The Last Presidential Election...

And so many events since, have made me deeply question how I can step up to be part of the solution. If you have been thinking similar thoughts I would like to share a perspective of how we can be that through our consciousness.

In 1995 David Hawkins, M.D. published a very popular book called Power Vs. Force. When I read that over 15 years ago I was struck by his analysis of the levels of consciousness of the human race. Hawkins’ scale of consciousness ran from a low of 20 up to a high of 1000. Numbers on the scale below 100 correlated to experiences of guilt, shame, apathy, grief and fear. People primarily vibrating at this level are usually controlled by others who are vibrating at higher levels.

At the consciousness level of 200 courage and personal power first appear, and levels up to 500 correlate to increasing levels of awareness and positive qualities. People vibrating at 500 or above are highly motivated by unconditional love. Levels from 500 up to 1000 indicate increasing levels of enlightenment. Hawkins referred to the positive spheres of influence radiated by people at high states of consciousness as “attractor patterns”.

That is the amount of people and other living things we have an impact on. According to Hawkin’s research, one human being vibrating at level 500 counterbalances 750,000 people vibrating at levels 200 or below. That means that one person largely living in the consciousness of real love helps to pull up the consciousness of 750,000 other people having a more negative experience. Someone living at level 700 counterbalances 70 million people at levels 200 or below. That is real power!

Regardless of the accuracy of Hawkin’s methodology, I do believe that there is significant truth in this principle. I do see how the level of consciousness we tend to vibrate at determines our sphere of influence as well as the amount of positive impact our life has on others.

So how can we raise our level of consciousness? Doing that is the path of Ascension. Rather than keeping that as a vaguely understood term I would like to offer more clarity about it.

Ascension is literally the process of raising the level at which you and your energy fields tend to vibrate. It can be understood as part of the higher physics, or meta-physics of life. Everything in the Universe has a characteristic vibration rate and signature. That is what differentiates things and makes them what they are.

When a person’s primary experience is of frequent fear, shame, self-doubt, sickness, fatigue and more this is a low vibratory level. When we spend more of our time with our hearts open to loving, serving and acknowledging Spirit we are vibrating at a higher level. Sounds simple, right? But there is more to the picture. If you are reading this article I believe that you are probably experiencing some of both high and low vibrations! Why?

And all life upon it (that includes us) has been steadily raising in recent years. The Earth is now largely in the 4th and 5th dimensions. The reason we still experience so much angst and see so many difficult things happening around us is twofold:

Here are a few important ones for raising your vibration:

There is no higher fulfillment of self and no higher service you can do than to get about the work of raising your own vibration. The ripple effects, as explained above, are endless.
