Description
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.

There are very few books I have read which I have hurled across the room in disgust. The author apparently is hoping that none of his readers remember their high school mathematics. If they did, they would find co-opted terminology and faulty mathematical reasoning leading to ludicrous conclusions.

I take no issue with spiritual or "new age" books which attempt to make their case using evidence from inner experience. But intentionally dressing it up with bad math in hopes that the layman will swallow this hogwash as science is unconscionable. Show Less

This is an excellent book that speaks of the difference between power and force. Power is quiet and requires no explanation. Force is coercive and creates an automatic counterforce.
This has great applicability for couples, parents and bosses. Standing on the side of truth, justice and all that
Whenever you attempt to make someone do something that they don't want to do, you are applying force. We do this through any number of behaviors such as manipulating, blaming, guilting, bribing, complaining, criticizing and coercing. This always creates a counterforce. Whenever you attempt to coerce someone else, you create a measure of resistance. This resistance may not show itself in your presence but it will manifest in the world in some way.
People will undermine your authority, talk behind your back, rally other's support or confront you to your face. You cannot win with force. If you think you have, know that it is only temporary. What goes around comes around. Read the book. Its message is powerful!

sustains life is power. This is strength of its own merit. Force represents all that is negative and life destructive.Whenever you attempt to make someone do something that they don't want to do, you are applying force.

An important read for anyone. Difficult to sort through but you can really open up and read any section. A keeper.

Excellent book that is a great starting point for an exploration of spirituality.

Not an easy book to read if you attempt to understand it with your conscious, rational mind. I found immense pleasure and insight in the understanding that happened 'beyond the mind' and found myself in unexplainable lightness and joy at times.
