From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the son of God. At climactic points, Jesus is so identified - by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for its study, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus.

One of the many important points that Dr. Hawkins stresses in this lecture is that in order to follow his Pathway of Devotional Non-Duality, your devotion to Truth has to be greater than the devotion to the payoff of being right. When this prevails, one is well on the way to Enlightenment. What keeps the ego in place? It is the pleasure it gets from its positionalities. The willingness to surrender the gratification and pleasure of the payoff of the ego's positions is the sacrifice. Dr. Hawkins also informs us that spiritual work is a lot easier that we think!

This set includes three talks given by Dr. Hawkins, on Stress, Health, and Spiritual First Aid. Stress results from our point of view, from what we hold in mind, as well as from our attitudes and beliefs. The source of stress is within ourselves and not out in the world.

Dr. Hawkins describes methods of precluding stress rather than trying to alleviate its aftermath.

David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., is an internationally known author and speaker on the subject of spiritually advanced states of consciousness and the realization of the presence of God as Self.

They describe a very advanced state of spiritual awareness which occurred in this individual, with a scientific and clinical background, who is able to verbalize and explain the unusual phenomena in a manner that is clear and comprehensible.

For the average spiritual seeker, the pathway to enlightenment often seems unclear. In this inspiring seminar, Dr. Hawkins informs us, "The enlightened state does not announce itself. You pray to God to understand the essence of divinity and love. Then in one happy moment when karmic propensities prevail, the State reveals itself." The role of karma is emphasized, for it allows us to recontextualize the seemingly unexplainable events of life. And on the power of surrendering one's personal will to God, he states, "To invoke the will of God is much different than handling something on your own!"

Dr. Hawkins reviews the scale of emotions and their energy fields. He shows how to get out of depression instantly. He unveils the real cause of depression and teaches that biochemical changes in the brain are a consequence and not the cause.

When there is loss of meaning and self-worth, there is a need to create a new context.

Dr. Hawkins addresses many of the spiritual belief systems and myths that many of us grew up with, and shows how the majority of them are false, including the Apocalypse prophecies. Even today, people still come up with ideas, such as spiritual codes (the Bible Code, etc.) that have no basis in truth. Also included in this category are such concepts that the universe can disappear (an impossibility), that many popular people, such as celebrities or talk-show guests, are coming from a basis of truth (false), etc.
