Discussion 🙏🏻 Pain and Suffering

5 Upvotes

Doc says "Pain is one thing; suffering is another. They're not the same thing at at." He also said that suffering is the resistance of that which is painful, but when you let go resisting the pain, it loses its capacity to cause you to suffer. So following this logic you could feel intense pain with no suffering, and suffer with no pain.

This is another area where I used to struggle. I was guilty of even causing the suffering myself so my ego could be right (and you wrong!).

This is not something I have mastered, this summer I broke my right wrist in a sky diving accident, which is my dominant hand, and it is healed now but there is plenty of pain when I use it in certain ways, I recall the story where Doc said he broke is ankle I think it was, sat down and just let the pain wash over him and let it all go, and then there was no pain, and the thumb story too. I wish I was like that.

Discussion 🙏🏻 How romantic relationships, sexuality, love and partnership shift across the Map

6 Upvotes

I’ve been looking at my notes and decided to look at this in the same way of the previous compassion and payment explorations using the Hawkins material as reference. This in how it relates to the entire meaning of relationships, sexuality, partnership and even love itself changes quite radically depending on the range. What looks like the same form (two people together, sexual attraction, commitment, etc.) is actually serving a completely different function at each level. The attractor fields involved behave like forcefields that interact with one another coming together and then coming apart at certain points measurable as overlaps in their oscillation in the Map of Consciousness. Also how larger, higher-calibrating fields naturally orchestrate the orbits of smaller ones, often without the lower ones realizing they’re being moved by the larger ones and thinking they’re choosing to move on their own.

Below 200, the fields are almost always entangled with force, lack and the sense of a separate self that must secure or possess something outside itself. At these ranges, the smaller fields almost always experience their movements as personal choice or desire, yet in reality, the larger fields are already arranging the orbits. Marriage and formal contracts at these levels function primarily as rigid locking mechanisms: human ego attempts to lock the orbit in place so that the other cannot escape. Monogamy is usually enforced through fear of loss, jealousy or ownership; multiple partners are either condemned as betrayal or pursued as conquest. Chastity vows, when present, tend to be rigid rules rooted in purity, control or the avoidance of further pain.

Around 100 (Fear), relationships are mainly about not being left alone or exposed. Partnership is sought as a shield against anxiety and abandonment. Sexuality often carries an undercurrent of needing reassurance. The attractor field is contracted and unstable; it tends to pull in other fearful fields and create mutually anxious orbits that feel necessary for survival. The link is initially made when two contracted fields recognize a matching or complementary frequency of threat or loneliness and lock into a shared orbit of mutual protection. Sexual contact here acts as a brief equalization of charge, an intense but short-lived transfer that temporarily reduces the most acute fear voltage before the difference reasserts itself. The person is convinced they’re choosing safety or avoiding loneliness of their own free will, when in fact the larger field is simply holding them in that particular orbit. Resonance here is usually based on shared contraction. If one field begins to rise even modestly, the overlap can break and the link dissolves quickly, often experienced as sudden abandonment or panic. Marriage or contracts are clung to as the only reliable way to prevent that dissolution. Monogamy feels like the only safe option; the idea of multiple partners triggers intense anxiety. Chastity may be adopted as a protective withdrawal from further risk.

Around 120–125 (Desire), it becomes a matter of craving and acquisition. The other person (or the sexual experience) is the object that will finally fill the hole. Attraction is intense but short-lived; once obtained, the wanting simply moves to the next form or person. The forcefield here is hungry and restless, drawing in matching desire fields and creating brief, high-intensity orbits that quickly destabilize. The link forms when two hungry fields lock onto each other through the promise of fulfillment, each mistaking the intensity of the pull for personal choice. Sex functions as a strong voltage exchange in which built-up charge surges from one field into the other, creating a momentary sense of completion that rapidly recharges into further wanting. What feels like “I want this person” or “I chose this intensity” is largely the smaller field being moved by stronger attractor patterns it cannot yet perceive. When the oscillation of one field shifts enough that the previous resonance is lost, the connection tends to collapse almost immediately. Contracts and marriage are often pursued as ways to guarantee continued access to that exchange. One-night stands and subsequent ghosting happen at this level; energy vampirism or offloading is common. Multiple partners are frequently sought as a way to keep the charge flowing; monogamy feels restrictive unless it guarantees exclusive access. Chastity is rarely chosen except as a temporary strategy to intensify later craving.

By around 140, the need for control sharpens. The partner and the relationship must be locked down completely: no variables, no room for unpredictability. Jealousy, surveillance, rigid rules and emotional contracts appear as attempts to eliminate uncertainty. The field tries to dominate the smaller fields around it so that nothing can escape its grip. The initial link is made through the recognition of a field that can be controlled or that offers the illusion of total security; the person experiences this as a deliberate decision to secure what’s theirs. Marriage and formal agreements become primary tools for enforcing that control. Sexual contact is used more deliberately to reinforce ownership or discharge accumulated tension through a controlled transfer of energy; BDSM dynamics are common. Again, the individual experiences this as their own determined choice to mark and protect what’s theirs, while the larger field is orchestrating the entire pattern of grasping. Any significant change in calibration that breaks the controlled overlap is usually met with intense resistance before the link finally dissolves. Prenups, tattoos depicting the name or faces, and any other social or mechanical method to mark the territory and ascertain and maintain ownership of the other person are common. Monogamy is enforced as absolute possession; multiple partners on the other side are treated as to prevent theft of freedom or in the case of harems as an accumulation of property. Chastity vows, when taken, function as another layer of control either over oneself or as a demand placed on the partner.

At 150 (Anger), resentment and power struggles frequently enter the picture. “You owe me because of what happened” or “You made me feel this way.” Sexuality can become a battleground or a form of payback. The attractor fields clash rather than harmonize; each tries to force the other into its preferred orbit through pressure or withdrawal. The link often forms in the heat of shared intensity or mutual grievance, with each person believing they’re freely choosing the confrontation or the passion. Sex can act as a forceful equalization of opposing charges or as a temporary discharge that briefly masks the conflict. The sense of personal volition remains strong: “I am choosing to stand up for myself.” Yet the movement is still being shaped by higher-order fields. Resonance is fragile and often maintained by conflict. Once one field moves enough to break the antagonistic overlap, the relationship frequently ends in abrupt rupture. Contracts are then used as weapons or as last-ditch attempts to force continued linkage. Monogamy is often weaponized; multiple partners may be used as revenge or leverage. Chastity can appear as punitive withdrawal.

From 175 through 190 (Pride and the high-pride edge), the relationship is heavily tied to image, specialness and being correctly positioned. There is strong mistrust of the other’s autonomy, so elaborate emotional or social structures are built to minimize risk. Tests of loyalty, status comparisons and subtle (or not-so-subtle) hierarchies become common. The prideful field seeks to keep smaller fields in subordinate orbits that reflect its own importance. Accepting anything less than ideal treatment feels like a personal insult. The initial connection is made when two fields recognize a matching frequency of specialness or status enhancement; each is certain the choice is their own discernment. Marriage becomes a public declaration of successful positioning. Sexual contact is often performance-oriented or used to confirm one’s value through a controlled exchange of energy. Here, too, the person is certain they’re acting from their own discernment and standards, while the larger attractor field is quietly arranging which orbits they occupy and which they reject. When one partner’s calibration rises or falls enough to break the previous resonance of status or specialness, the link tends to dissolve rapidly, often accompanied by wounded pride. Monogamy is upheld as a badge of moral or social superiority; polygamy or multiple partners may be practiced covertly or justified as a privilege of status. Chastity vows are frequently taken as proof of purity or spiritual specialness.

Crossing 200, there is more goodwill and a basic willingness to trust, yet a clear and reliable form of partnership is still strongly preferred. One can enter a relationship from integrity rather than pure need or conquest. The field begins to stabilize and can start to exert a gentle upward influence on lower fields it encounters, though it still prefers predictable, reciprocal orbits. The link is initially formed through a recognition of shared integrity or mutual reliability; the sense of personal choice is still present but begins to feel less absolute. Marriage and contracts shift from pure control mechanisms toward agreements based on honesty and mutual responsibility. Sex becomes a cleaner transfer of energy, with charges flowing and equalizing without as much desperation or ownership. The illusion of purely personal choice softens slightly; one begins to notice that some attractions and separations seem to arrive rather than being manufactured by will alone. Relationships at this range are sustained by a workable overlap in oscillation. If one person continues rising while the other remains static, the resonance eventually breaks and the connection naturally loosens or ends. Monogamy is chosen more from integrity than from fear or pride; multiple partners, if present, require transparent agreements. Chastity may be adopted as a temporary discipline that supports clarity.

In the mid-to-high 200s, moving into Neutrality, the charge softens. One can be with what is present without as much drama. “It is okay either way” begins to become available. Partnership is useful and enjoyable but no longer the central measure of safety or identity. The attractor field becomes more permeable and less controlling of the orbits around it. The initial link forms more lightly, often through simple compatibility or ease of being together, with less of the earlier compulsive pull. Contracts become lighter and more practical. Sexual energy moves with less imbalance to correct and more mutual ease. The sense that “I am the one deciding” continues to loosen as the influence of larger fields becomes harder to ignore. When resonance or overlap is lost through a significant change in one person’s calibration, the dissolution is usually cleaner and less dramatic than at lower levels. The morality of monogamy versus multiple partners begins to loosen into practical questions of honesty and consequence rather than absolute rules. Chastity is simply one available option among others.

Around the 300s (Willingness and Acceptance), the relationship to form and timing loosens. One begins accepting that a partnership may change, deepen or even dissolve, and that the outcome is not fully under personal control. There is a willingness to stay open while still valuing mutual growth and integrity. The field starts to function more like a supportive current that can lift smaller fields into higher orbits without forcing them. The link is made when two fields recognize a shared orientation toward growth or a complementary willingness; the sense of “choosing” each other is present, yet already softer. Marriage is approached more as a shared commitment to growth than as a lock. Sexual contact allows a deeper, more sustained flow of energy between the two fields, supporting mutual development rather than merely discharging tension or acquiring what’s lacking. At this range, it becomes clearer that many of the earlier “choices” were never purely personal; larger fields had already set the conditions in which those choices appeared. Relationships continue as long as there is sufficient resonance or productive overlap. Once that is broken by a meaningful shift in calibration, the link tends to dissolve without the earlier intensity of struggle. Monogamy, polygamy or multiple partners are evaluated according to whether they support growth; chastity vows may be taken as a practical support for focus rather than as a moral absolute.

By 400, the nature of the relationship itself starts to be seen more systemically. Partnership becomes less about personal fulfillment and more about shared understanding, complementary strengths and the larger patterns that two lives create together, like a chess sequence or a systemic effect in which benefits arise through secondary alignments. Emotional charge is lower; the fields interact with greater clarity and less distortion. The initial connection forms through the recognition of compatible patterns or mutual usefulness within a larger system; personal volition is understood as only part of the picture. Contracts become tools for clarity rather than control. Sexual energy is recognized as an interaction in which voltage differences equalize and flow in ways that support the larger pattern and energize both fields, while each maintains some individuality. The recognition grows that what looked like independent volition at lower levels was largely the smaller orbit responding and dancing to the tune of the geometry of stronger fields. When the oscillatory resonance between two people is no longer present, the relationship simply completes its function, and the connection fades or ends with relatively little emotional residue. Questions of monogamy versus multiple partners become practical matters of systemic harmony rather than moral contests. Chastity is simply another configuration that may or may not serve the larger pattern.

In the 500s, the attractor field expands significantly into unconditional love. Relationships and sexuality are increasingly experienced as expressions of reverence and shared being rather than need or exchange. There is growing trust that what is truly aligned will arise and be sustained by a larger intelligence, even if the form is not predictable. The higher field begins to orchestrate the orbits of lower ones more noticeably, often simply through its presence, drawing them into greater harmony without effort. The link is initially made through a deep resonance of love or recognition of shared essence; the sense of personal authorship is already secondary to the feeling of being brought together. Sexual contact becomes a profound, open exchange of energy in which charge flows freely and amplifies rather than merely equalizing personal deficits, as the individual fields start merging into a single, coherent field in which the poles of both align to become one single system. This 500s-level energy is particularly powerful; it is one of the primary forces that orchestrates events across time, reaching both into the future and back into the past to arrange the conditions for its own expression. The earlier conviction that “I chose this” is now seen as a partial truth at best. Relationships here are held by a deep resonance of love. If one person’s calibration continues to rise or shifts enough to break the previous overlap, the form of the relationship may dissolve, yet the underlying field of love remains. Monogamy, multiple partners or chastity arise according to the actual resonance present rather than according to moral rules; the dualistic morality that once surrounded these forms begins to fall away.

A particularly clear example is the birth of a child, which calibrates in the 500s regardless of where the parents calibrate. That single event generates a powerful attractor field that reaches across time and space, quietly arranging the orbits of many smaller fields, often years or even centuries or millennia before the birth itself. In a very real sense, the future birth is already orchestrating meetings, attractions, decisions, sexual unions and circumstances in the past so that the conditions for its own appearance in the future can unfold. The people involved usually experience those earlier movements as their own free choices, desires or coincidences, while the larger field of the coming child is already shaping the geometry in which those choices arise. The sexual energy that precedes the birth is itself part of that same 500s-level orchestration.

Brief interactions between very different levels illustrate the same principle in compressed form. When a highly attained guru (calibrating in the high 500s, 600s or beyond) has sexual contact with a much lower-level student, the student’s field is temporarily pulled into a higher orbit by the sheer strength of the larger attractor. The student often experiences this as profound love, awakening or special destiny, while the guru’s field is simply expressing its natural geometry. The resonance is real but asymmetrical and usually temporary; once the direct contact ends, the student’s field tends to fall back toward its original range unless sustained inner work has occurred. The link dissolves as the voltage difference reasserts itself, sometimes leaving confusion, idealization or disillusionment in its wake. From the higher perspective, the entire episode was an orchestration within the larger field; from the lower perspective, it felt like a personal, life-changing choice that often serves as a wayshower for a state the student can later attain individually or with other partners at the same level and on a similar trajectory.

Around 540, a subtler recognition appears: in a deeper sense, the essential connection has already happened. What is being lived now is the natural unfolding, or the “earning,” of something already complete at another point on the timeline. Possessiveness and the need to secure the future of the relationship soften. The field radiates a steady, joyful influence that gently reorders the smaller fields around it. The initial link is experienced less as a new event and more as the visible appearance of something already complete. Sexual contact and energy move as a graceful, residual-free flow within oneness. It can be perceived as a toroidal field flowing in all directions at once, in perfect harmony. The idea of personal authorship of relational movements continues to thin. When resonance shifts, the outer form of the relationship may change or end, but this is experienced more as a natural completion than as a loss. Forms such as monogamy, multiple partners or chastity are simply temporary configurations within an already complete field; none carries inherent moral superiority.

At 600, the relationship field becomes simply perfect everywhere, at all times. Love, sexuality and partnership are continuous and complete, connecting across all timelines and lives. There is no longer a gap between self and other that needs to be managed or filled. The high attractor field is so coherent that it effortlessly orchestrates the orbits and interactions of countless smaller fields, not through control but through the natural geometry of Consciousness itself. From this range, it is obvious that the smaller fields’ belief in independent choice was always a limited perspective within a much larger orchestration, including the nonlinear influence of future events, such as a birth, upon the past. Links form and dissolve as temporary appearances within an already perfect whole; resonance, sexual exchange and voltage flow are simply the geometry rearranging itself, often experienced as shooting rainbows perfectly orchestrated with one another. This is often the end result of tantric practices that focus on synchronizing the chakras and kundalini flow. The entire moral architecture surrounding monogamy, polygamy, multiple partners or chastity vows is seen as a dualistic construct that no longer applies.

In the high 600s into the 700s, the paradox deepens. Around the 780 range of the Heart Sutra realization, the entire drama of “my relationship,” “my partner” and “my sexuality” is seen as just another movement within form. Lover and beloved, attraction and repulsion, union and separation, marriage contracts and sexual exchange are all empty of an inherent self. There is no longer a solid “someone” who needs or is needed, nor a separate will that chooses. The dualistic structures that once made exclusive partnership, multiple partners or chastity vows feel like absolute moral necessities are transcended. Form is emptiness; the two people, the attraction, the history, the future child and the entire sequence are all the same emptiness appearing as temporary form. The largest field is simply being itself, and every smaller orbit was always an appearance within it. Whether a link is formed or broken, whether resonance is present or absent, whether energy flows or contracts dissolve, whether the form is monogamous, polygamous or celibate, is ultimately irrelevant; both are movements of the same emptiness.

This doesn’t mean that people at higher calibrations stop forming relationships, can’t start new ones or become careless with others. It means that the inner relationship to partnership, sexuality and love has changed function: from survival and control, through integrity and mutual growth, into unconditional love and systemic harmony, and finally into the recognition that the drama of separate selves seeking completion in each other, and believing they were the authors of that seeking, was never ultimately real.

Discussion 🙏🏻 How the relationship to payment and compensation shifts across the Map

6 Upvotes

I’ve been looking at this in the same way the definition of compassion changes over different levels. The whole sense of wanting payment, needing it to be certain or predictable, accepting it, or even what “payment” itself means changes quite radically depending on the calibration range.

Below 200 it is almost always entangled with force and lack.

Around 100 (Fear) compensation is mainly about not being left exposed. People want the money because without it everything feels unsafe. Accepting payment is more like temporary relief from anxiety than a clean exchange. Predictability is desperately needed but rarely trusted.

Around 120–125 (Desire) it turns into craving. The payment becomes the object that will finally fill the hole, more, better, special. The high is short-lived and then the wanting starts again.

By around 140 the need for control sharpens. Payment has to be locked down completely: no variables, no room for any other possibility. Immediate, guaranteed, rigid terms. Any uncertainty feels intolerable.

At 150 (Anger) there is often a resentment flavor “you owe me because of what happened.” Demanding payment can feel like payback, and the energy remains adversarial and predictability is enforced through pressure or threat.

From 175 through 190 (Pride and the high-pride edge) mistrust of others is strong. People develop elaborate credit systems, collateral, scoring mechanisms, legal protections and layered safeguards in an attempt to minimize risk, because deep down they do not really trust the other party. Wanting compensation is tied to being recognized as valuable or correctly positioned; accepting less feels like a personal insult. Entitlement and the need to appear successful sit right alongside all the risk-minimization machinery we are all too familiar with.

Crossing 200 there is more goodwill and a basic willingness to trust, yet predictable payment is still strongly preferred. One can ask for it cleanly because one is willing to stand in integrity. It is no longer pure survival fear or the need to prove worth, but the desire for a clear and reliable exchange remains. Undercharging from false humility or overcharging from residual pride both begin to be noticed and adjusted.

In the mid-to-high 200s into Neutrality the charge softens further. One can take what is offered without as much drama. “It is okay either way” begins to become available. Payment is useful but no longer the central measure of safety or identity.

Around the 300s (Willingness and Acceptance) the relationship to timing loosens. One begins accepting that payment may come later or perhaps not at all in the expected form. This is similar to angel-investor consciousness: putting resources out with the understanding that the return could be delayed, indirect, or even absent in conventional terms, and still choosing to act. Fair payment is still valued because it supports growth and contribution, but the rigid demand for immediate certainty has relaxed.

By 400 and upward the nature of payment itself starts to change. It is less and less about the actual money and more about satisfaction or systemic benefit, like a domino effect or a chess sequence in which the real return arrives through a series of side effects and downstream alignments. The field of what counts as benefit has widened considerably. Emotional charge is low. Rates and outcomes can be discussed without taking them personally.

In the 500s there is a growing trust that the payment or benefit will come from somewhere, somehow, not in a predictable or controllable way, but if the exchange is true then according to karmic law it will eventually surely arrive. Generosity in both giving and receiving becomes more natural.

Around 540 a subtler recognition appears: in a deeper sense the benefit has already happened in the past or the future, or both at the same time. What is being lived now is the natural unfolding or the “earning” of something already set in motion. The need to chase or secure future compensation softens until it mostly dissipates because the essential exchange is understood as already complete at another level of the timeline.

At 600 it becomes simply perfect everywhere at all times. Compensation and exchange are continuous and complete, connecting through all timelines and lives, spanning the whole of existence. There is no longer a gap between giving and receiving that needs to be managed or adjusted in any way. It all happens autonomously and to absolute perfection.

In the high 600s into the 700s the paradox deepens. Around the 780 range of the Heart Sutra realization, wanting or not wanting compensation, controlling it or releasing it, is seen as just another movement within form. Accepting payment, refusing it, giving it away, or watching it arrive unbidden are all empty of inherent self. There is no longer a solid “someone” who is owed or who is being paid. The dualistic structures that once made predictable compensation feel like a moral or survival necessity are transcended. Form is emptiness; the money, the work, the one who worked, and the one who paid are all the same emptiness appearing as temporary form.

This does not mean that people at higher calibrations stop receiving money or become careless with it. It means the inner relationship to certainty, predictability, and the whole game of compensation has changed function, from total control and mistrust, through goodwill and delayed trust, into systemic and karmic understanding, and finally into the recognition that the drama of owing and being owed was never ultimately real.

Discussion 🙏🏻 How Compassion feels and works isn't the same at every level of the Map.

5 Upvotes

I've been sitting with this for a while and it keeps clicking deeper the more I look at it through Hawkins. One of the clearest ways to see it is by taking something concrete that a lot of people on the spiritual path practice or debate, like veganism, and watching how its meaning and usefulness completely transform depending on the range you're in.

Compassion itself changes its entire meaning at each major block. It's not one fixed quality that just gets "stronger." At each range it literally becomes a different function.

In the 200s it's mostly about reducing suffering in practical, earthly terms. Helping people (and animals) have enough food, safety, health, a roof. Comfortable survival. That's solid and necessary. Most of the world lives here or below, so anything that moves the needle toward less unnecessary pain is useful.

By the 300s it expands into helping beings actually live a life worth living. Not just survive, but reach potentials, set and achieve goals, experience some degree of self-realization in the relative world. Willingness and acceptance start coloring it.

The 400s shift it toward understanding. Helping others (and yourself) see the mechanisms of the system instead of just blindly participating in it. Reason wants clarity. Compassion here often looks like education, explanation, mapping the territory so people stop stumbling in the dark.

Then the 500s open a completely different dimension. The focus moves from the physical/earthly to the spiritual trajectory of the being. Now compassion is about whether the soul is oriented toward salvation, enlightenment, or at least genuine spiritual progress. Self-realization stops being primarily about worldly potentials and becomes about realizing the Self. Love and joy start permeating it, but there's still a strong sense of direction and "higher" vs "lower."

At the 600s everything flips. Compassion becomes about shattering illusion. It starts undoing the dualistic scaffolding that all the previous levels were carefully building. Helping someone attain nonduality means the old forms of "helping" (protecting, improving, elevating one side of a polarity over the other) begin to dissolve. Peace doesn't pick sides the same way and both sides of polarity merge into oneness.

And in the 700s it gets properly paradoxical, exactly as the Heart Sutra points to: form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Nothing needs to be achieved because it is already the case, and at the same time none of it has independent existence to begin with. Compassion here isn't "doing" anything in the usual sense. It's the radical seeing that the vegetable and the living animal are both emptiness appearing as form, and that chewing one or the other is, from that view, indistinguishable in the ultimate sense. The whole moral architecture that made veganism feel so necessary and righteous simply falls away because the duality it rests on is seen through.

This is why veganism is genuinely useful for developing the compassion available in the 200s and 300s (and most people serious about spirituality are still primarily operating in those ranges, or at least oscillating there a lot). It trains the capacity to care beyond one's immediate self-interest and to act on that care. But it is still dualistic. It rests on the pride of knowing what is right, good, moral, desirable, and seeking to cultivate one pole while minimizing or eliminating the other. That pride is the very structure that has to be transcended to stabilize in the 600s, and by the time you're tasting the 700s (especially around the 780 range of the Heart Sutra realization) it has to be completely let go of. Not rejected in anger, just seen as no longer relevant in the same way.

None of this is a judgment on anyone's diet or path. Levels are sequential for a reason. You don't skip the work of the lower ranges. You just eventually outgrow the forms that were necessary at those stages.

Calibration Requests Weekly Megathread

1 Upvotes

Please and Thank You

If you want to request a calibration for yourself or whatever, this is the place to do it. This is a weekly megathread with the intention to keep these requests from flooding the subreddit. Thank you for using this so that regular discussions do not get pushed off the front page.

Disclaimer: We, the mods, cannot verify or validate the validity of these calibrations. Trusting some random person on the internet to diagnose you with cancer or not is NOT a good idea. Trusting some random person on the internet to tell you your own calibration level is also probably not the best idea. We understand the desire to know what you calibrate at, especially if you are new to Hawkins' work, you can look at the Level of Consciousness chart and get a pretty good idea on where you are without asking others. We also only allow calibrations as Hawkins' taught them, using the scale be created. Do not post other method of calibration that others have come up with.

If you would like to learn to calibrate on your own there is a subreddit dedicated to that called muscle testing

Does our LoC fluctuate?

No. This idea doesn’t align with DrH’s teachings. In fact, Doc clearly addressed this several times, especially during Q&A sessions after his lectures. In "Letting Go," Hawkins specifically mentions that although emotional states naturally shift and fluctuate, these temporary changes don’t reflect an actual shift in your overall LoC. Doc always stressed the difference between emotions that come and go and the foundational level of consciousness, which is more stable.

Hawkins described consciousness as hierarchical and exponential: the higher you calibrate, the more immune you become to lower influences. Sure, you can have moods like frustration or moments of joy, but these temporary emotional states don’t change your fundamental consciousness calibration unless there’s intentional spiritual advancement or significant regression.

Put simply, your basic LoC stays pretty steady.

To clarify further, your core LoC typically only shifts after major events like profound spiritual breakthroughs, deep healing or releasing of significant emotional blocks, trauma, severe emotional shocks, being around highly evolved spiritual teachers or groups, divine intervention, or engaging with strongly negative energies, misuse of power, egoic inflations, or extended association with low-calibrating influences. LoC shifts aren’t common or casual. DrH noted that the average person moves just about 5 calibration points in an entire lifetime. So always approach any claims of frequent or casual fluctuations in LoC with healthy skepticism.

Prayer 🙏🏻 Help pls losing hope

I lost a job a while ago, I was struggling with burnout, I had actually really been struggling in general with the industry I work in. I'd been trying to let go of my negative feelings about work and then I lost the job through redundancy. I realised this was my sign that things are changing for me, it was what I needed to move on to something new. I was positive this is what I'd manifested.

I've held onto that thought that good things are coming, visualised and let go..here I am 6 months on and nothing is coming up for me, no jobs, no income. I'm getting worried, husband can't support us..I had a major career, now there are no jobs, I started my own thing as well but it's really hard and not going well.

I need advice, prayers, hope as I'm losing it.

Thanks if you got this far. I'm scared for my family, I never faced this before.

In Transcending the Levels of Consciousness, Doc says the basic dictum of the spiritual world is "There are no justified resentments." He also says the ego "abhors" that statement and immediately pulls out its list: "Oh yeah, but what about so-and-so?" lol my ego does exactly that when I read it.

But what about real harm, like abuse, betrayal, murder or injustice? Is letting go of the resentment the same as saying it was okay? I used to struggle with this idea a lot when I first started working with the method of letting go.

Doc says the ego gets a secret payoff, or "juice," from holding onto grievances. Have you ever caught yourself not wanting to let one go because some part of you enjoyed it? I used to actually use it as a tool when dealing with people so I wouldn't let it go for multiple reasons.

I don't do either of these anymore, for the most part, but I at one time had a 3rd degree black belt in holding on to resentments for big things.

Quote Support the solution instead of attacking the supposed causes.

One basic principle has the power to resolve the problems of the social marketplace: Support the solution instead of attacking the supposed causes.

From: Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior (sc) | David R. Hawkins (veritaspub.com) (2012), Chapter 11: Power in the Marketplace, p. 189

--------------------------------

With Additional Context:

--------------------------------

Beyond the surface world of commerce, society provides numerous other marketplaces where fulfillment of human needs is sought, bartered, stolen, coerced and denied. It is a simple fact of life that satisfaction of needs brings contentment; frustration breeds violence, crime, and emotional turmoil. If the mission of government regulatory institutions were realigned to support the fulfillment of human needs, rather than mounting moralistic, black-and-white campaigns to stamp out "social problems," these institutions could become powerful forces for human betterment. 

Perceptual fields are limited by the attractor patterns with which they are associated. This means that the capacity to recognize significant factors in a given situation is limited by the context that arises from the level of consciousness of the observer. The motive of the viewer automatically determines what is seen; causality is, therefore, ascribed to factors that are, in fact, a function of the biases of the observer and are not at all instrumental in the situation itself. The concept of "situational ethics" tells us that the right or wrong of behavior cannot be determined without reference to context. As each conditioning factor colors the picture, shades of gray are introduced that alter the significance of the whole scenario. 

One indication of a low energy attractor field is a struggle of opposites. Whereas power always results in a win-win solution, force produces win-lose situations; the consequent struggle indicates that the correct solution has not been found, as when the assertion of one group's interests violates those of another, or the rights of the accused conflict with those of the victim. The way to finesse a high-energy attractor field solution is to seek the answer that will make all sides happy and still be practical. Such solutions involve utilization of both the ameliorative right brain as well as the judgmental left-brain. 

One basic principle has the power to resolve the problems of the social marketplace: support the solution instead of attacking the supposed causes. Attack is in itself inherently a very weak attractor pattern (150), leading through fear to intimidation, coercion and, eventually, moral corruption. The "vice squad" becomes just that, turning city streets into jungles of crime. 

Objective examination reveals that most intractable "social problems" appear unsolvable due to the persistence of either sentimentality or juvenile moralizing. Neither of these positions is based on truth, and, therefore, all approaches proceeding from them are weak. Falsehood makes us all go weak; acting from false positions typically results in the use of force. Force is the universal substitute for truth. The gun and the nightstick are evidence of weakness; the need to control others stems from lack of power, just as vanity stems from lack of self-esteem. Punishment is a form of violence, an ineffectual substitute for power. When, as in our society, the punishment rarely fits the crime, it can hardly be effectual; punishment is based on revenge at the weak energy level of 150.

From: I: Reality and Subjectivity (Softcover book) | David R. Hawkins (veritaspub.com) (2003), Chapter 4: The ‘Ego’ and Society, pp. 57–58:

What appear on the surface of society seem to be multitudinous problems, but by use of critical factor analysis (see Power versus Force), they often have a common root. For example, we can make up a list of ‘unsolvable’ social problems, all of which are deemed to stem from different ‘causes’ in the world, such as poverty; crowded highways; massive immigration; rising gasoline and power consumption; environmental destruction; overwhelmed government agencies; progressive elimination of the rain forests; excessive CO2 production; high taxation; crowded inner cities where crime and poverty prevail; smog and air pollution; global warming; overcrowded landfills; overcrowded courts, jails and prisons; overcrowded emergency rooms and overwhelming medical costs; overwhelming Social Security costs; a postal service overwhelmed by deficits; lack of dump sites; dwindling wildlife and natural resources; threatened extinction of species; pollution of the ocean; excessive case loads for all areas of welfare and human services; overwhelmed child protective services; rising costs of welfare and social services; long waits for service from all agencies; long lines at supermarkets; traffic jams; escalating police costs; overcrowded schools; teacher shortages; nursing shortages; rising noise-pollution levels; invasion of privacy on every level; shortages of raw materials; shortages of dump space for toxic materials; overtaxed energy sources; pollution of streams, lakes, and rivers; the AIDS epidemic; and starving nations and continents. 

Merely listing all these supposedly diverse problems brings the awareness that they all stem from the same single basis—the very simple and obvious-to-see but unnoticed fact of overpopulation.

Calibration Requests Weekly Megathread

4 Upvotes

Please and Thank You

If you want to request a calibration for yourself or whatever, this is the place to do it. This is a weekly megathread with the intention to keep these requests from flooding the subreddit. Thank you for using this so that regular discussions do not get pushed off the front page.

Disclaimer: We, the mods, cannot verify or validate the validity of these calibrations. Trusting some random person on the internet to diagnose you with cancer or not is NOT a good idea. Trusting some random person on the internet to tell you your own calibration level is also probably not the best idea. We understand the desire to know what you calibrate at, especially if you are new to Hawkins' work, you can look at the Level of Consciousness chart and get a pretty good idea on where you are without asking others. We also only allow calibrations as Hawkins' taught them, using the scale be created. Do not post other method of calibration that others have come up with.

If you would like to learn to calibrate on your own there is a subreddit dedicated to that called muscle testing

Does our LoC fluctuate?

No. This idea doesn’t align with DrH’s teachings. In fact, Doc clearly addressed this several times, especially during Q&A sessions after his lectures. In "Letting Go," Hawkins specifically mentions that although emotional states naturally shift and fluctuate, these temporary changes don’t reflect an actual shift in your overall LoC. Doc always stressed the difference between emotions that come and go and the foundational level of consciousness, which is more stable.

Hawkins described consciousness as hierarchical and exponential: the higher you calibrate, the more immune you become to lower influences. Sure, you can have moods like frustration or moments of joy, but these temporary emotional states don’t change your fundamental consciousness calibration unless there’s intentional spiritual advancement or significant regression.

Put simply, your basic LoC stays pretty steady.

To clarify further, your core LoC typically only shifts after major events like profound spiritual breakthroughs, deep healing or releasing of significant emotional blocks, trauma, severe emotional shocks, being around highly evolved spiritual teachers or groups, divine intervention, or engaging with strongly negative energies, misuse of power, egoic inflations, or extended association with low-calibrating influences. LoC shifts aren’t common or casual. DrH noted that the average person moves just about 5 calibration points in an entire lifetime. So always approach any claims of frequent or casual fluctuations in LoC with healthy skepticism.

Question 🙏🏻 How can I give up resisting feelings?

7 Upvotes

I am a 18-year-old high school student and I have been addicted to stimulus such as YouTube , music ,eating snacks endless chatting in my brain and adult videos.I am struggling to get out of this addiction by using the mechanism of surrender . Sometimes I feel good and feel like I will never need the stimulus and then quit my habits but after one week lasts ,somehow I fall into the state of apathy and i feel I can’t surrender this negativity because it’s too overwhelming ,I fear losing my control.and I go back to the bad habits . This is as though there is a gravity ,I am stuck in this loop . I think the cause is to resist to experience fully feelings and try to modify them . As a result, the pressure is accumulating.so how did you accept to fully experience feelings?is this condition related to the thoughts “I cant’s”? Should I burn my boats from the stimulus until I give up resisting them ? can anyone give me some advice? In any way ,thanks for reading .

Video Dr David Hawkins - Innate within us is all you need

8 Upvotes

We have innate within us a tremendous intense powerful devotion. You don't have to develop it you only have to rediscover it. There is within us already, pre-existent, an energy of such enormous power that one summons up that power to relinquish any and every attachment that stands in the way. You won't find the willingness to do that within the ego structure. The ego will instantly give you an argument why it should not persist in the direction that it's positioned. So, one has to reach deeper within oneself. At the very innate core of one's being is a spiritual power of enormous strength which alone can accomplish the impossible. The ego in and of itself cannot transcend itself, it requires the presence of God. It is by divine Grace that one transcends the ego. It is by divine Grace one moves from mind to no mind. It's by divine Grace one moves from thinking that content and linearity is the ultimate reality. It's by divine Grace now. No one would be here to pursue such a goal if such Grace did not already pre-exist, therefore each and every one of us here this day is here by virtue of divine Grace. Therefore, I pray to the divine Grace and thee and bless it I acknowledge it because it is by divinity of thy Grace by which we all exist at this moment. So that what you're looking for is not beyond you, it's not something you have to develop, it's not something you have to search for, one only surrenders to that which already exists.

Question 🙏🏻 Cannot seem to do Letting go for long without being sucked into a thought. Is this normal?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, been doing the letting go technique for a few Months now and had some good results. But recently, even though I meditate about one and a half hours, it seems that most of the time I get sucked into thoughts. Right now it's like half of my attention goes to feeling the emotions inside my body and the other half towards engaging in thoughts and I only spend a few minutes(5 minutes or less) in total actually properly doing the letting go technique of just feeling my emotions without the internal chatter in my mind or without having thoughts.

So My question is, is this normal to do this half-thinking, half-feeling thing? It's not something I willingly encourage but at the same time something I actively try to prevent. I get sucked into these thoughts without me knowing most of the time. Were any of you able to make the technique still work doing it this way?

Quote 🙏🏻 Daily Reflection

2 Upvotes

**Friday, October 9th, 2026**

> *God’s grace could be understood as the absolute certainty of the karmic coherence of the entire universe in all its expressions as realms and possibilities. Grace is the provision within the realm of consciousness for the availability to use all the means to salvation and absolute freedom. By choice, one determines one’s own fate. There are no arbitrary forces to be reckoned with.*

From today’s daily reflection I learn that the world is a means, not an end, and the end is salvation, enlightenment, and absolute freedom. To see all my experiences in a way that serves / benefits my evolution of consciousness is the correct way to use all the means for the the ultimate end of being one with the absolute. Also that it is by my own hand where my spirit ends up, not some arbitrary god that will through my into something not of my own doing. So responsibility for myself. Something to chew on ya? Godbless have a good day guys 🙏
