“What you study as a spiritual study were truths discovered by someone else. When you accept hearsay evidence without knowing it through your own experience then it’s a program. It’s a program when it’s not a realization, an unfoldment of your own. What happened to some historical figure 2000 years ago is absolutely fascinating, it doesn’t help you one iota. It’s when the same experience unfolds in you and then you see what that person was saying to you. What the person was saying to you is that, just as it happened within me, it can happen in you, and you will discover the same things about yourself that I found.”
Dr. David R. Hawkins, Sedona Method Interview (circa 1980)
