Great stuff Scott - someone recommended me Transcending the Levels of Consciousness mid last year and things have been interesting since then to say the least. I had no idea so many others were writing about this, let alone there being a whole community around it!
I test on myself and it appears to work well. All I can say is that it feels good, and I've been surprised by the results on numerous occasions - it feels like my body is the vessel for facilitation, and I'm witnessing the show in a third person (if that makes sense).
One thing I haven't wrapped my head around yet - what happens if two people test/calibrate the same thing? I wonder if those results should be at least similar. Then I wonder what it'd mean if there's a large delta between the two results.
Is it an absolute truth, or is it a truth/reading that is merely relative to (and therefore limited by) that person's subjective reality and corresponding worldview?
As someone who is new to Hawkin's work, and one who is in pursuit of Truth. One thing I have found to be extremely useful is what Christ said "by their fruits you shall know them". While so far I have found what David Hawkin's said to align with my life's experience, I find it incongruent that his work would be kept from being shared freely, as Hawkin's own words in his book "I", regarding secret societies: "truth does not hide, as it has nothing to hide" (paraphrase I have forgotten the original quote). So I guess I am taking Susan's actions into consideration and contemplating her (or veritas' publishing) motives... I do understand her actions are not David's but I wonder why he would not have made his work in the public domain, or at least stipulated that it be shared freely as long as it's shared intact? This is not meant as a judgement, but a sincere consideration as I put the pieces together.
I wrote these pieces to share David's work because I think he is an amazing teacher that I want more people to know about. I don't know why she is not comfortable with it, but I want to respect her wishes. We can never know the full backstory why someone feels the way they do and have found it best just to leave it be
We can never know the backstory, sure… but this kind of action does not suggest that Veritas Publishing is mastering their energy very well: “cease and desist” actions are “survival paradigm” AT BEST.
You're absolutely right, and maybe it would've been better had I not said anything either, regardless I find David's work fascinating! As for your own work Scott I can't thank you enough, some of your words are so resonant to my own journey and current understanding, you're most certainly further along the path than I, and it's nice to have some glimpes into what might be ahead.
I wonder...have you made a post already regarding anything relating to sexual desire?...more specifically masturbation and it's effects? My question to you would be, does the desire decrease naturally as you advance further? Is supression of sexual activity recommended by you, or others you know on this journey? Or is it not of concern?
I have noticed a direction correlation with my state of being and my need for sexual release, in other words, the closer I feel to God and have my heart open, the less I seem to desire masturbation. I have a few ideas as to why this occurs and some experiences I could share but I would be curious to know your experiences or ideas regarding this. However I also understand if it's not something you want to share publicly :)
Keep up the incredible work, it really is appreciated.
I'm glad this was helpful and appreciate your kind words : )
There's all kinds of people that will tell you different things on sexuality. There was awhile I was subscribing to Mantak Chia's work and doing semen retention. And then obviously some times that I was not.
I think where I net out is where Eckhart Tolle does. These things are a part of the experience, but not to be held on to with such attachment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G5u_lcJMUg
Sex also has a lot to do with context. Is it a loving act of communion with someone or a very mechanical experience that is performative and oriented around getting each other off. They're both sex, yet the texture and intent is totally different.
Re: desire it seems like the intensity of the spiritual period I'm in does often put more energy towards that than things like sexual desire. I wouldn't judge it and just allow it to be what it is. Ebs and flows

I've bought and read Doc's books and thoroughly enjoyed the lectures. I'm very grateful for his teachings and your arm.
In truth all events are neutral so let's enjoy the fun and irony that your comment calibrated at 120
