Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins über Fallen / Verleitungen

We think that we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control. Power vs. Force Vorwort
In highly advanced states, when you start to become a serious threat to those forces opposed to God, you can experience psychic attacks. They'll look for anything potentially vulnerable in you, some chakra out of balance, some positionality still held. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 28. Februar 2004
When you work with people with questionable energies, they will sense for your vulnerability, whichever chakra it is, whatever is involved with your karma. As Jesus taught, avoid these energies. Sedona Seminar Witnessing & Observing, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 16. Oktober 2004
The way out is to picture the worst possible scenario and surrender to that. You perpetuate what you resist. Sometimes it’s karmic blockages that need to be resolved, and when you do, it disappears. Sedona Seminar Transcending Barriers, Juni 2005
Distraction is the biggest enemy to spiritual progress. People want to blame it to demons and etc. But really most people just get distracted. [paraphrased] Sedona Seminar Practical Spirituality, 25. Oktober 2008

Zitate von anderen Quellen zum Thema Fallen / Verleitungen

Je höher nämlich Ihr spiritueller Entwicklungsstand ist, desto stärker werden Sie von Versuchungen bedrängt; je weiter Ihre eigene Verfeinerung fortschreitet, desto raffinierter werden die Versuchungen. Das geht schier endlos so weiter. Genau das kommt zum Ausdruck in den Angriffen der Maras auf den Buddha. Dieser Punkt ist, was die eigene persönliche Erfahrung angeht, in gewisser Weise die höchste Entwicklungsstufe in der Welt der Hungrigen Geister. Deshalb müssen die Maras kommen, und deshalb sind die Versuchungen notwendig. Erst durch sie wird der Unterschied zwischen wach und verblendet wirklich klar. Chögyam Trungpa, Die Insel des Jetzt im Strom der Zeit, S. 156, Fischer Verlag, Frankfurt am Main, 1998
Wo du stolperst, da grabe nach dem Schatz. Pädagogenweisheit

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen zum Thema Verleitungen / Temptations

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius
It's clear what you like: having sex, wining and dining, and making yourself a career without having to make an effort. Running after what you like and running away from what you don't like is what is meant by 'wandering around in the impermanent world'. Even a rat begins to run if you give him an electric shock. Kodo Sawaki, zen master, 20th century
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall. Francis Bacon
The universe will test you over and over and over again to make sure that you are committed. Until you are committed you'll always will be rudderless. Once you are committed – I am speaking of personal experience – the universe then falls on line with you and will support you.
If you are committed to being a jerk […] the universe will support you.
If you you are committed to being whatever […] the universe will support you.
If you are committed to do indeed what you say you want to do the universe will support you but it will also test you. It will throw thunderbolts up your butt and say, […] "You think you are really committed now?" And if you can finally stand up and say: "Yes, I absolutely am," you'll be supported. […] People will come and support you, you'll find all sorts of things to support you. Dr. Stan Dale (1929-2007), Transactional Analyst, educator, author, founder of the Human Awareness Institute, Love, Intimacy & Sexuality workshop leader, recipient of the Mahatma Gandhi peace medallion, Are you committed?, 1 min video length, May 1993
