113 Quotes by David R. Hawkins

Man thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact, he is governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has no control. Because power is effortless, it goes unseen and unsuspected. Force is experienced through the senses; power can be recognized only through inner awareness.

To that end, people are interested in the survival of the body because they believe that they are the body and, therefore, they need the body to experience their existence.

This leads them to experience themselves as vulnerable because they are insufficient unto themselves.

The joy of God is so exquisite that any sacrifice is worth the effort and seeming pain.

Complete surrender to God unveils the Truth. Nothing is hidden; only the ego is blind. Reality lies just beyond the mind. Out of the fear of becoming nothing, consciousness.

The wonderment of God is so all-encompassing and enormous that it surpasses all possible imagination. To be at last truly and finally home is profound in the totality of its completeness.
