Sample Book Insights:
#1 Betty was 34 years old, but she looked much older because she was thin and drawn. She had developed a fear of muggers, rapists, and air pollution. She was too afraid of talking about psychological matters to improve.
#2 The Map of Consciousness is a reference guide to the spectrum of consciousness, charting the calibrated levels of energy. It ranges from 1 to 1,000, where 1 indicates existence and 1,000 indicates the highest level that has ever graced the planet.
#3 The level of Courage, which is the shift from negative to positive energy, is the energy of integrity, self-honesty, and real empowerment. The levels below Courage are antilife, whereas the levels above it are supportive of life.
#4 All living things react positively to what is life-supporting and negatively to what is life-threatening. This is the fundamental mechanism of survival. In humans, the capacity to detect change and react appropriately is far more developed than in trees.

#1

Betty was 34 years old, but she looked much older because she was thin and drawn. She had developed a fear of muggers, rapists, and air pollution. She was too afraid of talking about psychological matters to improve.

#2

The Map of Consciousness is a reference guide to the spectrum of consciousness, charting the calibrated levels of energy. It ranges from 1 to 1,000, where 1 indicates existence and 1,000 indicates the highest level that has ever graced the planet.

#3

The level of Courage, which is the shift from negative to positive energy, is the energy of integrity, self-honesty, and real empowerment. The levels below Courage are antilife, whereas the levels above it are supportive of life.

#4

All living things react positively to what is life-supporting and negatively to what is life-threatening. This is the fundamental mechanism of survival. In humans, the capacity to detect change and react appropriately is far more developed than in trees.

#5

The human mind is like a computer terminal connected to a giant database. The database is human consciousness, and it is the source of all information obtained sub- or suprationally. It is the fountainhead of genius and the source of uncanny psychic knowledge.

#6

The existence of a nonlinear, interconnected database of consciousness may be difficult to comprehend at first, but we will circle around this territory in several different ways so that, in the end, you will have not only understood the reality of consciousness but also realized your vital place within it.

#7

The evolution of this work, which began in 1965, was fostered by developments in numerous scientific fields. The new science of kinesiology was developed in the 1970s, and computers were designed that were capable of millions of calculations in milliseconds.

#8

The Newtonian paradigm is that A causes B causes C. In this scheme of material determinism, nothing is inherently free, but only the result of something else. It is thus limited. The world of force is what this system defines.

#9

The secret of the success of powerful people is their complete and total alignment to very high and powerful principles. Their entire lives are automatically and effortlessly organized by their complete and total alignment to those principles.

#10

The Declaration of Independence is a great example of how a principle such as love can be powerful. It explains that all people are equal by virtue of the divinity of their creation, and that they have intrinsic human rights.

#11

The Map shows the different levels of consciousness and the view of God that corresponds with each level. As you move up the scale, your view of yourself and your life becomes more and more positive, and you are finally comfortable with yourself.

#12

The list of levels is located to the right of the list of emotions. The emotions associated with each specific level are the classic stages found in perennial philosophy, psychoanalysis, and various religious traditions.

#13

The Map of Consciousness shows the process going on within consciousness itself. On the level of Pride, for example, inflation is the process going on within consciousness and is of particular danger in our society, with the contentious narcissism of I’m right and the ego inflation of the megalomaniac who leads the masses to their deaths.

#14

The level of consciousness an individual is capable of achieving is determined by the principles they’re committed to. To maintain progress in consciousness, there can be no wavering about principle. If an individual is not committed to a principle, they will inevitably fall back to a lower level of consciousness.

#15

The Map does not denote better than, which is a projection of the ego. It merely denotes position or location that, in turn, denotes associated characteristics. A large tree is not better than a small tree, and a brick at the bottom of the wall is not better than a brick at the top.

#16

When we use the living science of muscle-testing to calibrate the truth of something within the infinite field of consciousness, we are using the mechanism of quantum mechanics to collapse the wave function from potential to actual.

#17

Don't try to calibration your own consciousness, because you'll be unable to be objective. You'll have a vested interest in knowing your own level of consciousness, so you won't be able to get an accurate result.

#18

The first requirement of integrity on the Map of Consciousness is to be honest, and doubt and disbelief are the first signs of a major leap of consciousness. The nonbeliever may go through a process of seeking confirmable truth, which can be accelerated by the practice of meditation.

#19

The law of sensitive dependence on initial conditions refers to the fact that a slight variation over a course of time can lead to a profound change. This is an essential mechanism of all evolution. Committing to the practice of even one spiritual principle can lead to a profound change over time.

#20

The Map of Consciousness is a map of the levels of consciousness, with their corresponding numerical values on the calibrated scale of 1 to 1,000. The level 200 is the critical factor point, the fulcrum that divides the general areas of force from power.

#21

The level of Shame is dangerously close to death, which may be chosen out of Shame as conscious suicide or more subtly elected by failure to take steps to prolong life, as in passive suicide.

#22

Guilt is a powerful tool that is used to manipulate and punish people. It can manifest itself in a variety of ways, from remorse to self-recrimination to masochism.
