In this thorough explanation of the human ego, Dr. Hawkins points out that the difficulty with the mind is that it doesn't know the difference between that which is mental from that which "is". He explains that we can transcend the ego and reach the higher states of consciousness not by battling it, spending 30 years in psychotherapy or meditating forever, but by understanding its origin, its nature and its function. The ego then begins to dissolve on its own through compassion and acceptance because when you shine light on darkness, the darkness begins to disappear.

In this comprehensive lecture, Dr. Hawkins explores a diverse range of topics, such as the importance of a true teacher, your commitment to spiritual integrity and the power of the field. If you have ever felt that you are alone in your spiritual quest, he also emphasizes that once you have aligned yourself with the spiritual energies, you don't walk alone. You walk along with all who support your intention and have gone there before you. Pearls of wisdom throughout this talk will lay the groundwork for your spiritual intention.
