| in life? What is your aim on this path? How far do you wish to go? Do | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |

| something to defend yourself against. When on your path you reach the deeper regions of your innermost | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| to love. Any one of you on this path has seen at one point or another that | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| friends who find themselves successfully working on their path of self-realization have recently encountered, or will soon | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| years ago, when my friends started on this path, I said that you must first penetrate the | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| fact, which is a tremendous victory on your path. Little by little you will begin to realize | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| of evolution. QUESTION: In my work on the path I found out that I never loved anything | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| often people remain in a bottleneck on their path because they do not move away from the | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| potentials of each of you who follow this path, so that your life can become richer and | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| you have indeed proceeded very well on your path. The deliberate numbing occurs because you believe life | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| illusion they may have are fortunate indeed. Their path lies before them unobstructed. From then the work | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| The personal experience must be unearthed. Therefore this path must be concerned with penetrating illusions -- the | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| friends, that all of you working on this path pay attention to the false emotions you initiate | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| as material to help you continue successfully your path toward finding your real self. Many of you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| When human beings find themselves on such a path, it is very important for them to understand | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| enlivened by the pleasure aspect. You on this path must therefore go back in, as it were | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| do not understand. Any of you on this path who go deeply enough to probe your reactions | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| at all. When you who are on your path find that deep within yourself you fear pleasure | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| into you. Make use of it, travel this path to the very nucleus of your own inner | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| you to make another step forward on your path toward finding yourself. There is a great pull | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| without the other. A point comes on the path toward liberation when the problem must be tackled | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| all my friends who are working on this path of self-realization and liberation. Many of you are | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| specifics that impair integrity and therefore self-respect. Any path of self-realization must deal with the most subtle | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| the vicious circle only by working on a path of self-finding. Each moment of discontent is alive | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| All this you know, and we, on our path here, work diligently. However, no matter how much | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| you and help you shed light on this path from a different angle, with a different consideration | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| expansion and growth. Anyone who seriously pursues this path can corroborate this. You can make whatever happens | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| become aware of the shame. It takes a path within the path to become more conscious of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| the shame. It takes a path within the path to become more conscious of the ingrained but | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| will make what is to come on your path to self-discovery a lot easier. To summarize once | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| so that it actually works negatively. Such a path as ours is aimed at bringing out the | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| are doing and why. People who follow a path of self-confrontation are bound to discover their ingrained | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| together. Anyone who goes deeply enough in their path of self-confrontation cannot help but find this truth | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the subsequent efforts, endeavors, and steps on your path. Provided these efforts are sincere and whole, they | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| it to exactly where you are on your path -- provided you focus your attention and your | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| The better you are attuned to your inner path, the clearer you will see how each phase | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| In time, using various new approaches on this path, some of you will begin to experience what | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| working season with a new approach to your path, to your blocks that prevent and separate you | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| thus become the blessing that further opens your path to self-realization. In order to become what you | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| fear death. Before one embarks on any intensive path of self-confrontation, one does not know that one | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| represented, of course, in all women. On your path, you begin to come face to face with | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| all those friends who are also on this path and do not come to the question and | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| words. Many of my friends on this intensive path of self-realization have come to a crossroads where | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| find yourself dynamically growing and moving on a path of development and self-realization. When you thus become | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| terms for you who are working on this path: To the extent you are frightened of letting | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| that set the pace and direct the individual path. The ego must, again and again, select, decide | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| constructive attitude and undivided attention to the inner path. It must know its limitation as to the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| the deep wisdom, the individual rhythm of the path, the timing, the strength to persevere in difficult | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| and experience it again and again on your path. No new expansion can come unless it follows | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| by any of my friends working on this path. Almost all of you still overlook how many | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| shrinking away from experience is using it. A path such as this primarily aims at the realization | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| errors, which in the course of such a path you begin to discover and uncover. The main | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| of you, my friends, who are on this path most successfully, and perhaps for the longest time | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| carried by life, is a byproduct of the path you are on. The more you face your | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| is not easily taken. Everyone who approaches this path resists finding the causes within. If all goes | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| say that some of my friends on this path have already experienced this new level of reality | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| levels is a very distinct experience on the path. It should be expected, not come as a | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| where all is one. Anyone on such a path eventually notices that when one no longer fights | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| not gone through certain experiences on such a path. But anyone of you who has been near | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| further advanced in your development. Anyone on this Path can experience it any time they truly face | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| The more you do this, the more this path will help you by its self-perpetuating forces that | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| easily see, there comes a point on everyone's path when this becomes the most important threshold to | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| unconscious. It is an important step on everyone's path to bring them into the clear daylight of | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| friends who have made sufficient progress on their path to have come face to face with their | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| Even among those of you who pursue this path and have made great progress in self-realization, there | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| several times. Many of my friends on the path have actually experienced it happen. Let us take | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| spiritual leaders of humankind. Every effort on this path is aimed at reestablishing such a connection for | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| words, this is the immediately available truth. The path toward the inner reality and inner guidance is | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| in relation to life, is what makes the path so difficult and laborious -- nothing else. Thus | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| Generally, you find that your own private personal path follows the same order. Yet you cannot force | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| same order. Yet you cannot force your individual path to imitate the sequence of the lectures. Rather | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| and finally assimilate what I say here, this path will become much easier for you. You will | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| truth is happiness. Anyone working on such a path knows from experience how burdensome such misconceptions and | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| patient is successfully dismissed as cured. Our spiritual path begins precisely here. Of course, the levels overlap | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| the great difficulties each person encounters on the path to harmonious interaction. The way cannot be learned | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| way out, is an essential part of the path. You cannot ever get to know what is | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| constantly changing rhythm or cycle on each individual's path. Each step involves both movements or attitudes. Their | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| being -- is the pulse beat of your path, my friends. The balanced pulsation of your soul | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| the decentralization of your being, you pursue a path in which unhappiness is equated with unselfishness, which | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| of the world to follow you own spiritual path. Since one's own spiritual path cannot be anything | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| you own spiritual path. Since one's own spiritual path cannot be anything but blissful -- and since | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| before you can come to feel that the path of growth itself is the most blissful experience | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| the beginning of this new working season. Our path together will again proceed in a very significant | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| friends should, once again, consider seriously what this path is. Why are they involved in it? What | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| unnecessary difficulties and misunderstandings. The function of this path is not to remove a bothersome symptom in | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| not a treatment of sickness. Nor is the path simply a way of becoming a better person | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| to follow it, that the aim of the path is the total realization of the divine kernel | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| not alter it. It is part of your path to become aware of it. Even admitting to | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| and will are intact in everyone on this path, for if these faculties were not sufficiently developed | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| resistance are a built-in safety measure of the path. Even if reason and will still have weak | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| these controls, provided you are on a meaningful path of honest self-confrontation. Now, using your will and | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| use that constitutes an important aspect of our path. When you have reached a certain awareness of | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| may note that for the longest time our path was concerned with meeting your actions, thoughts and | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| resolved; there is no point on which the path needs to stop -- for anyone. The expansion | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| the goodness of life are truly infinite. The path ceases to be threatening or laborious when you | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| friends as well who have recently joined this path and who have the excitement and adventure ahead | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| the excitement and adventure ahead of them: the path of discovering a new and beautiful world, even | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| make this evening a blessing for your future path on earth. This lecture is an attempt to | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| pit. For anyone who is new on this path, this may sound incredible because he or she | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| ever were. This threshold is essential on anyone's path of evolution. It proves to be a turning | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| possibly one of the reasons why on a path such as this no danger can ever exist | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| and renewed stamina to proceed further on this path, so that you can break through the wall | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| here, help you wherever you are on your path. If you have not yet made a deliberate | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| most of my friends are now on their path. The progress so many of you have made | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| first time you gain personal experience of this path as a reality that leads truly to bliss | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| goes into this wrong direction and makes the path so much longer and unnecessarily painful. The words | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| early experience, and, sooner or later on the path, discover that your current problematic reactions reveal the | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| who find themselves in this stage on the path, where they have, perhaps for the first time | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| have outgrown them. All of you on the path, who have experienced the enlivening beauty of being | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| to come here, listen, and work on the path. You can decide whether or not you want | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| very small minority. You who are on this path are therefore a very small minority. And even | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| change them. This is the way of the path. As you discover the root of your negative | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| principle of activation. You all experience on this path the necessity of contacting hidden cruelty, brutality, sadism | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| suffering. This is why you find on this path that both men and women come across the | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| During the time you have been on this path, you have activated forces to an enormous extent | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| you. May you who are already on this path find new strength and new stimulation from these | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| the most joyful of all discoveries along the path. Once you truly see, accept, and understand its | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| very obscure when one starts on such a path. Usually people are aware only of what they | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| of happiness. Wherever you may be on this path, at the beginning, or perhaps before even starting | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| Whenever you arrive at a juncture on the path from which there seems no way out, or | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| healthy version. The deeper one goes on this path, the less one is inclined to take one | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| This is, as you who work on this path well know, not as easy as it sounds | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| things determine the natural organic process of this path. After the first hurdles have been overcome, the | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| After the first hurdles have been overcome, the path becomes a self-perpetuating reality, producing its own needs | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| you find yourself at present on your individual path. As you will see, the practices I suggest | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| generate. Ever since we started together on this path, I have asked you again and again: What | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| come quite indirectly. This is the way the path often works. On the other hand, you may | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| been talking about and aiming for on this path. Now why has humanity lost touch with the | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| moment will fulfill the next step on this path and overcome an important hurdle. Many of you | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| independent from your own willing and knowing. Any path of genuine development must bring all the confused | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| you. Once you have truly progressed on this path you come to the point where you can | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| of this fact. Anyone who is on a path that genuinely leads to the realization of the | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| must come to this personal insight. Otherwise the path one takes leads to illusion and deals merely | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| still at the very beginning of such a path as this. But once you are seriously involved | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| have already experienced in your work on this path that nothing could be further from the truth | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| here, who are already somewhat advanced on this path and have explored their hitherto unconscious being to | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| easy, but it is certainly possible on this path. Anyone who seriously desires it can bring what | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| more and more to realize that such a path is not to be dreaded as a difficult | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| struggling, and each time you win, such a path brings you bliss in varying degrees. The exact | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| Those who find their way toward a committed path such as this, in which they try to | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| to do something about it you begin a path of struggle, of searching, of testing your faculties | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| goes on. This is a description of the path of dynamic growth. Use your voluntary faculties to | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| peace with something traumatic and painful. On your path you have found misconceptions that equate love with | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| and, in many cases, worked through on your path. But we have never seen the importance of | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| some negative chain reactions working within them. Their path of growth lies in discovering the latter and | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| When he first came to work on the path, he was drugged with tranquilizers and unable to | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| removed authority figure of a punishing god. Your path from that stage on must deal with establishing | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
