Product Description
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!

 Profound Yet Flawed June 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
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.
