Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

When the criticalness and discrimination of dualistic perception are set aside, the absolute perfection and beauty of everything stands revealed. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of The I, S. ?

In reality, everything occurs of its own, with no exterior cause. Every thing and every event is a manifestation of the totality of All That Is, just as it is at any given moment. Once seen in its totality, everything is perfect at all times and nothing needs an external cause to change it in any way. From the viewpoint of the ego's positionality and limited scope, the world seems to need endless fixing and correction. This illusion collapses as a vanity. The Eye of the I, S. 107

Question: Is perfecting the body and personality then a waste of time?
Answer: It is a diversion and an error of emphasis. The body is a product of nature, and what it does is really of no interest. The mind and personality are products of social milieu, family influence, and cultural programming. A refined and cultured person is an agreeable and valuable social asset, but it is not the Self. The Eye of The I, S. 353

Research reveals the astonishing fact (which calibrates at consciousness level 998) that the circumstances of our birth and life are precisely karmically perfect. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 267

In ordinary life, the ego/mind goes from ‘unfinished’ to ‘finished’, and then from ‘incomplete’ to ‘complete’.
In contrast, the spiritual pathway is a direction and style that goes from complete to complete as evolutionary stages of emergence.
Ego positions are interactive and usually represent a composite. Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 64

Presume that the world's actual 'purpose' is perfect and fully known only to God. See it as neutral overall but with the benefit that it provides optimal opportunity for spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness. It is a school for the enlightenment and the revelation of Divinity whereby consciousness/awareness reawakens to is Source. Thus, to pursue enlightenment in and of itself serves the world and God. Devotional Nonduality. Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 168

The willingness to become a forgiving person who nurtures all of life non-judgmentally automatically brings that about within oneself because of the very healing nature of that energy field. It is a condition of good health and the beginning of seeing the perfection of all things and how all things work out for the good. Illness cannot stem from that context. Healing and Recovery, chapter 4 "Health", S. 128

Imperfection exists only in the mind's thoughts. No imperfections exists in the world as it is. The only way to enhance one's power in the world is by increasing one's integrity, understanding, and capacity for compassion. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, S. 188

Look for essence rather than just appearance. Everything is perfect if seen as it really is. Everything is exactly the way it is "supposed to be," whether it is shiny and new or rusty and dusty. Jeffrey, Scott, Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., chapter 3, S. 76, quote 1, Hay House, August 2011

Everything we see is spontaneously being what it is, exactly as it is, at this moment. For anything to be what it is at this moment, it has to fulfill its potentiality, which is innate to its creation and existence. If the universe stopped at this instant, everything would be perfect right now as it is. Each moment is therefore perfect. Opening sentence of D. Hawkins' day lectures, multiple sources

At birth, your exit is already set. You have agreed to take this journey. Everybody is born here by their own agreement. Everyone has a potential for enlightenment. It is your own volition to say yes or no. This world is perfect. You are not perfect. That’s a relief, isn’t it! If you reached perfection, you wouldn’t be here anymore. Make it count. Love people for who they are. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 2 CD set, 13. September 2006

Pray for the vision that you see the perfection of everything. That is why I never get exited about changing the world, because it is absolutely perfect. If our purpose is to grow spiritually, what could be better than what we have here. We have a million choices every second. That is how you gain karmic merit. If you didn’t have the option, there is no karmic merit. The fact that we are in the midst of so many choices is how we grow spiritually. Ask God to reveal to you the perfection of all things. Then it becomes obvious to you to see the perfection of all that is. It is perfect to be where you are at this moment. As you focus on the beauty of life, Divinity shines forth. The perfection of creation shines forth and you see everything is happening spontaneously of its own. Everything is wondrously perfect. Even if you are not at 540, that is perfect too and just let it go. A perfect question! Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 2 of 2, track 5, 13. September 2006

Everything is perfect just the way it is. And you can pray for that understanding. 'I pray for the vision that I see the perfection of everything.' Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 2 of 2, track 5, 13. September 2006

I never get enthused about changing the world because it is absolutely perfect. If our purpose is to grow spiritually, what could be better than what we have here.

A perfect question!   You are respecting the grace and gift of life […] to be the perfect expression of your own potentiality.  […]

Question: Is everything that happens seamless and perfect?
Answer: Seamless and perfect? Is everything that is happening perfect? Is everything that is happening in God's World perfect? (He asks the audience. They mumble yes in unison.) (Laughter) It's perfect within a certain context of what perfect means. Like people pray for perfect peace. They mean worldly peace. The world has been at war 97% of man's history. Maybe mankind fails 3 % of the time. Sedona Satsang Q&A, CD 2 of 2, transcribed by Jon Kalman, Estland, 10. January 2007

It's not permissible to beat up on yourself. No beating on yourself for not being perfect. To not be perfect is perfect. If you were perfect you wouldn't be a human being, you would stay in heaven. Everything is a gift from God. Cottonwood Satsang Q&A, 2 CD set, 16. July 2011 – How does one get over approval seeking?, YouTube film, minute 1:39, 2:29 minutes duration, posted by veritaspub 11.

No one can attain perfection while he is in the body for the simple reason that the ideal state is impossible so long as one has not completely overcome his ego, and ego cannot be wholly got rid of so long as one is tied down by the shackles of the flesh. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one's love upon other human individuals. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter, cited by: Petri Liukkonen, Ari Pesonen, Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), 2008

A perfect relationship, I think, is one that delivers the lessons we have chosen to learn. Likely it won't always meet our definition of "bliss."
