Hawkins is so bright I wouldn't be surprised if he got himself in a bind on certain issues, but then I don't know what he experienced.


Hi Lucy: If you are interested you might want to read the biography of Ramakrishna... there is a great description of his 'self-realization' experience, unfortunately I can't direct you to the exact location of his descrption of the event... but, it is a good read. tho it is a huge book.

p.s.: this is probably what happens:

Only saw the movie, but the guy in "A Beautiful Mind" lives something extraordinary. If we do choose our lives, I do wonder what his take-home prize is, what he gains from the struggle. I think these stories are connected because you have two powerful intellects here.



Hi Lucy: John Nash (A Beautiful Mind) is a perfect example of what Robert Bruce warns against… developing the high chakral centers without a thorough grounding in the lower ones… of course he had no way of knowing this… when you do a Monroe seminar on Thursday they do a period of silence and communion with the earth… going around hugging trees and touch natural things…

But that's the problem. The intellect can't wrap itself around this question (of existence) completely. It can't be interpreted, it can only be experienced. The intellect always seems to be a subset of the whole, something it doesn't like. Maybe that's what a real ego trip is, not being able to acknowledge that the part, no matter how brilliant or clever or profound, is not the whole.

Though I imagine one could at least point out the path to how one got there (to experience the whole). Does Hawkins book do that?



Hi Lucy: ‘The Eye of the I” is his opus magnum… this is the whole story the detail is significant… because he was a very well educated individual before transcendence he had the tools to explain exactly what happened coherently… most of the transcendents are writing in the Hindu language which doesn’t translate well or they had limited educational tools to be intellectually clear.

This is a definitive explanation of the phenomena.

The reason this state is so unknown lies in the fact that statistically only 1 in 10,000,000 human beings achieve the state. When the state is achieved it is so profound the tendency is to withdraw from the world, so no footprint is left behind.   

The current population of the planet is +/- 6,812,200,000 which means that at this instant there are 6812 Transcended beings living on the planet. …




An interesting sidebar is that America with a population of +/-300,000,000 if that statistic holds up we should have at least 30 living transcendent beings in our midsts...

I know that Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of them and I think Helen Keller made the cut... but they are deceased.

Oddly enough Bruce Moen went through the aperture...he did it with the help of Monroe... can he do it at will I wonder....???!!!

I’ve been doing a bit of research on the accusation of ‘cult leader’ against David Hawkins… it seems to be based on a very spurious idea that because of his use of ‘muscle testing’ as a basis for determining truth and ‘muscle testing’ is not a ‘mainstream’ scientificly accepted procedure (peer reviewed) that makes him a cult leader… so if he could actually prove eventually scientifically that it IS a viable method of testing truth then over night he is no longer a cult leader… even tho, he was and is brutally attacked from self appointed arbiters of cultistness.

This loose criteria for labeling teachers cult leaders makes Robert Monroe, Bruce Moen etc… cult leaders. It also makes people who believe in channelers, talking to spirit guides (Jesus in particular) and the like cult followers… because mainstream peer accredited science believes all of the above to be figments of peoples imaginations, dreams, schizophrenia and the like but with no basis in the mainstream accredited peer reviewed science.

But if you tighten up the definition of cult leaders to those who rope people into their web and force them to stay against their will and bilk them of treasure or virtue then you change the whole dynamic of what cultism is and is probably a better measure of the pernicious and criminal.

How could anyone know the facts about this?

We don't have measurable criteria for "self-realized".

You'd have to have a meta-system for measuring....

Precisely the point. All we do have is beings who 'say' they achieve it and come back to talk about it... the one who has the most credibility over the centuries is 'The Buddha'.,. his work seems to remained in tack in the fundamentals for several thousand years... but there are a lot of others... but, it becomes a matter of faith.

There is Curiosity's Father... and the like...

The good news is ... you!! can achieve it.

Hi All: I have no idea why I bought Bob Monroe’s biography ‘Catapult’ but there is something instructive in there that fits and for me clarifies David Hawkin’s blunderbust and the self destructive opening he created for great criticism of himself and his work.

The premise upon which he has built his muscle testing theory (and he did get inspired by John Diamond’s ’Applied Kineisology’ system) is that the body is a creation of God and therefore has an absolute connection to the truth and actually can be used in a ’non-verbal’ communication to signal truth and falsehood… by going rigid in strength to suggest truth and weak when suggesting falsehood… (and the word suggest may be closer to the reality of it… I.e… it is a suggestion as a clue to further investigate… not an absolute trigger)…

I have a personal known in connection with the musculature of the body… in one of my meditative session I had a complete past incarnation runout in a particular muscle group… I realized in that moment that we are the totality of all our past.

Bob Monroe in the early days owed a lot to biofeedback… but he didn’t try to ride that bandwagon… he carefully behind closed doors built his Hemi-sync model into a unique and independent system with the help of a lot of very astute volunteer genius’ among them Tom Campbell.

Hawkins seems to have simply jumped into the water tying himself to AK (which it isn’t) and very publicly making all the mistakes in full view of the public and especially to the glee of the army of knee jerk debunkers cruising like sharks in that treacherous ocean… first he has to revamp and justify by saying that the framing of the question is paramount… then, the operators had to be 200 or above…. I.e… have that level of integrity to get accurate answers… all of this should have been solved in the privacy of a lab and what finally got presented to the public was a solid well researched and tested system… a fait accompli...!!!

So do we have a charlatan or someone who is just naïve, stupid and incompetent.

It will take a well funded and dedicated research group to repair the damage and discredit of an ’idea’ which may have a profound basis in truth and could be a viable system of prediction in the right hands.

Seraphis1,
"especially to the glee of the army of knee jerk debunkers cruising like sharks in that treacherous ocean…"

Was a poet and did know it? Jerking the knee does sound like a waste of time, but slapping the knee has occasionally proven worthwhile, accompanied by laughter, or it looks kind of silly.

"Whatcha doing?"
"Oh, just slapping the old knee a few times, but can't bother laughing."
"Ah, ok. Thought you were having a knee jerk response, like a shark in a glee army of treacherous debunkers, cruising the, you know.. poetic waters, or whatever."

Out there? Yeah, that's it. What goes around comes around, or what around comes, goes around too.

"It will take a well funded and dedicated research group to repair the damage and discredit of an ’idea’ which may have a profound basis in truth and could be a viable system of prediction in the right hands."

Don't know about a funded and dedicated research. But that there are those who are and will be attracted to his words nonetheless I figure isn't a bad guess.

  I find it interesting that when Bob Monroe asked his I/There aka the guidance level part of himself, if he could meet the most mature person living in his time-space reference, he was led to a person who was some 1800 years or so "old" (but looked to be somewhere from the age of 30 to 50), occidental in origin, and apparently already known about in some way. 

  The really interesting part is the "not recycled" like the rest of us part wherein this person was living one super long continuous in physical lifetime, and also btw doesn't need to sleep or eat at all "Oh, i gave those up years ago."  (also the perfectly balanced/merged between masculine and feminine is interesting too, hence the name label of "He/She").

  If Bob's account is more true than not, and my intuition and guidance tells me that it is, then I suspect if there is such a thing as "enlightenment", full self or God realization, etc...

...then such a person as "He/She" would truly be an example of that. 

    Along with Bob's account, i also find it interesting that there are some references in Cayce's work and in Rosiland McKnight's work stating that dying happens from living in an illusionary manner and there are some hints that if a person dispensed with all illusion and purely lived that which is reality then a person would experience neither aging nor death.

  More so interesting is the info in the Cayce work that states that Yeshua while he let himself die temporarily (for 3 days), did recreate or resurrect a body of sorts, one that could interact with others and perceive in a physical like manner. 

  Rosiland's guidance makes statements like that even before the crucifixion that Yeshua was so spiritually intune, he could fully phase into his "spiritual body", and thus was the reason of why he was known to have disappeared in crowds.  In other words, he had full control over all physical energies and reactions. 

   So i tend to remain a bit skeptical of people and sources telling me that this or that person was enlightened or fully realized when the fact that they have died and/or are aging etc. contradicts some very good sources of nonphysical type info. 

I find it quite interesting and telling that almost all of the people that have claimed enlightenment for themselves have either died or continue to age, get sick, and have basic material needs like any other person--like the need to eat, sleep, etc. 

  But as you may happen be able to tell, i'm not at all skeptical of the reality of enlightenment, and i believe it's a process and capacity open to all.

  But I don't think it's well understood and i think there are very, very, very few humans within our historical reference who have completed the full enlightenment.  Chances are, if a person died and stayed dead, then they didn't realize complete enlightenment like a He/She or a Yeshua.

I think you are using a 'mundane' benchmark or arbitor of evaluation. I think what happens is a self-realize being merges the individual fundamental energy body (personal ego) into the Oneness... most of the available information suggest that the physical body remains available but is not longer necessary and it is either left to run its cycle (see the Maharisi Ramana material - he laid his body down in a cave with no intention to revive it... local people came and nursed it and kept it alive... he seems to have decide to teach thru it... the literature says the 'self-realized' being does not reenter the body generally but operates it from a distance... ). these are personal decisions... and not subject to what we think should happen... in the case of The Facilitor is you recall he regard the physical plane a personal challenge... and that is why he decide to stick around and be helpful... what is instructive in Monroe's story is that he remembered him from one of the glider flying fields and the facilitator replied yes I was out for some entertainment... but, was he really keeping an eye on Monroe...???

That's an interesting criterion for enlightenment, not needing the body but still able to function here.

So are the "people" in Monroe's future possible world who store their bodies in bags to protect them from viruses and work to restore Earth to its original glory, all "enlightened"? Well that is something to look forward to!

Yes "enlightened" is used to mean more than one thing, I suppose. But it is a concept sort of new to this part of the world. I suppose one starts with a generic sort fo meaning and then refines it.

Sort of the way my kid learned language. First "car", (his first word) meant anything with a motor/engine or that rolled. Helicopter, bicycle, chain saw, lawn mower, bus, truck, automobile. Refinement came in time.

So for instance maybe Tolle isn't enlightened by the doesn't-need-body criterion, but he still has been changed. Is he at least a bicycle (while most people walk)?

Ram Das spoke of there being an ancient teacher walking in the ...hills?..wherever it was he went in India. Certainly there is a tradition for this sort of thing there.

Yeah the story Monroe told of that being who just hung around was fascinating.

But in  tape Monroe did later (Wednesday with Bob) he stressed the part about doing retrievals to get all of a disc's fragnmented parts back into the fold, so to speak, so the disc wouldn't have to be stuck here.

Those seem like two different directions to me.
So do I want to be enlightened, or do I want to be totally recovered? or is it the same?

Yes it is confusing... for example the Renaisance was considered the age of enlightenment... because people decided to use reason, experimentation to determine truth...

But enlightenment in the ultimate sense of 'self-realization' is a real experience just like this:

  Possibly, but i really doubt and for a couple of reasons. 

One, while not much is known about the specific history and beginnings of the above person, it is generally agreed upon by various researchers that this person was born sometime in the 1700's and even some of these researchers believe that this person did become an immortal. 

   Re: the so called claims that this person was 2000 years old, it is also well agreed upon by biographers that this came about because there was a well known mime, comedian type who loved to imitate St. Germaine and would dress up as him, pretend to be him, and make even more outlandish claims than Germaine himself. 

  One such claim was that Germaine was there during the time of Christ and advised Yeshua.  This spoof on part of the mime/comedian eventually became associated with the real St. Germaine and his supposed past. 

  I am open minded to the possibility or even probability that St. Germaine did at least very much slow down their aging process via spiritual attunement etc., or perhaps even became completely "enLightened", but I am highly skeptical that this person is now 2000 or so years old. 

  Another thing that doesn't fit.  Monroe while he seemed to at first have a hard time getting more exact and specific data on this mysterious He/She person, he did perceive that this person's hair color was basically a light brown predominantly. 

  St. Germaine, from memoirs of those who knew and met him, was described as having very dark, pretty much jet black hair color. 

  So unless he dyes his hair, probably not the same guy.   Wink


   Why not ask your guidance, under the ideal circumstances, who this mysterious He/She person really is? 

I've asked mine and am fairly sure of the answer though Bob's lack of specificity and detail at first, made me doubt the answer for a little while.  For example, the 1800 years old comment was one such overly generalized and not fully accurate description which acted as bit of a "curveball". 

  If you do a meditation on this, i would be curious as to the answer you got and see if it matches what i got.
