Didn't he told his enlightenment story in his book? I thought this was common knowledge. 

I like him, he is on point with his letting go teaching.

David Hawkins is a GOAT. I recently bought 2 of his books at once, he's very easy to read and it all just flows. 

 


Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

He was enlightened, but he also had some silly ideas like his praising of Ben Shapiro and right-wing American Exceptionalism. :S

So what silly ideas does Leo Gura have? :ph34r:

He talks about it in one of his books. Can't recall which one. Perhaps the one about Truth vs Falsehood.

He incorrectly ranks post-modernism as less developed and less conscious than Ben Shapiro's brand of conservatism. Which is just embarrassing.

@Psychventure healed it through letting go of the idea he had bad eye sight and all stories around it

His muscle-testing is the problem. He uses to validate his own biases.

The errors I pointed out are connected to his muscle-testing technique. It's very epistemically problematic.

David would be writhing in his grave if he saw the state of conservatives today. His politics just shows ignorance or lack of knowledge. His lack of understanding causes him to project partial perspectives as a full picture.

He sees postmodernists and leftists, sees their ego as narcissistic. But all egos are narcissistic and self important. Then he selectively uses the domain of the absolute to invalidate one side but not the other. 

His muscle testing is what puts me off the most about him as well. I'm just amazed that someone like him is convinced of such a thing. But I shouldn't be too shocked, not all people and teachers are the same. He shows you a path of illumination regardless. 

I didn't buy his maps of consciousness book because I was apprehensive about this numerical model of his, but it is nonetheless referenced every few paragraphs in any book of his. I don't hate the model though, it's cool. I can't figure out how on earth I could validate such a thing. The exact sequences of things, the labels he gives. 

The only way the model could make sense is if your consciousness is distributed across multiple levels/numbers at once. But if ones psyche is that complex, then it will present itself in a confusing way, such that discerning whether the model holds or not practically unviable. 

^The same criticism can be levied against spiral dynamics, and the resolution to that applies here I guess. But to me personally this particular model is harder to see or grasp.
