He reveals the step that switches us from the left brain to the right brain.

A legal and political thriller ripped from today’s headlines. Michael MacDougall volunteers for a medical aid charity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Traumatized by his experiences in Africa, he goes down a path that he never would have imagined possible, resulting in a global manhunt and a riveting trial.

In this question-and-answer session from the “On The Road” talk series, Dr. Hawkins illustrates the highest spiritual truth in easily understandable terms.

In the ultimate reality, there is no past, there is no future. Dr. Hawkins explains how to remain on the crest of the moment, where foreverness replaces the perception of all time dimensions and you can be free of the guilt of the past and the anticipation of the future.

In this comprehensive lecture, Dr. Hawkins explores a diverse range of topics, such as the importance of a true teacher, your commitment to spiritual integrity and the power of the field. If you have ever felt that you are alone in your spiritual quest, he also emphasizes that once you have aligned yourself with the spiritual energies, you don't walk alone. You walk along with all who support your intention and have gone there before you. Pearls of wisdom throughout this talk will lay the groundwork for your spiritual intention.

Dr. Hawkins opens this lecture by describing his intense drive to know the core of Truth and what it took to reach Enlightenment. He speaks to us from subjective awareness that the reality of the Presence within is the absolute silence. If you can get beyond the illusion of causality, you can jump into the 500s, where you see that everything is happening as a consequence of the totality, of the Infinite Power of the Field, and that nothing is causing anything. Our belief that there is a personal "I" that is the cause of everything is the major block to realizing the Self.
