We give thanks to Thee, O Lord, for Thy Loving Presence. The Lord is Present as all of us.

The Lord is Present as us! (laughs) Did you think It was going to be other than the Reality
of that which you are? Divinity is the essence of that which we are. Theres no point of
looking out there for It when you are the manifestation of that which It is.

Thus, we are all children of God by virtue of our identity. All of us have the same last name -
God! Wow! So hidden by the ego is the awareness of the Reality of That which we are. As
we give up the ego, the Reality of That which we are stands forth, overwhelmingly
Prominent, All Prevailing, all Present, all Eternal, all Powerful, all Gracious, all Loving, all
Forgiving.

The Source of Joy is within you. Theres no point in going after God out there. Its God
within that you seek. The Realization of the Divinity of your own existence; nothing exists
without the Will of God. Your existence is the manifestation of the Will of God. You are the
expression of God as It is in this world at this moment. Wow!

And thats why we start our meetings with Gloria in Excelsis Deo, all thanks be to Thee, O
Lord, most High. Those who surrender themselves to Me, said the Lord, are Mine. Those
who turn to me said Krishna are mine. To those of us who turn to Jesus; I will be your
advocate before the Lord. Whether we turn to Jesus, Krishna or Buddha we are asking for
the awareness of a reality that already exists.

How can salvation be in the future when time is just an illusion. Salvation is here and now.
All of us who turn to God are already saved. Divinity is eternal. The only time that is, is now.
Your Soul is eternal.

Merely to be here is to justify ones Salvation. Thank you for being here. You are my Joy.
All of you here today are Gods Gift to me.

Let go of trying to change and control other people.

How other people are is none of my business, though we certainly think it is! We lament, If
only they'd change, then I could be happy! Other people are going to be the way they're
going to be. But my responsibility is to choose how I'm going to be. Easier said than done. It
takes constant vigilance/practice. It's always my choice. And it's always only about MY
choices.

Be modest with opinions.

You don't need an opinion about anything. We can stand back from society. Our opinions
don't mean anything! I don't give a rap about what people's opinions are! I don't even give a
rap about my own opinion!

Keep SERENITY as a goal.

Divinity is that quality of consciousness called Unconditional Love. It is concerned for the
welfare of others. And flows from inner serenity. Which needs nothing from anyone. Only he
who needs nothing from others can be Unconditionally Loving

Avoid activism and pedantry.

The best thing you can do for others is to sit down and shut up. (Unless your guidance is to
stand up and speak up; i.e. Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., etc

Be wary of do-gooders.

They like politics and like controlling other people.

Judge NOT lest ye be judged.

People can't help themselves because of their inner limitations in consciousness. In reality, if
I could've done better, I would've done better. And, keep in mind that accepting FACTS is
not judgmentalism.

Renew thankfulness and gratitude.

We can't be depressed and choosing an attitude of gratitude at the same time.

Love then becomes progressively unconditional.

Love then becomes lovingness;

lovingness is a way of being in the world.

Your lovingness radiates out to everything

without selection, without intention,

just because that is your way of good-will towards all of life

How to maintain this in the choppy seas of todays world

you stay in a contemplative attitude

which is good-will towards all of life.

The willingness to forgive instead of condemn;

 the refusal of the seduction of becoming positionalized.

==

Very often the beginning student, the more nave person,

thinks that spirituality means passivity;

passivity to just lay down and let them walk over you...

Passivity actually calibrates quite low about 190.

No, the requirement as I comprehend it,

is that you have to be willing to have the courage

to stand for truth.

Its not enough to just say, Oh, Im very spiritual,

and lay down as mayhem happens around you.

On the contrary, you must stand for integrity,

stand for truth, as you understand it.

This may even require action, to actively stand for truth,

when its being threatened and assaulted on all sides.

So it requires something of courage and bravery...

==

The world you see doesnt even exist, its all a perception.

Well, if youre at consciousness level 720 thats a fact,

but if youre not at 720 that would be an artificial pretense.

No, you participate in the world;

if you think helping somebody drowning

is whats required, then thats what you do.

Dr. David R. Hawkins, Discovery, Audio N.C.

"Invocation... 'I ask Almighty God thru his son, Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to be at
my side as I try to overcome this limitation which is consequent to being a human.'

That is POWERFUL..it is not necessary to go to the depths of hell. Eternal agony is not
required. That's what it took for this ego to surrender....Somehow the ego escaped and was
ferocious. It would take u to the depths of hell.... That should not be necessary because of
the advancement of consciousness, information available now, teachers available,
recontextualization of the field, the pathway, it should not ever be necessary to reach such
an extreme depth. Yes. Gloria. In Excelsis. Deo.

Write down all your faults.

Write down all the faults others think you have, even if you think theyre liars.

Even if they see you that way and you are not that way you take responsibility.

You take responsibility for it all.

......

If you own it all, nobody has any way to attack you.

If others attack you, its because youre not owning something.

People intuit where you have got a chink; and that's what they go for.

If you are being abused by people in various ways it's because you are

attracting it by something that you are not owning something about yourself.

Besides, theres nothing wrong with being stupid and ugly. (Laughing)

So we admit our faults, and we stop labeling them faults.

We have to get over narcissistic sensitivity.

All negative reactions are not caused from outside; it's how we choose.

The way to become bulletproof is to own any negativitythat you can

even imagine might apply to yourself.

.......

When you are going to accept that

you run into the ego

the way to overcome the ego's reaction to that is to say,

I'm stupid and ugly!? It doesnt matter; God loves me anyway.

Q: Anything else regarding projecting values onto people ?
A: The reality behind it is the absolute perfection of all that exists. Focus there, pray about
the capacity to discern the perfection of everything, even as the killer comes towards you .
Try to see the perfection of all that exists. Stop describing things. The reality of that which
something is , is what it is. That is its essence. How you feel about it and how you see it
that is a perception. In spiritual reality, you focus more and more on essence and less and
less on experience. There is what something is , and there is your projection of it .

~ Doc, February 2007

Q: What qualities are of major help to a devotee other than familiarity with advanced
spiritual/consciousness information?

A: Adopt the attitudes associated with Higher Mind and select any of the virtues. Refuse or
reject negative attitudes or positions. Act in a gracious manner in all circumstances towards
oneself and others. Reject the violation of spiritual principles for short-term gain. Create an
idealized image of yourself and practice it as if for a movie role. Acting as if brings to
awareness the potentiality to actually become that which is admired. As a learning device, it
is often surprisingly effective to pretend to be the quality that is desired, and then, much to
ones surprise, discover that it has been a nonactivated aspect of ones own potentiality.
Many people make self-improvement the number one priority in their lives and identify with
admired figures instead of envying them.

As a practical exercise, before leaving the house, review how one would like oneself to be
and decide to act that way. In so doing, note the response of others to ones being friendly,
considerate, gracious, or loving. Decline seduction and temptation by that which is tawdry
and sensational. Surrender the dubious pleasure of getting even or getting the best of a
deal in emotional interchanges. As a pleasant exercise, consciously and purposely allow
other people to win and thus discover ones own inner greatness and generosity. To be
emotionally stingy creates emotional poverty. Every win that one gives others paradoxically
makes one richer, and by practice, one ends up emotionally wealthy.

the very end exceeded the limit, so here it is:

The Satanic temptation can include sex. There is a grain of truth in saying that sex is holy,
but the context is off.

Some people say the spiritual and the secular are the same thing, and from a certain
abstract perceptuality that is true. But the motivation behind it is to get at someones money.

David R. Hawkins
Realization of the Self: The Final Moments" 2002
Q: "What is your understanding of the core of the ego?"

A: "It is pride beyond all else. Pride in the form of the vanity of thought, mentation, concepts,
and opinions are all the basis of ignorance. The antidote is radical humility, which undoes
the domination of perception. Ask for truth to be revealed instead of assuming that you
already know it. The mind is not capable of actually knowing anything at all! It can only
presume to know 'about'.
"Without profound humility you wont have the courage to make the last step. Made a
decision to turn our will and very life itself over to God---at this moment the Zen teaching
"Walk straight ahead no matter what", and the faith of the vibrational field of the Guru came
back and I knew I could place even my life in the truth of that saying.

Therefore a teacher should prepare you for what will arise. Made a decision to turn our will
and our very life itself in the case of enlightenment. And at that point God is the unknown. To
turn what you believe most profoundly and intrinsically is the source and essence of your life
to the unknown requires great faith and humility."

~Doc 08/2003

A decent heartfelt regret does indeed undo the past, O Lord. Amen. Resist. It does
indeed undo the past in one instant! That's all it takes. ..you can stop ruminating and
trying to rewrite the past. You are lying in bed- I should have said this, I shouldn't
have said that...... (laughs) So the past was a learning program... The point of that
learning was to have a decent regret about it and let it go. I don't want to hear other
people's chains dragging. They come up to me after lecture and they want to tell me-
Oh I did this.... then she died and I wasn't there .............. I say to the lady, "Cut it
out..! Don't drag me along with your sad story. ...." Those are people who wallow in
the past because of the juices ego is getting out of it.......Sack clothes and ashes!
...Drama! .... You are also trying to control God and tell him what to do. Forgive you
because look how you suffer. That's blackmail! ... lot of people try to blackmail God
with suffering. You realize how that is a control issue, isn't it? God is this awful
parent... if you just suffer and wallow in guilt, .. He will forgive you. You don't have to
manipulate God because God is a condition-- non-manipulable like a giant
electrostatic field. Alright, that's the past. The future then is surrendering to the will of
God completely with no reservation. ..that's a way of being in the world.... it's letting
go of wanting to control the world, control the future. If you have a negative view of
the world, you expect the worst in the future and you being to plan for the worst
because you are extrapolating...projecting out there what you think you are. Don't
think what you are at all. Just be what you are and don't think about it. How can you
just be what you are? You can do it in one instant. Be willing to accept what I am
saying to you right now with no reservation. Isn't that easy?......So we accept things
on faith.... To completely surrender one's will to God means, whatever happens in
the future, happens in the future. Don't worry about the mind going silent and leaving
you stranded. I get letters like that all the time- I am meditating and my mind gets
silent and that scares me because how will I survive. Well, maybe you won't!
(laughter) I don't know what she wants to survive for. She is all the way home. I
mean, why not just be there? What about the kids? Let God worry about the kids....
this week one came that way... we said, Let God worry about the kids. If you bliss
out, you bliss out....Children are okay. Don't worry about it... we let go wanting to
change the past ...we let go wanting to control the future. When that's done in a
profound depth, one realizes that you are safe.

God really doesnt need verbalization. God gets the intention about. The verbalization is
putting it in the linear. Therefore I advise to live one's life as a mudra. In other words: when
you get up in the morning you picture yourself this way to Divinity (Doc opens his hands with
the palms upwards) and Divinity just got it. You can try to nonverbal it as a way of being
instead of verbalizing. You yourself become the supplication without verbalizing it. Nonverbal
supplication. Let's say, the kitty comes up to me and goes (Doc looks like a kitty begging for
benefit and after that he pets an imaginary cat) (laughter) What can you do? (laughter)
Pretend to be a big kitty and just purr up a storm just to be that way.to God. Nonverbal

"The way to finesse what you need to know is not in the form of a question, but in the form of
a statement, and then you surrender this to God. You say, I don't know what to do about so
and so, and then you just surrender that to God. This is it, and then you let it go. Next day
you're driving down the parkway and all of the sudden, out of nowhere,(an answer). So, you
turn your life over to the Field, to the the Infinite Field, and the Infinite Field then handles
everything. You just say, Well God, I don't know."

In response to the question about the "voice for God" in the context of ACIM, after banging
the table and making other funny sounds, Dr. Hawkins says,

"In all that exists, as it expresses itself to you, everything is divinity. That's how you see the
beauty that exists in everything. Divinity reveals itself as exquisite beauty of all that exists.
The presence of God is innate within sound as well. All sound is the voice of God. You intuit
the presence of God in all that exists, all that speaks, all that stands, all that falls, all that
breathes, all that sings. There is no other voice."

The important thing about the spiritual pathway is that you are on the spiritual pathway.
That's the only thing that's important about it. That's all that's important. That you are
oriented this way to the wind, and as the wind comes around, like a windmill, you will turn
with the wind. So the speed of the windmill is not what's important. The fact that you turn to
the wind. I have a windmill at home and sometimes it spins fast and sometimes it spins slow.
When it spins fast, it doesn't mean it's a better windmill. So your orientation is what you
want. Stay orientated to the wind. So spiritual impetus and suggestions and occasions, you
are like open, open to them. Alright?

Were like a bunch of birds that tend to swoop onto this planet together and were all gonna
be swooping off together. And in that timescale 50 years one way or the other doesnt count.
You know what I mean? A few birds get to the island first and some get there oblately, but
generally.. You can see, because we are all here right now obviously we belong to some
kind of a large overall grouping. All of us here present belong to a karmically comparable to
a migration of birds resist. (Tests Yes) Yeah, were all a grouping, eh. We come on the
planet together, we evolve for a while, share a lot of stuff, then we go back to the other side,
and we come back on again. So weve all been together before. Isnt that nice to know? Hm,
yeah. I thought I remembered that one guy from the.. (laughs) 1492 I think it was. Ive always
had that intuitive knowingness. We come on, we somehow swoop, like tends to go to like,
you see. Were all alike in our essence and of course some are bigger birds than other
birds. Some have better feathers and all. (audience laughs) Which of course is not fair, but
somebodys got to be called Shorty ya know? So I volunteered. They said We need a few
more Shortys to go back to the planet. and I said Ok Ill be a Shorty. (laughs) Were a
pretty committed group even on the other side. Were a pretty committed group on the other
side. Resist (Tests as Yes). As we said theres a lot of areas of Heaven. And we dont hang
out in the lazy Heaven. (laughs). Thats all them lazy ones just hang out there listening to the

worker bees. (more laughter).

Rare it is to be born a human and to have heard of enlightenment. Rarest of all- to be born a
human, to have heard it, and then to seek it. Yeah? And those who call upon me are dear to
me, said Krishna. The 91st Psalm says the same thing. Those who place all their faith in me,
the miraculous shall be spread before them. You see? The same thing is said in all great
religions. Those who call upon divinity, surrender their lives to the service of divinity, you
become dear to divinity. And divinity looks after its own. Maybe the 10 % [previously in the
lecture, Dr. Hawkins had calibrated that even though everyone in the audience is destined
for enlightenment, only 90% are likely to get there] is unwilling to do that. They wish to keep
it as the function of the personal will. You see? [They say] Enlightenment will be when I want
it!

No! Enlightenment may be never. Is that okay with you? If I am God and I say, you surrender
your enlightenment to me. And it may not happen at all. Is that okay?If it's okay not to
become enlightened, now you have earned the right to become enlightened.

The reason is just stuck in 400s because, you see, the reason in and of itself calibrates at
400, but when you use reason as a means of pursuing God, pursuing spiritual intention, then
you have sanctified the intellect. You are not just using it for its own egoistic..Therefore, you
can sanctify your intellect. You say, For Thee, O Lord, do I try to understand and incorporate
these teaching that they may bring me closer to Thee, O Lord. So you can sanctify the mind,
you see, which is different than a secular mind which is only looking to squeeze the gain out
of the information. So how is that? We will sanctify the mind collectively. O Lord, we do
surrender our collective minds to Thy service so we may be the fulfillment of Thy potential in
this domain, in this dimension. Amen. It's okay to be an intellectual!

At any time you can say, Dear God, I need your help, Im lost. Are you willing to surrender

"I want you to live in such a way that your life is a prayer. I want you to live your life in such
a way that you have no anxiety at all about meeting God. Are you willing to be answerable
for who you are and what you've done with what you are? What more can you ask? What
more can you ask, that I live in such a way that frankly I am not scared of talking to God. I
have done everything I can in every direction here. I have pushed myself to the limit to be the
fulfillment of my potential. That relieves me of all guilt because now I can make a mistake.
Yes, I make a mistake, but in the overall context, you see, I have sanctified that mistake by
overall intention. So by intention then our life becomes a devotion. We become the prayer. By
virtue of that we invoke divinity and then through the heart, through the heart, through the
devotion, through the alignment with divinity, we empower all mankind. So we say, Gloria in
Excelsis Deo! Glory to God in the Highest! And what more could be said.
Underneath the thinkingness is an Infinite Silence. Right this instant Im tuned into the
Silence. Nothing at all is happening.Theres nothing happening in that space. Everythings
peaceful and quiet. Is that okay with you? Okay, live there. Stay there. Get what that space
is and carry it with you as that which you Are.

Dont think that peace and silence is out there its within you. See, the silence is just
underneath the thinkingness and the amusement circus. Stay within that.

And whatever goes on is irrelevant...you say, Yeah, right! So? So learn how to say so,
because that negates the value of thinkingness. Just say so to whatever conversation is
going on, in or out, and live in the Silence...So, instead of being impatient and driven, be like
the witness of it. Youre just the witness. From the Silence you witness it all. The birds come,
the birds nest, Spring comes, Fall comes,wars come, peace comes, the parades go by,

they pile up the casketsits all the same. Okay? Stick with it. Just stick with what Im telling
you. Dont try to elaborate or dissect it. Just stay with what I said to you, okay?

"Within your Self already exists that which is willing to lay down its life for God. It's not
something you acquire, something you have to develop. It's something you locate within
your Self, because that question will come up over and over again in the spiritual pathway:
'Am I willing to surrender this to God? Am I willing to surrender that to God?' And you will
the locate within your Self that there is a capacity to lay ANYTHING down for God. If
Krishna, Buddha, Jesus stood here and said 'Would you lay down your life for me?' You
would say 'Yes, O, Lord.' When you find within your Self that which would say 'Yes, O,
Lord,' to that request--if you do that you will finesse that knowingness from the Self because
it is already within the Self. It is wise to come to know that within yourself--to know that it's
there and then you can call upon it. Because now, at the final door, you have the profound
strength and conviction--that is strength, the strength of the Truth of God, affirmed by those
who have walked through it. That is the Pathway of Nonduality." --Doc, "Realization of the
Self, the Final Moments"

"Truth is not in need of any trappings. Truth is not interested in seducing anybody,
glamorizing anybody. Truth is sufficient unto itself, it comes not from elsewhere. Therefore,
you need nothing out there. Truth has no external teacher, therefore there is no other entity
telling me what to say...the knowingness is innate...The truth comes from within, it is not
given from elsewhere, there is no "other".... Radical Nonduality dispenses with all that."

"Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving and
compassionate at all times, in all places and under all conditions, with everyone as well as
yourself. That is the greatest gift anyone can give." ~ Doc

Telling God how to do it manipulation -- thinking you can use Divinity for entreaty. You are
not asking for revelation and understanding. Those who turn their lives over to God will be
healed. It doesnt mean their prayers will turn out the way they want them to! It means they
will be healed. Gods answer then is whatever will serve the highest good. It may not be the
way you would like it to work because that might not serve the greatest happiness. You
might have to go down the wrong road.

Lecture 2006 THE MIRACULOUS

What is intention?

Intention is holding something in mind and being devoted to it. And then it manifests under
the right karmic and possible conditions, it just manifests in your life. Thats different from
striving, from the ego. Intention isnt trying; its allowing. Its removing that which is not what
you want to be.

~Doc, Emotions and Sensations 2004

Benevolent consciousness is set by your commitment. If you say, "I'm committed to the truth
no matter what", that powerfully sets your compass here, see? Now, here you're persuaded
to get angry and all that, but that doesn't change your course. It's the big decisions that
change your course. We can go up or down. Famous people, in fact it seems to hit
celebrities and famous people more than anybody, they calibrated extremely high at a
certain point. Then they got all kinds of wordly power, all kinds of pomp and circumstance,
and suddenly you see they go from even over 500, crash down to like 130. Every day. Every
day.

Alright. And so it's like as you move along you get tested. You get tested. The value of a
spiritual teacher is to warn you how they come up, how the tests are, where they come up,
what disguises they come in.. And so I feel sorry for those who have crashed. They didn't
have a teacher that warned them about that.

So one of my functions is to warn people of what the downside is at each of these levels.
And the higher you get, the more they come after you. When you're small potatoes they
don't come after you. Close to 500, you become dangerous. You see how dangerous you
are at 480 or 490. You threaten the whole world of fallacy. 51% of the world is going to hate
you already because you have become a danger to falsehood.

Well, that which is fallacious has run this world until last October (laughs). No, til the late
1980's. The consciousness level of mankind went over 200. Fallacy rules large masses of
the population. And therefore, being a proponent of truth will not always make you popular.
So, therefore, it's best to keep your own council..in certain circumstances.

A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that
you also love one another.

By this every man shall know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. ~
Jesus, John 13:34-35

If you love me, then obey my commandments. ~ Jesus, John 14:15

"Q: Jesus in his preaching said that agape, love for others, is the only way to love God.
Correct me if I'm wrong. A: You're not wrong. The Son of God became incarnate in the souls

of men to instill the feeling of brotherhood. All are brothers and all children

of God. Abba, as he called the Father. I will show you the way, he

said. Follow me and you will find the Father and you will all be his

children and he will take delight in you. Agape, the love of each one of

us for the other, from the closest to the furthest, is in fact the only

way that Jesus has given us to find the way of salvation and of the

Beatitudes." Agape calibrates at 575.

You reflect on it. Keep praying and consciously recall the different way you saw it. Ask the
Holy Spirit for a miracle to recontextualize it in a different light. If it is true, it will come back
as a revelation again.

~ Doc, Spiritual Practices, 2006

Ask God for guidance as to what He wants you to do with your time on earth.It depends on
how you contextualize it. Oh, Lord, what is your will for me while I am here on earth. what
He wants you to do with your time on earth. Then let it go. Surrender it and let it go.

To hold Christmas in your heart at all times is just a way of being in the world and its an easy
one to remember because there's no verbalization and no process you have to do. Its just a
decision that you make. If Scrooge can do it, certainly you can do it. Hold Christmas in you
heart at all times."

"So Christmas is transformative. Its a way of being in the world and of course we celebrate it
symbolically once a year and the historical antecedent of it of course is Jesus Christ [which]
means unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness. So it, therefore is, a Christ-like
attitude in which we avoid the comparison between ourselves and Jesus because that would
make us feel guilt or else prideful. No, its a way of being in the world that is very significant
and very powerful, very powerful. It calibrates extremely high, Christmas calibrates around
550 or something."

"Invoke Christmas within yourself. Now, this is not a thing you need to memorize or anything.
Its an attitude. Every morning you get up, and if you forget, you put it on your mirror, 'I will
keep Christmas in my heart this day' - that sets the tone for the day, sets the tone and a way
of being which brings self respect and respect for others..."

Doc Hawkins (Beyond the Ordinary)

You dont have to worry about whether it is in the highest good all the time. That is a way of

get what you want, so what?
Workshops often work because you actually do what youre learning; the value is not what
youre taught, but rather that you do it. If you went to a workshop where all you did was say
So what to every thought and action, youd rise right up the map.

No human can conquer the ego. It needs a higher power. Its done by the grace of God.

~Doc, Lecture 2005, Alignment

Some gurus rise up to high levels and then fall, because they didn't do the basics, the
foundation, morality, goodness, basic ethics.

First perfect the 200's and then move up to higher levels, do not skip any steps.

Lecture April 2004

The invitation to Divinity is irresistible to Divinity. Divinity just cannot resist an appeal to its
own Self, arising from itself, which has lost its identity in you.

~Doc, Dec. 2007

To accept what it is and let go of trying to change it, thats what you need to be praying. You
can say that you accept it, but thats intellectualizing; you really have to accept it. Its the first
step in Al Anon: Admit that youre powerless over it.

~Doc
Witnessing and Observing, 2004
'I am a servant of the Lord, therefore my will, my thoughts and all, are of no use.' To be a
servant of the Lord and then ask God to express his Will for you, and then you say 'In what
way can I be your servant, Oh Lord?' And then God perfects you because you have now
become His problem, because now his problem is how to make a better instrument of you.

- Dialogues on Consciousness and Spirituality, David R Hawkins

Q: OK my question, in the Bible, Jesus says something to the affect I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Light.

Doc: Yes.

Q: No one comes to the Father except though me, but how does that square with other
religions in the world?

Doc: With other religions?

Q: Yes, like I am interested in Buddhism. I like the thought process and the clarity...
Doc: Well the Christ Body is, what we've said, is one of the highest etheric bodies, right
before the Atmic. You don't get to the Atmic body without going through the Christ Body.

Q: But then what about all these other religions they don't believe in Jesus Christ? []

Doc: That doesn't (matter). Jesus Christ is just a nominalization. You can remove the name
Jesus Christ and it's still an energy field that you go through. [...] To let go of the selfish, to
let go of the egotistical, to let go of the linear; you then become the expression of the source
of your own creation. You can label that anything, Buddhist You can label it anything, the
labels don't mean anything. Don't forget all labels are only historic designations.

Q: Exactly.

Doc: Right and the great Gurus of all time were already in existence 10,000 BC. They
calibrated at close to 1000 at 10,000 BC but Jesus Christ came to speak to a certain group
of people. He didn't appear in India where the Gurus already had dominion. He came to the
people that were worshiping the golden calf. They needed the words of Jesus Christ. []

Q: The people today seem to need, some people seem to

Doc: The people today so we're attracted to that, which, I think, would serve the
greatest good.

Susan: It's kind of like don't shoot the messenger, the message is what you want.

Doc: Yes, so they all calibrated at 1000, the highest within this domain. So whether you
pursue via one pathway or the other, I think is irrelevant there's so much karmic influence
on that... So much karmic influence of what you've done, what you've tried, what you've
failed at. Each one typifies something you really want to learn about yourself. Forgiveness,
certainly Jesus Christ taught forgiveness...

Q: Yes.

Doc: So all that which is unforgivable comes up in someone destined for Christianity...
Socrates and Jesus Christ all taught the same thing. The Buddha said there is no point in
attacking your enemies because they will bring themselves down by their own hand. So,
collectively when you become sufficiently advanced, they are all saying the same thing,
different languaging.

Q: Right, one truth Thank you.

Whats the purpose of the world? Its here for YOU. This is not egocentric. Out of Divine
intention, that which is here, is here for you.

Doc, Lecture Happiness, 2009

Q: I'd like to ask how not to doubt, doubt of God.

A: Well, you do prayer and the same thing everybody does, 'Dear God, please help me to
understand my relationship to Thee and Thy infinite nature. Just with prayer and
supplication, and going to church or whatever devotional activities are part of your life, yes?
Service to the poor or service to the sick and dying.

..yes, devotion. We have a friend now who is sick, we pray everday to God for alleviatiion of
this person's illness and their recovery. And that's all we can do. Now its up to their karma.
Ok? That's all we can do.

Doc, Love Lecture, Sept 2011

If you want complexity you will never get the truth, which is simplicity. There are no "others"
only One, that One created Mind which in turn created everything else ... God and a
hierarchy to run things... angels, attractor fields, etc.

Doc, The Clear Pathway to Enlightenment, 2008

Q: Is it beneficial to calibrate ones own level of consciousness?

A: No. It would be better to go over to the spiritual teachers and see what one resonates
with. The teachers may not match some may seem boring.

~ Doc, April 2010 "HANDLING SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES"

"I advise you, don't calibrate yourself, its not possible." You are only responsible for, how you
set your compass, that's all. There you avoid error.

~Doc, Lecture July 2005

Dr Hawkins you teach both enlightenment and salvation.

H: The mind differentiates between the 2. There traditionally somewhat different in

orientation. The Buddha does not speak of salvation. There are Buddhist schools that speak
of salvation. Lotus land Buddhism. (next sentence unclear). Christianity is the traditional way
of salvation.

Is the practice of the two necessarily different?

H: I dont see that the two are necessarily different except that Jesus Christ said none get to
heaven but by me right? And he said it to the right hand of the Father. And through His
sacrifice mankind is saved. So He speaks for you. He is your advocate before the father. So
that is, your trying to achieve a state of worthiness in which Christ speaks for you. The way
to Buddhism does not speak of that. The way of enlightenment is transcending all such
things. There's nobody to be saved. There is no person to be saved. So enlightenment is a
different orientation.
To my mind they both end up in the same place because spiritual salvation takes to an
advanced state, and enlightened state and to become enlightened takes you to the point
where Jesus Christ would of course be your savior all you have to do is request it. So there
somewhat different orientations historically. And of course as far as the ecclesiastic structure
is quite different. Buddhism from Christianity. Yes. The Pope spoke out recently. I was a
little bit surprised at what he said when he said it. That historically that church is the one true
church. He says that because of the basic fact that the Papacy to the apostle. So it has a
historic importance in that lineage. But to me Christianity is Christianity. And to be a
Christian, the essence of Christianity is in the Sermon on the Mount.

Interesting new book out called The Political Teachings of Jesus Christ. Tries to
differentiate the religious teachings from the purely political. Of course in our tradition here in
America the two are pretty much merged. To love your neighbor as yourself. The golden rule
is pretty much the prevailing sense in our society. Politicians ignore it but the common
people dont. The common people tend to recognize treat others as you would have them
treat yourself. So the Sermon on the Mount is pretty much how Jesus Christ saw society
should operate. Treat others as you would have them treat you. Treat even the least among
us with respect. To be kind to the poor. To be kind to the unfortunate.

cont'd below
Buddhism takes you actually to the same pathway youll find because Ive done both
pathways often done them simultaneously. There's no conflict between the two except
conceptually. In Buddhism you would say there is no person to be saved, who is it that you
to be saved? Who is the person? There is no person as such to be saved. But to realize that
is already salvation. I like Jesus so I was afraid that if I was a strict Buddhist Id not get to
hang out with him. Go back upstairs and meet the folks. (dont know this sentence).

I think you can do both simultaneously. You can do all spiritual pathways simultaneously.
The only difference is really the ecclesiastic dogma. So if you avoid ecclesiastic dogma then
you wont get into conflict. Ecclesiastic dogma gets caught in historic events. What
happened thousands of years ago to some tribe on the other side of the world that was lost
and had troubles with the ruling monarchs and all. If you get lost in that you get lost in the
irrelevant details. You see? Those are the irrelevant details.

Real relevance is to be kind to all that lives. To be kind to all of life. And to respect life. And
in doing that you respect yourself. Because life itself is a divine gift therefore to respect it in
yourself and others. That's a Western - Far Eastern view, its a Western view as well of
Western civilization. To be accountable for life and the respect of the divinity of life. That's
why its a crime to take a life. On a strictly secular level it would just be a so what? But its
because of the gift of life that it becomes a serious crime. We do not consider it Godly to kill
the innocent in Western civilization.

Actually we could give a whole lecture on the difference between Christianity and Buddhism,
between enlightenment and salvation. Either way will be fine. I wont argue with either one.
St Peter checks you in by computer now you know. He just punches your number and
there's got all your sins, your credits and debits, and you get a certain score uh oh. There's
the up score and there's the down score. See you choose certain behaviors with your fellow
man not because its a rule or regulation but because that's the glaring reality of it all. That all
that lives loves its own life.

My question is earlier you said that your choices decide your fate. Your personal choices or
your freedom of choice decides your fate.

H: Yes personal choices decide your fate Yes.

And Im wondering if you can help me understand how to reconcile that with non-causality?

H: Causality is a Newtonian concept of a this causing a that in a linear conceptual framework

which calibrates in the mid 400s. Thats what causality is yes. And what is your question.

So when you say your choices decide your fate.

H: Oh yes. Because they change your direction. They dont cause anything but you shift
from this stream to this stream by choice yeah. Your not causing anything. Nothing is being
caused.

So then is that choice that your going to make pre-determined that you will make that choice.

H: You have karmic propensities the likelihoods. Karmic propensities are likelihoods. If you
choose to devote yourself to God the likelihood is greater that you will make these particular
choices rather then these. So its cascading levels of dominance and theres a psychiatrist
who writes about it. Ive mentioned his name before and nobody can find him on the internet
so I dont want to mention his name again but Medina. M E D I N A. talks about cascading
levels. In other words a decision here has a determining effect on increasing the likelihood of
this and this and this right? I mean its only common sense. Medina. If you look him up on the
internet you wont find him for some reason. He writes all the time for the psychiatric news
and psychiatric newspapers. Cascading levels of dominance. The likelihood. So I refer to the
same thing in the book power vs force. Nonlinear dynamics. There are attractor fields that
are more powerful than others. So if you invoke a very powerful field then the likelihood is
that similar type decisions will be made yeah?

So in other words our choices create a likelihood of something happening rather then
actually causing.

H: That's so. That's so. But your not dictated but your very likely. If you have a high regard
for life youll try to avoid hitting the rabbit on the road. Doesnt mean you cant run over the
rabbit but the likelihood is very slim. Likelihood is you may even risk your own life rather then
run over the rabbit you know. Alright?

Thank you very much.

Doc, March 2008

You let go being interested in thriving off the drama of your thinkingness. Your thoughts are
always creating a story, a story about the past, what was, or a story about the future. So the
reality, the subjective reality of which we are speaking, is in the split instant of now. The split
instant of now is the source of the joy of your own existence. It arises out of the moment.
That's always there.

One afternoon you say the hell with it, I'm going to do it. You sit down; you watch these
thoughts. You see the thoughts are creating a story and you're entranced with the story, all
the melodrama, the sadness of your life and all the things that have happened to you and all
the fears of tomorrow and so you write a whole story, a melodrama of your life and you're in
love with it.

Why are you in love with it? Because you're the star of the show.

So you have to catch yourself that you are getting off on this mental melodrama. You get a
payoff out of it and you have to be willing to surrender this to God.

You've got to have a lot of love to be willing to let go of the narcissism of this self-infatuation.
Would I be willing to let that go for the love of God?

'Almighty God, I do ask thee through thy Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to assist me in
this endeavor.'

Lecture 2002, Causality: The Egos FoundationS

So we can save a lot of words, a lot of time and a lot of prayer. We pray for God's Grace to
allow us to accept our limitation and at the same time, our great capacity. On the one hand
we have unlimited capacity, and on the other hand we are like dust goes back to dust.That
combination of humility and surrender.

Just to know that by our intention we are aligned in a very powerful way and our decision to
serve God as best we can, there is no higher intention, that is the highest intention of which
man is capable (resist)...

Doc,
Practical Spirituality October 2008
The ego tries to excite you into a positionality. You are not a movie. If you think youre a
movie, then every movie is fascinating. But you are the witness, the theatre in which the
movie is showing.

You say to God, To Thee O Lord, I surrender my existence, that I may be Thy servant. You
become a servant of God. Contemplation is very yin (Meditation: yang); its better realized as
a way of being. Youre supportive of the witness/observer, and you realize that the only
reason they have any value is because of awareness. You stop trying to delineate it and see
that you are the quality of Divinity.

To claim the world is imperfect denies Divinity

The world of ego sees life as going from imperfection to perfection. You see something, you
try to improve it. When you become the field, you become aware that what youre witnessing
is perfection moving to perfection, to perfection, to perfection. Its a perfect rose, perfect
rose, perfect full rose. Youre witnessing that creation and evolution are one and the same
thing. Creation doesnt go from imperfection to perfect, and neither does evolution. If you
become part of the movie, you think that you go from imperfection to imperfection to
imperfection. All is perfect (already).

This world is the ultimate for undoing karma. You forgot that you killed millions of people, so
now when you get blown up, you can say, Thank you God for releasing me. To get wiped
out is the best thing karmically that can happen to you. You can also choose to curse God.
To get to the positive side of karmic balance, you have to undo the negative. You repeat the
experience, but this time with a different intention. You are witnessing the most perfect place
for enlightening & undoing karma.

Doc, Lecuture Vision 2005

"So we can save a lot of words, a lot of time and a lot of prayer. We pray for God's Grace to
allow us to accept our limitation and at the same time, our great capacity. On the one hand
we have unlimited capacity, and on the other hand we are like dust goes back to dust.That
combination of humility and surrender.

So we pray for that Presence in all those who are suffering various illnesses and asking for
help with those illnesses. We ask for God's Grace. and that's what we're praying for tonight
is God's Grace, "and we give thanks to Thee, O Lord for Thy Grace. Gloria in Excelsis Deo.
Glory to God in all the Greatest", and then we surrender to the consequence that that is
God's will for us. We don't get an answer, then we say, "That was the answer." Humility. Oh.
(Laughs) To accept things as they are is Grace."

Dr. Hawkins, Satsang Jan 2009

"I prepare people for their inevitable future. We know what everyone's future is ~ at least
90% of you. 10% are going to chicken out. Smart to chicken out now (laughs). To be
prepared. You have chosen the way to God and this is going to realign your life. The
sequencing is now going to be different. It's not going to be the same as it would have been.
So, you prepare for it. Okay.

We also talk about what spirituality is not. And it's labeled as such. As you know the way I
communicate. Spirituality is not effete. Hearts and flowers and we're all going to be happy
and we will all sing a song...like this is the May pole and this is kindergarten. No. You know
where the sun don't shine...

No, spirituality does not require being effete and delicate like a wispy little flower and singing
hyms around the clock. It requires strength, courage, valor. As you get to extremely high
levels, the capacity to experience actual physical pain and various agonies. And to allow
nothing to deter you along the way. So, that is anything but effete, yeah? It takes everything
you've got, and without Divine help it's not even possible. Not possible."

~~ Doc, Conviction, 2007

Q: Something I hear you say in a recent interview was that, if I heard you correctly, you said
that we have to master the world before we transcend it. I just wondered what you meant by
that because I think maybe I've been trying to transcend it first.

A: Maybe you have mastered it. You see its value. Really, to master the world is to see its
value as a teaching tool. Having learned all you can from the world, there's no further need
for it. It's a big toy. A big whirling toy. It serves its purpose for a period and then we go on to
other dimensions. This is not the ultimate dimension. We go on to other dimensions.

~Doc, What is Truth? The Absolute, 2007

Out of our love for God we say, "Well, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to grow and
evolve and to earn that which we become."

What is Truth? The Absolute, 2007

And then God perfects you because you have now become His problem

I think that one of the most powerful prayers is to repeat that one is a servant of God. You
say [] 'I am a servant of the Lord, therefore my will, my thoughts and all, are of no use.'
(you ask) to a be a servant of the Lord and then ask God to express his will for you, and then
you say [] 'In what way can I be your servant, Oh Lord?' And then God perfects you
because you have now become His problem, because now his problem is how to make a
better instrument of you.

It is like a cat that declares that your home is his home now, so now you have to feed him. I
call that "rattling the gates of Heaven." The way you rattle the gates of Heaven is to tell God
you are his servant and he had better do someth...ing about it now. And then you pester Him
with prayers and supplications. Ramana Maharshi says, "Finally God feels sorry for you and
gives you what you pray for." Of course, he is joking on one level; on another level he is very
serious. If you start rattling the gates of Heaven, you might say that God now has to pay
attention to you. Otherwise, there is this idiot out there claiming he is your servant and you
have to do something about him.

"There's a fear of letting go of what you believe yourself to be and because you don't know
what will take its place--maybe nothing.

So, you have to be willing to take that chance. You have to be willing to jump off the cliff and
if there's nothing there, then you fall all the way down. (Doc laughs)

There has to be a willingness to totally surrender everything as it arises within yourself.

And surrender this to God...

This, too, I turn over to Thee, O, Lord

Eventually the sense 'I am'--that you are--is an illusion you have to let go of.

That's very scary

Because you are afraid you will then become nothingness.

So, you have to overcome your fear of nothingness.

And if you become nothing, so you become nothing? (Doc laughs)

The ego will not like to hear that.

Surrendering means to relinquish to Gods will. When you think of it, it is the easiest thing in
the world to do. That is why it is so difficult. You become very yin to allow.

undoing of karma. You accept that Gods grace is allowing you to recover spiritually from
the damage you did to yourself.

"And then what?" Then you die. "And then what?"...People that are smart ask that question.
It really gives you the willies when you watch what risk people take in extreme positions.
Things that they say, and you think, "My God. It's like they're completely oblivious to the
consequences of their action. They think, "Well, if it's legal you can say it." That's the
smallest part of it ~ if it's legal. What's that got to do with it? I sometimes shudder when I
hear things that people say, and I say, "My God. What is the karma of that?" Awful. What is
the karma of that? The downside of Western society overall, in my view, is a lack of
awareness of karma. And what is karma? Karma is nothing but accepting responsibility and
being answerable for decisions. In the East, it's more common for people to be aware of the
karmic consequences, but it the West, people are unconscious of it. That every action has
an effect. And these collect over time because we all began as that first primordial energy of
life which had to "get" in order to survive at the cost of others. And therefore was voracious.
And then we evolved to more greater spiritual dimensions.
One of the greatest benefits, I think, of spiritual work is you slowly, dimly, and then quite
consciously become aware that everything has an energy to it, everything has a calibratable
energy to it. Everything is going to have a consequence over eons of time. ...What's scary
when you hear such a breach is that you realize the karmic future they have just laid out for
them self. It's almost scary. The more evolved you get, the more you get everything has a
consequence. It is that which it is. It is impersonal. The consequence of that which you are,
certain things automatically follow, and those track you over great periods of time.
Doc, Alignment, 2005
As one advances, what is opposed to truth gets pulled up. One must be VIGILANT for that
which is non-integrous. Those who are disintegrous see your vulnerability where all you see
is love. There's a need to guardthe gates. The Lucerific temptation to gain, power, fame.
It's not loving to allow that which is not integrous to remain in your life. So, certain executives
have to go. As do certain other people in our lives, it would seem!

"... People confuse spirituality with passivity. Milk sophism. Spirituality requires courage to
stand up for the truth..Therefore, you all have a duty which I will give you today. (Doc
instructs us to write to our congressmen) The Constitution of the United States says, "By
virtue of the Divinity of our Source, we are all equal. By virtue of the Divinity of our Creator,
let the Congress no establish any religion, nor prohibit the free practice thereof." You notice
how cleverly the second half of the sentence is never mentioned?..."Nor prohibit the free
practice thereof."... Even those who are pro-maintaining the establishment of religion as the
core essence of society...How can you get anywhere? If you don't know the truth, and
secondly, if you don't stand up for the truth? You don't win with wimpism. Yes, confusion of
spirituality with passivity and non-action. Non-action is an internal function. It is not an
external action. Non-action means one automatically reflects the truth to the greatest
understanding of which they are capable by their spiritual awareness."

Doubt, Skepticism and Disbelief 8/9/08

We give thanks to Thee, O Lord, for Thy loving Presence. The Lord is present as all of us.
(laughs). (everyone laughs). The Lord is present as us. (laughs more). What else did you
think? That it was going to be other than the reality of that which you are? What? Like a
donkey or camel or statue? Divinity is the essence of that which we are. There's no point of
looking out there for it when you are the manifestation of that which it is. Thus, we are all
children of God by virtue of our identity. All of us have the same last name-- God. (laughs).
WOW!! So hidden by the ego is the awareness of the reality of that which we are, and as we
give up the ego, the reality of that which we are stands forth overwhelmingly prominent, all
prevailing, all present, all eternal, all powerful, all gracious, all loving, all forgiving. (laughs in
ecstasy). The source of joy is within you! There is no point of going after God out there. It's
God within that you seek. The realization of the Divinity of your own existence - nothing
exists without the Will of God. Your existence is the manifestation of the Will of God . You
are the expression of God as it is in this world at this moment . Wow!! And that's why we
start our meetings with Gloria in Excelsis Deo! All thanks be to Thee, O Lord most high.
Those who surrender themselves to me, sayeth the Lord, are mine. Those who turn to me,
said Krishna, are mine. Those of us who turn to me- Jesus- (he says) I will be your advocate
before the Lord. Whether we turn to Jesus , Krishna or Buddha , we are asking for the
awareness of the reality that already exists. How can salvation be in the future when time is
just an illusion? Salvation is here and now. All of us who turn to God are already saved.
Those who have turned to God are already saved (resist-- arm stays strong). No point to
lament. The only time that is is now. Divinity is eternal. You spirit , your soul is eternal. That
which is eternal , there is no then , now or future. All exist as an absolute reality beyond and
transcending all time. The fact that you are here and now, devoting your life to the
knowledge and love of God is sufficient to justify your own salvation. Merely to be here, is to
already justify one's own salvation (resist- arm stays strong). That's all I can handle!

I thank you so much for being here. You are my joy! All of you here today are God's gift to
me (laughs in ecstasy). Amen!

"Let go of all attachments and aversions and leave the rest to divinity.....When you want
something, you are denying its reality within yourself. It's a self-defeating proposition. Let go
all attractions and aversions- that's what the Buddha said to do." - Satsang Series, Vol VIII

September 09 Satsang

(Alleluia is playing, Doc and audience are singing blissfully along... 5 minutes pass...)

Doc laughs, Stop that this instant! laughter... applause, My love for this group is
overwhelming. It knocks me over. I have trouble standing up. We pray for each other;

in our prayers at night, God bless this whole group and their enormous capacity for love.
Weve all learned the capacity for Spiritual Love which escapes other people. They cant
understand what do you mean by that. Its that sense of Oneness, of us all being One. Its
that Divine Love, you know, expressing itSelf; that we are each other. Were all here
together and well all be going over to the other side together. Thats a fact! He begins a
little song Hurray for us were wonder-ous... Its OK to be happy and joyful. Its OK. Well,
you need permission to be happy and joyful. Youre supposed to be serious in this world,
penitent and everything else; ashes and sackcloth. Nobody says just bubbling over with
Joy, but it is OK. God said its OK! So thank you so much. I carry you together with me all
the time. Someone calls out we love you Doc! and he sings a little in joy and says Give it
the old one, two...that takes care of the devil!.

Thank you so much for being here. It is such a joyful experience for me. You share your
spirits with me. To share your spirit is the greatest gift of all. Wow! No wonder were so
terrific! We all give each other the gift of our spirit to join into ONE. Thats the greatest gift
you can give anybody. No wonder were so terrific! Were wonderful and were great.
Hurray for us. Lets give us a hand. applause.. OK, God bless
Intrinsic and hidden beneath, is the exquisite beauty and perfection of Gods Love, which
expresses itself as Mercy.

That which is merciful the mercifulness of all of life is probably the most difficult of all
things to see.

The beauty of life you eventually see.

The perfection of all of life you eventually see.

But the mercy of all of life, thats the hard one to see.

That intrinsic to what you see as disaster, is Divine Mercy, allowing you the Grace of
undoing that negative karma, which would have put you into hell, and you have now undone
it.

Thank you O Lord, for my salvation.

Dr David R Hawkins,

Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, October 2006, Disc 1, 1:06:47

Then you come to devotion, respect, reverence for the truth. Devotion carries you through
the work that it takes to go the pathway of nonduality. Heart and mind are joined into one.
The pathway of nonduality requires devotion. One becomes devoted not to the teacher but
to the truth. The teacher is only a lighthouse. The value isnt the lighthouse, its the light to
guide you to the shore. David R. Hawkins, Workshop December 14, 2002

The sequential thinkingness and endless babble of nonsense, having to do with nothing
but perception and not with essence anyway, is totally worthless. All of your thoughts,
including your most treasured wonderful thoughts, that you have embroidered, surrounded
with silver and gold, are worth nothing. So you start with humility, that all thoughts are worth
nothing at all, theyre amusement. Where do you look then for the source of the Self? You
dont look amongst thoughts, you cant find it there. You look underneath the field of
thoughts. Thoughts are like the waves on the sea, coming and going, coming and going, the
waves are always coming and going. How can you silence the surface of the ocean? You
cant. How can you find any stillness on the ocean? You cant! The nature of the ocean is to
have little waves and big waves, thats called ocean-ness. So the stillness is below the
surface of the ocean, not on the surface of the ocean. Trying to silence the mind on the level
of the waves on the surface of the mind is futile. No, you dive below the mind, underneath
thinkingness, below thinkingness, a priori, prior to the thinkingness, is an infinite field, an
energy field of silence. The silence is present now, even as you listen to the words.

Dr. David R. Hawkins, Experiential Reality: The Mystic, Dec. 2007

You are the context rather than the content. You are that from which awareness radiates
and out of which consciousness arises. The source is consciousness itself. The light of God
is consciousness. The light of God is your own consciousness and as you let go
misidentifying with that which you are not, it becomes stunningly apparent.

Dr. David R. Hawkins, August 2006, Sedona, AZ

Humility you really dont now anything. You are willing to let go of wanting to change
anything. Anything. Including yourself.

Doc, Lecture 11/03

You want to fulfill the potential of your creation. You were created with certain gifts. You want
to fulfill the love of God by utilization of those gifts for the good of others. Those goals are
not necessarily contradictory to spiritual growth. It shows respect for Divinity and
thankfulness for your creation to become that which you can become to the greatest degree.
No matter what you are doing, do it to the greatest potential you are capable of. You are
respecting the grace and gift of life to be the perfect expression of your own potentiality.

Doc, Satsang Sep/2006

"We have innate within us a tremendous, intense, powerful Devotion. We don't have to
develop it. We only have to rediscover it...At the very innate core of one's being is a spiritual
power of enormous strength, which alone can accomplish the impossible."~ Doc

To be accepting of all of life the way it is to want nothing from it realize you are
complete, full, whole within yourself. So the world will never frustrate you, so you will want
nothing from it. To see the perfection as it is, the intrinsic beauty of all that exists. Let go
wanting to make anything different than it is. The reason you can do that is because you see
the perfection of everything as it is. Pray for that understanding. Pray for the vision that you
see the perfection of everything. That is why I never get enthused about changing the world
because it is absolutely perfect. If our purpose is to grow spiritually, what could be better
than what we have here. We have a million choices every second. That is how you gain
karmic merit. If you didnt have the option, there is no karmic merit. The fact that we are in
the midst of so many choices is how we grow spiritually. Ask God to reveal to you the
perfection of all things. Then it becomes obvious to you to see the perfection of all that is. It
is perfect to be where you are at this moment. As you focus on the beauty of life, Divinity
shines forth. The perfection of creation shines forth and you see everything is happening
spontaneously of its own. Everything is wondrously perfect. A perfect question!
David R. Hawkins,
Satsang, Sep 13, 2006

When you realize how PERFECT everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the
sky.

Question: Some seven years ago, in front of me appeared a rotating energy ball, little
blackish, otherwise nonvisible. It was rotating very fast and came in front of me and went into
my third eye and since then even if I close my eyes, I see it there, like a spider thing rotating.
And also in dim light in the evening, it comes close. It turns big, it turns small and
sometimes it turns into an eye.

Dr. Hawkins : Okay, what happens if you smudge the place you are in? Bless it and burn
incense......burn incense and bless the place in the name of God. You have the right to order
demons ...You can order them to leave and they must obey you...I would smudge
them..order them out in the name of Jesus Christ which you have the right to do as the
follower of the Lord and they must obey you. Hold in mind that they must obey you. They
don't have any choice in the matter...They have no choice in the matter. You see in Catholic
or Episcopal high church, how during the highest part of the service the censer comes up
with the incense ..so the censer blesses the altar and all that is around the altar because that
which is most divine is most attractive to that which is not divine, you see. So the censer,
you know, smudges the altar and the place of the altar. When I was a boy, I was the
Bishop's boat boy. So I carried the incense and when the Bishop needed more, his helper
took some of the burning incense and poured it on the burning charcoal and the incense and
the charcoal suffused the whole air, the cathedral .. So it isn't just a superstition, it's
recognized that that which is divine attracts that which is otherwise. And the Buddha, the
Buddha, you know was beset by demons. Jesus Christ sweat blood. So in a way it's a
compliment ... (laughs)...if the demons are seeking you out, it must be for good cause..going
to vote you out of office if they can!

2008, Lecture 6 (Freedom, Morality and Ethics), Disc 3

My guardian angels are jokers. I mean, they tell me those things and I just say what they put
in my mind. They put it there. I didn't think that at all!

From- Advancing Spiritual Awareness Series: The Clear Pathway to Enlightenment

Divinity alone has the power to actualize potentiality.

Intention is only a pattern/form.

God is a field potentiality. All that exists are potentialities.

Only God moves from unmanifest to manifest. Potentiality becomes actuality.

You are an expression of divinity in the form of your existence.

Doc, Realization of the Self: The Final Moments 2002
What is the single most important quality for surrender to God?

The invocation of the spiritual will. You can never be disappointed when one surrenders his
will to God's Will.

Doc, July 2005

"Fear is a lack of faith in God."

~Doc, Lecture 03/2002

Priority of "attention set" term from neurophysiology

You neurologically set an attention set cascades of levels of options. What is the likelihood
of you making this choice rather than that choice. The more often you make one choice, the
greater is the mathematical likelihood you will make it again. Neurologically, you set up these
priorities and likelihoods. So it will become more likely that you will forgive this guy than not.
Preference sets up a likelihood. The more often you choose a certain sporadic event, the
more likely it will not be sporadic!

Doc, Spiritual Practices 2006

So with that, we love each other;... we love each other now and forever.

"These people are a blessing and God's gift to me. [...] the world is blessed by your
presence. [...] The world is blessed by your presence. [...] we carry the Divine energy
by which this world is blessed. Wow, what a gift. So each one of us, is all of us; each
one of us is, actually, all of us. [...] Each one of us is all of us! Amen. What a Divine
blessing. Each one of us carries the... love of all of us. The intensity of that love is
sufficient to counterbalance the negativity of literally millions of human beings on
the planet. [...] You might say that we do God's work, by virtue of what we have
become. It isn't what we do, it isn't what we say; it's what we are that counterbalances
so much negativity in the world. So we serve God by being what we are and who we
are. [...] This lifetime, we became part of the answer instead part of the problem. [...]

So, by virtue of what we have become, we have become actually a blessing to the world.
[...] we are transforming the world and fulfilling God's intention for mankind as well as
ourselves. [...] We are catalysts for God's Will. Wow. What a responsibility and what a gift
and what a joy. [...] We are helping to fulfill God's intention for all of mankind.
So with that, we love each other;... we love each other now and forever. We love each other
now and forever for eternity. [...] Only Divinity lasts through eternity and by being part of
Divinity, we become eternal in God's love. So we will be eternal, eternally with each other
[...] eternally one with God, and eternally one with each other and serving God thusly."

DH, Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 2 of 2, track 8, at the very end, 4. November 2009

We are Thy servants, Oh Lord! We commit to Thy Will unreservedly! "All Glory to Thee, O
Lord!

Those who have understood the world completely and totally know its perfection. No
concepts are possible in the Infinite Light of the Glory of God. The infinite Presence of love is
what one is.

By constant surrender to God all things resolve themselves. *Even very advanced and
complicated, spiritually very difficult issues.*

Doc, Highest Levels of Enlightenment, CD 6

~ Gloria in Excelsis Deo ~
How to surrender: It means to submit to Gods will. It means to stop resisting. It is a
technique that with each energy or thought as it arises, you surrender to it. Did you ever
float? There is swimming, and there is floating. You float with no struggle. If you constantly
surrender, you are surrendering the leading edge of the experiencer. Let It Be. (Beatles
song). The Beatles calibrate at 499. Surrendering means to relinquish to Gods will. When
you think of it, it is the easiest thing in the world to do. That is why it is so difficult. You
become very yin to allow. Thy will, O Lord, not mine. What you think of as a negative
experience might well be the undoing of karma. You accept that Gods grace is allowing you
to recover spiritually from the damage you did to yourself. People in hell dont have that
option.

Doc in Spiritual Practices, 2006

At any time you can say, Dear God, I need your help, Im lost. Are you willing to surrender
your willfulness to God?

Doc, December 2004

God is infinitely merciful. Trust in the mercifulness of God rather than projection of fear. You
pay for negative karmic actions because justice is intrinsic to the design of the universe. It is
designed in such a way that you set up a karmic debt that has to be paid and God doesnt
have anything to do with it. Justice is absolute. Every hair on your head is counted not
because God is an old crank, but everything you do lays down a karmic track and that is
what you are answerable for. God forgives you for that, but he lets you live it through
because he knows what will come out of it strength.
Satsang, Januar 2007

To me, the key to all spiritual advancement is humility. In other words, the beginning
realization is that what you think, how you feel, what you see. And what you think is going on
has nothing to do with reality, and that is the kind of grand delusion which is some kind of
vanity. The minute you begin to suspect that the product of your mind its endless thoughts
is all nonsense, of probably no value whatsoever, there starts the beginning of a process.
Then the person says, 'well, if I'm not experiencing reality as it really is in truth, then how is it
in truth?' In A Course of Miracles, they use the term Holy Spirit. The next step is to say ...
'My own perception is very partial and very biased, and therefore, I ask God to reveal to me
the truth of what is really going on.' What eventually happens is a total transformation of
perception.

Interview with David Hawkins, Dialogues on Consciousness and Spirituality,1998

"Out of compassion for your own existence

as a human being

Im just being a human being.

A normal human being would feel fear

as theyre about to crash.

So youre at peace that,

that fearfulness was ok.

To accept ones level of consciousness

at all times

no matter what it might be

So I can be at peace with upsetness,

because I accept that upsetness

is appropriate at this moment

So peace is accepting however it is right now

is however it is right now

I can be at peace with the fact that Im not at peace

Of course youre upset babykins, why not?

You can stumble and make a fool of yourself

and sound like an idiot.

So, I accept that.

And thats fine with me."

Dr David R Hawkins, Permanent Inner Peace, Fireside chat

"All is happening, in and of itself, by the Infinite Power of the Field of Divinity and for no other
reason. Thats all you need to know."

Dr David R Hawkins, Witnessing and Observing, 2004 Lecture

The capacity to discern truth is dependent on so many things. Neurotransmitters, exposure

to classical music as a child, religious upbringing, love of beauty, playing chess all these
help. Studies show that people raised with these grow up to live in 91% crime-free lives.

~Doc, 2004 Perception and Positionality

From the June 2006 Lecture, Disc 3 - -

A question/answer session relating to self acceptance and perception

of one's self.

Dr: Hawkins:
"You have to be willing to be cordial to yourself, a good neighbor to
yourself, to be polite to yourself, to be considerate, to be decent.
I would just take the page of virtues and apply them to yourself.
Are you kind to yourself and to others? Are you appreciative? Are
you hospitable? Are you fair with yourself? Just be a decent person
with yourself. Are you going to give the guy a break? Let him off
the hook? To be good natured with yourself is simple - - you don't
have to have something erudite sounding. Benevolent - - Benevolent
out of respect for the gift of life. The gift of life is the gift of Divinity. Out of respect for the gift
of life itself you now have the responsibility to treat it as a great gift. I want to say, worry
about stewardship. What is your responsibility in return for the gift of life? I think, to respect
it, to be benevolent towards it. The same as you would with the little black beetle lying
upside down in the alley. You can be that kind to yourself, can you not? Stop beating
yourself up for making errors, because errors are - - you know, it is impossible to avoid
errors."
Q: Who was your teacher because you are my teacher.

There is no who. There was the knowingness at the final door but I dont connect it with
any who. The person of the teacher I have no memory of. But the consciousness knows it
from the consciousness. Should the moment arise for you, you wont know where you got It
either. Its like a stunning knowingness that stands alone, and something in you tells you that
you have to trust it. You are not going to allow yourself to die without certainty. Its directly
from the Absolute. You have to know it from the Absolute. What I say is the absolute truth.

Doc, 2006 THE MIRACULOUS

The spiritual aspirant must learn to accept things for the way they are, not for the way they
want them to be.

Doc, Emotions and Sensations 2004

Enlightenment itself is by God's Grace; because all you can do is remove the
impediments to higher consciousness. ... You can remove the impediments to
love and then love takes over. Love, having a higher energy, tends to
transform. So we can remove the impediments, but the final step is by God
alone, God only; that we call "Grace." Doc, Causality Jan 2002
Freedom of the will is always present. You have to say 'YES' to God in order to awaken.
Karmic merit results from one's choices!
I am responsible!

Compassion for one's self arises out of seeing one's own innate innocence. Innocence is
innate to Life Itself. It does not change with the form it takes.

Doc, KARMA & THE AFTERLIFE 2002

"What does another dimension have to offer you?

You have Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna. What more do you need? You are

looking for a big animal and you have an elephant in your living room."

~Doc
A contemplative way of being in the world. Allow the Field. Do not focus on the content of the
field, but the Field itself. Surrender the world to God. The world you see doesnt exist.

The world will save itself, surrender to God.

Surrender life to Divinity, and Divinity takes it from there.

Doc, 2005/04 Alignment

Not all questions can be answered. Not all questions are necessary to answer.
Pose them as a meditation and simply surrender them to God, because otherwise the ego
just uses it as another way of maintaining its dominance over your consciousness. Like I
have to know if I had past lifes or not. You don't have to know that, I mean, what it's got to do
with totally surrendering to God, you know?
So, a lot of these things we've mentioned (and have tested) are helpful to know at various
places. And it's a sudden spiritual discernment to know when a thing is a distraction or it's
really significant and worthy of looking at. Almost all things resolve themself by simply asking
and then waiting. To simply ask: "What is the answer to this, what is the meaning of that? Is
this pertain to me?" Then the answer presents itself into time ...
Just know, that it's heard and when the time is appropriate.....
Spiritual work is extremly subtle, it's not a linear (like): what is the answer to this question
and if I get the answer then I will move from here to there.

It's more a way of being in the world. It's more a way of relating to the context of life. It's
more a way of relating to context then it is focussing on content.

The content comes forth into time. So the way to get an answer is to pose the question,
meditate on it, turn it over to God and ask God to help you understand as the Holy Spirit

Doc, Karma and the Afterlife

Every opportunity to let go now will prepare you for the ultimate test, which is coming.
'Renuncia- tion' is the willingness to surrender within myself my cherished positionalities and
the juice I get out of them. (i.e., insisting on being right, possessions, position, reputation,
fame, having it my way, etc.) In order to transcend the lower levels, we have to be honest.
We must be willing to admit that I get a payoff from clinging to my positionalities. Hating and
wallowing in grief. (The ego-inflation of pride.) Instead, let it go the instant it happens!
Surrender it. Why? Because you're developing the capacity to let go of anything! And you'll
need that down the road!

Doc, "Devotion: The Way of the Heart" 2002

The choice to forgive one's enemies is not open to most people! To one caught at the lower
level of consciousness, love and forgiveness are not options. The power to lay down your life
to God is all you really want in this world.

Doc, GOD TRANSCENDENT And IMMANENT 2002

God Immanent means, the realization of the source of ones own existence radiating forth
as your beingness, traditionally called Realization of the Self. Realization, is sort of the right
word, but not actually.

What happens is more a recognition, its more that everything youve seen in a familiar way,
now you see it as a radiance of its essence. Its like revealed. Its recognized. You recognize
yourself as all that exists, as the essence of all that exists. Although its a realization, its
really a recognition, its also a remembrance, because as it shines forth, one wonders how
one could have forgotten that. (Doc chuckles)
Some terrible insanity must have overtaken you, that youve forgotten who you are, how
could that be, its a wonderment. And that you were OK all along, all the lifetimes that you
worried about everything, was ridiculous.

Your survival was guaranteed, because that which is the essence of life has neither
beginning nor ending.

Dr. David R. Hawkins, Nov.2002, God Transcendent and Immanent, Disc 1, 2:55

Q: In recent years, I've experienced very powerful shaking in my body. The shakes often are
accompanied by challenging emotions of terror, sadness, isolation, as well as physical pain.
At times, I also speak in an audible voice in a language I do not know. I have sought medical
as well as spiritual support, and the shakes just keep going. Can you help me understand
what I am experiencing? Do you have any advice on how I can relieve the suffering?

A: What's number one? Pain and shaking? Have you ever had hypnosis? Hypnosis would
help that. You may be cured in one session, really. You could probably cure that with one
session of hypnosis. "Peace, calm, relax, deeper, deeper, deeper...Peace, calm, relax,
deeper, deeper, deeper, like so. "I turn this over to my Lord Jesus to heal with peace and
calm." And if you do that calmly and repeatedly, it will disappear. Well, by using the Name of
Jesus Christ you can chase out any negative energies you may have picked up
inadvertently.

Doc, Perception vs Essence 2006

Truth has no secrets. God has no secrets. Sunshine has no secrets. All is revealed. The only
need for secrets is to gain control. There are no secrets to be known; all truth stands
revealed. It unfolds of its own.

Doc, December 2002

Question: Am I in control of my body and my healing?

Answer: Yes and No. ...

The fact that you are created as a human is subject to the laws / karma of protoplasm. ...
You can control, you can transcend things within a certain context. ...

Within a certain context and to a certain degree all things are possible. At the same time
they are not. ..It's the error of mixing levels. .. You can walk on water at this level, if you try it
on that level you are drowned. What's true at one level is not true on another level.

...

The spiritual sophistication is the discernment of levels. At the level of 600 you stop mixing
levels. ..
You see what applies to the abstract level may not necessarily apply to the concrete. ..It is
true but only within a certain context. Limitations are humanness, protoplasm, gender, age,
space and time.
...
Your capacity to control or change things is quite limited actually. On the hand the
miraculous is possible and yet at the same time you're not really limited either. They seem
like conflicting statements, but actually they are not. They are two different contexts.

Doc, Satsang January 2009

The sense of I is ravenous. It wants to claim credit for everything. It wants to claim
authorship. To get ahead of it takes a quick eye. It wants to take credit for thoughts. That
aspect of the ego which we call I is greedy for experience and authorship. It lives in dread
of boredom.

Karma is not deterministic. It is potential. Due to certain karmic proclivities, the likelihood of
you following a certain pathway and making certain decisions is increased, but not
guaranteed. Karma means the propensity. The fact that you are a human being is already a
major karmic demonstration. To be born a human being is a great gift. Treasure it. Dont get
attached to the linear. See the essence out of which you have arisen.

You get born here as a human being because you are stuck with a sense of I. The purpose
of your life here is to transcend that.To transcend linearity and duality is the ultimate purpose
of life. It can be slow but its accelerating at a rapid rate.

Doc, Lecture 2006, Experiential Reality

If you completely surrender everything to God, it doesnt matter if you recover from your
difficulty or not. At that point, its Gods problem.

I'm a trainee for the kindergarten. What we call enlightenment is for the other side as
kindergarten.

Enlightenment is your destiny, so have respect. Respect the truth.Respect the teacher, but
not worship.

Doc, Lecture Vision 2005

Were limitless. There is no limit And I myself, have no idea. It drives my friends crazy. You
know there is a Lesson that says, I place the future in the Hands of God.

When you really get this one, it drives your friends nuts. Everybody wants to know What are
you planning to do next year? I dont know, I wasnt planning anything 5 minutes from now
let alone next year [laughter] you know what I mean?

And as you place the future in the Hands of God, you see, the reason we want to make
plans and think ahead of what we want to do, is we want to control our life. We feel that
securityour survival depends that we consciously now set up goals and how to achieve
them, and that our survival depends on effectively bringing about these five-year programs.
No such thing. You see? No such thing. If you make absolutely no plan whatsoever,
everything happens of its own. Just fine. Everything unfolds spontaneously. Where I need to
go, the path is lighted as I go.

This morning I needed some Sweet n Lows. And we sat in the restaurant and I said, Hey, I
gotta get some Sweet n Lows. So Saul says to the waitress, We need about fifty Sweet n
Lows and she says, Thatll be 30 cents. Just like that right? My mind was worrying, would
the grocery stores be open by 7 or 8 in the morning? It wasnt necessary at all. The minute I
saw myself thinking that way, wondering if the grocery stores would be open? The minute I
saw it, I let it go. I just knew everything was going to fall into place.

I dont have to make a plan on where am I going to get the Sweet n Lowwhen, how many,
etc. See? Whatever was needed falls into place spontaneously and automatically.

So just as you let go thinking that you need to see where youre gonna go in order to get
anywhere on the planet as a visual experience, you begin to now see it as a living
experience. I dont need to know where Im going to go. Ive no idea who Im going to be
withwho Im going to live with, I have no idea about my love relationships. Ive no idea
what Im going to do myself. I have no idea about finances. Right now I have no income,
hardly any income [laugher] . .a piddling income come to think of it. In terms of the world, my
income right now is . .zilch. And yet I seem to have everything I need. Everything seems to
be in place. . and I got here. In other words, as we turn over more and more things we
become more and more spontaneous and the forces of the Universe see to it that this body
and the Life that goes onthe soap opera that goes on with this body, you see after awhile
you see that youre not this body nor are you the soap opera associated with the body.
And when I first had that experience, I was like, liberated from Dave. Dave is reasonably
interesting, but [laughing] when I thought I was just Dave, I was limited to that whole story
that went with him and his previous lifetimes, thats interesting too you get into previous
lifetimes, and you see thats limitation too. Because if this body and this story and all that
goes with Dave is not really real, then neither are the previous ones. However, they are not
less real. [more laughter] Theyre as real as he is, but not more important nor less important.

The Power of Spiritual Teaching

Even the most subtle shift in understanding has the POWER to save you from suicide! It will
transform you because of the power of your INTENTION. Thus, certain spiritual information
is, in itself, transformational. You have to let it take root and settle. Later it will be
assimilated.

A moment of doubt is normal. You have to have doubt if you are going to do anything.
Periodic doubt is normal. Anybody who doesnt doubt himself is probably suffering from
grandiosity.

Dont compartmentalize your spiritual life as separate from your regular life. You

To be enlightend means to surrender that ignorance out of humility. Not out of desperation,
not out of wantingness, but out of humility you surrender that ignorance.

I of myself do not know O Lord. I of myself do not know. So we surrender our ignorance, and
our limitation, and our not knowingness to God. And in return we become enlightend.

3:17:01 PM] Angelena: (sun)Mindfulness

Mindfulness means being willing to put forth the energy to be watchful of yourself and know
when you are off-course. It's the willingness to spot your defects of character and willingness
to change them, admit them...One of the twelve steps is - willing to admit your shortcomings
and ask God for help to overcome them . It doesn't say, ignored our shortcomings or made a
big deal out of them. You don't have to go into a guilt spasm about that. So that does take
some effort to be watchful of yourself and see areas where you could improve. You do this
out of gratitude for God for your creation....Inner honesty has to do with mindfulness- taking
your personal inventory. So part of one's prayer at the end of the day can be taking one's
inner inventory, not in order to feel guilt..because guilt is self-indulgence..guilt is narcissistic.
Don't wallow in it. You know, it's just 'me,' 'me'..how guilty I am!! It's the big 'ME' again. So
you have to be willing to let go of guilt.. Responsibility is part of mindfulness. With inner
honesty, at least once a day, you take inner inventory. With mindfulness, you have inner
inventory going all the time. The minute you are somewhat off, you already feel that you are
off as you are taking responsibility for your own consciousness.
Below all the thinkingness, and the glamour and conflict is the inner silence and as you
evolve you identify that that is who you are. And the inner silence then begins to manifest as
a radiance, like a light coming up inside of yourself. A silent light that illuminates. This is
illumination. It has no linear content. It's just an illumination. So the higher states of
consciousness are called illumination because the subjective experience is that of a light
coming forth from within oneself and you realize that you are experiencing your SELF. There
is an alignment with peace instead of drama. People live off drama instead of peace and will
reject peace at any cost in order to keep the drama going because the ego feeds off drama.
In the silence, you realize that witnessing and observing is going on all the time. So the
mindfulness is partly and eventually becomes the impersonal witness-observer. The
observer and the witness notices those things without being necessarily termed the personal
'I'. It's not exactly the personal 'I'. And this is the easiest position towards enlightenment -
from the arena, the movie, the drama, ask yourself, how do I know what's going on? And it's
because you are witnessing and observing it. Then you can let go of the identification with
the content of consciousness ....The easiest way to enlightenment is to withdraw from
identifying with the content of consciousness and realize, how do I even know what's going
on in consciousness? Because of the witness-observer. So you withdraw from the content to
the witness-observer and that takes you eventually to consciousness itself.

You let go the processor which instantly processes things in 1/10,000th of a second. You're
not seeing what is, you're seeing the interpretation of the processor. In one instant you can
catch it.

In higher meditative states one eventually crosses over the level of the processor. Belief
states are so pervasive, you don't see anything as it is. All we see is a processed
interpretation of it with hidden slants. He cited a television production which has been

What Is The World? - 2009

Ask, what is the source of awareness ?

because the source of awareness leads you directly

to the infinite field of consciousness itself.

It is not a personal self thats aware.

Its awareness which is aware.

Awareness is an IMPERSONAL phenomena.

Its a quality of life,

and its awareness that is aware.

There is no personal I thats aware

so if you reflect on it, you realize

that there isnt any personal I thats aware.

There isnt any personal I !

Consciousness is aware,
but consciousness is independent of a personal I.
So its a phenomena that occurs
as a consequence of its own reality,

NOT because of a personal "you".

It doesnt require a personal pronoun;

so reality doesnt require a personal pronoun.

There is no person that becomes enlightened...

there is no person that becomes enlightened...

great beings. So, when we pray to the Lord, and we say,"All glory be to Thee, O Lord Most
High, Gloria in Excelsis Deo"...the Lord cannot refuse..cannot refuse you. That is a fact
(Susan stays strong)..The Lord cannot refuse you when you worship the Lord, and you say,

At birth we already have a calibrate-able level of consciousness. Also, the time of our death
is already determined at the time of our birth.
(not the means, but the moment)

The energy of life cannot be extinguished. We change forms, but life energy continues.

Over level 600, we remember what are called previous lifetimes (tho actually, there is only
one life). As consciousness advances, it all begins to makes sense, to fit together.

~ Doc, Live Your Life Like A Prayer

Love is the WILLINGNESS to let go, let go, let go. . .Surrender All to God!

Every opportunity to let go now will prepare you for the ultimate test, which is coming.
'Renunciation' is the willingness to surrender within myself my cherished positionalities and
the juice I get out of them. (i.e., insisting on being right, possessions, position, reputation,
fame, having it my way, etc.) In order to transcend the lower levels, we have to be HONEST
(cal. 200). We must be willing to admit that I get a payoff from clinging to my positionalities.
Hating and wallowing in grief. (The ego-inflation of pride.) Instead, let it go the instant it
happens! Surrender it. Why? Because you're developing the capacity to let go of anything!
And you'll need that down the road!

Doc, Devotion: The Way of the Heart, 2002'

"So you begin to own the worth, the impact of your own life. You see when you dismiss everything as
nothing and everything is a joke ...and 'that's just a t.v. thing' and all this. When you trivialize your life,
you're trivializing that which is the most valuable thing that you own...and that is your life. So, I say
this only to underscore, to... guard the sacredness of your life. Your life is sacred. It's because it's
sacred, you have the capacity to uplift everyone on the planet - -by just what you have become. To
verify the sacredness of your life, then, is to verify the sacredness of everyone's life and, thereby, you
lift the level of the sea and relieve the suffering of others who are on the other side of the world who
don't even know that you exist. So, as we forgive and shine forth that love....I always picture before I
go to bed, the relief of the suffering of all sentient beings and the animal kingdom. I picture a little child
...........somewhere, hopeless and next to death, feeling abandoned....or some animal...laying there
suffering...then I realize that our intention............ at that last moment..............that it can handle the
suffering................... It can handle it................. It can! .......................Because of us...............So, that's
our gift back to Thee, Oh Lord. ......Amen."

"By constant surrender to God, all things resolve themselves."

David R. Hawkins,
Highest Levels of Enlightenment
"Q: Jesus in his preaching said that agape, love for others, is the only way to love God.
Correct me if I'm wrong. A: You're not wrong. The Son of God became incarnate in the souls
of men to instill the feeling of brotherhood. All are brothers and all children of God. Abba, as
he called the Father. I will show you the way, he said. Follow me and you will find the Father
and you will all be his children and he will take delight in you. Agape, the love of each one of
us for the other, from the closest to the furthest, is in fact the only way that Jesus has given
us to find the way of salvation and of the Beatitudes."

"Spiritual work: the best thing to do is not to work at it; because it's more like floating in air
than striving. It's more like letting one's self go to become that which you are, and you just
stop resisting it." Doc, Unity Church Marin
To be is to be a mudra, a way of presenting to the world and to God. One lives ones life like
a mudra. To pray then is to hold ones consciousness thusly. Spiritual evolution is effortless.
To be that which you are in supplication to God already summons forth the energy of the
universe. Spiritual work is effortless; its a decision, a commitment, an intention. That
intention then aligns you with whatever you need to be aligned with. You become that which
you seek, because that which you seek is not different from that which you discover. Its the
ultimate yin posture.

So what the world is really,

calibrates close to 600;

And if you calibrate lower

what you will see is a world

that is intrinsically evil.

Jesus Christ said,

'Evil is in the eye of the beholder.'

And the seeming contradiction is

in the Lord's Prayer, you then say,

and lead us not into evil.

Should it be, lead us not into evil

or

don't ascribe to evil

because evil

is a projection

What is the World

Feb 09 Lecture, Disc 1& 2

"We have innate within us, a tremendous, intense, powerful devotion. We don't have to
develop it, we only have to rediscover it. There is within us already, pre-existent, an energy
of such enormous power that one summons up that power to relinquish any and every
attachment that stands in the way. You won't find the willingness to do that within the ego
structure. The ego will instantly give you an argument why it should not persist in the
direction that it is positioned. So, one has to reach deeper within oneself. At the very innate
core of one's being is a spiritual power of enormous strength, which alone can accomplish
the impossible. From Doc lecture, "Integration of Spirituality and Personal Life", Feb. '03
~

The Love of God is so powerful, so deep, the very essence of your beingness, that if you find
it, you find it within yourself.
There is the power in the willingness to surrender all, including life itself to God. There is
within yourself, already a powerful devotion. You say: "I don't have the power to do that". It's
within yourself already existent.

"For Thee O Lord, do I lay down my life in all its details

The power of that devotion lies within all of you, and it is the guarantee of your salvation.

God is a friend in all of us. ~Doc

(Radical Subjectivity, 2002)

We will try to understand the structure of the ego and how it arose over great expanses of
time. We will also discover how to be friendly with the ego and dissolve it rather than
reinforcing it by attacking it. Every time you attack the ego you reinforce it through guilt
and shame.Attacking the ego making it wrong and labeling it "sin" is not helpful.
You can only transcend it by familiarity, non-condemnation, acceptance, and
compassion for one's own ego. The high road to compassion is through understanding
and acceptance.

Devotion carries you through the work that it takes to go the pathway of nonduality. Heart
and mind are joined into one. The pathway of nonduality requires devotion. One becomes
devoted not to the teacher but to the truth. The teacher is only a lighthouse. The value isnt
the lighthouse, its the light to guide you to the shore.

Question: How does one become a student of yours?

Answer: Be devoted to truth. Be willing to surrender everything as it arises. This has been a
statistical rarity. My intention is that this should not be a rarity. We never had the tools and
awareness to discern truth and the ego before. Most of what the great teachers taught is not
known, because so much was in the inflections, the contextualization of what was taught.
Some wasnt written until long after the teacher lived, when all that can be passed on is what
is verbally remembered. Its amazing that as much truth as we have survived we become
united by commonality of intention. When we have the same intention, we are brothers
already.

PB: Have you heard of the Law of Attraction and the DVD The Secret?

DH: As if they just discovered it. It has been around forever.

PB: Then its not so secret?

DH: What you hold in your mind tends to materialize. Thats an old saw, isnt it?
PB: Is there any correlation between the Law of Attraction and your model for attractor
fields?

DH: No. Attractor field, as I use it, is a term from nonlinear dynamics. It is an energy field.
You are attracted to your own energy field, that which you resonate with, that which you
have become. The Law of Attraction is not a law; it is just an observation. What you hold in
your mind tends to materialize [a certain thing] in your life because you are holding the
pattern of it and naturally identifying with that pattern.

PB: There are a lot of people holding in mind Cadillacs and mansions, so wouldnt the
source of your motivation affect what you get?

DH: Wanting it tends to keep it away. You dont picture wanting a Cadillac; you picture
yourself having a Cadillac and being in a Cadillac and being joyful in it and appreciating it.

Question: Is it true that the ego does NOT exist in REALITY?

Answer: That's correct. Neither the mind nor the ego exist in REALITY. . . .What happens is
we find what we're looking for. Everyone believes that behind one's actions there's a little 'I'. .
. .The ego has no independent reality. There is no such thing as 'ego'. 'Thinkingness' goes
on of its own. Try to tell the mind to stop thinking!!!
It (the ego - thinkingness) isn't a noun, it's a function. It's happening of it's own. . .an
independent quality. Thinkingness goes on, but I am NOT that, nor am I the content of
thinking, nor the quality of thinkingness. It happens of its own.

Remove the pronoun 'I' as the causal agent, which is one of the things that you surrender.
The belief there's an 'I doing it is a vanity. It's the ultimate illusion that you let go. Suddenly
you go up to an incredible level (of consciousness).

The ego isn't real. Ego' is a descriptive convenience. I removed the word 'ego' in my book,
I: Subjectivity and Reality (2002) and replaced it with 'thinkingness. Practically speaking,
from the point of view of human perception. . . .

Ego is a useful illusion to a certain point, then you don't need it any more.

Devotion: The Way of the Heart, 2002

The epiphany of prayer... We should pray by the way we are in the world. To respect and
have reverence for all of life and the sanctity of all that exists, is the epiphany of prayer. To
acknowledge God as the source and the presence of all existence in all of its expressions is
the epiphany of prayer. ... To my mind, prayer is not just a recitation. See, the intention of the
recitation is undoubtedly quite powerful, just like prayer wheels. Its the intention of the
prayer wheel that gives it its spiritual power. (=true) So, whether you burn sticks, walk back
and forth around the squares on the floor in the cathedral, whatever you do in the name of
God, for the sake of God, is like karma-yoga. Having been done for Thee, O Lord -- for
Thee, O Lord do I thusly peel potatoes, vacuum the floor, suffer the aches and pains of this
body, write thank-you-letters and Christmas cards, pay my taxes. Whatever I do, if I do it in
the name of GOD... Because by doing that, your understanding of the nature of God keeps
expanding and that in itself is a grace to see the opportunity and to follow that opportunity in
itself is positive karma, is itself grace. Lecture 2002 God: Transcendent and Immanent
When you are really appreciative of somebody, they about fall over there is such a lack of
graciousness in the world. You can be benevolent wherever you go. Your benevolence and
intelligence and integrity at work can influence others. It is how you are within the world. It is
the energy with which you do a thing and the way you are within the company. You want
something with greater human interaction and not just punching a keyboard (to the person
asking the question). Surrender everything to God and ask to see it differently!

Q: How to live a normal life, being in the world but being spiritual.

The outer self is sort of compromising, with a persona. That has no influence at all on the
reality that it is. You find that inner reality within yourself. At the same time, you have a
persona that interacts with the world, so you are doing two things, being complete and
whole, and also still gathering information for reasons we dont know yet. Maybe you are a
spirit guide in training.

David R. Hawkins,
Satsang, January 10, 2007
Surrendering means to relinquish to Gods will. When you think of it, it is the easiest thing in
the world to do. That is why it is so difficult. You become very yin to allow. Thy will, O
Lord, not mine. What you think of as a negative experience might well be the undoing of
karma. You accept that Gods grace is allowing you to recover spiritually from the damage
you did to yourself. People in hell dont have that option. Here you have, by good actions,
the ability to undo your bad actions from the past. Not everyone has that option.

David R. Hawkins,

Reject the vanity of an I causing everything; become the context; Stay with the context
continuously; Make ones life a Prayer; Witness the sacredness of all things

All happens spontaneously. Reject the vanity that there is an I causing everything. I is not
cause

With humility, what you say to the mind is, you see whats happening, but you dont
understand it. You can explain it, but explanation is extraneous to Reality.

The power of the field causes not you

There is potentiality, which manifests into actuality by virtue of the field.

You want to fulfill the potential of your creation. You were created with certain gifts. You want

rule. You don't have to worry about all these things here, all these negative feelings [points
at the map of consciousness]. All you have to figure out is one thing. There's only one thing
you only have to surrender: The payoff you're getting from whatever positionality you're
stuck in. That's all you've got to let go. You don't have to let go of hating people, being afraid.
You don't have to let go of wanting to be a terrorist. [laughs] Blow up a buss load of children,
I know that's tempting, but.. You have to forgo the pleasure. So it's the pleasure, gratification
and satisfaction that you get of that position. That's what you're stuck on. See, you
understand? You still hate your mother-in-law, but what you're stuck on is not your
mother-in-law and not your hatred. What you're stuck on is you get a satisfaction and a
pleasure. Like sort of a vengeful.. You only have to let go whatever payoff you're getting.
That payoff is the energy and once you identify it, you'll see it come up. You'll see it come
up. Every negative thing that's holding you back from enlightment is due to the payoff that
you're getting secretly from the ego. You say "Oh, I don't get any payoff". Oh yes you do.

And when she got arrested - I'll never forget that look - she was like jubilant. The police is

Question: What is Grace?

Answer: Grace is the presence of a very high energy and vibration which is picked up in
one's aura as INTENTION. Grace is the opportunity to surrender to that which is intrinsic to
salvation and enlightenment. It's the transformational opportunity that energizes options that
otherwise would not have been available earlier.

~Doc, Lecture 2005, Alignment

"Youre responsible for your intention, not the outcome. It states a truth: everyone is
absolutely accountable to the universe.

There is nothing to be dissatisfied with about yourself. You are a perfect manifestation of
karma up to this point.

Lecture 2005 Intention"

You dedicate your efforts to God and then what is is what is.You are responsible for the
effort and not the result.

Lecture 2006, Perception vs. Essence

That which is spiritual truth grants perfect freedom. There is no language to learn, no
membership to be revoked. There is devotion required, a profound devotion to worship the
truth, the presence of God. Its the pathway of the mystic. The truth is found when all barriers
to it are removed. Then the sun shines forth, equally on all. The vibration of the higher
frequencies in the body respond to the high frequencies of the truth being revealed.

Spiritual work eventually takes you to a point where the power of the spiritual level begins to
pull you up. You dont choose to become spiritual; it chooses you. The closer you get to the
magnet, the more powerfully the iron filing is pulled to it.
