The Map of Consciousness identifies consciousness (on this planet) on a scale of 0 to 1000 with anger, fear, anxiety, rage, etc., catalyzing the lower end of the scale, and Love, Joy, Peace and Understanding engendering the upper end of the scale. States of enlightenment are at the top.

This range of values-along with a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1,000-became the, which Dr. David R. Hawkins first wrote about in his best-selling book, With the Map, Dr. David R. Hawkins laid out the entire spectrum of consciousness, from the lower levels of Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Fear, Anger, and Pride; to Courage, Acceptance, and Reason; all the way up to the more expanded levels of Love, Ecstasy, Peace, and Enlightenment.

With the Map, Dr. David R. Hawkins laid out the entire spectrum of consciousness, from the lower levels of Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Fear, Anger, and Pride; to Courage, Acceptance, and Reason; all the way up to the more expanded levels of Love, Ecstasy, Peace, and Enlightenment. These "higher" energy fields are a carrier wave of immense life energy.

The Map of Consciousness is a numerical scale whereby one can measure positive from negative, power from force and truth from falsehood. Dr. Hawkins believes that every word, every thought, and every intention creates what is called a morphogenetic field, or attractor field, and that these energy fields can be measured by a very simple process.
