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)

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.

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.

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

life changing stuff here!

The quintessential how-to manual for your entire life! Change your life in one read. Awesome!

amazing and powerfull knowledge

Life changing. A book to read several times. Very usefull for every human being on earth

Brilliant and a most unpleasant narrator voice

I loved the messages of this book. And wont get into that. Mostly, I wish to voice how difficult it was for me as a person who is hard of hearing, to listen to such a garbled voice, where many endings of words were literally impossible to discern. It was really difficult after a while to finish the book though I longed to hear it. Why would anyone hire a narrator who seems completely unaware of enunciation?

Amazing book!!

I loved this book! Had to pause several times so that I can process what he was saying and Rewind several times to rehear it! I really wish you would have paid somebody else to read it because he's definitely a slow monotone reader, reminds me of someone skim reading out loud. at least if somebody would have narrated this that enunciates I probably would have had to rewind it so many times, but a very good read!

Awesome!!

The information in this book is world transforming. I wish that it was performed by a professional reader though. Even through the sometimes monotone delivery this information explodes with power! Can't recommend this one highly enough!!

The things which mater

This book is very important for all humankind. It has power to connect all thinking people with exceptional beauty and logic.

Voice seems fine to me...

Quick early review as I hesitated based on others feedback. The voice seems fine to me. I'm immediately ok with it, didn't take time to warm up as others have experienced. Just wanting to share a different perspective. Your mileage may vary.
