My Inauguration Day post occurred just after my post about Dr. David R. Hawkins and applied kinesiology. This stimulated a number of interesting search engine hits for how President Barack Obama rates on Dr. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness.
My understanding is that Dr. Hawkins himself does not publicize his findings about contemporary political figures. However, in theory, any person with integrity and some practice using applied kinesiology would come up with approximately the same result as Dr. Hawkins.
As I indicated in my post on Dr. Hawkins, I have played with applied kinesiology, but do not practice it routinely nor do I consider myself adept at its use. There’s a skeptic in me – the presumptive value of applied kinesiology muscle testing is subject to many interpretations.
Any one individual’s kinesiologic assessment of any other living person’s “rating” on the Map of Consciousness would be influenced by so many subjectivities that the value of the rating would be limited. This limitation would probably even apply to Dr. Hawkins’ assessments – which may be one reason he does not publicize his findings.
For what it’s worth (and it’s not worth much), when I played with the self-testing version of applied kinesiology to sleuth a rating for President Barack Obama, I tested consistently strong at level 500 and weak at 510. Further testing narrowed my rating of President Barack Obama to 507.
Dr. Hawkins defines a consciousness calibration level in the 400′s as that of Reason. Level 500 is the level of Love (spiritual lovingness rather than just interpersonal love). As one’s consciousness level ascends, he maintains knowledge and access to any lower levels, but his understanding is enhanced by any higher level of consciousness he achieves. It should be noted that Dr. Hawkins also states in several of his books that some historical figures start out fairly high on the Map of Consciousness early in life and subsequently, due to circumstances or choices, rank considerably lower later in their lives. Ascension apparently requires some vigilance for all of us.
Quoting Dr. David R. Hawkins in Transcending the Levels of Consciousness (2005):
“Reason and logic (i.e., science) are of great value within their appropriate paradigm. By level 500, via spiritual alignment, subjectivity also progressively becomes a major focus of experience that emphasizes the values of forgiveness, mercy, love, and devotion. It adds a different understanding to meaning and value that thereby influences the selection of options and choices as perceived by the intellect...
“The transition from the consciousness level of the 400s to the level of the 500s is a paradigm jump from the mental realm of linear symbols to nonlinear subjectivity. The mind is satisfied with the acquisition of knowledge but then discovers that alone it is insufficient to bring about transformation…”
Level 507 would be a great calibration for any world leader. But you’ll have to include my subjectivities when contemplating the accuracy of my findings. In spite of being a skeptic about the interpretive accuracy of applied kinesiology, I’m a fan of Dr. Hawkins’ spiritual writing in general. I’m a also fan and supporter of Barack Obama.
It’s always wise to consider the source of information you find on the internet.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Comments on this post are closed. In spite of super-qualifying my lack of expertise as a “calibrator of consciousness” in the body of this post, I quickly tired of reviewing political rants by those who disagree with my findings.
To commentors who did not get their unkind remarks about President Obama posted here, I have this advice: Start your own blog (it’s easy really). Blog-from-a-Hermit-Dot-Com is a not-for-profit, personal blog. As such, I have no obligation to provide a forum here for anyone’s political view other than my own. Furthermore, getting nasty (whether through comments or via e-mail) only demonstrates your lack of genuine understanding of the concepts of non-judgment and non-duality. If you like David Hawkins’ work, return to it and study a little harder.
Heres what I’m thinking, its going to be affected by your own perception of the energetics of each level. I would like to get some people who don’t know what the numbers mean to do the testing. That would be interesting. Great idea, though. I have no doubt he’s right up there.
Thank you for sharing. I have not personally done calibrations but do believe in them when they are done like a blind study. For example… putting photos of peope in envelopes (one in each) and sealing them and then doing the calibration not knowing which envelop holds which photo.
Could be interesting.
I believe Barack Hussein Obama calibrates around 420. 500′s seem a little high. Self testing can lead to funky results.
