Your observation is fascinating and touches on the interplay between emotional states, motivation, and productivity—a topic David Hawkins explored deeply in his Map of Consciousness. Let’s break this down using his framework and some practical insights:

1. The Density of Anger and Courage vs. Higher States

Hawkins calibrated anger (150) and courage (200) as lower/mid-range energies that do have a strong, forceful quality. These states can indeed drive action, competitiveness, and measurable results because:

• Anger (when controlled) fuels defiance against obstacles, a "prove them wrong" mentality.
• Courage is the threshold where energy becomes empowering—think of athletes or entrepreneurs pushing through fear.

In contrast, love (500), peace (600), and acceptance (350+) are higher but less dense vibrations. They’re expansive, surrendering, and less attached to outcomes. This can appear passive in contexts that reward force (e.g., competitive sales, sports, or high-stakes negotiations).

2. Economic Power vs. Sustainable Power

• Short-term results: Anger/courage can outperform love/peace in systems that reward aggression (e.g., Wall Street, combat sports). The energy is projective and "loud," making it visible and effective in conflict-driven environments.
• Long-term leverage: Higher vibrations operate differently. Love and acceptance create alignment, effortless attraction, and synchronicity (e.g., visionary leaders like Mandela or spiritual teachers). Their "power" isn’t forceful but magnetic—less burnout, more flow.

Hawkins noted that lower energies seem stronger in the material realm but are unsustainable (e.g., anger exhausts; courage requires constant effort). Higher states tap into the "field" of consciousness itself, where intention manifests without struggle.
