The scale is a practical tool to keep our focus on the states of nmind that make us feel GOOD ((GOD)).

Hawkins states that he has reached a highly advanced state of awareness nby Divine grace and via decisive life experiences. In his works nhe approaches the study and practice of spirituality by means of nhis personal experience and his clinical and academic background.
The stated objectives of Hawkins' research and teaching are to facilitate nmetaphysical understanding and to confirm the reality of spiritual truth nin the individual as well as society, focusing on subtle contextual naspects of consciousness and the road to enlightenment.

Life overview and professional stages

Born in Milwaukee on June 3, 1927, David Ramon Hawkins is the son nof Ramon Nelson and Alice-Mary (McCutcheon) Hawkins. He grew up in rural
Wisconsin. At the age of 12 years as a paperboy, in winter, he had na near-death experience (NDE). Serving in the U.S. Navy from 1945-1946 nduring World War II, he was aboard a minesweeper betwee
June and August nbefore Japan surrendered. After the war he earned a B.S. in pre-med nfrom Marquette University (1950) and received a medical degree (M.D) nfrom the Medical College of Wisconsin (1953). Hawkins underwent five nyears of his own Freudian psychoanalysis in New York while he trained nto be a psychiatrist to take up his profession in 1953, leading to nthe American Psychiatric Association 50-Year Distinguished Life
Fellows honor (May, 2004).

As a seeker and later on researcher of truth all his life, he was left nunsatisfied by the array of information in the volumes of the Great Books nof the Western World. Calling himself a “misfit“, he gravitated towardnunconventional methods privately as well as professionally.

He married Margaret Hawkins, with whom he has one daughter. Due to his nspiritual conversion in January 1965 and the course of subsequent life nchanges they divorced. In 1979 Hawkins gave up his large practice for na seven-year-period of a frugal life in Arizona as a hermit. After 12 nyears of spiritual study and meditation, he relea
ed worldly manners again nto become an “ordinary man."

Susan Humphrey, later his second wife, nentered his life in 1991, being the one, who strongly insisted that nhe publish his findings. Until 1995 he had remained publicly silent nabout his extraordinary spiritual states such as his first memory, na sudden awareness of existence, at the age of 3, his NDE as a youngster, nsensing the “excruciating immensity of the suffering of mankind" at 16, nand his claimed enlightenment at 38 years, which he believes terminated nhis personhood, followed by his unity experience in 1977 in Rothman's
Restaurant in Long Island.

Quotations by David R. Hawkins

On effective change

"We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what nwe have become. Thus, every spiritual aspirant serves the world."
The Eye of the I, p.
69

On the ego/false God

"From the viewpoint of the evolution of consciousness, atheism results nfrom the refusal or inability to let go of the illusion that the nnarcissistic core of the ego is sovereign and is the source of one's nlife and existence." Truth vs. Falsehood, p.
356

On teaching/teachers

"The true [spiritual] teachers can be seen to have no interest in fame nor in having followers, prestige or trappings [...] The teachings and nnot the teacher are what is important. Inasmuch as the teachings do not ncome from the personage of the teacher at all, it does not make sense to nidolize or worship the personage. The information is transmitted as a ngift because it was received as such." The Eye of the I, p.
37

On his enlightenment experience

"There was this miraculous change. .... it is so far reaching and […] nso far beyond ordinary human experience. […] Now everything is transformed. nn[…] And there is absolutely nothing you can say about it. […] Whatever nhad been my individual self was struck dumb with awe. It was awesome nbeyond all meaning of the word to be the witness of the presence nof that which is in its naked expression as all existence. […]

Although the mind has stopped one is at one with all that is nknown. There is, in the instant, the experience with those attributes nof God described as omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence.

The power is infinite. The knowingness is also infinite. All things nare known. It doesn't mean that all things are denoted by the intellect, nbecause one would have to have an interest in such things. It is like nin the presence of omniscience that all things are knowable, therefore none doesn't bother knowing about the specific."
