 Discovery of a lifetime for those seeking truth June 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was the foundation of my own spiritual awakening and development. The CORRECT application of Dr. Hawkins' consciousness research technique provides the humble reader with a remarkably sound method of discerning truth from falsehood, such as separating the fallacious teachers (regardless of their appeal, glamorization or even "celebrity status") from those that truly provide spiritual guidance with the utmost integrity, love and compassion. Furthermore, readers (that are earnestly) seeking truth realize an expanded level of consciousness and a significant leap in spiritual development, as well as a greater understanding of ordinary yet often confusing human behavior. However, readers that are absorbed in narcissism and therefore trapped within the confines of their own egos will probably become irritated at their own inability to accurately use consciousness research. It is not for everyone, as not everyone is earnestly seeking truth. The spiritual devotee awakens upon reading Power vs. Force. This is a tremendous opportunity in learning to assess the truth of anything, and Dr. Hawkins clearly explains the simple technique and why it works.
This book changed my life! June 1, 2008

If the only thing in this book was the chart to show us the energy levels of different emotions, it would be worth FAR more than the price of the book. If you've read The Secret, Ask and It Is Given ([...]) or Lynn Grabhorn's book (Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting) you'll want to see how they tie to this book. The energy levels of different emotions along with the list of "Emotional Setpoints" from Ask and It Is Given are the two most powerful tools that have helped me to be conscious of and raise my vibration level to attract more good into my life.
This is a Must read !! May 27, 2008

I wish every religious, spiritual, and political person would read this. Not only is the True real, it's verifiable. Thank you David Hawhins.
 Pseudo-Scientific Claptrap April 21, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Hawkins has given humanity a great epistemological breakthrough- we can test the truth of any statement with Applied Kinesiology, the science of muscle tension and tone. You can try this at home- measure the truth of a proposition by standing with your arm perpendicular to your body, have someone tell you a proposition, while the person pushes your arm down. The degree of truth of the statement is indexed to how much resistance there is in your arm during the pushing. Moreover, reading books and doing critical analysis of them is superfluous. "Simply hold [books] over your solar plexus, and have somebody test your muscle strength. As you do so, your books will end up in two piles; reflection on the differences between the two can produce a revelation." (p. 124) It may even be dangerous to read. "One may think he can maintain his psychic independence by refuting the work intellectually, but mere exposure to the material has a profound negative effect that continues even after the material is intellectually rejected. It's as though, within those negative influences, there's a hidden virus whose invasion of our psyches goes unnoticed." One will be tempted to ask if this is all just a humorous, Sokal-style hoax. Sadly, the answer is no.
 Not overly inspiring April 15, 2008
Tends to be tedious and difficult. Lots of references, not inspiring and I had to force myself to finish. Mundane, interesting, but not inspiring. I expected much more especially with Dyer's glowing endorsement.
