The Path to Spiritual Advancement: How to Transcend the Ego and Experience the Presence of God

From the best-selling author and pioneer in the field of consciousness research, David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., comes the first in a series of six books on finding the way to God.

Dr. David R. Hawkins always wanted to add further detail to his best-selling book, Power vs. Force, a book that opened the door to so many new truths, enlightening information, and exciting questions. People asked for more, and Dr. Hawkins realized that consciousness itself continued to grow and evolve. As a spiritual teacher, dedicated to the highest Truth, to God, and to his love for mankind, he decided to create the lecture presentations these books are based on.

His lighthearted spirit, wonderful sense of humor, and real-life stories are evident in this book. In it, the core of Dr. Hawkins' body of work that he later called, "The Pathway of Devotional Non-Duality" is delivered in full.

This volume consists of Dr. Hawkins's finest work from January and February 2002. As you read, you will learn about:

• the Map of Consciousness(R) chart, from 0-1000, and how it came to be
• the illusion of causality--the great block to spiritual advancement
• transcending the ego through understanding it and re-contextualizing it
• the role of karma in your life
• how you can move up the levels of consciousness through spiritual intention and choice
• radical subjectivity--the essence of the experiencing the Presence of God as "I"
• the purpose of Dr. Hawkins's work--to realize the Presence of God

These are just some of the many topics Dr. Hawkins covers in this inspiring and supportive book.
