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

Because emotions emit a vibrational energy field, they affect and determine the people who are in our lives. Life events become influenced by our repressed and suppressed emotions on the psychic level. Thus, anger attracts angry thoughts. The basic rule of the psychic universe is that “like attracts like.” Similarly, “love promotes love,” so that the person who has let go of a lot of inner negativity is surrounded by loving thoughts, loving events, loving people, and loving pets. This phenomenon explains many scriptural quotations and common sayings that have puzzled the intellect, such as, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” and “Those who have, get.” As a general rule, therefore, people who are carrying the consciousness of apathy bring poverty circumstances into their lives, and those with a prosperity consciousness bring abundance into their lives.

Because all living things are connected on vibrational energy levels, our basic emotional state is picked up and reacted to by all life forms around us.

True strength and power comes from the ability to stick by one’s principle’s no matter what… The rule is: no compromise with that which benefits and supports the lives of everyone, that which inspires, that which uplifts, that which validates, and that which honors life.  Success comes from understanding the nature of life.  Once it is comprehended, nothing but success is possible. This doesn’t mean that struggle may not ensue; in overcoming old ways of being and adopting new ones, there may indeed be a period of struggle.

Dedication is a more important sign of integrity than enthusiasm.  It is necessary to have faith in a pathway and clear away doubts to ascertain if they are realistic or merely forms of resistance.  A seeker should have the security and support of inner certainty and firm conviction that are consequent to study, personal research, and investigation. Thus, a pathway should be intrinsically reconfirming by discovery and inner experience.  A true pathway unfolds, is self-revelatory, and is subject to reconfirm action experiential.

The source of pain is not the belief system itself but one’s attachment to it and the inflation of its imaginary value.  The inner processing of attachments is dependent on the exercise of the will, which alone has the power to undo the mechanism of attachment by the process of surrender.  This may be subjectively experienced or contextualized as sacrifice, although it is actually a liberation.  The emotional pain of loss arises from the attachment itself and not from the “what” that has been lost.

Each of us has within us a certain reservoir of suppressed and repressed fear. This quantity of fear spills into all areas of our life, colors all of our experience, decreases our joy in life, and reflects itself in the musculature of the face so as to affect our physical appearance, our physical strength, and the condition of health in all of the organs in the body.  Sustained and chronic fear gradually suppresses the body’s immune system.  … Although we know that it is totally damaging to our relationships, health, and happiness, we still hang on to fear.  Why is that?

We have the unconscious fantasy that fear is keeping us alive; this is because fear is associated with our whole set of survival mechanisms. We have the idea that if we were to let go of fear, our main defense mechanism, we would become vulnerable in some way.  In Reality, the truth is just the opposite.  Fear is what blinds us to the real dangers of life.  In fact, fear itself is the greatest danger that the human body faces. It is fear and guilt that bring about disease and failure in every area of our lives.

We could take the same protective actions out of love rather than out of fear. Can we not care for our bodies because we appreciate and value them, rather than out of fear of disease and dying? Can we not be of service to others in our life out of love, rather than out of fear of losing them? Can we not be polite and courteous to strangers because we care for our fellow human beings, rather than because we fear of losing their good opinion of us? … Can we not perform our job well because we care about the recipients of our services, rather than just the fear of losing our jobs or pursuing our own ambition?  Can we not accomplish more by cooperation, rather than fearful competition? …On a Spiritual level, isn’t it more effective if, out of compassion and identification with our fellow human beings, we care for them, rather than trying to love them out of fear of God’s punishment if we don’t?
