Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment

The first book of David R Hawkins I read was  Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior-Author's Official Revised Edition 2012  around 2002. It was incredibly thought provoking as the idea of being able to determine and access truth about any person now or in the past, about any event or anything in history was awe inspiring to me. The book introduced a logarithmic scale of consciousness from 0 to 1,000 which Christ, Buddha and other great spiritual leaders have reached.David Hawkins gave this "Conscious Scale" section in the book names of which he designated 17. In Power Versus Force there were only a few pages on this fascinating scale.I was a bit disappointed there were only a few pages about it because these few pages were what I kept coming back to time and again over the next few years. I saw these pages as holding the key to diminishing my ego on my spiritual and personal growth journey in life.Soon after this period I was excited to discover the fantastic book Transcending the Levels of Consciousness was a full book of expansion on the 17 levels briefly described in Power Versus Force.The book accurately describes each level in a whole chapter. Each level we attain is like a mindset, a trap the person at that level can't easily escape. It's like the story of being trapped in a box and the instructions are on the outside of the box. Once you escape the box its obvious how you can, but you can't escape to read the instructions. This is so much like each level of human consciousness where we are always trapped by our mindset.Higher and broader levels of context are understood with each raising of your level, or number on the Consciousness Scale. I remember many years ago finding out I calibrated at 'only 235' just after I first discovered Power Versus Force. I was incredibly disappointed in my lowly calibration at that time as I was certain I would be much higher (my own ego).I then read and studied and thought about the 'level' I was on and the next level to reach as David so accurately describes in his book. His book become my escape path to much higher levels. I owe David and this book tremendous gratitude for my wonderful journey towards enlightenment and I could never have made the incredible progress without this road map.Some readers may not "get" the "17 Levels" concept in the book, which is sad as their own mindset could be preventing them from seeing the power of describing the levels not as a labeling system but as a road map to study to raise your consciousness to far higher levels... beyond happiness.I believe the one factor that makes all of David's books the best collection of personal growth and spiritual growth books available in the world today is that they are are 'calibrated' on the "Consciousness Scale" for their level of content of truth. The level of calibration is scientific in approach as any qualified and experienced kinesiologist anywhere in the world can verify the content and calibration levels.Another excellent book of David's is  Truth vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the Difference . I highly recommend it with this book as a pair to buy at the same time as either book will leave you wanting more of truth!

Perhaps the 3 most valuable books on earth are the Bible (because it outlines the Atonement), Transcending the Levels of Consciousness, and Letting Go (also by dr. Hawkins) Transcending the Levels of Consciousness and Letting Go, in addition to perhaps literally being the two most valuable books on earth with the exception of the Bible, complement each other. -this review is from someone who's scavenged this earth's greatest literature, from Upanishads through the Dharmmapada, from the Analects of Confusious, to the Tao Te Ching, from the TaNaKh and Zohar through the New Testament and Gnostic texts, to the Koran, the (shorter) Summa, the writings of St. Francis, Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed, from the latter-day saint scriptures besides the bible (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Lectures on Faith, etc.) (Where I find the most truth in Christianity -and Christianity being where I find the most truth on this earth), to A Course on Miracles, from the philosophical writings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, to the stoic ideologies of Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca the Younger, to the work of Newton, Plank, Bohr, Faraday, Maxwell, and Thomson, to Einstein, Schrödinger, and Hawking, etc. And yet when I say perhaps literally the 2 most valuable books beside the bible itself (and additional scriptures had among the latter-day saints), I literally mean it. Worthy of note are three other books from Hawkins that are also of *great* value as well, they are, respectively, The Eye of the I, I: Reality and Subjectivity, and Discovery of the Presence of God. I hope this helps! Gloria in excelsis Deo 😊

Great read that puts many emotional concepts on paper in an easy to understand way that let me implement right away.

Fantastic book! If you liked Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” and you’re passionate about elevating your consciousness- this is the book for you! I’ve been reading it slowly for about 2 months and it’s truly helped me get closer to God. We have the power to cure so much of our suffering and this book helps you unlock that. It’s been amazing helping other friends who are struggling with shame, guilt, apathy, etc after learning the tools from this book.

Everything was exactly what they said.Correct book truthful condition truthful delivery time.For a book there really isn't any room for improvement

Written by a dr and an enlightened person. This is a rare combination and helpful for those who are seekers of info from that perspective.Only experience will provide the wisdom of this book is valuable to you, but I suggest that you be "significantly" on your spiritual path (meditate with ease, have a sense of your "self" for the words to have meaning and not seem tedious.

For anyone interested in spirituality, I highly recommend this. Starting off simple, he builds upon and reviews the information as the book progresses, so this is suitable for a "beginner" or anyone new to his work. I've listened to more than 10 of his lectures on audible, watched a few of his lectures on vimeo, and have 'skimmed' & own several of his other ebooks on kindle."Discovery of the Presence of God: Devotional Nonduality" is one of my favorite kindle ebooks I have of his. I hope this helps.

I have brought the book on Audile. Regularly, repeatedly, keep listening, so finally decided to buy a hard copy.

It will transform your life!

I've been learning from David R. Hawkins for years. By far my mentor in spirituality. I've learned and evolved in all directions in my life thanks to his work. Thank you immensely

If you are interested in anything from the mind and consciousness, social issues, theology, spirituality ,the origins of the universe or the meaning of life - then do yourself a favour and just get this book. If nothing else, you will find an interesting new and intelligent perspective. At best, you will understand and believe how you have propelled the evolution of your consciousness simply by exposing yourself to this material. If you are reading this, then perhaps you are ready to read this. As Hawkins says, "If not you, then who? If not now, then when?"
