The Map of Consciousness
Some of you might have heard of the Map of Consciousness. If so, you can skip this post. For those of you who haven't heard of it, hang on.
This map was developed by a gentleman by the name of David R, Hawkins. He gives the major emotions we experience a vibratory rate, much like an electrical frequency. This map starts with the very bottom emotion, that of shame, being at a level of 20. Since shame is so low, it is the emotion that is the closest to death, and therefore, anytime you 'shame' someone, or tell them 'Shame on you' what you are actually doing is wishing them death. Or the closest thing. Twenty is not a very high number on the rate of vibratory frequencies, so I try to stay away from attaching that label to anything in my world. Sometimes we do it out of cultural norms, and sometimes we do it because we actually think that making someone feel the shame of their actions will help them improve. Possible, I guess, but it is a rather bass-ackward way of doing it.
The map goes up in steps - guilt is 30, apathy is 50, grief is 75. These are the lowest of the emotions in terms of vibrations. From there it goes to fear, at 100. Which tells you that if you move from shame or guilt to fear, you've moved up a little.
Desire is 125. That doesn't seem very high for something that some might think as a positive emotion, although if you think about desire - it is just a manifestation of things that you don't have. It leads to craving, additions, continual searching for something that you feel you must have. Then if you don't get it, the next step up is anger at 150. The last of the lower emotions is pride, coming in at 175. These emotions mentioned are considered survival emotions. A rather animalistic viewpoint of them, experiencing these emotions is normal in human behavior, although remaining in any of these emotions is not healthy. These emotions tend to degrade the personal experience and life of the person running these scripts. And they are scripts, they can be changed.
Moving into emotions of reason and integrity are courage at 200, neutrality at 250, willingness at 310, acceptance at 350, and reason at 400. Most people consider these emotions praiseworthy and noble. And they are higher than the lower, survival emotions. Although, let's go one more step into the spiritual emotions.
Love clocks in at 500, joy at 540, peace at 600 and enlightenment at 700-1000. For those of you who are visual, do a search for the 'map of consciousness' to get a better understanding of these emotions.
It is said that one person who vibrates at a level of 400 and above helps to counterbalance the energy from those who vibrate at a lower level. The higher your vibration, the more counterbalancing you are providing the earth.
This is a short tutorial, and only a backdrop of the information David Hawkins provides in his book, Power vs. Force. A great read, although many people on line describe this book if you don't have access to it.
Being aware of your emotional state is the first step in being able to change any emotion that holds you down. Yes, emotions can hold us down. A person who is always angry is not going to get the job of helping customers. A person who is moved to compassion would most likely be better able to handle such a job. Being aware of areas in your emotional makeup that you would like to improve is the first step in changing that emotional roller coaster we all ride on from time to time. Look at the map of consciousness, and find out where you place yourself. It doesn't have to be 100% of the time, as we all get angry or grieve, or experience other emotions. The goal is to get through these experiences, learn from them, and move on.
Awareness is the first key, desire and willingness to change are the second key. There is never a need to stay in a low vibrational emotion for any amount of time more than is absolutely necessary.
