The truth, whether you like it or not. I believe it, sometimes it's self-evident and it's been both humbling and uplifting- but mostly humbling with me being egocentric.

Truthful book, negative reviews seem to stem from political bias.
Review written by: Interesting Reader From
I was reading a lot of the reviews, and most of the negative reviews seem to be because Hawkins' writings doesn't agree with the particular reviewers political stance, a couple of which are coming from those claiming to be "non-political". One of the points they sight is Hawkins' thoughts on the Iraq war.

Lets look at the Iraq war for a moment on whether Hawkins is correct in the justification and truth and integrity of that situation. A couple of years back one would concluded that it was a terrible situation. But look at it now, it had planted the seeds of democracy in the Middle East to the point where the people of Iran next door to Iraq are rising up against their radical Muslim leadership and starting to cause a revolution. A situation which would have been a lot less possible had this not occurred. So was Hawkins right or not about the truth and integrity and justification on the Iraq war? From what is happening right now with the inclusive effect of what it is causing in Iran, the enlightenment it is bringing to that dark corner of the world, only the most politically biased will go against Hawkins' insights.

Some may nit pick at the causes of it, they argue that it was done for political gain, but why do something politically risky if it was for gain only. I believe (as Hawkins calibrates) that the intentions for going into Iraq were good ones. The barometer of what makes something ultimately good is the positive effects to further enlightenment in the world, as we can see in this situation. Would an emergence of democracy in the Middle East be good for the United States and the world in general, is it something that resonates with universal truth, the answer is an obvious yes.

I also believe the reason for a lot of the negative reviews here is attachment to their egos, they had picked a political position investing their emotions into it, thus they believe they must be right about it no matter what, --at the expense of finding truth. ...And for the record I think both Bush and Obama are good presidents. I have learned not to let my political bias get in the way of truth if I am to seek the path of enlightenment. I strongly agree with one reviewer, just because you didn't like the calibrations of certain things doesn't make them false.

I have read all of Dr. Hawkins books and I attend his lectures, I consider him the most important spiritual teacher of our time.

The truth hurts
Review written by: James D From FL. USA
Most people who have written all those one star reviews have obviously not read the book in detail or his other works because their information is falsehood. Just because I didn't like the calibrations of certain things doesn't make them false. The truth sometimes hurts badly. I highly recommend this book even though I didn't like some of the answers either.

A lot of ego's will be kicking and screaming
Review written by: N. Hilton From
It seems that most people that do not agree with this book are ideologs, specifically liberals. I am not on here to blast liberalism and support conservativism, i try to stay away from politics. I don't believe Hawkins supports conservativism just because it calibrates in the 400's and disagrees with libaralism (cal. 200-300's). He actually says to do what ever calibrates over 200. Conservatism is based on logic and reason, and most liberal views are based on emotions. This makes sense given the calibrations of each ideology. If you are a truth seeker, then you will just accept the calibrations and move on. I know this is the last thing the ego is willing to accept. Once you transcend the ego, all of these numbers will not matter to you any way.
