Power Vs. Force

The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

David R. Hawkins

In 'Power vs. Force,' David R. Hawkins explores the nature of true power and force, arguing that power is whole, positive, and wholesome, while force is partial, selfish, and negative. The book introduces a hierarchical scale of consciousness, ranging from 1 to 1000, where levels below 200 are considered negative and those above 200 are positive. Hawkins uses concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory, as well as Applied Kinesiology, to support his research. The book is divided into three parts, discussing the process of achieving one’s ultimate potential, the distinction between power and force in various aspects of life, and the evolution of human consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of integrity, understanding, and compassion in enhancing one’s level of consciousness and leading a more fulfilling life.
