In his book ‘Power vs Force’, David Hawkins calibrates people’s emotions from levels 20 up to 1000. 20 being Shame which is perilously proximate to death. It’s destructive to emotional and psychological health, and makes us prone to physical illness.

At the other end of the scale at 700- 1000 is enlightenment. This is the level of the Great Ones such as Krishna and Buddha. Some even try to put Jesus on this level, but being God Incarnate, Jesus is so far above these others that there really is no comparison in my opinion. This is however the peak of the evolutionary consciousness in the human realm.

All levels (which could be classed as vibration levels) below 200 are said to be energy draining, and below integrity. These vary from Guilt (30), Grief (75), Fear (100) up to Pride (175).

People feel positive as they reach Pride level. However Pride feels good only in contrast to the lower levels. Pride is defensive and vulnerable because it’s dependent upon external conditions, without which it can suddenly revert to a lower level.

At the 200 level, power first appears. Courage (200) is the zone of exploration, accomplishment, fortitude, and determination. People at this level put back into the world as much energy as they take; at the lower levels, populations as well as individuals drain energy from society without reciprocating.

Further levels include willingness (310), Acceptance (350) and Love (500).

This level is characterized by the development of a Love that is unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It doesn’t fluctuate – its source isn’t dependent on external factors. Loving is a state of being. This is the level of true happiness.

Interesting facts from the book -

* The concept and theories behind these experiments were conducted over a 20 year period using a variety of Kinesiology tests and examinations.
* Kinesiology has an almost certain 100% accuracy reading every time. It will always reveal Yes, No, True, and False answers.
* Collective Consciousness: These experiments reveal that there is a higher power that connects everything and everyone.
* Everything calibrates at certain levels from weak to high including books, food, water, clothes, people, animals, buildings, cars, movies, sports, music etc.
* 85% of the human race calibrates below the critical level of 200.
* The overall average level of human consciousness stands at 207.
* Human consciousness was dangling at below the 200 level (190) for many centuries before it suddenly rose up to its present level some time in the mid 1980s. Hence Nostradamus’s end of the world predictions may have been avoided (he made his predictions at a time when human consciousness was at below the 200 level). For the world to stay at levels below 200 over a prolonged period of time would cause a great imbalance that would undoubtedly lead to the destruction of all humanity.
* The power of the few individuals at the top counterbalances the weakness of the masses.
* 1 individual at level 300 counterbalances 90,000 individuals below level 200
* 1 individual at level 500 counterbalances 750,000 individuals below level 200
* 1 individual at level 700 counterbalances 70 million individuals below level 200

In other words, as a co creator of the world, if you vibrate at 200 and above you will be helping to raise the consciousness of mankind, and be a big part in creating a better world for everyone.

For many years the psychology field assumed it was impossible for a person to drop voluntarily down to alpha and retain conscious thinking control.

Alpha is the state where your brain rhythm tends to “center” around 10 cycles per second (cps).

It was always assumed that once a person entered alpha (like the daydream state), they would be unable to direct their thoughts and probably fall asleep. This was until Jose Silva demonstrated otherwise. He proved conclusively that people could operate consciously in alpha and retain control of their thinking at the same time. These days there are people who can drop down to a lower level of Theta (3-7cps) – and still maintain conscious control! There are even a handful of people who can drop down to mind-awake-body-asleep in delta!

What is happening at this level is that your conscious and your subconscious mind are operating simultaneously, giving you an increase in mental capacity and opening up your 6th sense.  Women tend to use both brain hemispheres when solving problems which may give them extra intuitive capacity.

It was also discovered that a person could drop to alpha with their eyes open (you do this when you daydream) which offered another major advantage for the business executive.

But to all intents and purposes the alpha state is considered to be similar to a light self-hypnotic state. At least the outcome with regard to positive and habit-transforming programming is the same.

The biggest overall advantage in business, of getting your right intuitive brain fully operational, is the ability to “intuitively know” what the other person is thinking and what their real objections are. Not their “professed” objections but the real unspoken ones. By using a special alpha technique, you can actually pre-program to find out what it is they really want in advance. This gives the businessman or woman a tremendous advantage when the actual “crunch” time comes!

And it is an observable fact that those who practice alpha/theta techniques tend to progress quickly up through the ranks – all else being equal.

The reason – you have developed mind powers that others simply do not have. And if you use these regularly you have a massive advantage that others are totally unaware of.  This is why most mind-course graduates seldom ever mention their training to outsiders. They are usually told during their mind-course, instructional program to keep it to themselves.

And it makes sense …… because mind-power knowledge is an exclusive club!

The whole field of mind-power in the western world is in its infancy. And because it will make a lot of people nervous there will not be too much media education about it. It will creep up on us in the same manner that computers have.

Ignore this emerging field at your own peril!!!

The power of the mind itself is limitless, as it can influence our circumstances both physical and otherwise. The only limitations which this tremendous power has lies in the individuals. We determine how our mind power works and whether it will work positively for us.

When the disciples saw Jesus Christ walking on water towards them, at Peter’s beckoning, Jesus told Peter to come to him and Peter started walking on the water.  But suddenly he was distracted by the waves and he allowed some limitation to prevent him from exercising the power of his mind and he started to sink until Jesus Christ rescued him. It is important to note that Peter had first walked on water before he started sinking and this means that the idea had taken hold of his mind and given him faith to do the Lord’s bidding. We shall examine three limitations which usually militate against the successful exercise of our mind power.

1.    FEAR:    Fear and faith are opposites and cannot sit together at the same table. The absence of fear indicates the presence of faith and vice versa. Fear, in this context, means acknowledging that the prevailing circumstances are outside your control. Faith does not mean that you do not see all around you, rather that you only acknowledge the circumstances which you have set in your mind. Imagine that Peter had focused on getting to the Lord instead of acknowledging the fact that he was walking on water, would he have started sinking? I think not. He allowed his fear of the prevailing circumstances to replace the idea in his mind. This cost him control of his mind power.

2.    DOUBT:         This is an offshoot of fear. You might be able to recall a time when you had a doubt that you could do something and that doubt actually prevented you from doing it. Where there is fear, doubt will definitely materialize. They are bed mates and faithful companions. Peter’s fear created doubt in his mind that he could make it to where Jesus was and this doubt in turn prevented him from doing so.

3.    NEGATIVE THOUGHTS:    This is also related to fear as most people who react negatively to their circumstances are likely to start exhibiting fear. This fear in turn creates a doubt in their minds that they can make the changes they actually desire. These feelings result in a negative pattern of thoughts which then begin to eat away at the person until the individual loses control of his/her mind power. The erosion of the mind power is usually not particularly obvious until negative circumstances begin to manifest.

While these three elements exert a negative drain on mind power, all three have their inception within the confines of the mind.  Many false beliefs may have their roots deep within the subconscious mind causing you to react in a certain fashion without being aware of the reason for your reaction.  Therefore, by learning some time tested techniques to strengthen the power of the mind, you can lessen the grip of these limitations, and the effects they have on your life.

While the power of the mind is indeed limitless, there are some things that will serve as limitations to the effective use of your mind.
