Dr. David R. Hawkins Explains His Enlightenment

Dr. Hawkins was an explorer of Consciousness while on earth. His own enlightenment came through the portal of deep despair. He felt motivated to help others, so they wouldn’t have to experience the same timeless pain and despair. His books detail the Pathway of Heart and Mind (coined “Devotional Nonduality”) in which devotion and surrender to God, our Divine Source, is at its core. This is taken from an excellent 2 part interview called “Advanced States of Consciousness” with a Korean Monk. Dr. Hawkins explains "his own" enlightenment "experience". You can pick it up through the site at www.veritaspub.com. The whole interview details a wealth of profound experience about the path to enlightenment.

Transcending the Experiencer - Various Excerpts, Dr. David Hawkins

www.veritaspub.com - Clips are from disc 2 of Alignment (April 2005), disc 1 of Spiritual Practice and Daily Life (October 2006), and Experiential Reality (February 2006). The "Om's" in the background are by Doc himself. The occasional tibetan bowl was added by me as a sound effect. The Video is primarily from Hwy 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona, AZ, in March of 2013. The other videos are from various aspects of my stay in Sedona at that time, Cathedral Rock in the background, and charcoal w/ Frankincense.
These teachings are for the serious student who seeks enlightenment (transcendence of the ego). In these excerpts, Dr. Hawkins is speaking on letting go of the "experiencer" aspect of the ego. What stands behind it is non describable while experientially infinite. With gratitude for these teachings. Blessings on your journey~

The Great Bell Chant with Thich Nhat Hanh

A Buddhist Prayer for the End of Suffering
This beautiful prayer written by Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, is chanted by brother Phap Niem.

"May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos
Even in the darkest spots
Living beings are able to hear it clearly
So that all suffering in them cease
Understanding comes to their heart
And they transcend the path of sorrow and death.
The universal dharma door is already open
The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly
The miracle happens
A beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower
One single drop of this compassionate water
Is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.
Listening to the bell
I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve
My mind calm
My body relax
A smile is born on my lips
Following the sound of the bell
My breathe brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness
In the garden of my heart
The flowers of peace bloom beautifully."

Be transported to a place of serenity and hope with this exquisite prayer.




During these busy times, when many people are feeling overwhelmed, it is our hope that these "media-tations" will deepen your access to a deep gratitude for the very preciousness meaning of life.

THE VENERABLE THICH NHAT HANH is a Buddhist monk, poet, Nobel nominee, and the author of Being Peace, The Miracle of Mindfulness, and many other books.

Heading for THREE Thousand visits in one week.
Im uplifted by the upsurge in people interested in spirituality.
The big question "Who am I?"
Or more accurate one "What Am I?"
"Form, formless, both and neither" that is a good pointer for me.
So here we are in form and before and after, formless.
Nasargadatta was clear -- we are the "unborn" timeless -- no beginning- no end, that's the true definition of eternal.
So enjoy the play of consciousness.
With love C
