What is the map of consciousness?
The map of consciousness is a calibrated list of the human spectrum of available consciousness levels. The map provides a way to align with higher states, enabling greater happiness, freedom, and the ability to effect change.
It is the first and, to my knowledge, the only calibration of consciousness. David Hawkins created it, and you can learn more from his books.
The map has 17 levels, from Shame at the lowest to Enlightenment at the highest. Each level has several properties, including an energetic log providing a numerical scale that can be used as an absolute measure of the power of consciousness.
Other properties include how one sees life, experiences or expresses God, and, importantly, how much influence one has as a change-maker, expressed as the number of people impacted.
This drawing shows some of the properties of each level.

This is demonstrated by clear objectives and bold statements that seem to show a certain and unwavering direction. The attributes of always having to be right are a symptom of a workforce operating from a fear consciousness." ??
