David hawkins on lust being a low vibration and how this can help you with semn retention.

In Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, David R. Hawkins introduces the Map of Consciousness, a scale that ranks human emotions and states of being from 1 to 1000. This scale reflects different levels of consciousness and vibration—lower levels are associated with negative, limiting emotions, while higher levels represent expansive, enlightened states. Lust as a Low-Vibration Emotion Hawkins places lust at a relatively low vibration of 125 on his scale—below the threshold of courage (200), which marks the beginning of true personal power. Lust is considered a lower vibration because it is rooted in desire, attachment, and external validation. Rather than coming from within, it seeks fulfillment from outside sources. Why Is Lust Considered a Lower Vibration? Lust tends to carry certain characteristics that keep it at a lower vibrational level: Attachment & Neediness – It often comes from craving and dependency on external things, like people, objects, or experiences. Lack of Inner Fulfillment – It arises from a sense of lack rather than a feeling of wholeness within oneself. Short-Term Gratification – It provides momentary pleasure but rarely leads to lasting satisfaction or inner peace. Potential for Manipulation – When unchecked, it can lead to obsession, control, and even unethical behavior. How to Transcend Lust Hawkins suggests that moving beyond the lower vibration of lust requires a shift in consciousness: Raising Awareness – Recognizing how lust-driven behaviors impact your energy and overall well-being. Cultivating Inner Fulfillment – Shifting focus from external gratification to self-love, contentment, and personal growth. Embracing Higher States of Love & Acceptance – Moving from desire-based attachment (125) to unconditional love (500) through spiritual development and self-awareness. "To understand this concept, you must internalize the idea that lust is a low vibration. Whenever you feel it, remind yourself that you no longer wish to live in that state—you aspire to be greater and better."
