 Excellent-you'll never look at the world the same way February 17, 2008

This is my second time around reading the book David Hawkins book Power Versus Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior Hawkins provides incredible insight into human nature. I am now looking at the world differently---I use his levels of consciousness chart to determine what is "in play". For example: take Soap Operas--or any sitcom for that matter The and ask yourself -what level of consciousness is being played out? Take the political speeches and ask yourself---what level of consciousness is the candidate portraying? It's an invaluable book for this time in history.
 utter rubbish January 30, 2008

The only way that this muscle reading method could yield truths about everything imaginable is if human beings somehow were hooked into complete knowledge about everything it could ever pop in our heads to wonder about. In other words this book assumes that we are perfect knowers of all truth if we just get past our conscious minds. It assumes that intuition trumps logic and science. But human history and our own experience gives no reason whatsoever to believe any such outlandish claim. Countless centuries of meditation, contemplation, mystical exercises, religion, philosophizing did not teach humanity the smallest part of what we have discovered through science, experimentation, observation and reason. Knowledge is not so simple to arrive as simply testing muscle tension!
As others have pointed out what scientific trappings the author attempts to cover this naked absurdity in are threadbare, badly patched together, misnamed, misunderstood and misapplied.
The only nice thing I can say about this or any author's other books is that they are well bound volumes. The contents is pure mind-rot.

This remarkable book offers a very fresh, intriguing way of looking at the world. It presents methods of determining truth as well a blueprint for spiritual growth. This book also offers clear answers to many of life's more difficult questions.
The one drawback is that it tends to stray into very technical descriptions from time to time. Stick with it though!
If only everyone would read this book.....what changes we could create!!! January 18, 2008

This is one of the most informative and instructive books that I have read in many years that can have an immediate impact on your life. It's a bit difficult in the beginning, but if you continue to read, the entire picture begins to form and the tools that you are given to cause positive changes in your life are immeasurable. I have already ordered copies for others and will continue to send everyone that I love a copy of this book.

Dr. Hawkins explains the usefulness of striving and the healing nature of higher states of awareness and makes clear the potential transformational impact such states have on global consciousness.
He explains the causes of addiction and differences in perspective surrounding issues of morality, as well as offering insight into the origins of crime, corruption and greed.
He shows that one individual who resides on the side of power offsets many individuals who act from places of force. For all the negativity in the world, this book attempts to offer a workable solution.
