Map of Consciousness Explained
by David R. Hawkins

The Map of Consciousness Explained is an essential primer on the late Dr. David R. Hawkins's teachings on human consciousness and their associated energy fields.

Using muscle testing, Dr. Hawkins conducted more than 250,000 calibrations during 20 years of research to define a range of values, attitudes, and emotions that correspond to levels of consciousness. This range of values-along with a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1,000-became the Map of Consciousness, which Dr. Hawkins first wrote about in his New York Times bestseller, Power vs. Force.

In this book, readers will gain an introduction and deeper understanding of the Map, with visual charts and practical applications to help them heal, recover, and evolve to higher levels of consciousness and energy.

" A truly remarkable book "

BOOK REVIEW

The Map of Consciousness Explained is perhaps, the end of a series books, which collectively are potentially life changing for the individual and the planet. David R Hawkins passed away some years ago, but this book was only published last year in 2020. It is, as if it has been waiting in the winds for a year like 2020 to come along to be presented to the world.

However, The Map of Consciousness Explained does in fact stand alone. It turns out to be quite a summary of the most important aspect of Hawkins’ work - the Map of Consciousness itself (from here I will refer to it as the MOC - which refers to the concept, not the book). So one does not have to start at the beginning (Power VS Force - 1994), but it is possible to begin at the end. If one has not read Hawkins before, starting here may be an exciting and rewarding ride.

In the words of a short description of the book:

“ The Map of Consciousness Explained is an essential primer on the late Dr. David R. Hawkins’s teachings on human consciousness and their associated energy fields. Using muscle testing, Dr. Hawkins conducted more than 250,000 calibrations during 20 years of research to define a range of values, attitudes, and emotions that correspond to levels of consciousness ".

For the world this research is unique and adds incredible value to our society. For the Kinesiology field it is a remarkable example of what can come from the simple muscle test. The MOC itself is a whole new world of personal study and reflection on everything to do with human growth and endeavour in this universe.

The MOC rates human conditions from 1 - 1000, with things like anger, grief, fear, guilt etc at the lower end, and love, joy, peace and enlightenment etc at the higher end. But it is a logarithmic scale, so the levels do not increase by equal amounts but by many more factors as the ladder ascends. Consequently the gap between two adjacent conditions at the higher levels, is much more than the gap between two adjacent conditions at the lower levels.

It should be said here that the MOC is not a chart of judgement or that of comparison between human beings. Hawkins goes to great lengths to explain why, and how it works in respect to our own individual personal evolvement and our state of being. This is most important, as even through all this perspective that the books continually engages with, it is often hard to avoid falling into the trap of seeing the MOC as a range of comparative values between people and between things in society, especially in respect to looking at oneself and other people or situations that one knows.

The author does go into great depth explaining each of the levels on the MOC in a separate sense, but even more importantly, in a collective sense, as he talks about how they relate to each other and how the movement upward on the scale happens. He uses examples right across society from how a person might live their life to how parts of society function. The MOC is not just a scale of where a person might be in their life, or at a point in their life, but also of where groups, concepts, creations and ideologies function. This is so incredibly interesting and thought provoking.

Many books are presented as life changing, which is a big call to make. However The Map of Consciousness Explained truly fits into the life changing category. It is a remarkable book and worthy of reading. In fact I wholly recommend picking it up, just for the sake of us humans moving forward in these modern global times.

David R. Hawkins’ contribution to world via muscle testing is immense. While the muscle testing played its part, the credit is on the man who brought this information forward and in the manner in which he did. He was an inspiring and ‘enlightened’ human being and teacher who needs to be read more widely. His expression and words of wisdom in all his books are valuable and encouraging. Perhaps not all will resonate with them, but perhaps enough will, and in doing so will make our world a better place.
