This set includes three talks given by Dr. Hawkins, on Stress, Health, and Spiritual First Aid. Stress results from our point of view, from what we hold in mind, as well as from our attitudes and beliefs. The source of stress is within ourselves and not out in the world. There is no escaping stress in the world, for it is self-created. Relief occurs from understanding its true cause. What is exhilarating to one person is debilitating to another. Dr. Hawkins describes methods of precluding stress rather than trying to alleviate its aftermath.

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."

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.

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 question-and-answer session from the “On The Road” talk series, Dr. Hawkins provides powerful teachings on the key to the advancement of consciousness: intention.

In this question-and-answer session from the “On The Road” talk series, Dr. Hawkins illustrates the highest spiritual truth in easily understandable terms.

Dr. Hawkins recites the 91st Psalm, which was one of his favorite biblical passages that he focused on intensely during his own journey. The Psalm describes how when one devotes one’s life to God, God will always take care of you through any challenge that may arise. A valuable tool for all to navigate human 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!

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.

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!

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 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.
