Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A selection of Dr David Hawkins' teachings, chosen by various editors, to help readers understand the ego and apply daily teachings to find the ultimate Truth.

Learn to let go of the illusions of the ego and discover the real you with this collection of inspiring quotes on the ego, mind, and spiritual enlightenment from human-consciousness expert Dr. David R. Hawkins.

Are you willing to let go of seeing yourself as the ego believes you to be? Are you willing to go further, to know that the ego itself is an illusion?

In this book, select teachings from Dr. David R. Hawkins's extensive body of work will guide you in the process of realization, surrender, and transformation. When we let go of the old ways of thinking, our attachments, and the false promises of the ego, we discover the truth that we are one with All.

Features classic passages, including:

  • It is not really necessary to subdue the ego, but merely to stop identifying with it.
  • Every life experience, no matter how "tragic," contains a hidden lesson. When we discover and acknowledge the hidden gift that is there, a healing takes place.
  • Enlightenment is not a condition to be obtained; it is merely a certainty to be surrendered to, for the Self is already one's Reality. It is the Self that is attracting one to spiritual information.
  • To be enlightened merely means that consciousness has realized its most inner, innate quality as nonlinear subjectivity and its capacity for awareness.
  • The only energy that has more power than the strength of the collective ego is that of Spiritual Truth.

The Ego is Not the Real You is small in size, but it can have a massive impact on your life. It will take you through the process of a total transformation of consciousnessโ€”if you choose to apply its teachings deeply within yourself." - From the Introduction by Fran Grace, Ph.D.
