To “become the shepherd of your own sheep,” then, means to acknowledge that all the subpersonalities within you, the child in you, the adolescent, all those things that still are there, are now your responsibility, and because you’re awake now, because you’re awake—more awake than the rest of them within you—you have to become the shepherd that guards the innocence of the sheep within you. Yeah. You take responsibility. You take responsibility now and say, “I recognize that my mind can’t tell truth from falsehood. As a consequence…as a consequence I will not put myself in a position where that naivete can lead to deleterious results.” You know what I’m saying? It’s like not throwing your pearls before swine. I never cared for the language of that, but you have to take responsibility now for what you allow yourself to be programmed by.

…Take responsibility, to be the shepherd of your own sheep. And that is the awareness that within yourself, within the various archetypes, the subpersonalities, is still the programmable; … And to watch what you’re being, to be aware.

This book contains the transcriptions from the July and August 2002 lectures presented by Dr. Hawkins.

The infinite stillness, behind whatever sounds we hear in the room, is your Self. Without the infinite stillness of your Self, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything. Without the infinite context of nonform, you would not be able to experience form.  Because of the voidness of the Presence, one experiences form, experiences existence, is aware of what the mind is up to. So, we don’t want to be scared of mind. We want to handle mind the same as we did the animal.  We love mind. It’s not our enemy. It took evolution billions of years to develop this incredible thing here, which I now–because I want to realize the Presence of God, …becomes an obstacle.

So, the willingness to love, no matter what, is really a pact you’re making with God. Really a pact you’re making with God. “I choose to be with Thy Will, O Lord, and love unconditionally.” So, this is a choice, made by conscious decision—not out of logic, but because you’re already evolved enough that that contract is now compelling. You realize it’s going to have a big cost. You realize it’s going to make a cost. Anybody who chooses to be unconditionally loving knows in that contract, it’s going to be a price. All that which is unloving is going to come up to be surrendered. On the other hand, you now get assistance from dimensions from which you never got assistance before. Let’s see if that’s so: “We have permission to ask this question.” [True.] “What I just said is so.” [True.] Oho! See, the contract has now brought in powers from other dimensions which you did not have before.

…People are always asking in letters, you know, “How can I advance myself spiritually?” And the basic essence of it is always the same, and that is one’s devotion to the truth. One’s devotion to the truth transcends all obstacles. Let’s see if that’s a fact: “That’s a fact-resist.” [True.] One’s devotion to the truth then overcomes all obstacles.

And sometimes people will write a letter also that they don’t understand certain things, and because there’s such a huge volume of letters, they can’t all be answered.

And so, what we generally say, then, in a letter, that almost—over 90 percent of the questions that are being presented resolve themself with a little further reflection of the information that’s been provided.

It takes a certain amount of time to grow, you know what I’m saying? And a lot of times, people will come up with a question that, you know, took me 20 years of meditation to even get to the edge of that answer, and he wants it tomorrow, you know. I say, “Well, now . . .” Hmmm. So, there’s a certain maturity, a certain . . . in other words, the growth factor—you know, the growth factor—and each person evolves at their own rate of development. And that rate of development is absolutely correct for that person.

So, therefore some preparation of spiritually advanced work has to be done to become an intense spiritual aspirant.

In the presence of God, all suffering ceases.  One has returned to one’s Source, which is not different from one’s own Self.  It is as though one had forgotten and now awakened from a dream.  All fears are revealed to be groundless; all worries are foolish imaginings.  There is no future to fear nor past to regret.  There is  no errant ego/self to admonish or correct.  There is nothing that needs changing or bettering.  There is nothing about which to feel ashamed or guilty.  There is no ‘other’ from which one can be separated.  No loss is possible.  Nothing needs to be done, no effort is required, and one is free from the endless tug of desire and want.
