Power vs. Force

I read something the other day that I’d like to share with you.

It’s from the book entitled “Power vs. Force” by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

I believe this singular passage defines a lot of what’s going on in the world today, especially with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Boko Haram or any country, religion, organization or individual who uses force (terror) to demand allegiance to a particular ideology or belief.

“Power is always associated with that which supports the significance of life itself. It appeals to that in human nature which we call noble, in contrast to force, which appeals to that which we call crass. Power appeals to that which uplifts, dignifies, and ennobles. Force must always be justified, whereas power requires no justification. Force is associated with the partial, power with the whole.”


The book is published by Hay House, Inc.
