Category: Thoughts & quotes from Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. & Susan Hawkins

The presence of God as love is self-revealing, since the duality of perception ceases as a consequence of surrendering positionalities.  Love is therefore the doorway between the linear and the nonlinear domains.  It is the grand avenue to the discovery of God.

There is absolutely nothing in ordinary human experience to compare with the joy of the presence of the love of God.  No sacrifice is too great nor effort too much in order to realize that presence.

Daily Reflections from Dr. David R. Hawkins, pg. 80 and pg. 83

By being loving toward others, we discover that we are surrounded by love and lovingness.  When we unreservedly support life without gain, life supports us in return.  Whenever we abandon gain as a motive, life responds with unexpected generosity.  And when we perceive in this way, the miraculous begins to appear in the life of every dedicated spiritual aspirant.

Daily Reflections From Dr. David R. Hawkins, pg. 76

and eternal transcends both objectivity and subjectivity and is beyond awareness.  It is referred to in the ancient spiritual literature as “the Supreme Spirit.” Out of the Supreme arises all that is manifest and unmanifest; all consciousness and awareness; all existence; All That Is; either form or non-form; all that is linear and all that is nonlinear; all that arises out of creation; all possibility and actuality.  The Supreme is beyond existence or nonexistence; beyond beingness or is-ness; beyond all Gods, heavens, or spiritual forms; beyond all names or definitions; beyond all divinities and spiritual denotations. It is out of the Godhead that Divinity arises, and out of the Supreme arises the Godhead.

Almost all meditative techniques have as their goal the quieting of the mind.  This is the basis of the dictum from the Book of Psalms, “Be still and know that I am God.”  As most meditators have discovered, achieving silence of the mind is the main problem of meditation itself.  This is because suppressed feelings constantly produce thoughts, which are the main distractions in meditation.  Acknowledging and letting go of the energy behind these suppressed feelings, therefore, facilitates the goal of meditation.  When the feeling behind the train of thoughts is located and surrendered, then that entire train of thought instantly stops.

By constantly surrendering, it is possible to arrive at an extremely silent state of mind.  This can be accomplished as one goes about one’s daily activities, thus greatly expanding the capacity to meditate.  Most meditative techniques are limited to a specified number of minutes or hours during the day.  It is possible by constant surrender to reach high states of consciousness.

In the Nonduality of awareness, even sequence no longer occurs, and awareness, replaces experiencing.  There is no longer the experience of “moments,” as there is only a continuous Now.  Movement appears as slow motion, as though suspended outside of time.  Nothing is imperfect.  Nothing actually moves or changes; no events actually take place.  Instead of sequence, there is the observation that everything is in a stage of unfoldment, and that all form is only a transitional epiphenomenon created by perception and the observational habits of mental activity.

In Reality all comes into being as an expression of the infinite potentiality of the universe. Evolving states are the consequences of conditions but are not caused by them.  Conditions account for appearances, and the phenomenon as change is really the result of an arbitrary point of observation.
