The Evolution of Consciousness
ByPublisher Description
Spiritual teacher and best-selling author of Letting Go offers a thorough explanation of the levels of consciousness.
In this book, renowned spiritual teacher Dr. David R. Hawkins offers an in-depth look at each level in the Map of Consciousness®, and how it relates in general to the whole field of consciousness. He also defines what is meant by linear and nonlinear, content and context, as well as the radical state of subjectivity, awareness, and consciousness.
The Map of Consciousness® is used to illuminate the understanding of the ego and our programs and how to be free of them.

Spiritual work is making choices that move us up toward the Light.

Throughout, Dr. Hawkins speaks on the emergence of positive spiritual energy that is dominating the consciousness field of mankind with profound implications for everyone.
"The whole use of this scale, the whole use of what we learn from it is merely to support the intention on the part of everyone here to move forward in consciousness and to fulfill the human potential."
