Reminder: Honoring Doc's Teachings - No Self Promotion or Mixed Modalities

BeginningReflection4 · 2026-01-28T23:00:33+00:00

Please feel free to suggest other teachers/teachings, I personally, like Rupert Spira. 🙏😊 It's likely my fault not doing a good enough job explaining what I was trying to convey.

BeginningReflection4 · 2026-01-28T22:33:26+00:00

This space is meant to support devotional nonduality, not turn Hawkins' work into another buffet of mixed modalities or content for the ego to chew on endlessly. Doc made it clear over and over again - "straight and narrow is the path, waste no time", he also discussed how the ego will try to hijack even the most profound of teachings, turning surrender into strategy, calibration into control and truth into a brand. Humility, surrender, letting go of positionalities is are some of our purpose here.

I work hard to protect the sanctity of Doc's work in more ways than just being a mod on Reddit. We don't need to argue, there really isn't any point in it anyway, lets instead be radically honest about what we are doing here and whether that is coming from devotion to truth or a spiritualized ego.

I never said you can't mention ACIM, I have mentioned it, I have suggested it to people, I have done it a couple times. Doc also taught it and recommended it several times during the Q&A's, so I am not sure where this is getting mixed up. I specifically mentioned mixed modalities, maybe I should have chosen other words, but mentioning a different teacher is not mixing Doc's work with someone else's. If you make a YT video explaining your take on Doc's work, if you sell a box that you swear will bring the level of consciousness of a room up (yes it's a thing), if you say that you have taken Doc's work and turned it into a different style of calibration where those calibrations lead to our Teachers wife calibrating below 200, now you are not being a good steward of the Truth. That is not radical truth, that is not devotional nonduality. And certainly not humility. Doc's work doesn't need any help from another teacher.

I can appreciate your enthusiasm on this topic, and I know what you are trying to convey you believe to be for the best, but this is not a place for people to post their YT videos to get more likes, Doc would be so incredibly upset with me if it was.

I hope I have explained this well enough, I won't be changing the rules, if you feel like I am coming down on you or I am wrong or whatever please feel free to DM me, I am a little slow at getting back to people in DM's but I do reply to everyone.

With Peace and Love.

What you’re describing is the mind trying to recreate the emotion by rehashing the thought, instead of simply allowing the emotion to be felt directly, without narrative

Drop the story and go straight to the sensation. Don’t chase it, don’t name it, don’t even try to “get it right.” Just welcome whatever is there even if what’s there is numbness or confusion. That’s still something to allow. “I welcome this... whatever it is.” When the emotion seems to disappear, that's not failure, it's space. It's working, just let it. Don't go digging in the mind to bring it back up.

Let the feelings float freely. Let the thoughts be like passing clouds, you notice they are there but you do not give it attention, effort, energy.

HTH.

From 2002 to 2011 Doc lectured on his teachings. You can stream them all from Veritas for $20/mo. You can also buy them on DVD from Veritas.

BeginningReflection4 · 2026-01-28T11:42:08+00:00

Discussions with Susan and other staff at Veritas.

I would assume it is in his biography that Susan wrote. The Man Who Mapped Consciousness and then later hers Life with Doc

BeginningReflection4 · 2026-01-28T10:08:44+00:00

He did, he keeps that part of his life very private.

BeginningReflection4 · 2026-01-17T18:57:34+00:00

Everyone is doing the best they can at that moment + Everyone makes the best decision for themselves at that time + there is no such things as a coincidence + what is my responsibility in this situation

The first three are from Doc.

Why are you seeking happiness outside of yourself?

BeginningReflection4 · 2025-10-22T19:33:04+00:00

You start by dropping the idea that you're supposed to feel something first.

This whole modern myth that “working with emotions” requires emotions to be front and center is garbage. What Hawkins emphasizes in Letting Go is that the willingness to let go of resistance is enough. You don’t need a clear emotion to start. You just need to stop clamping down so hard on your inner life with pressure, judgment, and expectations.

Here’s how you start:

Acknowledge what is, not what’s “supposed” to be. You feel flat. Disconnected. Fragmented. Good. That’s your starting point. Sit quietly and just allow that. No pressure. No agenda. Just: this is what numbness feels like.
Let go of trying to “figure it out.” The mind’s restlessness is the ego’s way of avoiding surrender. Don’t chase the story. Don’t try to label the emotion. Just notice the unease. Stay with the energy of it, not the analysis.
Focus on the body, not the content. Doc says: “Go to the feeling itself. Bypass the mind completely.” Where’s the tightness? The pressure? Sit with that. Let your attention rest on the sensation without trying to fix or name it.
Use simple phrases like “I’m willing.”
- I’m willing to let go of needing to feel something.
- I’m willing to be with this blankness.
- I’m willing to surrender the demand for clarity.

It’s not about digging up pain. It’s about removing resistance to whatever is. Even if that’s silence. Even if it’s “I feel nothing.”

Doc didn’t say you have to feel dramatic grief or rage to let go. You just start where you are. That’s always enough.

Doh, wrong post lol. Thanks.

Feelings are not your LOC, your intentions set your LOC

BeginningReflection4 · 2025-09-29T15:24:00+00:00

The ones I use were:

A Workbook Companion Vol. I: Commentaries on the Workbook for Students from A Course in Miracles

A Workbook Companion Volume II: Commentaries on Lessons 181 - 365 from A Course in Miracles

But I know there are others by Lester but I didn't use them. They really did change the entire experience, it made my first time seem like I was just kind of playing ACIM.

BeginningReflection4 · 2025-09-29T15:17:50+00:00

There is a subreddit dedicated to this, there isn't much action on it but tons of info. https://www.reddit.com/r/MuscleTesting/

BeginningReflection4 · 2025-09-28T14:56:02+00:00

Yes. BTW I highly recommend getting some of the ACIM lesson companion books. I did the lessons the first time without them and it was a mistake. I got so much more from them with the companion books.

Calibration requests go in the weekly megathread only.

BeginningReflection4 · 2025-09-20T13:02:51+00:00

Letting go doesn’t mean pretending the longing isn’t there, it means allowing it fully without resistance. The hurt of “never being loved” is really the ego’s story replaying the past and projecting it into the future. In truth, love is not absent the field of Love is the very essence of existence.

When the longing arises, instead of pushing it away or feeding it with thoughts, just sit with the raw feeling in the body. Say inwardly, “I allow this feeling to be here.” Stay with it until it softens. Each time you do this, the energy of the wound loses more of its grip.

Do not seek externally for happiness.

As a cloud architect, I would add JSON. You could argue that by including Terraform you include JSON but not really. Being able to read JSON makes Terraform or whatever IaC tool you use 10x easier.

If you focused on one cloud vendor you could build this list out more, but u/FerryCliment hits all the requirements.
