Ⅰ Life and Pleasure

Is David A Hawkins A Spiritual Teacher

or Just a Pseudo?

Some people may think that every spiritual idea, like religion

and intuition, a stupid invention of mankind. Maybe such peo-
ple also won’t believe or try to understand human’s spirit or
spiritual power because it is not logical or scientific. Thus,
they will think such ideas have no appropriate evidenc, so
they are never trust worthy. Maybe many people who believe
in spiritual ideas will also think so. Whenever, could you be-

touching a substance that is bad the person’s muscles become weak while neutral or
helpful substances don’t have that reaction. Dr. David Hawkins applied this test to meas-
ure the conscious level of someone (or something). He conducted the experiment on
thousands of people around the world. The results were surprising: topics like Adolf Hitler,

Joseph Stalin, and the Old Testament (whose conscious levels are measured less than
200) made power of subjects’ muscles weaker, while themes like Buddha, Jesus and the
music of Beethoven and Mozart (with conscious levels are measured more than 200)
gave them power. He wrote about this more in his other book, Truth vs. falsehood: How
to tell the difference.
In 2012, before he died, he published his last book <Letting go>. There, Dr. David
