Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

Every civilization is characterized by native principles. If the principles of a civilization are noble, it succeeds; if they are selfish, it falls. As a term, "principles" may sound abstract, but the consequences of principles are quite concrete. If we examine principles we will see that they reside in an invisible realm within consciousness itself. Although we can point out examples of honesty in the world, honesty itself as an organizing principle central to civilization is nowhere independently existent in the external world. True power, then, emanates from consciousness itself; what we see is a visible manifestation of the invisible. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. , Hay House, Februar 2002

Differentiation between surrender and sacrifice

These [surrender and sacrifice] are arbitrary terms which presume that one is looking at spiritual principles from the viewpoint of the ego's vested interests and justifications for negativity. To the ego, spiritual principles represent a possible loss of positionality, but from the viewpoint of spirit, they are gains.
The primary surrenders and sacrifices have to do with the substitution of humility for vanity. In actual practice, one merely relinquishes the vanities of opinionation and judgmentalism. The Eye of the I, S. 66, 2001

Consistent application of any spiritual principle can unexpectedly result in a very major and sudden leap to unanticipated levels. At that point, memory may not even be available, and instead, the Knowingness of Spiritual Truth presents itself silently. Spiritual students should accept the reality that they are already gifted. A serious reader of a book such as this could hardly be otherwise. Divinity knows its own; therefore, to accept that truth is to already feel joy. To not experience joy by understanding this means that it is being resisted. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 18 Full Enligtenment, S. 304, 2001

The linear vs. the nonlinear Absolute

Mere presumptions vs. self-revealing principles

Adherence to basic spiritual principles is requisite to major transformation and of these, faith, devotion, and surrender are its primary modalities. It merely requires the surrendering of any and all belief systems and the understanding that all fear is an illusion due merely to clinging to a positionality and its perceptions, including one's adherence and faith in the familiar, customary paradigm of 'reality'. Nothing is actually the way the ego has perceived it for the linear dimension is merely presumptive, and the nonlinear Absolute is a very different paradigm that operates on totally different principles that are self-revealing' rather than sequential understandings or comprehension. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 18 Full Enligtenment'', S. 266, 2006

As mentioned previously, René Descartes made the seminal observation that there is the mind itself (res interna/cogitans), and then there is external reality (res externa – the world or nature as it is). The principle could be seen as a way of stating the difference between perception and essence. That there is often great disparity between the two conditions is the dilemma of humankind, as has been noted by the sages of history, such as in Socrates' dictum that man always chooses what appears to be the 'good', but his difficulty is that he cannot tell the 'real' good from that which is illusory (i.e., differentiate appearance from essence). Note that 'do-gooders' (cal 190) frequently bring about long-term social disasters (Charen, 2004). Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, S. 76, 2008

One basic principle has the power to resolve the problems of the social marketplace. Support the solution instead of attacking the supposed causes. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. 176, January 2011

The way men tradtionally cross over the level of 200, the way you cross over from [moral] cowardice to integrous courage is you literally do walk into the bullets in the name of a higher principle is you literally do walk into the bullets in the name of a higher principle, in the name of God, country, the king, divinity, womanhood, the family, university, for whatever reason you do it is for some higher principle other than an egoistic one. And you transcend it and you never have to return below 200. Audio lecture and Q&A by David R. Hawkins, How to Instantly Tell Truth from Falsehood About Anything, part 4 of 6, presented by Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Shiftinaction.com, 17.

Question (woman): I have a little 17 year old at home who is spreading the word Hawkins. [...] She is such a devoted disciple.
Answer: Share the principles, not the person through which you heard the principles. [...]
Question (woman): She heard your voice above all else.
Answer: Principles above personalities. [Applause] It's the principles not who you heard them from.

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen

Softer than the flower where kindness is concerned;
stronger than the thunder where principles are at stake.
Paramahansa Yogananda [Mukunda Lal Ghosh] [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Bengalian Indian Hindu sage, yogi, philosopher, author

The law that operates outside is the law of the cosmos. There are no two laws – God's law and man's law; universal law and individual law. No such thing is there. Such thing as 'my law' or 'your law' does not exist. There is only one law operating everywhere, in all creation, visible or invisible, in all realms of being. The same law is there for the celestials, the humans and the subhuman creatures. Everyone is controlled by a single principle of ordinance. That is called Dharma. It operates as gravitation in the physical level; it operates as love in the psychological level; it operates as chemicals in the chemical level and it operates as integration of thought in our mental level, the level of cognition and thinking. It ultimately operates as the connecting link between the subject and the object, on account of which there is knowledge of anything at all. That is called Dharma. Dharma is an integrating force of anything that is even apparently in disparity. Anything that is disconnected, apparently isolated, not visibly connected, is actually connected, and that connecting principle is called Dharma. And Dharma becomes an integrating principle because of the presence of the Ātman that is behind it. There is no such thing as Dharma independent of the operation of the Ātman. What you call Dharma or law is the Ātman working. Its own law is its Being; its Being is its law; they are not two different things. […]
This Being which is responsible for the interconnectedness of things has become, what you call, the living and the non-living; the visible and the invisible; the creatures which are two-footed and those that are four-footed. He became the subtle body and then the gross body by means of a subtle instrument known as the Linga Śarīra or Sukshma Śarīra. The very Being became the vital consciousness of all physical bodies, and He is present in everybody. The Body that is Universal and the body that is particularised – there is nothing that it is not enveloping. Swami Krishnananda (1922-2001) Indian Hindu saint, disciple of Swami Sivananda, General Secretary of the Divine Life Society, Rishikesh, India (1958-2001), The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, chapter II Fifth Brahmana: Madhu-Vidya.

The ancients, who were superior to us and dwelt nearer to the Gods, have handed down a tradition that all things that are said to exist consist of a One and Many and contain in themselves the connate principles of Limit and Unlimitedness. Plato [LoC 485] (427-347 BC) Ancient Greek pre-Christian philosopher, founder of the occidental philosophy, Philebus, 16c, 360-347 BC

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) US American philosopher, poet, essayist, lecturer, Unitarian, Self Reliance Essay, 1841

Principles under constant testing

Principles are invariably tested in the crucible of sacrifice. Nelson Mandela's lessons for faltering contemporary leaders, The Jakarta Post, Amol Titus, 18. July 2007

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) 34th US President, Inaugural Address, 1953

It is of interest that even such a concrete question, namely, why do the Sun and the stars shine, i.e., why are they out of thermal equilibrium with the ambient space, cannot be answered within the known physical laws. Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kozyrev (1908-1983) Russian astronomer, astrophysicist, Causal mechanics and the possibility of experimental studies of the properties of time, published in History and Methodology of Natural Science, 2nd issue, Physics, Moscow (in Russian), pg. 96, 1963

[G]overnance can only be based on clarity of shared intent and trust in expected behavior, heavily seasoned with common sense and tolerance […] [R]ules and regulations, laws and contracts, can never replace clarity of shared purpose and clear, deeply held principles about conduct in pursuit of it. Principles are never capable of ultimate achievement, for they resume constant evolutionary change.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you is a true principle, for it says nothing about how it must be done. Dee Ward Hock (*1929) US American founder and CEO Emeritus of the VISA credit card association, founder of non-profit organization The Chaordic Commons, Birth of the Chaordic Age, Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc., 1999

Only principles endure and these I now possess. [...] For what is success other than a state of mind? Which two, among a thousand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. 'Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.' Augustine "Og" Mandino II (1923-1996) US American bestseller author of The Greatest Salesman in the World, recovering alcoholic

Poem – The Law of Life

The Law Of Life

Whatever you give away today,
Or think or say or do;
Will multiply about ten fold,
And then return to you.

It may not come immediately,
Nor from the obvious source;
But the law applies unfailingly,
Through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,
Be it love or hate or passion;
Will surely bounce back to you,
In some clear or secret fashion.

If you speak about some person,
A word of praise or two;
Soon tens of other people,
Will speak kind words of you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
Not secrets of the brain;
Kind ones bring us happiness,
Petty ones, untold pain.

Giving works as surely as,
Reflections in a mirror;
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back,
But loving brings love nearer.

Remember, as you start this day,
And duty, crowds your mind;
That kindness comes so quickly back,
To those who first are kind.

Let that thought and this one,
Direct you through each day;
The only things we ever keep,
Are the things we give away.
