Power vs. Force

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Formaciones de roca roja en Sedona (Arizona)
byDavid R. Hawkins

His most widely read book and the foundation of all his later work. It sets out the 'map of consciousness', a logarithmic scale from 1 to 1000 on which every human attitude — from shame (20) through pride (175), courage (200) and love (500) to enlightenment (700–1000) — would have a 'calibratable' value, and argues that the muscle test of applied kinesiology can tell true from false. It distinguishes power, which arises from truth and need oppose nothing, from force, which imposes itself and breeds counter-force, and applies the distinction to politics, art, sport, business and health. These are the author's claims: controlled studies have not confirmed the validity of muscle testing as a truth detector, and the scale lacks independent verification. Translated into more than twenty-five languages, it is both a classic of its genre and one of its most disputed books.
