"To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself." --David Hawkins

Measuring Emotions

Can you measure anger, love, joy? After 20 years of research, Dr. David Hawkins says yes. In his book "Power vs. Force", he presents a tool for assessing value and motive and creates a "Map of Consciousness" that illuminates the spiritual ladder we must follow as a race and as individuals. Using this method, Dr. Hawkins has made a logarithmic scale ranking of different levels of energy, from shame (20) to courage (200) to enlightenment (700 – 1,000). Of all the individuals he rated, Mother Teresa was the highest at 700!
