Power of Unconditional Love

Maslow's hierarchy of needs[1] is famous as a framework for recognizing people.

And I want to share another useful framework for such a purpose. That is the Map of Consciousness proposed in the book Power vs Force by David R. Hawkins.[2] Just check the "Level" and "Log" columns to simply the map. The Courage (Log: 200) is the border to be positive. Less than equal to Pride (Log: 175) or less than Courage (Log: 200) is negative. The "positive" means the energy affects self and others positively. It is called "Power", The "negative" means the energy affects self and others negatively. It is called "Force".

The higher level of consciousness or emotion is more powerful with higher energy.

People at each level behave differently with their good intentions, and people at a level less than Courage (Log: 200) may do something that affects other people negatively by their good intentions.

Mahatma Gandhi[3] and Mother Teresa[4] are described as people with high levels of consciousness in the book Power vs Force[2].

I read the story of Mother Teresa. When she moved to India and walked in an area where poor people existed. Someone stole her bread saying "I am hungry. I haven't eaten anything for 3 days.". It's difficult to judge a person's behavior is good or bad. Because the person just did it to fulfill the person's desire to survive. If another person whose safety need is not fulfilled, it's an option to hurt other people just to protect oneself. If another person has a fear of being poor or death or blaming others, stealing is an option to protect oneself from the fear.

I learned that we shouldn't judge any behaviors of others from Mother Teresa's book. They are just doing "good" things with good intentions on each level of the consciousness.

People with a consciousness level less than Courage (Log: 200) are the ones who need unconditional love (Log: 500). In my interpretation, people in the negative field show different negative behaviors sending signals of needing unconditional love.

Mahatma Gandhi's "nonviolence" is to endure the disrespect and violence from other people, but forgive them with love. Gandhi called it "Brave's nonviolence".

I would like to cite Mother Teresa's words from a book about her[5].

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
Load, may I not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
Because it is in giving that we receive,
in pardoning that we are pardoned."

Please give me the capability to give my unconditional love to everyone, and heal and empower everyone as a catalyst.

According to the Power vs Force, people's consciousness level is increasing little by little. However, I believe that optimizing people's health by understanding their bodies and eating proper food can increase people's consciousness levels dramatically. That's one of the reasons why I focus on Functional Medicine, Precision Nutrition, Naturopathic Medicine, etc to optimize their health from not disease but not healthy into the best healthy.

Reflecting on 2023

This article reflects on the last year 2023. This is the 2023 version of my past article about the 2022 version. Note that I can not share some topics here for some reasons such as a private topic, a controversial topic, or a financial topic prohibited from being shared publicly in regulation. This is why I would prioritize my real and in-person experiences more than the online ones. You can check my aritcle about the topic. Some of the ideas come from the book Effortless.

Throwing and cleaning

I would start with this topic. Because this is one of the most important things affecting my life. In 2023, I ended some things that I started around 10 or more than 10 years ago. These were things I was drained with. So, I fixed the root cause. And I am happy now.

  • I stopped using a domain that I took more than 10 years ago.
  • I ended some things that I started around 10 or more than 10 years ago by traveling.
  • I continuously improve my tools by updating them and importantly throwing those. It is related to this article.

Moving to a place where I can achieve with effortless

I moved to a new place where I can be empowered in the summer. I struggled with the regular issues in my previous flat. The new flat is more expensive than my previous flat. But it is well-maintained beautifully. The area is much better with nice, polite, and gentle people that I would like to meet, and there are many nice cafes and restaurants near my flat. I wanted to move to a place where there are inspired people. This is a very interesting and artistic place. The action changing my living place affected me a lot about the quality of my life. I am empowered by living in this flat in this area.

Bio: Genome and biological tests

In 2023, I got the SNPs result of my Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test by the company called Nebula Genomics. Then I tried other genome tests using my genome data.

Then I attended one clinical event in Functional Medicine also called Precision Nutrition or Precision Medicine in Japan. The genome (SNPs) test describes a part of the things related to the human body. Understanding and improving my biological status through biological tests is important. Improving biological conditions is the first priority. Then after that, I can use the results of the SNPs tests to make my health better.

For example, no matter if I have some SNPs affecting some metabolic pathways, and my SNPs are meaningless if I eat unhealthy junk foods. So, first I need to check my body with biological tests and visualize what's happening. Then when I can see my body is okay, I can utilize the result of my SNP tests. This topic is called Functional Medicine, or Precision Nutrition or Precision Medicine. This is not mainstream in the current medical. But there are always new ideas or technologies starting by hidden such in the context of technology life cycle. And I would like to go to the early stage of the ideas or technologies. Remember that the personal computer culture started as a counter-culture by hippies in a place where it is far from the central authority.

I learned a theory or strategy for describing the big picture of biological and genome (SNPs) tests. The MosaicDX is great with some tests and resources. I am learning with this site. I am trying to apply the Organic Acid (OAT) test and IgG Food Map test.

Open source software

I started to work as a co-maintainer for Ruby language's OpenSSL library in a category called FIPS in 2023.

Open source hardware

I had ongoing activities in the Framework community in 2023.

Studying Czech language

In November 2023, I tried the Czech language A2 level examination. Unfortunately, I was not able to pass it. However, I continue to study it.

Books

I was inspired by the book Power vs Force - David Howkins the most in 2023. Affected to the book, I also read books about Mahatma Gandhi and communicated with some people who wanted money on the street.
