Profound David Hawkins insights

[Dulinho]

I read David Hawkins´ Power Vs. Force and marvelled at these paragraphs - enjoy!

“There is only one absolute truth; all the rest are semi-facts spawned from the artifacts of limited perception and positionality. “To be or not to be” is not a choice; one may decide to be this or that, but to be is, simply, the only fact there is. All of the foregoing has been expressed at various times in man’s intellectual history by sages who have moved beyond duality in their awareness. But even then, to claim that the comprehension of the non-duality of existence is superior to its realization as dual is again to fall into another illusion. There is, ultimately, neither duality nor non-duality; there is only awareness. Only awareness itself can state that it is beyond all concepts such as “is” or “is not.” This must be so, because “is” can be conceived only by consciousness itself. Awareness itself is beyond even consciousness. Therefore, it may be said that the Absolute is unknowable exactly because it is beyond knowing, because it is beyond the reach of consciousness itself. Those who have attained such a state of awareness report that it cannot be described and can have no meaning for anyone without the experience of that context. Nonetheless, this is the true state of Reality, universally and eternally; we merely fail to recognize it. Such a recognition is the essence of enlightenment and the final resolution of the evolution of consciousness to the point of self-transcendence...When vacillation between heaven and hell becomes unendurable, the desire for existence itself has to be surrendered. Only once this is done may one finally move beyond the duality of Allness versus nothingness, beyond existence versus nonexistence. This culmination of the inner work is the most difficult phase, the ultimate watershed, where one is starkly aware that the illusion of existence one transcends is irrevocable. There is no returning from this step, and this specter of irreversibility makes this last barrier appear to be the most formidable choice of all. But, in fact, in this final apocalypse of the self, the dissolution of the sole remaining duality of existence versus nonexistence—identity itself—dissolves in Universal Divinity, and no individual consciousness is left to choose. The last step, then, is taken by God.”

Everything is recontextualized as Infinite Love.

Everything is seen as God.

love me for a reason and let the reason be love

Pretty good quote. Most people never reach neither existence nor nonexistence. It is essentially the core of Mahayana Buddhism’s Two Truths though. It comes to anyone who experiences Self/God then applies proper discernment and reaches the collapse/annihilation of experience (cessation/Nibbana) then applies proper discernment to that as well. 
 

The missing part is applying proper discernment. Most people treat God as an ultimate ground of reality. Less people treat Nibbana as an ultimate ground of reality. Even less people see the inherent impermanence and lack of inherent existence of both God and Nibbana. Tao is probably the most accurate common word related to what comes after, but some choose to still use God/Nibbana/Self/No Self/etc. to describe it although these words are problematic as so many others use these words with a lower level of understanding. Beyond Tao is ________ as the most complete word to describe this. 

Here’s a pointer for anyone interested: Neither _________ nor _________ but always ________. Sit with that for a while and watch your mind and emotions to see how they react to it compared to “God” or whatever ultimate word you want to use. It’s not about filling in the blanks. It’s about seeing the blanks are are already full with emptiness. As the Buddha said, all the Dharma is empty. 

It seems like David probably has some strong experience of the territory to be able to put a writing like that together. I hope he’s gotten to the Realization phase to lock it in his direct experience permanently.
