| between the old values and the new; the old consciousness and the new. You will come to | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| you do not trust it. You trust your old, destructive habitual defenses more. Then of course there | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to come. We shall share these new and old truths. What I have just said is one | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| one of the most important differences between the old and the new value systems. I say new | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |

| it will contain a new aliveness that the old artificial fullness of your mind made impossible. In | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| all brothers and sisters inhabiting the earth. The old consciousness still makes for separation. But humanity is | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to a stage of development in which the old structure can no longer be maintained. It cannot | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| cannot bear the tensions and restrictions of the old limited consciousness. A new vision must be gained | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| between people who are still steeped in the old consciousness and those who share the new perception | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| find areas within where they still maintain the old, selfish, narrow vision. Those are the areas you | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| strict differentiation between those who are in the old and those who are in the new. There | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| frustration, crisis, and finally destruction, so that the old may crumble and you can begin to build | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| If you are willing to give up the old, obsolete attitude and adopt a new, more appropriate | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| it is not, in itself, destruction of the old. It is reformulation and change, a new organization | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| of eternal values which already existed in the old consciousness but which must be expressed in a | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| level of reality. It must therefore destroy the old order -- the old balance system and its | 228 BALANCE |
| must therefore destroy the old order -- the old balance system and its obsolete measurements -- as | 228 BALANCE |
| its obsolete measurements -- as it also destroys old, outworn attitudes, feelings, values and concepts. The destruction | 228 BALANCE |
| similar attitudes exist in man. However, in the old relationships between man and woman, the woman victimized | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| a slave in order to avoid self-responsibility. The old fairy tale that a woman's career will make | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| the degree that you still cling to the old state, you have not gained your own self | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| To attempt such relating and fulfillment while the old attitude remains unchanged is sheer waste; it is | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| infant to child to adolescent to adult to old age, after which a further metamorphosis beyond human | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| new incarnation can be undertaken without leaving the old body behind and creating a new incarnation. Thus | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| continued in certain circumstances -- according to the old seedplan -- completely changes in feelings, expressions, experiences | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| environment, and task. New talents may manifest, and old ones maybe expressed differently. A path such as | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| a full life always means stepping beyond the old fences and making new territory your own familiar | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| you soon feel as comfortable as in the old. Realizing yourself means feeling comfortable in a new | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| this life? The process of giving up the old and moving on to the new? ANSWER: Yes | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| Change and movement mean constantly dying from an old state into a new one, but always taking | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| new one, but always taking aspects of the old along in new form. One who completely accepts | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| harmoniously flow. Thus, you no longer need the old outer structure in which what is right for | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| is pushing into the resistant matter of the old. The old, stagnant age does not want to | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| into the resistant matter of the old. The old, stagnant age does not want to yield easily | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| a new level of operation on which the old attitude of taking, wanting, demanding and not giving | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| heart's desire is God's will. At first, by old habitual standards, you will distrust that your desire | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| needs to be made, so as to shed old bad habits of thinking, feeling, reacting, willing and | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| My body is feeling the struggle between the old and the new. The old is stubborn and | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |

| you shrink back. This is not simply an old habit. It is the result of still being | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |

| insist on not giving up anything of the old familiar environment, and yet you desperately strive toward | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| toward the new place. You chafe against the old structures while complaining that you cannot arrive at | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| moment in-between -- between letting go of the old and the unfoldment of the new experience or | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| sort of no-man's land. You have left the old place and are not yet in a new | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| right attitude, you will never rebel when an old tradition is discontinued, or when it is replaced | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| customs, rituals and celebrations. Ask yourself if the old tradition has been superseded by truths and values | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| past. On this earth sphere you talk about old and new. Often these words carry positive and | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| be either way. Some people think of the old as all good, all benign, unthreatening and full | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| traditionalists. There are also those who see anything old as outdated, undesirable and bad, while anything new | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| these terms makes any sense. There is neither old nor new, and there is both. Everything already | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| to the eternal truths and laws. So the old and the new exist in the timeless reality | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| timeless reality of eternal now -- not as old and new timewise, but as concepts or attitudes | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| gained them in the previous curve. Thus the old truth, learned in the previous curve, makes new | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| revelation, later becomes renewed in repetition -- an old truth under new light. But the renewal could | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| place only because other truths -- new and old -- have been discovered along the way. They | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| have been unknown by the individual; they are old in the sense that they existed before they | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| threat. You wish to hold on to the old familiar approach which is known to you, to | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| as unobstructed as possible. Growth must combine the old and the new. It must retain tradition and | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| orientations, or schools of thought, arise constantly. The old is either being calcified by the distorted concept | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| openness to change. In this open state, some old opinions, beliefs and ideas will be reinstated because | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| felt level; this means preserving tradition. Then the old truths will live in a new way in | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| the person; this means enlivened, renewed tradition. Other old beliefs will be discarded because they no longer | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| new planetary being, with new values and with old truths renewed. This new person will gradually overtake | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| always rationalizations. Each phase was of course also old, because no eternal truths are totally new. They | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| in the spirit reality and is thus neither old nor new, and yet is both. It is | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| nor new, and yet is both. It is old, because it has always existed. It is new | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| openness and freshness to give new considerations to old truths and thus flow with the beautiful rhythm | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| best sense. You retain the values of the old and constantly eliminate values no longer applicable. This | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| while continuing to look down on them. This old history is very relevant for those who are | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| have a vicious circle: Believing totally in the old tradition of Judaism, an eye for an eye | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |

| Humanity has truly become ready to shed these old attitudes and create new conditions, new standards, new | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| greater fulfillment. A particularly pernicious aspect of the old attitude toward marriage was that the sexual need | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| is exactly what I am talking about. The old ways desperately need profound change. A new sexual | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
