• As you grow spiritually you become sophisticated enough to not fall for the ego. Source unknown

• Throughout history and up to the current time, there have been a number of well known 'gurus' who became addicted to sex, power, and money, and who covered up their actions with clever rationalizations. Those who exhibit wealth, a veneer of spiritual trappings, and who approve of sexual acting out attract many followers.
  The basis for this paradox was revealed through spiritual research. Often, the early writings of a famous or popular guru calibrate quite high (usually in the high 400s to middle 500s). Then, after much success and acclaim, the calibrated level of the guru drops precipituously, sometimes to even below 200. Thus, it is not uncommon for there to be a wide disparity between the early writings of a teacher and the teacher's later level of consciousness. In some cases, both recent and current, the resultant misbehaviors create scandal and dismay, and residual followers have to resort to denial to rationalize their continued obedience to a cult or group of adherents. Although the erstwhile guru's own calibration may have fallen significantly, the calibration of the original writings remain the same. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 239-240

• One luciferic temptation is "now that you have transcended all personal karma, all power is your’s”. What would you need power for? When you are complete and total within yourself there is nothing you need or want. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: Final Moments, December 2002

• Question: How could people who's up at 540 or something fall for the seduction of fame, money, power, material goods, trappings?
  Answer: It's because something was missing in their spiritual education. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: Final Moments, December 2002

The impact of lying

• Someone who tells a lie at LoC 185 is in force and doesn't have much impact on the world. Someone who lies at LoC 500 has a great impact. [Note: Hawkins also stated that this brings about a serious karmic consequence.] That's why fallen teachers can do so much damage. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, 28. February 2004

• Some gurus rise up to high levels and then fall, because they didn't do the basics, the foundation, morality, goodness, basic ethics. First perfect the 200's and then move up to higher levels, do not skip any steps. Chicago Seminar, 10. April 2004

• The advance of truth doesn't necessarily bring tranquil waters. In fact, it can disturb things for a while. You now have a new paradigm, and inherent in it is the downfall of the old. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 16. October 2004

• Exposure to spiritual integrity creates neuronal pathways that make it impossible to fall below integrity. This is what you can do for children to help them. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 16. October 2004

• The Luciferic is about LoC 190. Why? Lucifer did not want to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. The Luciferic temptation. The Luciferic distorts reason and logic. It sacrifices truth for relativism; it denies the Absolute. It’s the mad hatter tea party: A thing only means what I say it means. All morality and ethics are hated constraints against the freedom of the id, which seeks no accountability or responsibility. Evil is projected onto some external cause. It feels superior to truth, to Divinity. The satanic is represented by torture, maiming, blowing up buses. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 16. October 2004

• The responsibility of the teacher is to make sure people understand the likelihoods that are held in place, temptations that are attractions, that can bring you down. Sedona Seminar Vision, 25. February 2005

• I remember clearly the moment when the ego surrendered its dominion. The ego's juice is being the source of your life, the experience of being what it considers the center of your life. The ego can't surrender of its own. Once you've surrendered positionalities, you come to understand that you're no longer subject to personal karma, and the temptation arises to assume all power: "All power is yours; own it." I thought, Who the hell would want it? There's a you that was going to have the power. The power isn't with you, anyway. That which you are is the source of your own life. Seminar Sedona Alignment, 16. April 2005

• The Garden of Eden – Adam and Eve fell from the nonlinear to the linear through the intrinsic innocence of the child in the human being who does not know good from bad, and were tempted by the serpent. Sedona Seminar God, Religion, and Spirituality, 10. December 2005

• Question: What is the ultimate purpose of negativity if God is consciousness and love?
  Answer: We looked at the chart showing evolution of consciousness.  Man is on a rising curve. We are transcending the negatives. We are starting to turn down certain negative temptations. They have to come up so you can transcend them and turn them down. The fourth step – (AA) – taking a spiritual inventory of yourself. Take a long tablet! Sedona Seminar Perception vs. Essence, 22.

• The average unsophisticated mind doesn’t understand what the presence of God within a teacher means, and so they wait for something spectacular! Sedona Seminar Is the Miraculous Real?, 9. December 2006

Temptations

• 400s – spiritual education leads to the development of the spiritual ego. "I know that", "I've heard that", etc.
• 500s – the temptation, the weakness, is love-and-seduction. So many of the gurus you read on the Internet today fall for seduction.
  And I warn people, when you get in the high 500s you emanate an energy field of love that is entrancing to people. They fall in love with you. Sedona Satsang Q&A, disc 1 of 2 transcribed by Jon Kalman, Estland, 10. January 2007

• Question: Is it just temptation that lets gurus fall or are there actual demonic entities that are involved?
  Answer: Both. It's hard to explain without making people paranoid. [Laughter] That which is negative is constantly present on this planet, otherwise this would be a celestial realm and calibrate 600+. This is a transition, so in a realm of transition you have the highest and also you have the lowest. There are "demonic energies". In fact when you talk to a very negative person you can feel the energy and its like very unpleasant. The higher you get the less those energies are agreeable and finally you avoid them altogether. And finally you reach a point where they have no effect on you. But for a long time you avoid them. The fallen guru syndrome is upsetting.
