In David Hawkin’s book, Power vs. Force, he mentions that many great thinkers never transcended the level of consciousness known as Reason. This means that geniuses like Einstein, Newton, and so on, only scored a maximum of 499, and never made it to Love, which calibrates at 500.

This leads to an interesting question. Why is it that these brilliant men never seem to calibrate at Love? What would leave them unable to transcend the level of Reason and experience more advanced states of consciousness?The answer seems to be the mind itself. That is, at least the minds of these great men. In other words, advanced intelligence can actually become a hindrance to achieving advanced levels of consciousness.

This is unusual because intelligence is often a key factor in ascending the levels of consciousness up until Love. For example, it takes quite a bit of thinking to achieve Courage and decide that life is no longer scary, and that you’re going to try to make the most of it. And Reason makes particularly good use of intelligence, key factors being the attainment and analysis of large quantities of specific data to achieve desired results. Read the rest of this entry »

However, all levels from Love and above require something outside of the mind. Once a person finds their natural state of consciousness in the attractor fields of Love and higher, they are no longer slave to their mind. They are directed from something much greater. This is known as transcending the ego in most spiritual literature. At this point, they can still use their mind (and obviously do), but there is no longer the presence of an internal dialogue.. Instead, this incessant chattering is replaced by stillness and pure awareness.

Starting at 500 and becoming stronger as the numbers get higher, an intense presence starts forming. This presence is closer to intuition than traditional intelligence, and arises from consciousness or spirit rather than intellect. Intuition seems to arise out of a collective unconscious or some other unknown force connecting all humans, almost like a psychic ability. This is something that Einstein and the like didn’t always have access to. Read the rest of this entry »
