✍️ Hawkins, David RA forty-four card deck offering daily contemplative entry points based on David R. Hawkins's consciousness research.
Designed as a physical card deck rather than a bound book, this set translates the core concepts of Power vs. Force into forty-four daily entries. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., spent his career researching consciousness, directing The Institute for Spiritual Research, Inc., and lecturing at institutions such as Harvard University, Westminster Abbey, the Oxford Forum, and the University of Notre Dame. He also advised Protestant churches, Catholic churches, and Buddhist monasteries. This collection extracts key themes from his chapter writings, giving readers a simple format to examine how human energy operates.
Created by David R. Hawkins, who lived from 1927 to 2012, this work draws on his background in consciousness research and spiritual advisement across Christian and Buddhist institutions. Published by Hay House LLC in October 2024, the deck brings his twentieth-century research into a modern card format.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While effective for its target audience of self-help enthusiasts, this deck may frustrate readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or complex theological debate. It is not suited for skeptics who demand empirical evidence over subjective experience, nor for those who prefer abstract philosophy over practical application. The simplicity that makes it accessible also limits its depth for advanced practitioners. However, as a standalone tool for emotional awareness, it succeeds in its goal of making Hawkins’s core ideas tangible and usable for daily contemplation.
