| Be in truth. Be in yourself! 147. THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE Greetings, my dearest | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| yourself! 147. THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE Greetings, my dearest friends. May this lecture be | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| particularly like to stress the relationship between the nature of life and human nature, for there is | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| relationship between the nature of life and human nature, for there is a very direct link between | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| unfolds for them. Let us first discuss the nature of life from an absolute, as well as | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| in the direction toward full selfhood. Life's relative nature is therefore neutral: life itself consists of a | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| to the new beliefs. What is the absolute nature of life, as opposed to this relative, moldable | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| the life stuff is so moldable, the absolute nature of life must be as limitless as the | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| Let us for the moment dwell on the nature of life on the absolute plane. Human consciousness | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| evolution, namely the letting go of destructiveness, the nature of destructiveness must be better understood. The whole | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| life organism tends to realize this potentiality in nature -- a newborn baby, a plant, a cell | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| consequently how difficult the detection of the original nature of the life current. This is precisely why | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| really and truly reconvert it to its original nature. What causes envy is again the dualistic concept | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| I have or the other has is the nature of all envy. This points to the limitation | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the selfishness and dishonesty existing in the childish nature, where the tendency to cheat life always prevails | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| are still full of conflicts and problems the nature of which you do not understand. Any of | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| while claiming that the denial of your very nature is right and good. You justify this irrational | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| ensues when one opposes life with one's own nature. Part of you moves toward others and accepts | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| moves toward others and accepts your instincts and nature, but another side shrinks back from this movement | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| are to trust yourself and your own innermost nature, you must first trust the pull toward unity | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the pull toward unity. Therefore when you separate nature from the divine principle, or your own innermost | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| from the divine principle, or your own innermost nature from spiritual trust, you are engaged in the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| to the greatest of confusions. For how could nature, including the depth of your own nature, be | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| could nature, including the depth of your own nature, be opposed to the divine evolutionary plan? It | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| be experienced only when the deep pull of nature, of evolution, of the creative principle, is understood | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| search with an open attitude for your deepest nature. Do not mistake the negative emotions you first | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| principle to negative situations is not your deepest nature. It is merely a demonstration, a result, of | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| strongly enough, for when you distrust your innermost nature, you distrust the whole spiritual universe. One cannot | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| to trust God, to trust life, to trust nature, if one distrusts one's own deepest instincts. For | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| fight against yourself, your instincts, your body, your nature -- and against nature as such. This is | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| instincts, your body, your nature -- and against nature as such. This is the great struggle of | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| were understood and accepted and one's own innermost nature were not feared and resisted. Try, my friends | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| natural law by not trusting in the benign nature of your feelings. You cut them off. There | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| but I will not risk allowing my full nature to take its course. You do this partly | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| mind and emotions has become so much second nature that it has been accepted as natural. In | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| feel that this is foreign to your innermost nature. Total self-realization, therefore, brings laughter and humor and | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| because it is an integral part of the nature of creation. It is life itself. You are | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| the mentality does not become compatible with the nature of this cosmic power. It can be used | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| because it cannot be untrue to its own nature. Every individual consciousness is universal consciousness -- not | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| consciousness, but it becomes oblivious to its own nature, its laws, and its potentials. This, in short | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| self and from daily life, that splits human nature into the spiritual and the physical being. Thus | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| so deeply ingrained that they have become second nature. Therefore it takes a deeply sensitive letting go | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| in peace, be in God! 153. THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES Greetings, my dearest friends. May | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| you can never convince yourself of the benign nature of the creative forces within you. Productive, creative | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| which you take for granted and the self-regulating nature of which you never even think about. It | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| process applies to other levels. Self-regulation exists in nature in every possible respect. You do have to | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| work in a reliable way. Then their self-regulating nature can reveal itself. The temptation to evade the | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| miss. Only when you have experienced the self-regulating nature of the involuntary processes and the involuntary processes | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| feelings, the positive power inherent in your deepest nature. The latter feelings have the self-regulating wisdom built | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| yourself, it is because you ignore the self-regulating nature of the cosmic flow that any constructive feeling | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| has to grow into its self-reliable and self-regulating nature, it is bound to produce fulfillment. The choice | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the human organism. When this part of human nature is fully grown, the self-regulating quality manifests more | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| feeling is, again, due to ignoring the self-regulating nature of the creative life processes. Recognition of this | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| and humility are practiced and gradually become second nature, there is nothing to fear and all unfulfillment | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| of the deeply meaningful lawfulness of their self-regulating nature that just takes care of itself. You will | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| be a lawful, regular, harmonious movement. The rhythmic nature of consciousness is meaningful within its own inner | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| They, too, follow a certain order, although its nature may still be obscure. Let us now try | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
