The spiritual practice of seeking Enlightenment via nonduality is the consequence of intention and commitment. Its actual practice is not so much a matter of ‘doing’ but a way of ‘being’ or aligning with the subjective awareness of life. It is therefore like a posture as represented, for example, by the classic mudra (sacred hand position). Attention is aligned with the field/context rather than the customary focus on content and details. Intuition is valuable and investigative rather than being dismissed as illogical. Also, spiritual work is more like noticing and becoming aware rather than ‘doingness’ per se. Attitudes that may just seem merely ‘nice’ to ordinary mind become very powerful tools when aligned with spiritual intention and commitment. For instance, to strictly live by the dictum of ‘good will to all life’ is transformative when energized by the Spiritual Will.

The decisions to ‘be kind to all of life’ or to respect the sacredness of all that exists are powerful attitudes in spiritual evolution, along with the virtues of compassion, the willingness to forgive, and seeking to understand rather than to judge. By constant surrendering, perceptions dissolve into discernment of essence.

To even be on the spiritual pathway is already the greatest karma there is. That is the greatest gift. The rest is automatic, because once you get bit by the bug, you don’t have much choice about it. Once you get bit by the spiritual bug, the way home is certain. You may get lost here and there for a few lifetimes, wandering around. That’s irrelevant because the pathway is going to pull you. We’ve said you are not propelled by your past; you’re attracted by your future. You set your future by your choice and design and by your spiritual agreement. What happens then, and of course in quantum mechanics, there is no past, present, or future. There is no such thing as a sequence of past, present, and future in the infinite quantum potentiality. The future precedes the present. Do you understand what I’m saying? Because you’ve already chosen the future and activated it in the now, the future is what’s activating you now. You understand? Okay. Everyone here is being pulled by the infinite potentiality that you have already chosen and committed to, or you wouldn’t be here. You’d be at the ballgame. So, everyone should relax, that the way is certain. Enlightenment is certain for everybody here, or you wouldn’t be here. The future, then, is what is activating you in the present, yeah. Does that make sense now? Because of
what you’ve already chosen, you’ve already chosen that out of the quantum potentiality. You have an infinite number of choices, but you’ve chosen that. That is now what is attracting you, like a magnet to the future, dragging you through all that you have to go through—giving up chocolate and everything. I gave up chocolate for God. That’s how I got this halo.

Power accomplishes what it does without intending to, by virtue of
being what it is. Gravity has no intention to lift a nail from the floor.
I mean, magnetism has no intention of doing that. Gravity has no
intention of pulling an apple out of the tree. Gravity, magnetism,
the electrostatic field, the infinite universe, are immensely powerful
by virtue of that which they are. All they have to do is “be there.”

Mahatma Gandhi stood there, all 90 pounds of him, and defeated
the British Empire. He calibrated 700 at the time, and the British
Empire calibrated at 178 or 185 or something. All Mahatma Gandhi
had to do was just sit there and not eat, and the British Empire was
defeated. He didn’t have to do anything. Gandhi did not fire a shot.

So, power accomplishes effortlessly by virtue of that which it
is. You don’t have to feed it energy; it radiates energy. It accomplishes by virtue of the quality of that which it is. It doesn’t do
anything. It doesn’t have any intention. Those are all coming out
of presumption of the human ego and projected, which we see
happening with God. We see that happening to the image of God
throughout time. All kinds of foibles and fallacies of the human
ego are projected onto God, such as “why” questions. Gravity is
what it is, and it’s immensely powerful. It does it for millions and
billions of eons without wearing itself out. Eon after eon, the universe, in its immense power determines—it doesn’t determine by
intention—but is that which is the “why” of it all. The “why” of it
all is the “is” of it all. So, power, then, does what it does by virtue
of its quality.

Force is something else. Force goes from here to there. Force wears itself out. Force, as we know from physics creates counterforce.

This newly released book comprises the transcribed lectures, November and December 2002 presented by Dr. Hawkins.

Invoking the Great Rays:

I think so, because- …I think it attunes you to the Great Rays. Let’s ask if there is such a thing. [Testing]: “The Great Rays, as described in the Course in Miracles is a spiritual fact-resist.” [True]. … “What we’re talking about is frequency vibrations over a 1000-resist.” [True]. “We’re talking about the archangels 50,000 and over-resist.” [True]. Yeah.

So, what happens, you see, through your act of devotion you begin to attune yourself to the great powers of heaven. See, a human being’s nervous system can only handle spiritual energy up to a certain level. …Homo spiritus has to evolve, the human nervous system has to evolve to the point it could carry more powerful energy and still remain in a physical body in this planet. The Great Rays really in a way means that intense spiritual commitment then attracts the attention of- what shall we say in the vernacular- great spiritual beings- right– who are out of form, out of physicality, whose dominion is enormous and whose power is enormous. As we say, what brought me out of hell was the thought of an archangel [snaps fingers]. An archangel heard the thought-keww! – that was enough. So, the entreaty, the commitment, the surrender does then invoke, you might say, the assistance of the Great Rays; it’s not like a personal basis, but as an automatic consequence of the huge electromagnetic energy field we call “God.”

Special quote: Spiritual work is done for its own sake. “For Thee, O God, do I lay down my life;  and live it to the extreme, out of devotion to Thee.” pg. 54

It depends on all of them, you see, because to become interested in enlightenment or spiritual evolution or salvation, to be interested in Jesus or Buddha, or going to church is already great, good karma, is it not? I mean, eighty-seven percent of the population doesn’t even get that far. Eighty-seven percent of the population is not devoted to truth, or the pursuit of truth. To merely get on the map itself is incredible. We’re going through meditation to the realization that one is the awareness, one is the space out of which the word “cat” arose. The space is blank. Consciousness is blank. That consciousness has been likened to a light because it’s the light of Consciousness itself. You realize that that is the manifestation, and beyond that is the Unmanifest, because Consciousness itself arose out of an a priori condition. Out of the darkness arose the light, and out of the light, Consciousness. Consciousness striking matter evolved as life. That all becomes obvious.
