1. Quotes by D. Hawkins on Recommendations by D. Hawkins / Empfehlungen
1.1 Diverse Quotes
- Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives, is the most powerful transformational force of all. It produces no backlash and no downside, and never leads to loss or despair. It increases one's own true power without exacting any toll. But to reach maximum power such kindness can permit no exceptions, nor can it be practiced with the expectation of some selfish reward. And its effect is as far reaching as it is subtle. Power vs. Force
