Rating:  Summary: exciting and encouraging Review: I read this book with much enthusiasm and hopefulness. Admittedly the introduction and first chapter were a little over my head, but once I got into the main body of the book it became more and more clear to me. I couldn't wait to try the muscle testing for myself. But when I did with a willing test subject after making sure it was done according to Mr. Hawkins instruction, I was disappointed to discover I couldn't get the results he had described in the book. Has anyone else had this same experience?? I would really like to hear from others who have tried it, and possibly some suggestions. If what the author and others he refers to in this book say is true, this truly gives us hope.
Rating:  Summary: This book will change your life. Review: While one may read for pleasure, entertainment or education, we seldom read for spiritual growth and understanding. This book will start you on a journey of self discovery and will shatter your perceptions of reality. If you keep a open heart and spirit, it will help you live a better life, and even help you gain insight into your spiritual self. ( This is the first of a 3 books. The next book is "The Eye of the I", and the last, "I".)
Rating:  Summary: Finding Your Own Way Review: This book gives more than just information, it gives a tool which can be used to free oneself from the bondage of this world. To Know what you are getting before you purchase. To understand how you came to be here. To understand how other people and events have shaped your life up to this point. To be able to step beyond people, places, events to the core of who you are. This is a book that once you read it, once you learn how to calibrate, is ultimately freeing both from this world and from the book itself.
Rating:  Summary: Things are looking good in the world Review: A grand leap towards understanding the nature of conciousness. I had the honour of stumbling upon this book and having it push me in a new direction in life. It gives a clear explaination of how all humans choose how they perceive life and that they live this perception. We have however been give a tool to change our perception to include a higher understanding of life and its events, by being able to discern the positive from the not-positive. Due to our divine nature we can exercise maximum freedom by knowing if we are taking the better path and knowing that we can have faith in those decisions made from muscle-testing. My friend when you have absolute faith in every decision you make and find that you are muscle testing less and less, simply following your gut, you know your on a path to something truly worthy.
Rating:  Summary: Measuring & Raising Energy Levels of Human Consciousness Review: You exist in a field of energy that is inextricably intertwined with everyone and everything else. Your energy field can serve to uplift those around you, or it can have the opposite effect and tend to weaken those you encounter. Since most people are unaware of these energy fields and their significance in bringing about miraculous changes in the world, they do not realize how they can measurably raise their consciousness, and see the world more clearly as it truly is. POWER VS FORCE helps to solve the problems of confusion and negative patterns of behavior by presenting a crystal-clear model of consciousness along with a useful tool for measuring the energy levels of fields of consciousness around us. Hawkins describes how we can measure the frequencies of the fields surrounding people, ideas, and things with Kinesiology, sometimes referred to as "muscle testing." When we ask questions about things that we consciously do not know the answers to, we can find out the truth that is known to the collective unconscious. As author David Hawkins explains, "Everything in the universe constantly gives off an energy pattern of a specific frequency that remains for all time and can be read by those who know how. Every word, deed, and intention creates a permanent record. Every thought is known and recorded forever. There are no secrets; nothing is hidden, nor can it be." The main idea in POWER VS FORCE is that when you raise the level of energy of your field, you will experience more joy and peace in your life, which in turn will help to improve the quality of life for everyone. You can learn to use Kinesiology to determine truth from falsehood, and to improve your life in every meaningful way. After years of study, Hawkins used Kinesiology to make millions of calibrations of human consciousness that follow a logarithmic progression from zero to 1,000. The title of Hawkins' book comes from the energy field where force finally yields itself to power, at 200, which also happens to be the most typical energy level currently found in most societies on Earth. What I love most about POWER VS FORCE is the feeling I get as I read it that "Here is a book that speaks the truth." From the very beginning, in which Hawkins describes his own spiritual experiences with miraculous healings and synchronicities, all the way to the final chapter, POWER VS FORCE presents a view of reality which consistently describes the way our consciousness effects the physical world. I give this book my very highest recommendation!
Rating:  Summary: Authors Claims backed by empirical evidence Review: When I first read David Hawkins Introduction I was very skeptical. Yea right, here is another new agey spiritual psychologist selling his psycho bable. When I was done, I not only believed that he had gone through a radical transformative experience, but I had had one myself. I immediately went out and bought four more copies which I gave away to people who are close to me and who I thought would benefit from reading this book. They in turn have now given copies of the book to people who are close to them. All who have read it have had positive experiences. In short, I can not recommend this book highly enough. If you are struggling through life changes reading this book is some of the best advice that I can offer.
Rating:  Summary: Above and Beyond Review: This book is the strongest spiritual/scientific approach I have read. Many books stop at their own concept of reality, but Hawkins' book goes above and beyond. He annihilates all attempts to limit thought and consciousness with his brilliant awareness of association as the root of all experience. I loved turning the pages of this book, and enjoyed the blasting of my mental barriers.
Rating:  Summary: THE NEW BIBLE Review: I know it sounds crazy at first, but only a fool would read this book and pretend that the information inside is not the bottom line for a new era of enlightenment. I have bought ten copies to spread them around and in my city alone i can already see and feel a change in the way people act towards each other and themselves. I was deep into drugs, consumerism, and was spiritually hollow before i read this book. In the course of two months i have become a teacher and a student...You will not be let down if you approach this book with an open mind and then use the techniques inside. This review is the only one you'll need to read. I PROMISE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!
Rating:  Summary: Powerful - but not for everyone! Review: This clearly is the most powerful spiritual book I have ever read; however, this book is not for everyone. If you have not developed a spiritual discipline - at best, this book will simply be confusing or foolish. If you are ready, this book is a mindwalk.
Rating:  Summary: Practical Applications to Daily Life Review: Dr. Hawkins lifts the veil of the unknown and the uncertain with a tool that anyone can apply. It is possible for every person to access all information written on the Collective Unconsious from the dawn of existence to this very moment about any person, place, event or ideology. His research into morphogenic fields and the nature of consciousness is truely enlightening and empowering as a tool to map the future without actually predicting it. I am a chiropractor who has taken 200 certified classroom hours in Applied Kinesiology, and I have used muscle testing extensively in my clincal practice. In the classroom, muscle testing is taught to determine incongruencies within the patient with pinpoint accuracy. Until I read Dr. Hawkins' work I had no idea that the power of the tool I use every day in the office to help individuals could be used to spread Enlightenment to all of humanity. I have been touched to the core of my being and my consciousness is changed forever.
