A brief summary of the Levels of Consciousness

Power vs. Force is a concept developed by David Hawkins, a spiritual teacher and author, in his book of the same name. In the book, Hawkins proposes a scale of consciousness that ranges from 0 to 1000, with each level corresponding to a particular state of consciousness. According to Hawkins, the levels of consciousness on this scale are as follows:

  1. Shame (20)

  2. Guilt (30)

  3. Apathy (50)

  4. Grief (75)

  5. Fear (100)

  6. Desire (125)

  7. Anger (150)

  8. Pride (175)

  9. Courage (200)

  10. Neutrality (250)

  11. Willingness (310)

  12. Acceptance (350)

  13. Reason (400)

  14. Love (500)

  15. Joy (540)

  16. Peace (600)

  17. Enlightenment (700)

Hawkins' scale is based on the idea that certain states of consciousness are more "evolved" or "advanced" than others, and that individuals can work to increase their level of consciousness by moving up the scale. The higher levels of consciousness are characterized by greater levels of positivity, openness, and understanding, while the lower levels are marked by negative emotions, closed-mindedness, and a lack of understanding. According to Hawkins, the key to increasing one's level of consciousness is to work on releasing negative emotions and beliefs, and to cultivate positive ones in their place.
