The Wisdom of Dr. David R. Hawkins Quotes

“See, there’s chocolate and vanilla. You can like chocolate without hating vanilla. You don’t have to hate vanilla, you can just choose chocolate. You can be conservative and not hate the liberals because they’re all vanilla. They can be vanilla liberals. And they don’t have to hate conservatives because they’re chocolate. They can just like vanilla, and say to themselves, I don’t know how you digest that chocolate, but that’s your problem, you know? One chocolate guy says, “Vanilla is for wimps. If you like vanilla, you like vanilla. But us guys, we like chocolate.” You can champion your cause. You can tell others that we’re the greatest, and tattoo yourself, and make parades, and all that. But you don’t have to get into hate.”

“And I mean everything. This is because at the last moment before that ultimate experience reveals itself (or condition takes over, rather), you will be asked to surrender your life.”
