May 29, 2008: Dr. Hawkins introduces a tremendous opportunity in learning to assess the truth of anything, and he clearly explains the simple technique and why it works. One of the greatest gifts of learning Dr. Hawkins? discovery in evaluating truth is in instantly determining the authenticity and integrity of spiritual teachings, as well as spiritual teachers and their own levels of integrity. The correct application of Dr. Hawkins? `consciousness research? technique provides the reader with an impeccable method of separating the fallacious teachers (regardless of their appeal, glamorization or even ?celebrity status?) from those that truly provide spiritual guidance with the utmost integrity, love and compassion. Furthermore, readers actually seeking truth realize an expanded level of consciousness and a significant leap in spiritual development, as well as a greater psychological understanding of ordinary yet often confusing human behavior. However, readers that are immersed in self-centeredness, trapped within the confines of their own egos, are severely irritated and can be prone to elaborate ranting upon reading the book. It is not for everyone, as not everyone is earnestly seeking truth. The spiritual devotee awakens upon reading Power vs. Force. This book was the cornerstone of my own spiritual awakening and development.

February 05, 2007: I will start by saying that if you are searching for absolute truth you will not find it in anything that is written down. This book has changed my life for the better. I recommend you experience it for yourself. The calibration numbers are not a 'foundation of judgment' of anything external or internal for that matter. If you read the book carefully you will see that Dr. Hawkings says the same thing. I think everyone has experienced the lower levels that he writes about. Hopefully it is ones goal to experience the higher levels of consciousness that are able to be obtained by anyone that has the will. If you are angry at Dr Hawkings that is great because you are one step away from something constructive. If you see a void in the way something is done, fill it. If you are a seeker then please don't hesitate. It will change the way you look at things.
