Das Leben hat – ebenso wie die Wahrheit kein Gegenteil.
Es kann nicht aufhören zu existieren. Es kann nur seine Form ändern.
Dr. David Hawkins, Quelle unbekannt
|
Einheit vs. Gegensatzpaare
Eine der wesentlichen und zentralen Aussagen in Hawkins' Lehre ist:
Das Leben hat kein Gegenteil!,
Die Tragweite der unangefochtenen fortwährenden Kontinuität und Umwandlung des Lebens ist derart immens, dass man durchaus länger braucht, sie zu fassen oder sie gar im eigenen Weltbild und Handeln umsetzen zu können.
Dualistisches Denken erschafft Gegenteile von Konstrukten, die jedoch in Wirklichkeit nicht existieren. Im alltäglichen (dualistischen) Denken Sinn ergeben sie allerdings Sinn und sind auch praktisch. Somit gilt das Konstrukt
Tod als Gegenteil von
Leben im Alltagsleben als eine Gegebenheit. Laut Hawkins Aussage gibt es den
Tod jedoch nicht, sondern ein Weiter
leben.
Als Beispiel für Gegensatzpaare von Worten nennt Hawkins gern
Wärme und Kälte. Er erklärt:
Es gibt kein Gegenteil von Wärme. Es gibt nur mehr oder weniger Wärme.
Kalt kann nur etwas relativ zu etwas Wärmeren sein. Es ist genau genommen weniger warm. Somit gibt es nur Wärme und weniger oder mehr Abwesenheit von Wärme. Dies mag wie ein spitzfindiges irrelevantes Wortspiel aussehen, denn für den Alltag erweist sich der Kalt-Warm-Gegensatz doch als recht praktisch.
Übertragen auf das "Gegensatzpaar" Leben versus Tod wird aus einem im Alltagsleben belanglosen Wortspiel eine grundlegende Existenzfrage. Die Auswirkungen dessen sind derart enorm, dass es schwierig ist, sie darzustellen.
Die Menschheitsgeschichte beruht auf dem Überlebenstrieb und dreht sich um Absicherung, Schutz, Ausdehnung, Schaffung und Sicherung von Besitz, Selbstbehauptung, Verteidigung usw.. All das dient dem
Ziel, leben bzw. überleben zu können, getrieben von der
Angst, das Leben könnte aufhören.

Am Leben vorbeigelebt
Sehr kurz und voller Sorgen
Ist das Leben derer,
die das Vergangene vergessen,
das Gegenwärtige vernachlässigen,
vor der Zukunft Angst haben;
wenn sie ans Ende gekommen sind,
erkennen die Unglücklichen zu spät, dass sie,
ohne etwas zu tun, so lange beschäftigt gewesen sind.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (etwa 1-65 n. Chr.)
römischer stoischer Philosoph, Dramatiker, Naturforscher, Staatsmann,

Klar sehen ist eine Gabe
| Aspirant | Was kann ich tun, um die Wirklichkeit zu sehen, so wie sie ist? |
| Meister | Ich habe eine gute und eine schlechte Botschaft für dich, mein Freund. |
| Aspirant | Wie lautet die schlechte Botschaft? |
| Meister | Es gibt nichts, was du tun kannst, um klar zu sehen – es ist eine Gabe. |
| Aspirant | Und wie lautet die gute Botschaft? |
| Meister | Es gibt nichts, was du tun kannst, um klar zu sehen –
es ist ein Gabe. |

Zitate zum Thema Leben, Wirklichkeit und Realität / Life and reality
Zitate von D. Hawkins
- Leben ist die Ausstrahlung GOTTES, die sich als das Universum im Ausdruck von Evolution zeigt. Wir sind sowohl Ergebnis als auch Zeuge der Schöpfung als eines fortlaufenden, ewigen Prozesses. OU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 426
- Realität ist radikal und schmeichelt nicht solchen Verhaltensweisen, die als Nett-Sein beschrieben werden. OU Licht des Alls, S. 431
- Der spirituelle Schüler muss vor allem begreifen, dass das jeweilige innere Wesen dessen, was wir "Realität" nennen, in tiefgreifender Weise durch den bloßen Akt menschlicher Beobachtung beeinflusst und verändert wird. Abgesehen von der Mathematik kann ein Studierender der Quantentheorie schlussfolgern, dass das, was man entdeckt, ein Ergebnis der eigenen Intention ist, insofern dass das, was man findet, davon abhängt, wonach man sucht. FU Licht des Alls, Anhang D, S. 564

Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins
- Life is conducted in the presence of God at all times. Source unknown
- Creation is ongoing. Creation and evolution are one and the same. Source unknown
- Many people can't transcend LoC 200 if their life is calm. That's why many use i.e. war ("running into the bullets") to get over LoC 200. Source unknown
- You're guaranteed to live until the time you die; so don' t worry about it. Source unknown
- It is not possible for anything to cause anything else. Everything is manifesting infinite potentiality by the grace of creation which is continuous. Source unknown
- A multitude of systems has been constructed to try to make that which is incomprehensible comprehensible. To "make sense" has ordinarily meant to be definable in terms that are linear – logical and rational. But the process, and therefore the experience, of life itself is organic – that is to say, nonlinear by definition. This is the source of man's inescapable intellectual frustration. Power vs. Force, S. 53
- Existence is […] a statement that awareness is aware of its awareness and of its expression as consciousness. Power vs. Force, S. 232
- From the viewpoint of singularity, there appears to be multiplicity, but from the omnipresence of simultaneous multiplicity, there is only the singularity of oneness. Omnipresence obliterates any perceptual artifact of either singularity or multiplicity. In reality, neither condition exists. There is neither ‘here’ nor ‘there’; there is neither ‘now’ nor ‘then’; there is neither ‘past’ nor ‘future’; there is neither ‘complete’ nor incomplete’, nor is there ‘becoming’ in that which is already and totally self-existent. Eye of the I, S. 16
- One's life is a continuous gift, and its continuity from moment to moment is sustained by God, not by the ego. The Eye of the I, S. 122
- Question: So What can the spiritual seeker do to be of help to society?
Answer: To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give. It actually uplift s all mankind from within because the nature of power itself. Power radiates and is shared, whereas force is limited, self-defeating, and evanescent. All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving thought, word or deed.
Every forgiveness is a benefit to everyone. The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind. Karma is actually the very nature of the universe because of the innate structure and function of the universe itself. In the universe time is measured in eons. Beyond that, it doesn't even exist at all. Every kindness is therefore forever. The Eye of the I, S. 204
- Reality is neither the one nor the many but is only itself beyond description, dimension, time, locality, beginning, or end. To describe it, even the term "now" is subtly fallacious for it implies the possibility of a "not now". No "not" is possible in Reality, which includes the totality of all that exists and therefore "IS". All error arises from the "is not" and therefore has no reality or need for it to be explained or answered. No error is possible in what actually "IS". The Eye of the I, new-version, S. 358
- Question: How does one find Reality?
Answer: Truth is radical subjectivity. With the collapse of the illusions of duality, including the supposed 'reality' of a separate 'self', there remains only the state of the Infinite 'I', which is the manifestation of the Unmanifest as the Self. There is neither subject nor object. Like infinite space, there is no distance, time duration, or locality. All prevails simultaneously. All is self-evident, self-aware, self-revealing, and total. I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 7 The Radical Reality of the Self, S. 129
- Life is sustained by the Source of life itself which is ever present. The reason we take vitamins is because the quality and principle of the Self enhance the attraction of that which is life enhancing for so long as it is appropriate. When the prescribed duration of life ends then the Self sustains the existence of Spirit life instead of body life. I. Reality and Subjectivity, The Emotions, S. 201
- Human life is characterized by endless trials and errors to escape the maze. At times, for many people, and possibly for most, the world of mirrors becomes a house of horrors that gets worse and worse. The only way out of the circuitous wanderings is through the pursuit of spiritual truth. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 393
- Question: How am I aware or even know that I exist?
Answer: That question is the best that can be acted upon for it leads directly and nonverbally to the ever present Reality. Identify with that quality, capacity or condition of ever present subjectivity which is experienced as an underlying awareness. It is consciousness itself. Identify with that consciousness instead of with the 'what' it is conscious about. That is the direct route to the Self. It is actually the only practice that leads directly through the doorway. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 399
- Life cannot be extinguished but can only change form. (Calibrated LoC 1000.) Truth vs. Falsehood, chapter "Truth: the pathway to freedom", S. 253
On survival itself due to the ego's motives and mechanisms
- Survival is a consequence of the Self, not the self. It is only because of the Self that the ego is of service for a prescribed period of earthly time. When the ego/mind is silenced, life goes on autonomously, paradoxically even seeing effort as effortless. All comes about as a consequence of potentiality's emerging as actuality when conditions permit. Intention is such a condition. Eventually, even intention subsides as the will is surrendered to God. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 224
- The sense of 'real' is the consequence of subjective processing, and thus all supposed 'objectivity' is itself a purely subjective presumption and conclusion. Intrinsic subjectivity is therefore the a priori premise of all mental processing, and it operates as a dominant premise. To be precise and specific, it can be said that 'objectivity' is itself a purely subjective presumption.
The sense of being 'real', however, also accompanies altered states of consciousness, such as dreams, hypnotic and 'oneiric' (fugue) states, as well as hallucinations, delusions, and induced suggestions; UFO abductions (cal. 170); and out-of-body experiences of other realms and 'visions', such as astral trance. Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, chapter 4 Is Reality Subjective or Objective?, S. 83-84
- It takes faith to accept that the law of life, like the laws of indestructibility of energy or matter, guarantees its continuance. Like matter and energy, life cannot be destroyed but can only change form. (This statement calibrates at 1,000.) Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, S. 283

The leap from self-interest to altruism at the threshold of integrity
|
- Life in its beginning is selfish. The core of that life energy is survival. In order to survive it has to get. The core of the ego is to get because it doesn’t have a source of energy within itself. The quality of the ego is primarily self-interest, up to consciousness level 200. At 200 there is a major change from selfishness to altruism. Interview with Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force, US magazine Light in Times, Kathryn M. Brinkley, November 2004
- The most exploitable product or aspect of life is man's intrinsic innocence. The real charlatan knows that within the person there is that vulnerability of innocence and all they have to do is figure out how to get to it. Interview A Conversation with Knowingness, part I of II, presented by Four Corners Magazine, Pamela Becker, April/May 2007
- I view human life as primarily purgatorial – not in the religious sense but experientially. It’s not heavenly nor is it hellish; It’s somewhere in between. We’re here to achieve good karma and undo bad karma, as the Buddhists say. We learn from our mistakes and try to evolve to a higher level. Interview with David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD, presented by US magazine Holistic Networker, Gina Mazza, 17. June 2009
- To be in the space just prior to thought [...] you sense that you are present. You sense that you are in the presence of the allness of us here. Just like when you walk out in nature, just before your stupid mind says, Isn't that a beautiful tree, you catch the space in which you saw the tree's beauty without comment. That's the space you live in. It's just prior to thought. It's easy to just fall back into it. It's not like something you have to accomplish through years of study and meditation. The willingness to trust it and just drop back into that – that that is your reality. Sedona Seminar Perception and Illusion, 3 DVD set, 4. May 2002
- "Life is just one solution after another." The way you hold it in mind is the way you experience it. Tustin, Arizona, Seminar Title unknown, 22. November 2003
- Life is not evil; it's just deficient. It needs to get in order to live. That's how the animal brain arose, as life discovered that it had to go get in order to survive. Sedona Seminar Identification and Illusion, 3 DVD set, 14. August 2004
- To know the one thing: All is happening in and of its own by Divine Ordination [...] in and of itself because of the Infinite Power of the Field of Divinity and for no other reason. That's all you need to know. [Doc's arm flings out.]
Was there a decider there who decided to do that? That's a very hard illusion to break. The difference between being enlightened and not enlightened is merely to see that. To be radically honest means to completely surrender that all things happen by virtue of Divine Providence, by the Infinite Power of the Field of God, by the Will of God [LoC 850] and for no other reason. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, DVD 1 of 3, 16. October 2004
- Life is realized to be eternal and is not subject to death. Sedona Seminar The Ego and The Self, 3 DVD set, 11. December 2004
- The intersection of Divinity with matter is life. Life is incapable of being destroyed. Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD set, 16. April 2005
- The mercy of all of life is harder to see. Human life as the expression of God’s love and Divine mercy. Sedona Seminar Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, 3 DVD set, 21. October 2006
- Life is how you perceive it. The meaning of it is what you project out there. In and of itself, it doesn't mean anything. Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 1 of 2, transcribed by Jon Kalman, Estland, 10. January 2007
- God gave you the gift of life. Therefore your obligation is to revere the gift and not to throw it on the floor and stomp on it. Protecting your own life is protecting the gift of God. He gave me life. He didn't tell me to trash it, or disrespect it, or throw it away. Out of love for God and appreciation for the gift, I preserve this body. today, today. So you respect it in others and you respect it in yourself as well. Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 1 of 2, transcribed by Jon Kalman, Estland, 10. January 2007
- This human life is the most perfect karmic opportunity for advancing your karma and undoing negative karma. Therefore, this world is perfect as it is. Sedona Seminar God vs. Science. Limits of the Mind, 3 DVD set, 17. February 2007
- So you begin to own the worth, the impact of your own life. You see when you dismiss everything as nothing and everything is a joke [...] and that's just a t.v. thing and all this. When you trivialize your life, you're trivial [...] trivializing that which is the most valuable thing that you own [...] and that is your life. So, I say this only to underscore, to guard the sacredness of your life. Your life is sacred. It's because it's sacred, you have the capacity to uplift everyone on the planet – by just what you have become. To verify the sacredness of your life, then, is to verify the sacredness of everyone's life and, thereby, you lift the level of the sea and relieve the suffering of others who are on the other side of the world who don't even know that you exist. So, as we forgive and shine forth that love. [...] I always picture before I go to bed, the relief of the suffering of all sentient beings and the animal kingdom. I picture a little child [...] somewhere, hopeless and next to death, feeling abandoned [...] or some animal laying there suffering then I realize that our intention at that last moment [...] that it can handle the suffering. It can handle it. It can! [...] because of us. So, that's our gift back to Thee, Oh Lord. Amen. Sedona Seminar What is Truth? The Absolute, DVD 2 of 3, approx. minute 1:31:15, 22. July 2007
- Human life is an expression of God's will – an EXPRESSION of GOD! – by which the Godhead fulfills the actualization of It's potentiality. (Calibrated at 560.) Prescott Seminar What is the World?, 3 DVD set, 28. February 2009
- That anything has EXISTENCE is the first stunning thing! By our mere existence we are – all is – Divine! Prescott Seminar What is the World?, 3 DVD set, 28. February 2009

Reality Systems: The Big Picture.
- I've been in about 20 to 30 of these PMRs [Physical material realities] [via (OBE), I've been in about 10 or 12 of these big ones [...] representing different experimental protocols. All of these units are involved in developing consciousness, lowering consciousness entropy. [...] Our experiment that we are part of is one the more lawful experiences. [...] So that means there are more rules. [...] Within this frame on a scale of 1-10 it [the human reality] is probably about an 8 in the number of rules. You need rules to constrain things otherwise you don't have traction. Without rules that make this physical reality it is very difficult to learn. [...] Rules make a difference, make a different game. Video presentation by Thomas Campbell (*1944) US American physicist, consciousness researcher, sponsored by and at London School of Economics, filmed 22. February 2008, Physics, Metaphysics & the Consciousness Connection, part 9 of 18, YouTube film, minute 4:49, 9:00 minutes duration, posted 13. April 2008
Evolution in the universes
- Many different reality frames or dimensions containing sentinent (conscious) entities exist and are interacting according to their own rule sets.
(I know because I have been there [via OBE] as taught by his teacher Robert Monroe) and seen how it works. It is logical and the results fit the data.)
All entities in our larger reality system have the purpose of lowering their entropy by growing up, by becoming more spiritual, by becoming love – i.e. by eliminating fear and ego.
They still have the same job [growing up] than we do. The system exists. It has to lower its entropy. That's how it evolves. There are only three states you can be in. You can be evolving, you can be static [standing still], or you can be de-evolving [dying]. […] You're either evolving or dying, because being in the middle is unstable. [...] Change happens. Everything changes. You're either evolving or you're dying.

- I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) US American First Lady (1933-1945) supporter of of her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal policies, advocate for civil rights
- The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from it an instant. It belongs to you. By it you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with it, and everything is one with you because it left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind, because the Thought of God has left you not, and still abides with you. A Course in Miracles, work book [LoC 600], lesson 165
- Life can never end. It is changeless, immortal consciousness. It may vary in intensity and hue, but it can never end. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher
- Reason is a trap because you’ll be satisfied with answers. If you’re satisfied with answers, you'll never know what life is. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher
- Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. M. Scott Peck [LoC 475] (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, psychotherapist, The Road Less Traveled, Touchstone, 1st edition 1978, 25th anniversary edition, 4. February 2003
- The great scams of life and our own fearful schemes serve to distract us from the pain and beauty of learning to be who we already are at the core of our souls. People talk of being realistic, of paying attention to the "real world," all the while missing any connection to the reality of the deeper self and the wisdom that resides within it.

- Birth is not a momentary event but a permanent process. The goal of life is to wholly be born, and his tragedy is that most of us die before they are fully born.

- Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin (1903-1977) French-Cuban author
- Reality is inconceivable without an experiencing subject, without an ego. It is the product of the exterior world, of the sender and of a receiver, an ego in whose deepest self the emanations of the exterior world, registered by the antennae of the sense organs, become conscious. If one of the two is lacking, no reality happens, no radio music plays, the picture screen remains blank. Albert Hofmann (1906-2008) Swiss chemist, discoverer, synthesizer, ingester of the drug LSD, LSD. My Problem Child. LSD Experience and Reality
