Power vs. Truth: Peering Behind the Teachings of David R. Hawkins

In their quest for meaning and higher truth, many people seek out a teacher or a path. The longing for higher consciousness, spiritual growth, and a connection to God directs us to someone or something we believe can provide answers and point the way.

Power vs. Truth examines the teachings of David R. Hawkins, a psychiatrist-turned-guru who claims to have discovered a bulletproof method for discerning the €œabsolute truth€ about anything. He heralds his muscle test for truth as €œthe most important discovery in mankind€s history.€

A few of today€s spiritual luminaries agree, singing the praises of Hawkins€ best seller, Power vs. Force. Wayne Dyer, an outspoken promoter of Hawkins€ work, called it €œthe most important and significant book I€ve read in the past ten years.€

Power vs. Truth examines Hawkins€ claims, his teachings, and his muscle test for truth, deconstructing them for serious students dedicated to discovering higher consciousness.

This work invites readers into an honest conversation that contemplates challenging questions: Is it fair to question the validity of Hawkins€ claims? Are there characteristics inherent in the Hawkins community that place it in danger of becoming a cult? Is it possible that some students following Hawkins€ €œpath€ are experiencing dissociation, life repression, and other mental disorders?

Written by Hawkins€ authorized biographer€"formerly one of his most devoted and outspoken students€"Power vs. Truth is a brave examination of Hawkins€ life and works. Including revelations uncovered during the research for Hawkins€ biography, this book offers an intimate and sobering look at the teachings that have captivated tens of thousands of students worldwide.
