Funny how his calibrations dont contradict his claims. He goes on and on, calibrating world leaders, dogs and cats, and making everyone in the audience feel very comfortable in their (or his) ability to understand life, the universe, and everything.I think he is honest, but I do not feel his path will lead one to the stated goal.Using techniques derived from kinesiology, Doctor David Hawkins presented a method by which one gauges truth (or consciousness): on a scale of 1 to 1000, where 1 is simply being alive and 1000 is an advanced state of enlightenment.Dr. Diamond continually stressed that what might test healthy for one individual might significantly weaken another, and vice-versa.
For those in the lucky minority, Hawkins offers a guaranteed way of determining the truth. Are you doubtful Let me share with you some of my thoughts after reading Hawkins book Power Vs. Force in a veneer of mis-applied scientific jargon and presents highly speculative theories as facts. ![]() He references Karl Pribram as showing the brain acts holographically, while, in truth, Pribrams is one of several theories. Hawkins makes vague references to nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and attractor patterns in support of his theory of consciousness. He displays a knack for obscuring the obvious by attempting to appear scientific: labeling an emotional upset as turbulence that occurs in the attractor fields of consciousness. Power Vs. Force is filled with attempts to be scientific that wind up worthy of ridicule rather than respect. ![]() Considering he mentions his own tests sometimes occurring in informal settings such as lecture audiences of 1000 people, it becomes hard to imagine how he controlled these variables. I suspect he simply discarded any results that did not conform to his expectations. In fact, he says the method will revolutionize scientific inquiry, medical research, and product development by saving years of research and millions of dollars, yet does not list a single example where he or anyone else did so. Only awareness itself can state that its beyond all concepts such as is or is not. That must be so, because is can be conceived only by consciousness itself. In Hawkins mind, will becomes the chaos-theory principle of sensitive dependence on initial way of spiritual progress. Numerous techniques and behaviors have been prescribed to facilitate the removal of obstacles to expanded awareness; these can be found in the practice of various spiritual disciplines. The one process common to all such teachings is the progressive elimination of the identification of self as finite. Explanation itself is high comedy, as preposterous as trying to see the back of ones own head, but the vanity of the ego is boundless, and it becomes even more overblown by this very attempt to make sense of nonsense. The mind, in its identity with the ego, cannot by definition, comprehend reality; if it could, it would instantly dissolve itself upon recognizing its own illusory nature. ![]() If youre looking for a more direct and practical look at transcending ego, I humbly suggest you read my book, Subtraction: The simple math of enlightenment. Hawkins mentions that in 1965 he received a blast of thought from an archangel that calibrated at 50,000 (maybe it was 500,000) and left him addled for years. Hmm. He tells us he was a pirate in a past life and still knows where he buried the gold, then calibrates his story for the audience to show it is true. Funny how his calibrations dont contradict his claims. He goes on and on, calibrating world leaders, dogs and cats, and making everyone in the audience feel very comfortable in their (or his) ability to understand life, the universe, and everything.
