Quotes by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

[Q]uotes and passages have been hand selected from all DH core writings [...] The first section of this book explores the true nature of the small self – the ego and mind. Subsequent sections are devoted to transcending that self and experiencing the nondualistic Presence of Divinity and the realization of Enlightenment. […] Dr Hawkins explains that nonlinear principles are learned through repetition rather than sequential understanding. It is in reading, rereading and contemplating the meaning behind the words that one's understanding ripens.

One is not "forced" to feel resentment by a negative memory, nor does one have to buy into a fearful thought about the future. These are only options. The mind is like a television set running its various channels for selection, and one does not have to follow any particular temptation of thought. One can fall into the temptation of feeling sorry for oneself, or feeling angry or worried. The secret attraction of all these options is that they offer an inner payoff or a secret satisfac-
tion that is the source of the attraction of the mind’s thoughts. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, Hay House, August 2011

Except in small, personal affairs, the mind was not constructed to readily learn from its mistakes. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey,
Hay House, August 2011

The purpose of meditation is to transcend the mind and its mental activities and limited perceptions, thereby transcen-
ding duality and becoming increasingly aware of Oneness. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, Hay House, August 2011

In actuality, the ego-self doesn’t have to die at all: life doesn’t come to an end; existence doesn't cease; and no horrible, tragic fate is waiting to end life at all. Like the ego itself, the whole story is imaginary. One doesn't have to destroy the ego or even work on it. The only simple task to be accomplished is to let go of the identification with the
ego as one’s real self! With this relinquishment of identification, the self actually goes right on walking and talking, eating and laughing – the only difference is that, like the body, it becomes "that" instead of "me" or "this." All that is necessary, then, is to let go of ownership, authorship, and the delusion that one invented or created this self and see that it was merely a mistake. That this is a very natural and inevitable mistake is obvious. Everyone makes it, and
only a few discover the error and are willing or able to correct it. Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self. Contemplations
from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. 56, quote, Hay House, August 2011
