To anyone familiar with David Hawkins: What books of his are best ?

5 posts in this topic

I've found snippets and clips of his lectures on YouTube.

I saw that on his official website, his full lectures are essentially completely held secret by a ludicrously high pay wall. With there being hundreds of lectures, but each lecture being twice as expensive as one of his books. Although there is a book form of the content in all his lectures, which just means that it's the audio format they protect.

So I'm now thinking about books. There are two which stick out to me from the get go. His "Letting go: the pathway to surrender", and his "Healing and Recovery" book for various illnesses. 

I'll perhaps go with these two for now. David Hawkins is an amazing sage, I'm a little apprehensive about his model and use of numbers for levels of consciousness. I've heard these things about muscle testing and am a bit apprehensive to say the least. 

But that said. Other books I've thought about are power vs force, truth vs falsehood and devotional non-duality. Not sure to what extent those first two books just mentioned overlap in material.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

I am currently listening to The Ultimate David Hawkins Library. It's a 10-hour long compilation of his lectures. Although, I am interested in reading/listening to Letting Go.

I've read all nine books of his books in chronological order in which they were published. My top three would be:

Power vs Force

I: Reality and Subjectivity

Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment.

You are correct that some of the material overlaps. However, sometimes you find a sentence in one of his books that makes it worth reading. The problem is that you don't know which sentence it is and in which book, so you should read all of them. :)
