Power Vs Force: The Hidden Determination of HumanBehaviour Paperback – 1 Jan. 1656

I've had some experience of the principles in this book but wanted to dive deeper to understand the science behind it. It describes applied kinesiology and how to do this. It's a way of accessing deeper levels of consciousness as well as discovering what level of consciousness is in operation and describes the way to calibrate the level. Fascinating, deeply educational and revealing.

I read this book about 8 years ago and it radically changed my life for the better. I am back to buy a copy for a friend and thought it was worth adding my thoughts to the reviews. I have recommended this book to a handful of people with mixed results. Some people just don't seem to get it and my theory is that you have to be ready for it. If you are searching on Amazon for a book in this section, my guess is that you are ready. For me, this book totally resonated and the 'penny just dropped'. My understanding of myself and the world around me suddenly made a lot more sense and I realised how I needed to live my life: in a more enlightened, loving way. I have found that doing this has been massively positive for me in every way and I am a better, happier, healthier person and I believe my 'contribution' to the world around me has been similarly positive.As for kinesiology, my 'rational / sceptical' mind remains somewhat undecided, but to me what is important about this book is the message, not how it was apparently derived.This is an awesome book. Do yourself a huge service and read it!

He writes about how Consciousness levels in people can be calibrated from 0 to 1,000. He starts at an average human being, being around 180 to 200 energy field of Consciousness, People like Newton, Freud or Einstein, owing to a high level of intelligence and rationality calibrate at a level of up to 400. With 1,000 energy level Consciousness comes the full Divine Enlightenment GodheadThis is a book of depth, written in an easy styleWe could all do with an understanding of how to raise our lives, this book shows the way. The book has lots of beautiful asides, like a purring cat having an energy calibration of 320.

not easy to get, the style of writing itself is easy to read, despite the use of long sentences not typical in English but more used in latin languages. What I have struggled with is the confusing structure of the book that made hard for me to get what the book is actually about. I do think there is something there that makes it worth reading, however it would have been way easier to get for me if the structure was clear and simple , eventually I kind of got the message reading the last 10 pages. It is written somewhere at the start of the book that it is not meant to be read following the chapters sequence and my recommendation would be that of starting indeed from the end, from “About the author”. This way one understands what the author is trying to explain, which is his experience of peace and oneness with the universe, why it is so amazing and why one should desire to get it, so much to be determined to try to follow his ( and those of the various religions) advice, to get it. That also explains why there are all those chapters ( chapter 9 to 18, which i would read after) trying to explore the genuine power of leaders versus the self interested force in the various fields (in politics, in sport, in business, in art, etc), and this is because this book was his dissertation and although they should be the main content suggested from book title, they do not give the important message I have grasped . The very few first chapters ( which I would read at the end) do not seem to make much sense or give much value added to me, trying to claim a scientific method, although does not seem to me any science is applied, as well as the desperate effort of the 5 initial sections ( 2 prefaces , 2 forewords, and introduction), that try to convince the reader the book will give them some scientific technique to discern truth from false, which it does not seem to me is what the book is actually about. The author has looked for a way to use for explaining to the wider public what is this enlightnment and why it happens, and in this effort he came up with this mechanism that apparently gives a signal objective rather than a subjective opinion of what is good and what is bad, although quite obvious and aligned to the religions ( such as love is good , anger is bad). The method is that of making some pressure on someone elses arm raised parallel to the floor, if the questioned thing is good the muscle remain strong, if bad the muscle weakens, against the person intention. This is not really what the book is about despite the claims in the foreword, this is only a method that claims to bring scientific evidence to what is the right behaviour to follow ( by way of chosing to focus on those emotions where the muscle remaining strong and not weakening suggests they are good such as love and compassion) to elevate to an higher spirituality level. The logic explanined is that this behaviour creates a positive energy field that contributes to a stronger spirituality level, which eventually will move up one step further to enlightment. This is in my view the strong message in the book.

I can’t stop highlighting paragraphs. This book is very insightful in terms of spirituality, politicians and sports. How consciousness and God are unified!! Just wow. I haven’t finish the reading yet & im glad I bought this book, indeed life changing. The vocabulary is a bit advanced (sort of academic) but it helps my intelectual to evolve, so 5 stars to this one ☝🏾 great piece of work

Full of incredible information which no one else seems to have revealed before, Dr Hawkins is addictive to listen to and presents a whole new perspective on human behaviour - very powerful stuff. everyone should read this book if you want to understand why people are the way they are and why they do the things they do............ if you understand Kineasiology ( I'm a qualified practitioner) then this will make more sense to you.

Interesting book although I am not all the way through it yet. The start is slightly tedious as David Hawkins talks you through a special arm raising physical test that can be used to see how much 'power' a certain person or thing has. After feeling your way through this section you learn more about how power levels change as you move through different emotions. It is a very interesting read for the curious minded and I would recommend this to those who are open minded.
