Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Hawkins compares psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious, a pool of shared experiences that can be tapped by all people, to a database. The great premise of such a database is its capacity to answer any question. He claims it is the same “inventory” drawn upon by kinesiologic testing.

Hawkins believes that the database is subject to certain rules. A question can’t be asked unless there is the potential for an answer. The question and answer are created from the same paradigm; there is no sequence involved except that created by the act of perception. They exist within an underlying attractor field that is big enough to include both events.

“Normal” humans are consumed with their role as transformers of concepts from the level of the “ABC” pattern to that of the sequence in which A causes B and B causes C. Only extraordinary individuals live at the ABC level.

Existence without form is the “ultimate reality.” When one steps outside of time, there are no causes. Time is subjective, reflective of a point of view. The Maker of all things visible and invisible stands beyond the idea of duality. Ultimate awareness of the Absolute is beyond consciousness; those enlightened beings who have attained this awareness cannot even describe it.
