Biography Summary

Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. is a nationally renowned psychiatrist, physician, researcher, and lecturer. He co-authored Orthomolecular Psychiatry with Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling that helped revolutionize psychiatry. His national television appearances include The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour, The Barbara Walters Show, and The Today Show. Winner of the Huxley Award, knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Hospitaliers of St. John of Jerusalem, nominated for the Templeton Prize and honored in the East with the title “Tae Ryoung Sun Kak Tosa” (Foremost Teacher of the Way to Enlightenment), Dr. Hawkins’ honors are vast. His background is detailed in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World, and his work has been acclaimed by many world leaders and Nobelists, including Mother Teresa.

Dr. Hawkins has lectured at the University of Argentina; Notre Dame, Stanford, and Harvard Universities; Westminster Abbey; and the Oxford Forum. In addition, he has been an advisor to Catholic, Protestant, and Buddhist monasteries. He has conferred with foreign governments on international diplomacy and has been instrumental in resolving long-standing conflicts that were major threats to world peace. He is the author of the best-selling trilogy, Power vs. Force (published in 17 languages), The Eye of the I, and I: Reality and Subjectivity, and three additional books, including Truth vs. Falsehood, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness, and Discovery of the Presence of God.

SPIRITUAL BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Hawkins is an internationally known spiritual teacher, author, and speaker on the subject of advanced spiritual states, consciousness research, and the Realization of the Presence of God as Self.

His published works, as well as recorded lectures, have been widely recognized as unique in that a very advanced state of spiritual awareness occurred in an individual with a scientific and clinical background who was later able to verbalize and explain the unusual phenomenon in a manner that is clear and comprehensible.

The transition from the normal ego state of mind to its elimination by the Presence is described in the trilogy Power versus Force (1995), which won praise even from Mother Theresa; The Eye of the I (2001); and I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003), which have been translated and are available worldwide in foreign editions. Reviews (such as those on the Internet at amazon.com) have awarded the works with five stars.

The trilogy was preceded by research on the Nature of Consciousness and published as the doctoral dissertation, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibration of the Levels of Consciousness (1995), which correlated the seemingly disparate domains of science and spirituality. This was accomplished by the major discovery of a technique that, for the first time in human history, demonstrated a means to discern truth from falsehood.

The importance of the initial work was given recognition by its very favorable and extensive review in Brain/Mind Bulletin and at later presentations such as the International Conference on Science and Consciousness. Many presentations were given to a variety of organizations, spiritual conferences, church groups, nuns, and monks, both nationally and in foreign countries, including the Oxford Forum. In the Far East, Dr. Hawkins is a recognized “Teacher of the Way to Enlightenment.” (Tae Ryoung Sun Kak Dosa”)

In response to his observation that much spiritual truth has been misunderstood over the ages due to lack of explanation, Dr. Hawkins presented monthly seminars and provided detailed explanations that are too lengthy to describe in book format. Recordings are available, along with questions and answers that provide additional clarification.

The overall design of this lifetime work is to recontextualize the human experience in terms of the evolution of consciousness and to integrate a comprehension of both mind and spirit as expressions of the innate Divinity that is the substrate and ongoing source of life and Existence. This dedication is signified by the statement “Gloria in Excelsis Deo!” with which his published works begin and end.

Question:

My calibrations aren’t the same as Dr. Hawkins on the same things. Does this mean his calibrations are incorrect or are mine?

Comment:

Commitment to Consciousness Research entails quite a bit of pre-existing conditions, such as following guidelines and practicing, in order to receive accurate answers. Even then, conditions, proclivities, timing, how you hold the subject in mind, and many other circumstances have the ability to change outcomes. Testing is not an exact physical science, as we understand the corporeal sciences. Trust is an issue when considering Dr. Hawkins calibrations, since the doctor is presently the highest calibrating teacher of enlightenment on the planet. Dr. Hawkins has often iterated the former issues may indeed change calibrations. The actual precise number however, is not as essential as whether or not something calibrates as (Absolute)Truth or not Truth. It may be wiser to practice receiving generalized calibrations, such as whether something is over or between certain levels, instead of trying to confirm an exact number. It is for the highest good to keep in mind this is the path to God and enlightenment and not just a numbers game.

Although this question may seem difficult, what is more important about a spiritual teacher is oftentimes what he or she is not, rather than what he or she is. On page 179, Devotional Nonduality, Dr. Hawkins comprehensively explains the traits of a true spiritual teacher.

One noticeable red light to send you in a different direction would be over glamorization, and over pricing of lectures, classes, and retreats. Other distractions are messages coming from outside sources other than The Field, coercion, exclusivity, specialness, and weird or strange practices. Over intellectualization of spirituality has further confused the spiritual initiate as well as the spiritually seasoned. If you get to the end of a book chapter or lecture and have no idea what that person was trying to say, it’s best to move in a different direction (the material may also be too advanced for your personal level of readiness). Often the most brilliant speakers and authors have nothing of Truth to offer. The fact that they may have a huge following has nothing at all to do with Truth. The masses have been following false words for millennia. (1)

The first thing one must do is to calibrate (using Divine Protoplasmic Analysis), whether or not the teacher is integrous. If this is not possible for various reasons (2) the next best thing would be to seek a spiritual teacher, who has been calibrated i.e. “Truth versus Falsehood, (Dr. David Hawkins, Veritas publishing.) The words of past teachers are just as powerful today as they were when they in the past. Exercise caution when following modern day spiritual teachers, due to the fall of many who succumbed to glamorization and personal ego.

The beginning of this journey is fraught with many side roads. The advent of modern society has made this journey easier in some ways and more difficult in others. Everyone is fully capable of walking into the spiritual section of any bookstore and finding thousands of books on the shelves. Computers have exponentially more than quadrupled the amount of information in the form of web sites and books. One could virtually stand in a book section for months or spend thousands of dollars, digesting false information.

On the other side of the coin, there are some enlightened people in the planet, who have the ability to explain comprehensively the spiritual journey in a straightforward no nonsense method. Long after they are physically gone from the planet, their words will stand for “the way” in a manner yet unrealized, and their work will continue to illuminate for generations.

The phrase “when the student is ready, the teacher appears” and vice versa is often appropriate. Although it may take decades to find Truth, when it appears it shines forth with Divinity’s brilliance.

(1) When asked to read or listen to the works of many high profile speakers and writers on the spiritual circuit, I always calibrate the writings. More often than not, they do not calibrate with Truth (over 200) and are not worth giving time to.
(2) There may be people who you trust that can calibrate for you, if you have no interest in Kinesiology.

I tend to use terms that are sometimes familiar to the spiritual aspirant and sometimes not. There are words I use which I have become familiar with because of my teacher, Dr. David Hawkins, MD, PhD. Some of the words are in caps because of their reference to God, and some words are used within the practice of Devotional Nonduality and Dr. Hawkins’ teachings. I hope to make all of my readers familiar with these words, so I will list as many of them here as I can to familiarize you with them. There are words here that should be in the dictionary and others that will become recognizable as time and society move forward. Although I did not make this clear in my first book, “Journey of the Spirit,” I hope to make up for this error to my readers here.

Names of God
There are more names for God than perhaps any other thing in existence. I have my own terms, but any word that is in caps, and is not a proper noun, generally refers to God. These are some:
The Field, The Infinite Field, The Infinite Field of Intelligence, Divine Intelligence, Divinity, Divine Knowledge, The Akashic Records, The Divine Field of Intelligence, The Mind of God, Truth, Absolute Truth, Divine Truth, The All, The Light, Source, Divine Source, Absolute Source, The All That Ever Was or Will Be, The Infinite, The Everlasting, Universal Intelligence, Allness, Beingness, The Presence, The Presence of Divinity, Eternal Source, Electromagnetic Field, Divine
Creator, Source, Totality, Beingness.

LOC (Level of Consciousness)
I use the term, “level of consciousness” often and may from time to time abbreviate it with LOC. It refers to levels on the MAP (Map of Consciousness, Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force)

MAP (Map of Consciousness)
One of the most important discoveries of the spiritual world. A Map of where everything is, at the level of consciousness. Complete studies are available within all of Dr. David R. Hawkins works. (See bibliography, Myswizard.com for a referential version, or Veritaspub.com)

Calibrations or Calibrate
This is in reference to the levels of human consciousness, on the MAP of Consciousness. It also refers to what level something calibrates at within its’ own frequency, such as an inanimate object, which in and of itself may not have “life” but may send off a vibratory quality which may be calibrated, such as a place, ideology or book.

Integrous
This word is used by Dr. Hawkins and I love it. It’s not in the dictionary, but should be. It simply means that which is ‘of” integrity. “ous” is an adjective suffix which means, possessing the qualities of. There may be other words from time to time that don’t have a corresponding adjective which “ous” may be added onto.

‘ness’
The state : condition : quality : degree. This may also be added to the end of words to describe that which otherwise is indescribable, such as “Beingness, Allness, and Knowingness. These words may have a direct connection to a description for God.

Consciousness
Consciousness is the Invisible, Infinite Energy Field of All That Exists.* It is omnipresent, omniscient, all encompassing, infinitely powerful, all-inclusive, limitless, and formless. It records all that has ever existed throughout time in both the material and the non-material realms of existence, with complete and Absolute potentiality. Because of the qualities of consciousness, it is capable of having calibratory levels of frequency or vibration. (See page 14 of Dr. Hawkins book, Truth vs. Falsehood for a ‘Summary of the Essential Principles of the Science of Consciousness.’)

Consciousness within the material world evolves as matter evolves. Within higher levels of sentience come forth the abilities to raise ones intrinsic level of consciousness. At the present time 1000 (Map of Consciousness, Consciousness Research) is the highest logarithmic level one can attain within a physicality. Divinity’s’ level of consciousness is Infinite, therefore, raising of ones level of consciousness higher than 1000, becomes possible within the non-physical realm.
*Caps are used to denote Divinity, which is The Source of consciousness

The Institute for Advanced Spiritual Research, founded by Dr. David Hawkins, is devoted to Consciousness Research (sometimes referred to as Consciousness Science). It is not-for-profit organization. See link on front page to Dr. Hawkins site and “Benefits of reading Power vs. Force,” under Devotional Nonduality topic.

Devotional Nonduality is a direct way to enlightenment. It uses the power of the heart and not spiritual ambition. Followers of Devotional Nonduality seek the “core” of spirituality for its own sake, knowing that the source of our own existence is within. It is the devotion to the essence of Truth itself. It’s founder and my teacher, Dr. David Hawkins, M.D., PhD. has comprehensively explained this state within all his teachings and writings, and in his book, “Devotional Nonduality”.

Students of Devotional Nonduality have meaningful practices that work for them, so I thought it would be a good idea to explain how it works in my life, as well as personal definitions and descriptions as paraphrased from Dr. Hawkins.

Devotional Nonduality is a new “sounding” paradigm of being in the world, but not a new way of being. Its relatives are Advaita and some forms of Buddhism, without the strict practice of meditation and the “void” being the ultimate reality. It’s a way to enlightenment through devotion to The Ultimate Reality of our existence, by means of the pathways of higher levels of consciousness. One doesn’t need to do fancy rituals or give up their life or life savings to it. It’s a relatively simple practice with huge implications.

Devotional Nonduality is a commitment to raising ones’ own level of consciousness through being “that” which you have the intention to become. It is devotion to God in the highest, through living life as a prayer. All positionalities, belief systems, ideologies, and conceptualizations must be surrendered. This is a major commitment necessary to becoming enlightened and cannot be taken frivolously. Therefore it is rare to be on the path to enlightenment.

The beingness to which I refer can be as simple as practicing kindness to a fault everyday and without exception. If I find myself not being as kind as my practice has maintained, I stop and witness what my ego is being (by being more contemplative). Due to the fact, we still have to live in the world, as long as we are willing to witness the ego and surrender it, our intrinsic level of consciousness doesn’t vary.

Contemplation (recommended by Dr. Hawkins), is a way of being in the world. In order to practice contemplation, one needs to witness the world in a wider mode of context vs. content, and not get “caught up in the drama” of the momentary stories of ones’ life. Through living within a state of contemplation, non-attachment can be maintained while still enjoying the fruits and pleasures of material existence. The neediness of lesser egoic states tends to disappear. Dr. Hawkins often reminds his students that it’s not the ego itself that is the problem, but the juice, power or excitement we get out of its’ “pitfalls.” He also advises to avoid negativity rather than opposing it. Precious time is wasted resisting that which doesn’t calibrate above the level of integrity. These are the levels such as anger, apathy, desire, grief and all the negative aspects of lower consciousness discussed in Dr. Hawkins books and lectures. One cannot change that which isn’t ready, so avoid “the lower realms” and remain in the light.*

Practicing Truth (Absolute Truth) through devotion to Divinity is the highest commitment of Devotional Nonduality. Within my own daily practice, I like to call this Radical Truth. This is living truth everyday without exception. It does not mean to be radically opinionated. Truth overcomes opinions as one climbs the scale of consciousness. Radical Truth is also radical honesty. When I am confused I state my confusion. If uncertain, I abdicate until I am. Radical truth is being truthful (with kindness) to everyone at all times and under all conditions. Telling lies on any level is not an exception.

By being the qualities of higher levels one naturally becomes kind toward all life. Compassion, joy, sincerity, unconditional love, willingness, neutrality and more is what is necessary to transcend the levels of consciousness. Awareness of the pitfalls of the ego and the ways in which we can fall back is a priority. Surrendering that which you have no control over to Divinity is the path. Through the vigilant practice of being that which you wish to become, you become it. Force is not the way, but the power of Divinity. The intention alone to be more of what you wish to be will make it happen.

If the aforementioned way of being seems difficult, then you are not yet ready to commit to this and that is perfectly alright. The practice of Devotional Nonduality will be around for a very long time and Divinity has an infinite amount of patience. When you are ready to walk the path, there will be many to help guide you along the way.

*This could lead to life changing scenarios, such as divorce, changing social groups/friends, employment or avoidance of certain family members.

There are an infinite amount of names for God. Many are right here on this site*, and more can be found in religious books and doctrine. The strange thing about a name is it’s only a label. It’s a local identification. It has no meaning other than the one “we” give it. We can, for instance call a table a chair and it doesn’t change the “nature” of what it is. If I called you a name other than the one you were given, it wouldn’t change what you are. God as a name for Divinity actually is bothersome to some, although I haven’t a clue as to why.

The problem with giving God a name is God isn’t a locality. God is non linear. How does one give a name to the Un-nameable? In Judaism, for example, there are words for God that cannot even be written, because of the sacredness of the word. However you put it to paper it’s still naming that which cannot be named. We have to call things by a name for identification purposes, so we persist. By not taking names with a seriousness that only we can place on it, we are able to dispense with having to put a meaning on everything. As we witness it, we realize it just is. It’s an advanced concept, but you are on the path to enlightenment, or you wouldn’t be here right now reading this. “Everything is it’s own meaning,” as Dr. David Hawkins says.

We can’t help wanting to put a meaning to everything that we see, feel and hear, but it is what it is. That’s all. Releasing the “need” to name everything may also bring on the state that you aren’t who and what you “think” you are, also. Try going a day without a name for yourself. It may be scary, but when you’re ready it’s freeing. I happen to love the name my parents gave me, but I’m not attached to it. It’s meaning is twofold…From the Hebrew name Channah which meant “favour” or “grace”. Hannah was the mother of Samuel the prophet in the Old Testament. The Latin version of this name is Anna…and this is the name traditionally assigned to the mother of the Virgin Mary, though she is not mentioned in the Bible. None of these is my actual name however, which is a diminutive of Hannah and Anne…Nancy.

See how confusing this all gets? Imagine for a moment all the names of everything on the planet and beyond and all the various meanings for all the names. It’s mind boggling! Now close your eyes and imagine something before you, say for instance an ice cream cone. One wouldn’t need to name it to know this is something I like. It is what it is.

So instead of finding “the” name for God, (which is the simplest one I can think of,) try imagining God as Infinite Love. It’s a good start.

I’m posting an ongoing article on life after death, simply because this is a high profile topic. The answer is yes, there is life after death, or as I call it…Our true home, when we aren’t experiencing here. There are many variations of what it’s like, how to get there, and where it is… and you can find them all on the internet, Amazon.com or Barnes and Nobel. There are as many “experts” on The Afterlife as there are books written on the subject. Most of them are not true, but fantasized.

I have not channeled these answers, nor has any entity revealed knowledge to me, and God has not come to me personally in any form. I have asked for permission to receive this knowledge from The Infinite Field of Consciousness (which holds all knowledge of Absolute truth) for The Highest Good of all of us, and confirmed with Consciousness Science.* I have also rephrased a few of Dr. Hawkins teachings. These Truths are explained (to the best of the capabilities) within the written word:

1. Our time of death is set at birth. This isn’t a physical time as we know it, but a time relative to the realm of the non-physical. Another way of explaining it is when the parameters of our life have been lived, we give up the body. (It also explains why some people go quickly and some stay on even when all odds are against them. What sometimes seems accidental is not. In human form, we don’t have the capacity to understand how this works, because everything is actualizing its potential within another realm.)

2. The way in which we die is not set and is subject to the potentialities of what happens in our life.

3. We do not die when it is not time and there is no such thing as died too young or went before our time. (In NDAs** one’s spirit enters the astral realm and returns as a consequence of it not being “time” to leave.)

4. There are many realms. There is no one heaven or hell, but an infinite number of realms we can go to depending on the potentialities of our existence.

5. We gravitate to the level of consciousness that we are. If we live in a type of hell of our own making here, that’s what we can choose to experience on the other side. It is all relative to what our soul’s consciousness has become or has the intention of becoming. Nothing is set in stone so to speak, and the spirit has free will to ascend.

6. There is Karma. This is a non-material, Divine action/reaction. See my article on the Four Phases of Karma.

7. We do have a body (energy) in the non-physical realms. As ones’ spirit progresses, the necessity for any sort of body decreases.

8. Suicide is not a “sin” and we do not have to return immediately to human form (as some high profile psychics have said). Suicide, like every action in ones life has a karmic consequence. We are not privy to know what that is.

9. Death and life are the same. There is no such thing as losing someone. It is only a matter of physical time before you may reunite with them. Spirit and consciousness are eternal. We are all a part of existence and are subject to Divine Law.

10. Existence in a non-physical body is nothing like that of material existence. We vibrate with a different intensity and consciousness calibrates at differing levels within the paradigm of the realm you are in. Movement occurs with the speed of thought. There is no physical pain since there is no physical body. Our mind/consciousness/spirit are one. The spirit retains a non-linear type of personality and we are capable of retaining negative as well as positive aspects of our totality. In this respect like tends to gravitate to like. Spirit however, may have an intrinsically higher level of consciousness in the non-material realm than the material realm, due to “spiritual amnesia,” an effect of physical rebirth. As a physical being, the potentialities of our lives effect our consciousness levels. Consciousness has the capability to ascend in the non-physical, but death alone is not a catalyst.***

11. Consciousness has free will within the physical and the non-physical realms. (Because the will is only as powerful as ones level of consciousness, this would define the parameters of the spirit’s capabilities.)

12. The angelic realm is by hierarchy only (angels and archangels have the capacity to move between realms). Spirit does not get to choose to become an “angel or archangel.” That would be akin to appointing an infant to be the Pope or the CEO of a company. (see #11)

13. All realms, (physical, celestial, astral, angelic and beyond) are entirely within the body of The Infinite Presence. In other words, you are a living presence within the Entirety of God. This eliminates any ideas of duality. We are one within The Body (Field) of Divinity (God).

14. The non-physical world has the power to affect the physical world by permission based on a hierarchy. This would be on a “need to” basis depending on karmic consequences and other factors. The higher levels of non-physical consciousness have higher powers. An example of this would be “help, signs, or otherworldly experiences” of no apparently source other than what we would call the “miraculous.” Lower consciousness (non-physical) does not have the capacity for the miraculous, but can influence (be attracted to) the physical based on human levels of lower consciousness. Be cautious of “what you are or are becoming” would be in order, lest you attract the lower entities and their negative influences. (The lower consciousness of the non-physical can heighten or strengthen the negative aspects of a physical being due to lower consciousness’s vulnerabilities.)

15. The soul (spirit body) has free will to choose its’ own ‘realm of existence’ within its’ consciousness level, in the non-physical realm.

16. There is no need for us to “know” what the other side is like, because it is different for every individual soul. Spirit has the capacity for actualizing anything within the potential of its’ particular level.

In one of Dr. Hawkins lectures, he explains how it became apparent to him what the continuing purpose of his life is. The purpose was to bring the Map of Consciousness to light, (the books, consciousness work, and lectures). He knew he had the capability to express in modern terminology what ancient masters have been saying, within the framework of what he had become in this lifetime.* Of course those of us who are devoted students of his realize this, and are grateful for the opportunity to have his words available to us.

He has been a practicing psychiatrist for over 50 years and a scholar. Being a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, lecturer, teacher, and modern mystic we now have the opportunity, due to Dr. Hawkins, to reach enlightenment through clear and intelligent teachings. Dr. Hawkins innate abilities, comprehensively and precisely puts to words the ineffable__ the most direct route to enlightenment. Within his unique, but precise perspective, recontextualization of the aspects of the levels of consciousness, and inner workings of the ego, Dr. Hawkins explains how to transcend barriers on the path to enlightenment.

Using the Map of Consciousness and the work he is doing as the Director of The Institute for Advanced Spiritual Research (Consciousness Science), the doctor gives us the most efficient, straightest path to Truth.** As one ascends the ladder, Dr. Hawkins describes the various levels up the scale of consciousness, what to expect when the Buddhic eye opens, and the ability to access the Infinite Field of Consciousness while using applied kinesiology for confirmation. The doctor expains how to recognize and avoid the spritual side shows, as well as not getting caught up in expensive lessons or guru worship. His description of the barriers to watch out for even at the highest levels, and the state of enlightenment itself, are pure genius.

There has never been a modern day person at this level, with the ability to express enlightenment and the road to that state, with such complete clarity, until now. The time has come for the karmic momentum of today’s spiritual aspirants seeking enlightenment, to find their way to these new revelatory teachings and methods.

Within this site, I recontextualize the teachings from my own level and within my own frame of reference, without changing the basic messages, in Food for Thought, Devotional Nonduality, and Absolute Truth and other writings from life situations.

It was a bit difficult knowing where to put this on my site. After all, it’s The Theory of Everything, by Myswizard. Whew! As a prelude to writing my own Theory of Everything, I did put information on the scientific Theories of Everything or Unified Theory or Unified Field Theory under “Science”. I like the name Unified Field Theory. It’s such a spiritual sounding title. Unified in the Webster’s New World Dictionary means “to combine into one; become or make united; consolidate. So that was easy. It’s the One Theory. “The One and Only Theory of Everything That Exists and The Reasons Behind It All Theory.”

Scientists like to figure everything out. I wasn’t a great math student, but I did fine in science. The scientific knowledge out there, boggles my mind. I’ve read a lot of scientific theories since college and I’ve taken an interest in Quantum Physics because it comes closet to the world I’m familiar with… the Spiritual Domain. A Unified Theory of Everything sounds as great as the New Unified Theory of Creation going on out there. There’s only one problem with both theories or stories. The scientific theory has scientific facts and the religious version has some spiritual Truths, but neither one is the “Unified Theory of Truth”. The One and Only Unified Truth, not theory. Theories are speculative, conjecture, and at best a good guess.

If I told you now I guess I risk having nothing more to say. It will all be over. The reason behind everything, the how and the why. It’s a short book. Just a few sentences and it’s over. I’m not worried, however, because there’s an infinite amount of intelligent people out there who would argue, debate, disbelieve, be skeptical, cynical and maybe even chuckle. Most of them won’t even be visiting this site, so I need not worry.

I’ve often discussed my KISS method to spirituality. Keep it simple, sweetheart. If you thought you were going to read something else, you’re on the wrong site. I like to keep things simple. Maybe it comes from having to read so many manuals and business related materials over the years. Perhaps it’s because I’ve reached pre-senior age. Mostly it’s because humans don’t really want complications. They want to understand easily. In as few words as possible, not a PhD. dissertation. I love to intellectualize, but that’s just for fun. In reality I want brief, but meaningful explanations.

These are the things I cannot give you.
1. The explanations for why in scientific terms.
2. The explanations for how in scientific terms.
3. Any scientific or linear world explanations.

Here it is…(to be expanded upon as more information becomes available)
Everything is happening of its’ own. All things in the universe have been manifested by Divine Intelligence. The Universal Field of Potentiality is creating infinitely. Out of The Divine Potential comes forth all that exists. Its’ a self fulfilling Potentiality creating the actual (the physical and non physical manifestation) of our world, infinite worlds, universes, and infinite planes of existence. This Potentiality is of Infinite Power. The kind of Power that has no apparent source other than the Source of Divinity. This kind of power is inconceivable in the material domain. It is Self generating, Self propagating, Self actualizing, Infinite, Eternal, Infinitely Powerful and Pure Potentiality. It is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. It is All that ever was, and All that ever will be. It is Absolute. Out of Divinity came forth the Divine Potentiality, which spawned Divine Actuality, in order to “experience” the Beingness of That Actuality.

Now you can add in the scientific, geologic, anthropological and anthropomorphic explanations, and here we are! Divinity was a priori to everything that came after. It’s still creating and evolving eternally. Creation and evolution are the same. They are inseparable. So any theories that favor one over the other are False. You cannot have a divisive evolution. It is creation and that is God. (What’s in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.)…Shakespeare

In a lecture series by Dr. David Hawkins, the doctor suggests contemplation over meditation for daily spiritual practice. Although I have made a practice of meditating on a regular basis, contemplation offers an alternative way of being without losing the focus of one’s spirituality. I’m often in a state of contemplation due to my own spiritual practices, so it feels familiar to me. Since one cannot walk around in a state of meditation all day, contemplation offers being that which you are without having to lose the awareness of Divinity.

Contemplation is a way of “being” in the world, without the world being in you. It’s a state of total awareness without losing the focus on your surroundings or the daily routine of your life. In a way it’s Zenlike. When eating, eat. When driving, drive. When working, work. It’s surrendering the monkey mind, and being in the moment totally with whatever it is you’re doing. In this way your concentration level remains so high, you’re highly intuitive. Nothing escapes your attention. You witness, without getting caught up in the witnessing. The focus of your awareness is widened to include everything, without the “self” getting in the way. It’s like the Buddhist saying…”Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”

Nondualism is the belief that dualism or dichotomy are illusory phenomena. Examples of dualisms include self/other, mind/body, male/female, good/evil, active/passive, and many others. A nondual philosophical or religious perspective or theory maintains that there is no fundamental distinction between mind and matter, or that the entire phenomenological world is an illusion (with the reality being described variously as the Void, the Is, Emptiness, or the Nondualism).

Many traditions (generally originating in Asia) state that the true nature of reality is non-dualistic, and that these dichotomies are either unreal or (at best) inaccurate conveniences. While attitudes towards the experience of duality and self may vary, nondual traditions converge on the view that experience does not imply an “I”.

In Western philosophy, nondual views are often called monism. Many postmodern theories also assume that the dichotomies traditionally used are invalid or inaccurate. For example, one typical form of deconstruction is the critique of binary oppositions within a text while problematization questions the context or situation in which common myths such as dualisms occur. Nondualistic beliefs also include monism and pluralism.

Terminology
The term “nondual” is a literal translation of the Sanskrit term advaita.

In the context of postmodern feminism and Tibetan Buddhism, Anne Carolyn Klein (1995, p.151), defines “dualism” as “an opposition that presumes a differance or tension that goes beyond taking account of qualities unique to logically related categories, for example, subject and object, sacred and profane, or enlightened or unenlightened.” She defines cognitive, ontological, and evolutionary nondualism. Simultaneous perception of self and other or joining of subject and object, simultaneous perception of one’s conditioned and unconditioned aspects, and one’s potential or inherent enlightenment, respectively.

Nondual realization
To the Nondualist, reality is ultimately neither physical nor mental. Instead, it is an ineffable state or realization. This ultimate thing can be called “Spirit” (Aurobindo), “Brahman” (Shankara), “God”, “The One”, “The All” (Plotinus), “The Self” (Ramana Maharshi), “The Absolute” (Schelling) or simply “The Nondual” (Bradley). Ram Dass calls it the “third plane”—any phrase will be insufficient, he maintains, so any phrase will do.

It should be pointed out that, technically, there can be no such thing as a nondual perspective or theory or experience, only a realization of Oneness or nonduality. One cannot accurately claim to experience nonduality, because the concept of experience depends on the subject-object distinction, which is a duality. The subject experiences an object, which is something separate from the subject. This is incompatible with a truly nondual realization. Thus, technically, there cannot truly be an accurate verbal account of this union, only words that insufficiently point to the realization.

Nondual religious and spiritual traditions

Zen
Zen, either in isolation or as a spiritual belief (Zen Buddhism), is a tradition or philosophy which is non-dual. It can be considered a religion, a philosophy, or simply a practice depending on one’s perspective. It has also been described as a way of life, work, and an art form.

Buddhism
In the Buddhist canon, the Diamond Sutra presents an accessible nondual view of “self” and “beings”, while the Heart Sutra asserts shunyata — the “emptiness” of all “things”. The fullest philosophical exposition is the Madhyamaka; by contrast many laconic pronouncements are delivered as koans. Advanced views and practices are found in the Mahamudra and Maha Ati, which emphasize the vividness and spaciousness of nondual awareness.

Not Two, Not One
Mahayana Buddhism, in particular, tempers the view of nonduality (wisdom) with respect for the experience of duality (compassion) — ordinary dualistic experience, populated with selves and others (sentient beings), is tended with care, always “now”. This approach is itself regarded as a means to disperse the confusions of duality (i.e. as a path). In Theravada, that respect is expressed cautiously as non-harming, while in the Vajrayana, it is expressed boldly as enjoyment (especially in tantra).

Dzogchen
Dzogchen is a relatively esoteric (to date) tradition concerned with the “natural state”, and emphasizing direct experience. This tradition is found in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, where it is classified as the highest of this lineage’s nine yanas, or vehicles of practice. Similar teachings are also found in the non-Buddhist Bön tradition. In Dzogchen, the primordial state, the state of nondual awareness, is called rigpa.

Advaita
Advaita (Sanskrit a, not; dvaita, dual) is a nondual tradition from India, with Advaita Vedanta as its philosophical arm. The theory was first consolidated by Sri Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD. Adherents to this theory of the nature of the soul (Brahman) are known as Smarthas.

According to Ramana Maharshi, the jnani (one who has realised the Self) sees no individual ego, and does not regard himself (or anyone else) as a “doer” of actions. The state of recognition is called jnana which means “knowledge” or “wisdom” referring to the idea that in this state of being, one is constantly aware of the Self. Bob Adamson (Melbourne, Australia), once a student of Nisargadatta Maharaj, who belonged to the Navanath Sampradaya lineage, says that a ‘Jnani’ is the ‘knowing presence’ which abides with all (of us) yet this knowing is seemingly covered over by identification with the ‘minds content’. However, teachers like Adamson point to the fact that the content of the mind is known, recognized by a prescence or awareness that is independent of the mind’s content. Adamson teaches that we form an identity based on the content of the mind (feelings, sensations, hopes, dreams, thoughts), however our true identity or nature is that which observes all of these things - the seer, the witness or the Self.

Taoism
Taoism’s wu wei (Chinese wu, not; wei, doing) is a term with various translations (e.g. inaction, non-action, nothing doing, without ado) and interpretations designed to distinguish it from passivity. From a nondual perspective, it refers to activity that does not imply an “I”.

Sufism
Sufism (Arabic تصوف taṣawwuf) is a mystic tradition of Islam based on the pursuit of spiritual truth as it is gradually revealed to the heart and mind of the Sufi (one who practices Sufism).

The central doctrine of Sufism, sometimes called Wahdat al-Wujud or Unity of Being, is the Sufi understanding of Tawhid. Put very simply, Tawhid states that all phenomena are manifestations of a single reality, or Wujud (being), which is indeed al-Haq (Truth, God). The essence of being/Truth/God is devoid of every form and quality, and hence unmanifest, yet it is inseparable from every form and phenomenon either material or spiritual. It is often understood to imply that every phenomenon is an aspect of Truth and at the same time attribution of existence to it is false. The chief aim of all Sufis then is to let go of all notions of duality (and therefore of the individual self also), and realize the divine unity which is considered to be the truth.

If one is serious about enlightenment, there are many paths to that end. Many are here on this site and I have links to many more wonderful spiritual teachers past and present. My own teacher is Dr. David Hawkins and to me the “buck” stops with him.

So much is often spent on the path to enlightenment as well as the spiritual. So many teachers out there will recruit the unsuspecting. Dr. Hawkins shows these “spiritual traps” in his books. He doesn’t care if his books are read as he often says. He also doesn’t care if anyone listens to him. His bi-monthly and past DVDs are inexpensive, as are his lectures. Some are free. His wisdom however, is to me “The Real Pearl Without Price”. One could become enlightened by reading the Truth within his books. Healing and Recovery is a new release and available through Veritas Publishing. Myswizard

True teachers are few and pretenders abound. If the masses were headed in the right direction, sainthood and enlightenment would be common. They are not.” … Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D

Absolute Truth
by Myswizard

“Humanity isn’t capable of discerning truth from falsehood. It doesn’t have the capacity.”…DRH

In philosophy, The Absolute is the opposite of relative. The term has acquired numerous widely variant connotations in different philosophical systems. It means unlimited, unconditioned, or free of any relation; perfect, complete, or total; permanent, inherent, or ultimate; independent, or valid without reference to a perceiving subject. In epistemology, absolute means certain or indubitable as opposed to probable or hypothetical. As a substantive, the absolute is the ultimate basis of reality, the principle underlying the universe. Theologically, it is synonymous with, or characteristic of, God. Philosophically, it may be considered as the unknowable, the thing-in-itself; as that ultimate nonrelative that is the basis of all relation; as the ultimate, all-comprehensive principle in which all differences and distinctions are merged. The concept of the absolute was present in Greek philosophy. In modern times, both realists and idealists have used the term, but it is, perhaps, most intimately connected with the idealism of G. W. Hegel…Columbia Encyclopedia

Since reading discourses, theories, and opinions on Absolute Truth, I am absolutely amazed at how the discussions, when linked with relativity, get so very charged with emotion. This invariably leads nowhere, because of the qualities of anything Absolute. Absolutism is beyond the scope of relativism*. It cannot be discussed at all in linear (easy to comprehend, logical, not complex, with boundaries) terms. Only the non linear, references The Absolute…(God). The problem lies with the fact that man has been trying with the greatest of wisdom to translate, theorize, or pontificate on a subject for which there is no scientific answer. As DRH* says, “It’s like trying to find Ghosts with a geiger counter.” When faced with the “wall” of “The Spirit”, discussion tends to be circuitious, which comes back to, “The Unknown”. Many intellectuals and pseudo intellectuals don’t care to discuss the non-linear, because of it’s ethereal quality.

In his book, Truth vs. Falsehood, Dr. Hawkins has done thousands of calibrations, which he continues to do as he writes and lectures. The work is groundbreaking, astonishing and of course controversial. One hasn’t been lauded, who also wasn’t criticized. When you put yourself “out there”, it’s a fact that you will be stoned (so to speak, by naysayers). As the Doctor says, “Tell the Truth and then leave town quickly.” Truth, however, cannot be deconstructed through the scientific mind. All the masters that I have under the topics on my site, expounded in their time, on Truths that were not discernable through “abstract reasoning”. Only through Higher levels of consciousness does Absolute Truth rein free.

I will be calibrating (using Divine Protoplasmic Analysis and The Map of Consciousness from Advanced Consciousness Research) that which I feel is relative to the world of spirituality (and writing from Higher Consciousness.) Although I’ve always used my own psychic capacity for discerning most things, I will be confirming using DPA. The levels above 200 calibrate with Truth and levels below 200 do not. That is the only scale I’ll use here. I will not be doing any personal calibrations. (Only subject matter, past or present with integrous intention.) I have no vested interest in how anything calibrates. The only thing I’m seeking is whether or not, the particular subject matter is worth giving time or interest to.
See below (Absolute Truth..definiton)
Definitions from American Heritage Dictionary, Columbia Encyclopedia.

*Everyday truth is based on statements which are assumed to be fact only through beliefs, indoctrinations, biases, opinions, prejudices, or scientific reasoning. These things however, are “relative” to the “believer”. Therefore, truth in the ordinary sense is relativistic (Todays’ philosophers give no credence to truth relativism.) Relativistic truth is not Truth. The quote at the beginning of this article says, “Humanity isn’t capable of discerning truth from falsehood. It doesn’t have the capacity.” That statement is Absolute Truth. What we “think” is truth is not Truth. Absolute Truth is absolute. There can be no discussion as to its’ quality. It is Truth as it comes from The Field, which is what we know as God. Science works through mathematical equations and laboratory testing. It cannot, however, prove Absolute Truth, since it falls within the unseen realm of Higher Consciousness and Divine Presence. (But they’re always trying)

Truth
Noun:
Conformity to fact or actuality.
A statement proven to be or accepted as true.
Sincerity; integrity.
Fidelity to an original or standard.

Etymology:
Middle English trewthe, loyalty, from Old English trowth; see deru- in Indo-European roots
Synonyms:
truth , veracity , verity , verisimilitude
These nouns refer to the quality of being in accord with fact or reality. Truth is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies accuracy and honesty: “We seek the truth, and will endure the consequences” (Charles Seymour). Veracity is adherence to the truth: “Veracity is the heart of morality” (Thomas H. Huxley). Verity often applies to an enduring or repeatedly demonstrated truth: “beliefs that were accepted as eternal verities” (James Harvey Robinson). Verisimilitude is the quality of having the appearance of truth or reality: “merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative” (W.S. Gilbert).
Thesaurus
Correspondence with fact or truth: accuracy, correctness, exactitude, exactness, fidelity,veraciousness,veracity, eridicality, verity. Freedom from deceit or falseness: truthfulness, veracity. The quality of being actual or factual: actuality, fact, factuality, factualness, reality.

Absolute
Noun:
Something that is absolute.
Absolute Philosophy
Something regarded as the ultimate basis of all thought and being. Used with The.
Something regarded as independent of and unrelated to anything else.
Etymology:
Middle English absolut, from Latin absoltus, unrestricted, past participle of absolvere, to absolve : ab-, away ; see ab- 1 + solvere, to loosen; see leu- in Indo-European roots
Other forms:
abso·luteness (Noun)
Usage Note:
An absolute term denotes a property that a thing either can or cannot have. Such terms include absolute itself, chief, complete, perfect, prime, unique, and mathematical terms such as equal and parallel. By strict logic, absolute terms cannot be compared, as by more and most, or used with an intensive modifier, such as very or so. Something either is complete or it isn’tit cannot be more complete than something else. Consequently, sentences such as He wanted to make his record collection more complete, and you can improve the sketch by making the lines more perpendicular, are often criticized as illogical.·Such criticism confuses pure logic or a mathematical ideal with the rough approximations that are frequently needed in ordinary language. Certainly in some contexts we should use words strictly logically; otherwise teaching mathematics would be impossible. But we often think in terms of a scale or continuum rather than in clearly marked either/or categories. Thus, we may think of a statement as either logically true or false, but we also know that there are degrees of truthfulness and falsehood. Similarly, there may be degrees of completeness to a record collection, and some lines may be more perpendicular that is, they may more nearly approximate mathematical perpendicularity than other lines. Accordingly, the objection to modification of an absolute term like parallel by degree seems absurd when it is used metaphorically, as in The difficulties faced by the Republicans are quite parallel to those that confronted the Democrats four years ago. This statement describes the structural correspondence between two distinct situations, and concerns about the possibility of intersection seem remote indeed. In this sense, parallelism is clearly a matter of degree, so one should not hesistate to modify parallel accordingly.

* DRH=Dr. David Hawkins (I often use just his initials, because of the fact he is mentioned so often on my site.)

Although I’ve been a student of Dr. David Hawkins and his works since Power vs. Force was first released, I had become very familiar with this form of testing previous to my discovering the Doctors’ work. Over the past 15 years I’d come to learn about this very important method of testing. Beginning with the use of Bach Flower Essences, this journey took me through the discoveries of testing for strength/weakness using essential oils, various methods of human behavior patterns, medications, and the use of supplements. I learned and practiced the closed circuit method, which is still used today by many practitioners.

Over the past year or so, because of my intense focus on Dr. Hawkins methods, I discovered something else which works for me. Because of the original work in AK requiring a partner, it was not very handy when needing to “know” something while doing self or solo research. A light bulb lit for me while I was going about my daily routine practices. I began experimenting, and saw that it worked for me. Although my own psychic abilities have grown throughout my life, this way of “seeing” is a perfect complimentary way to know Absolute Truth at all times.

I use this method for finding lost articles, health issues for myself and my family, finding integrous outside services, people to work with, people in general, choices regarding business and personal issues, whether or not news is truthful, whether someone is truthful or not, where to find what it is I’m searching for, and more (See Benefits of Reading Power vs. Force). It’s effectiveness is mind-boggling (100%) and has saved me time in making choices and decisions, because I have no time to waste.

This is not a secret, since there are no secrets within Absolute Truth. In fact, DRH has been discovering these self testing methods as a result of his work evolving. My own method is just a different way. It’s handy and can be used using various tools. Because of the nature and seriousness of this work, using it properly with integrous intention, is very important.

There have been many discussions and confusion regarding testing. It’s a fairly easy process in learning how to test. What is not easy, however, is being neutral.*(see below for new information) Neutrality is important. One must not have a vested interest in the answer and this is a lot more difficult than most realize. Becoming neutral requires practice because of the nature of the ego, and preconceived beliefs will affect the result. We all have desires and resistances to everything. Unless you’re adept at creating the state of pure awareness at will, your attention will very likely not be neutral. This is the one thing that may prevent getting a true reading using AK. The testers’ “field” has the possibility of getting in the way. Instead of wondering why readings are not inalignment with others, and becoming frustrated with the process, it is helpful to learn how to still the mind with meditation and other practices. Preface the testing with permission and for “The Highest Good.” One can also add “with complete detachment from the answer” or “with total neutrality.”

Transcending the Levels of Consciousness explores the ego’s expressions and inherent limitations and gives detailed explanations and instructions on how to transcend them. It expands the understanding of the levels of consciousness as presented in the now widely-known Map of Consciousness. This book focuses on the individual and studies the experiential subjective blocks to the advancement of consciousness that leads to progressive spiritual awareness and on to higher levels of consciousness preparatory to advanced states such as Enlightenment itself. By analyzing the various obstacles and levels to be transcended, certain principles that support spiritual evolution are self-revealing. This book is therefore a practical manual rather than a comprehensive analysis.

We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become.

Spiritual evolution occurs as the result of removing obstacles and not actually acquiring anything new. Devotion enables surrender of the mind’s vanities and cherished illusions so that it progressively becomes more free and more open to the light of Truth.

All judgment reveals itself to be self-judgment in the end, and when this is understood a larger comprehension of the nature of life takes its place.

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.
From the book: The Eye of The I

Every thought, action, decision or feeling creates an eddy in the interlocking, interbalancing, ever-moving energy fields of life, leaving a permanent record for all of time. This realization can be intimidating when it first dawns on us, but it becomes a springboard for rapid evolution.

Prayer: Holding in mind what you desire, but without adding desire to it.

That which you resist stays.

Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give.

Everything you see happening is the consequence of that which you are.

Everybody is like a magnet. You attract to yourself reflections of that which you are. If you’re friendly then everybody else seems to be friendly too.

All you need is one spiritual tool and you need to use it all the time, no matter what.

When one begins to be publicly criticized this usually means they have found their place in history. Usually it’s someone with a high profile or one who has broken ground on new concepts, theories, or in Dr. Hawkins case, Truth. It’s certainly a strange way for the great masters of our time to have been lauded, but in the past they were stoned, or worse. ( If this were the time of Jesus, I shudder to think of the consequences). We’re a so-called civilized society now, but that does not preclude having detractors. It has usually taken decades or sometimes centuries, for wondrous discoveries or Spiritual Masters to be truly acknowledged.

Dr. Hawkins has one of the longest lists of accomplishments in ones lifetime that I’ve ever seen. His work is groundbreaking. **(see all articles and books) Since the non linear, cannot be proven within a linear realm, those who don’t understand will either be curious or criticize. As Dr. Hawkins says, “The mind cannot differentiate between truth and falsehood. It doesn’t know how”. Ego will always get in the way of Truth, no matter how learned one becomes. Our opinions and beliefs about everything are subjective, but not to be confused with Absolute Truth. There is a measurement for everything in the material world. Divinity has given us the awareness for the measurement of spiritual Truth through the work of Dr. Hawkins.

Dr. Hawkins detractors would like proof, so they are doing their best to discredit him. But, Cynicism,* calibrates under 200 while the desire for Truth calibrate over 200. Healthy curiosity about that which one doesn’t understand is more appropriate to intelligent behavior, than a lambasting. Having used his methods, I can attest to the fact, that the ways in which I use them in my daily life, have proven to me they work. I suppose this could leave me open to criticism, but since it always shows me The Way, I know that I know. I have to attest to having a tool in my life that is so precious, it’s beyond price. Skepticism has no place in my life. When in doubt, I use The Map of Human Consciousness and AK (Applied Kinesiology).

Everything on the planet is moving at an accelerated rate, including the path to enlightenment. Discoveries are arriving almost at the speed of light and this is due to the tapping into The Infinite Field of Knowledge. We have no time to waste, anymore. The more knowledge that is available, the more we are able to utilize it, when the time is right, and one has the will to “see” it. I am honored and priviledged to be on the planet at the same time as this man. In the decades and centuries to come, I know it will be what Dr. Hawkins has brought forth that will hasten this journey back to God, for peace and an enlightened society.

*Seventy eight percent of the population cannot do AK because of their calibrated level of consciousness. Another 10 percent(of those who calibrate over 200) cannot, for various unknown reasons. Also the calibration of the question, itself, and the intention must be integrous. This negates the cynics, who, by virtue of what they are, calibrate under 200. For further understanding see reference below and other works by DRH.

These are all Amazon reviews by a few of the people who have read Dr. David Hawkins latest book, Truth vs. Falsehood. I am in total concurrence with all these 5 star reviews. I have read all of Dr. Hawkins published works as well as seen or heard all of his lectures starting in 2002 on the subject of The Calibrations of the Levels of Human Consciousness. Long before these books were made public, Dr. Hawkins had been sharing his discoveries on this subject with heads of state in order to find the Truth on important issues. Now for the first time Truth stands unchallenged. In the past decade many of us have become familiar with the Doctor’s works, and use them in our daily lives. I’m certain in the decades to come and long after this generation has left the planet, The Calibrations of The Levels of Human Consciousness will stand alone as The most brilliant and important discovery of humankind. Look for forthcoming books by Dr. Hawkins and visit his new website (posted under links) for more information.

It was with this background that I eagerly devoured this newest book. Even with this familiarity, the book far exceeded my expectations. There are those who mouth the aphorism: “The Truth will set you free” and those who try to live it. Since it has been impossible until now to know what is and what is not true, it has been difficult to distinguish the talkers from the doers. No more. The wheat can easily be separated from the chaff. Only those interested in the wheat will get what this book is all about.

This is a “must read” for every statesman, jurist, policy maker, diplomat and university president. This book lays the groundwork for the development of a true science of diplomacy that will allow us to develop laws, policies and programs that are likely to be constructive rather than destructive. As a result we can avoid the blunders of the past that have cost so much in human life and suffering.

This is a “must read” for physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists. A more compassionate understanding of the human condition will allow us to reclaim our role as healers rather than technicians. Our patients will benefit.

This is a “must read” for religious leaders with one caveat. This book resolves ages old spiritual conundrums that have served to separate rather than unite the world’s major religions. If you are an avid religionist with inflexible religious beliefs, then you had best avoid this book. If you are a part of a religion that emphasizes guilt, shame, hell, and damnation but somehow find this oppressive, then this will be a truly liberating experience - for you and for all you serve.

I am convinced that we are at a major branch point in human history. Very often this is only realized in hindsight. It could take generations before the impact of Dr. Hawkins’ work is truly appreciated. I hope it happens faster than that, however.

Buy it. Read it. The sooner you’re set free, the sooner we all benefit.
Timothy P. Gray MD (Riverside, CA.)

When I first read Dr. Hawkins’ first book, “Power Vs Force”, it changed my life. I had been using Applied Kinesiology techniques in a clinical setting, but the calibration of truth that was demonstrated expanded my paradigm. Ever since then there has been less guesswork and wrong turns in my life because as often as possible I now use kinesiological testing to point me in the direction of my highest possible choice and truth.

“Truth Vs Falsehood” is a continuation and expansion of “Power Vs Force”. Dr. Hawkins touches on many subjects and lists their calibrated numbers right in tables in the book with explanations in the following paragraphs. Topics that are covered include social structures and problems, countries and politics, war, spirituality and religion, as well as a history of man’s evolution of consciousness to the present day. Anyone who picks up this book and reads it with interest and an open mind will have some points of view changed.

As always, I am impressed with Dr. Hawkins’ level of scientific and spiritual knowledge, wisdom and creativity. This book, like his others, shifted my outlook on many aspects of life. I was surprised how thoroughly I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make a difference in their life or the life of others.
Dr. Robert Ciprian (Portland OR.)

Awesome and astonishing are my reactions to this large undertaking, comprehensive and infinite in scope. Truth vs Falsehood goes even farther in describing consciousness and the illusions of appearance and perception than in the previous books. Man’s history has been governed by the unconscious ego manifesting as duality and the belief in causality. The science of truth emerged with Power vs Force in 1995, the first book of the trilogy. Those books are stepping stones to the magnificent TvsF. Sections I & IV are an ever expanding & illuminating discourse on truth and higher consciousness which streams effortlessly from Dr. Hawkins. Sections II & III pertain to all the aspects of daily life of society and America & the condition of the World. Included are many illustrations and the guidelines to the muscle testing method and as each chapter is calibrated, the book is self audited. Also, calibrations are listed for art, music, science, over 200 movies, places, politics, philosophies, schools, industries, organizations and events from antiquity to the present. The values of the listed calibrations themselves are not the author’s own opinions but are the results of the research. His concepts of truth and consciousness arise from his own inner Knowingness, and kinesiology only served to confirm his realizations. To avoid confusion, all information is presented in context. This book has been eagerly awaited but surpasses all expectations. Yet those new to this subject may be skeptical and taken aback but i am very impressed with how every consideration has been tactfully made to avoid offending the sensitivities of readers. This big research has now been accomplished which eliminates the need for others to do it, however kinesiology can be learned although not mastered in a fortnight. This book can serve as a reference to almost every facet of life except for personal matters and research projects. Truth is no longer elusive and for those open to this subject matter, Enjoy!
Howard S. Gay Jr. (San Diego, CA.)

Everyone has had an intuitive moment…the gut feeling about something, a sense, knowingness without words. For those who, like myself, have sought to understand the process of intuition, consciousness, life force, Dr. David Hawkins’ first book, “Power vs Force,” elucidated the link between the unseen, non-linear, with modern science. From that basis, Hawkins now lucidly brings forth the link between consciousness and the world in his new book, “Truth vs Falsehood.” Hawkins presents a synthesis of the coherence of the multi-faceted world that surrounds us, i.e. the hard sciences, medicine, geopolitics, history, economics, religion, the arts, etc. The framework, the underlying thread is consciousness, from which springs forth the world as we see it. Hawkins looks at the nature of life itself, traces life from before the protozoa to modern times. The process of the expression of consciousness in its infinite variations is explained, from a fleeting semi-conscious thought, intention, the purr of a kitty cat, to the more palpable expressions such as the stock market, internet search engines, suicide bombers, political agendas. As the book unfolds, it dawns upon the reader that Hawkins’ synthesis is all encompassing in scope, yet ultimately simple and elegant. For this reader, a scientist/clinician, the elegance of Hawkins’ synthesis is breathtaking. It is as if one is reading and seeing ourselves through the eyes of Divinity. There are no more issues, no more questions. All issues, controversies become subsumed in the field of consciousness. Life is explained.

For those who have been seeking a “unified theory of everything”, this is it. It is not “theory”, it is Truth.
Carol E. Davis

Intermediate/Advanced Reading-Intermediate to Advanced Spiritual

Although I have quite a bit of information on these titled subjects, I wish to make one thing clear regarding my use of them. I do not use these spiritual tools as a means to operate my own life. I’ve enjoyed them and used them as entertainment and fun. Many of the sayings within have much wisdom. Before taking divination practices seriously as a way to run one’s life, I would have to defer to own inner knowings and AK.

I use Dr. Hawkins calibrations of human consciousness and kinesiology in testing for integrity regarding important issues and questions I have. In the Book, “Truth vs. Falsehood”, Dr. Hawkins has calibrated many spiritual practices. Many calibrate over the level of Truth, (200) but many others calibrate below. Over the course of several decades, my own exploration has led me to many of these practices(although none of the lower ones). Since my journey is enlightenment, I do not need these practices in my life. When you are seriously seeking enlightenment, these will all be distractions, and there is no time to waste when on that path.

Most of the material on my website has been tested for Truth and tests in the levels well above integrity. All of my writings are calibrated before publishing, and I will remove any other information thats proves not true when calibrated. As always, I will respond to questions regarding testing of subject matter for my readers.

It came to my attention from a lecture of Dr. David Hawkins that we are, as a culture, being indoctrinated subliminally (without our knowledge), into believing and responding to all sorts of ideas and things we aren’t aware of, consciously. “Subliminally,” I knew that, so I thought I would address that here.

As adults, we are being bombarded with subtle messages through ads, and banners and news. We “think” we are making our own decisions, but are we? Every time a message is shown to us or we even catch a fleeting glance at a billboard, our psyches are being programmed with false information for us to absorb. Our brains are pulling in hundreds or more signals a day through everything we, see, hear, or read. Fifty per cent of all information on the internet is false.*(Hawkins …The Calibrated Levels of Human Consciousness) Books that give us slanted messages are being read by millions and are thought to be true, by virtue of the author’s credentials. At the end of the day can we be truly be certain we are even making our own decisions based on neutrality?

The younger generations are playing video games that teach them how to kill and attack unknown enemies. Parents are buying these games with the belief “It’s only a game.” The harmful implications are huge. This is raping the innocence of the consciousness of children. Young minds are in the forming stages. They are incapable of sorting out the simpler things in life, let alone the subliminal messages being absorbed within these games. With every kill they make they are being taught to become numb to the subtleties of the messages these games are sending.

This message also applies to music, movies and TV. There is absolute proof that certain types of music make one weak and other music, strong. Some are soothing to our spirit and others harmful. We all have preferences and favorite things we love to see and hear. Some of us love classical music while others love hard rock. We like seeing sad movies that make us cry, movies with killing and maiming, and others love only comedies.

Our society is flush with creative minds capable of producing all sorts of mind blowing and bending entertainment, for our pleasure and their financial enhancement. How are we to sort it all out? How do we know that the fight we just had with a stranger or a friend wasn’t spurred on by our just having seen or heard something that made us feel that way? Subliminal becomes overt when all the anger, hate, resentment, jealousy, unhappiness, uneasiness with our lives has been put there through the ads, music, TV, movies, and other things we absorb.

I’m certain by now you may be thinking, “I’m an adult, I can think for myself” or “My child knows the difference between right and wrong.” But, does anyone really know what has been uploaded like software into the hard drives of our minds? No one can possibly know, until some “thing” occurs one day which makes one say- “This can’t be happening to us, or “I didn’t know she/he could have done such a thing”, or “He seemed like such a nice guy.”

This phenomena may be subject at this time to more modern social structures, but what will happen when less advanced societies have access to our programming? It’s already happening in countries that are advancing. If the consciousness levels here aren’t high enough to realize this is occurring, what will happen when less conscious societies are subjected to our indoctrinations on top of their own? It’s not a pretty picture of the future.

Although one cannot yet see awareness levels rising as fast as we would like them to, we can individually keep our spirits high by being particular with what we choose to see, hear, read, and believe. When we act with neutral awareness, we will know on a “gut” level what is positive and true.

*Truth vs Falsehood..Dr David Hawkins

“That which is love you can’t get rid of, and that which is not love you cannot obtain.”

David Hawkins
