Details how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. Dr. Hawkins, who worked as a 'healing psychiatrist' during his long and distinguished career, uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. This is a fascinating work that will intrigue readers from all walks of life! Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact, he's governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control.… (more)

I don’t know how I got suckered into buying this book, but it’s one of the worst things I ever read. This is cult tier stuff masquerading as science. ( )

Big claims with impenetrable explanations. ( )

Informative book on consciousness. However, I do not believe human consciousness can be graded on a scale. I believe we are very fluid and our consciousness move from high to low. Also, I believe we can have mutliple emotions and personality depending on what we are doing and thinking and as such, we will have different consciousness, subconscious or not.

3.5 stars. will reread again in the future. ( )

This is a discourse of what it means to understand and act upon one's intuitive and higher mind capabilities. The premise is that our bodies will respond to things that are "true" or have power, with a level of ease. Alternatively, when something is "false" it will have an element of forced nature to it- trying to make something that it isn't or shouldn't be. I appreciated the simplicity of the conversation and also the scale in which we move through the levels of that sensitivity. It is not a scale to be graded on, as some reviewers may suggest- but rather a road map of how far we have ascended from complete unawareness, apathy, and disillusionment. ( )
