Profound Yet Flawed

This is a very good book and the core of it is valuable and amazing, however there are some flaws in the kinesiological method and results, and some annoying generalizations 'metal music makes one go weak' without saying what specific music was being tested. When doing kinesiological or energy testing, one must be very specific about the subject of the test. Also, one's personal feelings and mentation can at times override proper testing (this is why he says one has to be at '300' or above to get proper results).
Dr. Hawkins has done us a great service with his research however, and seems to be very sincere. The levels of consciousness diagram is worth the price of admission.

It is a gift

Power vs. Force is a book like none other. It truly lays the ground for further spiritual work/evolution by allowing one to see all aspects of the human experience and how, in its innocence, it 'just is' and people simply are who they are. From there, compassion and forgiveness is even more of a possibility as one sees that everyone (including one's self) are simply operating with our only available tools based on our awareness. This understanding allows for the inspiration to truly see that people cannot help being what they are. This books lays this foundation and, for me, has made it much more difficult to come to hard and fast judgments about others or if I do, it at least allows for a quicker recovery from it. But the beauty of this is, that as the work (that of Dr. Hawkins') continues and one begins to maneuver through the teachings that at some point it becomes abundantly clear what the Buddha meant when he said ... "Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned." So in forgiving, we are released from the negativities we are holding onto and, in turn, benefit from releasing the burden. Hearing that may sound simple, yet truly hearing why people are the way they are (Levels of consciousness) really provides, at least it did for me, at least a moment to stop and ponder before reacting or coming to quick judgments. This book changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone who was the slightest bit dissatisfied with their angers, resentments and judgmentalisms and simply, perhaps, dissatisfied with just the way their lives are currently going. We are here to grow and be our best. Dr. Hawkins provides the tools to so and in doing so, we seem to be surrendering a very basic set of animal behaviors and trading them in for something better, something higher, something that is in alignment with spiritual principles that have been taught for thousands of years. And it seems to simply take a mere willingness to first admit that we could use improvement and then to surrender to a higher authority (God, Divinity, Almighty, etc) in stead of allowing our minds to be that authority. With God, all things are possible. That is not just a sentence, that is a very powerful reality. May we all fulfill Divine potential!

David R. Hawkins details how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. Dr. Hawkins, who worked as a "healing psychiatrist" during his long and distinguished career, uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. This is a fascinating work that will intrigue readers from all walks of life!
