 Power vs. Force November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I highly recommend Power vs. Force, which very simply explains the power of levels of consciousness. I quote David Hawkins a number of times in my book, Managing Thought: How Do Your Thoughts Rule Your World?, and with Hawkins' permission, excerpted a table from his book on powerful vs. weak thought patterns. This book was of significant influence for me on my own path to self-awareness. There were a number of aha!s for me as I read this book. For example, up until reading this book, I approached my work and my own self-cultivation by looking for what was wrong and then working on making it right, even under the guise of continuous improvement. As a result, I missed out on the joy of my life, my work, and my expansiveness. When I learned from this book that the difference in power between a so-called bad thought and a so-called good thought was so enormous as to be beyond my comprehension, I realized how just a few powerful, constructive, loving thoughts a day could far outweigh all of my weak, non-constructive, and fearful thoughts. I realized that I could effortlessly transform my thinking and my reality by focusing on the powerful thoughts I choose to have and not the weak thoughts I don't want to have. Another aha! was that thoughts are neither good or bad--they are simply a function of viewpoint. And a very freeing lesson for me was the learning that by raising my level of consciousness, I make a difference.

this book is great for anyone who truly wants to understand the behind the scenes forces that influence our lives and our society
 Borrow from the Library October 27, 2008
Like most of the other reviews, my opinion is mixed. Besides some of the obvious contradictions others have mentioned, there was one that really jumped out at me in the early part of the book: If people's energy really affects other people's, shouldn't you take one of the people (the tester) out of the equation and standardize things so there's no experiementer bias? Scientific method requires eliminating the bias of the researcher.
I did enjoy the book, although I'd read enough about muscle testing elsewhere and been the subject of it.
I did, indeed, borrow the book from the library and am glad I saved my money. I appreciate Dawkins' research, but his preachiness was tiresome and bordered on the dogmatic. His absolute assurance that this was THE method and that he could PROVE it, violated that most basic of scientific method tenets--you don't prove anything; you show correlation.
I still can't decide if this is pseudo-religious garbage October 27, 2008
I think something that this book is missing is an emphasis that people actually go out and do something. Things become apparent through god, yet initiative comes from within.
I also like Transcending the Levels of Consciousness better. Both books are revelationary. Very much recommended, but not in ALL seriousness.
Wonderful Book September 14, 2008
This book is a wonderful explanation as how to people form their preferences and make decisions. If you wonder why certain things make you feel a certain way, this book provides a logical explanation. I recommend this book to anyone interested in recognizing why you react the way you do.
