upon external conditions such as wealth, position or power. It is also the source of racism, nationalism, and religious fanaticism.
Courage
This is the level of empowerment. It is the first level where you are not taking life energy from those around you. Courage is where you see that you don’t need to be tossed to and fro by your external conditions. This empowerment leads you to the realization that you are a steward unto yourself, and that you alone are in charge of your own growth and success. This is what makes you inherently human: the realization that there is a gap between stimulus and response and that you have the potential to choose how to respond.
Neutrality
Neutrality is the level of flexibility. To be neutral, you are, for the most part, unattached to outcomes. At this level, you are satisfied with your current life situation and tend not to have a lot of motivation towards self improvement or excellence in your career. You realize the possibilities but don’t make the sacrifices required to reach a higher level.
Willingness
Those people around you that are perpetual optimists – this is their level of consciousness. Seeing life as one big possibility is the cornerstone of those operating here. No longer are you satisfied with complacency – you strive to do your best at whatever task you’ve undertaken. You begin to develop self-discipline and willpower and learn the importance of sticking to a task till the end.
Acceptance
If Courage is the realization that you are the source of your life’s experiences, then it is here where you become the creator of them. Combined with the skills learned in the Willingness phase, you begin to awaken your potential through action. Here’s where you begin to set and achieve goals and to actively push yourself beyond your previous limitations. Up to this point you’ve been generally reactive to what life throws at you. Here’s where you turn that around, take control, and become proactive.
Reason
The level of science, medicine, and a desire for knowledge. Your thirst for knowledge becomes insatiable. You don’t waste time in activities that do not provide educational value. You begin to categorize all of life and its experiences into proofs, postulates, and theories. The failure of this level is you cannot seem to separate the subjective from the objective, and because of that, you tend to miss the point. You fail to see the forest because you’re tunnel-visioned on the trees. Paradoxically, Reason can become a stumbling block for further progressions of consciousness.
Love
Only if, in the level of Reason you start to see yourself as a potential for the greater good of mankind, will you have enough power to enter here. Here is where you start applying what was learned in your reasoning and you let the heart take over rather than the mind – you live by intuition. This is the level of charity – a selfless love that has no desire except for the welfare of those around them. Gandhi and Mother Theresa are examples of people who were living at this level. Only 0.4 percent of the world will ever reach it.
Joy
This is the level of saints and advanced spiritual people. As love becomes more unconditional, there follows a constant accompaniment of true happiness. No personal tragedy or world event could ever shake someone living at this level of consciousness. They seem to inspire and lift all those who come in contact with them. Your life is now in complete harmony with the will of Divinity and the fruits of that harmony are expressed in your joy.
Peace
Peace is achieved after a life of complete surrender to the Creator. It is where you have transcended all and have entered that place that Hawkins calls illumination. Here, a stillness and silence of mind is achieved, allowing for constant revelation. Only 1 in 10 million (that’s .00001 percent) people will arrive at this level.
Enlightenment
This is the highest level of human consciousness where one has become like God. Many see this as Christ, Buddha, or Krishna. These are those who have influenced all of mankind.
Hawkins’ Power vs. Force and his associated map of consciousness has been a groundbreaking work for those interested in human-consciousness development. In this continuum we can clearly see where we as individuals function and where we can arrive. A view into what could be our potential is inspiring.
It’s interesting to note that according to Hawkins, everything that is around us can effect our level of consciousness: the music we listen to, the people with whom we associate, the books we read, the shows that we watch, etc. After reading this book, I began to see myself and those around me in a different light. I guess you could say I felt more compassion for others. We are all at different levels of consciousness and are functioning according to the light and knowledge that we’ve obtained. This has helped me to better understand what drives people and why they make specific choices.
How can you raise your own level of consciousness? I would suggest first to figure out where you presently are – awareness is always the first step. Learn from the Great Ones who are the source of the ‘wisdom literature’ of your tradition and try to live the principles taught in those books. As you raise your own level, you will discover a desire to help others and you’ll be a source of positive change for yourself and the world.
In the 1960s, Dr. John Goodheart developed Applied Kinesiology (AK) into a practical diagnostic technique used mainly by chiropractors and holistic health practitioners. Based on the principle that “your body doesn’t lie,” AK or muscle testing assists these practitioners in uncovering what is going on in the body as well as determining whether or not a specific remedy would be beneficial. By testing the instantaneous response of a particular muscle, AK practitioners are able to more clearly navigate the complexities of the human body: If a tested muscle stayed strong, a substance was good for the body, and if it went weak, it was not.
Psychiatrist Dr. John Diamond further expanded Dr. Goodheart’s work by discovering that different images, paintings, music, games and material affect the body. For example, he found that classical music makes people go strong, while rap music makes everyone go weak. Similarly, synthetic clothing makes you weak and natural fibers make you strong. The implications of Dr. Diamond’s work, called Behavioral Kinesiology (BK), were profound: Everything we interact with either strengthens or weakens our life energy.
Psychiatrist Dr. David R. Hawkins realized the universality of muscle testing response—“what is good for you is good for me.” To test the hypothesis, Dr. Hawkins put a thousand people in a room, each with a sealed envelope. Half the room was given organic vitamin C and the other half a packet of NutraSweet. None of the participants were aware of the content of their envelope. Each person was tested using muscle testing (as described in the next section). The result was that half of the room went weak while the other half stayed strong. The 500 hundred people who went weak were holding the envelope with NutraSweet and the 500 hundred who stayed strong had the organic vitamin C—Dr. Hawkins had uncovered physiologic testings usefulness as the ultimate truth detector.
By following a simple procedure and making a clearly defined statement, one’s muscles either stay strong or go weak. Statements can be asked about anyone or anything from past to present. You can calibrate the level of truth of a politician, a Fortune 500 CEO or your next-door neighbor. Want to determine the validity of a new scientific theory? Test it. You don’t need to know anything about the topic in order to test a statement. The answer you receive from the kinesiologic response transcends your own knowledge and beliefs; you are accessing the infinite intelligence of the collective field (or Collective Unconscious) that binds us together.
Interestingly, physiologic testing calibrates at 600—the level of nonduality—which means the technique itself transcends a complete intellectual (i.e. linear) understanding of the phenomenon. When one muscle-testing in the above fashion, one is accessing the timeless, spaceless, database of consciousness itself. -Scott Jeffery
Quotes by Dr. David R. Hawkins
Quotes from The Eye of the I:
We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become. Thus, every spiritual aspirant serves the world. (Eye, 69)
To let go of the known for the unknown requires great commitment, willingness, and devotion to surrendering one’s faith to God. (Eye, 110)
There is no inner ‘thinker’ behind thoughts, no ‘doer’ behind actions, no ‘seeker’ of enlightenment. Seeking occurs on its own when the time is right, and it emerges as a focus of attention. All aspects and qualities of consciousness are self-actuating and energize each other under the general direction of the will. (Eye, 132)
It is the ultimate human paradox that man’s dependence on perception precludes his being able to know his own identity. (Eye, 220)
There is absolutely nothing in ordinary human experience to compare with the joy of the presence of the Love of God. No sacrifice is too great nor effort too much in order to realize that Presence. (Eye, 289)
The true destiny of man is to realize the truth of the divinity of one’s source and creator which is ever present within that which has been created and is the creator—the Self. (Eye, 87)
To understand the nature of God, it is necessary only to know the nature of love itself. To truly know love is to know and understand God; and to know God is to understand love. (Eye, 88)
In reality, everything occurs of its own, with no exterior cause. Every thing and every event is a manifestation of the totality of All That Is, just as it is at any given moment. Once seen in its totality, everything is perfect at all times and nothing needs an external cause to change it in any way. From the viewpoint of the ego’s positionality and limited scope, the world seems to need endless fixing and correction. This illusion collapses as a vanity.
In Reality, everything is automatically manifesting the inherent destiny of its essence; it doesn’t need any external help to do this. With humility, one can relinquish the ego’s self-appointed role as savior of the world and surrender it straight to God. The world that the ego pictures is a projection of its own illusions and arbitrary positionalities. No such world exists. (Eye, 107)
At some point, the illusion breaks down and the opening for the start of the spiritual quest commences. The quest turns from without to within and the search for answers begins. (Eye, 115)
Q: Where does one begin the search for spiritual truth self-realization called enlightenment? A: It is simple. Begin with who and what you are. All truth is found within. Use verified teachings as a guide. (Eye, 175)
Like springtime, the promise of a new era in man’s understanding of God is emerging. Now the level of consciousness of mankind is high enough to be able to recognize the truth of a God of Love instead of worshipping the god of guilt and hate. (Eye, 76)
It is helpful to remember that neither Truth nor Enlightenment is something to be found, sought, acquired, gained, or possessed. That which is the Infinite Presence is always present and its realization occurs of itself when the obstacles to that realization are removed. It is therefore not necessary to study the truth but only to let go of that which is fallacious. Moving away the clouds does not cause the sun to shine but merely reveals that which was hidden all along. Spiritual work, therefore, is primarily a letting go of the presumably known for the unknown, with the promise of others who have done it that the effort is more than well rewarded at the end. (Eye, 117)
In turn, every advance that we make in our awareness benefits unseen multitudes and strengthens the next step for others to follow. Every act of kindness is noticed by the universe and is preserved forever. (Eye, 118)
The radiance of God is the light of awareness that reveals the divinity of all that exists. In the stillness of the Infinite Presence, the mind is silent as there is nothing that can be said; all speaks of itself with completeness and exactitude. With this realization one transcends the final duality of existence versus nonexistence because only existence is possible. The opposite of Truth does not exist because Reality excludes non-reality. In this realization resides the peace of God. (Eye, 118)
Nothing in the universe happens by chance or accident. The universe is a coherent concurrence and interaction of innumerable conditions attendant on the infinite number of energy patterns. In the state of Awareness, all this is obvious and can be clearly seen and known. Outside that level of awareness, it could be likened to innumerable, invisible magnetic fields which automatically coalesce or repel one’s position and which interact according to the positions and relative strengths and polarities. Everything influences everything else and is in perfect balance. (Eye, 170)
What the people in the world actually want is the recognition of who they really are on the highest level, to see that the same Self radiates forth within everyone, heals their feeling of separation, and brings about a feeling of peace. To bring peace and joy to others is the gift of the benevolence of the Presence. (Eye, 91)
Much relief is experienced when we realize that by adopting a spiritual life, righteous condemnation and the hate that ensures from it can be left to others. This pursuit of the spiritual ‘good’ benefits all mankind, and it could therefore be said to be the most praiseworthy vocation of all. (Eye, 67)
Spiritual progress is based on acceptance as a matter of free will and choice and thus everyone experiences only the world of their own choosing. The universe is totally free of victims and all eventualities are the unfolding of inner choice and decision. (Eye, 61)
The experience of the presence of God is available and within at all times, but awaits choice. That choice is made only by surrendering everything other than peace and love to God. In return, the divinity of the Self reveals Itself as ever present but not experienced because it has been ignored or forgotten, or one has chosen otherwise. (Eye, 48)
Spiritual truth, then, is universally true and without variation through time or place. It always brings peace, harmony, accord, love, compassion, and mercy. Truth can be identified by these qualities. All else is the invention of the ego. (Eye, 40)
Peace is literally a choice and a decision, although not a popular one in our society despite all the rhetoric about the term. The decision to overlook the seeming inequities of life instead of reacting to them is a choice. (Eye, 198)
When perception ceases, the world of wonder reveals itself. Consciousness is in all that exists. It recognizes itself manifesting as the Allness of Creation. (Eye, 228)
In reality, the love of God, like the sun, shines equally on all. (Eye, 235)
In the Reality of non-duality, there is neither privilege nor gain nor loss nor rank. Just like a cork in the sea, each spirit rises or falls in the sea of consciousness to its own level by virtue of its own choices, and not by any external force or favor. Some are attracted by the light and some seek the darkness, but it all occurs of its own nature by virtue of divine freedom and equality. (Eye, 262)
Q: What prayers are useful? A: Ask to be the servant of the Lord, a vehicle of divine love, a channel of God’s will. Ask for direction and divine assistance and surrender all personal will through devotion. Dedicate one’s life to the service of God. Choose love and peace above all other options. Commit to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life in all its expression and surrender all judgment to God. (Eye, 201)
Quotes from I: Reality & Subjectivity:
When one realizes that one is the universe, complete and at one with All That Is, forever without end, no further suffering is possible. (I, xxii)
The destiny of the spirit will be for better or worse, depending on the choices and decisions one makes. (I, 154)
Beliefs are the determinants of what one experiences. There are no external ‘causes.’ (I, 22)
Thus, if we take responsibility for being the author of our world, we come close to its source where we can correct it. (I, 22)
The soul is the author of its own fate by the exercise of its own choice and selection. (I, 24)
Truth has no opposites, such as falsity or ‘off-ness.’ Nothing is hidden from the field of consciousness.
The level of consciousness is determined by the choices made by the spiritual will and therefore is the consequence as well as the determinant of karma. Freedom to evolve requires a world which affords the greatest opportunity to ascend or descend the spiritual ladder. Viewed from that perspective, this is an ideal world and its society is constituted by a wide range of experiential options. (I, 80)
Exploration is innate to mankind, and its highest levels lead to spiritual inquiry. This brings up the questions of who am I, what am I, where did I come from, what is the origin and destiny of the self, and who and where is God. (I, 117)
The human mind is incapable of discerning truth from falsehood. (I, 117)
The spiritual aspirant, therefore, is wise to detach from all positionalities and opinions and be willing to surrender the ego’s temporary satisfactions for a higher goal. (I, 177)
All life ebbs and flows. Everyone is born, suffers afflictions, and dies. There are happiness and sadness, catastrophe and success, increase and decrease. The stock market rises and falls. Diseases and accidents come and go. The karmic dance of life unfolds in the karmic theatre of the universe.
All reactions to life are subjective. There is nothing happening that is awful, exciting, sad, good, or bad. It is pointless to hold a position that catastrophes shouldn’t ‘happen’ or that the innocent ‘didn’t deserve it’, or ‘isn’t it awful’, or ‘it must be somebody’s fault’. With a broad view, one can remain unperturbed by either the content or the context of life. That requires giving up judgments, expectations, or ‘sensitivities’ (I, 179)
In as much as the entire universe and everything in it is a karmic unity, the Allness of Reality is the realization of enlightenment. If all is a karmic unity that originates from the same source, then to see any separation is an artifact of perception. In Reality, the one and the many are the same. (I, 251)
Be passionate for God, not for belief systems. That is the only real decision that has to be made and can be applied to any and all situations. The question is always whether to be at the effect of the world or aligned with the Truth of God instead. The search for enlightenment is different from that of seeking worldly success. (I, 355)
The world of the ego is like a house of mirrors through which the ego wanders, lost and confused, as it chases the images in one mirror after another. Human life is characterized by endless trials and errors to escape the maze. At times, for many people, and possibly for most, the world of mirrors becomes a house of horrors that gets worse and worse. The only way out of the circuitous wanderings is through the pursuit of spiritual truth. (I, 393)
At every instant, one is really making a choice between heaven or hell. The cumulative effect of all these choices determines the calibrated level of consciousness and one’s karmic and spiritual fate. (I, 397)
At first, spiritual purification seems difficult, but eventually, it becomes natural. To consistently choose love, peace, or forgiveness leads one out of the house of mirrors. The joy of God is so exquisite that any sacrifice is worth the effort and seeming pain.
