Book Reviews of The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing Is Hidden
Book Review: The most powerful book on Consciousness I've ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars
David R. Hawkins is often associated with his use of applied kinesiology, which is a form of kinesiology that is often criticized by modern intellectuals and scientists. This is unfortunate, because the fundamental nature of his work is that of research on the true nature of Consciousness, along with how Consciousness expresses itself in all aspects of life and reality.
It is even more unfortunate because aside from his research, Hawkins is one of the first American Sages, which is to say he is a human being that is the embodiment of Truth and has realized his Oneness with All That Is, or has become Self-Realized. Thus his understanding of the nature of reality and truth is profound to a degree that is rare among all modern mystics, gurus or sages.
His first mainstream book, Power Vs. Force, lays the groundwork for this book by presenting many aspects of modern nonlinear science such as: quantum mechanics, Chaos Theory, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, critical point analysis, nonlinear dynamics and more.
In Power Vs. Force, he then takes these concepts that center around the nature and behavior of energy, and presents his Map of Consciousness, where collective consciousness is described as being a series of fields of energy, each field of which behaves in very similar waves. An easy comparison would be that of comparing the full spectrum of light to a rainbow, where each individual spectrum of light behaves in a way that creates a specific color of light among the whole of the rainbow.
Understanding this Map of Consciousness is foundational to the full appreciation of Eye of The I. And yet, while Power Vs. Force is an amazing book, for the average or beginning reader it can seem to be laden with a lot of scientific jargon based around this science of kinesiology that can make it a challenge to digest.
Well, for those interested and determined readers who get through Power Vs. Force, this book, Eye of The I, is definitely the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. While some of the verbiage may not be discernible if one hasn't studied Hawkin's Map of Consciousness in Power Vs. Force, I believe this book stands alone as one of the greatest expressions of the Enlightened experience of Reality.
Eye of The I begins with a seven page prologue that is a firsthand, subjective description of reality as it is experienced by a Self-Realized Sage, such as Buddha (The Awakened One), Krishna, or Jesus the Christ. This description is immediately engaging, provocative and astonishing! The second chapter of the book describes his process of re-acclimating into normal society after having experienced this awakening experience that rendered him, for a time, non-functional in normal society.
These first 19 pages of the book are so stunning and profound that for the reader seeking enlightenment or the evolution of their awareness, you will not see the world the same after having been exposed to these pages. These pages, by themselves, are worth the price of the book.
As if this wasn't enough, the book continues forward with 317 pages of profound observations about the nature of truth, reality, life, subjectivity, perception, the mind, and even the very nature of God itself! (The 11-page chapter on the nature of God is another masterpiece of this book, and presents observations about the nature of Divinity--or God--in a way that immediately refutes the one issue that seems to divide humanity moreso than any other issue.)
I cannot speak highly enough of the importance and precious nature of this book. It is clearly ahead of its time... or is it? Perhaps it has arisen at precisely the right time, when humanity is on the verge of an explosive revolution in human consciousness.
Regardless, as the book states in its introductory caveat:
The traditional religionist or the spiritually timid are forewarned that the material herein presented may be disturbing and therefore better bypassed.
The teachings are presented for the seriously committed spiritual student who is seeking God as Enlightenment.
The pathway to Enlightenment via radical truth is demanding and requires surrender of belief system. Only then does the ultimate reality reveal itself as the sought after I of the Supreme.
The material presented herefore is from the perspective of the Eye of the I.
If you are ready to take a quantum leap forward in your progress toward the realization of the ultimate spiritual awareness of Truth as the very essence of your being, I very seriously doubt you will find another book as useful and helpful along your path as this book is.
I'm convinced this work will stand the test of time, and will stand next to the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, The Sermon On The Mount and the Bodhidharma as being one of the most important spiritual writings ever written.
Summary of The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing Is Hidden
The scope of this work is immense. It includes not only a detailed, subjective report of very advanced states of spiritual consciousness traditionally called enlightenment, but, for the first time, correlates and recontextualizes spiritual information in such a manner as to make it comprehensible to reason and the intellect.This correlation between science and spirituality represents a cohesive integration between the linear and the nonlinear dimensions. By "transcending the opposites", the author resolves the ages-old, seemingly irresolvable conflict and impasse between science and religion, between materiality and spirituality, and between ego and spirit. This resolution then clarifies unresolved mysteries and dilemmas which have been with mankind throughout history. With the expansion of consciousness afforded by this work, questions answer themselves and truth becomes self-evident.
The style of presentation takes the reader back and forth from the linear to the nonlinear domains until, to one's surprise, the incomprehensible becomes not only comprehensible but actually obvious.
The calibrated level of consciousness of those who have been exposed to this material has been experimentally documented and has shown considerable elevation and advancement. Power accomplishes without effort what force cannot do for it goes where force cannot follow.
This book is written for both the self and the Self of the reader. Although the traditional great obstacle to enlightenment called "transcending the opposites of duality and nonduality" may sound obscure, by the time one has finished the book, this critical awareness is self-resolving.
