In his breakthrough book, Power vs. Force, David Hawkins, MD., Ph.D., discusses a map of theenergy fields of consciousness. On a scale of 0 - lOOO, where 700 - 1000 is enlightenment, hecalibrates levels which correlate with specific processes of consciousness - emotions. perceptionsor attitudes, world-views and spiritual beliefs.

Map of Consciousness

Log Level God-view Life-view Emotion Process

700-1000 Enlightenment Self Is Ineffable Pure Consciousness

600 Peace All-Being Perfect Bliss Illumination

540 Joy One Complete Serenity Transfiguration

500 Love Loving Benign Reverence Revelation

400 Reason Wise Meaningful Understanding Abstraction

350 Acceptance Merciful Harmonious Forgiveness Transcendence

310 Willingness Inspiring Hopeful Optimism Intention

250 Neutrality Enabling Satisfactory Trust Release

200 Courage Permitting Feasible Affumation Empowerment

175 Pride Indifferent Demanding Scorn Inflation

150 Anger Vengeful Antagonistic Hate Aggression

125 Desire Denying Disappointing Craving Enslavement

lOO Fear Punitive Frightening Anxiety Withdrawal

75 Grief Disdainful Tragic Regret Despondency

50 Apathy Condemning Hopeless Despair Abdication

30 Guilt Vindication Evil Blame Destruction

20 Shame Despising Miserable Humiliation Elimination

All levels below 200 are destructive of life in both the individual and society at large. All levelsabove 200 are constructive expressions of power. Levels of consciousness are always mixed, sothat a person may operate at one level of consciousness in one area of life and on a different levelin other areas.

These figures do not represent an arithmetic,but a logarithmic progression. Therefore 300is not twice the amplitude of 150; it is 300 tothe tenth power. An increase of even a fewpoints therefore represents a major advancein power. People who resonate at high levelshave a tremendous effect on the entireconsciousness of the planet. As more andmore people lift their consciousness, theentire world becomes affected.

Everything affects your vibratory frequencyand state of consciousness. Your beliefs,world view, self esteem, friends and family,diet and lifestyle, language and readingmaterial, home and work environment,spiritual practices, career, sports and leisureactivities, movies, music and television, thepolitical system you live in and where youput your focus (giving to others vs. trying toget things from others) all influence whereyour consciousness resides.

The Physical and Emotional Effects ofBeing in States Below 200

A person's physical and emotional health isaffected by the consciousness they areresonating at. If someone is vibrating at alevel below 50, they will have very low selfesteem and feel responsible for the mess theirlife is in. They will often experience lowenergy and poor health. Their beliefs willreflect and support this state ofconsciousness and will further perpetuatetheir lack of worthiness and powerlessness.One way to help free a person from thesestates is to have them tap specificacupressure points(SI 3) as they state, "Ideeply and completely love and acceptmyself (which pulls them up above 200) eventhough I fell o (guilt, shame or whatever theemotion they are stuck in)."

A person resonating around 75 may have losta loved one and be stuck in grief. Perhapsthey decided that life was not worth livingbecause their loved one is no longer with

them. If they stay at this level ofconsciousness, cancer and other degenerativediseases can develop. They can create a moreempowering meaning of their loved onespassing to raise their vibration and freethemselves from their grief. One belief theycould hold is that death is the moving fromthe physical form into the spiritual realm, likea caterpillar becoming a butterfly. It is ajourney we all will eventually take and oneday we will be reunited with our loved oneswhen we make that journey. Focusing on thisbelief will not only ease their emotional pain,but also clear energetic imbalances to supporthealth and well-being.

Those who resonate in a state of fear (100)will often see situations and people aroundthem as threatening. They may experiencenervous disorders, gastrointestinal upset andkidney problems. Their outlook is thatsomething bad is about to happen and theywill try to do what they can to avoid that. Torise above 200 they could shift their focus tothe good that surrounds them. By beingproactive and focusing on positive emotionsand expectations they will actually have morepower to draw good into their life.

A person resonating at 150 in a state of angerwill tend to see people as threatening to theircontrol. They will try to manipulate othersand situations to go the way they want themto. If things don't go their way they get angryand upset, blaming others for theirmisfortune. People who hold onto anger oftendevelop heart disease, liver problems or othermaladies. By raising their consciousness tolevels above 200 and focusing on acceptance,forgiveness and understanding, true healingcan begin to take place both physically andmentally.

The two most important factors to raisingyour consciousness is where you put yourfocus and the meaning you make of thingsthat happen to you. In states below 200

people's focus is primarily on themselves.Above 200 their focus is primarily on others.Buckminster Fuller once said, "The older Iget the happier I become, because I amgetting less and less preoccupied withmyself."

People in states below 200 tend to hold ontopast events and create a disempoweringmeaning about them. In the states of 200 andabove, the focus is more on being acceptingand present to what is, without coloring itwith the past. People in these states acceptthe past and look for opportunities to createnew possibilities in the future.

Power vs. Force Applied to VariousAspects of Life

True power lives in states above 200. Force,which exists in the states below 200, does nothave lasting power. An example of this inpolitics is Gandhi. He is a great example ofhow the power of one man resonating at avery high vibration can defeat the force of anentire army. His power came not in weaponsof destruction, but in kind words. He did notcome from fear, anger or greed. His actionswere born of love, reason and reverence for alllife.

Martin Luther King followed in Gandhi'sfootsteps preaching nonviolence andtolerance in his approach to equal rights anddignity for blacks. There was no room foranger, hatred and aggression in his powerfulmessage of freedom for "all God's children".

The Power vs. Force can be applied topersonal relationships. The lower statescontain judgment, blame, aggression, fear,greed and separateness. The only way tohave a truly successful and satisfyingrelationship is to come from the higher stateswhere love, acceptance and respect arenatural expressions.

A business which resonates below 200 isdoomed for failure, whereas one that is based

in the higher states is more assured to be asuccess. Wal-Mart vs. Enron is a case inpoint. The spirit of the Wal-Mart companyresonates at a very high vibration driving itssuccess. When you walk into one of theirstores, there is an employee at the doorgreeting you with a loving smile. Theemployees of Enron were shown the door bythe executives who were filled with greed anddeceit. Enron's approach to business had nopower to create or sustain success. To besuccessful in business focus on servingothers, not yourself. Zig Zigler says, "Helpenough other people get what they want andyou will get what YOIl want. "

A "war" on drugs can never be won. If ourapproach to clearing up the drug problem isbased on aggression and a lack of acceptanceand understanding. it will perpetuate theoccurrence of drug use. The 12 StepPrograms, which incorporate principles fromhigher states of consciousness, have beentremendously successful worldwide inhelping people free themselves from a stateof desire (125), where addictions are born.This organization, which resonates above350, has tremendous power to lift up peoplewho follow its principles to states above 200.

Attractor Fields

Hawkins discusses what he calls attract orfields, which are magnetic resonances ofconsciousness which draw energy towardsus. When we vibrate at a level of love andjoy, we attract people, events andcircumstances that are in harmony with thatstate of being. Coming from a state of fear,anger or grief often results in further eventsand situations that will reinforce that state.

From this perspective our game in life canbecome one of raising our consciousness todraw health, happiness and success to us,rather than dwelling in a state ofdiscontentment trying to manipulate theouter world to try to make us happy. Tony

Robbins says, "Happily achieve. rather thanachieve to be happy. "

If you resonate in a state of desire (125) andtry to acquire more material objects thinkingthat this will bring you more peace and joy,you will remain in a state of desire. Even ifyou get what you are looking for, fulfillmentof those desires will not bring lasting peace.Once the fleeting gratification wears off, fearof loss of what you've attained or desire forsomething else will fill the void.

A person who truly lives in a state of innerpeace is not dependent on outsidecircumstances to assure lasting peace.Attaining this state is one of the quests of allspiritual disciplines, finding the "kingdom ofheaven" within.

The Use of Muscle Testing

Hawkins suggests using muscle testing tocalibrate the vibratory rate of anything youwish to test. He makes statements such as,"This person's overall consciousnesscalibrates at a level higher than 200." Test."Higher than 250." Test, etc. By testing astrong indicator muscle to see if you get astrong, "yes" response, or weak, "no"response, you can continue testing until youfind the highest number which tests strong todetermine the level on the relative scale fromo to 1000. Remember that we can resonate atone level in our business life and an entirelydifferent level in other aspects of our life.When checking for overall consciousness it isan average.

If you have a major decision to make, such asa career choice, you could state as above,"This career for me calibrates at a levelgreater than 200." Test. Check all of yourcareer choices to get more input as to whichmove would be in your highest good.

This testing can be applied to anything, suchas: the people we associate with, our beliefs,our language, books and reading material,

spiritual leaders, political candidates,television and movies, sports and leisureactivities. food and beverages. In most casesit is sufficient to test whether you get astrong response (indicating what you aretesting is resonating above 200) or a weakresponse (indicating it resonates below 200).The bottom line is to avoid things that arebelow 200 and incorporate things above 200into your consciousness.

With a yes or no test of an indicator muscle.where a "yes" is a strong response and a "no"is a weak response, ask whether any specificfood, person, activity, etc. is good for you.With language and belief, you can state theword or the belief, and then test a strong armwith the intention that it will be strong if theword or belief enhances your level ofconsciousness and weak if it drop's youbelow 200.

Summary

Our states of consciousness are vibrational.The levels can be calibrated on a relative scaleof 0 - 1000, where below 200 are stateswhich are destructive of life in both theindividual and society at large. Above 200 arestates which are constructive expressions ofpower. Everything, especially our beliefs,focus and identity affects our level ofconsciousness, either bringing us up or downin frequency. Our experience of life is anexpression of our level of consciousness.Achieving lasting health, happiness and peacecomes through attainment of higher levels ofconsciousness. We can measure our successnot by what we get, but by what we give.
