Hi all
By folllowing philosophy ,it is impossible to come to firm cocnlusions about anything. Fact is –we are here , not by the “accident” of evolution , but by Divine design. What ever possessed the amoeba to advance to such great heights? It was –and IS –complete the way it is.
How many “levels of awareness” must we achieve ’til we become a ” clear ” , OR before we achieve “nirvahna”?
C.S. Lewis ,in his book “perlandra” suggests that –”no matter how many mountains we scale , or no matter how many “heights” we achieve—we will ALWAYS find that God has been there first.
How many “higher levels” are there Dr.Hawkins? or is there always the UNachievable? I think NOT : therefore ; there MUST always be the “absolute” somewhere

An anonymous query received via email:

"Being a contrarian , does this mean that you never come to any conclusions? In other words , are there NO "absolutes" for you?"

My response: I'm not sure about the link between contrarian and coming to conclusions. I regularly draw conclusions, and just as regularly change them when new information comes along. As for there being no absolutes: I used to believe that there was such a things as absolute truth, until I was challenged by the following quote:

"There's nothing the mind believes that isn't erroneous at a higher level of awareness." - David Hawkins, M.D. Ph.D.

Powerful stuff, and I've certainly experienced this in my life as my own consciousness expands. So, I now believe there is no such things as absolute 'right' or 'wrong'; there is only right or wrong based on the perceptions of the beholder. Ken Wilber explains this far better than I ever could in his Integral Vision.

Hi Michael,

I just wanted to say welcome back. I had been curious as to what wasn’t going on w/ the sites. Sorry for your loss but very excited to have you back. Just one question for you… I myself am a published freelance writer and am wondering if you would be interested in any article queries? Pls contact me at the above referenced email address to provide an answer to my question. For years now, I have been working in a “safe” zone, (entertainment, primarily reality tv), and I would like to get back to my roots re the political arena and the emminent upcoming global change, whatever it proves to be. Since I know you are working with people whose minds are open to new, sometimes scary and risky ideas, I decided to approach you first in this regard. Either way, thanks for your time. I really look forward to your upcoming articles and the resurgence of your sites!!

All My Best,
