appetite, it constantly
consumes. Power, in contrast,
energizes, gives forth, supplies
and supports. Power gives life
and energy - force takes these
away. We notice that power is
associated with compassion and
makes us feel positively about
ourselves. Force is associated
with judgment and makes us
feel poorly about ourselves."
"Force always creates
counterforce; its effect is to
polarize rather than unify.
Polarization always implies
conflict; its cost, therefore, is
always high. Because force
incites polarization, it
inevitably produces a win/lose
dichotomy and because
somebody always loses,
enemies are created."
(Hawkins 2002, 132-133)
A person who exists in lower
levels of awareness is in the
endless cycles of karma and
fruitlessness. Surface life, no
spiritual heights or ecstatic
flights, no real sense of greater
reward and inner happiness is
ever experienced.
Life is in the reality from lower
"attractor fields".
“Instead of harnessing the true
‘power’ of higher states of

consciousness and elevated
attractor patterns, an individual
continuously uses "force" to
endlessly fight external
circumstances from lower
states. Although the effort might
be significant in terms of the
physical and psychological
exertion associated with
forceful work, no meaningful
progress can be made until the
individual engages higher
attractor patterns. Societal
development is only possible as
an increasingly large portion of
individuals embrace higher
attractor patterns and can
therefore support each other in
moving into higher states.”
