| perhaps the most important question on the evolutionary path of each entity. You remain in the cycle | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| the problem becomes worse. Our aim on this path is precisely the knowing and acceptance of the | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the evils they deny. My friends on the path have experienced how true this is: To the | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |

| that all of you who work on this path have made possible, that you have built yourselves | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| Now, are there any questions? QUESTION: Is the path of alternation between the inner and the outer | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |

| my friends whose phase of work on the path requires deeper understanding of this process. Let us | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| Of course it takes considerable work on the path before you are really conscious of your fear | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| a step further on this juncture of your path. You can look at your negations without hiding | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| Even you, who work so diligently on this path, focus on others' actual or imaginary evil so | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |

| of being. It cannot be denied that this path is a hard taskmaster, precisely because it allows | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| more conscious the struggle is, the better. Any path of self-development must sooner or later come to | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| self-development, self-confrontation, and growth -- in short, the path. I will attempt to give an overview of | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| place or phase within his or her own path. But an overall picture can nevertheless be conveyed | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| therefore obvious that your further direction on the path can now be more directly concerned with the | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| the defenses are still strong they block the path to the emotional experience so that the attempt | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |

| The Abyss of Illusion I said that the path of self- realization and unification contains many junctures | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| And yet, as many of you on the path have begun to find out, it is the | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| conscious mind. Therefore, the first task on your path is to explore yourself deeply, so that you | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| opposite direction must be taken, many leave the path, unwilling to accept the truth that avoidance is | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| remain untouched or even be reinforced. When the path requires the opposite, your reaction can often be | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| state, you will remain in confusion about the path itself. Lack of full commitment yields tenuous, spurious | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| previous existences. Now, in this phase on your path where you experience more and more of this | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| has been removed by your efforts on your path, and the defensive layer insulating you from these | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| occur. To really understand the nature of this path, it is important to know to some degree | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| realize its unlimited power and scope. Therefore this path constantly requires your mind to bridge the gap | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| so that the organic rhythm of each individual path is perceived. One needs to know the following | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| all of you who are drawn to this path that the second way of approaching spirituality and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| that appear to be a byproduct of this path are only an illusion; as long as any | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| not you choose to know this now. This path is a taxing one, but it is real | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| evolutionary journey. Human beings who choose such a path incorporate themselves into the divine plan. The aim | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the other: it is different with everyone. The path must be allowed to express itself from within | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| organismic reality. The various approaches offered on this path fulfill important functions so you can work on | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| consciousness in which this earth finds itself. Our path uses the harder of the two approaches to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| human beings, no matter how committed to this path, are not always capable of meditating, for the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| provided it is rightly understood and applied. This path is first and foremost a process of making | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| of the inner state of the personality. Our path uses this most important and truthful mirror to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the inner rhythm and reality that is the path. Whoever commits to do the work of this | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| Whoever commits to do the work of this path will experience that there is a living, organic | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| one of the most important aims on this path to make conscious all you think and know | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| in the material world. It is your own path that unfolds, and it eventually reveals the reason | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| and attitude at any given phase of your path. You can meditate for awareness in your soul | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| even when they are not involved in a path such as this. It may arise from an | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| an outer decision and commitment to a real path, with all that it implies. Such guidance may | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| advancement you have made on your own inner path. There is no truer measurement. You can never | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| great and significant ventures, such as your spiritual path of self-evolution, which is the most important undertaking | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| Many of you who are committed to this path have begun to admit some negative intentions, some | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| spiral, which is the true movement of the path. The cause and effect relationship seems broken to | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| next. Only as awareness increases on such a path does the spiritually mature person grow sufficiently to | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| cause and effect linked with negative intentionality. Our path -- and those like it -- can be | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| these aspects needs to be examined. The inner path requires moving back and forth. There are, of | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| conscious and go on from there on their path of development, or to choose to fortify, justify | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| that you can use it in your own path of development. Any philosophy that is not put | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |

| awaits you for your next phase on the path. You have made good progress in admitting partial | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| You may have reached this awareness on your path. You may admit that you are not willing | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| what you need at this juncture in your path. The average state of the human mind is | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |

| to your personal life. My friends on the path have discovered various force fields of distorted ideas | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| have experienced in the further course of this path the depths of the negative emotions connected with | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |

| blessed, be in peace. 204. WHAT IS THE PATH? Greetings and welcome, my friends. Blessings for every | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| lecture I would like to discuss what this path is and what it is not. First, I | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| First, I should like to say that this path is not new: it has existed in many | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| must change as humanity evolves, but the fundamental path remains the same. Before I begin to explain | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| same. Before I begin to explain what this path is, I want to ask you, my friends | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| us to the whole question of what this path is. Let us first state what it is | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| prejudices, and blocks of the individual entering this path. The sooner you can use, explore, and activate | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| is thus quite clear in what way this path differs from psychotherapy, although some of the emphases | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the methods may be similar. Nor is this path a spiritual practice that aims a priori at | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| inner areas. If you think of a spiritual path as the practice of meditation for its own | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| reaching blissful cosmic experiences and consciousness, then this path is not your way. The temptation to use | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| recapitulate what I have said so far. This path is neither psychotherapy, nor a spiritual path in | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| This path is neither psychotherapy, nor a spiritual path in the usual sense of the word: and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| your life: there will be no doubt. Your path will organically bring you into other emphases and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| other emphases and concerns. The aim of this path is not to cure you of an emotional | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the work. But you should not enter this path for that purpose. Third, do not enter this | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| for that purpose. Third, do not enter this path if you expect that it will make you | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| yourself hopelessly bad because of them. So this path must teach you to face whatever is in | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| whatever is in you, this is not the path for you. Now, let us go into a | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| go into a fuller description of what this path entails. Every human being senses an inner longing | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| of your inner being, sending you on a path that helps you to find your real self | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| will follow its message and take the inner path to your core; go through that part which | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| Make no mistake: this is not an easy path. But the difficulty is not a fixed reality | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| into the dark areas of the self. This path demands from an individual that which most people | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| rather an organic and natural process. So this path is simultaneously the most difficult and the easiest | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| degree you want to be in truth, the path will appear neither too difficult, nor will it | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| where this is not so at all. This path leads into the as yet concealed more subtle | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| are without anxiety. Many start out on the path without awareness of their anxiety, but they feel | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| was overcome through an artificial deadening process. This path cannot skip the step of making you first | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| demand of your life, and therefore of any path you contemplate entering, to bypass feeling your anxiety | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| better for you not to start on this path. But if you expect a real effort and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| have indeed every right to expect that this path will help you realize your full life, and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| and the seeking of recognition defeats itself. This path is geared to finding this center, this deep | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| some illusory religious escape. Quite the contrary, this path is immensely pragmatic, for the true spiritual life | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| constantly being verified by those who follow this path, because they find that the deepest pain is | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| creative core. This is basically the pathwork. This path is therefore difficult only because people with their | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| need and rightfully wish for without taking the path into and through your own darkness. Spiritual practices | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| on this earth are willing to undertake this path. Even fewer follow it through all the way | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| will find your true value. Anyone entering this path should be prepared for this miracle to happen | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
