Statt die Welt zu verändern, ändere dich selbst. D. Hawkins
Die Welt verändern?
Hawkins befürwortet in der Regel nicht die verschiedenen Ansätze zur Weltverbesserung und des weltlichen Aktivismus. Für die Wahrheit einzutreten, die es vom Irrtum zu unterscheiden gilt, heißt eine karmische Gelegenheit wahrzunehmen. Der Versuch, die Welt zu verändern, bedeutet, sie mit Zwang kontrollieren zu wollen. Wer sich spirituell auf die Gottheit ausrichtet – mit der Intention als Instrument – handelt im Bereich der Wirkmacht. Hawkins gibt Folgendes zu bedenken:
Du bist für deinen Einsatz verantwortlich, nicht für dessen Ergebnis, denn das Ergebnis hängt von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren ab, die Äonen von Zeit umspannen.

Humanismus (BW 400er) und humanitäre Hilfe und Intervention drücken eine positive Haltung aus mit der Absicht, sich zum Wohl der Mitmenschen zu engagieren.
Echtes Liebendsein (BW 500er) und gar bedingungslose Liebe und Vergebung für alle Wesen auf Erden ist ein Seinszustand ohne Emotionalismus oder Sentimalität, den nur etwa 5 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung dauerhaft erfahren. Er bewegt sich in einem ungleich kraftvolleren Feld, das stärkeren Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des Weltgeschehens hat und die vorhandene Negativität in der Welt ausgleicht.
- Der aktuelle Zustand der Welt ist stets eine vollkommene Widerspiegelung dessen, was ist.
- Ungeachtetdessen empfiehlt Hawkins US-Bürgern, sich politisch zugunsten der Beibehaltung der spirituellen Grundlage der USA zu engagieren, angesichts der Bestrebungen von extremen Gruppen, die den Teil der Ersten Gesetzesänderung der US-amerikanischen Verfassung auszuhebeln versuchen, der dem Kongress nicht das Recht gewährt, Gesetze zu erlassen, welche die freie öffentliche Ausübung von Religionen untersagt.
Den scheinbaren Widerspruch zwischen Fall 1 und Fall 2 erklärt Hawkins so:
Ein Mensch ist, was er ist um seiner selbst willen. Man engagiert sich um einer Sache willen zum Wohl des Ganzen, nicht indem man darauf aus ist, andere zu kontrollieren beziehungsweise ein bestimmtes Ergebnis herbeizuführen. Man tritt öffentlich für seine Überzeugung ein und Andere werden entweder mitziehen oder nicht.
Zitate von D. Hawkins zum Thema Welt (verändern)
Persönliches Bekenntnis
- Ich hatte die erheblichsten Probleme damit, mich über nicht integeres Verhalten zu empören. Man muss seine Neigung, [sich und andere] zu verurteilen aufgeben. So wie die Welt beschaffen ist, dient sie einem großartigen Zweck, denn sie bietet uns die Chance, über das Ego hinauszuwachsen. Es ist eine Welt der Läuterung. Sedona Seminar Emotions and Sensations, 17. April 2004
- Frage: Was können wir tun, um die Welt zu verändern?
Antwort: Das erste, was du tun kannst, ist der Welt einen Gefallen zu tun und nicht zu versuchen, sie zu verändern. Verändere dich selbst. Sedona Seminar Identification & Illusion, bereit gestellt von Consciousnessproject.org, 14. August 2004
- Nur eine Minderheit von Menschen bemüht sich um Selbstverbesserung oder persönliche Entwicklung. Das liegt daran, ungeachtet dessen, wie selbstkritisch man ist, dass man insgeheim glaubt, dass der eigene Weg richtig ist und wahrscheinlich der einzig richtige Weg. Sie sind in Ordnung so wie sie sind, und alle Probleme werden durch den Egoismus, die Unbilligkeit anderer und durch die äußere Welt verursacht. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. ?
- Weisheit zu erwerben ist ein schrittweiser und schmerzlicher Prozess. Nur wenige sind bereit, ihre geläufigen Ansichten, aufzugeben, selbst wenn sie unzutreffend sind. Der Widerstand gegen Veränderung oder Wachstum ist beträchtlich. Die meisten würden lieber sterben als die Glaubensüberzeugungen umzustellen, die sie an geringere Bewusstseinsebenen binden. FU Die Ebenen des Bewusstseins, S. ?
- Wir verändern die Welt nicht mit dem, was wir sagen oder tun, sondern als Folge dessen, was wir geworden sind. Demzufolge dient jeder spirituelle Aspirant der Welt. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. ? / Das All-sehende Auge, S. 69
- Obgleich die wahrgenommene Welt in Wirklichkeit nicht in einem absoluten Sinn real ist, denken die Menschen doch, sie sei es. OU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 352
Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins zum Thema Welt / World
But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6, 33 (NT)
Personal avowal
- A thing [project] gains ground of its own quality. If you put it out there, it comes to its own level of buoyancy without compelling it. If it's prepared and presented with love, that is all you need to do. The rest takes place of its own. Once I have written something, I am done. When you have a vested interest, it’s hard to be objective. Sedona Seminar God vs. Science, 17. Februar 2007
- The thing I had the most problems with was being indignant at non-integrity. You have to give up judgmentalism. The world as it is serves a great purpose because we have the chance to transcend the ego; it's a purgatorial world. Sedona Seminar Emotions and Sensations, 17. April 2004
- When its your turn to save the world, you'll be notified. (jokingly)
- You can only do for the world that which you are.
- Real renunciation is about letting go of one's attachments and programs to the linear. To me renunciation is an inner process. You can act it out, withdraw from the world and not be disturbed. And I did that for some years. But that was just an interlude. Why? Because in renunciation when you come back into the world it's a continuous inner condition. What the world would see as a temptation is to you meaningless. You don't experience it as a temptation so you don't need to avoid the world. Sedona Satsang Q&A, Teil 2 von 2, 10. Januar 2007
- What we come into the world as, as a result of our past decisions, has a certain configuration. Within the Infinite Field everyone is automatically positioned as a consequence of the Field — not as a consequence of a personal decision. […]
I see the world as a maximum karmic opportunity to evolve. In our world you have the strata of humanity, from the lowest (people who calibrate at LoC 40) to the highest (people in the high LoC 500s). The purpose of any incarnation is to maximize a karmic opportunity. Interview Power vs. Force, Kathryn M. Brinkley, US-Zeitschrift Light in Times, November 2004
- Contemplation is a way of being in the world, not wanting to change it. Let it be what it is. […]
You pull back from being in the middle of the drama to being the witness, to being the watcher, to being the whole context in which everything occurs. You make that a style, a way of being in the world. You are not doing. You are allowing. Yin. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 10. Mai 2006
- Be with the world without resisting. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 13. September 2006
- Be friendly, kind and benign to the world […] You don't need other special gifts, something exceptional. The intention is sufficient and then ask God to reveal to you more about what you should be doing. That which you are is your gift to the world. Sedona Seminar Perception vs. Essence, 22. April 2006
- Trying to change the world is presuming you know better than God how the world should be. […] This is a transitional planet. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 12. Juli 2006
- I don't view the world. Pay attention to the processing of the world. The world is irrelevant. […] Notice that what you think is attachment to the world is all in your head. What is going on is the processing in your mind. It has nothing to do with the world. Let go of your attachment to the processing about the world. If it weren't for the processing, you wouldn't even think there was a world out there. […] Get closer to the phenomenon of the processing of the input. […] You are identifying with the data of the processing. […] Look at the phenomenon of the witnessing-observing that is going on. Look at the front of the camera, not what the camera is taking a picture of. The witnessing phenomenon stays the same. You are saying what's out there is what it's about. You think that the data being accumulated is what's real. I am saying no, it's the witnessing. And whatever you witness is irrelevant. Witnessing is the closest to the source. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 10. Januar 2007
- Question: How to live a normal life being in the world and being spiritual?
Answer: The outer self is sort of compromising, with a persona. That has no influence at all on the reality that it is. You find that inner reality within yourself. At the same time, you have a persona that interacts with the world, so you are doing two things, being complete and whole, and also still gathering information for reasons we don't know yet. Maybe you are a spirit guide in training. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 10. Januar 2007
- Question: What can we do to help the world and to stop Global Warming?
Answer: Don't try to heal the planet. That is the province of Divinity. Try to become the most loving creature you can become. Become the most perfect human being you can be.
Shocking as it may seem, the world is perfect as it is. […] Global Warming is due to the magnetic activity of the surface of the sun. It is not due to environmental changes. The temperature of the earth is regulated by the magnetic activity of the surface of the sun. Environmental conditions only affect it less than 1%. Sedona Satsang Q&A, 10. Mai 2006
- Question: But isn't one supposed to take positions in life, such as protesting injustices, etc.?
Answer: The mind of the aspirant has to bypass and refuse temptations. Later it will be seen that nothing was lost as that temptation was just another illusion. The aspirant gives up the vanities of opinionation and the duties of saving the world. One's spiritual evolution is of greater value to society than any form of doingness. The level of compassion radiates out and contributes silently to mankind's wisdom. I. Subjectivity and Reality, S. 301
- The question is always whether to be at the effect of the world or aligned with the Truth of God instead. The search for enlightenment is different from that of seeking worldly success. I. Subjectivity and Reality, S. 355
- What the people in the world actually want is the recognition of who they really are on the highest level, to see that the same Self radiates forth within everyone, heals their feeling of separation, and brings about a feeling of peace. To bring peace and joy to others is the gift of the benevolence of the Presence. The Eye of The I, S. 91
- With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly 'for their own good'. To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society. In fact, nobody's ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one's own mind. No such world exists. The Eye of The I, S. 107
- In Reality, everything is automatically manifesting the inherent destiny of its essence; it doesn’t need any external help to do this. With humility, one can relinquish the ego’s self-appointed role as savior of the world and surrender it straight to God. The world that the ego pictures is a projection of its own illusions and arbitrary positionalities. No such world exists. The Eye of the I, S. 107
- It is a Karmic opportunity to stand for truth; this doesn’t mean you are trying to change the world. The intention is different. To change the world is to control things, all you can do is to stand up for what you believe in and the consequences are beyond your control. Your Karmic responsibility is to yourself in relationship to Divinity, and that is what your concern should be. Webradio-Interview The Meaning and Purpose of Life, US-Webradio-Sender Beyond the Ordinary, Minute 22:00-33:00, 11. Januar 2005
- All you can do is stand up for what you believe in and the consequences are beyond your control. The idea is not to change the world. No. You're not going to change the world. There are many fish in the sea and if one fish makes a change in direction it does not change the sea.Your karmic responsibility is to yourself and in relationship to Divinity, and that's what your concern should be. Webradio-Interview The Meaning and Purpose of Life, US-Webradiosender Beyond the Ordinary Webradio-Interview, Minute 22:00-33:00, 11. Januar 2005
- When you're attacked, what should your position be? The position should be to stand up for truth, to be answerable and to stand for truth. Whatever the consequences. That's what Mahatma Gandhi (LoC 760) did. […] The context is the power. Power just stands there. It doesn't do anything. […] Being what it is. […]
Therefore, Gandhi defeated the British Empire (LoC 190) without a shot. Gorbatschev (LoC 500) defeated the (communist) Russian monolithic regime, also without firing a shot. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self. The Final Moments Teil 1 of 3, Minute 00:45, Dezember 2002
- Question: So What can the spiritual seeker do to be of help to society?
Answer: To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give. It actually uplifts all mankind from within because the nature of power itself. Power radiates and is shared, whereas force is limited, self-defeating, and evanescent. All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving thought, word or deed.
Every forgiveness is a benefit to everyone. The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind. Karma is actually the very nature of the universe because of the innate structure and function of the universe itself. In the universe time is measured in eons. Beyond that, it doesn't even exist at all. Every kindness is therefore forever. The Eye of the I, S. 204
- Oprah Winfrey: One of the things that I love that you say is: "For it's only the illusion of individuality that is the origin of all suffering. When one realizes, that one is the Universe complete and at one with all that is forever without end, then no further suffering is possible." Well, the question is: How do we all begin to realize that? […]
David Hawkins: Well, you can't transcend the world till you master it. […]First you master the world, then let go of your attachments to it. You let go of the desires and aversions.
