Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment (Power vs. Force, #5)

by David R. Hawkins

The field itself stands beyond time, space, or any known dimension and instead includes all dimensions, without being altered by them. The infinite field is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and uniquely identifiable as the Absolute by which all expressions of evolution or existence can be compared.

The ego is not overcome by seeing it as an enemy. It is one’s biological inheritance, and without it, nobody would be alive to lament its limitations. By understanding its origin and intrinsic importance to survival, the ego can be seen as being of great benefit but prone to becoming unruly and causing emotional, psychological, and spiritual problems if not resolved or transcended.

From the Unmanifest to the Manifest, the energy of consciousness itself interacted with matter, and as an expression of Divinity, by that interaction life arose.

November 2003, when again, it suddenly jumped from 205 to its current level of 207. At the present time, approximately seventy-eight percent of all humanity calibrates below consciousness level 200, although that figure is only forty-nine percent in America.

The door to Enlightenment is through the deep honesty of unknowingness.

karma merely refers to the fact that the soul is evolutionary in both origin and fate and accountable for its decisions.

Spiritual progress ensues automatically from choosing good will, forgiveness, and lovingness as a way of being in the world at large rather than viewing it as a gain-seeking transaction.

From previous studies, it was learned that everyone is born under optimal conditions for karmic opportunities; therefore, it is wise to judge not, for what appears as misery or catastrophe may be the doorway to liberation for those who have negative karma to undo. Thus, seemingly catastrophic events may be the very essential and necessary elements for the evolution of the soul.

Excessive guilt and remorse are a disguised form of egotism in which the self becomes blown up, exaggerated, and the hero of the tragedy, the negativity of which feeds the ego. Therefore, release from guilt requires surrender of this basic egotism because the ego reenergizes itself through the negativity.

Reluctance to forgive is a consequence not only of unwillingness to let go of the ego juice of perceived injustice but also the illusion that others do not ‘deserve’ it. In reality, it is the forgiver and not the forgiven who benefits the most.

The ego/self is linear and therefore subject to limitation and hindrance. Recognition of this human dilemma can result in choosing spiritual rather than material goals.

The apathetic condition indicates impairment that results in resorting to face-saving excuses. It may also result in hypochondriasis, chronic invalidism, and a self-centered personality that is passive, nonfunctional, and seeks dependent relationships.

The charge of the karmic spiritual body is set by intention, decision, and alignment by intention. It appears to naïve perception that what is not intellectually explicable seems to be ‘accidental’, especially when the event is unpredictable. Inasmuch as the infinite field of consciousness is unlimited in dimension, nothing can happen outside of it. All that occurs within it is under its influence, and therefore, nothing ‘accidental’ is possible in Reality.
