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.
