Absolutely awe-inspiring. The best thing about it? How its truth simply radiates into your being. One of my favorite quotes from the book: "There is no anti-depressant that will cure a depression that is spiritually based, for the malaise doesn't originate from brain dysfunction, but from an accurate response to the desecration of life." Find it. Read it. It's one of the most influential books of our time. Please read it.

The book is between 3.75 and 4 stars... the reason for that it's that it's quite an introduction to enlightenment. The scale itself was interesting, as well as the points of view that consciousness takes at each level. I was however a bit sceptical of the kinesiology test and how foolpoof it supposedly is, nonetheless it was peculiar to notice that the chapters with a higher calibration seemed to be better written.

Thought provoking subject relating to true consciousness or just the show...but yet, another box.

The first book to begin the journey down the rabbit hole.. Delves into mankind's apparent inability to tell truth from falsehood and the seduction throughout history of the innocents.. "They know not what they do" is explained in depth... and with ANSWERS that you can sink your canines into! Enjoy, if you are ready :-))~

I think that as you read this amazing book, you will feel its message resonate with truth that is deep within. A bit controversial, it definitely has its critics. Just catch the overall philosophy of what Dr. Hawkins is saying, check it in your own heart and I am confident that you'll gain much. In love, Michael

Astoundingly insightful book about what energy level we all vibrate at, and how most of society operates on a level that limits their ability to perceive truth, what's good, what's right, and move beyond the lowest levels of possible existence. Wish it included more tips or ideas for moving beyond, but only has a few cursory references. Highly recommended, but very few will likely be able to read it.

Whatever you read you can never be sure that - what you read is the truth. (This counts for every book - also for this one) This book invites to check if the content resonates within yourself. It offers a technique to discern truth from falsehood and everybody should check himself if that works or not. I found the book quite inspiring. Loads of things you find in spiritual books you find here explained from a western viewpoint. I recomend this book to spiritual seekers who always are searching and always have doubts.

Finally I am done with it. I found the book a dry read with only a few engaging and powerful chapters. Some chapters I had to force myself to get through. Other chapters I found myself engaged and moved. The book raises some very intriguing questions and if offers a map to different realms to explore. Still, I find the book troubling. Mostly, the book’s claim in determining the absolute truth through applied and behavioral kinesiology -- a muscle testing technique that many other readers have wonderfully explained already. According to the book, we can tap into this method to caliber and determine the truth and strength of anything –i.e. art forms, people, text, statements, religions, beliefs and anything else in our world. Power tells us that anything that tests weak is detrimental to humanity and should be ignored. (No big insight here). First, as a science, kinesiology has many critics as well as believers so I am not going to try to explain it or claim to have a complete understanding of it. What I will say is that I am a skeptic. I question the book’s claim as well as many of the so called studies presented in the book. Of course, according to the book, my level of truth is determining my interpretation and understanding of it. Now, that’s another problem I found with the book. It presents so many ways to justify its claims and fend off criticism. But look, if you can get through the book, read it and get the best out of it. It does offer some benefits. If you don’t want to read it, many others books offer the same message without scientific jargon.

My review of this book calibrates at a 250 :) I must admit that I am very curious about this kinesiologic testing technique.

This is an important book. I will re-read it again in a few weeks. And in a few months, yet again. I am very grateful that this book was recommended to me. Habits of mine that had been lining up to be changed, began just falling away...... by the Power I felt reading this book. I had not been able to Force myself to change...... And yet it is not a self-help book, but a deeply spiritual book, that helped put things into place in my psyche. Which of course, is an on-going process. But clearer now. Hawkins gives you tools to evaluate your emotions and thinking & decision making, and that of others. May you be happy and at peace.

I confess that I am skeptical with regards to the usefulness and accuracy of the proposed kinesiological test, as well as the somewhat arbitrary logarithmic scale applied to it; or is it that I just don't understand the numbers! Nevertheless, I found affirming though differently presented parallels to other works exploring consciousness, notably Spiral Dynamics and Memetics. A nice read if you can accept the fuzzy fringe science.

Quotes from the book: Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact he's governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control. Because power is effortless, it goes unseen and unsuspected. Force is experienced through the senses: power can be recognized only through inner awareness. Man is immobilized in his present condition by his alignment with enormously powerful attractor energy patterns, which he himself unconsciously sets in motion. Moment by moment, he is suspendedat this state of evolution, restrained by the energies of force, impelled by the energies or power. Another great book that effectively describes the disfunction of our current society and illustrates how we can massively enhance our own lives and the lives of many others with a shift in consciousness....

This book helped me understand that there are many different levels of "awareness" in humankind and how those levels can affect our individual and collective world. It also helped me get a little more patience with others! :-) Caution: It is not easy to read, and at first I wanted to have a dictionary next to me, but if you just read thru it, you will get the message without the distraction. The author has written several other books that are equally interesting. Thanks to Mark Willis for this!
