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.

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! 

A four-hour workshop presented at the First International Conference on Consciousness and Addiction with Dr. Willis Harman (President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences).“Where the world goes wrong in attempting to help addicts is by offering a 200-level solution for a 600-level experience. A 600-level energy problem requires a 600-level energy answer.”With chalk in hand, a young Dr. Hawkins explains that a person is addicted to the re-experiencing of a certain high-energy field. He walks us through the steps of AA and his own personal experience with alcohol.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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!

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.

Dr. Hawkins opens this lecture by describing his intense drive to know the core of Truth and what it took to reach Enlightenment. He speaks to us from subjective awareness that the reality of the Presence within is the absolute silence. If you can get beyond the illusion of causality, you can jump into the 500s, where you see that everything is happening as a consequence of the totality, of the Infinite Power of the Field, and that nothing is causing anything. Our belief that there is a personal "I" that is the cause of everything is the major block to realizing the Self. 

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 the “On The Road” lecture series, Dr. Hawkins gives unique lectures on the nature of consciousness, the spiritual path, and how best to facilitate one’s spiritual advancement in this lifetime. Each lecture provides priceless instruction and information to assist anyone in their life’s journey.
