The famous consciousness researcher David Hawkins, using applied kinesiology, developed a map of consciousness. According to this map, human consciousness is divided into levels, each of which has a dominant emotion and perception of life, and a certain amount of energy available.
The higher we go on the scale, the correspondingly the amount vital energy increases and the perception of life changes in better side The lower, our energy is lower and our emotions are more negative.The values on the map are not arithmetic, but logarithmic, meaning that each energy level increases exponentially.Sir David Hawkins is known as a psychiatrist, writer, teacher and researcher, and spiritual teacher. Dr. Hawkins was looking for a way to restore a person’s connection with a higher reality, with a higher level of consciousness.
And I found it in applied kinesiology, which confirms the existence of a connection between muscle tone and condition internal organs, as well as a person’s mental well-being. Considering consciousness as a single information (energy) field through which the Truth can be cognized, David Hawkins contrasted it with the human mind, which is unable to distinguish true from false.
David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness
To gain access to consciousness, he suggested using a simple a kinesiological muscle test that determines whether a statement is true or false depending on muscle tone.
The muscles of the body instantly weaken in the absence of Truth or become strong in its presence.
With this bridge between mind and body, between embodied and non-embodied, one can get a yes or no answer to almost any question.
"With the help of this simple tool can explain and document the exact nature of everything in the universe, at any given time. Everything that exists or has existed, without exception, radiates frequency and vibration as a permanent trace in the impersonal field of consciousness, and the information can be obtained by muscle testing through self-awareness.”(from the book “Power and Violence” by D. Hawkins)
Map of consciousness according to D. Hawkins
David Hawkins' research led to the creation of a system for calibrating human consciousness. Hawkins suggests determining the level of consciousness using the same muscle test. Using it, he calibrated the truth levels of many phenomena in our lives.
Levels of consciousness according to Hawkins: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, intelligence, love, joy, peace, enlightenment.
At every moment in life there is a predominant “normal” state.
The transition from a low level to a higher level is accompanied by a significant change in life.
David Hawkins' research led to the creation of a system for calibrating human consciousness.
Calibration of consciousness according to D. Hawkins
A shame(shame) – one step to death. Suicide or serial killer rates. In other words, it is hatred directed at oneself.
Guilt(guilt) – a level above shame, but there may be thoughts of suicide. A person thinks of himself as a sinner and cannot forgive himself for past actions.
Apathy(apathy) – a person feels hopeless or torments himself. Complete conviction of your helplessness. Many homeless people are stuck at this level.
Grief(grief) – a level of endless sadness and loss. You can come here after the loss of a loved one. Depression. Still higher than apathy, because the person begins to get rid of numbness.
Fear(fear) - the world seems dangerous and unreliable. A person needs help, otherwise he will remain trapped for a long time, for example in a “suppressive” relationship.
Wish(desire) is the level of aspiration, bad habits and passions - for money, approval, power, fame. This is the level of smoking, alcohol and drugs. Consumption. Materialism.
Anger(anger) – a level of disappointment, often due to the inability to fulfill desires born at the previous level. This level can spur a person to action at higher levels, or make him drown in hatred. In “suppressive” relationships, you can often see a couple: one is filled with anger, the other with fear.
Pride(pride) – the first level, when a person begins to feel good, but this is a false feeling.
It depends on external environment(money, prestige) and therefore it is vulnerable. Pride can lead to nationalism, racism and religious wars.
Level of irrational self-denial and self-defense. Religious fundamentalists also belong to this level. A person becomes so attached to his faith that you perceive any attack on your picture of the world as an attack on yourself.
Bravery(courage) – the first level of real strength.
Here a person begins to see that life is full of challenges, it is exciting, and not at all overwhelming. There is a hint of interest in personal development, although at this level the person calls it advancement, career, education. A person begins to see his future as growth relative to the past, and not just as its continuation.
Neutrality(neutrality) – it can be described by the phrase “allow yourself to be yourself and others to be different”.
Flexible, relaxed and unburdened life. There is no need to prove anything to anyone. A lot of self-employed people are at this level. Very comfortable place. This is the level of contentment and laziness. A person takes care of his needs, but does not strain himself.
Readiness(willingness) - when a person feels safe and comfortable, he begins to use his energy more effectively.
Just making ends meet doesn't seem like a good idea anymore. He pays attention to working well, perhaps even showing his top scores. Thoughts appear about time management, productivity and self-organization, concepts that were not so important at the neutral level.
This is the level of development of will and discipline.
Such people are the “soldiers” of our society; they do their job and don't complain too much. This is the level where consciousness becomes more organized and disciplined.
Adoption(acceptance) - a powerful shift now occurs, and the person awakens to the possibilities of an active life.
This is the level of setting and achieving goals. A person begins to accept (take on) responsibility for his role in this world. If something in life is not in order (career, health, relationships), he determines the desired state and achieves it.
A person begins to see the full picture of his life more clearly. This level encourages many people to change careers, start new business.
Intelligence(reason) - at this level a person overcomes the emotional aspects of the lower levels and begins to think clearly and rationally.
Hawkins defines it as the level of medicine and science. When a person reaches this level, he has the ability to use the powers of the mind to their full potential.
He now has the discipline and drive to fully express his innate abilities. The person reaches a point where he says, “Great. I can do it all and I know I have to find it correct application. So what’s the best way to use my talents?” At its extreme, this is the level of Einstein and Freud.
Love(love) – I don’t like Hawkins’ label “love” here because it is not the emotion of love.
This unconditional love, a constant understanding of one's connection with everything that exists. Think about compassion! At the level of intelligence, your life works for the head.
But in the end it turns out to be a dead end, you fall into a trap where there is too much intelligence. You see that you need a broader context than just thinking for your own sake. At the level of love, your head and all other talents begin to work on your heart (not on emotions, but on a greater sense of good and evil - on your consciousness).
This is the level of awakening to your true purpose. Your motives at this level are pure and untainted by the passions of your ego. This is the level of lifelong service to humanity. At this level, you begin to be guided by forces greater than yourself. It's a liberating feeling. Intuition becomes extremely powerful. Hawkins claims that only 1 in 250 people reach this level in their lifetime.
Joy(joy) – a feeling of penetrating and unshakable happiness.
Eckhart Tolle talks about it in his lecture The Power of Now. This is the level of advanced spiritual teachers. At this level, you will feel amazing just being around people.
Here life is completely controlled by intuition and coincidences. There is no longer a need for goals and detailed plans - your expanded consciousness allows you to operate with higher concepts. Near death events can temporarily raise you to this level.
World(peace) – complete transcendence. Hawkins says that this level is reached by one in 10 million.
Enlightenment(enlightenment) - the highest level of human consciousness, where humanity is combined with divinity.
The hierarchy of levels of human consciousness was described by David Hawkins in his book Power vs. Force. In his concept, the author relies on R. Sheldrake’s hypotheses about the existence of “morphogenetic fields” and K. Pribram’s holographic model of the brain.
The scale for measuring awareness proposed by Hawkins has a range from 0 to 1000 conventional values of the activity of energy fields generated by consciousness.
Each of the 17 levels of consciousness corresponds to various mental states and a certain level of activity of energy fields. An important note is given that the figures do not represent arithmetic progression, and the logarithm is base 10.
1 denotes existence as such (bacteria), and 1000 denotes the highest level of development of consciousness in the physical body (Jesus, Buddha, Krishna). Most people barely reach the level of Truth (200).
Hawkins defines a boundary line (conventional indicator = 200), below which a person’s main goals are survival and the manifestation of his animal instincts, and above it, the desire for harmony and positivism increases, and the well-being of other people gradually becomes important.
This scheme explains the interdependence of the level of consciousness and the amount of strength, vital energy that a person possesses - the higher his creativity and positivism, the higher the potential of the energy fields that he generates.
In the concepts proposed by D. Hawkins and O. Oris, the personality psyche is described as the complex dynamics of multi-level processes. The progression of evolution along the scale does not occur in a strictly linear manner within any one level, but rather the process occurs in accordance with the distribution of interest.
A person consistently acquires a spectrum of different levels life experience, then “going back”, then “running forward”, and only by the average dynamics of his mental and sensory activity, choices and actions can one judge the range of activity of consciousness. Moreover, in different areas In life, a person can manifest himself through radically different levels of consciousness.
Mental Activity Scale (map of consciousness) by D. Hawkins
The figure shows a scale of mental activity in the format proposed by the author: emotion, its corresponding energy level, key perception of oneself (life) and the divine.
According to the proposed model, starting from the level of courage, a person is able to overcome obstacles on the way to a goal, trusting life and others to a greater extent, perceiving obstacles as incentives for development. It is from a state of courage that a person’s conscious, creative creativity begins.
All states characterized by a mark below 200 characterize varying degrees of frustration and destructive impulses of the individual in relation to himself and the surrounding reality.
The author calls the critical point marked “200” a transition zone between negative and positive, dual and more conscious holistic thinking.
The most “gross” forms of manifestation of mental activity, according to this scale, are apathetic, depressive states, in which a person driven by instincts is capable of extreme aggressiveness and destructiveness, despite the unfavorable consequences for himself.
It is noteworthy that as a result of many years of research, D. Hawkins provides the following general characteristics collective level of consciousness of humanity:
“The collective level of human consciousness has remained at 190 for centuries and, strangely, has risen to its current level of 204 only within the last decade.”
Crossing the 200 mark also symbolizes the transition from violence to strength as a creative resource.
How can you test and increase your level of consciousness?
Let's use the scale of control and increase in vibration frequency by D. Hawkins.
If you analyze the habits, preferences, most regular activities and lifestyle of a person, you can get an indicator of his level of consciousness, since the influence of different practices and types of activities on the development of consciousness has been noticed. Each item listed on the scale is a comparative indicator measured based on the “average person.”
It is assumed that the factors listed in the scale items represent regular practices that are fully integrated into the personality and lifestyle. Wherein, apparent activity definitely does not increase frequency!
The same is true with skill.
When something regularly practiced becomes a skill, it equates to maximizing the benefits of achieving complete mastery in that area.
However, some of the categories below have a relatively small percentage of benefit, but are vital when working as serious energetic anchors that hold energetic evolution.
Other categories have greater benefit, but are optional because they represent one of several possible (alternative) ways to increase the frequency of energy.
All these factors taken together have a complex impact on quantitative indicators. However, it is clear that A constant increase in vibration up to 500% is available due to the right combination practitioner Considering the scale itself, it is already possible to achieve certain results.
Hawkins Vibration Frequency Control and Raising Scale
Numerical and letter designations are used as basic indicators of the scale.
Numbers- this is the maximum degree of vibration increase available when using each point/practice, assuming that the average person starts at 200. That is, the base frequency given on the comparative scale is added to this value.
Letters indicate four levels of importance of influencing vibration frequency:
F – vital; OB – very important; B – important; A – alternative.

David R. Hawkins, in his book Power vs. Force, described the hierarchy of levels of human consciousness. This is a very interesting approach.
Although people can switch from one level to another, there is usually one predominant "normal" state. If you are reading this article, you are probably at least at the level courage, because at lower levels you wouldn't have the problem conscious interest in personal development.
Hawkins came up with the names of the levels. He talks about a logarithmic scale: there are much fewer people at the upper levels than at the lower levels. Each transition from a low level to a higher level is accompanied by a significant change in life.
A shame(shame) - one step to death. You're probably contemplating suicide here. Or you're a serial killer. In other words, it is hatred directed at oneself.
Guilt(guilt) - a level above shame, but you may have suicidal thoughts. You think of yourself as a sinner and cannot forgive yourself for your past actions.
Apathy(apathy) - you feel hopeless or torment yourself. Complete conviction of your helplessness. Many homeless people are stuck at this level.
Grief(grief) - a level of endless sadness and loss. You can come here after the loss of a loved one. Depression. Still higher than apathy, because you begin to get rid of the numbness.
Fear(fear) - the world seems dangerous and unreliable. Paranoia. Usually you need help to rise above this level or you will remain trapped for a long time
Wish(desire) - not yet burdened with setting and achieving goals, this is the level of aspiration, bad habits and passion - for money, approval, power, fame, etc. Consumption. Materialism. This is the level of smoking, alcohol and drugs.
Anger(anger) - a level of disappointment, often due to the inability to fulfill desires born at the previous level. This level can spur you to action at higher levels, or make you drown in hatred.
Pride(pride) - the first level, when you start to feel good, but this is a false feeling. It depends on the external environment (money, prestige, ...) and therefore it is vulnerable. Pride can lead to nationalism, racism and religious wars. Remember the Nazis. Level of irrational self-denial and self-defense. Religious fundamentalists also belong to this level.
Bravery(courage) - the first level of real strength. Here you begin to see that life is full of challenges and it is exciting and not at all overwhelming. You begin to have a hint of interest in personal development, although at this level you will probably refer to it as skill enhancement, career, promotion, education, etc. You begin to see your future as growth relative to the past, and not just as its continuation.
Neutral t (neutrality) - it can be described by the phrase “live and let live.” Flexible, relaxed and unburdened life. No matter what happens, you get out of it.
You don't have to prove anything to anyone. You feel safe and get along well with people. A lot of self-employed people are at this level. Very comfortable place. This is the level of contentment and laziness. You take care of your needs without stressing yourself out.
Readiness(willingness) - when you feel safe and comfortable, you begin to use your energy more effectively. Just making ends meet doesn't seem like a good idea anymore. You pay attention to performing well, even performing at your best. This is the level of development of will and discipline.
Such people are the “soldiers” of our society; they do their job and don't complain too much. If you are in school, you are a really good student; you take your homework seriously and put in the time to do it well. This is the level where consciousness becomes more organized and disciplined.
Adoption(acceptance) - a powerful shift is now taking place and you are awakening to the possibilities of proactive living. At the readiness level you have become competent, and now you want to find your abilities good use. This is the level of setting and achieving goals. Essentially this means that you begin to accept (take) responsibility for your role in this world.
If something in life is not okay (career, health, relationships), you determine the desired state and achieve it. You begin to see the bigger picture of your life more clearly. This level motivates many people to change careers, start a new business, or take charge of their diet.
Intelligence(reason) - at this level you transcend the emotional aspects of the lower levels and begin to think clearly and rationally. Hawkins defines it as the level of medicine and science. Upon reaching this level, the ability to use the abilities of the mind to their full potential appears. You now have the discipline and proactivity to fully express your innate abilities. You reach a point where you say, “Great. I can do it all, and I know I have to put it to good use. So what's the best way to use my talents?" You look around and start doing things that matter to the world. At its extreme, this is the level of Einstein and Freud. Obviously, most people never achieve it in their lifetime.
Love(love) is unconditional love, a constant understanding of one’s connection with everything that exists. Think about compassion. At the level of intelligence, your life works for the head. But in the end it turns out to be a dead end, you fall into a trap where there is too much intelligence. You see that you need a broader context than just thinking for your own sake. At the level of love, your head and all other talents begin to work on the heart (not on emotions, but on a greater sense of good and evil - on your consciousness). As I see it, this is the level of awakening for your true purpose.
Your motives at this level are pure and untainted by the passions of your ego. This is the level of lifelong service to humanity. Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer.
At this level, you begin to be guided by forces greater than yourself. It's a liberating feeling. Intuition becomes extremely powerful. Hawkins claims that only 1 in 250 people reach this level in their lifetime.
Joy(joy) - a feeling of penetrating and unshakable happiness - the level of saints and advanced spiritual teachers.
At this level, you will feel amazing just being around people. Here life is completely controlled by intuition and coincidences. There is no longer a need for goals and detailed plans - your expanded consciousness allows you to operate with higher concepts. Near death events can temporarily raise you to this level.
World(peace) - complete transcendence. Hawkins says that this level is reached by one in ten million.
Enlightenment(enlightenment) - the highest level of human consciousness, where humanity is combined with divinity. Extremely rare. This is the level of Jesus. Even thinking about people at this level can raise your consciousness.
I hope this model appears worth it to think about it. Not only people, but also objects, events and even entire communities can be assessed at these levels. In your life you can see that its different parts are located on different levels , but you will be able to determine your current overall level.
It seems to me that the most important work that we can do as humans - raise your personal level of consciousness. When we do this we spread higher levels consciousness for everyone around.
