Free Truth vs Falsehood by David Hawkins Page B

“Allah,” for the “good of the faith,” “for Christ,” for the Sun God Quetzalcoatl (cal. level 85), or the God of Attila the Hun. (Even Hitler claimed God’s approval.) To the animal nature of the ego, religion is merely another tool in its arsenal by which to control others, thereby revealing the paradoxical truth that its inherent weakness is its dependence on others for survival, whereas true power is independent, self-sufficient, and devoid of neediness.
    The power of love is demonstrated by the act of giving, and the weakness of the ego is shown by its neediness and insufficiency. Because the continuance of the ego is dependent on fulfilling its basic needs, it lives in fear (all megalomaniacs are paranoid), whereas, love is fearless.
    A unique incident that demonstrates the transformational quality of love was reported in the Toronto newspapers (Dube, 2004).
    A disturbed man, and potential mass murderer, had six thousand rounds of ammunition and multiple weapons. He intended to kill as many people as possible and then commit suicide. He could not be dissuaded; however, he was interrupted by a dog with a Frisbee who begged him to play. The would-be killer suddenly had a ‘change of heart’, dropped the weapons, surrendered, and then sought help for his state of mind. The lovingness of the dog (named Elvis), which calibrates at 500, effortlessly accomplished the miraculous, which neither reason nor entreaty could do.
    From the viewpoint of evolutionary development, Homo sapiens is unique in that it shows such a wide spectrum of calibrated levels of consciousness within the same species. It is only very recently, in the late 1980s, that the overall consciousness level rose from 190, where it had been for centuries, to 205, and now to 207 (i.e., it moved collectively from self-saving predation to concern for others).
    Despite progression of the statistical average, 78 percent of the world’s population is still below consciousness level 200, which denotes truth, integrity, and concern for others. It is from this vast reservoir of negativity that the world’s problems arise. World conflict would seem to be inevitable because of the great disparity between highly evolved segments and the vast proportion that lags behind and is thereby limited.

CHAPTER 5
    The Essential Structure of Truth
    The human mind has been unable to resolve the enigma of truth for several crucial reasons:
1. The lack of knowledge of the evolution of consciousness and its levels.
2. The lack of understanding the nature and structure of the ego and its origin.
3. The inherent defects and limitations of the ego.
4. The failure to realize the importance of the relationship between context and content.
5. The significance of a paradigm shift as a consequence of contextualization.
    In the perceived, supposedly discreet, domain of the Newtonian linear paradigm, statements (‘facts’) are assumed to exist independently of the field or the context. The presumption, therefore, is that ‘things’, including ideas, exist in some purportedly ‘objective’, independent, self-sufficient, identifiable ‘reality’. As such, it is inferred that objective data exist independently of any knower of the alleged facts. Because these isolated facts meet the requirements of their own definition, they are therefore considered provable, and the hypothesis of a requirement for proof appears to be rational and capable of fulfillment. Upon examination, however, it will be discovered that proofs are primarily circuitous reifications of definition by which intention already determines the result by the process of selection of acceptable data, i.e., category blindness.
    With sophistication and maturity, however, it becomes progressively clear that the criteria for truth change or are even completely offset by a change in the overall field. A statement is only true within a specific context, and the same exact statement can become blatantly false in a different
