THE MAP OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr David Hawkins’ Scale

The Map of Consciousness is a tool that I use regularly in my business and work with clients whether looking at their level individually or their culture or company. I find it an incredibly useful reference tool to understand where someone is at now on the emotional scale and what can be done to support them to make the shift to the next level of consciousness. Here’s a bit about its history and how it can be applied to business and personal development.

Background

The Map of Consciousness Scale was created by Dr. David Hawkins, a psychiatrist, who experienced several life-altering events throughout his life.  Following each event, he noticed a change in his state of consciousness from an lower frequency ego-based focus to a higher state of love bliss where he felt constantly connected. The experiences prompted him to pursue understanding how and why the changes occurred and how his discoveries may assist humankind to “address the causes of the endless stream of spiritual distress and human suffering”.

The Map of Consciousness is a numerical scale whereby one can measure positive from negative, power from force and truth from falsehood. Dr. Hawkins believes that every word, every thought, and every intention creates what is called a morphogenetic field, or attractor field, and that these energy fields can be measured using  Kinesiology. or muscle testing. You can purchase your own copy of the Map of Consciousness here.

Dr. Hawkins’ research discovered that this kinesiologic response conveys man’s capacity to differentiate not only positive from negative stimuli, but also anabolic  from catabolic, and very dramatically, truth from falsity. The Map of Consciousness reflects millions of calibrations of statements, thoughts, photos, art, music,  influential world leaders in every discipline and in almost every area  of human endeavour.  The research carried on for over 20 years to come up effectively with an anatomy of consciousness that reflects the entire human condition.

Several other leaders in psychology, spirituality and consciousness have now refined and use Dr Hawkins scale as a starting point for their own methods including Elena Bensonoff and Alejandro Ferradas who use the scale along with other measures to reveal the consciousness levels of well-known people, systems, artefacts.

Dr Hawkins pointed out that the critical point between positive and negative, between true and false, or between constructive and destructive is at the calibrated level of 200. This scale is a logarithmic progression.  Therefore, the level of 300 is not twice the amplitude of 150; it is 10 to the 300th power.   An increase of even a few points is indicative of a major advance in power.

Levels Below 200

The lower levels of consciousness include Shame, Guilt/Hate, Apathy, Grief, Fear, Desire, Anger and Pride.  These levels are the most painful that we experience and it is the pain that these levels create that drive us in our desire for understanding and inner growth.   These levels are dominated by falsehood.

Dr. Hawkins describes these lower levels of consciousness as ego dominated life where one thrives in survival mode only. Below the 200 level, an individual tends to be left-brain dominant, which means that input goes directly to the amygdala, so emotional response is triggered before intelligence and cognition. 

Interesting Facts that Dr Hawkins found:

• Powerful patterns are associated with health; weak patterns are associated with sickness. Every thought, emotion, word & action has one pattern or the other. Every moment of our day we are either moving towards health or sickness.

• Everything calibrates at certain levels from weak to high including books, food, water, clothes, people, animals, buildings, cars, movies, sports, music etc.

• A good amount of the music today calibrates at levels below 200 eg: rap music. Hence it leads to behavior associated with lower energy levels of consciousness.

• Most movies will weaken people who watch them by bringing their energy levels down below the 200 level of consciousness.

• Around the year 2000, 85% of the human race calibrates below the critical level of 200.

• The power of the few individuals at the top counterbalances the weakness of the masses.

KEY FINDINGS

• 1 individual at level 300 counterbalances 90,000 individuals below level 200

• 1 individual at level 400 counterbalances 400,000 individuals below level 200

• 1 individual at level 500 counterbalances 750,000 individuals below level 200

• 1 individual at level 600 counterbalances 10 million individuals below level 200

• 1 individual at level 700 counterbalances 70 million individuals below level 200

• 12 individuals at level 700 equal one Avatar (eg. Buddha, Jesus, Krishna) at level 1,000

• Any meaningful human satisfaction cannot even commence until the level of 250 where some degree of self-confidence begins to emerge.

• When one’s consciousness falls below 200 at any given moment you start to lose power and thus grow weaker and more prone to be manipulated by one’s surroundings.

• Parts of one’s life will calibrate at a higher level of consciousness while other parts will calibrate a lower levels. It’s the overall average that determines one’s consciousness.

Dr Hawkins’ book Power vs. Force and his associated map of consciousness has been a groundbreaking work for those interested in human-consciousness development. In this continuum we can clearly see where we as individuals function and where we can arrive. A view into what could be our potential is inspiring.

AJ’s Personal Frequency Reading

In 2020 I had a Vibrational Frequency Analysis reading done by pharmacist and quantum medicine practitioner Elena Bensonoff and her partner Alejandro Ferradas. These consciousness readings are based on a system designed by Elena and Alejandro that draws from the Consciousness Scale created by Dr. Hawkins. These readings do not make any factual claims about the subjects but only the opinion of Elena and Alejandro however they provide a very useful guide and lots of insight into your personal journey and history affecting your frequencies. To find out more about their work visit Wholistic Services | Elena Bensonoff.

In full transparency and for those curious, I provide a copy of my frequency analysis as it stood in 2020 here.
