| I will speak in this lecture about the meaning of the new cosmic force in terms of | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| made many attempts to come through, but its meaning is poorly understood in many quarters. So there | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to joy, love, and happiness, and to the meaning your life has acquired as you serve a | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| overview, so that you can grasp the deeper meaning of what is happening today. Ever since human | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| you will perceive that there is a deeper meaning to it. For you take unthinkingly for granted | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| deal of time and development before the inner meaning of such a crisis can become clear. The | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| and inevitable. Individuals who are blind to the meaning of the crisis that was caused by obstructing | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| the know will be aware of the real meaning of the crisis and will not fear it | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |

| was the Word. There is a very deep meaning to this. The word is the first creative | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| motion. Listen to their underground noises, see their meaning, take enough distance from them so that you | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| can listen to your words and contemplate their meaning and be aware of their consequences. Then perhaps | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| search. The moment you find and understand the meaning of this period, this phase on your path | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| life as disconnected. Occurrences seem to have no meaning. Everything seems arbitrary. You may feel occasional happiness | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| or crisis. Then you may already understand the meaning of this period and therefore feel a deep | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| like the previous happy state -- has no meaning or connection with a deeper sense of life | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| little by little you see that there is meaning in the daily occurrences. You find connections that | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| necessary. Without them you cannot find the deeper meaning of everything that happens in your life, personally | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| life, personally and generally. As you see the meaning, so does your security increase. Tonight's lecture is | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| it, so that tonight's lecture will have more meaning for you. I will specifically concentrate on the | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| in its positive form has a beautiful, beautiful meaning. It is an in-gathering of all the forces | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| very manifestations you consider negative have a tremendous meaning and sense, most necessary and beneficial for you | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| lose sight of its regenerative, benign nature and meaning. The same is true, in reverse, for the | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| and unwholesome. But when you derive the full meaning from your contracted state, it will no longer | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| versa. When you sense the flow and the meaning in the spiral movement of the contraction and | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| a time when your manifestations have a different meaning, when you no longer have to wallow in | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| was afraid not only of failure, but the meaning of failure. Is it something that I was | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| courage to confront myself and find out the meaning. The meaning is not something bad nor does | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| confront myself and find out the meaning. The meaning is not something bad nor does it imply | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| and again to tune in to the deeper meaning of your path and of the community you | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |

| said before, there is a very deep, significant meaning to the meeting of these two light centers | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| these two light centers. The reality of this meaning already exists on the inner level of being | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| manifestation, it takes some time before the inner meaning can fully materialize. More steps, effort and groping | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| is of utmost importance. It has much greater meaning than many other linkages, for there are specific | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| immediately comprehend and follow through. But the greater meaning can indeed become a reality if you use | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| feelers, your inner sensitivity, to attune to the meaning of this meeting, or linking. A mutual giving | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |

| the sequence of lectures and has its integral meaning in your own process, both as individuals and | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| as a community. The topic is the spiritual meaning of political systems. I will speak about the | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| format and what are its distortions? The divine meaning and origin, the inner truth of these systems | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| one category. What is the divine expression and meaning in these systems? It should not be too | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| it in this land. Its divine manifestation and meaning are total freedom of expression and the use | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| knowledge of these three basic systems, their divine meaning and their abuses -- inside of you and | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| God, no eternal life, no eternal soul, no meaning to the experiences you encounter. As you so | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| as part of that, to faith in the meaning and purpose of all that comes to pass | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| of God, of eternal life, of the benign meaning of everything in every crevice of consciousness. This | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| in a deep knowledge and perception of the meaning of life and experience. You sense a deep | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| of life and experience. You sense a deep meaning in your own existence, from the largest issues | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| emotion can be replaced by an experience of meaning and significance. And the more this is the | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| not perceive the immediacy of Him and the meaning He is bringing into your events and experiences | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| to mean one thing have a yet deeper meaning in the light of the topic of this | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| must come when the soul awakens to the meaning of these manifestations and experiences and uses them | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| may even have been consciously seeking the spiritual meaning of life. But none of you started out | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| recapture the experience and coordinate it with the meaning I am giving to it in this lecture | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| to the surface, you will know their exact meaning, as I have described it in this lecture | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| that exists has a purpose and a benign meaning. Do not push this fear and longing away | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| my very beloved friends. What is the deepest meaning of the spirit of self-preservation? If the deep | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| not of the world will have a new meaning for you. You will know that the world | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| be your only and ultimate existence. Allow the meaning of these words to fully take hold of | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| will be very helpful to grasp the deeper meaning of Be in the world but not of | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| life makes sense; everything is tinged with loveliness, meaning, fascination, joy, and security. But where you hold | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| are. The topic of this lecture is the meaning of tradition. Let us first examine what tradition | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| forth. But at the present time its true meaning may be disregarded or forgotten, the rituals involved | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| under completely different circumstances, under conditions where the meaning of this tradition has been lost is therefore | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| a person is aware of a tradition's real meaning as applicable today or whether he or she | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| result of the soul's struggle to find divine meaning and because of the personality's willingness to overcome | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| Like objects, concepts often differ in application and meaning in the two spheres, because on your plane | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| becomes diminished, modified and separated from its entire meaning. This is inevitable, since your reality is limited | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| into a duality, whereby much of its original meaning is lost or distorted. It is always possible | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| always possible for you to recapture the original meaning and thus open up to a further influx | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| but as concepts or attitudes with a specific meaning and expression behind them. Let us consider the | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| principles exist in truth, faithful to their real meaning. Each new phase is greeted with rebellion against | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| the deep sense that your life has profound meaning and purpose, can exist only when your life | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| words are being addressed to you. Consider the meaning of this reaction. Can you perhaps take distance | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| will clearly perceive that there is a profound meaning in their specific sequence. Retrospectively you can recognize | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| sequence. Retrospectively you can recognize this rhythm and meaning in the sequence of lectures. The topic of | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| deeper reality will blind you to the true meaning of events. Confusion will be rampant so that | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| are being made do macrocosmic events reveal their meaning and connections, their causes and effects -- at | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| cruel earthly leaders and fathers. But the true meaning of the final judgment is the revealing of | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| you send out constant rays that convey a meaning which creates distinct effects. Let this new vision | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| selves. Now I wish to speak about the meaning of grace. For many of you this is | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| and forms of governments. But when the inner meaning gets lost again, the same deficit will arise | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| You are blessed. 251. THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE Blessed are | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| can be properly understood only when the spiritual meaning that underlies earthly events is gleaned. In the | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| direction, otherwise you cannot really grasp the inner meaning of these changes. In all evolutionary movements the | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| is not glorified but understood in its true meaning. When the tension manifests positively, it is truly | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| hand. If you avoid privacy because the true meaning of the anxiety it may at first produce | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| more noticeably meaningful. Your inner paths bring outer meaning to your life. As your community grows, the | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| that there is eternal life, peace, joy, excitement, meaning, that there is nothing to fear, that there | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| appear. Negation of truth, beauty, love, and the meaning of creation always stems from bitterness, fear and | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| previous one. Each step or phase has a meaning and cannot possibly be undertaken at the wrong | 255 THE BIRTHING PROCESS -- COSMIC PULSE |
| be one hundred years and over. The inner meaning of this fact is that matter is more | 255 THE BIRTHING PROCESS -- COSMIC PULSE |
| inner terrains it is necessary to understand its meaning for your own being and thus to dissolve | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
| great quietude that is, at first, empty of meaning, devoid of anything that spells life or consciousness | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
| still reaching autonomy, in its fullest sense and meaning. You, as a group, have made progress, but | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
| for the same truth, or repeated the true meaning of a specific work to keep its true | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
| is so now. We have often discussed the meaning and the significance of the New Age in | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
