Excerpt on the Nature of God

[Pax]

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a beautiful day! Just wanted to share with you an excerpt from the book "I: Reality and Subjectivity" (pp. 171-173) by Dr. David R. Hawkins, which I hope might be of interest:

Quote

From the totality of authentically verifiable sources of spiritual knowledge can be distilled an absolute, irreducible quintessence, a core of absolute validity that transcends all positionalities or editorializing for either advantage or gain. From the source of the subjective reality from which these words emanate, as well as the derivation of man’s spiritual experience throughout history, the following statements can be made with absolute certainty:

1. God is both manifest as the Totality and Allness of Creation and simultaneously unmanifest as the Godhead, the Infinite Potentiality and source or ‘voidness’ prior to form.
2. God is infinite beyond time or depictions of space or locality, without beginning or end.
3. God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.
4. God is the source and substrate of consciousness, awareness, knowingness, and sentience.
5. God is the sole source of the energy of life.
6. God is the source of evolution and Creation, which are one and the same.
7. God is the source and presence of peace, love, stillness, and beauty.
8. God is beyond all universes and materiality, yet is the source of All That Is.
9. God is the sole source of existence and the potentiality of beingness.
10. God is the ultimate context of which the universe and all existence is the content.
11. God is the a priori formless source of existence within all form.
12. God is not within the province of the provable or the intellect.
13. God is the source and essence of the subjective state of ‘I-ness’ called Enlightenment.
14. God is the radical subjectivity of Self-realization.
15. God is descriptively immanent and transcendent.
16. The human experience of the Presence of God is the same in all ages, all cultures, and all localities.
17. The effect on human consciousness of the experience of the Presence of God is subjectively transformative and identical throughout human history. It leaves a timeless mark that is verifiable as a calibration of a recorded level of consciousness.
18. The essence of God does not include human frailties, such as partiality, the desire to control, favoritism, duality, judgmentalism, wrath, righteous anger, resentment, limitation, arbitrariness, vanity, revenge, jealousy, retaliation, vulnerability, or locality.
19. The variabilities of the depictions of Divinity reflect the variabilities of human perception and the projections of the impediments of the ego and its positionalities.
20. The purity of the Presence of God is traditionally the essence of the ineffable quality of holiness and is the basis for the depictive term ‘sacred’. That which is devoid of content is the equivalent of Innocence.
21. When the obstacles of human mentation, emotionality, and the ego’s structures from which they are derived are transcended, the Self as God Immanent shines forth of its own accord, just as the sun shines forth when the clouds are removed.
22. God is the context and source of the karmic unity of all Creation, beyond all perceptual descriptions or limitations, such as time or space.
23. Truth is verifiable only by identity with it and not by knowing about it.

[Yeah Yeah]

I was feeling somewhat down about this whole thing called life, and then I remember Leo said to a 37 year old he'll reach 60 and look back and realize he's had plenty of time to follow through with life wants like a relationship or starting a business or learning an instrument for example, and this has calmed me down a little, 

Anyways, this will be excellent, I love David R Hawkins and wish there were long lectures available, but I think I must purchase them at some point, plus his books are somewhat short and fasinating, I'm guessing these to be bullet points from the book you've read, which I hope to eventually get around to, 

Thanks in advance,

[Pax]

@Yeah Yeah Yes, his lectures are great and lovely to listen to, while his books are even more concise and profound in my view (albeit not as humorous!). Particularly "The Eye of the I" and "I: Reality and Subjectivity" are incredible. It's so much to take in that I frequently have to pause to reflect on it. It's like if I don't contemplate this one statement for one week then I feel like I'm missing out, LOL. So right now that's exactly what I'm doing, picking one section at a time and contemplating it for as many days as I see fit.

And yes, the bullet points are from I:RS. They're 23 statements that calibrate at LoC 1,000:

Quote

The absolute truth of these statements about the Reality of Divinity was publicly corroborated on July 13, 2002, before an audience of over two hundred people during a public lecture. The audience was divided into one hundred muscle-testing teams. The truth of each statement was then tested by the whole audience simultaneously. The confirmation of each statement was one hundred percent (calibrated level 1,000), and the procedure was videotaped. The purpose was to present credible documentation of Truth in today’s world to provide validation that does not depend on historical accounts or ecclesiastical authority, which are often the subject of doubt in modern society.

Of course you'll want to ruminate on these gold nuggets, fasinating ! I found this to be the case with Course of Miracles to which he recommended, haven't yet finsihed, and that book alone, with so much to take in, sure does change prespective from lets say the animalistic chimp brain and more towards an articulated spiritual way of being in this world, fasinating !

?

@Pax And I just realized you also have a fasination with David R Hawkins, I've recently been contemplating a bit about a few of his teachings in particular, as of these past few days, and I've watched one online video here and there over the week but kind of haulted on the books and videos maybe a month ago, because I've been recently devouring Actualized.Org lectures ... I haven't yet found clarity about what I've suddenly been contemplating as recent, and I find it to be important - it has to do with the keniesiology testing and its ability to detect truth from falsehood -

For starters, how seriously (or playfully; because I hate taking anything seriously with a sense of determinism or military attitude - I think military pride calibrates kind of low, and if pride gets stripped off a person, they'll then fall into shame of the sorts, which is much lower) ... anyways, say I write music (as an example), and I want to publish a fantastic song which could be synonymous with Michaelangelo's ceiling art - So to create and produce this song from a truthful angle, from an angle of bringing forth outstanding human qualities into the artwork like winning gold in the olympics for a country, instead of a desire for fame & money -  I'd want to play with this kenisiology technuique to the best of my ability before I die and as a result fulfill my love for making music to the best I can,

Right? 

I've been on the fence how seriously (playfullly) I should impliment this amazing tool into my life; because it is quite ghostly to hear about others in the world of 7 billion people using it - Not a lot lot of people really decipher between falsehood and truth at all during their somewhat mundane lives, not really, although I imagine it'd be beneficial for the rest of us if more folks did do so, 

Just sharing some of my personal contemplations these past few days, I can't die not testing it out to its fullest advantages - Doc would check if vegetables were ripe when grocery shopping, and he'd use it to come up with red hot in-the-moment desicions, 

As he'd say, the path through this lifetime is straight and narrow, many animalistic and lusiferian distractions tempt us; however, again, how seriously should I take this in my day to day life, and the art I throw myself into ... (Likewise this question can go back to yourself, how often should one act on desifering between truth and falsehood and to which degree of sincerity,) 

Thanks !

Very good.

Exactly right.

For sure, I actually got the idea from ACIM. I've gotten to lesson 300 almost, and figured I might apply the same structure to Doc "lessons". This paragraph from the chapter "Practicum" in "Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man" also comes to mind:

Quote

It is rewarding to choose a spiritual lesson or concept for the day that serves as a focus for contemplation. This is a way of contextualizing the entire day and its experiences. For instance, one can select Unity’s Daily Prayer, a lesson from A Course in Miracles, a step from the twelve-step program, a Psalm, or a basic spiritual premise, such as surrender, humility, or the letting go of control or the desire for gain. When done repeatedly over a period of time, it becomes incorporated into one’s personality and attentional set by which one automatically becomes benevolent, loving towards all life in all its expressions, and aware of the perfection and beauty of every moment.

I've figured that applied kinesiology can be a very helpful tool for making personal decisions. For example, "it serves the highest good that I attend this meeting" and then try to break apart the thumb and the ring finger.

I'm not yet at a point where I feel totally confident in my calibrations or want to share them with others, as my mind can be quite "muddled". But it's great for personal use. When I trust my highest good calibrations things generally go well, oftentimes remarkably so.

Yes, you can surely apply it to your art is well. If the artwork makes you go strong then I would probably publish it, but if not I would probably abstain. lol.

Yes, not many are using it. That might be because so few have heard of it, and of those a large portion just dismiss it as weird. Also, 85 percent of the world population does not even fulfill the basic criteria of integrity. And of those who do only a few are highly accurate.

I've observed that even among Hawkins students not many are using it. Like, they love his teachings but they are not convinced muscle testing works. But I think that much like anything it's a skill to be acquired. Like, you obviously won't be perfectly skilled in the art of muscle testing when first starting out, but as you keep doing it the results tend to get more and more accurate. Particularly emotions tend to interfere with results I've noticed. Muscle testing is a spiritual practice almost like meditation, where you should strive to have a clear mind.

Yes, the temptations and deceptions are everywhere, particularly in the last year where mankind seems to have dropped below 200.

In my view there is nothing more important than the pursuit in spiritual truth, to which there should be total commitment! But that might just be me. 

@Leo Gura Cool that you think so!
