Publisher's summary

In this important seminar, Dr. Hawkins covers in depth the various characteristics that differentiate spiritual integrity. He also explores a list of integral teachers and how we can recognize a true teaching from a false one. He explains how the human mind is unable to discern truth from falsehood. In addition, Dr. Hawkins reveals how the personal self is re-born every instant and how this is our way out, our opportunity to become enlightened. All this and so much more!

Characteristics of Truth Teachers and Teachings

In this great presentation, the Doc lists 38 characteristics/identifiers of true teachers. This is a great breakdown that allows one to intuit the non-integrous pride, vanity, glamor, money, power driven teachers, as compared to the one's operating to share truth and love. 144 teachers are also commented on with some of the highest in the last 100 years being: Ramana Maharshi, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nisargadatta Maharaj. Others from previous era's include Dogen, Bodhidharma, Meister Eckhart, Patanjali, and Huang Po. Of course the Big Three Masters: Jesus the Christ, Buddha, and Krishna are of the highest calibrations: the Bible, the Dhamapada, and the Bhagavad Gita refer to their teachings directly.

The Q&A for this presentation is great dealing with questions about different teachings, practices, and positionalities/contextualizations. One of the main practices is to recognize the witness-observer of all thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations-perceptions and then realize that the impersonal witness-observer is given Light (a knowing space) by Awareness-Consciousness. Once this Light of Awareness is recognized/realized within one's own being (ie Being Aware of Being Aware), one is EnLightened - in self-realization of the Light that Lights up your own knowingness of thoughts, feelings emotions, sensations-perceptions. The ☀️Light of All Lights🔥: then the comedy, humor, theater, play of life takes on new contextual Joy, Delight, Celebration as one is beeing that light Presence Presenting Their Presents of Beeing. HalleluJah ❤️ Happenings of Happiness. As Hawkins states at the end, everyday one discovers new joys like being in Kindergarten. Amen. Om's On 1Wonderful Flow~
