Why Holy Christianity?
While there have been many incredible advancements made in science and technology over the past century, few people are aware that there have also been amazing breakthroughs in the religious/spiritual realm as well.
In recent decades, new tools and methods have been developed that can rapidly accelerate the religious/spiritual journey so that salvation, the ultimate goal of Christianity, is more easily attainable for all.
The main purpose of the Holy Christian Bible is to present these new breakthroughs. This bible is not meant to be merely a few steps forward; it is meant to offer an entirely new paradigm that has the capacity to transform our entire world.
Most of these breakthroughs have been due to kinesiology. There are different types of kinesiology, but this is regarding how external stimuli affect the physical body.
A brief explanation: Positive stimuli cause the musculature of the body to go temporarily strong, while negative stimuli cause it to go temporarily weak. It has been discovered that the kind of stimuli that affect the body include statements, those either spoken or held in mind.
So a true statement, because it has a positive energy field, makes the body go strong, while a false statement, because it has a negative energy field, makes the body go weak. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 29-30)
Using a technique known as muscle testing, it is possible to test statements to determine if they have a positive or negative energy field. In other words, it is possible to test statements to verify whether they are true or false. What this means is that we now have the ability to determine truth from falsehood. We now have the ability, under certain conditions, to get a correct answer to any question we ask.
Kinesiology has allowed much research to be done in the non-linear realm regarding subject matter that would not have been possible otherwise. We now have answers to theological questions that have perplexed mankind for ages. We have also developed amazing new tools to deal with the challenges and suffering that are inherent in the human condition.
The next obvious question: How exactly is muscle testing possible and how does it work?
There is a vast universal database that records every single thought and action that occurs throughout all of history, no matter how seemingly insignificant. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 34-35) This database can be accessed with the use of muscle testing, but only under the following conditions:
Unless all three of these conditions are met, the tester will be denied access to the database. This prevents the test from being used for non-integrous purposes. In other words, only the forces of light are allowed access to the truth. Also, one can only test anything related to the present or past. One cannot test the future because the future does not exist. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 294, 376)
There are a number of ways to muscle test, but one of the most common is the O-ring method. First, one presses the tips of the thumb and middle finger together on the left hand to form a ring. Then a statement is said, and the thumb and forefinger from the right hand are quickly (within the span of a second) used to try to break the ring apart. If the two fingers forming the ring hold strong, the statement is true. If they go weak and the ring breaks apart, the statement is false.
It sounds simple but is difficult to do. In reality, it can take years of practice before one can discern the difference between a positive and a negative.
Another obstacle is that only those who have integrity can perform the test. This unfortunately disqualifies the vast majority of the world’s population from the outset. (Hawkins, 2005, p. 282)
When it comes to testing and researching the non-linear domain, of tremendous value is the Map of Consciousness. The map is essentially a scale that goes from 0 to 1000. Anything at 200 or higher is positive. Anything below 200 is negative. 0 to 499 is the linear domain. 500 to 1000 is the non-linear. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 30, 67-70)
Every person, object, thought, idea, and event has an energy field, either positive or negative. Using the map allows us to get a meaningful measurement of any energy field, past or present. The higher the number, the more powerful the energy field, and it is a logarithmic progression. This means that 400 is not twice the amplitude of 200; it is 10 to the 400th power. Therefore, to go up just a few points is an enormous increase in power. (Hawkins, 1995, p. 75)

There is a vast universal database that records every single thought and action that occurs throughout all of history, no matter how seemingly insignificant. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 34-35) This database can be accessed with the use of muscle testing, but only under the following conditions:
- The person doing the testing must have integrity.
- The person’s intention must be integrous.
- The inquiry being made must be in the highest good.
Unless all three of these conditions are met, the tester will be denied access to the database. This prevents the test from being used for non-integrous purposes. In other words, only the forces of light are allowed access to the truth. Also, one can only test anything related to the present or past.

Anything at 200 or higher is positive. Anything below 200 is negative. 0 to 499 is the linear domain. 500 to 1000 is the non-linear. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 30, 67-70)
Every person, object, thought, idea, and event has an energy field, either positive or negative. Using the map allows us to get a meaningful measurement of any energy field, past or present. The higher the number, the more powerful the energy field, and it is a logarithmic progression. This means that 400 is not twice the amplitude of 200; it is 10 to the 400th power. Therefore, to go up just a few points is an enormous increase in power. (Hawkins, 1995, p. 75)
Another word for energy field is calibration. For example, if we say that something or someone calibrates at 200, we are saying that its energy field is at 200.
With muscle testing, we can discover the level of power of each of the world’s great religions:
Christianity - 498 (Hawkins, 1995, p. 272)
Buddhism - 866
Hinduism - 843
In regards to Christianity, we arrive at the calibration of 498 by testing the following:
Christianity calibrates over 200? (Y/N)
Over 300? (Y/N)
Over 400? (Y/N)
And so on. You keep going until you get the exact number.
Note that Christianity calibrates much lower than Buddhism and Hinduism. This is cause for concern.
When we test the energy field or calibration of a person, we refer to it as a person’s level of consciousness (LOC). This is essentially a measurement of how spiritually advanced a person is. It is also a way to determine if they have integrity or not.
Here are the LOCs of various religious/biblical figures:
Moses - 910
Abraham - 850
Pontius Pilate - 124
King Herod - 95
The Virgin Mary - 616
St. Paul (Saul of Tarsus) - 745
John the Baptist - 930
The Twelve Apostles - 980
Buddha - 1000
Krishna - 1000
Jesus - 1000
(Hawkins, 2005, p. 384)
People who do not have integrity will have a LOC below 200. This accounts for the low calibrations of King Herod and Pontius Pilate.
As of this writing, 85 percent of the world’s population has a LOC below 200. Very few ever reach the higher levels such as the 500s (Love) or enlightenment which begins at 600. Full enlightenment is at 1000, the highest level that a human being can attain. Only the great avatars have ever reached 1000.
Here are some more testing examples:
King James Bible - 475
Lamsa Bible - 495
Koran - 700
Nicene Creed - 895
Trinity (concept) - 945
The Lord’s Prayer - 650
Genesis (Lamsa Bible) - 660
Gospel of Luke - 699
Christian Communion - 700
Amazing Grace - 575
Joy To The World - 575
Silent Night - 575
The Passion of the Christ (film, edited version) - 395
Killing Jesus (book) - 452
Archangels - 50,000+
God - Infinity
Prayer increases healing? True.
Jesus’ thirty-three miracles? True.
Jesus fed the thousands? True.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married? False.
(Hawkins, 2005, p. 98, 108, 366-367, 382, 383, 386-387)
Note that both the King James Bible and the Lamsa Bible have a significantly lower calibration than the Koran, yet the Nicene Creed (which states the basic tenets of Christianity) calibrates extremely high.
Overall, these test results indicate that Christianity has some serious problems in its current form. The truth of its original teachings has been compromised.
This is why we believe it is time for a new Christianity. A restored Christianity. A Christianity that is truly holy.
It is time for Holy Christianity.
What is currently wrong with Christianity?
Research indicates that Christianity originally calibrated at 1000 in terms of its level of truth, and the religion held up fairly well over its first three centuries. It was at 840 prior to the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. But afterwards it suffered a serious drop as a result of errors made by the Council in interpreting the teachings, eventually falling to 485. Today, as of this writing, Christianity is at 498.
This decline was mostly due to the inclusion in the Bible of a large number of books that are negative overall and calibrate below 200. Almost all these books tell of a jealous, vengeful, unforgiving God which is in direct contradiction with Christ’s teachings of a God who is all-merciful and all-loving. Whereas early Christianity focused on unconditional love, these books put an emphasis on guilt and sin.
To drop from 1000 to 498 is a tremendous loss of power, and it is undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies in the history of Western civilization. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 334-335)
But there is no reason why Christianity should forever be bound to the mistakes of the past. With muscle testing, we are able to confirm that correcting these errors is not only in the highest good but in alignment with the will of God.

Revelation
As shown above, we have removed Revelation from the New Testament and all the books of the Old Testament except Genesis, Psalms, and Proverbs. All the discarded books calibrate below 200. The vast majority of them have a negative energy field at the level of Anger (150-174). This makes sense given that almost all of them (except Esther and Song of Solomon) offer a portrait of an angry, vengeful God. But of all these books, Revelation is easily the worst. With an extremely low calibration of 70, its End Times prophecy that God will destroy the world by fire tests as false. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 198) If the world is ever destroyed by nuclear war, it will not be by God’s hand. Revelation has led to the creation of numerous doomsday cults and has made it easier for the enemies of Christianity to portray the religion in a negative light. Without question, the damage that these books have done to Christianity is incalculable.
To be fair, most of these books do have individual passages that calibrate at a high level of truth. So while it cannot be said that none of these books contain any wisdom, they are still unworthy of being part of the foundation of Christianity’s teachings.
Of course, many Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God and is therefore sacrosanct. However, it is important to realize that its books were not written by Jesus but by many authors. Some of these authors were enlightened (i.e. Mark, John, Peter, Paul), but others were not. Furthermore, these books were written during an era when the level of consciousness of mankind was much lower than it is now, and truth, therefore, was even more difficult to discern, so it should hardly be surprising that errors were made. Was the Bible divinely inspired? The fact that it turned out as good as it did indicates the answer is yes.
But the benefits of restoring Christianity’s level of truth cannot be overstated. At such a level of power, its influence will grow far greater than ever before, and the decline of religion that has occurred in the West in recent decades will no doubt be reversed.
We believe the addition of the Modern Testament will aid in this reversal. Despite the great wisdom that does exist in the Bible’s pages, its books can feel inaccessible due to the era from which they came. Another drawback of the Bible’s age is that it offers no defense of Western civilization which is currently in decline and under attack. It offers no commentary on the many new false religions that have recently appeared which have deceptively lured millions of people into their ranks. Because of all this, one can make a strong argument that the Bible in its current form is insufficient in meeting the needs of modern man.
Therefore, adding new books written specifically to address a modern audience that offer not only answers to age-old questions but brand-new ones as well as revolutionary new tools and methods is absolutely vital.
But there are other reasons why we believe the addition of the Modern Testament with new books is important. This hopefully will send a clear message that Holy Christianity is offering something truly different. We also want this new information to be set in stone and not easily subject to future revision, since any revisions are likely to be for the worse. This will hopefully inoculate the Holy Christian Church from the corruption and decline that other churches have experienced.
Now that we have thoroughly explained our reasons for offering a new Christianity, let us begin answering some of mankind’s most important theological questions.
What is the nature of God?
God is the source of life, evolution, and creation.
God is all-loving and all-merciful.
God does not possess human weaknesses such as anger, resentment, and jealousy.
God is not judgmental nor does He seek revenge or retaliation.
God is not confined to a locality, time, or place. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 163-164)
The time is long overdue for us to finally cast aside the jealous, angry, vengeful God of the Old Testament. God is not anger. God is not judgment. God is not hatred.
God is love.
On this the New Testament is very clear:
“We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.” (1 John 4:16)
Can the existence of God be proven?
The answer is no. Not if by “proven” one means verification using the scientific method. Unfortunately, the scientific method itself is limited because it can only measure that which has form. It cannot measure anything that is formless. And God is formless.
Therefore, the existence of God cannot be proven; it can only be known. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 180)
However, there is certainly an abundance of evidence that God exists. To start, your very existence, as well as that of the world around you, is evidence of this.
But science in recent years has been able to make a very compelling case for God. Today there are 200 known parameters that are required for life to exist on a planet. In addition, astrophysicists have determined that the parameters for the universe itself to exist are far, far greater. Every single one must be perfectly met or there could be no life at all.
The odds that every single one of these parameters could have been perfectly met by accident? It has been said it would be like tossing a penny and having it come up heads 10 quintillion times in a row.
So believing that everything in the universe just miraculously came together by accident increasingly seems like a greater act of faith than simply believing in God. One scientist even admitted his atheism had been “badly shaken” and that the evidence of a Creator is “overwhelming.” (Mataxes, 2014)
Was Jesus the Son of God?
With muscle testing, we can confirm that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected three days later. All of these things test as true.
What is the purpose of life?
To grow and evolve.
And this realm offers the maximum opportunity for this growth to occur. It is extremely rare to be born a human being. There is actually a very long waiting list. Therefore, it would be correct to view the human condition not as a curse but as a great gift.
A large reason why Western civilization is currently in crisis is that since the end of the Cold War it has lacked a clear purpose. Worldly goals are not enough. Even if one succeeds in achieving worldly success, the inevitable conundrum becomes: “What next?”
We believe the Christian goal of salvation can provide the kind of purpose and meaning that so many people are lacking today. The journey itself is just as important as the destination.
What is the key to happiness?
Happiness is largely based on one’s level of consciousness. For example, a person whose LOC is at the level of Anger will experience this as their primary emotion, and thus happiness will likely prove elusive. Happiness comes much easier to those at the higher levels above 200 because the primary emotions they experience are positive (Courage, Willingness, Reason, Love).
Growth is also important. As long as you are growing, even in small ways, you will feel happy. True self-esteem comes from accomplishment. The “everyone gets a trophy” philosophy tries to deny this truth, but it will never succeed in creating happier people.
How can one change the world?
A rising tide lifts all boats. As we grow spiritually and increase our level of consciousness, the power of our energy field increases exponentially, and this helps to counterbalance the collective negativity of mankind. If one wishes to benefit the world, this is much more effective than protesting with a sign on a street corner because it is unseen and therefore unopposed. It is the difference between using power and using force. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 301)
So if you wish to change the world, the best way to do this is to change yourself.
If heaven exists and if God is all-loving, then why doesn’t He simply place us all there? Why does God make us live in a world where pain and suffering exist? Why does God allow evil to exist?
These are age-old questions, and yet they all have essentially the same answer.
God has given each of us the gift of agency. This is the ability to choose. Without agency, we cannot have a purpose. Nor can we accomplish anything. Without purpose and accomplishment, existence would be empty.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe, yet for love to be real it must be freely chosen. This also requires agency. Otherwise, we would exist without love. This would also be empty.
The falls of Adam and Eve and the angel Lucifer demonstrate the folly of handing someone heaven who hasn’t earned it. They ultimately will not appreciate it and will inevitably violate the rules and principles that are required to live at such a high level.
As for this world, God did not force us to be born into it. We freely chose this existence, as it offers the maximum opportunity for growth. Again, freedom of choice is crucial. We have been given the freedom to choose love or hate. This is why what we call “evil” exists. God could force us all to act in a loving way, but it wouldn’t be real love if not freely chosen, and it would rob us of the opportunity to grow and evolve, so what would be the point?
With this knowledge, we can begin to view the world from a different perspective. We can respect the fact that each individual is simply exercising the freedom of choice that God has given them even if we don’t agree with the choices they make.
This world is also designed to allow each of us to work through negative karma (debts resulting from negative actions taken in previous lifetimes) which is the only way we can spiritually move forward. This usually involves suffering and negative circumstances and events that we judge to be “bad.” But what is agony for the ego is often elixir for the spirit.
Why doesn’t the Bible mention karma?
Although the Bible doesn’t mention karma, it does say that virtue and sin have different consequences for the soul after one dies and that the soul will either wind up in heaven or hell as a result. (Hawkins, 2006, p. 160)
What is the nature of heaven and hell?
Heaven and hell are each composed of various regions or levels. Dante’s Divine Comedy gives a fairly accurate description of both.
As to where the soul winds up, it all is dependent on one’s level of consciousness. The Map of Consciousness is a useful guide in this regard. Someone at 195 would wind up in the highest region of hell. A serial killer at 20 would wind up in one of the lower regions. The lower one goes, the more dreadful and hopeless it becomes. Only souls at 200 or higher go to heaven.
The good news is that when we die God does not pass judgment on us. Our level of consciousness is what decides the destination of the soul, and that is something we have control over. So where we go after death is ultimately up to us. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 254-255)
Is reincarnation real?
Yes. Many Christians do not believe in reincarnation, but Jesus did briefly acknowledge it when he stated that Elijah had returned as John the Baptist (Matthew 11:7-14 and 17:10-13).
If the purpose of our earthly existence is to grow and evolve, then the idea of reincarnation makes perfect sense as a single lifetime is not enough for most people to make any real spiritual progress. Also, a God that is all-loving and all-forgiving would surely offer the karmic opportunity of another chance.
What is salvation?
Salvation is the ultimate goal of Christianity. Reaching this level of consciousness guarantees the safety of the soul in the afterlife. Another term for salvation is unconditional love. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 108)
Jesus taught unconditional love:
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44)
“For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another” (1 John 3:11)
“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.” (Colossians 3:14)
Some Christians believe that simply becoming a Christian and accepting Jesus as one’s savior is all that is required in order to be “saved.” However, this is not true.
Jesus alluded to this in the parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:2-10) in which a guest shows up improperly dressed for the occasion and is thrown out. He also states it outright:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do mighty works?’ Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’” (Matthew 7:21-23)
Clearly, it is not enough to simply enter the Christian church. Salvation must be earned, and it is not an easy path.
One of the major challenges has been that the idea of salvation is too abstract and ethereal for most people. But major spiritual advancements made in recent decades have enabled us to turn this “airy fairy” concept into something that is concrete and measurable.
Salvation/unconditional love is located at 540 on the Map of Consciousness, and its attainment can be confirmed with muscle testing.
What exactly is unconditional love?
It needs to be understood that unconditional love is more than just a feeling. It is a spiritual state.
When we speak of love, we are not referring to romantic love which is defined by physical attraction, eroticism, and possessiveness. This isn’t real love.
The kind of love we are referring to is permanent and unchanging. It does not take any position and focuses only on the good in life. It augments the positive instead of attacking the negative.
People who reach this level of consciousness experience an inner joy that is constant. It is independent of events. Saving the world now becomes unnecessary because the world is seen as innately beautiful. This is what happens when one has the ability to love all of life in all its colors and expressions. One can finally see and know the absolute truth: The world is perfect just as it is.
Unconditional love is the level of sainthood, and it is the true level of happiness. It is a feeling unlike any other. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 90-92)
One person at this level is able to counterbalance the negativity of four million people whose level of consciousness is below 200. Hopefully, you can now see exactly what we mean when we say that the best way to change the world is to change yourself. Only a relatively small number of people would need to reach this level of consciousness in order for it to have an expansive impact on the entire world.
How does one reach unconditional love?
The way to unconditional love is amazingly simple in practice. One must be loving toward everyone at all times, in all situations, regardless of the circumstances. With this simple approach, unconditional love can be achieved in a single human lifetime, although it could conceivably take decades.
What makes this path so difficult is that when one pursues unconditional love, all the obstacles to love come up. For example, one may suddenly find others to be surprisingly callous or cruel. When these things happen, it is essentially a test. It can be extremely frustrating to pursue love only to find it elusive, but it helps to understand that one is simply working through negative karma. Another challenge is the tendency to view certain people as evil and so loving them will not seem possible.
The path to unconditional love is best described as one of addition by subtraction. One cannot simply be unconditionally loving. One must first remove the obstacles to unconditional love which traditionally has been a very long and difficult undertaking.
Fortunately, there are now ways to rapidly accelerate this process.
Tools and Methods
Traditional self-help - 223
Letting Go - 335
Stacking - 430
Clearing - 444
Radical Truth - 494
Iboga - 500
A Course In Miracles - 600
Anything that calibrates at 200 or higher on the Map of Consciousness has a positive energy field and has integrity. But it will be helpful to clarify what the various levels above 200 represent when it comes to evaluating the tools and methods we have listed here. Anything in the 200s should be considered good. Anything in the 300s is very good. Anything in the 400s is great. Anything at 500 or higher is outstanding.
Note that traditional self-help is in the low 200s. This means it qualifies as merely good and thus most people will not greatly benefit from it. So why do so many self-help books, programs, and seminars fail to achieve greatness?
The reason is that most of our problems, challenges, and limitations are rooted in the unconscious. We have so many unconscious negative programs, beliefs, and emotions that run and control us, yet traditional self-help cannot access the unconscious. This is why it usually falls short.
Sadly, most self-help can only teach us how to decorate our prisons. If we wish to be set free from our prisons, we will need something at a higher level.
Letting Go
There has never been a tool so simple and yet so powerful as this one. It is a way to eliminate pain. Most people don’t understand pain. They don’t truly understand why they experience it nor do they know how best to deal with it.
Here is the first and perhaps most important lesson:
You are never in pain for the reason you think you are.
This is crucial to understand. The source of our pain, whether it be physical or mental, is always unconscious.
Your conscious mind wants to make sense of everything. Because of this, it will always come up with a reason for why you are in pain, but do not believe what it tells you for it is not capable of knowing the real answer.
The mind’s limited understanding often leads to terrible mistakes. People think their marriage is the cause of their anguish, so they divorce their spouse. Or they think their job is the problem, so they quit. Or they think their body is the issue, so they undergo dangerous surgeries or medical treatments.
Whenever you are in any kind of pain, don’t try to understand why. Don’t try to reason your way out of it. Just focus on releasing the pain which can be done with the Letting Go method. It offers a way to alleviate mental anguish and also quickly heal physical pain and physical injury.
Whenever one experiences pain, whether it be physical or mental, the automatic instinct is to resist, to try to push it away. But resisting pain doesn’t alleviate it; it merely prolongs it.
The answer is non-resistance. This is how Letting Go works. Instead of resisting the pain, one surrenders to it. Ask for more of it. Say “More! More!” By allowing the pain to pass through you without resistance, it will disappear much faster. How much faster? It can often happen in less than a minute. In the most extreme cases, however, it can take several weeks. (Hawkins, 2012, pp. 19-22)
A good analogy would be a tree in a hurricane. A tree that tries to hold strong against such a ferocious wind will surely break. But a tree that is able to bend with the wind will survive.
Letting Go can be used to quickly heal physical injuries, even major ones such as burns and broken bones. It can also be used to heal illness and disease, even cancer. (Hawkins, 2009, pp. 306-307, 436) Why? Because we mistakenly believe that illness and disease are the result of something “out there” that has afflicted us. But in reality, the root of all disease is not “out there” but “in here.” Illness and disease are usually the result of suppressed negative emotions such as unconscious guilt, grief, fear, shame, and anger (A useful exercise is to look back at the most painful events of your life and try to stir up any suppressed negative emotions you may have, then use Letting Go to release them).
Finally, it can also be used when you find yourself in a deep pit of despair. All this makes Letting Go one of the most invaluable tools ever created.
If by chance you find the Letting Go method not working for you, an extra step you can take is by way of prayer. Ask to be shown whatever is present that is not aligned with truth and love.
Why can prayer make a difference? Because any kind of spiritual error results in pain. If you are holding something in your subconscious that is not aligned with the absolute truth, it will result in pain. And if you can't muscle test, then deep prayer may be the only way to determine what the error is.
Perhaps the only challenge with Letting Go is that it is so simple that you can easily forget to use it. Whenever you feel any kind of pain, just stop resisting and surrender. This alone has the capacity to transform your entire life.
Stacking
This method utilizes both Letting Go and the Map of Consciousness in an extremely powerful way. It is a way to release unconscious “blocks.” A block is essentially an issue. It is something negative that needs to be either resolved or released.
Imagine for a moment that you are the sun, perfect in every way. But there are clouds that are preventing your light from shining through. These clouds represent the negative unconscious blocks that are holding you back. Traditional self-help will try to show you how to make your light shine brighter, to shine through the clouds. Unfortunately, this is very difficult and requires so much effort that, even when possible, it simply isn’t sustainable.
But imagine if instead you could simply remove the clouds that were in front of you. Then your light would shine through automatically, effortlessly. Well, with this method we can begin to remove, bit by bit, the clouds that are blocking and diminishing you. Doing this will rapidly accelerate your spiritual progress, and your level of consciousness will inevitably begin to rise.
Stacking can be done once a day. Each day there will usually be at least one negative block that is available to be released, but unless you can muscle test then you can’t know what it is. So what you do is go down the Map of Consciousness and use the Letting Go method on every single negative emotion, from Pride to Below Zero. Doing this should allow you to release most of whatever negative blocks are available.
You begin by sitting or lying down with your eyes closed. We recommend saying a quick prayer in which you ask the Holy Spirit for assistance in releasing whatever blocks are available. You could also ask the Holy Spirit to make any blocks available that are related to a specific issue such as social anxiety or a past traumatic experience.
You then imagine a dark cloud above you that fills the entire sky. This dark cloud is meant to represent Pride. Begin to use the Letting Go method. You simply look at the cloud, don’t resist it, and say yes to it. You do this for about 30 seconds, then you invite love into it. You imagine a whirlwind of love coming in and enveloping you and everything around you, making the dark cloud disappear. Do this for about 20 seconds.
After Pride, you then repeat the entire exercise with the next negative emotion on the map which is Anger. And you keep going until you have done this exercise with every single one of them.
Here is the full list of negative emotions:
Pride
Anger
Desire
Fear
Grief
Apathy
Guilt
Shame
Below Zero (wanting to die)
By the time you are finished, you will have likely released most, if not all, of whatever negative blocks that are available to be released. But there is one further step that you can take.
You say, “If there is anything else available to be healed, let it come up now.” Then you imagine some dust rising up out of the ground, representing whatever else there is that can be healed. And then imagine a whirlwind of love coming in and healing it.
Once the process is finished, you will usually feel pretty amazing. The entire exercise should take less than 10 minutes. It is extremely powerful indeed.
Clearing
This next method also utilizes Letting Go. It can be used to remove unconscious negative programs and identities.
What is a program? Imagine a computer program that keeps running and running. Now imagine a program that is running you but in a way that is hurting you. Most people are severely limited due to the large number of negative programs that control them. If you find yourself continually sabotaging yourself or acting in destructive ways that you can’t seem to control, it may be due to the influence of a program (If you find yourself repeatedly thinking a negative phrase, that phrase may be a negative program).
An identity often starts with “I am.” It is a way that you view yourself.
Here are some common negative programs and identities:
I want to fail.
I want to die.
I’ll never be forgiven.
I’m trapped.
I want.
I’m weak.
I’m scared.
My life is over.
I have no control.
There's no hope.
I won’t try.
I don’t care.
I give up.
I’m ruined.
I hate myself.
I should be better.
I want pity.
Love is scarce.
Love hurts.
Love is cruel.
I don’t want love.
I’m unlovable.
I’m above love.
I’m not worthy of love.
God is unlovable.
I’m not worthy of God.
I hate God.
I hate people.
I hate life.
I’m ugly.
I’m a victim.
People are cruel.
Rejection is death.
The world is too difficult.
I’m a phony.
I'm inferior.
I'm a loser.
I'm ashamed.
I'm overwhelmed.
I'm helpless.
I'm cursed.
I'm afraid.
I'm not enough.
I'm bad.
To begin, be willing to consider that there may be things about yourself that you don’t know. Be willing to explore them.
Go down this list and find any phrases that resonate with you. You will need to spend a few weeks contemplating each one. Pray to the Holy Spirit for help.
Take time each day to focus on the phrase. Ask yourself, “Is this true?” If you believe the answer is yes, then ask yourself three questions:
Could I be willing to let go of this?
Would I be willing to let go of this?
When? (Now.)
After asking the third question, pray for assistance before answering. (Larry Crane - Release technique)
Keep focusing on the phrase without resistance. Use the Letting Go technique on it at least once a day.
This method tends to be very hit-and-miss. It requires patience and perseverance. We are trying to access the unconscious, and this is very difficult to do if you can't muscle test. Keep in mind that some programs and identities can have multiple layers to them. But simply being aware of a program/identity and looking at it for a period of time can be enough to eventually release it.
Note that some of the above phrases involve God. It will be tempting for religious people to assume that they don’t have any issues with God, but this is rarely the case. So we recommend trying this exercise with some of the phrases even if they don’t resonate with you just to see if you can discover something that you were not consciously aware of.
Programs can often cause unconscious self-sabotage. If you are constantly making bad decisions in certain areas of your life (or all areas), then you may very well have a self-sabotage program that is running you. If so, removing it is one of the most important things you can do.
But don’t think that Clearing is just about self-help. It can remove obstacles that are inhibiting your spiritual growth. When you consider that it is very possible to carry a program or identity for multiple lifetimes, there should be no understating how beneficial this can be.
Will this method remove all or most of your negative programs and identities? Unlikely. The average person simply has too many of them. The most effective ways of doing this involve using Radical Truth or Iboga. But Clearing can hopefully help you remove the ones that are the most destructive.
A Course In Miracles
This is a one-year course that is available for free online at acim.org. There are two main parts: the Text and the Workbook for Students. It is recommended that you skip the Text (as it contains a number of errors) and just do the Workbook for Students. It is the Workbook, not the Text, that calibrates at 600.
There are 365 daily lessons to complete. All the exercises are simple but each must be practiced and applied to the fullest. Otherwise, you will not make any significant progress.
A Course in Miracles is rooted in the power of forgiveness. Successfully completing the entire workbook should raise one’s level of consciousness to 540. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 315; 2005, p. 366)
Radical Truth
The tools and methods we have discussed thus far have been relatively simple. Starting now, we will introduce ones that are more complex and extreme.
Stacking allows you to remove negative blocks. Clearing can remove negative programs and identities. But Radical Truth can do all of these and much more. While Stacking and Clearing employ a scattershot approach, Radical Truth has the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel.
In our discussion of Stacking, we mentioned that there is usually at least one block that is available each day to be released. Radical Truth involves the use of muscle testing which allows the practitioner to identify the exact energy level of the available block as well as other critical elements. For example, muscle testing might reveal that the block is Guilt. You could then identify the context of the block: life, love, God, sex, others, or the world. There could be an incident related to the block. Muscle testing can then identify the year the incident occurred, if there were other people involved, and other details.
There could be numerous other elements such as an intention, a curse, a program, an upset, a limiting belief, an identity, a withhold, a decision, a soul vow, an archetype, and many others that comprise the entirety of the block. Once identified, the Letting Go method is used to release many of these elements.
Here are seven real-life examples of blocks that were identified using Radical Truth:
Fear in the context of the world.
Intention: To not let anyone see me as I truly am.
Identity: I’m inferior.
Curse: You’re no good.
Program: I’m trapped.
Withhold: Fear is being used as an excuse to justify retreating from the world.
***
Guilt in the context of the world.
Intention: To punish myself because I don’t think I’m worthy of being in the world.
Identity: I’m inferior.
Program: I won’t try.
***
Apathy in the context of God. From 1 lifetime ago.
Intention: To give up on love.
Identity: I’m helpless.
Curse on God: You cheated me.
Program: I’ll never find love.
Decision: To never allow myself to be vulnerable.
***
Shame in the context of the world.
Intention: To hide.
Identity: I’m pathetic.
Program: The world is too difficult.
Turnaround: The world is easy as long as you trust God.
***
Neutrality in the context of life.
The error was to see unconditional love as being neutral, but unconditional love as a way of being can never be neutral.
***
Willingness in the context of life.
Intention: To start trying.
The error was to believe that one must try. Instead, one simply has to be.
***
Willingness in the context of the world.
The error was trying to grow spiritually without identifying with the larger Self.
Intention: To do it on my own.
Identity: I’m enough (as in the small “I”).
As you can see, the nuance and level of detail in these blocks are impressive. With this method, you can even release blocks from previous lifetimes that are still affecting you now. These examples demonstrate just how powerful Radical Truth is. When you can access the unconscious, you can get to the heart of the issue/problem quickly and avoid wasting time.
Note that the last three blocks involve willingness and neutrality which are positive emotions. Although rare, you sometimes will encounter blocks that are positive (above 200), and they can be the hardest ones to figure out.
This is why prayer plays such a crucial part in the process. When it comes to determining specific answers, they often can only be discerned through prayer. During the session, the practitioner simply prays to be shown the answer and waits for it to come. Muscle testing is used to confirm that the answer is correct. What this means is that the practitioner is merely a conduit for the Holy Spirit.
The third book of the Modern Testament, A Story of Salvation, provides many other real-life examples of Radical Truth. It reveals just how quickly this method can raise your level of consciousness. The entire process is laid out in the book Radical Truth: A Step-By-Step Walkthrough.
As of this writing, finding a competent Radical Truth practitioner may be a challenge as there are very few out there. We plan to list the ones we know of on our website. Radical Truth is not something that can be faked, so it should only take a single session to discern if a practitioner is legitimate.
For many, the financial cost of the sessions will be prohibitive, but Radical Truth is unquestionably one of the most powerful spiritual tools you can use.
Iboga
This is a psychedelic plant medicine that originated in Africa. It has been used for over two thousand years as a shamanic medicine that is capable of miraculous healing. It can also facilitate enormous jumps in your level of consciousness.
Iboga releases negative blocks just like Radical Truth, but it is infinitely more powerful. For comparison, Radical Truth can help you to release a few blocks at most in a single day, yet with Iboga, you can release hundreds of blocks in the same time frame. It is non-addictive and perfectly safe to use (except for people who have a heart condition). But you should have someone to watch over you because the medicine causes you to lose your balance and equilibrium. As a result, you will be unable to walk on your own for a few days until the medicine wears off.
It would be no exaggeration to call Iboga the ultimate spiritual shortcut. However, it is a shortcut that comes with a price. You must face what is inside of you. For some people, the medicine will remove their negative blocks, but each block gets one last shot at them on the way out. When this happens, it is not a pleasant experience. It can last as long as 24 hours and is one of the most difficult things a human being can endure.
However, most people do not experience this. The medicine has an intelligence to it, and it will not hit you with anything you cannot handle. But once it begins, there is no way to back out. You must ride it out until the end no matter how long it takes or how difficult the journey becomes.
Iboga is also used to heal drug and alcohol addictions. It can remove every trace of an addiction so that a person never has to worry about relapsing. It can also remove fears and help resolve many other issues as well.
To be clear, Iboga is not for everyone. It is not a casual experience. But for those who want to make major progress quickly, there is no better alternative.
Could someone use Iboga to reach salvation/unconditional love in a single day? The answer is yes. If the goal you set for yourself is to remove the obstacles to unconditional love, it can indeed happen in a single day. Just be aware that it could be the most difficult day of your entire life.
As of this writing, Iboga (also known as Ibogaine) is illegal in the United States and many Western countries. We plan to list Iboga retreats on our website that we highly recommend. For those who wish to purchase the Iboga medicine, we will also offer a list of Iboga providers whom we believe are trustworthy and reliable.
Iboga is discussed in greater detail in A Story of Salvation.
***
We recommend that people only use the tools and methods here that they feel comfortable with. But whether one uses Iboga, Radical Truth, Stacking, Clearing, A Course in Miracles, or just Letting Go, the fact remains that it is now possible to access the unconscious, to quickly remove negative blocks that otherwise might take decades or even multiple lifetimes to overcome. As a result, we now have the ability to achieve the kind of spiritual growth that is nothing short of miraculous.
Ultimately, what this means is that salvation/unconditional love, the ultimate goal of Christianity, is now within the grasp of any who seek it. It is hard to imagine a greater gift.
Additional Questions
Some claim that psychedelic drugs like LSD and Ecstasy can raise one’s consciousness. Is this true and how are these drugs different from Iboga?
While these drugs are similar to Iboga in that they are psychedelics, they can only you allow to experience a higher level of consciousness temporarily. There can be value in briefly experimenting with these psychedelics because experiencing the higher levels can motivate one to pursue a spiritual path.
But those who continually use these drugs are essentially trying to acquire spiritual riches without doing the required spiritual work. The downside, of course, is that this leads to addiction. It would be better to simply do Iboga which is non-addictive and is capable of increasing your level of consciousness on an incredible scale whereas other psychedelics can only give you the illusion of such an increase.
Is it possible for an atheist or agnostic to reach Unconditional Love?
No. Unconditional Love is at 540. The highest that an atheist or agnostic can go is 499 (Reason). The non-linear realm begins at 500. One cannot go there without God.
What does one do after reaching unconditional love?
Unfortunately, the struggle will not be over. Muscle testing reveals that 72% of people who reach the 500s or higher suffer a spiritual fall in which their LOC collapses, often to a level below 200.
There are numerous traps that are likely to ensnare anyone who is not sufficiently aware of the dangers and how to handle them. The biggest one is spiritual pride.
Pride is probably the deadliest of all the negative emotions because it can sneak up on you undetected. You know when you have anger, grief, guilt, or shame, but you often don’t realize when you are in pride.
The 500s are indeed wonderful, but they give you the feeling of specialness. This feeling is a dangerous trap and can eventually lead to a spiritual fall.
To prevent this from happening, you must first understand that reaching a high level of consciousness is not a personal achievement but a gift from God. In fact, every increase in your level of consciousness is a gift from God, and to view it any other way is an error. Focus on what is yet to be learned rather than what you have already learned. This is a powerful shield against pride. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 330)
Gratitude and humility are crucial. Ruthless honesty is also key. Integrity becomes more important than ever. There are many things you can get away with at the lower levels that will burn you badly at the higher levels. At 500 and up, you must hold yourself to the highest standards of integrity. Otherwise, you will fall. This is the price that such a level requires.
Prayer is also extremely valuable. Pray every day and ask the Holy Spirit as well as your spirit guardians (i.e. guardian angels) to help shield you from spiritual pride. When facing an obstacle as difficult as this, there is no reason to attempt to go it alone.
It is probably best to not know your level of consciousness. This can help shield against pride. However, once you reach the 500s, there is a good chance you will know it.
Because of this, we recommend using the Letting Go method once a day to release any spiritual pride you may have. Better to assume it is there and just release it.
Also helpful is to allow your ego to "have a party inside your head." Just imagine the ego doing a dance inside your head and celebrating, and say to it, “Yeah, yeah. Have your fun.” Say “I’m the best” in a fun, playful way. Whenever you have achieved an increase in your level of consciousness or released a major block, this exercise is especially useful.
But there is still yet another potential pitfall. People who reach the higher levels are sometimes approached by demonic entities who try to get them to turn against God. These astrals use the lure of acquiring power for its own sake, and many people have succumbed to this temptation. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 415)
The most famous example of this would be Judas Iscariot. As a disciple of Jesus, his level of consciousness rose to approximately 700 before Satan tempted him. Unfortunately, Judas succumbed to the temptation and invited Satan in. His LOC then fell to 153. After betraying Jesus, it fell to just 8.
One of the best defenses against such temptation is to not want anything. If there is nothing you want, you are not seducible.
To reach the 500s or higher and then fall is one of the most devastating things a human being can experience. There may be no greater tragedy.
Is pride only a concern for those at the higher levels?
Unfortunately, no. Pride is a grave danger to all. It may well be the greatest temptation there is. Why? Because it is an easy, seemingly cost-free way to prop ourselves up. When we look down on others, we suddenly appear to be standing taller. We feel superior, but it is only an illusion because we are looking at ourselves through a distorted perspective.
But make no mistake. Pride is not cost-free. It is often said that pride goeth before a fall.
The Bible reaffirms this:
“for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled” (Luke 18:14)
Pride leads to selfishness. When you believe you are superior to others, you have little qualms about taking what you want. Sacrificing for others is seen as unnecessary and beneath you. This ultimately destroys relationships.
Pride leads to unhappiness. The self-satisfaction we get from pride is ultimately hollow. It is no substitute for true accomplishment. If you live in pride, one day you may wake up to realize you spent your entire life in a delusion with little to show for it.
Pride also is used as a mask to cover up one’s own self-hatred. But it is another form of self-delusion that cannot last forever. When this bubble pops, the fallout will be painful indeed.
Pride also results in poor decisions, especially when it comes to money and investing. The desire to feel special and “be somebody” tempts many to gamble and take unnecessary risks. This almost always leads to disaster.
So how do we avoid pride?
We must go back to Luke 18:14. Earlier, we only gave you the first half of the passage. Here is the entire passage:
“for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
We must be willing to humble ourselves. This means serving God as well as serving others (i.e. spouse, family, strangers). It means doing the lowly things that most people find demeaning. Most importantly, it means always putting God first. These things will prevent us from placing ourselves on a pedestal.
As previously mentioned, doing the Stacking method daily can also help release any pride you may be unconsciously caught up in.
How powerful is prayer?
Praying before a meal increases the energy field of the food by several points. Doctors who pray for their patient tends to get better medical outcomes. (Hawkins lecture, 2005) The tools and methods we have provided here are more effective when accompanied by prayer.
When one prays, the universe does respond, but not necessarily in the way hoped. The mistake many people make is that they pray for a specific outcome and then are disappointed when they don’t get what they asked for.
Prayer should be more of an act of surrender. We can pray for assistance without specifying what form it should take. At the higher levels, prayer is more about how we can serve God and become a channel of His Will. (Hawkins 2001, p. 138)
Don’t these new tools and methods for reaching salvation make Jesus basically irrelevant?
Not at all. Muscle testing reveals that a savior is necessary for anyone who has a level of consciousness below 600. The obstacles on this path are too difficult to overcome otherwise. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 102-103)
Any time you place your faith in the Highest, the Highest becomes available to you. Aligning yourself with Jesus or any other high-level teacher (i.e. Buddha, Krishna) is one the most important things you can do.
Are the other Christian denominations wrong?
Most Christian denominations are on fairly sound footing even if they are only in the 400s (although some are in the 500s). In our view, besides teaching from a flawed Bible, there are two critical mistakes they make. First, they don't emphasize that unconditional love is the core of what Christ taught. Second, they don't teach that unconditional love is the key to salvation.
But the Christians of these denominations are still on a good path; it is simply a path that will likely take them longer to get to their ultimate destination. It is the difference between taking the direct path or the scenic route. Each will ultimately lead to the same destination. Whether it takes a single lifetime or a thousand, it makes little difference in the end. We simply prefer the direct path because we feel there is little point in wasting time.
Is Christianity superior to the other major religions?
No single group has a monopoly on the truth. Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna were the great avatars. Each calibrated at 1000, and each founded one of the world’s great religions, yet there is no conflict in the basic core of their teachings.
Jesus and Buddha did have different goals. The Buddha taught the way to the spiritual state of enlightenment. He had many previous lifetimes before he became enlightened. In contrast, Jesus did not have any previous human lifetimes. He descended from heaven, and his mission was the salvation of mankind. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 103)
It is important to realize that the same path that leads to unconditional love (540) also leads to enlightenment (600). It simply requires one to travel a little farther down the path.
Why didn't Jesus teach the path to enlightenment if it is higher than unconditional love?
Unconditional love is about spiritual purification while enlightenment is about the dissolution of the ego self. A full discussion of enlightenment is beyond the scope of this book, but 600 is merely the first level of enlightenment, and the path becomes ever more challenging as one rises higher. The 800s are horrifically painful (the Buddha testified to this) as a person's energy field becomes so powerful that the physical body feels like it is being fried. Without question, enlightenment is a much more difficult path. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 147, 149)
Unconditional love guarantees the safety of the soul in the afterlife, and thus Jesus believed reaching this spiritual state was good enough (It is also likely that the audience he was speaking to would not have been receptive to a message about enlightenment). For those who wish to pursue the higher levels beyond 600, we recommend doing so in the afterlife where you won't have a physical body that can suffer injury. In our view, attaining salvation is indeed "good enough."
You are saying that Christianity is not the only path to salvation and that a person can also attain salvation through Buddhism and Hinduism. Many Christians will take issue with this because Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father, except through me.” (John 14:6) How do you explain this apparent contradiction?
When Jesus said “except through me” he was referring not just to himself but to any high-level teacher which would also include Buddha and Krishna (tests as true). The confusion is likely due to the nature of the language that Jesus and his disciples spoke. This was Aramaic which did not easily translate into other languages as it used a great deal of exaggeration in its expressions. (Lamsa, Idioms, 1985, pp. 76, 78-79)
One example of this is when Jesus said, “I did not come to deliver peace but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34) This has often been misinterpreted to mean that Jesus endorsed violence, but what he was actually referring to was the sword of truth. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 375)
If Jesus truly meant that he was the only path to God, he likely would have spoken more in-depth about it rather than just offering a single line on the matter. He likely would have mentioned it in the Sermon on the Mount (the culmination of his teachings), yet he did not. What he says is that the one who enters the Kingdom of Heaven is “he who does the will of my Father.” (Matthew 7:21) Are we to believe that someone who does this would be denied heaven simply because they are not a follower of Jesus?
And what about the people who have never heard of Christianity? This would mean they have no path to heaven simply due to their geography. Would a God who is all-loving as Jesus claimed place anyone in such an unfair and impossible position?
Titus 3:5-8 states that salvation cannot be obtained through "works of righteousness", yet you are saying that people can make an active effort to raise their level of consciousness and attain salvation. How can you reconcile this?
"Works of righteousness" refers to doing good deeds, giving to charity and obeying the law. It is correct to say that these will not lead to salvation. These are outer works. We are suggesting that people focus on inner spiritual work, facing the darkness that exists inside them in order to release it. However, every increase in your level of consciousness is not a personal achievement but a gift from God. We each can set the direction, but any progress we make towards the goal must be attributed to God and God alone. Imagine a sailor setting the course, but God pushing the boat.
This is why it is so important to align yourself with a high-level teacher. Without the assistance that a high-level teacher like Jesus provides, attaining salvation will be almost impossible.
Many Christians will believe that what you are teaching about salvation reduces the crucifixion of Jesus to a meaningless sacrifice rather than one that absolves us of all our sins.
We have said that Jesus’s mission was the salvation of mankind, but what exactly did that mean? By providing humanity with a high-level teacher to adopt as a savior, Jesus made salvation possible for the many millions who were not fortunate enough to have heard of Buddha or Krishna. However, salvation is not automatic. We must acknowledge our sins as well as follow his teachings, especially in regards to having unconditional love for all of life, including those who are our enemies. Although it can take many years or even decades, following this path will eventually lead to the spiritual state of unconditional love which will mean that salvation has been attained. The Resurrection was instrumental in proving that death can be conquered, so to suggest that our view of salvation turns the Crucifixion into a meaningless sacrifice is simply wrong.
You have said that anyone with a level of consciousness at 200 or higher will go to heaven, yet salvation is only attained by those who are at 540. Is it really possible to not attain salvation and yet still go to heaven?
Yes. As stated earlier, there are different regions of heaven and hell. A person in the 200s will go to heaven, but it will be one of the lower regions, and they are likely to be reincarnated as a human again at some point as there will probably be more lessons that need to be learned. For those at 540, this is far less likely. Given the amount of pain and suffering that is inherent in the human condition, we should want to avoid being reincarnated again if possible. This is why attaining salvation is so important.
What of the prophecy of the Second Coming?
Most Christians believe the Second Coming will bring the physical return of Jesus Christ. However, we believe a different view is warranted.
Until relatively recently, the level of consciousness (LOC) of mankind was in the negative range. But in the late 1980s, it jumped from 190 to 207 for the very first time in human history. The significance of this event cannot be overstated.
When the LOC of mankind was below 200, wars were much more common and total nuclear destruction of the planet was likely. But now the LOC of mankind is in the positive range and, as a result, the world is a much different place. It is a whole new era in which the influence of falsehood is seriously weakened, and truth is in a stronger position to prevail. As long as this holds, a bright future for mankind is assured. Therefore, we can be optimistic about what lies ahead.
Muscle testing confirms that we can accurately describe this new level of consciousness as Christ Consciousness. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 283) It is indeed the Second Coming of Christ. He has returned, just not in physical form. Let us rejoice!
What are some of the false religions?
There are quite a few of them. Many do not present themselves as religions, yet they essentially are, for they usually have the rigid dogma and zealotry often associated with religion. But they are all inherently shallow, both spiritually and intellectually:
Humanism - 156
Socialism - 164
Environmentalism - 192
Feminism - 195
Mindfulness - 196
Transgenderism - 111
Sex as religion - 192
Technology as religion - 194
Humanism is about believing in mankind. In only mankind. Humanists place their faith in man rather than in God. An example of this would be the worshipping of political figures as if they are some kind of messiah who will lead humanity to a new golden age.
But no man can play God. All these would-be messiahs inevitably disappoint in the end. And when this happens? Humanists simply move on to the next messiah. They never learn.
Humanism has led to many disastrous policy mistakes. Because they believe that humanity, not God, is the answer to humanity’s challenges, humanists often take up endeavors that have no chance of succeeding. They simply lack the humility to recognize their own limitations. So they try to eliminate poverty, create universal health care, and reform every institution, yet their solutions often not only fail to solve the underlying problems but wind up making them worse. They can never admit that many of our problems may not have a solution, or at least not one that they are capable of implementing. They can never accept that it might be wiser to stop trying to fix everything and instead surrender the problems of the world to God.
Socialism has been one of the greatest disasters of the last century. It pushes for a classless society in which everyone is equal, but in reality, no one truly wants this. Our divine purpose is to grow and evolve, yet socialism stifles this by placing limits on what one can achieve. It promises an easy life without struggle, but this, even if it were possible, cannot alone bring happiness and fulfillment. As we’ve said, self-esteem only comes from accomplishment, and this is something that socialism actively discourages.
The biggest flaw of socialism is that it is human nature for people to not want to work hard. And if a basic income is guaranteed, if there is no reward for excellence, then people simply won’t make the effort. Socialism simply fails to provide the incentives required for any society to prosper and succeed. It has always resulted in poverty and misery wherever it has been tried.
Why are so many socialists in denial of this despite the clear historical record? Because everyone wants to believe that heaven is possible. However, socialists reject God and refuse to believe in the religious version of heaven. Therefore, their only alternative is to believe that heaven can be created on Earth. As a result, these people will forever cling to socialism. For them, it is their only hope of salvation.
Environmentalism is another religion. While there is nothing wrong with laws that prevent pollution, environmentalists have taken this to ridiculous extremes, seeking to impose bans on fossil fuels and other energy sources that will only make society poorer and more vulnerable. Their mistake is that they believe the environment is God and that God can somehow be harmed.
To be fair, not all these people are zealots in the religious sense. Some are merely opportunists who are using the specter of environmental disaster to frighten people into embracing a political agenda that they would otherwise never accept. It is worth noting that environmentalists usually reject any free-market solutions to our environmental concerns. Instead, they insist on bigger government, higher taxes, and more centralized control over our lives. A strong argument can be made that environmentalism is merely socialism in disguise. The only difference is that it is being proposed for the sake of Mother Earth rather than the proletariat. Environmentalism is proof that bad ideas never die. They just get repackaged.
Man-caused global warming tests as false. Man-caused climate change also tests as false. Human activity actually has very little effect on the planet’s temperature or weather. But let’s assume for a moment that we are wrong. Let’s assume that the planet will get considerably warmer and that the oceans will rise higher. To say that these things should not happen is to suggest that you know better than God. Do you really think you know better than God?
The point is that we cannot know what is karmically in the highest good. Perhaps it might be better to simply surrender the fate of the world to God. Perhaps it might be better to allow the world to fulfill its karmic destiny without judgment.
Modern-day feminism has become a religion in the sense that it worships the feminine as God. Women are hailed as saviors who can bring salvation to mankind. Feminism props up women while simultaneously tearing down men. It incongruently argues that women are so strong and powerful and superior to men while also claiming that women need help because men are oppressing them and holding them back. Feminists claim to want equality, but what they really desire is supremacy.
The masculine and the feminine naturally complement one another; there is no reason for them to be in opposition. While it is true that men in the past were too powerful in that women were treated as property and had little or no rights, what we have seen recently is a reversal in which the balance of power has swung too far to the opposite extreme.
Men today find themselves increasingly under attack in the media, disadvantaged in divorce court, and automatically assumed guilty when accused of sexual harassment or assault. As a result, men have been in decline and are retreating from society. This is disastrous not just for men but for women as well. A proper balance between men and women needs to be restored.
Mindfulness is a kind of faux spirituality. It is about meditation and other spiritual practices. The problem with mindfulness is that it ultimately leads nowhere. Turning off your thoughts to stay centered can be beneficial, but the method itself is rather empty. It would be the equivalent of suggesting that the various tools and methods we have presented here are the only things you will ever need in life and so you don’t need God. These are indeed powerful tools, but they are merely tools. They are no substitute for God.
Transgenderism may be the most bizarre of all of these religions, although it might be better to describe it as a cult due to the way it entraps its members. (Riley, 2020) It seems to be an attempt to replace God with gender identity. It is founded on the belief that some people are born into the wrong body.
Of course, the idea that God, who created the heavens and the universe with such delicate perfection, could be capable of making such an error is simply absurd. However, it is unlikely that these people believe in God. Statistics show that most teens who fall into this trap are from families that are politically progressive which usually means they lack a strong religious upbringing. (Shrier, 2020, p 90)
We have said that you are never in pain for the reason you think you are. So if you believe your body is the reason for your mental anguish, we recommend using the tools and methods described in this book as they are far more likely to help you than any life-altering surgeries or medical treatments.
Sex is also a religion. Our popular culture worships sex as if it were higher than God. But it worships the kind of sex that is impersonal, not intimate. Sex can be greatly fulfilling in a long-term monogamous relationship, but it can also be destructive when it is casual and among multiple partners. It is also destructive when it takes the form of pornography. While sex should not be seen as bad or shameful, by placing it on an altar we have gone to the opposite extreme.
Finally, technology has also become a religion for many. The members of this religion could be called technologists. They tend to be engineering types. They romanticize technology, believing it is capable of driving human behavior. They always think that some new technology is going to transform society and perhaps create a golden age for all mankind.
Alas, society is rarely ever transformed. And even when it is, the predictions of a golden age never come true. But these people still jump on every technological bandwagon that comes along. And every time one fails, they never lose faith. They just jump on the next one.
Without question, the technological advances of the past century have been very impressive, and they have made our lives easier in many ways. But while technology has certainly reduced much of the pain of the human condition, it cannot wholly eliminate it. It cannot fulfill the needs of the soul. It can never be more than a little tin god.
The above examples should make it clear that we all need religion. We all need something to believe in that is greater than ourselves. And yet the ego mind will still go to ridiculous lengths to deny the existence of God. Why? Because the ego secretly hates God and does not want to acknowledge His sovereignty. This is why the Buddha in his teachings did not even mention God due to God being such an emotional issue for most people. It may have been a wise move considering that Buddhism does not get attacked nearly as much as Christianity does.
As you can see, there are many religions in this world. More than it may seem at first glance. But we need to be able to recognize the false ones because they will take us down the wrong road. At best, it will be a waste of time. At worst, it will lead to disaster as well as serious karmic consequences.
The good news is that Christianity will bring you a greater sense of peace, security, and happiness than you could ever possibly find in any of the false religions mentioned above.
How do you respond to those who say that Christianity is tyrannical and that it prevents us from doing what will make us happy?
Those who say Christianity is tyrannical need a history lesson. Many of the basic individual rights and freedoms that people in the West enjoy today are largely due to the influence of Christianity. The early Christians helped put an end to many abhorrent practices such as incest, sexual abuse of children, polygamy, infanticide, and human sacrifice. The notion that “all men are created equal” came from Christian thought and philosophy.
Before the rise of the modern welfare state, the church provided much-needed services for the poor such as food, health care, and schooling. Christian churches have established schools, universities, hospitals, soup kitchens, and orphanages. Without question, the contributions of Christianity to society have been enormous.
What critics of Christianity usually do is point to some historical examples in which the Christian church did something wrong as a way to tarnish the entire religion. They will mention the Inquisition or the sexual abuse scandals of the Catholic Church. But when Christian institutions fail to live up to the standards of the religion, that is due to the fallibility of the people inside those institutions, not the religion itself. The core teaching of Christianity is about having unconditional love for all life. Are the secularists really suggesting that a religion that teaches this should be invalidated simply because not all Christians live up to it?
But if we are going to keep a scorecard on brutality, it needs to be said that the worst killers in history have been atheists (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot). The worst examples of religious brutality do not hold a candle to the death tolls that these mass murderers have accumulated.
And as for how Christianity supposedly limits you, consider that every car needs a road to get to its destination. If it tries to travel off the road, it is going to encounter rough terrain and will likely crash. Think of Christianity as a road that will take you safely through life. Yes, you will be required to follow rules, some of which may feel constraining. But these rules are meant to protect you. As human beings, we are all extremely vulnerable. One single wrong decision could potentially destroy any of us. And due to the Wild West nature of the internet, there are now more potential pitfalls than ever before.
The good news is that as you pursue unconditional love and your level of consciousness begins to rise, happiness will become more and more automatic. It won’t be based on outside circumstances that you cannot control. Far from constraining, this path will ultimately bring the greatest joy and freedom you can imagine.
False religions always promise you freedom, but when you ignore God’s laws what you inevitably get is enslavement.
How do we deal with evil? Should we even use such a label?
Truth leads to freedom and peace. Falsehood leads to conflict and destruction. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 286, 322) Therefore, it is correct to say that anything aligned with truth (200 or higher on the Map of Consciousness) is “good” while anything aligned with falsehood (below 200) is “bad.”
When it comes to people who are below 200, it is usually best to simply avoid them as they will eventually bring themselves down by their own hand. Unfortunately, there will always be some individuals who pose too great a threat to be ignored (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, bin Laden).
However, it is better to view people who are below 200 as flawed or misguided rather than evil. But there are still things for which the label of “evil” can be appropriate (i.e. pornography).
Being judgmental has become highly unfashionable in our society. Whenever there is a discussion concerning morality, the first thing that people will usually say is: “I believe people should be able to do whatever they want.”
No one wants to condemn negative behaviors anymore for fear of coming off as intolerant or prudish, but the result of this is that the guardrails (i.e. societal norms) that have traditionally kept people from going off-course and crashing have largely disappeared.
And societal norms do more to make people adhere to integrity than any law possibly can. Reestablishing these norms will require people to start making judgments.
But doesn’t the Bible tell us to judge not?
Indeed it does (Matthew 7:1). But what this means is that you judge not the individual but the action. We must remember that everyone seeks to do good, but most simply lack the discernment to know what the good is. We should show compassion, mercy, and forgiveness towards these individuals. But this does not mean we must tolerate behaviors that are below 200. We have every right to condemn them.
Jesus demonstrated this when he saved the adulteress from being stoned to death. He showed her mercy, but afterward, he did not tell her it was okay to continue doing what she was doing. He told her to “sin no more.” (John 8:11)
Doing this probably won’t make you popular. You may lose friends. But in the end, you will ultimately be better off surrounding yourself with integrous people. Quality is much more important than quantity.
The bottom line is that integrity matters. If you simply agree with an action that is below 200 (i.e. supporting an act of violence), you take on the same concordant karmic responsibility as if you had committed the act yourself. This is why it is crucial to be aligned with truth. Because you may suffer terrible consequences if you are not.
What does muscle testing reveal to us about death?
Life and death are not opposites. Death is not the end of life but merely a transition.
The time of our deaths is actually preset at birth but not in terms of a specific date. It occurs after we have fulfilled our life purpose. This is why so many people tend to die not long after they retire.
Thankfully, death itself is not painful as we do not experience our deaths. After we die, we quickly lose all our memories of this lifetime. It is only the ego, our sense of a personal separate self, that dies. So what ultimately matters is not what we experience in this lifetime but how much we have grown. In other words, what ultimately matters at the end of our lives is our level of consciousness.
Finally, it is best to wait three days before burying someone because that is how long it takes for the spirit to become fully detached from the body. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 230)
Are guardian angels real?
Yes. Every person below 200 has one guardian angel. When you reach 200, you receive a second. As you go higher, you receive additional ones. A person at 540 has four guardian angels. Praying to them for guidance can be extremely beneficial.
How can one deal with depression?
Depression is usually the result of the inability to handle fear. There is something that you are afraid of, and that fear is causing you to feel depressed. The solution is to get a handle on the fear. First, you must figure out what it is you are afraid of. The easiest way to do this is to think of the worst-case scenario that you can imagine: You are old, you are alone, you are poor, etc.
Whatever the scenario is, you need to stop resisting it. Surrender to it. Decide that if it were to happen, you would be okay. This will require courage because it forces you to face your fear. But once you do this, the feeling of depression should disappear as quickly as if you had flipped a switch.
The other major cause of depression is eating foods with too much sugar. If you have a high-sugar diet, simply eliminate the sugar and within two weeks you should feel a lot better. (Hawkins, 2009, pp. 368-393)
For more extreme cases, doing Iboga can also be of great value.
Is there anything else you can offer to all the people out there who are in despair?
For older people who find themselves experiencing deep regrets over what they failed to accomplish or missed out on and for younger people who are fearful that they may never achieve their goals and dreams, we would argue that this despair is rooted in selfishness. It is the result of being too focused on what you want rather than what God wants. When you are focused on what God wants, you realize that worldly goals are not nearly so important. As we’ve previously stated, what ultimately matters is who you become, not what you experience or what happens to you. Learn to focus on what God wants rather than what you want, and all the anguish you feel will disappear.
But what about painful situations that are beyond our control?
The way to deal with them is by acceptance and non-resistance.
Resistance is the root cause of suffering. Suffering is not possible if you do not resist. It then becomes possible to enjoy any circumstance of life, even poverty.
Always remember that everything that happens in this world is only temporary. It is what awaits us in the next world that really counts.
What about homosexuality?
Homosexuality calibrates at 196. The low calibration is due to several reasons. One is that homosexual couples do not contribute to the birthrate which is crucial for every society to ultimately survive and thrive.
Also, many homosexuals have been sexually molested in their youth. Sexually abused young males are “up to 7 times more likely to self-identify as gay or bi-sexual than peers who had not been abused,” said a peer-reviewed 1998 study, “Sexual Abuse of Boys,” by William C. Holmes, M.D. and Gail B. Slap, M.D. This study calibrates at 499.
Our society has largely been sold on the notion that “gays” are born the way they are, and that they have no choice in the matter, but this study indicates otherwise (Also see the multitude of videos that exist on YouTube by former homosexuals who have left this lifestyle). Muscle testing reveals that a stunning 93% of homosexuals have been sexually molested. So it would seem that most homosexuals are the product of sexual abuse (tests as true). The American Psychiatric Association used to consider homosexuality a mental disorder. Their position was at 494. They reversed it in 1973, not because of any new scientific evidence, but due to political pressure. Their current position is at 199. (First Baptist Church, 2010)
The kind of lifestyle that homosexuals lead is alarming. A 1978 study by Alan P. Bell and Martin S. Wineburg reported that 43% of homosexuals had more than five hundred sexual partners over the course of their lifetime. This study calibrates at 494. Also, gay men engage in sodomy which is extremely dangerous and calibrates at only 162. Sodomy is the reason why so many gay men contract AIDS, Monkeypox and other diseases. By no measure can such a lifestyle be considered healthy. It is self-destructive.
Lesbian relationships are not nearly as dangerous, but studies still show them to be highly unstable with high break-up rates. (CBS article, 2016) And we cannot ignore the permissive culture that has been built around homosexuality. It is based on lust and pornography (Glatze, 2007). It is a culture that rejects monogamy and puts an emphasis on casual hook-ups. This makes it largely incompatible with the institution of marriage which is rooted in monogamy. And the low marriage rates among homosexuals in the U.S. (around ten percent) indicate that their push for gay marriage was less about wanting to marry and more about winning social acceptance of their lifestyle. (Jones, 2021)
Perhaps the biggest challenge with homosexual relationships is that our bodies are simply not designed for them. We are designed for opposite-sex relationships, not same-sex ones. And whenever you try to perform a task with a tool that was not designed for that task, you are inevitably going to run into difficulties.
To be clear, we do not believe these people are evil, and we are not suggesting that homosexuality should be banned or outlawed. We are simply saying it should not be encouraged or enabled. Many of these people know there is something deeply wrong with themselves and desperately wish to be normal, yet they cannot get help due to the political forces that have made such services taboo. They have been essentially thrown under the bus and left to suffer.
But we now have good news. Muscle testing reveals that homosexuality can be transcended with the use of the Letting Go method as well as Iboga.
We realize that taking this position will likely subject us to ferocious attack. We will no doubt be accused of spreading “hate.” But there is nothing hateful about telling someone to avoid self-destructive behavior.
Most Christian churches have largely surrendered on this issue, but we will not. We will stand our ground. For there is no substitute for truth, no matter how uncomfortable that truth may be.
Why should anyone read the Bible today?
The Bible offers a unique perspective and worldview that one rarely gets from today’s secular media. For new readers, we recommend beginning with Psalms, as the religious faith and zeal demonstrated in its passages is quite impressive. The secular media has long promoted the idea that such strong religiosity is crazy and dangerous, yet consider that there are many secular religions (humanism, socialism, environmentalism) whose followers display zealotry that is just as intense.
We suggest going through the different Psalms and choosing a few that you can return to and review daily. Here are the ones we highly recommend: 18, 23, 62, 91, 116, 119, 136, 139, 145, 147, and 148.
Overall, it is beneficial to read the Bible in its entirety, for it is a good reminder that, no matter how much human life has changed over the centuries, human nature has not. We still face many of the same challenges today (greed, hatred, envy, pride) that we did two thousand years ago. Therefore, the stories and teachings of the past still have great value.
What about the story of Adam and Eve? Is it literally true?
The story of Adam and Eve (the fall of man) is about the pain and suffering that results from disobeying God. Because of their innate innocence (which is shared by all mankind), Adam and Eve lack the ability to discern truth from falsehood. Thus they give in to the temptation of curiosity and bite into the forbidden apple. Their expulsion from the Garden of Eden represents the loss of the perfect state of oneness and a fall to a lower level of consciousness in which suffering now becomes possible. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 391-392)
The story is allegorical and calibrates at 60. While there is wisdom in the lesson about the importance of obeying God and the insight offered about man’s flawed nature, the downside is that it contributed to Christianity’s emphasis on guilt and sin. (Hawkins, 2005, p. 335)
What about creationism vs. evolution? Which one is correct?
There is no difference between the two. Evolution is ongoing creation, and Creationism is ongoing evolution. They are both one and the same. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 119)
The conflict between the two theories stems from the debate about the historical accuracy of the book of Genesis. The truth is that God created the Heavens and the Earth. Whether He did so in seven days or over the course of millions of years is really beside the point.
What about the Ten Commandments?
The Ten Commandments are each individually over 200, but collectively they calibrate at only 199. So why the contradiction?
The problem with the Ten Commandments is that they are rooted in fear. They mostly emphasize what not to do out of fear of incurring God’s wrath. The God of the book of Exodus is clearly a jealous god who is willing to destroy those who disobey him. He even instructs that people should be put to death for committing certain acts.
Also problematic is that God deems the Israelites to be his chosen people. But God would never choose one group of people over another. His love extends to all.
The Sermon on the Mount is a far superior guide for living and for how to best serve God. Its teachings calibrate at 1000.
Muscle testing confirms that Moses was an actual historical figure, but the historical accuracy of Exodus is only at 154. While some of the story is no doubt true, we don’t believe it is in the highest good to include Exodus here or to attempt to salvage the text.
What is the correct way to view Islam?
Islam was founded by the prophet Mohammed. He calibrated at 700 in 610 A.D. when he wrote the Koran (also at 700). Only a few years later, in what must be considered one of history’s greatest tragedies, Mohammed suffered a spiritual fall in which his level of consciousness dropped to 130. He then took up the sword and embraced violence. This is where radical Islam has its roots.
There are different sects of Islam. The highest is Sufism which calibrates at 700. The lowest is Wahhabism which is at 30.
Wahhabism is the underlying belief system of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, HAMAS, and other Islamic terrorist groups. They reject the Koran and have declared war on ninety percent of mankind. They not only embrace death but worship it. Their goal is to establish a world theocracy in which everyone must convert to Islam or be put to the sword. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 344-348) This puts them in direct conflict with Western civilization in which religious and individual freedom are fundamental tenets.
To pretend, as many have, that these groups do not represent Islam is not only foolish but dangerous. We can condemn radical Islam without condemning all of Islam. There are no easy solutions to this problem, but it is clear that no accommodation or appeasement will be possible.
What is God’s plan for us?
God wants us to grow and evolve and to attain salvation (540 on the Map of Consciousness):
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
But this spiritual goal should not prevent us from living in the world and fully participating in it. For God also wants us to marry and reproduce:
God said to them (male and female), "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28)
Following God’s plan will not be easy. There will at times be hardship, pain, and suffering. There will be sacrifices required. We will often have to forgo short-term pleasure in order to achieve long-term gains.
We are not required to do this. We have the freedom to reject this path if we choose to. But this rejection will ultimately cost us dearly. However, if we follow God’s plan, the amount of joy, happiness, growth, and fulfillment that becomes possible is well beyond our wildest imagination.
In the end, it all boils down to one question:
Are you willing to serve God?
For most people, the answer is no. Most people are only interested in serving themselves. But to serve God? There is no greater honor.
“To Thee, O Lord, I give my life.”
This is the ultimate you can say.
What is God's order for marriage?
Traditionally, the hierarchy in a marriage places God first, the husband second as the head of the household, and the wife subservient to the husband. This calibrates at 504.
Why must the wife be subservient? Because if there is a disagreement on a course of action, someone has to be able to break a tie vote. Otherwise, there is no path forward. Besides, it is in a woman’s nature to want her husband to be the leader in the marriage. When this job falls to her, she is rarely happy.
That the wife should be subservient will sound demeaning to many, but it is important to realize that the husband also serves his wife, just in a different way. And we are not suggesting that the wife should be the husband’s property or his slave. She obeys him but does so willingly out of respect and love.
Today it is commonly believed that husband and wife should be equals. This sounds good in theory. After all, what could be wrong with equality? The Bible provides us with the answer. In regards to marriage:
And the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one. (Mark 10:8)
Two become one. Husband and wife are enjoined. If we can begin to see husband and wife as one entity rather than two separate individuals, complementing each other and working in tandem, each bringing different things to the table, then the issue of equality becomes moot.
The man provides the masculine, the woman the feminine. The masculine provides strength, direction, and intellect and earns wealth. The feminine provides compassion, caring, and nurturing and bears children.
Our obsession with “equality” has caused us to treat the masculine and feminine roles as if they are, for the most part, interchangeable. We have prodded men to take on feminine roles and women to take on masculine ones. We have hailed this as if it is great progress. And yet people are increasingly unhappy.
For example, today the husband no longer has the decision-making authority in the marriage that he once did. This makes him feel emasculated, and his wife finds him less attractive. The same thing usually occurs when the wife works and brings in considerable money to the relationship.
Marriage based on equality calibrates at only 234. Equality has not strengthened marriage. It has weakened it. The answer? We must allow men and women to once again fulfill the roles that God designed them for. Let men be masculine and women be feminine. A husband and wife cannot happily exist as one in any other manner.
Is it true that money is the root of all evil?
Money calibrates at 200, so the answer is no. In regards to the above phrase, the Bible has been misquoted.
Here is what the Bible actually says:
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10)
It is not money but the love of money that is the danger. So while not inherently evil, money does have the potential to corrupt, and many people do indeed succumb to this temptation.
The way to avoid this is by non-attachment. When Jesus said it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, he was referring to those who are attached to money.
Non-attachment simply means that you do not believe you need money. You do not make it your God. You do not make it your master. You are okay with having it, even having lots of it, but you are also okay to do without it if necessary.
How do you develop such an attitude? By having faith and trusting that God will provide you with whatever you need to survive:
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6: 31-33)
The last line of this passage is clear: God must always come first. Placing money ahead of God will likely end in disaster.
Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Does this mean that war can never be justified?
What Jesus said has often been taken out of context. He was referring to how to react to rebukes that occur in everyday life. However, if someone is trying to invade and destroy your country, he would no doubt call for defending it. One of the great paradoxes of life is that sometimes going to war is the only way to ensure peace.
Pre-emptive war calibrates at 496. This is the idea that you take military action against a threat while it is relatively small before it becomes powerful enough to defeat you. If England and France would have taken up arms against Nazi Germany when it first began its territorial aggression, they could have ended the threat with minimal effort. But because they chose appeasement, the end result was tens of millions dead in the most terrible war in human history.
It should be understood that war actually represents a great karmic opportunity for the participants involved. This is not to say that we should desire war, but the idea that war must always be avoided at any and all cost is simply false. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 396)
Should abortion be legal?
Abortion (overall) - 191
Abortion in the first two months of pregnancy - 203
Abortion in the third month of pregnancy - 150
Late-term abortion (from fourth month) - 42
Late-term abortion is murder? True.
Note the extremely low calibration of late-term abortion. Without question, this is murder.
Muscle testing reveals that the spirit enters the womb in the third month of pregnancy. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 268-269) With this knowledge, we believe abortion can be allowed in the first two months of pregnancy, but to allow it beyond this period is unconscionable.
To be clear, this is merely a toleration of abortion, not an endorsement. We believe legalized abortion has had serious negative consequences for society. It has contributed to the collapse of marriage, an unhealthy sexualized society, and falling birth rates that are below replacement level, all of which will likely lead to huge crises at some point in the future.
It is significant that abortion in the first two months is above 200 but only just barely. We believe this is due to the reasons mentioned above plus the reality that getting an abortion makes having a future miscarriage more likely. Therefore, abortion in the first two months of pregnancy can be tolerated, but it should never be encouraged or celebrated.
Of course, many Christians will disagree with us, and we want to make it clear that we respect the position of those who think abortion should be illegal at any stage of pregnancy. However, we don’t think this will be politically possible anytime in the near future.
Therefore, we believe allowing abortion in the first eight weeks is a sensible compromise that accomplishes the goal of protecting life yet still can appeal to those who support abortion restrictions but not banning it outright.
Is it wrong to eat animals? Can we morally justify the killing of animals in slaughterhouses?
To answer these questions we must go back to Genesis 1:28:
God said to them (male and female), "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Note that this passage doesn’t say that animals are equal to man. It says that man should have dominion over them. But are we morally justified in killing and eating animals for our own benefit? Actually, yes.
We have said that being born into this world is a great karmic opportunity. This isn’t just true for humans; it is also true for animals as well.
In this world, one level of life is often sacrificed to benefit another level. This is often necessary for the latter’s survival. It isn’t immoral. The level of life that is sacrificed acquires good karma as a result.
For example, there are environmentalists who want to prevent cattle from being slaughtered. But that is their purpose for being here. By “saving” them, you would be robbing them of a great karmic opportunity.
This is another reason why we must start to view things from a higher level. Once this happens, we can finally recognize the foolishness of trying to save this or fix that.
The world is perfect as it is. Only when we realize this will we finally know peace.
How accurate is your muscle testing?
No one’s muscle testing is infallible, but any inaccuracies in this book are likely inconsequential. The most important thing is to get the “under 200/over 200” correct, and we are confident this has been accomplished.
What is the calibration of the Holy Christian Bible?
We do not believe it is in the highest good to reveal this. However, we will say that the Lamsa Bible calibrates at 810 (up from 495) when all the negative books are removed. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 63)
Where did you get the text for the Old and New Testament that is used here?
The text used is from the World English Bible which is in the public domain.
Have you altered any of the books?
Yes, we have made edits and alterations. The Lamsa Bible and the New American Standard Bible have been used for reference. Some mistranslations have been corrected (i.e. Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34 in which Jesus on the cross says “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Edits have also been made for purposes of clarity, (i.e. “Yahweh” has been changed to “God” or “The LORD”), personal preference (John the Baptizer has been changed to John the Baptist) or to simply increase the level of truth of the text.
The Lord's prayer in Matthew and Luke has been changed to a modern version that contains the extra line: "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever."
There have also been substantial edits to Psalms and Proverbs.
For Psalms, we have removed Psalms 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 21, 22, 44, 50, 52, 53, 58, 60, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 83, 85, 88, 89, 90, 94, 97, 105, 106, 110, and 137. All of these are inherently negative and almost all are below 200.
In addition, the following Psalms have verses removed:
18 (verses 7-15, 37-38, 40-45, 47, and 50 removed)
27 (verse 9 removed)
69 (verses 17-28 removed)
102 (verse 10 removed)
109 (verses 6-20 removed)
119 (verse 120 removed)
135 (verses 8-12 removed)
136 (verses 10-11 and 13-22 removed)
139 (verses 19-22 removed)
140 (verses 8-11 removed)
143 (verse 12 removed)
Psalms 15, 18, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 40, 55, 56, 61, 67, 86, 96, 102, 103, 111, 112, 115, 118, 119, 128, 130, 135, 145, and 147 have also been edited. Most of these contain lines about having a fear of God. We have changed them so they are about having a love of God. These changes will seem extreme at first glance, but even C.S. Lewis recognized that some of the Psalms were problematic and described them as “terrible.” (Lewis, pp. 23-24, 37)
Regarding Proverbs, chapters 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, and 31 say that one should fear God. We have changed all these to say that one should have a love of God. For most of these, we have simply changed “fear of the LORD” to “love of the LORD.”
We have also made edits to the New Testament regarding verses that refer to the “wrath of God” and the need to fear God:
John 3:36
Romans 1:18, 2:5-8, 5:9, 12:19, 13:4-5
Ephesians 5:6
Colossians 3:6
We have not changed every single verse that mentions fearing God. However, we believe the command to “fear God” can be correctly interpreted as to have a respect and reverence for God, not to be terrified of Him.
***
We realize we will receive much criticism for making these edits. Many will say the words of the Bible are sacred and therefore should be left alone. To this, we respond that anything below 200 is not sacred, and the Bible unfortunately contains a great deal of material that is below 200.
But most of the changes we have made fall into the realm of common sense. Does anyone really believe that changing “fear of the LORD” to “love of the LORD” is a change for the worse? Does anyone really believe that no longer describing God as angry, vengeful, and unforgiving will change Christianity for the worse?
In conclusion, we hope people will realize that none of the changes we have made compromise any of the actual teachings of Jesus. What we have done is remove everything that contradicts those teachings. As a result, we finally have a bible that is truly congruent. If Christianity is to ever experience a revival, if it is to ever live up to its full potential, it needs to be congruent. It needs to be at the highest level of truth possible. And muscle testing provides a fairly reliable compass to make this a reality.
With this new bible, we have both restored Christianity and evolved it at the same time. A new era for Christianity has begun.
Recommendations
Movies
The Big Blue (1988) - With an energy level of 700 (universal truth), this film has the highest calibration of any movie ever made, and viewing it can raise a person’s level of consciousness. The manager of one theater that showed the film reported that some viewers were crying with joy after seeing it. (Hawkins, 1995, p. 173) However, only the U.S. version of the film calibrates at 700. The director’s cut has an inferior music score and only calibrates at 343.
Forrest Gump (1995) - Although it may not calibrate as high as The Big Blue, its energy level of 540 (unconditional love) still makes it a rare and remarkable film. Its simple yet overlooked message is one of non-resistance, that you can achieve amazing things by simply going in whatever direction that life prods you. Most films push the idea of resisting God and society, of going your own way. Forrest Gump is about simply trusting God and going down the path that is laid before you.
Books
We highly recommend the spiritual books of Dr. David R. Hawkins. These include:
Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing Is Hidden
I: Reality and Subjectivity
Transcending the Levels of Consciousness
Truth vs. Falsehood: How To Tell The Difference
Hawkins taught how to reach enlightenment, but he also offered a great deal of valuable information for those who seek unconditional love as well. His books all calibrate extremely high; some are in the 900s.
Hawkins was a pioneer of kinesiology and muscle testing. We want to acknowledge that he was the first to identify the negative books of the Bible and recommend removing them, and his work and research provided much of the foundation that Holy Christianity rests upon. For this, we are forever grateful.
Killing Jesus - This is a history book that details the brutal struggle that was going on in Palestine during the era in which Jesus lived. Because the primary purpose of the Gospels is to reveal the teachings of Christ, they don’t describe the background in which these events take place. Killing Jesus fills in a lot of these gaps. It calibrates at 452.
The Political Teachings of Jesus - This book explores how the teachings of Jesus have come to define much of today’s modern world, and how they have shaped both our government and institutions. The book also does a wonderful job explaining the various parables that Jesus taught. It calibrates at 409.
The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection - This book is the story of Michael Singer who managed to live an amazing life by simply allowing life to be in charge. He simply went in whatever direction that life prodded him, without resistance. In the process, he became incredibly successful in business and also achieved enormous spiritual growth as well. This is a story that will leave you in awe. The book calibrates at 643.
The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom - This 2005 book may be somewhat dated, but it still offers a revealing look into homosexuality, abortion, the collapse of marriage, the decline of public education and other culture war issues. It does a thorough job exposing the many wolves in sheep’s clothing that threaten every society. The book calibrates at 499.
A Patriot’s History of the United States - This is quite simply one of the best history books about America ever written. It doesn’t whitewash America’s flaws, but it does present them in their proper context. It makes an outstanding case for America’s greatness. This is a book that should be used in every school classroom. It calibrates at 495.
With muscle testing, we can discover the level of power of each of the world’s great religions:
Christianity - 498 (Hawkins, 1995, p. 272)
Buddhism - 866
Hinduism - 843
In regards to Christianity, we arrive at the calibration of 498 by testing the following:
Christianity calibrates over 200? (Y/N)
Over 300? (Y/N)
Over 400? (Y/N)
And so on. You keep going until you get the exact number.
Note that Christianity calibrates much lower than Buddhism and Hinduism. This is cause for concern.
When we test the energy field or calibration of a person, we refer to it as a person’s level of consciousness (LOC). This is essentially a measurement of how spiritually advanced a person is. It is also a way to determine if they have integrity or not.
Here are the LOCs of various religious/biblical figures:
Moses - 910
Abraham - 850
Pontius Pilate - 124
King Herod - 95
The Virgin Mary - 616
St. Paul (Saul of Tarsus) - 745
John the Baptist - 930
The Twelve Apostles - 980
Buddha - 1000
Krishna - 1000
Jesus - 1000
(Hawkins, 2005, p. 384)
People who do not have integrity will have a LOC below 200. This accounts for the low calibrations of King Herod and Pontius Pilate.
As of this writing, 85 percent of the world’s population has a LOC below 200. Very few ever reach the higher levels such as the 500s (Love) or enlightenment which begins at 600. Full enlightenment is at 1000, the highest level that a human being can attain. Only the great avatars have ever reached 1000.
Here are some more testing examples:
King James Bible - 475
Lamsa Bible - 495
Koran - 700
Nicene Creed - 895
Trinity (concept) - 945
The Lord’s Prayer - 650
Genesis (Lamsa Bible) - 660
Gospel of Luke - 699
Christian Communion - 700
Amazing Grace - 575
Joy To The World - 575
Silent Night - 575
The Passion of the Christ (film, edited version) - 395
Killing Jesus (book) - 452
Archangels - 50,000+
God - Infinity
Prayer increases healing? True.
Jesus’ thirty-three miracles? True.
Jesus fed the thousands? True.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married? False.
(Hawkins, 2005, p. 98, 108, 366-367, 382, 383, 386-387)
Note that both the King James Bible and the Lamsa Bible have a significantly lower calibration than the Koran, yet the Nicene Creed (which states the basic tenets of Christianity) calibrates extremely high.
Overall, these test results indicate that Christianity has some serious problems in its current form. The truth of its original teachings has been compromised.
This is why we believe it is time for a new Christianity. A restored Christianity. A Christianity that is truly holy.
It is time for Holy Christianity.
What is currently wrong with Christianity?
Research indicates that Christianity originally calibrated at 1000 in terms of its level of truth, and the religion held up fairly well over its first three centuries. It was at 840 prior to the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. But afterwards it suffered a serious drop as a result of errors made by the Council in interpreting the teachings, eventually falling to 485. Today, as of this writing, Christianity is at 498.
This decline was mostly due to the inclusion in the Bible of a large number of books that are negative overall and calibrate below 200. Almost all these books tell of a jealous, vengeful, unforgiving God which is in direct contradiction with Christ’s teachings of a God who is all-merciful and all-loving. Whereas early Christianity focused on unconditional love, these books put an emphasis on guilt and sin.
To drop from 1000 to 498 is a tremendous loss of power, and it is undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies in the history of Western civilization. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 334-335)
But there is no reason why Christianity should forever be bound to the mistakes of the past. With muscle testing, we are able to confirm that correcting these errors is not only in the highest good but in alignment with the will of God.

Revelation
As shown above, we have removed Revelation from the New Testament and all the books of the Old Testament except Genesis, Psalms, and Proverbs. All the discarded books calibrate below 200. The vast majority of them have a negative energy field at the level of Anger (150-174). This makes sense given that almost all of them (except Esther and Song of Solomon) offer a portrait of an angry, vengeful God. But of all these books, Revelation is easily the worst. With an extremely low calibration of 70, its End Times prophecy that God will destroy the world by fire tests as false. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 198) If the world is ever destroyed by nuclear war, it will not be by God’s hand. Revelation has led to the creation of numerous doomsday cults and has made it easier for the enemies of Christianity to portray the religion in a negative light. Without question, the damage that these books have done to Christianity is incalculable.
To be fair, most of these books do have individual passages that calibrate at a high level of truth. So while it cannot be said that none of these books contain any wisdom, they are still unworthy of being part of the foundation of Christianity’s teachings.
Of course, many Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God and is therefore sacrosanct. However, it is important to realize that its books were not written by Jesus but by many authors. Some of these authors were enlightened (i.e. Mark, John, Peter, Paul), but others were not. Furthermore, these books were written during an era when the level of consciousness of mankind was much lower than it is now, and truth, therefore, was even more difficult to discern, so it should hardly be surprising that errors were made. Was the Bible divinely inspired? The fact that it turned out as good as it did indicates the answer is yes.
But the benefits of restoring Christianity’s level of truth cannot be overstated. At such a level of power, its influence will grow far greater than ever before, and the decline of religion that has occurred in the West in recent decades will no doubt be reversed.
We believe the addition of the Modern Testament will aid in this reversal. Despite the great wisdom that does exist in the Bible’s pages, its books can feel inaccessible due to the era from which they came. Another drawback of the Bible’s age is that it offers no defense of Western civilization which is currently in decline and under attack. It offers no commentary on the many new false religions that have recently appeared which have deceptively lured millions of people into their ranks. Because of all this, one can make a strong argument that the Bible in its current form is insufficient in meeting the needs of modern man.
Therefore, adding new books written specifically to address a modern audience that offer not only answers to age-old questions but brand-new ones as well as revolutionary new tools and methods is absolutely vital.
But there are other reasons why we believe the addition of the Modern Testament with new books is important. This hopefully will send a clear message that Holy Christianity is offering something truly different. We also want this new information to be set in stone and not easily subject to future revision, since any revisions are likely to be for the worse. This will hopefully inoculate the Holy Christian Church from the corruption and decline that other churches have experienced.
Now that we have thoroughly explained our reasons for offering a new Christianity, let us begin answering some of mankind’s most important theological questions.
What is the nature of God?
God is the source of life, evolution, and creation.
God is all-loving and all-merciful.
God does not possess human weaknesses such as anger, resentment, and jealousy.
God is not judgmental nor does He seek revenge or retaliation.
God is not confined to a locality, time, or place. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 163-164)
The time is long overdue for us to finally cast aside the jealous, angry, vengeful God of the Old Testament. God is not anger. God is not judgment. God is not hatred.
God is love.
On this the New Testament is very clear:
“We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.” (1 John 4:16)
Can the existence of God be proven?
The answer is no. Not if by “proven” one means verification using the scientific method. Unfortunately, the scientific method itself is limited because it can only measure that which has form. It cannot measure anything that is formless. And God is formless.
Therefore, the existence of God cannot be proven; it can only be known. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 180)
However, there is certainly an abundance of evidence that God exists. To start, your very existence, as well as that of the world around you, is evidence of this.
But science in recent years has been able to make a very compelling case for God. Today there are 200 known parameters that are required for life to exist on a planet. In addition, astrophysicists have determined that the parameters for the universe itself to exist are far, far greater. Every single one must be perfectly met or there could be no life at all.
The odds that every single one of these parameters could have been perfectly met by accident? It has been said it would be like tossing a penny and having it come up heads 10 quintillion times in a row.
So believing that everything in the universe just miraculously came together by accident increasingly seems like a greater act of faith than simply believing in God. One scientist even admitted his atheism had been “badly shaken” and that the evidence of a Creator is “overwhelming.” (Mataxes, 2014)
Was Jesus the Son of God?
With muscle testing, we can confirm that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected three days later. All of these things test as true.
What is the purpose of life?
To grow and evolve.
And this realm offers the maximum opportunity for this growth to occur. It is extremely rare to be born a human being. There is actually a very long waiting list. Therefore, it would be correct to view the human condition not as a curse but as a great gift.
A large reason why Western civilization is currently in crisis is that since the end of the Cold War it has lacked a clear purpose. Worldly goals are not enough. Even if one succeeds in achieving worldly success, the inevitable conundrum becomes: “What next?”
We believe the Christian goal of salvation can provide the kind of purpose and meaning that so many people are lacking today. The journey itself is just as important as the destination.
What is the key to happiness?
Happiness is largely based on one’s level of consciousness. For example, a person whose LOC is at the level of Anger will experience this as their primary emotion, and thus happiness will likely prove elusive. Happiness comes much easier to those at the higher levels above 200 because the primary emotions they experience are positive (Courage, Willingness, Reason, Love).
Growth is also important. As long as you are growing, even in small ways, you will feel happy. True self-esteem comes from accomplishment. The “everyone gets a trophy” philosophy tries to deny this truth, but it will never succeed in creating happier people.
How can one change the world?
A rising tide lifts all boats. As we grow spiritually and increase our level of consciousness, the power of our energy field increases exponentially, and this helps to counterbalance the collective negativity of mankind. If one wishes to benefit the world, this is much more effective than protesting with a sign on a street corner because it is unseen and therefore unopposed. It is the difference between using power and using force. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 301)
So if you wish to change the world, the best way to do this is to change yourself.
If heaven exists and if God is all-loving, then why doesn’t He simply place us all there? Why does God make us live in a world where pain and suffering exist? Why does God allow evil to exist?
These are age-old questions, and yet they all have essentially the same answer.
God has given each of us the gift of agency. This is the ability to choose. Without agency, we cannot have a purpose. Nor can we accomplish anything. Without purpose and accomplishment, existence would be empty.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe, yet for love to be real it must be freely chosen. This also requires agency. Otherwise, we would exist without love. This would also be empty.
The falls of Adam and Eve and the angel Lucifer demonstrate the folly of handing someone heaven who hasn’t earned it. They ultimately will not appreciate it and will inevitably violate the rules and principles that are required to live at such a high level.
As for this world, God did not force us to be born into it. We freely chose this existence, as it offers the maximum opportunity for growth. Again, freedom of choice is crucial. We have been given the freedom to choose love or hate. This is why what we call “evil” exists. God could force us all to act in a loving way, but it wouldn’t be real love if not freely chosen, and it would rob us of the opportunity to grow and evolve, so what would be the point?
With this knowledge, we can begin to view the world from a different perspective. We can respect the fact that each individual is simply exercising the freedom of choice that God has given them even if we don’t agree with the choices they make.
This world is also designed to allow each of us to work through negative karma (debts resulting from negative actions taken in previous lifetimes) which is the only way we can spiritually move forward. This usually involves suffering and negative circumstances and events that we judge to be “bad.” But what is agony for the ego is often elixir for the spirit.
Why doesn’t the Bible mention karma?
Although the Bible doesn’t mention karma, it does say that virtue and sin have different consequences for the soul after one dies and that the soul will either wind up in heaven or hell as a result. (Hawkins, 2006, p. 160)
What is the nature of heaven and hell?
Heaven and hell are each composed of various regions or levels. Dante’s Divine Comedy gives a fairly accurate description of both.
As to where the soul winds up, it all is dependent on one’s level of consciousness. The Map of Consciousness is a useful guide in this regard. Someone at 195 would wind up in the highest region of hell. A serial killer at 20 would wind up in one of the lower regions. The lower one goes, the more dreadful and hopeless it becomes. Only souls at 200 or higher go to heaven.
The good news is that when we die God does not pass judgment on us. Our level of consciousness is what decides the destination of the soul, and that is something we have control over. So where we go after death is ultimately up to us. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 254-255)
Is reincarnation real?
Yes. Many Christians do not believe in reincarnation, but Jesus did briefly acknowledge it when he stated that Elijah had returned as John the Baptist (Matthew 11:7-14 and 17:10-13).
If the purpose of our earthly existence is to grow and evolve, then the idea of reincarnation makes perfect sense as a single lifetime is not enough for most people to make any real spiritual progress. Also, a God that is all-loving and all-forgiving would surely offer the karmic opportunity of another chance.
What is salvation?
Salvation is the ultimate goal of Christianity. Reaching this level of consciousness guarantees the safety of the soul in the afterlife. Another term for salvation is unconditional love. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 108)
Jesus taught unconditional love:
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44)
“For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another” (1 John 3:11)
“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.” (Colossians 3:14)
Some Christians believe that simply becoming a Christian and accepting Jesus as one’s savior is all that is required in order to be “saved.” However, this is not true.
Jesus alluded to this in the parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:2-10) in which a guest shows up improperly dressed for the occasion and is thrown out. He also states it outright:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do mighty works?’ Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’” (Matthew 7:21-23)
Clearly, it is not enough to simply enter the Christian church. Salvation must be earned, and it is not an easy path.
One of the major challenges has been that the idea of salvation is too abstract and ethereal for most people. But major spiritual advancements made in recent decades have enabled us to turn this “airy fairy” concept into something that is concrete and measurable.
Salvation/unconditional love is located at 540 on the Map of Consciousness, and its attainment can be confirmed with muscle testing.
What exactly is unconditional love?
It needs to be understood that unconditional love is more than just a feeling. It is a spiritual state.
When we speak of love, we are not referring to romantic love which is defined by physical attraction, eroticism, and possessiveness. This isn’t real love.
The kind of love we are referring to is permanent and unchanging. It does not take any position and focuses only on the good in life. It augments the positive instead of attacking the negative.
People who reach this level of consciousness experience an inner joy that is constant. It is independent of events. Saving the world now becomes unnecessary because the world is seen as innately beautiful. This is what happens when one has the ability to love all of life in all its colors and expressions. One can finally see and know the absolute truth: The world is perfect just as it is.
Unconditional love is the level of sainthood, and it is the true level of happiness. It is a feeling unlike any other. (Hawkins, 1995, pp. 90-92)
One person at this level is able to counterbalance the negativity of four million people whose level of consciousness is below 200. Hopefully, you can now see exactly what we mean when we say that the best way to change the world is to change yourself. Only a relatively small number of people would need to reach this level of consciousness in order for it to have an expansive impact on the entire world.
How does one reach unconditional love?
The way to unconditional love is amazingly simple in practice. One must be loving toward everyone at all times, in all situations, regardless of the circumstances. With this simple approach, unconditional love can be achieved in a single human lifetime, although it could conceivably take decades.
What makes this path so difficult is that when one pursues unconditional love, all the obstacles to love come up. For example, one may suddenly find others to be surprisingly callous or cruel. When these things happen, it is essentially a test. It can be extremely frustrating to pursue love only to find it elusive, but it helps to understand that one is simply working through negative karma. Another challenge is the tendency to view certain people as evil and so loving them will not seem possible.
The path to unconditional love is best described as one of addition by subtraction. One cannot simply be unconditionally loving. One must first remove the obstacles to unconditional love which traditionally has been a very long and difficult undertaking.
Fortunately, there are now ways to rapidly accelerate this process.
Tools and Methods
Traditional self-help - 223
Letting Go - 335
Stacking - 430
Clearing - 444
Radical Truth - 494
Iboga - 500
A Course In Miracles - 600
Anything that calibrates at 200 or higher on the Map of Consciousness has a positive energy field and has integrity. But it will be helpful to clarify what the various levels above 200 represent when it comes to evaluating the tools and methods we have listed here. Anything in the 200s should be considered good. Anything in the 300s is very good. Anything in the 400s is great. Anything at 500 or higher is outstanding.
Note that traditional self-help is in the low 200s. This means it qualifies as merely good and thus most people will not greatly benefit from it. So why do so many self-help books, programs, and seminars fail to achieve greatness?
The reason is that most of our problems, challenges, and limitations are rooted in the unconscious. We have so many unconscious negative programs, beliefs, and emotions that run and control us, yet traditional self-help cannot access the unconscious. This is why it usually falls short.
Sadly, most self-help can only teach us how to decorate our prisons. If we wish to be set free from our prisons, we will need something at a higher level.
Letting Go
There has never been a tool so simple and yet so powerful as this one. It is a way to eliminate pain. Most people don’t understand pain. They don’t truly understand why they experience it nor do they know how best to deal with it.
Here is the first and perhaps most important lesson:
You are never in pain for the reason you think you are.
This is crucial to understand. The source of our pain, whether it be physical or mental, is always unconscious.
Your conscious mind wants to make sense of everything. Because of this, it will always come up with a reason for why you are in pain, but do not believe what it tells you for it is not capable of knowing the real answer.
The mind’s limited understanding often leads to terrible mistakes. People think their marriage is the cause of their anguish, so they divorce their spouse. Or they think their job is the problem, so they quit. Or they think their body is the issue, so they undergo dangerous surgeries or medical treatments.
Whenever you are in any kind of pain, don’t try to understand why. Don’t try to reason your way out of it. Just focus on releasing the pain which can be done with the Letting Go method. It offers a way to alleviate mental anguish and also quickly heal physical pain and physical injury.
Whenever one experiences pain, whether it be physical or mental, the automatic instinct is to resist, to try to push it away. But resisting pain doesn’t alleviate it; it merely prolongs it.
The answer is non-resistance. This is how Letting Go works. Instead of resisting the pain, one surrenders to it. Ask for more of it. Say “More! More!” By allowing the pain to pass through you without resistance, it will disappear much faster. How much faster? It can often happen in less than a minute. In the most extreme cases, however, it can take several weeks. (Hawkins, 2012, pp. 19-22)
A good analogy would be a tree in a hurricane. A tree that tries to hold strong against such a ferocious wind will surely break. But a tree that is able to bend with the wind will survive.
Letting Go can be used to quickly heal physical injuries, even major ones such as burns and broken bones. It can also be used to heal illness and disease, even cancer. (Hawkins, 2009, pp. 306-307, 436) Why? Because we mistakenly believe that illness and disease are the result of something “out there” that has afflicted us. But in reality, the root of all disease is not “out there” but “in here.” Illness and disease are usually the result of suppressed negative emotions such as unconscious guilt, grief, fear, shame, and anger (A useful exercise is to look back at the most painful events of your life and try to stir up any suppressed negative emotions you may have, then use Letting Go to release them).
Finally, it can also be used when you find yourself in a deep pit of despair. All this makes Letting Go one of the most invaluable tools ever created.
If by chance you find the Letting Go method not working for you, an extra step you can take is by way of prayer. Ask to be shown whatever is present that is not aligned with truth and love.
Why can prayer make a difference? Because any kind of spiritual error results in pain. If you are holding something in your subconscious that is not aligned with the absolute truth, it will result in pain. And if you can't muscle test, then deep prayer may be the only way to determine what the error is.
Perhaps the only challenge with Letting Go is that it is so simple that you can easily forget to use it. Whenever you feel any kind of pain, just stop resisting and surrender. This alone has the capacity to transform your entire life.
Stacking
This method utilizes both Letting Go and the Map of Consciousness in an extremely powerful way. It is a way to release unconscious “blocks.” A block is essentially an issue. It is something negative that needs to be either resolved or released.
Imagine for a moment that you are the sun, perfect in every way. But there are clouds that are preventing your light from shining through. These clouds represent the negative unconscious blocks that are holding you back. Traditional self-help will try to show you how to make your light shine brighter, to shine through the clouds. Unfortunately, this is very difficult and requires so much effort that, even when possible, it simply isn’t sustainable.
But imagine if instead you could simply remove the clouds that were in front of you. Then your light would shine through automatically, effortlessly. Well, with this method we can begin to remove, bit by bit, the clouds that are blocking and diminishing you. Doing this will rapidly accelerate your spiritual progress, and your level of consciousness will inevitably begin to rise.
Stacking can be done once a day. Each day there will usually be at least one negative block that is available to be released, but unless you can muscle test then you can’t know what it is. So what you do is go down the Map of Consciousness and use the Letting Go method on every single negative emotion, from Pride to Below Zero. Doing this should allow you to release most of whatever negative blocks are available.
You begin by sitting or lying down with your eyes closed. We recommend saying a quick prayer in which you ask the Holy Spirit for assistance in releasing whatever blocks are available. You could also ask the Holy Spirit to make any blocks available that are related to a specific issue such as social anxiety or a past traumatic experience.
You then imagine a dark cloud above you that fills the entire sky. This dark cloud is meant to represent Pride. Begin to use the Letting Go method. You simply look at the cloud, don’t resist it, and say yes to it. You do this for about 30 seconds, then you invite love into it. You imagine a whirlwind of love coming in and enveloping you and everything around you, making the dark cloud disappear. Do this for about 20 seconds.
After Pride, you then repeat the entire exercise with the next negative emotion on the map which is Anger. And you keep going until you have done this exercise with every single one of them.
Here is the full list of negative emotions:
Pride
Anger
Desire
Fear
Grief
Apathy
Guilt
Shame
Below Zero (wanting to die)
By the time you are finished, you will have likely released most, if not all, of whatever negative blocks that are available to be released. But there is one further step that you can take.
You say, “If there is anything else available to be healed, let it come up now.” Then you imagine some dust rising up out of the ground, representing whatever else there is that can be healed. And then imagine a whirlwind of love coming in and healing it.
Once the process is finished, you will usually feel pretty amazing. The entire exercise should take less than 10 minutes. It is extremely powerful indeed.
Clearing
This next method also utilizes Letting Go. It can be used to remove unconscious negative programs and identities.
What is a program? Imagine a computer program that keeps running and running. Now imagine a program that is running you but in a way that is hurting you. Most people are severely limited due to the large number of negative programs that control them. If you find yourself continually sabotaging yourself or acting in destructive ways that you can’t seem to control, it may be due to the influence of a program (If you find yourself repeatedly thinking a negative phrase, that phrase may be a negative program).
An identity often starts with “I am.” It is a way that you view yourself.
Here are some common negative programs and identities:
I want to fail.
I want to die.
I’ll never be forgiven.
I’m trapped.
I want.
I’m weak.
I’m scared.
My life is over.
I have no control.
There's no hope.
I won’t try.
I don’t care.
I give up.
I’m ruined.
I hate myself.
I should be better.
I want pity.
Love is scarce.
Love hurts.
Love is cruel.
I don’t want love.
I’m unlovable.
I’m above love.
I’m not worthy of love.
God is unlovable.
I’m not worthy of God.
I hate God.
I hate people.
I hate life.
I’m ugly.
I’m a victim.
People are cruel.
Rejection is death.
The world is too difficult.
I’m a phony.
I'm inferior.
I'm a loser.
I'm ashamed.
I'm overwhelmed.
I'm helpless.
I'm cursed.
I'm afraid.
I'm not enough.
I'm bad.
To begin, be willing to consider that there may be things about yourself that you don’t know. Be willing to explore them.
Go down this list and find any phrases that resonate with you. You will need to spend a few weeks contemplating each one. Pray to the Holy Spirit for help.
Take time each day to focus on the phrase. Ask yourself, “Is this true?” If you believe the answer is yes, then ask yourself three questions:
Could I be willing to let go of this?
Would I be willing to let go of this?
When? (Now.)
After asking the third question, pray for assistance before answering. (Larry Crane - Release technique)
Keep focusing on the phrase without resistance. Use the Letting Go technique on it at least once a day.
This method tends to be very hit-and-miss. It requires patience and perseverance. We are trying to access the unconscious, and this is very difficult to do if you can't muscle test. Keep in mind that some programs and identities can have multiple layers to them. But simply being aware of a program/identity and looking at it for a period of time can be enough to eventually release it.
Note that some of the above phrases involve God. It will be tempting for religious people to assume that they don’t have any issues with God, but this is rarely the case. So we recommend trying this exercise with some of the phrases even if they don’t resonate with you just to see if you can discover something that you were not consciously aware of.
Programs can often cause unconscious self-sabotage. If you are constantly making bad decisions in certain areas of your life (or all areas), then you may very well have a self-sabotage program that is running you. If so, removing it is one of the most important things you can do.
But don’t think that Clearing is just about self-help. It can remove obstacles that are inhibiting your spiritual growth. When you consider that it is very possible to carry a program or identity for multiple lifetimes, there should be no understating how beneficial this can be.
Will this method remove all or most of your negative programs and identities? Unlikely. The average person simply has too many of them. The most effective ways of doing this involve using Radical Truth or Iboga. But Clearing can hopefully help you remove the ones that are the most destructive.
A Course In Miracles
This is a one-year course that is available for free online at acim.org. There are two main parts: the Text and the Workbook for Students. It is recommended that you skip the Text (as it contains a number of errors) and just do the Workbook for Students. It is the Workbook, not the Text, that calibrates at 600.
There are 365 daily lessons to complete. All the exercises are simple but each must be practiced and applied to the fullest. Otherwise, you will not make any significant progress.
A Course in Miracles is rooted in the power of forgiveness. Successfully completing the entire workbook should raise one’s level of consciousness to 540. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 315; 2005, p. 366)
Radical Truth
The tools and methods we have discussed thus far have been relatively simple. Starting now, we will introduce ones that are more complex and extreme.
Stacking allows you to remove negative blocks. Clearing can remove negative programs and identities. But Radical Truth can do all of these and much more. While Stacking and Clearing employ a scattershot approach, Radical Truth has the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel.
In our discussion of Stacking, we mentioned that there is usually at least one block that is available each day to be released. Radical Truth involves the use of muscle testing which allows the practitioner to identify the exact energy level of the available block as well as other critical elements. For example, muscle testing might reveal that the block is Guilt. You could then identify the context of the block: life, love, God, sex, others, or the world. There could be an incident related to the block. Muscle testing can then identify the year the incident occurred, if there were other people involved, and other details.
There could be numerous other elements such as an intention, a curse, a program, an upset, a limiting belief, an identity, a withhold, a decision, a soul vow, an archetype, and many others that comprise the entirety of the block. Once identified, the Letting Go method is used to release many of these elements.
Here are seven real-life examples of blocks that were identified using Radical Truth:
Fear in the context of the world.
Intention: To not let anyone see me as I truly am.
Identity: I’m inferior.
Curse: You’re no good.
Program: I’m trapped.
Withhold: Fear is being used as an excuse to justify retreating from the world.
***
Guilt in the context of the world.
Intention: To punish myself because I don’t think I’m worthy of being in the world.
Identity: I’m inferior.
Program: I won’t try.
***
Apathy in the context of God. From 1 lifetime ago.
Intention: To give up on love.
Identity: I’m helpless.
Curse on God: You cheated me.
Program: I’ll never find love.
Decision: To never allow myself to be vulnerable.
***
Shame in the context of the world.
Intention: To hide.
Identity: I’m pathetic.
Program: The world is too difficult.
Turnaround: The world is easy as long as you trust God.
***
Neutrality in the context of life.
The error was to see unconditional love as being neutral, but unconditional love as a way of being can never be neutral.
***
Willingness in the context of life.
Intention: To start trying.
The error was to believe that one must try. Instead, one simply has to be.
***
Willingness in the context of the world.
The error was trying to grow spiritually without identifying with the larger Self.
Intention: To do it on my own.
Identity: I’m enough (as in the small “I”).
As you can see, the nuance and level of detail in these blocks are impressive. With this method, you can even release blocks from previous lifetimes that are still affecting you now. These examples demonstrate just how powerful Radical Truth is. When you can access the unconscious, you can get to the heart of the issue/problem quickly and avoid wasting time.
Note that the last three blocks involve willingness and neutrality which are positive emotions. Although rare, you sometimes will encounter blocks that are positive (above 200), and they can be the hardest ones to figure out.
This is why prayer plays such a crucial part in the process. When it comes to determining specific answers, they often can only be discerned through prayer. During the session, the practitioner simply prays to be shown the answer and waits for it to come. Muscle testing is used to confirm that the answer is correct. What this means is that the practitioner is merely a conduit for the Holy Spirit.
The third book of the Modern Testament, A Story of Salvation, provides many other real-life examples of Radical Truth. It reveals just how quickly this method can raise your level of consciousness. The entire process is laid out in the book Radical Truth: A Step-By-Step Walkthrough.
As of this writing, finding a competent Radical Truth practitioner may be a challenge as there are very few out there. We plan to list the ones we know of on our website. Radical Truth is not something that can be faked, so it should only take a single session to discern if a practitioner is legitimate.
For many, the financial cost of the sessions will be prohibitive, but Radical Truth is unquestionably one of the most powerful spiritual tools you can use.
Iboga
This is a psychedelic plant medicine that originated in Africa. It has been used for over two thousand years as a shamanic medicine that is capable of miraculous healing. It can also facilitate enormous jumps in your level of consciousness.
Iboga releases negative blocks just like Radical Truth, but it is infinitely more powerful. For comparison, Radical Truth can help you to release a few blocks at most in a single day, yet with Iboga, you can release hundreds of blocks in the same time frame. It is non-addictive and perfectly safe to use (except for people who have a heart condition). But you should have someone to watch over you because the medicine causes you to lose your balance and equilibrium. As a result, you will be unable to walk on your own for a few days until the medicine wears off.
It would be no exaggeration to call Iboga the ultimate spiritual shortcut. However, it is a shortcut that comes with a price. You must face what is inside of you. For some people, the medicine will remove their negative blocks, but each block gets one last shot at them on the way out. When this happens, it is not a pleasant experience. It can last as long as 24 hours and is one of the most difficult things a human being can endure.
However, most people do not experience this. The medicine has an intelligence to it, and it will not hit you with anything you cannot handle. But once it begins, there is no way to back out. You must ride it out until the end no matter how long it takes or how difficult the journey becomes.
Iboga is also used to heal drug and alcohol addictions. It can remove every trace of an addiction so that a person never has to worry about relapsing. It can also remove fears and help resolve many other issues as well.
To be clear, Iboga is not for everyone. It is not a casual experience. But for those who want to make major progress quickly, there is no better alternative.
Could someone use Iboga to reach salvation/unconditional love in a single day? The answer is yes. If the goal you set for yourself is to remove the obstacles to unconditional love, it can indeed happen in a single day. Just be aware that it could be the most difficult day of your entire life.
As of this writing, Iboga (also known as Ibogaine) is illegal in the United States and many Western countries. We plan to list Iboga retreats on our website that we highly recommend. For those who wish to purchase the Iboga medicine, we will also offer a list of Iboga providers whom we believe are trustworthy and reliable.
Iboga is discussed in greater detail in A Story of Salvation.
***
We recommend that people only use the tools and methods here that they feel comfortable with. But whether one uses Iboga, Radical Truth, Stacking, Clearing, A Course in Miracles, or just Letting Go, the fact remains that it is now possible to access the unconscious, to quickly remove negative blocks that otherwise might take decades or even multiple lifetimes to overcome. As a result, we now have the ability to achieve the kind of spiritual growth that is nothing short of miraculous.
Ultimately, what this means is that salvation/unconditional love, the ultimate goal of Christianity, is now within the grasp of any who seek it. It is hard to imagine a greater gift.
Additional Questions
Some claim that psychedelic drugs like LSD and Ecstasy can raise one’s consciousness. Is this true and how are these drugs different from Iboga?
While these drugs are similar to Iboga in that they are psychedelics, they can only you allow to experience a higher level of consciousness temporarily. There can be value in briefly experimenting with these psychedelics because experiencing the higher levels can motivate one to pursue a spiritual path.
But those who continually use these drugs are essentially trying to acquire spiritual riches without doing the required spiritual work. The downside, of course, is that this leads to addiction. It would be better to simply do Iboga which is non-addictive and is capable of increasing your level of consciousness on an incredible scale whereas other psychedelics can only give you the illusion of such an increase.
Is it possible for an atheist or agnostic to reach Unconditional Love?
No. Unconditional Love is at 540. The highest that an atheist or agnostic can go is 499 (Reason). The non-linear realm begins at 500. One cannot go there without God.
What does one do after reaching unconditional love?
Unfortunately, the struggle will not be over. Muscle testing reveals that 72% of people who reach the 500s or higher suffer a spiritual fall in which their LOC collapses, often to a level below 200.
There are numerous traps that are likely to ensnare anyone who is not sufficiently aware of the dangers and how to handle them. The biggest one is spiritual pride.
Pride is probably the deadliest of all the negative emotions because it can sneak up on you undetected. You know when you have anger, grief, guilt, or shame, but you often don’t realize when you are in pride.
The 500s are indeed wonderful, but they give you the feeling of specialness. This feeling is a dangerous trap and can eventually lead to a spiritual fall.
To prevent this from happening, you must first understand that reaching a high level of consciousness is not a personal achievement but a gift from God. In fact, every increase in your level of consciousness is a gift from God, and to view it any other way is an error. Focus on what is yet to be learned rather than what you have already learned. This is a powerful shield against pride. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 330)
Gratitude and humility are crucial. Ruthless honesty is also key. Integrity becomes more important than ever. There are many things you can get away with at the lower levels that will burn you badly at the higher levels. At 500 and up, you must hold yourself to the highest standards of integrity. Otherwise, you will fall. This is the price that such a level requires.
Prayer is also extremely valuable. Pray every day and ask the Holy Spirit as well as your spirit guardians (i.e. guardian angels) to help shield you from spiritual pride. When facing an obstacle as difficult as this, there is no reason to attempt to go it alone.
It is probably best to not know your level of consciousness. This can help shield against pride. However, once you reach the 500s, there is a good chance you will know it.
Because of this, we recommend using the Letting Go method once a day to release any spiritual pride you may have. Better to assume it is there and just release it.
Also helpful is to allow your ego to "have a party inside your head." Just imagine the ego doing a dance inside your head and celebrating, and say to it, “Yeah, yeah. Have your fun.” Say “I’m the best” in a fun, playful way. Whenever you have achieved an increase in your level of consciousness or released a major block, this exercise is especially useful.
But there is still yet another potential pitfall. People who reach the higher levels are sometimes approached by demonic entities who try to get them to turn against God. These astrals use the lure of acquiring power for its own sake, and many people have succumbed to this temptation. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 415)
The most famous example of this would be Judas Iscariot. As a disciple of Jesus, his level of consciousness rose to approximately 700 before Satan tempted him. Unfortunately, Judas succumbed to the temptation and invited Satan in. His LOC then fell to 153. After betraying Jesus, it fell to just 8.
One of the best defenses against such temptation is to not want anything. If there is nothing you want, you are not seducible.
To reach the 500s or higher and then fall is one of the most devastating things a human being can experience. There may be no greater tragedy.
Is pride only a concern for those at the higher levels?
Unfortunately, no. Pride is a grave danger to all. It may well be the greatest temptation there is. Why? Because it is an easy, seemingly cost-free way to prop ourselves up. When we look down on others, we suddenly appear to be standing taller. We feel superior, but it is only an illusion because we are looking at ourselves through a distorted perspective.
But make no mistake. Pride is not cost-free. It is often said that pride goeth before a fall.
The Bible reaffirms this:
“for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled” (Luke 18:14)
Pride leads to selfishness. When you believe you are superior to others, you have little qualms about taking what you want. Sacrificing for others is seen as unnecessary and beneath you. This ultimately destroys relationships.
Pride leads to unhappiness. The self-satisfaction we get from pride is ultimately hollow. It is no substitute for true accomplishment. If you live in pride, one day you may wake up to realize you spent your entire life in a delusion with little to show for it.
Pride also is used as a mask to cover up one’s own self-hatred. But it is another form of self-delusion that cannot last forever. When this bubble pops, the fallout will be painful indeed.
Pride also results in poor decisions, especially when it comes to money and investing. The desire to feel special and “be somebody” tempts many to gamble and take unnecessary risks. This almost always leads to disaster.
So how do we avoid pride?
We must go back to Luke 18:14. Earlier, we only gave you the first half of the passage. Here is the entire passage:
“for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
We must be willing to humble ourselves. This means serving God as well as serving others (i.e. spouse, family, strangers). It means doing the lowly things that most people find demeaning. Most importantly, it means always putting God first. These things will prevent us from placing ourselves on a pedestal.
As previously mentioned, doing the Stacking method daily can also help release any pride you may be unconsciously caught up in.
How powerful is prayer?
Praying before a meal increases the energy field of the food by several points. Doctors who pray for their patient tends to get better medical outcomes. (Hawkins lecture, 2005) The tools and methods we have provided here are more effective when accompanied by prayer.
When one prays, the universe does respond, but not necessarily in the way hoped. The mistake many people make is that they pray for a specific outcome and then are disappointed when they don’t get what they asked for.
Prayer should be more of an act of surrender. We can pray for assistance without specifying what form it should take. At the higher levels, prayer is more about how we can serve God and become a channel of His Will. (Hawkins 2001, p. 138)
Don’t these new tools and methods for reaching salvation make Jesus basically irrelevant?
Not at all. Muscle testing reveals that a savior is necessary for anyone who has a level of consciousness below 600. The obstacles on this path are too difficult to overcome otherwise. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 102-103)
Any time you place your faith in the Highest, the Highest becomes available to you. Aligning yourself with Jesus or any other high-level teacher (i.e. Buddha, Krishna) is one the most important things you can do.
Are the other Christian denominations wrong?
Most Christian denominations are on fairly sound footing even if they are only in the 400s (although some are in the 500s). In our view, besides teaching from a flawed Bible, there are two critical mistakes they make. First, they don't emphasize that unconditional love is the core of what Christ taught. Second, they don't teach that unconditional love is the key to salvation.
But the Christians of these denominations are still on a good path; it is simply a path that will likely take them longer to get to their ultimate destination. It is the difference between taking the direct path or the scenic route. Each will ultimately lead to the same destination. Whether it takes a single lifetime or a thousand, it makes little difference in the end. We simply prefer the direct path because we feel there is little point in wasting time.
Is Christianity superior to the other major religions?
No single group has a monopoly on the truth. Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna were the great avatars. Each calibrated at 1000, and each founded one of the world’s great religions, yet there is no conflict in the basic core of their teachings.
Jesus and Buddha did have different goals. The Buddha taught the way to the spiritual state of enlightenment. He had many previous lifetimes before he became enlightened. In contrast, Jesus did not have any previous human lifetimes. He descended from heaven, and his mission was the salvation of mankind. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 103)
It is important to realize that the same path that leads to unconditional love (540) also leads to enlightenment (600). It simply requires one to travel a little farther down the path.
Why didn't Jesus teach the path to enlightenment if it is higher than unconditional love?
Unconditional love is about spiritual purification while enlightenment is about the dissolution of the ego self. A full discussion of enlightenment is beyond the scope of this book, but 600 is merely the first level of enlightenment, and the path becomes ever more challenging as one rises higher. The 800s are horrifically painful (the Buddha testified to this) as a person's energy field becomes so powerful that the physical body feels like it is being fried. Without question, enlightenment is a much more difficult path. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 147, 149)
Unconditional love guarantees the safety of the soul in the afterlife, and thus Jesus believed reaching this spiritual state was good enough (It is also likely that the audience he was speaking to would not have been receptive to a message about enlightenment). For those who wish to pursue the higher levels beyond 600, we recommend doing so in the afterlife where you won't have a physical body that can suffer injury. In our view, attaining salvation is indeed "good enough."
You are saying that Christianity is not the only path to salvation and that a person can also attain salvation through Buddhism and Hinduism. Many Christians will take issue with this because Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father, except through me.” (John 14:6) How do you explain this apparent contradiction?
When Jesus said “except through me” he was referring not just to himself but to any high-level teacher which would also include Buddha and Krishna (tests as true). The confusion is likely due to the nature of the language that Jesus and his disciples spoke. This was Aramaic which did not easily translate into other languages as it used a great deal of exaggeration in its expressions. (Lamsa, Idioms, 1985, pp. 76, 78-79)
One example of this is when Jesus said, “I did not come to deliver peace but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34) This has often been misinterpreted to mean that Jesus endorsed violence, but what he was actually referring to was the sword of truth. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 375)
If Jesus truly meant that he was the only path to God, he likely would have spoken more in-depth about it rather than just offering a single line on the matter. He likely would have mentioned it in the Sermon on the Mount (the culmination of his teachings), yet he did not. What he says is that the one who enters the Kingdom of Heaven is “he who does the will of my Father.” (Matthew 7:21) Are we to believe that someone who does this would be denied heaven simply because they are not a follower of Jesus?
And what about the people who have never heard of Christianity? This would mean they have no path to heaven simply due to their geography. Would a God who is all-loving as Jesus claimed place anyone in such an unfair and impossible position?
Titus 3:5-8 states that salvation cannot be obtained through "works of righteousness", yet you are saying that people can make an active effort to raise their level of consciousness and attain salvation. How can you reconcile this?
"Works of righteousness" refers to doing good deeds, giving to charity and obeying the law. It is correct to say that these will not lead to salvation. These are outer works. We are suggesting that people focus on inner spiritual work, facing the darkness that exists inside them in order to release it. However, every increase in your level of consciousness is not a personal achievement but a gift from God. We each can set the direction, but any progress we make towards the goal must be attributed to God and God alone. Imagine a sailor setting the course, but God pushing the boat.
This is why it is so important to align yourself with a high-level teacher. Without the assistance that a high-level teacher like Jesus provides, attaining salvation will be almost impossible.
Many Christians will believe that what you are teaching about salvation reduces the crucifixion of Jesus to a meaningless sacrifice rather than one that absolves us of all our sins.
We have said that Jesus’s mission was the salvation of mankind, but what exactly did that mean? By providing humanity with a high-level teacher to adopt as a savior, Jesus made salvation possible for the many millions who were not fortunate enough to have heard of Buddha or Krishna. However, salvation is not automatic. We must acknowledge our sins as well as follow his teachings, especially in regards to having unconditional love for all of life, including those who are our enemies. Although it can take many years or even decades, following this path will eventually lead to the spiritual state of unconditional love which will mean that salvation has been attained. The Resurrection was instrumental in proving that death can be conquered, so to suggest that our view of salvation turns the Crucifixion into a meaningless sacrifice is simply wrong.
You have said that anyone with a level of consciousness at 200 or higher will go to heaven, yet salvation is only attained by those who are at 540. Is it really possible to not attain salvation and yet still go to heaven?
Yes. As stated earlier, there are different regions of heaven and hell. A person in the 200s will go to heaven, but it will be one of the lower regions, and they are likely to be reincarnated as a human again at some point as there will probably be more lessons that need to be learned. For those at 540, this is far less likely. Given the amount of pain and suffering that is inherent in the human condition, we should want to avoid being reincarnated again if possible. This is why attaining salvation is so important.
What of the prophecy of the Second Coming?
Most Christians believe the Second Coming will bring the physical return of Jesus Christ. However, we believe a different view is warranted.
Until relatively recently, the level of consciousness (LOC) of mankind was in the negative range. But in the late 1980s, it jumped from 190 to 207 for the very first time in human history. The significance of this event cannot be overstated.
When the LOC of mankind was below 200, wars were much more common and total nuclear destruction of the planet was likely. But now the LOC of mankind is in the positive range and, as a result, the world is a much different place. It is a whole new era in which the influence of falsehood is seriously weakened, and truth is in a stronger position to prevail. As long as this holds, a bright future for mankind is assured. Therefore, we can be optimistic about what lies ahead.
Muscle testing confirms that we can accurately describe this new level of consciousness as Christ Consciousness. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 283) It is indeed the Second Coming of Christ. He has returned, just not in physical form. Let us rejoice!
What are some of the false religions?
There are quite a few of them. Many do not present themselves as religions, yet they essentially are, for they usually have the rigid dogma and zealotry often associated with religion. But they are all inherently shallow, both spiritually and intellectually:
Humanism - 156
Socialism - 164
Environmentalism - 192
Feminism - 195
Mindfulness - 196
Transgenderism - 111
Sex as religion - 192
Technology as religion - 194
Humanism is about believing in mankind. In only mankind. Humanists place their faith in man rather than in God. An example of this would be the worshipping of political figures as if they are some kind of messiah who will lead humanity to a new golden age.
But no man can play God. All these would-be messiahs inevitably disappoint in the end. And when this happens? Humanists simply move on to the next messiah. They never learn.
Humanism has led to many disastrous policy mistakes. Because they believe that humanity, not God, is the answer to humanity’s challenges, humanists often take up endeavors that have no chance of succeeding. They simply lack the humility to recognize their own limitations. So they try to eliminate poverty, create universal health care, and reform every institution, yet their solutions often not only fail to solve the underlying problems but wind up making them worse. They can never admit that many of our problems may not have a solution, or at least not one that they are capable of implementing. They can never accept that it might be wiser to stop trying to fix everything and instead surrender the problems of the world to God.
Socialism has been one of the greatest disasters of the last century. It pushes for a classless society in which everyone is equal, but in reality, no one truly wants this. Our divine purpose is to grow and evolve, yet socialism stifles this by placing limits on what one can achieve. It promises an easy life without struggle, but this, even if it were possible, cannot alone bring happiness and fulfillment. As we’ve said, self-esteem only comes from accomplishment, and this is something that socialism actively discourages.
The biggest flaw of socialism is that it is human nature for people to not want to work hard. And if a basic income is guaranteed, if there is no reward for excellence, then people simply won’t make the effort. Socialism simply fails to provide the incentives required for any society to prosper and succeed. It has always resulted in poverty and misery wherever it has been tried.
Why are so many socialists in denial of this despite the clear historical record? Because everyone wants to believe that heaven is possible. However, socialists reject God and refuse to believe in the religious version of heaven. Therefore, their only alternative is to believe that heaven can be created on Earth. As a result, these people will forever cling to socialism. For them, it is their only hope of salvation.
Environmentalism is another religion. While there is nothing wrong with laws that prevent pollution, environmentalists have taken this to ridiculous extremes, seeking to impose bans on fossil fuels and other energy sources that will only make society poorer and more vulnerable. Their mistake is that they believe the environment is God and that God can somehow be harmed.
To be fair, not all these people are zealots in the religious sense. Some are merely opportunists who are using the specter of environmental disaster to frighten people into embracing a political agenda that they would otherwise never accept. It is worth noting that environmentalists usually reject any free-market solutions to our environmental concerns. Instead, they insist on bigger government, higher taxes, and more centralized control over our lives. A strong argument can be made that environmentalism is merely socialism in disguise. The only difference is that it is being proposed for the sake of Mother Earth rather than the proletariat. Environmentalism is proof that bad ideas never die. They just get repackaged.
Man-caused global warming tests as false. Man-caused climate change also tests as false. Human activity actually has very little effect on the planet’s temperature or weather. But let’s assume for a moment that we are wrong. Let’s assume that the planet will get considerably warmer and that the oceans will rise higher. To say that these things should not happen is to suggest that you know better than God. Do you really think you know better than God?
The point is that we cannot know what is karmically in the highest good. Perhaps it might be better to simply surrender the fate of the world to God. Perhaps it might be better to allow the world to fulfill its karmic destiny without judgment.
Modern-day feminism has become a religion in the sense that it worships the feminine as God. Women are hailed as saviors who can bring salvation to mankind. Feminism props up women while simultaneously tearing down men. It incongruently argues that women are so strong and powerful and superior to men while also claiming that women need help because men are oppressing them and holding them back. Feminists claim to want equality, but what they really desire is supremacy.
The masculine and the feminine naturally complement one another; there is no reason for them to be in opposition. While it is true that men in the past were too powerful in that women were treated as property and had little or no rights, what we have seen recently is a reversal in which the balance of power has swung too far to the opposite extreme.
Men today find themselves increasingly under attack in the media, disadvantaged in divorce court, and automatically assumed guilty when accused of sexual harassment or assault. As a result, men have been in decline and are retreating from society. This is disastrous not just for men but for women as well. A proper balance between men and women needs to be restored.
Mindfulness is a kind of faux spirituality. It is about meditation and other spiritual practices. The problem with mindfulness is that it ultimately leads nowhere. Turning off your thoughts to stay centered can be beneficial, but the method itself is rather empty. It would be the equivalent of suggesting that the various tools and methods we have presented here are the only things you will ever need in life and so you don’t need God. These are indeed powerful tools, but they are merely tools. They are no substitute for God.
Transgenderism may be the most bizarre of all of these religions, although it might be better to describe it as a cult due to the way it entraps its members. (Riley, 2020) It seems to be an attempt to replace God with gender identity. It is founded on the belief that some people are born into the wrong body.
Of course, the idea that God, who created the heavens and the universe with such delicate perfection, could be capable of making such an error is simply absurd. However, it is unlikely that these people believe in God. Statistics show that most teens who fall into this trap are from families that are politically progressive which usually means they lack a strong religious upbringing. (Shrier, 2020, p 90)
We have said that you are never in pain for the reason you think you are. So if you believe your body is the reason for your mental anguish, we recommend using the tools and methods described in this book as they are far more likely to help you than any life-altering surgeries or medical treatments.
Sex is also a religion. Our popular culture worships sex as if it were higher than God. But it worships the kind of sex that is impersonal, not intimate. Sex can be greatly fulfilling in a long-term monogamous relationship, but it can also be destructive when it is casual and among multiple partners. It is also destructive when it takes the form of pornography. While sex should not be seen as bad or shameful, by placing it on an altar we have gone to the opposite extreme.
Finally, technology has also become a religion for many. The members of this religion could be called technologists. They tend to be engineering types. They romanticize technology, believing it is capable of driving human behavior. They always think that some new technology is going to transform society and perhaps create a golden age for all mankind.
Alas, society is rarely ever transformed. And even when it is, the predictions of a golden age never come true. But these people still jump on every technological bandwagon that comes along. And every time one fails, they never lose faith. They just jump on the next one.
Without question, the technological advances of the past century have been very impressive, and they have made our lives easier in many ways. But while technology has certainly reduced much of the pain of the human condition, it cannot wholly eliminate it. It cannot fulfill the needs of the soul. It can never be more than a little tin god.
The above examples should make it clear that we all need religion. We all need something to believe in that is greater than ourselves. And yet the ego mind will still go to ridiculous lengths to deny the existence of God. Why? Because the ego secretly hates God and does not want to acknowledge His sovereignty. This is why the Buddha in his teachings did not even mention God due to God being such an emotional issue for most people. It may have been a wise move considering that Buddhism does not get attacked nearly as much as Christianity does.
As you can see, there are many religions in this world. More than it may seem at first glance. But we need to be able to recognize the false ones because they will take us down the wrong road. At best, it will be a waste of time. At worst, it will lead to disaster as well as serious karmic consequences.
The good news is that Christianity will bring you a greater sense of peace, security, and happiness than you could ever possibly find in any of the false religions mentioned above.
How do you respond to those who say that Christianity is tyrannical and that it prevents us from doing what will make us happy?
Those who say Christianity is tyrannical need a history lesson. Many of the basic individual rights and freedoms that people in the West enjoy today are largely due to the influence of Christianity. The early Christians helped put an end to many abhorrent practices such as incest, sexual abuse of children, polygamy, infanticide, and human sacrifice. The notion that “all men are created equal” came from Christian thought and philosophy.
Before the rise of the modern welfare state, the church provided much-needed services for the poor such as food, health care, and schooling. Christian churches have established schools, universities, hospitals, soup kitchens, and orphanages. Without question, the contributions of Christianity to society have been enormous.
What critics of Christianity usually do is point to some historical examples in which the Christian church did something wrong as a way to tarnish the entire religion. They will mention the Inquisition or the sexual abuse scandals of the Catholic Church. But when Christian institutions fail to live up to the standards of the religion, that is due to the fallibility of the people inside those institutions, not the religion itself. The core teaching of Christianity is about having unconditional love for all life. Are the secularists really suggesting that a religion that teaches this should be invalidated simply because not all Christians live up to it?
But if we are going to keep a scorecard on brutality, it needs to be said that the worst killers in history have been atheists (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot). The worst examples of religious brutality do not hold a candle to the death tolls that these mass murderers have accumulated.
And as for how Christianity supposedly limits you, consider that every car needs a road to get to its destination. If it tries to travel off the road, it is going to encounter rough terrain and will likely crash. Think of Christianity as a road that will take you safely through life. Yes, you will be required to follow rules, some of which may feel constraining. But these rules are meant to protect you. As human beings, we are all extremely vulnerable. One single wrong decision could potentially destroy any of us. And due to the Wild West nature of the internet, there are now more potential pitfalls than ever before.
The good news is that as you pursue unconditional love and your level of consciousness begins to rise, happiness will become more and more automatic. It won’t be based on outside circumstances that you cannot control. Far from constraining, this path will ultimately bring the greatest joy and freedom you can imagine.
False religions always promise you freedom, but when you ignore God’s laws what you inevitably get is enslavement.
How do we deal with evil? Should we even use such a label?
Truth leads to freedom and peace. Falsehood leads to conflict and destruction. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 286, 322) Therefore, it is correct to say that anything aligned with truth (200 or higher on the Map of Consciousness) is “good” while anything aligned with falsehood (below 200) is “bad.”
When it comes to people who are below 200, it is usually best to simply avoid them as they will eventually bring themselves down by their own hand. Unfortunately, there will always be some individuals who pose too great a threat to be ignored (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, bin Laden).
However, it is better to view people who are below 200 as flawed or misguided rather than evil. But there are still things for which the label of “evil” can be appropriate (i.e. pornography).
Being judgmental has become highly unfashionable in our society. Whenever there is a discussion concerning morality, the first thing that people will usually say is: “I believe people should be able to do whatever they want.”
No one wants to condemn negative behaviors anymore for fear of coming off as intolerant or prudish, but the result of this is that the guardrails (i.e. societal norms) that have traditionally kept people from going off-course and crashing have largely disappeared.
And societal norms do more to make people adhere to integrity than any law possibly can. Reestablishing these norms will require people to start making judgments.
But doesn’t the Bible tell us to judge not?
Indeed it does (Matthew 7:1). But what this means is that you judge not the individual but the action. We must remember that everyone seeks to do good, but most simply lack the discernment to know what the good is. We should show compassion, mercy, and forgiveness towards these individuals. But this does not mean we must tolerate behaviors that are below 200. We have every right to condemn them.
Jesus demonstrated this when he saved the adulteress from being stoned to death. He showed her mercy, but afterward, he did not tell her it was okay to continue doing what she was doing. He told her to “sin no more.” (John 8:11)
Doing this probably won’t make you popular. You may lose friends. But in the end, you will ultimately be better off surrounding yourself with integrous people. Quality is much more important than quantity.
The bottom line is that integrity matters. If you simply agree with an action that is below 200 (i.e. supporting an act of violence), you take on the same concordant karmic responsibility as if you had committed the act yourself. This is why it is crucial to be aligned with truth. Because you may suffer terrible consequences if you are not.
What does muscle testing reveal to us about death?
Life and death are not opposites. Death is not the end of life but merely a transition.
The time of our deaths is actually preset at birth but not in terms of a specific date. It occurs after we have fulfilled our life purpose. This is why so many people tend to die not long after they retire.
Thankfully, death itself is not painful as we do not experience our deaths. After we die, we quickly lose all our memories of this lifetime. It is only the ego, our sense of a personal separate self, that dies. So what ultimately matters is not what we experience in this lifetime but how much we have grown. In other words, what ultimately matters at the end of our lives is our level of consciousness.
Finally, it is best to wait three days before burying someone because that is how long it takes for the spirit to become fully detached from the body. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 230)
Are guardian angels real?
Yes. Every person below 200 has one guardian angel. When you reach 200, you receive a second. As you go higher, you receive additional ones. A person at 540 has four guardian angels. Praying to them for guidance can be extremely beneficial.
How can one deal with depression?
Depression is usually the result of the inability to handle fear. There is something that you are afraid of, and that fear is causing you to feel depressed. The solution is to get a handle on the fear. First, you must figure out what it is you are afraid of. The easiest way to do this is to think of the worst-case scenario that you can imagine: You are old, you are alone, you are poor, etc.
Whatever the scenario is, you need to stop resisting it. Surrender to it. Decide that if it were to happen, you would be okay. This will require courage because it forces you to face your fear. But once you do this, the feeling of depression should disappear as quickly as if you had flipped a switch.
The other major cause of depression is eating foods with too much sugar. If you have a high-sugar diet, simply eliminate the sugar and within two weeks you should feel a lot better. (Hawkins, 2009, pp. 368-393)
For more extreme cases, doing Iboga can also be of great value.
Is there anything else you can offer to all the people out there who are in despair?
For older people who find themselves experiencing deep regrets over what they failed to accomplish or missed out on and for younger people who are fearful that they may never achieve their goals and dreams, we would argue that this despair is rooted in selfishness. It is the result of being too focused on what you want rather than what God wants. When you are focused on what God wants, you realize that worldly goals are not nearly so important. As we’ve previously stated, what ultimately matters is who you become, not what you experience or what happens to you. Learn to focus on what God wants rather than what you want, and all the anguish you feel will disappear.
But what about painful situations that are beyond our control?
The way to deal with them is by acceptance and non-resistance.
Resistance is the root cause of suffering. Suffering is not possible if you do not resist. It then becomes possible to enjoy any circumstance of life, even poverty.
Always remember that everything that happens in this world is only temporary. It is what awaits us in the next world that really counts.
What about homosexuality?
Homosexuality calibrates at 196. The low calibration is due to several reasons. One is that homosexual couples do not contribute to the birthrate which is crucial for every society to ultimately survive and thrive.
Also, many homosexuals have been sexually molested in their youth. Sexually abused young males are “up to 7 times more likely to self-identify as gay or bi-sexual than peers who had not been abused,” said a peer-reviewed 1998 study, “Sexual Abuse of Boys,” by William C. Holmes, M.D. and Gail B. Slap, M.D. This study calibrates at 499.
Our society has largely been sold on the notion that “gays” are born the way they are, and that they have no choice in the matter, but this study indicates otherwise (Also see the multitude of videos that exist on YouTube by former homosexuals who have left this lifestyle). Muscle testing reveals that a stunning 93% of homosexuals have been sexually molested. So it would seem that most homosexuals are the product of sexual abuse (tests as true). The American Psychiatric Association used to consider homosexuality a mental disorder. Their position was at 494. They reversed it in 1973, not because of any new scientific evidence, but due to political pressure. Their current position is at 199. (First Baptist Church, 2010)
The kind of lifestyle that homosexuals lead is alarming. A 1978 study by Alan P. Bell and Martin S. Wineburg reported that 43% of homosexuals had more than five hundred sexual partners over the course of their lifetime. This study calibrates at 494. Also, gay men engage in sodomy which is extremely dangerous and calibrates at only 162. Sodomy is the reason why so many gay men contract AIDS, Monkeypox and other diseases. By no measure can such a lifestyle be considered healthy. It is self-destructive.
Lesbian relationships are not nearly as dangerous, but studies still show them to be highly unstable with high break-up rates. (CBS article, 2016) And we cannot ignore the permissive culture that has been built around homosexuality. It is based on lust and pornography (Glatze, 2007). It is a culture that rejects monogamy and puts an emphasis on casual hook-ups. This makes it largely incompatible with the institution of marriage which is rooted in monogamy. And the low marriage rates among homosexuals in the U.S. (around ten percent) indicate that their push for gay marriage was less about wanting to marry and more about winning social acceptance of their lifestyle. (Jones, 2021)
Perhaps the biggest challenge with homosexual relationships is that our bodies are simply not designed for them. We are designed for opposite-sex relationships, not same-sex ones. And whenever you try to perform a task with a tool that was not designed for that task, you are inevitably going to run into difficulties.
To be clear, we do not believe these people are evil, and we are not suggesting that homosexuality should be banned or outlawed. We are simply saying it should not be encouraged or enabled. Many of these people know there is something deeply wrong with themselves and desperately wish to be normal, yet they cannot get help due to the political forces that have made such services taboo. They have been essentially thrown under the bus and left to suffer.
But we now have good news. Muscle testing reveals that homosexuality can be transcended with the use of the Letting Go method as well as Iboga.
We realize that taking this position will likely subject us to ferocious attack. We will no doubt be accused of spreading “hate.” But there is nothing hateful about telling someone to avoid self-destructive behavior.
Most Christian churches have largely surrendered on this issue, but we will not. We will stand our ground. For there is no substitute for truth, no matter how uncomfortable that truth may be.
Why should anyone read the Bible today?
The Bible offers a unique perspective and worldview that one rarely gets from today’s secular media. For new readers, we recommend beginning with Psalms, as the religious faith and zeal demonstrated in its passages is quite impressive. The secular media has long promoted the idea that such strong religiosity is crazy and dangerous, yet consider that there are many secular religions (humanism, socialism, environmentalism) whose followers display zealotry that is just as intense.
We suggest going through the different Psalms and choosing a few that you can return to and review daily. Here are the ones we highly recommend: 18, 23, 62, 91, 116, 119, 136, 139, 145, 147, and 148.
Overall, it is beneficial to read the Bible in its entirety, for it is a good reminder that, no matter how much human life has changed over the centuries, human nature has not. We still face many of the same challenges today (greed, hatred, envy, pride) that we did two thousand years ago. Therefore, the stories and teachings of the past still have great value.
What about the story of Adam and Eve? Is it literally true?
The story of Adam and Eve (the fall of man) is about the pain and suffering that results from disobeying God. Because of their innate innocence (which is shared by all mankind), Adam and Eve lack the ability to discern truth from falsehood. Thus they give in to the temptation of curiosity and bite into the forbidden apple. Their expulsion from the Garden of Eden represents the loss of the perfect state of oneness and a fall to a lower level of consciousness in which suffering now becomes possible. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 391-392)
The story is allegorical and calibrates at 60. While there is wisdom in the lesson about the importance of obeying God and the insight offered about man’s flawed nature, the downside is that it contributed to Christianity’s emphasis on guilt and sin. (Hawkins, 2005, p. 335)
What about creationism vs. evolution? Which one is correct?
There is no difference between the two. Evolution is ongoing creation, and Creationism is ongoing evolution. They are both one and the same. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 119)
The conflict between the two theories stems from the debate about the historical accuracy of the book of Genesis. The truth is that God created the Heavens and the Earth. Whether He did so in seven days or over the course of millions of years is really beside the point.
What about the Ten Commandments?
The Ten Commandments are each individually over 200, but collectively they calibrate at only 199. So why the contradiction?
The problem with the Ten Commandments is that they are rooted in fear. They mostly emphasize what not to do out of fear of incurring God’s wrath. The God of the book of Exodus is clearly a jealous god who is willing to destroy those who disobey him. He even instructs that people should be put to death for committing certain acts.
Also problematic is that God deems the Israelites to be his chosen people. But God would never choose one group of people over another. His love extends to all.
The Sermon on the Mount is a far superior guide for living and for how to best serve God. Its teachings calibrate at 1000.
Muscle testing confirms that Moses was an actual historical figure, but the historical accuracy of Exodus is only at 154. While some of the story is no doubt true, we don’t believe it is in the highest good to include Exodus here or to attempt to salvage the text.
What is the correct way to view Islam?
Islam was founded by the prophet Mohammed. He calibrated at 700 in 610 A.D. when he wrote the Koran (also at 700). Only a few years later, in what must be considered one of history’s greatest tragedies, Mohammed suffered a spiritual fall in which his level of consciousness dropped to 130. He then took up the sword and embraced violence. This is where radical Islam has its roots.
There are different sects of Islam. The highest is Sufism which calibrates at 700. The lowest is Wahhabism which is at 30.
Wahhabism is the underlying belief system of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, HAMAS, and other Islamic terrorist groups. They reject the Koran and have declared war on ninety percent of mankind. They not only embrace death but worship it. Their goal is to establish a world theocracy in which everyone must convert to Islam or be put to the sword. (Hawkins, 2005, pp. 344-348) This puts them in direct conflict with Western civilization in which religious and individual freedom are fundamental tenets.
To pretend, as many have, that these groups do not represent Islam is not only foolish but dangerous. We can condemn radical Islam without condemning all of Islam. There are no easy solutions to this problem, but it is clear that no accommodation or appeasement will be possible.
What is God’s plan for us?
God wants us to grow and evolve and to attain salvation (540 on the Map of Consciousness):
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
But this spiritual goal should not prevent us from living in the world and fully participating in it. For God also wants us to marry and reproduce:
God said to them (male and female), "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28)
Following God’s plan will not be easy. There will at times be hardship, pain, and suffering. There will be sacrifices required. We will often have to forgo short-term pleasure in order to achieve long-term gains.
We are not required to do this. We have the freedom to reject this path if we choose to. But this rejection will ultimately cost us dearly. However, if we follow God’s plan, the amount of joy, happiness, growth, and fulfillment that becomes possible is well beyond our wildest imagination.
In the end, it all boils down to one question:
Are you willing to serve God?
For most people, the answer is no. Most people are only interested in serving themselves. But to serve God? There is no greater honor.
“To Thee, O Lord, I give my life.”
This is the ultimate you can say.
What is God's order for marriage?
Traditionally, the hierarchy in a marriage places God first, the husband second as the head of the household, and the wife subservient to the husband. This calibrates at 504.
Why must the wife be subservient? Because if there is a disagreement on a course of action, someone has to be able to break a tie vote. Otherwise, there is no path forward. Besides, it is in a woman’s nature to want her husband to be the leader in the marriage. When this job falls to her, she is rarely happy.
That the wife should be subservient will sound demeaning to many, but it is important to realize that the husband also serves his wife, just in a different way. And we are not suggesting that the wife should be the husband’s property or his slave. She obeys him but does so willingly out of respect and love.
Today it is commonly believed that husband and wife should be equals. This sounds good in theory. After all, what could be wrong with equality? The Bible provides us with the answer. In regards to marriage:
And the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one. (Mark 10:8)
Two become one. Husband and wife are enjoined. If we can begin to see husband and wife as one entity rather than two separate individuals, complementing each other and working in tandem, each bringing different things to the table, then the issue of equality becomes moot.
The man provides the masculine, the woman the feminine. The masculine provides strength, direction, and intellect and earns wealth. The feminine provides compassion, caring, and nurturing and bears children.
Our obsession with “equality” has caused us to treat the masculine and feminine roles as if they are, for the most part, interchangeable. We have prodded men to take on feminine roles and women to take on masculine ones. We have hailed this as if it is great progress. And yet people are increasingly unhappy.
For example, today the husband no longer has the decision-making authority in the marriage that he once did. This makes him feel emasculated, and his wife finds him less attractive. The same thing usually occurs when the wife works and brings in considerable money to the relationship.
Marriage based on equality calibrates at only 234. Equality has not strengthened marriage. It has weakened it. The answer? We must allow men and women to once again fulfill the roles that God designed them for. Let men be masculine and women be feminine. A husband and wife cannot happily exist as one in any other manner.
Is it true that money is the root of all evil?
Money calibrates at 200, so the answer is no. In regards to the above phrase, the Bible has been misquoted.
Here is what the Bible actually says:
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10)
It is not money but the love of money that is the danger. So while not inherently evil, money does have the potential to corrupt, and many people do indeed succumb to this temptation.
The way to avoid this is by non-attachment. When Jesus said it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, he was referring to those who are attached to money.
Non-attachment simply means that you do not believe you need money. You do not make it your God. You do not make it your master. You are okay with having it, even having lots of it, but you are also okay to do without it if necessary.
How do you develop such an attitude? By having faith and trusting that God will provide you with whatever you need to survive:
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6: 31-33)
The last line of this passage is clear: God must always come first. Placing money ahead of God will likely end in disaster.
Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Does this mean that war can never be justified?
What Jesus said has often been taken out of context. He was referring to how to react to rebukes that occur in everyday life. However, if someone is trying to invade and destroy your country, he would no doubt call for defending it. One of the great paradoxes of life is that sometimes going to war is the only way to ensure peace.
Pre-emptive war calibrates at 496. This is the idea that you take military action against a threat while it is relatively small before it becomes powerful enough to defeat you. If England and France would have taken up arms against Nazi Germany when it first began its territorial aggression, they could have ended the threat with minimal effort. But because they chose appeasement, the end result was tens of millions dead in the most terrible war in human history.
It should be understood that war actually represents a great karmic opportunity for the participants involved. This is not to say that we should desire war, but the idea that war must always be avoided at any and all cost is simply false. (Hawkins, 2003, p. 396)
Should abortion be legal?
Abortion (overall) - 191
Abortion in the first two months of pregnancy - 203
Abortion in the third month of pregnancy - 150
Late-term abortion (from fourth month) - 42
Late-term abortion is murder? True.
Note the extremely low calibration of late-term abortion. Without question, this is murder.
Muscle testing reveals that the spirit enters the womb in the third month of pregnancy. (Hawkins, 2003, pp. 268-269) With this knowledge, we believe abortion can be allowed in the first two months of pregnancy, but to allow it beyond this period is unconscionable.
To be clear, this is merely a toleration of abortion, not an endorsement. We believe legalized abortion has had serious negative consequences for society. It has contributed to the collapse of marriage, an unhealthy sexualized society, and falling birth rates that are below replacement level, all of which will likely lead to huge crises at some point in the future.
It is significant that abortion in the first two months is above 200 but only just barely. We believe this is due to the reasons mentioned above plus the reality that getting an abortion makes having a future miscarriage more likely. Therefore, abortion in the first two months of pregnancy can be tolerated, but it should never be encouraged or celebrated.
Of course, many Christians will disagree with us, and we want to make it clear that we respect the position of those who think abortion should be illegal at any stage of pregnancy. However, we don’t think this will be politically possible anytime in the near future.
Therefore, we believe allowing abortion in the first eight weeks is a sensible compromise that accomplishes the goal of protecting life yet still can appeal to those who support abortion restrictions but not banning it outright.
Is it wrong to eat animals? Can we morally justify the killing of animals in slaughterhouses?
To answer these questions we must go back to Genesis 1:28:
God said to them (male and female), "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Note that this passage doesn’t say that animals are equal to man. It says that man should have dominion over them. But are we morally justified in killing and eating animals for our own benefit? Actually, yes.
We have said that being born into this world is a great karmic opportunity. This isn’t just true for humans; it is also true for animals as well.
In this world, one level of life is often sacrificed to benefit another level. This is often necessary for the latter’s survival. It isn’t immoral. The level of life that is sacrificed acquires good karma as a result.
For example, there are environmentalists who want to prevent cattle from being slaughtered. But that is their purpose for being here. By “saving” them, you would be robbing them of a great karmic opportunity.
This is another reason why we must start to view things from a higher level. Once this happens, we can finally recognize the foolishness of trying to save this or fix that.
The world is perfect as it is. Only when we realize this will we finally know peace.
How accurate is your muscle testing?
No one’s muscle testing is infallible, but any inaccuracies in this book are likely inconsequential. The most important thing is to get the “under 200/over 200” correct, and we are confident this has been accomplished.
What is the calibration of the Holy Christian Bible?
We do not believe it is in the highest good to reveal this. However, we will say that the Lamsa Bible calibrates at 810 (up from 495) when all the negative books are removed. (Hawkins, 2001, p. 63)
Where did you get the text for the Old and New Testament that is used here?
The text used is from the World English Bible which is in the public domain.
Have you altered any of the books?
Yes, we have made edits and alterations. The Lamsa Bible and the New American Standard Bible have been used for reference. Some mistranslations have been corrected (i.e. Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34 in which Jesus on the cross says “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Edits have also been made for purposes of clarity, (i.e. “Yahweh” has been changed to “God” or “The LORD”), personal preference (John the Baptizer has been changed to John the Baptist) or to simply increase the level of truth of the text.
The Lord's prayer in Matthew and Luke has been changed to a modern version that contains the extra line: "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever."
There have also been substantial edits to Psalms and Proverbs.
For Psalms, we have removed Psalms 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 21, 22, 44, 50, 52, 53, 58, 60, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 83, 85, 88, 89, 90, 94, 97, 105, 106, 110, and 137. All of these are inherently negative and almost all are below 200.
In addition, the following Psalms have verses removed:
18 (verses 7-15, 37-38, 40-45, 47, and 50 removed)
27 (verse 9 removed)
69 (verses 17-28 removed)
102 (verse 10 removed)
109 (verses 6-20 removed)
119 (verse 120 removed)
135 (verses 8-12 removed)
136 (verses 10-11 and 13-22 removed)
139 (verses 19-22 removed)
140 (verses 8-11 removed)
143 (verse 12 removed)
Psalms 15, 18, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 40, 55, 56, 61, 67, 86, 96, 102, 103, 111, 112, 115, 118, 119, 128, 130, 135, 145, and 147 have also been edited. Most of these contain lines about having a fear of God. We have changed them so they are about having a love of God. These changes will seem extreme at first glance, but even C.S. Lewis recognized that some of the Psalms were problematic and described them as “terrible.” (Lewis, pp. 23-24, 37)
Regarding Proverbs, chapters 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, and 31 say that one should fear God. We have changed all these to say that one should have a love of God. For most of these, we have simply changed “fear of the LORD” to “love of the LORD.”
We have also made edits to the New Testament regarding verses that refer to the “wrath of God” and the need to fear God:
John 3:36
Romans 1:18, 2:5-8, 5:9, 12:19, 13:4-5
Ephesians 5:6
Colossians 3:6
We have not changed every single verse that mentions fearing God. However, we believe the command to “fear God” can be correctly interpreted as to have a respect and reverence for God, not to be terrified of Him.
***
We realize we will receive much criticism for making these edits. Many will say the words of the Bible are sacred and therefore should be left alone. To this, we respond that anything below 200 is not sacred, and the Bible unfortunately contains a great deal of material that is below 200.
But most of the changes we have made fall into the realm of common sense. Does anyone really believe that changing “fear of the LORD” to “love of the LORD” is a change for the worse? Does anyone really believe that no longer describing God as angry, vengeful, and unforgiving will change Christianity for the worse?
In conclusion, we hope people will realize that none of the changes we have made compromise any of the actual teachings of Jesus. What we have done is remove everything that contradicts those teachings. As a result, we finally have a bible that is truly congruent. If Christianity is to ever experience a revival, if it is to ever live up to its full potential, it needs to be congruent. It needs to be at the highest level of truth possible. And muscle testing provides a fairly reliable compass to make this a reality.
With this new bible, we have both restored Christianity and evolved it at the same time. A new era for Christianity has begun.
Recommendations
Movies
The Big Blue (1988) - With an energy level of 700 (universal truth), this film has the highest calibration of any movie ever made, and viewing it can raise a person’s level of consciousness. The manager of one theater that showed the film reported that some viewers were crying with joy after seeing it. (Hawkins, 1995, p. 173) However, only the U.S. version of the film calibrates at 700. The director’s cut has an inferior music score and only calibrates at 343.
Forrest Gump (1995) - Although it may not calibrate as high as The Big Blue, its energy level of 540 (unconditional love) still makes it a rare and remarkable film. Its simple yet overlooked message is one of non-resistance, that you can achieve amazing things by simply going in whatever direction that life prods you. Most films push the idea of resisting God and society, of going your own way. Forrest Gump is about simply trusting God and going down the path that is laid before you.
Books
We highly recommend the spiritual books of Dr. David R. Hawkins. These include:
Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing Is Hidden
I: Reality and Subjectivity
Transcending the Levels of Consciousness
Truth vs. Falsehood: How To Tell The Difference
Hawkins taught how to reach enlightenment, but he also offered a great deal of valuable information for those who seek unconditional love as well. His books all calibrate extremely high; some are in the 900s.
Hawkins was a pioneer of kinesiology and muscle testing. We want to acknowledge that he was the first to identify the negative books of the Bible and recommend removing them, and his work and research provided much of the foundation that Holy Christianity rests upon. For this, we are forever grateful.
Killing Jesus - This is a history book that details the brutal struggle that was going on in Palestine during the era in which Jesus lived. Because the primary purpose of the Gospels is to reveal the teachings of Christ, they don’t describe the background in which these events take place. Killing Jesus fills in a lot of these gaps. It calibrates at 452.
The Political Teachings of Jesus - This book explores how the teachings of Jesus have come to define much of today’s modern world, and how they have shaped both our government and institutions. The book also does a wonderful job explaining the various parables that Jesus taught. It calibrates at 409.
The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection - This book is the story of Michael Singer who managed to live an amazing life by simply allowing life to be in charge. He simply went in whatever direction that life prodded him, without resistance. In the process, he became incredibly successful in business and also achieved enormous spiritual growth as well. This is a story that will leave you in awe. The book calibrates at 643.
The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom - This 2005 book may be somewhat dated, but it still offers a revealing look into homosexuality, abortion, the collapse of marriage, the decline of public education and other culture war issues. It does a thorough job exposing the many wolves in sheep’s clothing that threaten every society. The book calibrates at 499.
A Patriot’s History of the United States - This is quite simply one of the best history books about America ever written. It doesn’t whitewash America’s flaws, but it does present them in their proper context. It makes an outstanding case for America’s greatness. This is a book that should be used in every school classroom. It calibrates at 495.
