Table Of Contents
Foreword
People
act the way they act not because of their upbringing, environment, past
experiences or temperament.
I’m
not saying that these (upbringing, environment, past experiences or
temperament) do not play a part in what happens to a person, they are strong
influences – no doubt. But their consciousness levels lay the foundation of
their personal growth blueprint.
Here’s
a good example of how it works.
Let’s
say you’re a high powered CEO or executive that is filled with pride. He may be
able to command a legion of employees, but in his personal life, he may
experience dysfunctional relationships, lack of spiritual fulfillment or even
feel a lack of control over events that are beyond his executorial control (not
everyone in the world is his employee and he feels a lack of power because he
often borrows strength from his position).
On
the other hand, you may have a painter that does not make as much money as the
CEO… but is filled with reason, purpose, fulfillment and love. He is very much
in love and passionate with his work, his calling, his desire to produce a
masterpiece out of his overflowing reservoirs of endless creativity.
The
painter is clearly living at a higher level of consciousness compared to the
CEO.
Do
you get the picture here?
It’s
not about your rank, position, car, status or role in life. It’s not even in
what you’re doing or having – it is in your BEING.
A
higher level of conscious living will allow one to transcend upbringing,
environment, past experiences or temperament to become more than what he or she
can be without losing touch with who they really are.
Based
on Power Vs Force: The Hidden Determinants Of Human Behavior by David R. Hawkins,
the focus on this book centers on the levels of consciousness of human growth.
The
path of growth is never ending. It is grafted into our very natures that growth
is very important.
But
your consciousness level will determine why you will want to grow, how much you
want to grow and where you are going to find the resources that will facilitate
this process (including finding the right people – the who, to achieve your
calling).
This
book might change your life. Read it with an open mind.

Learn
The State Of Your Consciousness And Methods On How To Increase It
Chapter 1:
Understanding The Importance Of
Conscious Growth
Synopsis
Are you pursuing a
lifestyle of personal development? Is it effective? By understanding this
simple truth, your efforts will give you better results in the long run.
This chapter talks about:
Ø Why personal development in and of itself is
not good enough
Ø Same goals, wrong intentions
Ø Finding true meaning in your goals
Ø ‘Ends’ goals and ‘means’ goals
Ø No accidents!
Personal development as a
way of life is very important. Start by understanding how you can fine tune
your reasons ‘why’ and how you can live your life effectively by understanding
what consciousness levels are all about!
Consciousness Growth As A Way Of Life
Desiring
personal growth in and of itself is not enough.
As
enthusiastic as a person may be, if one does not align themselves effectively,
they are merely building castles on sand or climbing the so called ‘ladder of
success’ that is leaning against the wrong wall.
Are
you aware that your goals are the right goals?
Why
is it that two people can pursue the very same set of goals but after
accomplishing it, not only turn out drastically different from one another… but
also use the results they have achieved in different ways.
(A
good example of these 2 people – both would master the art of self defense, but
one uses it to kill people but another uses it to learn the art of
self-discipline and protect others…)
The
example above is a good sign that not all pursuits of personal growth are made
equal. If a person is not intrinsically aware of the nature of good and evil
(morality), lower level appetites (like smoking or lust), purpose driven living
and understanding their egos, the quality of their pursuits and the
effectiveness of their results are all defined by a person’s awareness and
consciousness levels.
That
is why David R. Hawkins, author of the book – Power Vs Force: The Hidden Determinants Of Human Behavior expounds
the ideas that it doesn’t matter what social status or rank a person has which
determines their desires… it is their consciousness levels that determine if
one is living on a lower state of ego, power hungry, lower appetite addictions
and desires or one’s life filled with joy, love, meaning, fulfillment, purpose
and high level thinking.
Another
way to put it, ‘means’ goals usually pale in comparison to ‘ends’ goals because
some ends are generally more worthwhile compared to others.
(A
good way to put it, time management and goal setting is pointless if you are a
serial killer. These tools will only help you to kill more people faster. You
can’t change the means if you want to change the ends. You have to think at a
different level and hold to a different principle!)
This
is where conscious growth comes in. As people become more aware of what they
are supposed to do – giving in to meaning and purpose rather than lower level
appetites and addictions, their horizons virtually expand and their thinking
becomes better.
To
make things simple, remember this rule of thumb – no one got to where they are
by accident. It is the way of thinking that got them there. If you want to
change your destiny or your outcome, start by changing the way you think.
Chapter 2:
Awareness Of
Where Am I?
Synopsis
Learning about the state
of your consciousness level is one of the most important things that will
change the direction, the effectiveness and the results of your personal growth
plan.
This chapter talks about:
Ø Positive and negative consciousness levels
Ø Negative ones such as Shame, Guilt, Apathy,
Grief, Fear, Desire, Anger and Pride
Ø Positive ones such as Courage, Neutrality,
Willingness, Acceptance, Reason, Love, Joy, Peace and Enlightenment
Ø Where most of the world are functioning at
Ø Fluctuations in your personal growth
Ø Situations that might temporarily shift your
consciousness state tremendously
Ø Subtle influences that will also affect your
consciousness
Awareness is very
important so make that conscious choice what you want to do with your life by
first knowing where you are.
The Different Consciousness Levels
According
to Hawkins, different people operate at different levels of consciousness and
these levels have a direct influence on their behavioral patterns.
The
levels are collectively divided into 2 different groups.
The
negative group consists of:
Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Grief,
Fear, Desire, Anger and Pride
The
positive group consists of:
Courage, Neutrality,
Willingness, Acceptance, Reason, Love, Joy, Peace and Enlightenment
The
transition state is a path of linear growth starting from shame and moving up
to pride and then courage and beyond. According to Hawkins 85% of the people on
earth live below the level of courage.
Most
people tend to fluctuate one to two levels up and down at any given time or
circumstances as well as mood swings or fatigue. However, people will always
operate at one specific level in general. They will also fall to a certain
level when under pressure but their normative state will determine how they
live their lives.
Extraordinary
circumstances may also temporary increase or decrease one’s consciousness level
such as a near death experience, completing a motivation seminar (these will
temporary bump up the consciousness levels for a couple of weeks or days) and
negative ones such as discovering a cheating spouse, feeling of extreme failure
in things that matter or the death of a loved one (will drop tremendously,
sometimes for months…)
Understanding
your core level is very important
but once you know your core level, know that it is worthwhile to invest time
and energy into moving up to the next consciousness level.
Moving
up a notch is the single, most important result anyone can experience in their
lives, sometimes even better than willing a million dollars in a lottery (a
person with low consciousness may not have the capacity to handle the money but
a person with high consciousness may not have it now, but will develop the
skills or utilize resources wisely to get more than that!)
It
is also important to know that everything around us can affect our
consciousness. The music we listen to, the people we hang out with, the things
we feed our mind, listening to the news, even the stuff we hang on our walls
can have a strong impact!
We
will begin our study about the lowest consciousness state a human being can
enter into. Then we will slowly work our way up.
Chapter 3:
Understanding
The Level Of Shame
Synopsis
Human beings are born
with free will. Unfortunately, that free will is largely robbed from a person
when they are at the level of shame.
This chapter talks about:
Ø Why this is the lowest consciousness level
Ø What people do at this level
Ø Who often drops here
Ø How do you get one out of this level
Ø How to progress to the next level - guilt
Personal development as a
way of life is very important. Start by understanding how you can fine tune
your reasons ‘why’ and how you can live your life effectively by understanding
what consciousness levels are all about!
Understanding Shame
Shame is the lowest level consciousness for a human being.
According to Hawkins, this level is barely above a dead person – almost like a
human zombie. A person at this level might even find it hard to perform basic
functions because of the emotional burden they are facing.
A form of self-directed hatred and pain, a person at the
level of shame is not able to lift his eyes to see a mirror. Suicidal thoughts
are lingering in their minds as humiliation is the only predominant emotion
found. Living in shame is excruciatingly painful for no human being would
desire to inflict physical torture on themselves but emotional torture can be
equally destructive.
The constant reminder of the pain traps them in a mental
prison that will eat the person up alive if they are not careful. Lonely and
reclusive, they often feel that their presence is also a huge burden on others
while being a living parasite at the same time. They often wish they were never
born.
What Kind Of People Are At The Shame
Level?
The sexually abused, criminals of heinous crimes who got
caught and facing inescapable exposure from the public eye, people caught in
scandals, suicidal people and even serial killers who have numbed themselves to
all aspects of societal norms.
These people will also do whatever it takes to remove
themselves from the public eye.
Getting Out Of Shame
Only an extreme amount therapy can get a person out of this
stage, otherwise they will most likely remain here for the rest of their lives.
Identifying the primary source of pain is important because sometimes, the mind
and the body can become so numb to the fact that they become used to the pain
and know and would not desire anything else out of it.
A lot of patience is needed as well because their mental
repetitions of pain can wear another’s patience thin. In an example of sexual
abuse, even the mere touch from the opposite (or even same in some cases) sex
can kick start the mental trigger of pain and the victim will often close up to
all forms of counseling.
Some psychologists even recommend hypnosis in order to
induce a patient to overcome these traumas at a sub-conscious level. People who
drop down here from a higher level are more hopeful if they are shown a glimpse
of hope that they can be restored to their former glory. Or at the very least,
elevate their consciousness level to guilt.
Chapter 4:
Understanding
The Level Of Guilt
Synopsis
Have you ever felt that
you have done something wrong in your life and you cannot forgive yourself?
This chapter talks about:
Ø What is guilt about
Ø The difference between shame and guilt
Ø What kind of people exist in this level of
consciousness
Ø Steps to get out of this awful state
Ø Getting them to stop feeling guilty towards
apathy
Yes, we’ve all done nasty
things in our lives. But punishing yourself by feeling guilty does not solve
the problem. This chapter handles guilt intelligently by reminding ourselves
that there is hope for our lives and constantly beating yourself up is not the
solution.
Understanding Guilt
To be honest, guilt isn’t really that far from shame. What
often happens at this level is a person who experiences painful memories like
in shame, but are often having feelings of unworthiness and they find that they
are unable to forgive themselves for their past transgressions.
The difference from shame is that they do understand the
need to get out of their misery but are often held back by huge negative
forces. People who are stuck here may sometimes entertain thoughts of suicide,
though not as perpetual as a person in shame.
Poorly taught (or lopsided) religious teachings can also
misguide someone to think they are a dirty sinner with no sense of feeling
redeemed.
What Kind Of People Are At The Guilt
Level?
People who have failed to live up to their parent’s
expectations, criminals who got caught in crimes that hurt others, partners
caught in adultery and people who feel that they do not measure up.
Religious people with a poor understanding of redemption
(dark ages type of thinking) will also think that God sees them as a filthy
being.
Getting Out Of Guilt
Educating someone to get out of guilt is better than shame
because these people understand a little about the light even though they are
overwhelmed in the darkness.
With hard work and positive motivation, one may temporary
forget their transgressions and progress to doing some meaningful work to
elevate themselves back to normal.
Try not to remind them too much of those incidents and they
will be able to do fine for awhile. If successful, they will overcome the pain
they are facing and numb themselves with apathy.
Chapter 5:
Understanding
The Level Of Apathy
Synopsis
The homeless, the
hopeless… it is not the society or the environment that makes people apathetic
– it is people who believes consciously and subconsciously that life and it’s
static routine of boredom and a lack of a bright future that entraps the soul.
This chapter talks about:
Ø What the level of apathy is all about
Ø The difference between guilt and apathy
Ø What kind of people exist in this level of
consciousness
Ø How to get people to stop feeling apathetic
Ø Progressing from apathy to grief
Not caring is not the
solution. The problem will persist whether you like it or not. Not accepting
responsibility is not the solution either – the result will still be thrust
upon you whether you take responsibility or not. If you are in apathy or find
someone there, it is time to stand up and get out of this!
Understanding Apathy
Now we are progressing out of the pain and torture into the
level of apathy. A person in this stage is at a level of hopelessness and
despair. It is a stage of ‘I couldn’t care less’ or ‘I don’t give a ****
(insert any fecal related word here)’.
The person here is totally numb to everything that happens
around them. They don’t feel pain but they feel so numb that life doesn’t have
anything they can look forward to at all.
Better than guilt, they don’t feel anything at all – which
is better than one beating themselves up on a daily basis but not good enough
to make any forms of good contribution to society.
What Kind Of People Are At The Apathy
Level?
Homeless people, people who are extremely poor, people who
have ‘tried a lot of things’ without success and have practically given up on
success, a numb wage slave or some in an unemployed and completely hopeless
state.
A recession and depression can also send lots of people
temporarily (or in some cases permanently) to this level.
Getting Out Of Apathy
One of the most important things about people living in
apathy is the company that they keep.
They are mentally lazy to do anything about it and they
often hang around other numb individuals who are equally apathetic.
This is bad because they often reinforce each other’s
weaknesses to the point that they just don’t care anymore.
Changing their environment is very important. The first
thing they need to do is to change their friends – introduce some positive
individuals into their lives to show them the way.
This group of people is not ready to attend motivational
seminars yet because they are not aware of any fundamental need of improvement.
The key is to get them to feel something first. They just
don’t feel anything unlike the people at the grief stage.
