Practical Philosophy

In his book ‘Power versus Force’ Dr David J Hawkins outlines a ‘map’ for personal spiritual growth. He described it as a “map of consciousness” which might be better understood as a map of the awareness you and I have of our own thoughts, emotions, existence, sensations, and surroundings. It’s the ‘lens’ through which you and I see our lives at any moment and as any spectacle wearer will know, sometimes, the lens needs cleaning, and sometimes the prescription needs upgrading.

You’ll find a detailed article on Hawkins theory in the Resources section, or you can purchase the original book but I’m going to take this a little further and put some more detail on the map to explain how you and I can progress to different levels of growth or awareness.

Andrrea Hess, the creator of the Soul Realignment modality you’ll discover later in this section describes different ‘vibrational levels’ for our Souls which match our progress through the dimensions (there’s more on the dimensions in the next ‘Seven Pillars’ section). These vibrational levels more or less correspond with the change points on Hawkins’ consciousness scale as shown in this chart.

There are two things to understand about this. First the scale is not linear but logarithmic or exponential which means its not plotted as a straight line but as a curve. Hence the differences in ‘spacing’ of the 17 layers.

Second there are two distinct zones, as Hawkins puts it the zones of ‘Force’ and of ‘Power’ – which can be somewhat misleading. In this context ‘Power’ refers to the power in being one’s ‘self’ and not power over others.

e could also consider this the zone of greater understanding with the ‘top’ level representing complete understanding – but there is still some ‘understanding in the ‘Force’ zone which could correlate with a zone of ‘knowledge’ – but knowledge by itself which isn’t really understood.

Without going into detail about the dimensions we could say our spiritual ‘selves’ in the Force zone are operating in a 4th dimensional existence whereas we achieve 5th dimensional existence when we reach the Power zone – 200 on Hawkins’ scale.

Spiritual growth, increase in consciousness or dimensional vibration takes effect and despite the numbers on the scale, 0-200 in Force and 200-1000 in Power it is, as the vibrational levels show no easier to escape the Force zone than it is to reach the ‘Enlightenment’ level of the Power zone prior to migrating into a 6th dimensional existence.

As we continue the journey through the levels of the Academy we’ll explore further and refer back and go through this in more detail. You can download the ‘map’ or chart from the Resources section.
Life mastery and personal freed come through spiritual growth and this is your map to achieve it.
