Embracing Change

Self-Inquiry and Fulfillment
In Dr. David R. Hawkins’ latest book, I: Reality and Subjectivity, which calibrates through muscle testing at 999.8 (out of a possible 1000), he discusses the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, who says that it is pointless to try and save the world since the world one perceives does not really exist.
