Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior review:5 stars (A Good Place to Start with David Hawkins) - Here's the book that derives from the author's PhD thesis, published in 1995, 30 years after the mystical awakening that was perhaps what some might call the second of two "near death experiences" in which Hawkins experienced timeless Presence.

This book caught on pretty much word of mouth and has been followed by two more ... "The Eye of the I" and "I: Reality and Subjectivity" ... as a trilogy ... then, this year in 2005, "Truth vs. Falsehood: How to tell the Difference."

This is stunningly expressive stuff. It's historic too, a contribution to the history of human thought worthy of (at least) a Nobel Peace Prize ...

See what you think ... of the three books in the trilogy, this one is probably the best place to start, even though the third book is my favorite. The idea of reading them in order might be helpful because they tend to expand or raise the reader's vibrational receptivity ... book by book ... so if you read the third book first, then the second book feels a little cramped ...

Well, all that's my subjective experience ... if you haven't read them yet, you have an adventure on the horizon ... and, o yes, the fourth book (I am reading it now) is more of the same ...

an adventure in consciousness, a way to bring the Presence closer to conscious awareness ... and a way to stretch consciousness to receive the abundance waiting within ...
5 stars (A must read for practitioners and spiritual seekers) - I have been studying applied kinesiology for about a year. That's how I came across this book. It is a very powerful tool. Certian things I have discovered with muscle testing sends chills down my spine. We are learning what we've always known, that our nervous system is far more complex and advanced than we've previously thought. For those who have tried the muscle testing described in this book and have not have success, relax, it takes time and practice.

Important: Read with an open mind.

5 stars (A Joy to Read) - After reading Power vs. Force I began to encounter countless others that had read it as well. I have yet to meet anyone that did not love it and that did not devour it quickly because of its simple, yet eye opening truths. I felt the immediate sense of its correctness and it has changed how I function in my life.

I was terribly anti-religion/dogma and found myself scared away from anything remotely spiritual as a result. This book really opened my eyes to the science and logic of real spirituality minus the man-made religiosity that has developed over the centuries. Now I find I accept all levels of consciousness in humanity and try daily to better myself and those around me, thus helping everyone.

The author does use terminology that sounds like established religion-speak and may turn some folks off, as it did me to a certain degree because of my existing bias. "God" for example would make me wince as I would envision a white haired man in robes. I soon realized that one must suspend prior attachments to words so that you can learn the concepts that the author conveys. Which he does beautifully.
