Discover how to transcend the limitations of the ego, relieve suffering, and advance your consciousness in this masterpiece from world-renowned author, psychiatrist, clinician, and spiritual teacher, David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. The now widely known Map of calibrated levels of Consciousness was presented in Power vs. Force in 1995 and has been translated into all the world's major languages. This was followed by The Eye of the I (2001), I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003), and Truth vs. Falsehood (2005), which explored the levels of Truth reflected throughout society. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness expands on this work and returns to the exploration of the ego's expressions and limitations, giving detailed explanations and instructions on how to transcend them. "I consider myself a student of David Hawkins and return to his books and work time and time again. His wisdom deeply resonates with my lived experiences; he is often able to beautifully articulate what I cannot put into words." - Vex King As with the reading of Dr. Hawkins' previous books, your level of consciousness will advance from exposure to the information itself. This opens up avenues to the relief of suffering, which fulfills the purpose of the work and the intention to facilitate your own Enlightenment. This transformative personal growth book combines elements of psychology, spirituality, and philosophy, and invites you to explore the profound depths of your own consciousness, Hawkins' genius consciousness concept will inspire you to reach new heights of spiritual and personal development. Transcending The Levels of Consciousness is a monumental testament to the boundless potential of the human spirit. It is an empowering book that offers inspiration and motivation on your journey of self-discovery. Experience the profound wisdom of Dr. David Hawkins, as he elegantly blends spirituality, psychology, and philosophy to create a comprehensive roadmap to unlock the divine potential within you so that you can step into a higher consciousness.
I've been a fan of David Hawkins work since I was introduced to it in 2004. I've read the first 3 books of what is now referred to as his trilogy (Power vs. Force, Eye of the I and I), and now this book. This is the most accessible of his writings, in terms of structure and nomemclature for people seeking to understanding levels of consciousness. So if you haven't read a David Hawkins book before, this is a good place to start. Long-term fans of his work may miss the scholarly and more advanced tone of Eye of the I or I, but this book provides a better "how to" look at advancing your level of consciousness, and the blocks and positionalities that define each level to be transcended for the spritual seeker on the way to enlightenment. And fans of his Map of Consciousness will be pleased to find numerous other charts that diagram ideas and perspectives that provide insight into his writing. David Hawkins writing continues to be a unique contribution to the needs of spiritual seekers.

I add my voice to the chorus of others speaking about this man changing their lives. His books have been THE motivators and manuals in my spiritual development, realization and advancments. I too had the chance to attend one of his seminars and the energy in the conference was amazing. If he is in your area then I HIGLY recommend that you attend as this man is probably the most inspiring person, mystic and teacher on the planet today. At the seminar I attended I had the chance to meet Dr. Hawkins up-close. I asked for a picture and put my arm around him for the photo. As I placed my hand around him his beautiful energy poured into mine and I was instantly invigorated and blostered. He then looked up at me and said, "Hello. It's good to see you." I was so touched that he seemed to recognize my energy and I came away from the whole experience exhausted but floating on air. Again, I urge ANY spiritual aspirant (regardless of your "religion," if you have one) to get and read all of his books. They WILL change your life for ever and for the better. Namaste.
A True Gift from Spirit

I was so inspired by this book that it was imperative that I write a review (my first ever). I believe that another reviewer mentioned that "if you are reading this, then you are likely on a spiritual path" or something to that effect, so that is my assumption... I read Power vs. Force some time ago and really enjoyed it. As a typical aspirant, you want to read more and more to satisfy your hunger for improvement on the path. This book is a real treasure and has answered MANY questions that were in my mind on how to progress on the path and calmed many of my ego spiritual fantasies about everything from becoming monastic to creating a spiritual council etc. etc. The real joy of this book is in it's simplicity and calming affect. I've had it for < 2weeks and have read it twice. Dr. Hawkins as a spiritual teacher is a true gift from God for our times and this book is a real jewel. Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
"What it is"....Empowering.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Transcending the Levels of Conciousness is the prolific author's latest book of Jan.2006. I fully agree with the first two reviewers. It has been described as a practical manual...yes but it's much more, covering a lot of territory. As it is focused on conciousness studies and personal growth, it will (happily) not be a source of controversy. Here Dr.Hawkins expands his insights, analogies and descriptions even more in this very useful companion to the previous books, yet it can stand alone...a wealth of information. Each chapter begins with an overview putting all in context. Seventeen aspects of conciousness are described, and even brain function research. And 29 tables are provided, including some Q & A, many more tips for students and also updated info about the muscle testing technique in Appendix C. Again Dr.Hawkins explains the unexplainable with his marvelous vocabulary, always very at home with the abstract & subjective experience, providing delightful and mind boggling concepts of creation, matter, space and time. Inspiring and user friendly.
A Clear and Understandable Roadmap to a Better Life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Over the past couple years I have read all of Dr. Hawkins' books since Power vs. Force and was fortunate enough to attend one of his seminars. During the time I've been contemplating this material, my life has changed so much for the better I can't even begin to describe it. Suffice it to say that previously HOPELESS situations in my life and the lives of my loved ones have completely turned around. Dr Hawkins' latest book "Transcending the Levels of Consciousness" is his clearest book yet describing the ego we were all born with and how to transcend it. The Map of the Scale of Consciousness is both simple and profound. I've studied psychology and religion for years (I'm 44) and have not found a better paradigm for the human condition. The fact that you are reading this review means you are probably on a path of spiritual growth. Read this book! It will save you years of heartache and misunderstandings regarding the nature of the ego, divinity, and how to let go of the positionalities that hang like clouds between you and the pure light of unconditional love and enlightenment. Thank you Dr. Hawkins for your dedication to the liberation of the human spirit from the bondage of adversity and limitation that besets mankind from both within and without. Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
