Wenn man sich mit innerem Verständnis die Bedingung des Menschseins so vor Augen hält, wird einem klar, dass die Aussichten auf eigenes Überleben, Glück und Erfolg aufgrund der beschränkten Mittel fragwürdig sind. Es gelingt weitgehend nicht einmal das Überleben, und Millionen Menschen sterben durch vielerlei gefährliche Fallen und Katastrophen. Selbst wenn man persönlich nichts damit zu tun hat, kann man mitgefangen werden in den Ego-Problemen der Gesellschaft, welche als Krieg, Pest, Hungersnot oder Unfälle zum Ausdruck kommen. D. Hawkins, FU Licht des Alls, S. 102-105, 2006

Des Daseins unendliche Kette

Grenzen der Menschheit

Wenn der uralte Heilige Vater
Mit gelassener Hand aus rollenden Wolken
Segnende Blitze über die Erde sät,
Küß' ich den letzten Saum seines Kleides,
Kindliche Schauer treu in der Brust.

Denn mit Göttern soll sich nicht messen
Irgendein Mensch.
Hebt er sich aufwärts und berührt
Mit dem Scheitel die Sterne,
Nirgends haften dann die unsichern Sohlen,
Und mit ihm spielen Wolken und Winde.

Steht er mit festen, markigen Knochen
Auf der wohlgegründeten, dauernden Erde;
Reicht er nicht auf,
Nur mit der Eiche oder der Rebe
Sich zu vergleichen.

Was unterscheidet Götter von Menschen?
Daß viele Wellen vor jenen wandeln,
Ein ewiger Strom:
Uns hebt die Welle, verschlingt die Welle,
Und wir versinken.

Ein kleiner Ring begrenzt unser Leben,
Und viele Geschlechter reihen sich dauernd
An ihres Daseins unendliche Kette.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [BW 465] (1749-1832) deutscher Schriftsteller, Bühnendichter, Poet, Universalgelehrter

Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

You are not the content of consciousness, you are consciousness itself. Source unknown

Each person lives in a goldfish bowl of their own making, in the experiential world of their own specific level of consciousness. Source unknown

To become more conscious is the greatest gift anyone can give to the world. 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

People would do better if they could. Source unknown

A person can't be anything other than what they are, or else they would be. Source unknown

You're guaranteed to live until the time you die; so don' t worry about it. Source unknown

Below LoC 200 one is really an animal in a human body. Source unknown

Human condition

Once we really understand the human condition, we will feel compassion where we once might have felt condemnation. Compassion is one of the highest of all energy attractor power patterns. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 86, Hay House edition, February 2002

The primary spiritual gift of human existence is the opportunity that by the option of one’s own free will, Divinity may be chosen or rejected by whatever name God is known. Thus, human life and the permission to incarnate as a human are great gifts in themselves, as was pointed out by the Buddha. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 122, Hay House edition, February 2002

[E]verything and everyone is being what they are simply by the fact of identity. Similarly, people can only be what they have become and are at any given instant. Moralistic categorization can only be a supposition based on the 'could be' hypothetical view. If people actually 'could be' different, they would be. The hypothetical is always invalid because it is a projected idealistic imagination with no basic reality; it therefore always calibrates as false. Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, S. 311, 2008

Humility is not just an attitude, but also a reality based on facts. With inner honesty, a devotee needs to realize the limitation inherent in just being human. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. ?, Reflection of August 29th, January 2011

Animal/Angel conflict

Relief of guilt and greater compassion for oneself and others occurs through realizing that the individual person did not volitionally create the structure of the ego, nor did anybody else. The human condition is primarily a karmic "given" – it can be accepted compassionately as such without condemnation, and is therefore neither good nor bad. Mankind lives in the realm of tension between emotional instincts and the counterbalancing power of spiritual awakening (that is, the animal/angel conflict). Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. ?, Reflection of October 20th, January 2011

Ego is part of the "human condition"

The ego is not the real “you”; it was inherited as part of being born a human. It basically originates from the animal world, and the evolution of consciousness happened through the primitive stages of mankind’s evolution, so it could be said that to seek enlightenment is to recapitulate the history of human evolution. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.], edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 12, quote 1, Hay House, August 2011

There is no timetable or prescribed route to God. Although each person’s path is unique, the terrain to be covered is relatively common to all. The work is to surmount and transcend the common human failings that are inherent in the structure of the human ego. One would like to think that these failings are personal; however the ego itself is not personal. It was inherited along with becoming a human being. Details differ based on past karma. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 31, quote 2, Hay House, August 2011

The appearance in humanity of the realization of God as The Ultimate Reality, and source of Existence and Creation marked the beginning of the emergence of a new, evolutionary branch of mankind called Homo Spiritus [...] the awakened man who has bridged the evolutionary leap from physical to spiritual, from form to nonform, and from linear to nonlinear. The awakened man realizes that it is consciousness itself that constitutes the core of the evolutionary tree in all its seemingly stratified and evermore complex expressions as the evolution of life; the limited scope of causality Article The New Age Has Dawned: Homo Spiritus Is Born, presented by The Author's Den, Linda Tuck-Jenkins, 11. July 2002

When you work with people of 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 and Observing, 4 CD set, 16. October 2004

The fact that you are a human being is already a major karmic demonstration. To be born a human being is a great gift. Treasure it. Don’t get attached to the linear. See the essence out of which you have arisen. Sedona Seminar Experiential Reality, 3 DVD set, 18. February 2006

You are the context rather than the content. You are that from which awareness radiates and out of which consciousness arises. The source is consciousness itself.
The Light of God is consciousness. The Light of God is your own consciousness and as you let go misidentifying with that which you are not, it becomes stunningly apparent. Sedona Seminar Reason vs. Truth, 3 DVD set, 19. August 2006

The herd instinct suppresses the superego. If one person wants to lynch someone it's evil, but if a lot of people do, it's seen as okay. [Paraphrased.] Sedona Seminar The Human Dilemma, 3 DVD set, 18. August 2007

The limitation of human nature is that it seeks an advantage for itself in everything that it does. Sedona Seminar Freedom: Morality and Ethics, 3 DVD set, 8. November 2008

Six percent of the population cannot learn from experience. It is congenital. Don’t condemn but take protection. Cottonwood Seminar Handling Spiritual Challenges, 3 DVD set, 24. April 2010

Ihr seid das Salz der Erde. Wenn aber das Salz seine Schärfe verliert, womit soll es salzig gemacht werden? Es ist zu nichts mehr nütze, als dass es hinausgeworfen und von den Leuten zertreten wird. Ihr seid das Licht der Welt. Eine Stadt, die auf einem Berge liegt, kann nicht verborgen bleiben. Man zündet auch nicht ein Licht an und stellt es unter den Scheffel, sondern auf den Leuchter; dann leuchtet es allen, die im Hause sind. So soll euer Licht leuchten, damit sie eure guten Werke sehen und euren Vater, der in den Himmeln ist, preisen. Matthäus 5, 13-16

An ihren Früchten werdet ihr sie erkennen. Sammelt man etwa Trauben von Dornen oder Feigen von Disteln? So bringt jeder gute Baum gute Früchte, der faule Baum aber bringt schlechte Früchte. Ein guter Baum kann nicht schlechte Früchte bringen, noch kann ein fauler Baum gute Früchte bringen. Matthäus 7, 16-17

The problem with the world is that humanity is not in its right mind. Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter

Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter

The Glory of God is a human being who is fully alive. Saint Irenaeus (2nd century-202 AD) Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul (then Roman Empire, now France) early church father, apologist, author

The Human Races will never again be able to go back to their citadels of high-walled exclusiveness. They have been exposed to each other, physically and intellectually. The shells, which have so long given them full security within their individual enclosures, have been broken, and by no artificial process can be mended again. So we have to accept the fact, even though we have not yet fully adapted our minds to this changed environment of publicity, even though through it we may have to run all the risks entailed by the wider expansion of life's freedom. Rabindranath Tagore [LoC 475] (1861-1941) Indian Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter, playwright, Nobel laureate for literature, 1913, editor Sisir Kumar Das, The English Writings of Rabindranath Tagore, Vol. II.

Bertrand Russell [LoC 465] (1872-1970) British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, visionary social reformist, pacifist

Man's main task in life is to give birth to oneself. Erich Fromm (1900-1980) German American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, humanistic philosopher

Birthday celebrations began as a way of recognizing the spirit that comes to life with each soul born. Originally, there was a single candle representing the inner spirit and shining genius that enters the world at birth. In this sense, a birthday serves as a reminder that each person is gifted; having an inner genius and god-given gifts to bring to life. Michael Meade, US American storyteller, author, mythologist, Mosaicvoices.org, Fate and Destiny, The Two Agreements of the Soul, 30. September 2010

Men on frontiers, whether of time or space, abandon their previous identities. Neighbourhood gives identity. Frontiers snatch it away.

Ultimately, the goal of our growth is to learn to give and receive love. Brenda Wade, Ph.D., US American holistic psychologist, relationship expert, TV host, speaker, author, Relationship Contributor for NBC's Today Show

Despise evil and ungodliness, but not men of ungodliness or evil. These, understand. Have no shame in being kind and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.
In the time of your life, live – so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it. William Saroyan (1908-1981) Armenian US American dramatist, author

You are what I AM

'How could I love you?' said the owl to the rabbit. 'I am what you ARE.'
'Is that so indeed?' the rabbit replied, delicately munching a dandelion.
'How could you hate me?' continued the owl; 'you are what I AM.'
'I never noticed it', observed the rabbit musingly.
'How could it be otherwise?' asked the owl. 'Whatever we are – I AM.'
'Since when?' inquired the rabbit. 'Is it recent?'
'Since always,' answered the owl, 'there is no "Time".'
'Then where does it occur?'
'Everywhere; there is no "Space".'
'So we are really one?' suggested the rabbit cheerfully.
'Certainly not,' snapped the owl. 'there is no "one".'
'Then what is there?' the rabbit inquired dubiously.
'No "thing" whatever!' the owl replied with severity.
'So what?' asked the rabbit, mystified.
'So, life!' said the owl, flapping his great wings and clacking his beak.
'As the Masters said so often, "when I'm hungry – I eat, and when I'm weary – I sleep!"'
