Lorenzo over at Reality Seeds is a dedicated blogger on everything related to reality, beliefs, levels of consciousness, guiding laws, dreams, visualization, health and the law of attraction. He’s a technical consultant, born in Italy and started his blog two months ago. What I like most about his entries is that he takes a surprisingly scientific approach to the subject of how to create and manifest a reality to our own liking - a subject most controversial to purely rational thinkers.
This stands out mostly through his use of media and external resources that add a very welcome spice to his views on the subject. He has a great way of presenting mind map images that literally explain how the mind or the different levels of consciousness relate to each other and impact the way we co-create our experiences. The videos so far have been great additions touching upon the law of attraction, how to strongly focus on the positive intentions and also, how science is starting to lean toward an observer-creator collaboration in explaining reality and scientific laws.
The source of his inspiration is closest to that of Huna, a form of ancient Polynesian wisdom. He has started a glossary as well, where the definitions he use are easily accessible for the readers. Additionally he shares his most recommended resources in the form of books and DVDs that touch upon these subjects.
I urge you to join the blog now as it sums up to somewhat of a book of information that tells a story, dependant on previous understanding of what is written. So with 25 entries as of today you can easily align with all the intriguing knowledge and concepts he’s got to share. Some of the entries are quite long so it already packs quite a punch in reshaping the way you may think about reality.

Power vs. Force

David R. Hawkins’ book explains the hidden determinants of human behaviour and is one of the most outstanding and significant books I’ve read. The sole and whole message is that all things existing (people, objects, emotions, thoughts, habits, teachings, etc.) calibrate at a level of consciousness measured on a logarithmic scale from 1 to 1 000. This, in all its simplicity means that every person ought to avoid things at the lower levels of consciousness and attract things at the higher end - for the good of all humanity and the universe. 200 is the breaking point where anything beneath is negative, weak, bad, unhealthy and wrong while anything above signifies the positive, strong, good, healthy and right. While this may sound like an overly dramatic and narrow view since it gives the impression that all is either black or white, it is so merely from an objective, or universal viewpoint. But as people have a personal, subjective view of what is right or wrong it is dependant on each person’s level of consciousness they are in.
For instance, for those lingering in the level of apathy (poverty, despair and hopelessness), ascension into fear for instance would be a great step forward (fear drives to take action to avoid the objects of fear, e.g. rejection, death and enemies). But for a person driven by pride (egoistically feeling good about self, but defensive and vulnerable to attack), fear would be a step far lower and worse than the consciousness level of pride. However, all of these levels are below 200, and from the perspective of the collective awareness of humanity, drag it downward. Those individuals calibrating at a level past 200 serve as the contributors of improvement and higher understanding to everyone. Force calibrates below 200 and is driven by tangible objectives while power is an unlimited and intangible source of improvement that is separate from the ego.
Hawkins explains all of the levels with undeniable accuracy and great insight, but as the verdict lies in the mind of the beholder, those still struggling with their understanding of the nature of reality, spirituality and non-duality, will find it troublesome to accept the viewpoint that man is the sole contributor to how his life is. Every level is a trap in itself as one is first required to leave the crucial hindrance of the existing level behind to allow the empowering belief and understanding definable by the next level to successfully make the transition. As a good example, nobody can quit smoking (level of desire) until there’s a feeling of fury or frustration over its effects (level of anger). This doesn’t mean that it is the best motivational factor to eliminate smoking, but it is the primary drive that has the ability to take action. Desire in itself perpetuates and enjoys a negative habit due to ignorance.
What I want to emphasize in this review is that every single person can identify themselves in a level of consciousness through this incredibly valuable framework, and moreover identify what is lacking in their mind-set to take the step to the next level that adds more purpose and value to daily existence - in a most significant manner. This tool explains why there is no given thing in the world that everybody thinks of as a positive part in their life. Differences in opinions over any given issue is the result of people found at different levels of awareness. The harsh realization of all this is the truth behind the saying that birds of a feather flock together. There’s a feeling of comfort when surrounding oneself with people at the same level, but comfort never pushed anyone to make a leap into the better. At best, if the current level of comfort is robbed from an individual, the person will rebound to get it back.
There’s so much to this book that I’d have to write a lengthy, separate article to present the most valuable insights I found. Therefore, I’m likely to write one or a few closely ones linked to the material in Power vs. Force in the future. My sincerely best recommendation is to pick up the book for yourself and devour it from cover to cover. Simply reading it through has the power to raise your understanding of the nature and purpose of things and yourself. You will not only discover your current drive or meaning for existing, but also be given a great framework for understanding the path of improved life quality.
