Held at the Sedona Creative Life Center in 2006, this lecture recaps the basic spiritual principles that Dr. Hawkins teaches in his lectures and books. Dr. Hawkins explains the difference between essence and appearance and the innocence of Man. He also delves into how our view of God and ourselves is dependent on our level of consciousness. There is also a discussion of the importance of self-help groups. He also tells why the world is perfect as it is due to maximum karmic potential.

In this important seminar, Dr. Hawkins covers in depth the various characteristics that differentiate spiritual integrity. He also explores a list of integral teachers and how we can recognize a true teaching from a false one. He explains how the human mind is unable to discern truth from falsehood. In addition, Dr. Hawkins reveals how the personal self is re-born every instant and how this is our way out, our opportunity to become enlightened.

In this insightful lecture, Dr. Hawkins explains that we actually live in a sense of our own subjectivity which is coming from consciousness/awareness. He then guides us on how to become more aware of this Truth and the levels of Love, and how to be able to shift your awareness to a new paradigm from where you are to where your heart would like to be. There is a way of being in this world that is no longer dualistic. There is also a discussion on the important topics of intention, choice, prayer, surrender and perfecting the virtues as a spiritual foundation.

In a light and humorous style, Dr. Hawkins once again delivers a lecture worthy of your collection. By making us laugh at our egos and our own humanness, we are better able to accept and understand why we are the way we are and the solutions that he gives to transcending our current state of consciousness. Throughout this lecture, Dr. Hawkins also explains in great detail the necessary steps to realizing the Self. And as you let go of the various levels of consciousness by surrendering the ego and the attachment to linearity, you eventually come to a place of absolute stillness.

Dr. Hawkins begins this lecture by stating that our true purpose is to transcend from our original animal nature, otherwise known as the ego, to the realization of Divinity. He then guides us throughout this talk on how to allow the unfolding of this Truth. He explains our predicament: We have no idea where we came from, why we are here, who we are or where we are going. We are faced with the continuous uncertainty of life, everything we cling to is attacked and undermined by doubt within ourselves. However, the Presence of God as Self is the source of one's own existence.

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.

In this awe-inspiring lecture, Dr. Hawkins reveals that peace can't really be accomplished in the world, that it is an inner state. Peace and freedom are what you are and when you let go of trying to control things and give God advice, it puts you into a space where it's irrelevant. Dr. Hawkins explains that the intellect is really our problem, as it is very fast and takes credit for what happens and presumes to be the causal effect. If we can get beyond thinking in terms of a "this" causing a "that", then you don't need to make up a false explanation of why things happen.

Join Dr. Hawkins in this thought-provoking lecture as he explores various aspects of the ego and how to transcend them. He begins with an in-depth exploration of the belief in causality and how it is imperative to undo this illusion in order to dissolve the ego. He explains that phenomena is actually emerging within a field of infinite power. Another great barrier is having positionalities and he shows us how to see past the seeming opposites. There is instruction on how to recontextualize our life and our mind so it serves a higher purpose.

Spiritual gems are throughout this talk on forgiveness, the importance of kindness under and and all conditions, the undoing of judgementalism and the power of Love and mercy.

Dr. Hawkins begins this lecture by saying that our spirit will be where it must be as a consequence of that which it is. Everything is exactly precisely where it has brought itself through its own decision. He states: "There is nobody paddling the canoe except yourself!" However, with the progression of consciousness, the "I" is less and less limited and ultimately becomes the source of Knowingness itself. 

This collection of powerful, inspirational excerpts from various lectures given by Dr. Hawkins will provide memorable teachings that highlight several powerful lessons that can be focused on throughout your daily life.

What is Spiritual Truth? What is the nature of Enlightenment and what is the nature of God and the universe? Dr. Hawkins opens this powerful talk by asking these questions and with an unparalleled awareness, supplies us with the answers. As the role of teacher, his way has been extensively the pathway to Enlightenment. And he explains that the most important thing when one starts a spiritual journey is that "you don’t set sail without a compass."

This unique event allowed Dr. Hawkins to answer some deep and interesting questions in an intimate bookstore setting.

The topics include challenges to one's comfort zone; A Course in Miracles; changing employment; sensitivity to negativity; parental vs. personal career choice; consciousness level 700; clinical depression.

Talk #1: In this insightful session, Dr. Hawkins and his wife, Susan discuss the reality of life and its challenges. He stresses the importance of faith and prayer in daily living and how to maintain a spiritual awareness in life. Glamour, greed and human wants are also discussed. In addition, we are given a truth that we can use when life gets to be too much to handle. Dr. Hawkins also addresses the phrase "like goes to like" and the value of acceptance in one's life.

In this exciting lecture, Dr. Hawkins disassembles the ego, explains how it blocks the Truth and in great detail shows us how we can transcend it. “You can only experience that which you resist” is one of the many important lessons he shares with us. He also covers the basic qualities that are important for one to have because they can start the spiritual energy flowing. And the conditions in order to reach an enlightened state are explored. We don't have to become monks or join an ashram. We can be spiritual and alive right where we are!

One of the many important points that Dr. Hawkins stresses in this lecture is that in order to follow his Pathway of Devotional Non-Duality, your devotion to Truth has to be greater than the devotion to the payoff of being right. When this prevails, one is well on the way to Enlightenment. What keeps the ego in place? It is the pleasure it gets from its positionalities. The willingness to surrender the gratification and pleasure of the payoff of the ego's positions is the sacrifice. Dr. Hawkins also informs us that spiritual work is a lot easier that we think!
