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

To evolve spiritually is actually the greatest gift one can give the world, and that is done by virtue of what one is and not just by what one does.  A useful technique to bypass mentalization is that of creative visualization in which the desired  goal is envisioned and held in mind periodically.  Potentiality tends to manifest  when conditions are favorable, and intention (plus karmic propensities) is a contextual influence.  In ordinary mentation, logic and sequence are seen as causal and also needful of effort.  Envisioning is influential on outcome by entirely different (and easier) mechanisms.  What is held in mind tends to manifest and the technique is utilized in diverse areas, including sports and even business.  The higher the level of consciousness, the greater the likelihood that what is held in mind will actualize. Thus, to see solutions that .serve the highest goal is more powerful than simply projecting fulfillment of merely personal selfish desires and gain.

Most people have jobs, families and many distractions.

A. The conscious pursuit of spiritual goals is the result of a choice and a decision.  It actually requires only a willingness and the capacity to follow through .  Even a simple spiritual concept is a deceptively powerful tool, the  simple decision to be kind, forgiving, and compassionate to all life in all its expressions, including one’s own self, is a scalpel that is capable of removing the major impediments to spiritual progress. 

Wit humility, one can see that the mind is limited and incapable of seeing all the circumstances surrounding any event.  Out of this arises the willingness to let go of condemnation and judgment.  This process results in a willingness to surrender one’s experience of the world to God.  It becomes apparent that the world doesn’t really need one’s personal opinions about anything at all. If one decides to take a charitable view of life’s events, then alternate ways of interpreting circumstances appearances and other options opens up.

What is the process of Self-Healing? What are the consciousness techniques we can apply to bring about a reversal of dis-ease?  We begin by letting go of resisting the sensations we are experiencing, and we stop labeling them…

Steps for Self-Healing

To put it simply, the consciousness technique of radical truth has these five steps in healing a particular illness:

1.  Letting Go of resisting the sensory experience of it.
2. No longer putting names or labels on it.
3. Using no words at all in the welcoming of the experience of the inner sensations.
4. Canceling the mental label, thought form, and belief system, and replacing it with the truth:  I no longer believe in that.  I am an infinite being, and I am not subject to that.  I am only subject to what I hold in mind.
5. Choosing the energy field of Love, which heals.

…whose nature is said to be Love, then why do bad things happen to good people?

A: “Good” or “bad” is your perception.  Adversity can actually be seen as a gift.  Many cancer survivors will tell you, “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.” Divinity is omniscient and you are not.  Your perception is not Reality.  What you perceive as “unfair” might just be the means of liberation.  What you’re wanting to know is whether there is intrinsic justice in the world and whether happenings in the world emerge justly and fairly.  Yes, they do.  Human life is karmically fair, completely and totally.  Everyone is steering their own canoe.

As Love is the Ultimate Law of the Universe (statement calibrates at 750), each person is born into the circumstances of maximal spiritual benefit.

These are always felt as pleasant and include such feelings as joy, happiness and security.  They instigate a process of thinking and ideation that is exemplified by the thoughts “I can” and “We can,” regardless of the event, situation, or problem in which the person is involved.

Positive feelings flow naturally when negative feelings are not in action.  Nothing needs to be done to acquire positive feelings, as they are part and parcel of our natural state.  This positive inner state is always there, and it is merely covered over by suppressed negative feelings.

When the clouds are removed, the sun shines forth.  The freeing up of abilities, creative ideas, talents, and resourcefulness occurs automatically as a result of the positive state of mind that ensues when the negative aspects have been surrendered.  Letting go of negativity frees up inspiration to create an endless flow of creative ideas.

...It is as if the energy field of creative genius is available and waiting for us as soon as we surrender the cloud of negativity that prevent its revelation to us.
