Topic: Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D

Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D is a nationally renowned
psychiatrist, physician, researcher, and lecturer. He co-authored
Orthomolecular Psychiatry with Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling
that helped revolutionize psychiatry. His national television
appearances include The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour, The
Barbara

Walters Show, and The Today Show. Winner of the Huxley

Award, knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Hospitaliers of
St. John of Jerusalem, nominated for the Templeton Prize and
honored in the East with the title “Tae Ryoung Sun Kak
Tosa” (Foremost Teacher of the Way to Enlightenment), Dr.
Hawkins’ honors are vast. His background is detailed in Who’s
Who in America and Who’s Who in the World and his work has
been acclaimed by many world leaders and Nobelists, including
Mother Teresa.

Dr. Hawkins has lectured at the University of Argentina; Notre

Dame, Stanford, and Harvard Universities; Westminster Abbey,
and the Oxford Forum. In addition, he has been an advisor to
Catholic, Protestant, and Buddhist monasteries. He has conferred
with foreign governments on international diplomacy and has
been instrumental in resolving long-standing conflicts that were
major threats to world peace.

He is the author of the best-selling trilogy, “Power vs.

Force” (Published in 17 languages), “The Eye of the I,” and “I:
Dr. Hawkins is an internationally known spiritual teacher,
author, and speaker on the subject of advanced spiritual states,
consciousness research, and the Realization of the Presence of
God as Self.

His published works, as well as recorded lectures, have been

widely recognized as unique in that a very advanced state of
spiritual awareness occurred in an individual with a scientific and
clinical background who was later able to verbalize and explain
the unusual phenomenon in a manner that is clear and
comprehensible.

The transition from the normal ego state of mind to its

elimination by the Presence is described in the trilogy Power
versus Force (1995) which won praise even from Mother
Theresa, The Eye of the I (2001), and I: Reality and Subjectivity
(2003), which have been translated and are available worldwide
in foreign editions. Reviews (such as those on the Internet at
amazon.com) have awarded the works with five stars.

The trilogy was preceded by research on the Nature of

Consciousness and published as the doctoral dissertation,
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibration of the
Levels of Consciousness (1995), which correlated the seemingly
disparate domains of science and spirituality. This was
accomplished by the major discovery of a technique that, for the
first time in human history, demonstrated a means to discern
truth from falsehood.

The importance of the initial work was given recognition by its

very favorable and extensive review in Brain/Mind Bulletin and
at later presentations such as the International Conference on
Science and Consciousness. Many presentations were given to a
variety of organizations, spiritual conferences, church groups,
nuns, and monks, both nationally and in foreign countries,
including the Oxford Forum. In the Far East, Dr. Hawkins is a
recognized “Teacher of the Way to Enlightenment.” (Tae
Ryoung Sun Kak Dosa”)

In response to his observation that much spiritual truth has been

misunderstood over the ages due to lack of explanation, Dr.
Hawkins presented monthly seminars provided detailed
explanations that are too lengthy to describe in book format.
Recordings are available, along with questions and answers that
provide additional clarification.

The overall design of this lifetime work is to recontextualize the

human experience in terms of the evolution of consciousness and
