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

Letting go greatly facilitates the power of affirmations.  An affirmation is a positive statement.  Its power is limited by the fact that, either consciously or unconsciously, we have multiple negative programs that are saying the very opposite thing to the affirmation.  You can discover this for yourself by noticing that, as you write affirmations, your mind comes up with, “Yeah, but…”  It is these “Yeah, buts…” that limit the power of the affirmation and reduce its effectiveness.  If you surrender the obstacles to the affirmation, you will notice a rapid increase in their effectiveness.

All things are in a state of silent rejoicing that their consciousness is an experience of Divinity.  Unique to all things is a still, ever-present gratitude that they have been granted the gift of experiencing the presence of God. This gratitude is the form in which worship is expressed. All that is created and has existence shares in reflecting the glory of God.

The Ego is Not the Real You, Pg 83

There is nothing more wonderful than arriving back home again at one’s Source.  The illusion is that one struggles with spiritual growth by one’s own effort; in fact, we are pulled into greater awareness by the Will of God expressed as the Holy Spirit, and all that is necessary is to allow it to happen by surrendering completely. For truly, only God is God.

The infinite presence of all things is beyond all time and space, forever complete, perfect, and whole.  All points of observation disappear, and there is the omnipresence of that which Knows All by the fact that it is All.  As Reality stands forth in its stunning self-evidence and infinite peace, it appears that the block to Realization was the mind itself, which is not different from the ego – they are one and the same.

The Ego is Not the Real You, part III, pg. 101

If the goal of life is to do the very best one can do at each unfolding moment of existence, then through spiritual work, one has already escaped the primary cause of suffering.  In the stop-frame of the radical present, there is no life story to react to or edit.  With this “one-pointedness” of mind, it soon becomes obvious that everything merely “is as it is,” without comment or adjectives.
