Awaited for twenty years, the publication of Power vs. Force by 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.

This author's boyhood spiritual experience of the "Infinite Presence" has directed his
life.s work as a healing psychiatrist, a healing that transcends his patients' physical
world. Dr. Hawkins's basic thesis focuses on the "Ultimate Presence" . the source from
which individuals can reach their highest potential. He uses theoretical concepts from
particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human
behavior.

On the referenced Scale of the Levels of Consciousness, which calibrates the levels of
Truth from 1 to 1,000, Power vs. Force calibrates at 850.

The book is divided into 3 parts.

Part 1 describes the process of moving toward one's ultimate potential. Dr. Hawkins
then discusses his theory by explaining the progression from negative energy fields or
attractors to positive attractors, which ultimately lead to pure consciousness. Based
on 20 years of research, he has developed an intriguing Map of Consciousness that, in
essence, charts one's spiritual growth. The map outlines a listing of attitudes and
emotions with corresponding calibrated numerical values. Feelings such as blame, anxiety,
and hate fall into negative energy attractor fields; affirmation, trust, and optimism are
examples of positive attractors that are life enhancing and ultimately lead to pure
consciousness. By applying principles from kinesiology and acupuncture, the author
explains the association between positive attractor fields and one's health, well-being
and creativity.

Part 2 presents an extensive listing of adjectives that connote power-versus-force
patterns of human attitudes. It provides a basis for examining the quality of human
interactions and relationships in various life endeavors, e.g., the marketplace, sports,
the arts, health, and wellness.

Part 3 focuses on the evolution and current state of man's consciousness, which Hawkins
suggests is at the threshold of power after centuries of force. He posits that an
individual's power and level of consciousness can be enhanced through greater integrity,
understanding, and compassion.

Readers will find themselves challenging methodology or various suppositions and being
intrigued by others as the author relates the world of spirituality to the hidden
dimensions of human behavior.
