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.

2. Die Welt ist vollkommen – Eintreten für Werte

Erde, aufgenommen von der Apollo 8 Crew

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.

Er engagiert sich um einer Sache willen zum Wohl des Ganzen, nicht indem er darauf aus ist, andere zu kontrollieren beziehungsweise ein bestimmtes Ergebnis herbeizuführen. Er tritt öffentlich für seine Überzeugung ein. Die Mitmenschen in der nahen und fernen Umgebung werden entweder mitziehen oder nicht.

4.1 Zitate von D. Hawkins

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

4.2 Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

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 avowals

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. February 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 mentioned) Source unknown

You can only do for the world that which you are. Source unknown

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, part 2 of 2, 10. January 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, US magazine Light in Times, Kathryn M. Brinkley, 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. May 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. July 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. January 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. January 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. May 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

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

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

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

With deep prayer and deep humility, the fate of the world can be surrendered to God at ever-deeper levels, for it becomes obvious that all that is witnessed is actually in accord with Divine Providence and Wisdom. Worldly life provides the maximum opportunities for the evolution of consciousness via the undoing of past negative karma and the accrual of positive karma on both an individual and group basis. Transcending Levels of Consciousness, S. 325

Therefore, to benefit the world, it is necessary to change not the world but oneself. […] The purpose of action is to control others. Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 200

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 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. Audio interview The Meaning and Purpose of Life, presented by US web radio station Beyond the Ordinary, minutes 22:00-33:00, 11. January 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, part 1 of 3, minute 00:45, December 2002

Question: What's the point of our physical bodies and realities if we are all one, all the same?
Answer: You're mixing levels. The oneness is the level of context, not of physicality. The One emerging as the many. The oneness of life emerges through multiple expressions. Although multiple in their physicality they were one in the Source of life itself. Form is one of multiplicity, diversity.
Question: So what's the point of the physical?
Answer: It doesn't have to have a point. What do you need a point for?
Question: To make meaning [...]
Answer: Don't give it any meaning. It just is. The world IS. The book I'm writing gives you about 35 different options you can project onto the world.
-Madhouse-, -recuperation ward-, -the world is a joke-, -a tragedy-, -perplexity-, -purpose is salvation-, -purgatorial-, -comedy-, -sadness-.
What you make of the world is your own projection. It's all of those things and none of them.
Sedona Seminar Experiential Reality. The Mystic, December 2007

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.
Audio interview with David Hawkins, presented by Oprah Winfrey Radio Show, "Soul Series'', XM Satellite web radio Channel 156, host Oprah Winfrey, Thursday, 31. May 2007

Gelassenheitsgebet der Anonymen Alkoholiker
Gott, gewähre mir die Demut und die Gnade, das gelassen anzunehmen, was ich nicht ändern kann,
und den Mut, das zu ändern, was ich ändern kann.
Und schenke mir die Weisheit, das eine vom anderen zu unterscheiden.
Reinhold Niebuhr, US-amerikanischer Theologe, Philosoph und Politologe (irrtümlich auch Friedrich Christoph Oetinger, Prälat und Theosoph, zugesprochen), Standard-Gebet bei den Treffen der AA-Selbsthilfegruppen (entstanden 1941-1942)

Veränderung gibt es nur durch Handeln. Seine Heiligkeit, der Dalai Lama

Sei du selbst die Veränderung, die du dir wünscht für diese Welt. Mahatma Gandhi

Weitaus die meisten Politiker halten es nicht für ihre Sache, an Bewusstseinsveränderungen mitzuwirken; sie werden aber immer da sein, wo die Mehrheit ist. Erhard Eppler, Ex-SPD-Politiker

Hege nie Zweifel daran, dass eine kleine Gruppe tiefschürfender Bürger die Welt verändern können. Tatsächlich ist dies bisher das einzige Mittel dafür gewesen. Margret Mead (1901-1978) Kulturanthropologinm Soziologin, Biologin

Tiefgreifende Veränderungen anstreben, heißt, Lösungen zu suchen, die v e r l e t z l i c h machen – und genau das lehnen die meisten Menschen ab. [...] Paradoxerweise wirkt genau das, was scheinbar zu nichts führt. [...] Die Ermutigung, sich anderen Menschen gegenüber verletzlich zu zeigen, bietet einen Ausweg aus der Scham. Patrick Carnes, Minneapolis, Wenn Sex zur Sucht wird, S. 254, Kösel-Verlag, 1992

Veränderung ist keine Wahl, sie passiert einfach.
Original: Change is no choice. Change happens. Meryl Streep, Zitat im Film Adaption

Jede aussichtsreiche Veränderung, jeder Sprung auf eine höhere Energieebene und ein erweitertes Gewahrsein, beinhaltet einen Übergangsritus. Jedes Mal, wenn wir eine höhere Sprosse auf der Leiter der persönlichen Entwicklung erklimmen, müssen wir eine schwierige Phase der Initiation durchlaufen. Dan Millman

Die Entschlüsselung der Welt hängt ganz davon ab, wer sie zu welchem Interesse vornimmt. Stanislav Lem

Mich erstaunen Leute, die das Universum begreifen wollen, wo es schwierig genug ist, in Chinatown zurechtzukommen. Woody Allen

Das Maß für den geistigen Standort eines Menschen ist das Ausmaß, in dem er sich im Widerstreit mit der Welt befindet. Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, genannt Daskalos

4.4 Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen

First we receive the light, then we impart it. Thus we repair the world. Kabbalah

And the leaves of a tree are for the healing of the nations. Revelations 22, 2 (NT)

With our thoughts we create the world. Buddha

Words have the power to destroy or heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world. Thomas J. Cottle, sociologist, licensed clinical psychologist, Professor of education, Boston University

Really there is no East, no West, Where then is the South and the North? Illusion makes the world closed in. Enlightenment opens it on every side. Inscription on the inside of the hats of Japanese Buddhist Pilgrims

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Mahatma Gandhi

Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something. Sri Swami Satchidananda

Clever men place the world into cages, but the wise woman who must duck under the moon throws keys to the rowdy prisoners. Hafiz, Sufi poet

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn’t make any sense. Rumi, Sufi poet

I am I – and you are you.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
I do my thing – and you do your thing
and if by chance we meet – it's beautiful.
And if not – it can't be helped. Fritz Perls, Gestalttherapeut

In some sense we might say that the world that we live in now needs a little fierce grace. [...] A realized being in each of us consists of ego, soul and number 3, which is God inside of us. [...] A realized being is somebody that identifies with number 3. [...] A realized person marches to a different drummer. [...] Most of our society works from the outside in, however compassion is the inside out. Video interview with Ram Dass, Be here now, wheelchair-stricken since his stroke which he calls an indeniable 'fierce grace', 2002

Today the human soul asks the question: What can I do to preserve the beauty and the wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger and hatred? Please seek to answer that question today, with all the magnificence that is You. Others are waiting for you now. They are looking to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength, for understanding, and for assurance at this hour. Most of all, they are looking to you for love. His Holiness the Dalai Lama

It is no longer possible for us to live as pale and diminished versions of ourselves. For a new world in a new millennium, we need a new mind with expanded senses and a deepened Spirit. Dr. Jean Houston, visionary, scholar, psychologist, philosopher, cultural anthropologist

Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. Helen Keller

Consciousness is part of our universe, so any physical theory which makes no proper place for it falls fundamentally short of providing a genuine description of the world. Roger Penrose, Shadows of the mind, Consciousness and computation, S. 8

Go to the bottom of the soul and you will find the world. Carl Gustav Jung, psychiatrist, CH

The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings. Martin Buber

Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine. Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) English astronomer

There is no sense in trying to save the world, because the world you see doesn’t even exist. Ramana Maharshi

Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead

The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein, cited in: Gad Yaacobi, Breakthrough. Israel in a Changing World, pg. 98, 1996

The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe. Albert Einstein

Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, and go do it! Because what the world needs is people who have come alive! Howard Thurman

To save the world requires faith and courage: faith in reason, and courage to proclaim what reason shows to be true. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, social reformist, pacifist

If I don't know who I am I want some hard facts or some fundamentalism real fast to take away the anxiety of all the unknowing.
If a person doesn't know the story inside them already it is unlikely that they catch the story of the world that is ongoing. CD Audio presentation by Michael Meade, storyteller, author, mythologist, The Light Inside Dark Times, presented by MosaicVoices.org

Nature does not do our human either "this" or "that". [...] Nature is very conservative with things that work well and very radical when things don't work. When there is crisis it's an opportunity for change. Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, post-Darwinian creationist evolutionary biologist, pastist/futurist, former UN consultant, Creating a Global Family with the Help of Biology, World Wisdom Council, sponsored by Goi Peace Foundation, Theme Creating a New Civilization, Tokyo, November 2005, Google video, minutes 9:43-10:11, 24:48 minutes duration, posted 17. February 2008

Newton and Descartes offered the first scientific mechanical creation story.
Thomas Malthus, a chief economist, coined the the idea 'We are doomed to an endless struggle in scarcity', a rationale for the East India Company to steal from the world.
The original theory of evolution goes back to Darwin's grandfather. Darwin who had adopted the Malthusian model of scarcity had observed competition and cooperation in nature. In his evolutionary theory he had to subvert the cooperation part as it didn't fit the scarcity theory.

The universal struggle for life must be thoroughly ingrained in the mind or the whole economy of nature with every fact in it will be dimly seen or misunderstood. It is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdom. George Darwin, The Origin of Species, quoted by Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, post-Darwinian creationist evolutionary biologist, pastist/futurist, former UN consultant, Creating a Global Family with the Help of Biology, World Wisdom Council, sponsored by Goi Peace Foundation, Theme Creating a New Civilization, Tokyo, November 2005, Google video, minute 6:52, beginning minute 5:08, 24:48 minutes duration, posted 17.
