Devotional Nonduality Intensive: Alignment

Dr. Hawkins explains that everything is spontaneously being what it is and that nothing is causing anything. He talks about the pathway of negation and the Void, and goes into detail about karmic inheritance and how it affects our lives. Of great benefit is the information he supplies about relationships and the levels upon which they may exist, including the qualities of horizontal and vertical relationships (i.e., alignment vs. involvement). He goes into detail about the ego, how it loves suffering, loss, hatred, and even grieving, and the "juice" it gets out of that. We learn why it is so difficult to get out of that negativity and addiction to it. He then states that we have only one problem preventing us from reaching enlightenment and talks about the tenacity of the ego and why it is so hard to transcend it.

Dr. Hawkins informs us about guilt, hate, and anxiety and that people hold on to those emotions because of the payoff. He states that there is really only one way out of the hold the ego has on us. He addresses humility, using kinesiology to determine what makes us go "weak" and to avoid it.

At the end of the lecture, he answers questions from the audience regarding challenges that come up on the spiritual path, karmic blockages, the availability of spiritual growth opportunities, suffering to achieve spiritual growth, and kinesiology.
