SpiritualWiki - Prinzipien

Der luziferische Irrtum besteht darin, dass ein Geistwesen, obwohl es sich über das normale menschliche Karma hinaus entwickelt hat, immer noch den karmischen Gesetzen des Universums und Gott unterworfen bleibt.
Licht des Alls. Die Wirklichkeit des Göttlichen, Kapitel 15 "Karma", S. 352, 2006

Ein grundlegendes Prinzip hat die Kraft, die Problematik des gesellschaftlichen Wettbewerbs aufzulösen: Unter-
stütze die Lösung, statt gegen die angenommenen Ursachen anzukämpfen.

⚠ Caveat:

Hawkins favoring specialness, ladder elitism

Should conclusion

Consistent application of any spiritual principle can unexpectedly result in a very major and sudden leap to unanticipated levels. At that point, memory may not even be available, and instead, the Knowingness of Spiritual Truth presents itself silently. Spiritual students should accept the reality that they are already gifted. A serious reader of a book such as this could hardly be otherwise. Divinity knows its own; therefore, to accept that truth
is to already feel joy. To not experience joy by understanding this means that it is being resisted.

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Every civilization is characterized by native principles. If the principles of a civilization are noble, it succeeds; if they are selfish, it falls. As a term, "principles" may sound abstract, but the consequences of principles are quite con-
crete. If we examine principles we will see that they reside in an invisible realm within consciousness itself. Although we can point out examples of honesty in the world, honesty itself as an organizing principle central to civilization is no-
where independently existent in the external world. True power, then, emanates from consciousness itself; what
we see is a visible manifestation of the invisible. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 8

The spiritual non-violent approach based on universal principles

Violence is force, but since [Mahatma] Gandhi was aligned with power instead of force, he forbade all use of violence in his cause. And because he expressed uni-
versal principles (which calibrate at 700) he was able to unite. When the will of the people is so united by and aligned with universal principle, it’s virtually unconque-
rable. Colonialism (calibrated at 175) is founded in the self-interest of the ruling country, Gandhi demonstrated, for the world to witness, the power of selflessness versus the force of self-interest. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 10 "Power in Politics", S. 152, Hay House, February 2002

The power of the United States, or any other democracy, arises from the principles upon which it was founded. Principles that calibrate as high as 700 affect mankind over great courses of time. Thus we can find the basis
of power by examining such documents the U.S. Constitution [LoC 710], the Bill of Rights [LoC 640], and the Decla-
ration of Independence [LoC 705].

The effects of "failing to differentiate principle from expediency"

It's most important to remember that to violate principle for practical expediencies
is to relinquish enormous power. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 10 "Power in Politics", S. 159, Hay House, February 2002

(↓)

Differentiating principle from expediency

[The average person cannot] differentiate principle from expediency [...] Learning the difference between principles and imitators requires experience and educated judgment. The exercise of such discretion is necessary for moral survival in the modern world in general, but it is imperative in those grayest of areas, where ethical ambiguity has been elevated
from convention to [an] art form: the political arena and the marketplace of daily commerce. Power vs. Force. The
Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 10 "Power in Politics", S. 159, Hay House, Februar 2002

[A] confused society that’s lost the capacity for discernment necessary to protect its own consciousness can hardly hope to protect its young. An individual’s level of consciousness is determined by the principles to which one is com-
mitted. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 23 "The Search of Truth", S. 279, Hay House, February 2002

Differentiation between surrender and sacrifice

These [surrender and sacrifice] are arbitrary terms which presume that one is looking at spiritual principles from the viewpoint of the ego's vested interests and justifications for negativity. To the ego, spiritual principles represent a possible loss of positionality, but from the viewpoint of spirit, they are gains.
The primary surrenders and sacrifices have to do with the substitution of humility for vanity. In actual practice, one merely relinquishes the vanities of opinionation and judgmentalism.
The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 66, 2001

The linear ⇔ the nonlinear Absolute

Mere presumptions ⇔ self-revealing principles

Adherence to basic spiritual principles is requisite to major transformation and of these, faith, devotion, and surrender are its primary modalities. It merely requires the surrendering of any and all belief systems and the understanding that all fear is an illusion due merely to clinging to a positionality and its perceptions, including one's adherence and faith in the familiar, customary paradigm of 'reality'. Nothing is actually the way the ego has perceived it for the linear dimension is merely presumptive, and the non-
linear Absolute is a very different paradigm that operates on totally different principles that are self-revealing
rather than sequential understandings or comprehension.
Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 18 "Full Enligtenment", S. 266, 2006

As mentioned previously, René Descartes made the seminal observation that there is the mind itself (res interna/co-
gitans), and then there is external reality (res externa – the world or nature as it is). The principle could be seen as a way of stating the difference between perception and essence. That there is often great disparity between the two con-
ditions is the dilemma of humankind, as has been noted by the sages of history, such as in Socrates' dictum that man
always chooses what appears to be the 'good', but his difficulty is that he cannot tell the 'real' good from that which is
illusory (i.e., differentiate appearance from essence). Note that 'do-gooders' (cal. 190) frequently bring about long-term
social disasters (Charen, 2004). Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, S. 76, 2008

Spiritual students perfecting the 400s leaping into the 500s

Students of spiritual work are often those who are perfecting the levels of the 400s, where they have acquired a dedicated learningness and knowledge about spiritual matters. They then put the principles into practice in order to reach the 500s. Some join A Course in Miracles or Twelve-Step groups and are concerned with perfecting the capacity to love. They move
up to transcending what the world calls the ego and lose attraction to money, wealth, power, sexuality, and worldly success. Healing and Recovery, S. 38-39, 2009

(↓)

Principles above personalities

AA has a saying: "Just bring the body, and you will get it by osmosis." It places principles above personalities and means that it is the unconditional love of the healing field itself that nurtures, supports, and brings about the miracle of recovery. The importance of alignment with that energy field is because the feeling of gratitude, which is at about 540, is characteristic of AA. At this level are the values of laughter, humor, and the capacity for a different way of holding experiences. Instead of self-pity, fear, or anger and its expression as resentement, there is now humor about the expe-
rience, which at the time was perhaps tragic. Because of this willingness to be forgiving and understanding, out of the healing nature of this energy field arise the joyful states characterized by compassion and the desire to heal through understanding. This transition marks the beginning of transfiguration in one's consciousness, the beginning of seeing the perfection of the world and experiencing the oneness of all things and all life.
Healing and Recovery, chapter 13 "Alcoholism", S. 410, 2009

Living by basic spiritual dictums

Selecting a basic spiritual dictum to live by operationally becomes a set of attitudes that change perception. It is a style of positioning oneself and relating to life rather than a set of linear belief systems. Attitudes tend to generalize as discernment rather than definable perception. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. 81, Reflection of May 31st, January 2011

One basic principle has the power to resolve the problems of the social marketplace. Support the solution instead
of attacking the supposed causes.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. 176, January 2011

An individual's level of consciousness, is determined by the principles to which he or she is committed. To maintain progress in consciousness, there can be no wavering from principle, or the individual will fall back to a lower level.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Kindle location 785, Reflection of July 9th, January 2011

The way men tradtionally cross over the level of 200, the way you cross over from [moral] cowardice to integrous cou-
rage is you literally do walk into the bullets in the name of a higher principle is you literally do walk into the bullets in
the name of a higher principle, in the name of God, country, the king, divinity, womanhood, the family, university, for whatever reason you do it is for some higher principle other than an egoistic one. And you transcend it and you never have to return below 200. Removed audio lecture and Q&A by D. Hawkins, How to Instantly Tell Truth from Falsehood About Any-

Standing up for truth is spiritual. It requires a principled strong character.

Spirituality means to stand up for truth. It doesn't mean to passively lie down [LoC 145] and allow yourself to become the victim and think that you are pious and holy with all that. Piety and holyness means also to stand for the truth. Truth is also strength, strength and commitment. […] It's up to your wisdom how and when to express it, but nevertheless we stand for that in which we believe in. Otherwise we are people without principles. Without principles one is weak and easy to knock over. The value of mores and spiritual principles, religious principles, logic, reason is it gives you a strength at your character. In times of great stress that's when you are going to need that character. When you need it it's there because it's habitual. Sedona Seminar Transcending Obstacles, lecture 7, 3 DVD set, 3. September 2005

Constructual law of evolution:

Anything that is of finite size and moves in order to persist in time which means to live must evolve such that it flows more and more easily for a greater and greater access over time. Adrian Bejan, Ph.D., Romanian-American professor of mechanical engineering, Duke University, discoverer of the constructal law of design and evolution in nature, cited in: Removed video segment
of the TV documentary series "Through the Wormhole" – Did God Create Evolution? – Constructal theory, presented by the US American pay television Science Channel, narrated by Morgan Freeman (*1937) US American actor, narrator, producer, YouTube film, minute 4:31, 6:34 minutes duration, posted 13. August 2013
- The constructal law was proposed in 1996 as a summary of all design generation and evolution phenome-
  na in nature, bio and non-bio. The constructal law represents three steps toward making "design in nature" a concept and law-based domain in science:
  1. Life is flow: all flow systems are live systems, the animate and the inanimate.
  2. Design generation and evolution is a phenomenon of physics.
  3. Designs have the universal tendency to evolve in a certain direction in time.
The constructal law is proposed as a first principle of physics accounting for all design and evolution in nature. It holds that shape and structure arise to facilitate flow. The designs that happen spontaneously in na-
ture reflect this tendency: they allow entities to flow more easily – to measurably move more current farther and
faster for less unit of useful energy consumed. Concerning the discovery of constructal law of design and evolution

A chain breaks at its weakest link. Universal wisdom

The law that operates outside is the law of the cosmos. There are no two laws – God's law and man's law; universal
law and individual law. No such thing is there. Such thing as 'my law' or 'your law' does not exist. There is only one
law operating everywhere, in all creation, visible or invisible, in all realms of being. The same law is there for
the celestials, the humans and the subhuman creatures. Everyone is controlled by a single principle of ordinan-
ce. That is called Dharma. It operates as gravitation in the physical level; it operates as love in the psychological
level; it operates as chemicals in the chemical level and it operates as integration of thought in our mental level,
the level of cognition and thinking. It ultimately operates as the connecting link between the subject and the object,
on account of which there is knowledge of anything at all. That is called Dharma. Dharma is an integrating force
of anything that is even apparently in disparity. Anything that is disconnected, apparently isolated, not visibly con-
nected, is actually connected, and that connecting principle is called Dharma. And Dharma becomes an integrating
principle because of the presence of the Ātman that is behind it. There is no such thing as Dharma independent of
the operation of the Ātman.
What you call Dharma or law is the Ātman working. Its own law is its Being; its Being is its law; they are not two dif-
ferent things. […]
This Being which is responsible for the interconnectedness of things has become, what you call, the living and the
non-living; the visible and the invisible; the creatures which are two-footed and those that are four-footed. He be-
came the subtle body and then the gross body by means of a subtle instrument known as the Linga Śarīra or Suk-
shma Śarīra. The very Being became the vital consciousness of all physical bodies, and He is present in everybody.
The Body that is Universal and the body that is particularised – there is nothing that it is not enveloping.
Swami Krishnananda [Fallen LoC 615⇒195] (1922-2001) Indian Hindu saint, disciple of Swami Sivananda, general secretary of

42 principles of Maat

At least eight out of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament were taken from the Egyptian Principles of Ma'at
written at least 2000 years earlier. The 42 Principles of Ma'at are one of Africa's, and the world's, oldest sources of moral
and spiritual instruction. Ma'at, the Ancient Egyptian divine principle of truth, justice, and righteousness,
is the foundation of natural and social order and unity.

Law of life

The Law Of Life

Whatever you give away today,
Or think or say or do;
Will multiply about ten fold,
And then return to you.

It may not come immediately,
Nor from the obvious source;
But the law applies unfailingly,
Through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,
Be it love or hate or passion;
Will surely bounce back to you,
In some clear or secret fashion.

If you speak about some person,
A word of praise or two;
Soon tens of other people,
Will speak kind words of you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
Not secrets of the brain;
Kind ones bring us happiness,
Petty ones, untold pain.

Giving works as surely as,
Reflections in a mirror;
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back,
But loving brings love nearer.

Remember, as you start this day,
And duty, crowds your mind;
That kindness comes so quickly back,
To those who first are kind.

Let that thought and this one,
Direct you through each day;
The only things we ever keep,
Are the things we give away.
