Publisher's summary

The publication of Power vs. Force by Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain Nobelists and world leaders.

Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact.

All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness.

To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.

Critic reviews

"A beautiful gift of writing...[You] spread joy, love, and compassion through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace." (Mother Teresa)

I can imagine the authors face while narrating this book

The woman narrator was great. The rest of the book was amazing, incredibly interesting definitely will listen to again.

Great book, not a fan of narration.

The content was outstanding and I listened through even though the voice was challenging- I wonder what frequency it would rate at. This is obviously personal preference but it would have made a big impact.

It was challenging for me to listen

I feel the information is good, but the reading style was just challenging for me.
Can’t hear the content for the reading style.

This is the best

It’s magic in a world that doesn’t know about it but should. We should teach this to kids as soon as they can learn it!

My book of the year

One of profound idea that changed the way you see things around life. Voice-over could be done by someone else then author, I was struggling to understand few times bcoz of tone of voice but overall knowledge from the author is best to non

It rang True for me

I encounter information and instant understanding of the answers to questions large and small all the time.

This book explains a lot

Great book. A must read.

I must read for those who are looking to find a deeper and better understanding of meditation and eventually enlightenment.

Fascinating and extremely educational

I only gave a 4 star, because of the narration. Of course it was awesome that the book was read by the author, however it was very hard to concentrate. Apart from that, it was briillant.

Power VS Force is mostly about Kinesiology ( Muscle testing ), and it contains human consciousness and energy levels, power patterns and etc.
For me, I was fascinated by his work and this book kind of educated me to see the world differently. From now on I am going to watch my emotions, actions, thoughts and decisions - as I will have to be responsible for every one of them eventually - and I will try not to drop my energy level to below 200. ( level 200 is Courage, according to the book.)
I will also try to see the world, things,events, circumstances and people with the hightest possible consciousness level.

Good book

I thought that the book is very informative and powerful. Although the narrator wrote the book I think it would have been more powerful having had the woman read the whole book. I will now see if I can purchase a copy on Amazon

Knowledge is Power

Many people complained about the narration of this book however it was not that bad to me. The lessons on different levels of consciousness are powerful and the knowledge I've gained out weighs any concern with the narration of the book.
