Is There Common Sense?
Truth vs Falsity
A friend once said, “common sense doesn’t exist.” This made me realize that common sense isn’t universal—it’s shaped by our level of consciousness.
Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness offers a framework for understanding how consciousness influences perception—how we interpret our reality. He developed a scale from 0 to 1000, linking different levels of consciousness to emotions, beliefs, and worldviews. The scale ranges from lower destructive states like shame, desire, and pride to elevated states like love, peace, and joy—each reflecting a shift in conscious awareness.
Hawkins’ research distinguishes between Truth—aligned with courage, willingness, and acceptance—and Falsity, which stems from force, manipulation, and deceit. Based on extensive research and muscle testing (kinesiology), he calibrated this scale, revealing that the human mind lacked a clear way to differentiate Truth (Power: 200 – 1000) from Falsity (Force: 0 – 199).
His findings show that 85% of people calibrate below 200, where guilt, anger, and fear dominate, while only 15% calibrate above, embodying courage, willingness, and reason. The higher-energy minority counterbalances the lower-energy majority, preventing humanity from self-destruction—evidence of the profound energetic influence of those at or above the 200 level of consciousness. Meanwhile, those below 200 (85% of the world’s population) often rely on control and force, which requires external laws to regulate behavior.
For context, Hawkins measured the collective consciousness of nations and found that some calibrate below 200. In these societies, for example, kindness is often seen as weakness. This helps explain why certain cultures or individuals display moral indifference, while others find such behavior unthinkable.
Because everything is energy, Hawkins proposed that history, ideas, and even nations can be measured on this scale. This reinforces that common sense varies by consciousness level. For instance, someone at 250 (neutrality) perceives logic very differently than someone at 125 (desire), as our interpretation of reality is shaped by our conscious awareness.
Understanding this scale allows you to navigate people and situations with greater ease. The intention to raise your consciousness energetically sets you on this path, naturally drawing you toward individuals with higher calibrations and steering you away from chaos. This awareness enables you to discern where to invest your energy, aligning with sources that promote growth. You might attract a more compassionate doctor, avoid a power-driven politician, and break free from repetitive toxic relationships.
Recognizing that people operate at different levels of consciousness frees you from the frustration of trying to change or convince others to see things your way. Instead of judging, observe—seeing people as they are, without attachment or expectation for them to align with your idea of what is “better” or “true.” This helps you respond with awareness rather than emotion, staying grounded in Spirit instead of reacting from ego (mind and emotions). As a result, you become sovereign—no longer dependent on anyone or anything to make you feel safe or validated.
When others operate at a lower level of consciousness, you transcend the situation by allowing them to be. You respond with awareness or choose not to engage, practice self-care by releasing the need to be justified and reflect on why you attract certain experiences. As self-awareness deepens, you reclaim your power, transcend unconscious patterns, and experience reality in clearer, kinder, and more loving ways.
And guess what? As your consciousness rises, you uplift not just yourself, but the world around you.
