Zitate von David R. Hawkins
- Lediglich die Illusion der Individualität ist der Ursprung allen Leidens. Wenn man erkennt, dass man eins ist mit dem Universum, […] dann ist Leiden nicht mehr möglich.' Dr. David R. Hawkins, FU The Eye of the I'', S. 297
- […] individuelles Karma […] im nicht-physischen Bewusstseinsbereich […] enthält den Code der gespeicherten Information, die dem spirituellen Körper oder der Seele wesensgemäß und ein Teil davon ist. Der Code stellt die Zusammenfassung aller früheren Erfahrungen gemeinsam mit den dazugehörigen Färbungen durch Gedanken und Gefühle dar. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Licht des Alls, S. 343-344
- Äonenlang hat sich Bewusstsein als die Seele entwickelt. Sie verkörpert sich in aufeinander folgenden Lebenszeiten, physisch oder anderes, die alle in der Gewahrseinsebene des Bewusstseins als Karma aufgezeichnet sind. Das Zusammenspiel der karmischen Muster mit der Ganzheit des Universums wird in den Einzelheiten einer bestimmten Lebenszeit ausgedrückt. Sobald einmal die nicht-lineare Realität als Existenz manifest geworden ist, identifiziert sich Bewusstsein mit der Form als Ort des Ichs eines scheinbar getrennten Individuums. Dieses Selbst nimmt für sich Urheberecht in Anspruch und glaubt, es sei die Quelle seiner eigenen Existenz. So wie sich das Bewusstsein der Seele entwickelt, versucht sie sich schließlich mit der wahren Quelle zu identifizieren und wieder zu vereinigen. Wie eine Waise ihre Eltern sucht, verlangt das verwaiste Ego selbst, nach Hause zurückzukehren, aber es hat seinen Weg verloren. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Licht des Alls, S. 369
- Die einzigartige Individualität ist eine Illusion, die sich auflöst, wenn sie nicht mehr mit Energie versorgt wird und keinem Zweck mehr dient. Audiointerview 'Ohne Titel' mit Dr. David R. Hawkins, präsentiert von US-Radiosender Beyond the Ordinary, Gastgeberinnen Nancy und Elena, 60 Minuten Dauer, 13. Juli 2004
- Frage: Ramesh S. Balsekar (1917-2009) aus Indien behauptet, es gebe keine individuelle Seele.
Antwort: Dies ist eine spitzfindige Frage. Wenn dem so wäre, wie kommt es dann, dass Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Bewusstseinsebenen geboren werden? Karmische Verdienste sind individuell. Wenn nicht, dann brauchen wir die Lehren von Jesus und Buddha nicht. Ich stimme nicht mit Balsekar überein. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Sedona Seminar Spiritual Traps, 3 DVD-Set, 15. Oktober 2005

Zitate (engl.) allgemein
Personal avowals
- My first question when I was before the Light was
"Are you God?"
I didn’t believe in God at all. The Light is really, as I know now, the oversoul matrix of our system and the sum-total of everything we have ever been to this point. It is, itself, evolving as we are evolving, so the Light seems to know you.
It knows you individually and discretely because your light is a direct part of it. I call it the
Great Self. When I asked the Light "Are You God?" – and the light speaks to you in a way that you will understand – the Light said to me
"Who and what is not God?"
- Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire. St Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) Italian mystic, tertiary of the Dominican Order, Scholastic philosopher, theologian, festival day April 29
- Through the Thou a person becomes I. Martin Buber [LoC 530] (1878-1965) Austrian-born Jewish philosopher
- The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives, we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch. Carl Gustav Jung [LoC 540] (1875-1961) Swiss psychoanalytist, depth psychologist, The Symbolic Life, Collected Works 18, par. 1400
- Life becomes richer when we realize each of us is like a snowflake – absolutely beautiful and unique, and here for a very short time. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross [LoC 485] (1926-2004) Swiss US American psychiatrist, founder of Near-death studies
- The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual – for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. Morgan Scott Peck [LoC 475] (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, People of the Lie. The Hope for Healing Human Evil [LoC 450] Touchstone Press, 1st edition 1983, 2nd edition, December 1997
- In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. Galileo Galilei [LoC 455] (1564-1642) Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher
- An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) US American clergyman, activist, African US American Civil Rights leader
- We must not allow the system to flatten us. We must assume our individuality. Joseph Campbell, Ph.D. [LoC 410] (1904-1987) US American mythologist, expert in comparative mythology and comparative religion
- The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. [...] There is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system. Tell me, where in the world do you find those angels that are going to organize society for us. I don't even trust you to do that. Video TV interview with Milton Friedman, Ph.D. [Works LoC 400] (1912-2006) US American professor of economy, University of Chicago, statistician, academic, author of "Capitalism and Freedom", 1962, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, 1976, Greed, presented by TV station CBS, talk show host Phil Donahue, 1979, YouTube film, 2:24 14. July 2007
- I am talking about the divisions of human beings into the cults of masculinity and femininity, into false divisions that conceal both our shared humanity and our individual uniqueness. We are trained into this division very young, usually in our own families, and it normalizes later divisions into
- leader and led,
- subject and object,
- rich and poor,
- even conquerer and conquered.
Video presentation by Gloria Steinem (*1934) leading US American feminist of the new women's movement, visionary and political activist, writer, journalist, When Women Are People… and Corporations Are Not: Why the First Inequality Will Also Be the Last, presented by Bioneers Live, host Nina Simons, Bioneers Conference 2011, San Rafael, CA, 14. October 2011, Vimeo video, minute 6:41, 35:27 minutes duration, posted 10. November 2011
- Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. Margaret Mead (1901-1978) US American cultural anthropologist, popular writer, lecturer
- We all know we are unique individuals, but we tend to see others as representatives of groups. Deborah Tannen (*1945) US American socio-linguist, specialized in gender-specific linguistic differences
- The individual mind is immanent but not only in the body. It is immanent also in the pathways and messages outside the body; and there is a larger Mind of which the individual mind is only a sub-system. This larger Mind is comparable to God and is perhaps what some people mean by “God,” but it is still immanent in the total interconnected social system and planetary ecology. Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) British America anthropologist, biologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician, cyberneticist, philosopher, concerned with the concept of information flow in nature, Steps to an Ecology of Mind. Collected Essays in Anthropology, Psychiatry, Evolution and Epistemology , Chandler Press, San Francisco, pg. 467, 1972, University of Chicago Press, 23. May 2000
- The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will often be lonely, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) German classical scholar, philosopher, critic of culture

Receiving guidance by one's "own" SELF
|
- The incredible beauty of all things shone forth in all their perfection, and where the world saw ugliness, I saw only timeless beauty. I spent years in inner silence, and the strength of the Presence grew. I had no personal life; my personal will no longer existed; I was an instrument of the Infinite Presence, and I went about and did as it willed. People felt an extraordinary peace in the aura of that Presence. Seekers sought answers from me, but as there was no such individual as David any longer, I saw what they were doing was finessing answers from their own Self, which was not different from mine. Interview with Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force, presented by US magazine Light in Times, August 2004; citing: Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Preface, S. 14-15, Hay House edition, February 2002
- Question: When a person reaches Nirvana, does their spirit or soul lose it's own personal existence by dissipating into the Divine Self along with all the other souls that have reached Nirvana before it, so that you have only the One Divine Self? […] Or, does one's soul maintain itself as an individual entity within Nirvana?
Answer: It would still be one with the complete Allness that is God, but yet it would exist as "itself" within that Allness. It would be like a drop of ocean water returning to the ocean; but although that drop of water has dropped back into the large ocean, it is still identifiable as a drop of water within the ocean; whether it moves all the way to the middle of the ocean, or sinks down to it's depths, it still remains an identifiable drop of water within the ocean. Dr. David R. Hawkins, book Title unknown, S. ?
- As one advances in the evolution of his individual consciousness, the process starts to perpetuate and correct itself so that self-improvement becomes a way of life. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force, chapter III, S. 71
- [T]he extreme negativity of a few perverse individuals can sway entire cultures and produce a global drag on the general level of consciousness, as history illustrates too well. Kinesiological testing indicates that a mere 2.6 % of the human population, identifiable by an abnormal kinesiological polarity (testing strong to negative attractors and weak to positive attractors), account for 72 % of society's problems. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force, chapter, 5 Social Distribution of Consciousness Levels, S. 101, Hay House edition, February 2002
- The ubiquitous human ego is actually not an "I" at all; it's merely an "it". Seeing through this illusion reveals an endless Cosmic Joke, where the human tragedy itself is part of the comedy. The irony of human experience is in how fiercely the ego fights to preserve the illusion of a separate, individual "I" – even though this is not only a metaphysical [ontological] impossibility but the wellspring of all suffering. Human reason exhausts itself ceaselessly to explain the inexplicable. […] The mind, in its identity with the ego, cannot, by definition, comprehend reality; if it could, it would instantly dissolve itself upon recognizing its own illusory nature. It's only beyond the paradox of mind transcending ego that what IS stands forth, self-evident and dazzling in its infinite Absoluteness. And then all of these words are useless. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 24, S. 291, Hay House edition, February 2002
- Question: What is the 'I'?
Answer: The "Infinite I" is that subjective reality which underlies the individual "I" and allows for the experience of 'I-ness" as one's existence. It is the 'absolute' that enables the statement "I". It might be said that Descartes [LoC 490] had it backwards. The truth is not "I think therefore I am" but it's corollary, "I am therefore I think". Dr. David R. Hawkins, Eye of the I, S. 177
- 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. Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I, S. S. 297
- Throughout eons, consciousness has evolved as the 'soul'. It reincarnates in a successive series of lifetimes, physical or otherwise, which are recorded in the awareness level of consciousness as karma. The interaction of the karmic patterns with the totality of the universe is expressed as the details of an identified lifetime. Once the nonlinear Reality becomes manifest as existence, consciousness identifies with the form as the locus of 'I' of a seemingly separate individual. This self claims authorship and believes it is the source of its own existence. As the consciousness of the soul evolves, it eventually seeks to identify and reunite with its true source. Like an orphan who searches for its parents, the orphaned ego/self longs to return to a home but has lost the way. Although the ego identifies with the linearity of form and time, its source of life stems from the nonlinear. This is intuited as an ephemeral, intangible, indefinable reality or ultimate Source. Dr. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, first page of chapter 16, S. 273
- An extremely invaluable insight that is learned by all spiritually evolved persons in the course of their development is seeing one’s own personal consciousness as the decisive influence that determines all that occurs in one’s life. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Truth vs. Falsehood, S. 249
- Everyone already has a specific calibrated level of consciousness at birth. Pragmatically, how the condition came about could be viewed as irrelevant. [...] Whatever the reasons may be, each individual has to proceed from wherever they find themselves in the evolutionary process. Without an understanding of karma, however, individual circumstances would seem to be accidental or capricious. [Paraphrased summary.] Dr. David R. Hawkins, Transcending Levels of Consciousness, S. 40-43
- People congregate in groups because they are aligned with the same attractor field. When fish at the bottom of the sea swoop about in schools or birds fly in flocks, each one is where they are, not as a result of their alignment with the others but because they are all attuned to exactly the same attractor field. Each one, individually, is following a powerful magnetic-like field that in turn is subject to the next higher attractor field, and so on up to Divinity. (The above passage calibrates at 995.) Dr. David R. Hawkins, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 2 Guilt and vindictive hate, S. 58
- The capacity to rise in consciousness is independent of the prevailing level of consciousness of mankind in general. It is an individual matter. The consciousness level of the world does not control you. Interview with Dr. David R. Hawkins, A Conversation with Knowingness, part I of II, presented by Four Corners Magazine, Pamela Becker, April/May 2007
- So you work like a dog to reach enlightenment, then you realize there's nobody to become enlightened. You thought there was somebody or some individual that's going to become enlightened and then you find out that that's fiction. [Laughter] You wasted your whole life pursuing the fiction that you [somebody] are going to become enlightened. Then you discover there is nobody to become enlightened! What a relief. Nobody here has to become enlightened. You don't have to buy into that goal in life. You say the heck with enlightenment. I just want to be stupid and ugly. To be happy if you're stupid and ugly means you're enlightened. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Cottonwood Seminar Handling Spiritual Challenges, DVD 1 of 3, 24. April 2010

You are what I AM
'How could I love you?' said the owl to the rabbit. 'I am what you ARE.'
'Is that so indeed?' the rabbit replied, delicately munching a dandelion.
'How could you hate me?' continued the owl; 'you are what I AM.'
'I never noticed it', observed the rabbit musingly.
'How could it be otherwise?' asked the owl. 'Whatever we are – I AM.'
'Since when?' inquired the rabbit. 'Is it recent?'
'Since always,' answered the owl, 'there is no "Time".'
'Then where does it occur?'
'Everywhere; there is no "Space".'
'So we are really one?' suggested the rabbit cheerfully.
'Certainly not,' snapped the owl. 'there is no "one".'
'Then what is there?' the rabbit inquired dubiously.
'No "thing" whatever!' the owl replied with severity.
'So what?' asked the rabbit, mystified.
'So, life!' said the owl, flapping his great wings and clacking his beak.
'As the Masters said so often, "when I'm hungry – I eat, and when I'm weary – I sleep!"'
Terence James Stannus Gray, pen name Wei Wu Wei (1895-1986)

Gestalt Prayer
The Gestalt Prayer
I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you and I am I.
And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful,
If not, it can't be helped.
Fritz Perls (1893-1970) German-born US American psychiatrist,
psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapy pioneer
