The Practice of Positive Energy

Preface

A multidimensional view

The following is a collection of learnings on consciousness, energy and spiritual practice — topics we rarely encounter in daily life. The benevolent see benevolence; the wise see wisdom. Take what resonates.

Foundation

Matter is energy

E = mc²

Einstein's mass–energy equivalence says that matter is energy. Physicists have shown that every solid in the world is made of spinning particles.

Those particles vibrate at different frequencies, and that vibration shapes the world as we see it — our bodies included. Science has measured that the human body vibrates at different frequencies under different physical and mental states.

Research

Dr. David R. Hawkins' discovery

Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927–2012), a renowned American psychiatrist, applied the principles of kinesiology across more than thirty years of clinical research. His subjects spanned the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Northern Europe, across races, cultures, industries and ages — thousands of people and millions of data points. Rigorous statistical analysis showed that every level of human consciousness corresponds to a measurable energy index, and that the body grows stronger or weaker with one's mental state.

Map of Consciousness

Human consciousness is mapped on a logarithmic scale of 1–1000 across 17 levels. His landmark book Power vs. Force (1995) sold over a million copies and was translated into 25 languages.

200 · The threshold

Courage at 200 is the baseline: the eight levels above it are called "Power"; the eight below it are called "Force".

The scale

The Map of Consciousness · 17 levels

Each level is a calibrated band of consciousness rather than a fixed personal score — most people move across several of them in a single day.

Leverage

The power of high levels

In human society, the energy of a small number of people at high levels equals the combined energy of a great many people at low levels.

Level	Counterbalances (people below 200)
300 · Above Willingness	90,000
400 · Reason	400,000
500 · Love	750,000
600 · Peace	10,000,000
700 · Enlightenment (e.g. Mother Teresa)	70,000,000

One person at level 700 counterbalances 70 million people below 200. Twelve people at 700 equal one Avatar — Buddha, Jesus, Krishna — at 1000.

The shift in collective consciousness

Collective human consciousness stayed at 190 for centuries, then jumped to 207 within the last decade or so (204 in 2006, 205 in 2007). Doomsday prophecies quietly expired along the way — they were made while humanity still calibrated below 200.

Mother Teresa (700)

The highest and fastest frequency Dr. Hawkins ever recorded appeared while studying Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The moment she walked into a room, everyone present felt their heart fill with happiness, and distracting or resentful thoughts became hard to recall.

Observation

The energy of all things

Pop culture

The vast majority of popular songs calibrate below 200, and most films pull their audience below 200 as well. Popular culture is largely low-consciousness and low-energy.

Kinesiology

Over 25 years of practice: muscles go weak for false statements and strong for true ones, with accuracy approaching 100%. Strong patterns correlate with health; weak patterns correlate with illness.

Emoto's water crystals

The human body is 70% water. In Dr. Masaru Emoto's The Hidden Messages in Water, water exposed to "love and gratitude" formed beautiful, complete crystals, while water exposed to abuse could not crystallize at all.

Kirlian photography

The human aura — the body's energy field — can be photographed. People of different temperaments show halos of different colours: consciousness determines the state of one's own energy field.

Practice

How to raise your energy level

01

Let go of what is low

Move away from low-level books, music, films, relationships and environments.

02

Stay close to what is high

Higher-level people, books, music, films, paintings and craftsmanship — even gentle cats and lovely dogs.

03

Dwell in peace, joy and love

Fluctuations in level are directly tied to state of mind; holding a high-frequency state over time naturally raises your average energy level.

04

Work to stay above 200

Positive energy transmits and influences. Keeping your intention pointed in a positive direction helps you, and it helps the people around you.

Analogy

The three states of life

Water has three states, and so does life. Water's state is set by temperature; your life's state is set by the temperature of your heart.

Below 0°C

Ice

When your temperature towards life stays below 0°C, your state is ice — your entire world is no bigger than the ground your two feet stand on.

0–100°C

Water

Liquid water flows downward and nourishes all things, yet it never escapes the pull of the earth. This is the state most people live in.

100°C

Steam

At 100°C of passion for life you become vapour, become clouds, and rise — owning not only the earth but the sky. Your world becomes as vast as the universe.

Reflections

A few personal takeaways

Know yourself · pace yourself

Measure yourself honestly, know where you stand, clarify the direction of your practice and pace yourself. The road ahead is long.

Examine yourself daily

Ask of every action: does this align with the laws of the universe? Aligning with the way of things is the greatest positive energy. Prune the stray branches, but never pull at the seedlings to make them grow.

Giving wealth and giving wisdom

A peck of rice breeds gratitude; a bushel breeds resentment. The manner and measure of giving decide what good it actually produces.

The beggar and the nine buns

Do you give the beggar nine buns, or one? A lesson worth sitting with.

Fill the role you hold

The constructive reading is this: in the position you hold, do the work of that position and be accountable for it. In business, be a good businessman.

Pick it up before you put it down

If you never picked anything up, what is there to put down? Natural selection favours those who adapt — like the salmon's long journey home.

A manual for the mind

The conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg. Shedding habit and temperament works on deeper consciousness, and opens up the right brain's imagery and creativity.
