Power vs. Force
by David R. Hawkins
The map of consciousness (shame at 20 to enlightenment at 1000) and the claim that kinesiology can calibrate truth. The map is an interesting ladder of attitudes; the calibration method has no scientific support. Read with discernment.
Read it if…
you want the map of consciousness, taken as metaphor.

Skip it if…
you want evidence; the muscle-testing claims do not have it.
Try instead: Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention →
Three things you will actually use
- Power attracts; force pushes.
- Attitudes form a ladder.
- Courage (200) is the turning point, in his scheme.
Do this first
Read the chapters describing the levels; ignore the calibration numbers.
Our verdict
The map, as metaphor.
