1.2 Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins
- Resistance to change or growth is considerable. Most people would rather die than alter those belief systems that confine them to lower levels of consciousness. Power vs. Force, S. 235
- A great resistance of the ego is the wish to control and derive pleasure from the ego's payoffs. Therefore, the ego creates resistances in the form of fears, including expectations of discomfort, loss from change, or fear of failure. These, however, represent spiritual pride, which also needs to be surrendered. It is an egoistic vanity to presume that Divinity is either pleased, not pleased, or disappointed with human frailties and proclivities. Transcending Levels of Consciousness, chapter 21
- Spiritual evolution is the automatic consequence of watching the mind from the general viewpoint of context rather then content. Instead of trying to force change, it is merely necessary to allow divinity to do so by deeply surrendering all control, resistance, and illusions of gain or loss. It is not necessary to attack illusions but to merely allow them to fall away. It is not necessary, nor fruitful to use force by such mechanisms as guilt, nor is it necessary to try to pursue or propel spiritual evolution because it automatically evolves of it's own accord when the obstacles and resistances of illusions are surrendered. Transcending Levels of Consciousness, chapter 21
- Question: A very interesting statement you made is that "all experience is due to resistence." If ones goes on a long stroll through the forest and experiences the wonder of nature, ist that due to the ego's resistence to reality? Can you clarify this further?
Answer: Well, the person is seeing the woods from a specific locality called I or myself. When that disappears the experiencing is not from a specific locality but more like a generality, as though you are the woods, not different than the woods So, it's a very high state to go into, a state of peace, and the witnessing begins to happen automatically of its own. And eventually, what happens is the sense that 'there is a personal I witnessing' disappears, and the phenomena are occuring spontaneously of their own without any reference to a specific observer.
Question: So is all experience is due to resistance?
Answer: One can witness without experiencing.
Question: But what's the resistance?
Answer: [...] In ordinary life negative feelings are due to resistance, with the relinquishing of that in ordinary life you disappear it as an experiental phenomenon. […] For example, let's say there's a baby crying in the back of the bus, and it's annoying you. As long as you resist it, the baby's gonna keep annoying you. When you suddenly relent to it, it just melds in with the rest of the noise in the bus and doesn't bother you any more.
Question: Okay. So you're talking about surrendering to it?
Answer: Letting go resisting it, you know, it's most phenomenal use is, of course, letting go of negative things [...].

1.4 Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen
- You are always seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, always after happiness and peace. Don’t you see that it is your very search for happiness that makes you feel miserable? Try the other way: indifferent to pain and pleasure, neither asking nor refusing, give all your attention to the level on which 'I am' is timelessly present. Soon you will realize that peace and happiness are your very nature and it is only seeking them through some particular channels that disturb. Avoid the disturbance that is all. To seek there is no need; you would not seek what you already have. '''You yourself are God, the Supreme Reality. Nisargadatta Maharaj
- Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the life of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and those ripples, crossing each other from a million different centers of energy, build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy
- Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. Samuel L. Clemens, alias Mark Twain
- Truth, purity, self-control, firmness, fearlessness, humility, unity, peace, and renunciation. – These are the inherent qualities of a civil resister. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi, Indian Spiritual/Political Leader and Humanitarian 1869 – 1948 (BW 760)
M. Gandhi integrated the teachings on nonviolence of Jainism, Henry David Thoreau's idea of civil disobedience, and the Bhagavad Gita's call to do your duty and fight for the just cause. The resulting fusion thereof changed the political arena of the twentieth century.
- An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. Max Planck
- The resistance to any new idea is proportional to the square of it's importance. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, social reformist, pacifist
