About the Author

Another masterpiece by Dr. David Hawkins, the master of 『Revolution of Consciousness』
"Enlightenment is not an experience, it is a permanent state!"

Clearly penetrating the core of the theory of levels of consciousness,
The most detailed and subjective report to discover the truth of life.
『My Eyes』, considered one of Dr. David Hawkins' early trilogy along with 『The Revolution of Consciousness』 and 『Homo Spiritus』, has been published by Panmidong.

This book provides an essential and fundamental foundation for understanding human consciousness and kinesiology, which are the core of Dr. Hawkins' theory.
It also serves as a tool for carefully examining our inner selves, including our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and habits, and clarifying the foolish and ambiguous, and as a guide that kindly explains what enlightenment is and what we can do to move toward a state of enlightenment.

This book is divided into three parts: Part 1, which describes spiritual knowledge and subjective states; Part 2, which explains how to reach the spiritual path; Part 3, which explores the realm of enlightenment through understanding the nature of consciousness; and Part 4, which consists of conversations with various spiritual seekers and groups around the world. This book is filled with records of Dr. Hawkins' ultimate experience of the 'presence of God' that he has experienced throughout his life.

Through this book, readers will not only be able to naturally understand the somewhat difficult part of Dr. Hawkins' theory, which is 'transcendence of the polarities of duality and non-duality', but will also be able to clearly resolve the long-standing problems in the spiritual realm, such as science and religion, materialism and spirituality, and ego and spirit.
Ultimately, you will discover the right path to enlightenment by expanding your consciousness and encountering the self-evident truth of life.


Everything is Perfect - Dr. Hawkins' Spiritual Experience
The book begins by describing a state of enlightenment that Dr. Hawkins himself experienced.
The author, who wrote this book to fully share with people around the world the fruits of his seclusion and practice toward higher levels of consciousness following an intense spiritual experience in his childhood, explains that the mystical things he experienced are universal and can happen to anyone, and that a life filled with suffering can suddenly become peaceful and truly powerful because everything is perfect as it is.
It is also said that even the physical body can heal itself by creating positive energy through the power of healing and dominating the physical senses.
Dr. Hawkins's experience will teach us how to transcend the self-limiting limitations of time, the continuous processes or structures of the mind, and bring silence and stillness.

The feeling of completeness overwhelms the physical sensations.
Desires and expectations disappear, and pleasure arises from the act itself.
Because the experience of time has stopped, there is no experience of a succession of events to look forward to or regret.
Every moment is complete and perfect within itself.
There is nothing to look forward to, nothing to try to control or regulate, because the state of mere existence replaces all senses of past, present and future.
This is an essential part of a state of profound peace, tranquility and profoundness.
When the sense of time disappears, all desires and needs also disappear.
Presence, accompanied by infinite silence, replaces all mental and emotional activity.
The body becomes self-replicating, just another property of nature that acts in response to the flow of various conditions.
There is nothing that moves and acts independently, separate from the entire universe.
All things live and move in absolute harmony, and exist in absolute perfection, beauty and harmony of all that is.

Beware of Faith - The Importance of Proper Spiritual Inquiry
Dr. Hawkins warns against the pitfalls and errors inherent in spiritual leaders and spiritual writings, and argues that the same holds true for religion.
The doctor explains religion as the source of spiritual error in two ways: first, a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the original teachings of the great masters; second, and a more serious distortion, the illusion of religious teachings derived from what is commonly called 'doctrine'.
The spread of religious doctrines in this way has laid the foundation for fierce wars and persecution, and is contributing to the downfall not only of religion itself but of all humanity.
In "My Eyes," we present ways to properly choose and believe in spiritual teachers and teachings to avoid falling into these religious traps.
The author argues that the most important of these is our mind itself.
Dr. Hawkins's simple teachings that we must realize, through self-reflection and inner contemplation, that every state of consciousness is the result of the exercise of choice, are an extremely accurate guide to life for us living in a communal society.

Choose to treat all living beings, including yourself, as expressions of life itself, with gentleness, kindness, warmth, generosity, and unconditional love, without exception.
Serve, love, respect, and honor all living beings selflessly. Avoid negative attitudes, desires for worldly things, and attachment to pleasure and possessions. Avoid self-righteousness, do not express opinions, do not argue about right and wrong, and do not fall into the trap of vanity and righteousness.
Instead of criticizing, try to understand.
Trust in the divine love, mercy, infinite wisdom, and compassion that sees through all human errors, limitations, and weaknesses.

What I believe I am is not me - Overcoming the Ego and Dismantling the Ego
The 'normal' state of true consciousness, as Dr. Hawkins puts it, is one where joy and love fill the space, free from all negative elements.
The only thing we have to do is let go of identifying the ego with our true self.
Nothing is more important in the process of enlightenment than letting go of the stubborn and persistent ego.
In this book, the author explains the meaning and method of noticing the flow of the mind we take for granted, realizing its true nature, and silencing and transcending the mind.
It examines the practical ways of spiritual work beyond ego, mind, positionality, and causality, and presents a straight path toward enhanced knowing through spontaneity, meditation, forgiveness, and understanding.
It also provides step-by-step explanations of questions that arise during the course of spiritual exploration, such as what daily life is like, what is the utility of prayer, and what a miracle is, and provides teachings on what one should have and what one should avoid.

This very moment is all that exists.
Our own consciousness as the true self is the only eye that enables us to experience and know what is.
Our internal, subjective sense of reality is given by the Self to us from the 'external' environment, and this makes that external environment appear to be true.
Therefore, the feeling of reality is a projection of consciousness by the ego, originating from the true self.
So we are not seeing the 'real' world.
The source of things that appear real is actually ourselves.

It Couldn't Get Any Easier - A Q&A on Enlightenment
In our spiritual quest, we encounter questions both big and small.
Part 4 of this book consists of Dr. Hawkins' answers to such questions.
Dr. Hawkins offers thoughtful answers to a wide range of questions that anyone with even the slightest interest in spirituality or enlightenment is likely to have: whether there is a shortcut to enlightenment, learning, death, karma, meditation, religion, creationism and evolution, and opinions about the Self, God, and the wise.

Q: What are some practical things we can do to help the world?
Answer: Give your life as a gift.
Please lift the hearts of all humanity by being warm, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate to yourself and to everyone, anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances.
That is the greatest gift we can give.
