David R. Hawkins - A Lesson On The Heart, Dedication,The World & More

In looking at the Map of Consciousness, we can track what happened. The snake would have instantly sensed the fear, which has a negative energy field, along with my anger and desire to strike at it. However, his responses through his energy system were so fast that the strike would have happened before I could have moved my shin out of the way. Instead, because of the severe threat of the circumstances, I really, really let go. Did I ever! I moved right through the willingness to let go, right through the acceptance, love, and joy, and right into a state of profound peace. If we calibrate the energy field of that experience, it started out at 100, but almost instantly, it moved up to 600. Then a Presence prevailed—an Infinite, profoundly still Presence whose essential nature is one of peace, whose power is infinite—that controlled the whole experience. Thus, both the snake and I transcended fear, and we moved to a timeless silence. The snake was as though enchanted. We looked at each for minutes, and I was reluctant to break the spell by leaving. The snake then slithered away and never rattled its tail. This is valuable because it illustrates the falsity of another one of the mind's belief systems that we have to learn to release, which is the idea that fear is the source of our safety. We will notice that the mind seems to worship fear as though it is some kind of a demigod. The mind has a program that says, "The reason I'm alive is due to my fears. I am alive because I allow fear to decide what I am going to do." A little introspection will show that this belief system is going on. A person says, "Well, if I wasn't afraid of being poor in my old age, I wouldn't get insurance. If I wasn't afraid of an automobile accident, I wouldn't drive safely." So the person begins to ascribe the source of their aliveness, the source of their life, to fear, which is the god of their life. They really begin to worship fear. We can see from the above example that just the opposite is true. What insures our survival is the absence of fear and its replacement by caution and realistic common sense. We have managed to survive in spite of our fears, not because of them. We can make decisions based on rational choice, on our knowledge, and on value coming from the beingness of that which we really are without fear entering the picture at all. All day long we make decisions based just on our awareness of reality, with no fear particularly involved. Fear is not necessary. There is the idea that fear is good for us, that it is beneficial and has all kinds of hidden, mysterious values. People will look back and rationalize how fear got them to do this and do that, and all I can say is, "Too bad." Too bad they did not do it out of love for themselves or for their fellow human beings. Too bad that they did not do it out of love for life itself, love for their own aliveness, and love for their body. Why not do things for our body out of love for it instead of out of fear of the consequences? Why not keep it healthy and happy because we love and value it, not because we are afraid of a heart attack or something else?

Bruce Lipton, Ph.D - Revolution of the Evolution & Emergence of Cultural Creatives

An exciting talk

Dr Bruce Lipton interview by Lilou Mace http://www.facebook.com/liloumacewebTV recorded under the rain and sun in Honolulu Hawaii at the Quantum Medicine Congress

Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell's information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell's equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University's School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today's most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.

Dr. Lipton's novel scientific approach transformed his personal life as well. His deepened understanding of cell biology highlighted the mechanisms by which the mind controls bodily functions, and implied the existence of an immortal spirit. He applied this science to his personal biology, and discovered that his physical well-being improved, and the quality and character of his daily life was greatly enhanced.

Author of 'Infinite Potential' and 'In Search of Divine Reality' talks about 'What Quantum Physics reveals about how we should live our lives.' Retired Professor of chemistry he spent a large part of his life in a laboratory looking at quantum-chemical computations and electron diffraction studies of molecular structures. He says, "You need to first understand the order of the universe and your place in it - you can't find happiness in your personal life if you are not living in harmony with the universe. The constituents of real things are found not to be real - these findings show that the quantum phenomena make it possible to establish a new covenant between the human mind and the mind-like background of the universe - one that provides a home again to the homeless and meaning to seemingly pointless life. The universe must be assumed to have a moral as well as a physical order, and facts and values derive again from a single source."

Science, Planet Changes & World Crisis - Gregg Braden


Red Ice Radio interview.

Published on 27 Mar 2013

Gregg Braden is known as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. For more than 27 years, Gregg has explored high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to merge their timeless secrets. His discoveries inspired books as: The God Code, The Divine Matrix, Fractal Time, and his newest, Deep Truth. In the first hour, we begin on 2012 and the Mayan perspective on cyclic changes. Gregg talks about how changes on our planet will force changes within ourselves. He shares what he believes will be a miracle manifested soon. Then, he explains how our modern worldview has brought us to a crisis in thinking which threatens our lives today. He says most of the world's problems stem from a worldview based upon the false assumptions of an incomplete science. We'll identify the five key false assumptions science has made and talk about new discoveries that can solve problems.

The terror of non existence is something I used to feel when I had a panic attack (much worse than death). It was most severe when it first started (the breakdown), I thought of it as a dark night of the soul, now I'm thinking it was more of a Kundalini awakening. I became physically crippled for a time and couldn't eat anything at first, but it gradually got easier. It took me seven years in all to stop having those attacks, but I finally beat them by getting connected with HS and also surrendering (in a way) to the terror, by simply allowing it to be.

Of course I'm by no means enlightened, which is where I want to be. I just don't know if I'll ever be ready enough in this lifetime to suffer such agony again. Well, maybe if it only lasts a few minutes....

Great video Chris! Has Dr Hawkins written any good books you would recommend?

Hi Awake in a Dream
http://www.veritaspub.com/product_in...roducts_id=157

Discovery of the Presence of God: Devotional Nonduality
This, the sixth book in a progressive series by the author, finalizes and further clarifies the true nature and core of the condition termed “Enlightenment.” Although it draws on consciousness research for explanation and contextualization, it is primarily an instruction manual for the serious spiritual devotee and reveals information that is known only by those who have transcended the ego to reach Divine Realization.

This is the inner route from the self to the Self, and the descriptions of the progressive states are devoted to the reader’s own Illumination.

The subjective states of the mystic have been of great interest but historically never have been clarified to the degree presented in this semi-autobiographical account that also provides the means by which to identify their rare occurrence and thus describe the core characteristics of Spiritual Truth.

Devoid of ecclesiastical doctrine or religious belief systems, the pristine essence of all spiritual Truth is revealed in its purity with unprecedented clarity. It becomes clear that to truly “know” is to “be” rather than to “know about.” Why all of Dr. Hawkins’ books begin and end with “Gloria in Excelsis Deo!” becomes apparent.

You can get the book from Amazon I think.

This is a resume of Dr Hawkins life

Thanks Chris! I didn't realize it was the same guy that wrote 'Power V's Force'(a bit dumb of me), I'm terrible at remembering names. I feel really drawn to David Hawkins work though, so I will remember his name from now on.

Hi AwakeInADream the video in post 2162 is great.
Also the Ramana one post 2164 is a root of spirituality for me.
I virtually started the quest with him and keep returning back.
However I have all of Dr Hawkins books and quite a few of his lectures on the hard drive.
If you have space http://proxybay.net/search/dr%20David%20Hawkins/0/7/
The 2002 lectures are amazing
By coincidence Dr Hawkins mentions Ramana in the video.
Virtually every western enlightened sage and quite a few Indian ones quote Ramana.

Happy days

Ramana
I virtually started the quest with him and keep returning back.

Same, imo he guided me before I was even aware of it.


First time I went to a Satsang today http://www.muni-satsang.de/pag/home.htm.
The woman host told me on the phone that he was enlightened.
My attitude was more like ''we'll see'' a bit skeptical.
When he walked into the room I could immediately feel it, the energy became more subtle.
Things he said; if you are on a path you're going away from yourself. But not to deny the energy in us that wants to do.
I didn't listen much to the words, but the consciousness felt like,
Beingness and the forms in it are a dream - imagined...kind of like that if I had to put it into words.

Yes EmEx--Once you make a commitment you are led to the teacher & life situation that is right for you.
Its a pathless path, that's an Adyashanti quote. as is "You cant find what you already have",

Its subtle, there still has to be work done, but its a question of removing obstacles and Self Enquiry (What am I?)

The energy of Satsang can be very helpful, yet the teacher and the taught are identical---the same consciousness--there is only the One.
So many paradoxes.

Of course you know all this.
