| in a certain way only. In other cases people should find themselves as husbands and wives, because | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| as the former. We see spiritually underfed, undernourished people; so many suffer from spiritual vitamin deficiency. The | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| progress in the direction of physical hygiene. Today people bathe and shower daily and keep their bodies | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| lectures, reading the appropriate literature, and conversing with people who know more than oneself. Spiritual nourishment is | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| unaware of certain faults, attitudes, opinions, emotional reactions. People carry many of these trends with them from | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| existence of these old reactions and their harmfulness, people still carry them unconsciously and still react in | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| -- blame some fate or circumstances or other people for what has happened to you. No, my | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| use it without clear consciousness. There are many people who rightly say that whatever a person really | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| go to the length of even harming other people in order to achieve his goal. A more | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| course, not in actions that obviously harm other people, but in feelings and inner reactions that also | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| task. Do not even think first of other people whom you may desire to help. You will | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| Before you can fulfill a task with other people, you have to fulfill it within yourself first | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| you reach the state I have mentioned. Certainly, people who do not receive the proper spiritual nourishment | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| spirituality will have developed so much more, many people will be able to remember their former lives | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| able to do it. You see, there are people today who can, through their development, remember something | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| Greber writes about the Old Testament, about great people like Moses, for instance, who contacted the spirits | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| we should make our own decisions, and those people were spiritually so much more advanced than we | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| much more advanced than we are. ANSWER: These people were very much concerned with fulfilling the will | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| they asked, concerning the welfare of their whole people, a spirit and not their own and very | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| channels, had a good and valuable reason: the people might not have believed their leader if he | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| had told them he received answers directly. These people believed very much in the spirits of God | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| win out over a person, particularly with the people who love God. They are very keen on | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| anyway. But they are particularly keen on conquering people who love God, who seek God, so that | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| they cannot accomplish anything by trying to inspire people to do any type of wickedness that is | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| bring you His blessings, my friends. Very few people indeed have no belief in God at all | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| wisdom that created this universe. Yet very few people know how to continue on logically from this | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| a knob and see pictures. Often, because some people whom you trust declare that something is possible | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| freely accepted. Furthermore, there are a number of people who know and admit that a communication with | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| God has created any possibility of communication with people on the other side, then He must also | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| exist. How frequently it occurs depends solely on people, on whether or not they fulfill the necessary | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| that all this is impossible. There are many people who are called. God is calling them. Whether | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| person's spiritual development. Granted, there are many, many people living on earth who have not experienced such | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| time and again why there are so many people who are inferior to others and yet are | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| think of asking God for His help. Many people say wonderful prayers using beautiful and poetic words | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| many different kinds of giving, however. For many people the easiest way out, if I may say | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| you have to give it first. Impressing other people, whether you do it consciously or unconsciously, is | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| diminishing their loneliness in their supposed imperfection. All people think they are quite alone with their imperfections | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| too you find two extremes. A number of people indulge in self-debasement, pulling themselves down in the | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| insincere a mask as the other extreme. Such people want to accomplish by these means the very | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| very same thing as the other group of people. This is quite a smart maneuver, although it | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| laws you do not understand, just as many people do not know the laws governing communication with | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| spiritually very highly developed? ANSWER: Usually, yes. Those people have a task to fulfill. They bring something | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| friends through meditation and prayer? ANSWER: Very few people, indeed, have the strength to heal through prayer | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| cannot recommend strongly enough that the few privileged people who have found God in their souls to | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| prayer not only for themselves but for other people also. Offer your prayers for general development, for | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| is much more in the sense of what people do with their lives. A person can guide | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| of you. It is not easy for some people who have found their way here for the | 18 FREE WILL |
| subject I will discuss tonight is free will. People are forever and ever debating this subject. One | 18 FREE WILL |
| is noticed and recognized by more and more people today. Many, many causes of what is happening | 18 FREE WILL |
| you say that fate is at work. Many people think that having free will means they can | 18 FREE WILL |
| short, the fall of the angels. So many people wonder how a god of love could have | 18 FREE WILL |
| good subject for meditation. Think of the many people who live in a state of mediocre contentment | 18 FREE WILL |
| particular problems and conflicts, yet lack real happiness, people who never pull themselves up to search for | 18 FREE WILL |
| by humankind, except maybe by a few great people. As long as you are dependent on outer | 18 FREE WILL |
| to lose it because you cannot control other people and their power over you or over your | 18 FREE WILL |
| how to use. It is true, as many people claim, that you can accomplish almost anything by | 18 FREE WILL |
| it right to utilize your dormant powers? Many people are confused and not aware of the possibilities | 18 FREE WILL |
| life, whatever it may be, has done this. People who do not put God above all else | 18 FREE WILL |
| this subject? QUESTION: I think of all those people who have made great careers for instance in | 18 FREE WILL |
| brain region, but also from this part. Many people have not experienced this yet. When they want | 18 FREE WILL |
| is the conviction and experience of truth. Therefore, people who have no faith are wrong when they | 18 FREE WILL |
| yet had this experience. The fact that many people have the wrong kind of faith does not | 18 FREE WILL |
| by often very astounding and revolutionary experiences. Many people have started out on the mystic way, but | 18 FREE WILL |
| God. That cannot happen very easily. But when people seriously work on the mystic path, the time | 18 FREE WILL |
| forces. QUESTION: I would like to know whether people who have gone to the beyond still have | 18 FREE WILL |
| be included in that love. To love more people in the right way does not diminish the | 18 FREE WILL |
| at present only able to extend to some people, you will then have for all creatures. So | 18 FREE WILL |
| then have for all creatures. So, some deceased people still feel very much bound to their relatives | 18 FREE WILL |
| a task to fulfill in connection with a people or a country. But if a spirit is | 18 FREE WILL |
| was unjust or that you lack anything. Nowadays people do not carry these thoughts quite so far | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| of resistance against Christ in a number of people represents the germ of the Fall and the | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| the task was. Only understanding this will keep people from ever saying that God is unjust or | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| process of self-purification over the lifetimes. Unfortunately, few people are doing that. Anyone going though the difficult | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| at that particular time and among those particular people had its good reasons; it was intended that | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| all. What your fathers and forefathers or the people in whom you trust and who have influenced | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| all the truth. You, who are spiritually searching people, should open the doors to truth, no matter | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| necessary. It is also no coincidence that more people from this latter category come at the beginning | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| this which I will now explain. Until the people belonging to the inner circle who actively help | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| of many of their weaknesses, the presence of people who cannot as yet fully appreciate this communication | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| character and spiritual development of most of the people joining your group will change. So you see | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| chance that at the beginning the majority of people coming to you are not of the caliber | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| as time goes on. At the same time, people who fall into the above category and approach | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| purpose of necessary testing and learning for those people with strong arms and shoulders, spiritually speaking, in | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| it may be of imperative importance for some people to hear a particular truth or spiritual law | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| come here and freely choose a subject. Whenever people succeed in contacting God's world, it never happens | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| created being with that of the Creator Himself. People often advance the idea that God should not | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| came into existence. This question has bothered many people who cannot imagine how a God of love | 21 THE FALL |
| born, or reborn, or re-awakened. More and more people came to live on earth. Only with self-awareness | 21 THE FALL |
| of the medium as well as of the people using the channel. During the early times, human | 21 THE FALL |
| see even a part of this effect. As people change, they might see some of the effect | 21 THE FALL |
| little bit, due to their own change. But people will not know, as long as they are | 21 THE FALL |
| only by considering all sides. The trouble with people is not that they cannot do this but | 21 THE FALL |
| the superiority with which you try to impress people. For yet another it may be most difficult | 21 THE FALL |
| what seems at first so difficult. Ask the people around you to tell you what your faults | 21 THE FALL |
| First, think about what, in relation to other people, seems most difficult for you. After you have | 21 THE FALL |
| led to this path. There are millions of people who are not... ANSWER: In the first place | 21 THE FALL |
| is much rather that a great percentage of people who could take this path and who are | 21 THE FALL |
| possibilities, but the essence is never understood, because people do not want to understand it. Just look | 21 THE FALL |
| of God -- will convey the same: many people are guided to them, and a small, small | 21 THE FALL |
| you see, the spirit world actually gives more people the possibility, just on the remotest chance, than | 21 THE FALL |
| just on the remotest chance, than there are people who take the opportunity. You can be sure | 21 THE FALL |
| a great deal of self-knowledge is necessary; most people are unaware of their real feelings and emotional | 21 THE FALL |
| to speak and manifest to human beings. Many people accept the possibility of manifestations by undeveloped spirits | 22 SALVATION |
| salvation by Jesus Christ really means. Very few people indeed realize its full significance, least of all | 22 SALVATION |
| have almost completely misunderstood what salvation is. Many people believe that Christ died on the cross for | 22 SALVATION |
| enough developed to produce only spheres of light. People would produce and own several spheres, harmonious and | 22 SALVATION |
| are, they were not new. In essence, other people had also brought the same teachings. He adjusted | 22 SALVATION |
| At the same time, you live surrounded by people of different levels of development, which creates friction | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| friction. It is much easier to live with people of the same spiritual spheres, while the difference | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| spheres, while the difference of development among different people creates misunderstandings, blindness, and so on. This very | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| only spheres of light? ANSWER: Well, there are people now on this earth who belonged once to | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it into books and literature. In other words, people who are open for this type of knowledge | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| certain spiritual light in an overall development, collectively, people will have wars on your earth. In principle | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it is not a question of how many people are killed. The question is the motive. And | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| on both sides, certainly. In recent times, when people make war, they may be mistaken in their | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| behind it, even if there are some ruthless people who are completely selfish. The majority of the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| who are completely selfish. The majority of the people follow some cause, some idea, while in former | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| get more land, to get more power. Though people seem to be that way now too, even | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| they know and sense this. There are some people who claim that the old way is still | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| effect. This alone should be an answer to people who claim there is no advance in spiritual | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this is one of the many proofs. But people will reach eventually -- and it is to | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| fast in comparison to spiritual progress will force people to come to this conclusion and this enlightenment | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this conclusion and this enlightenment. As long as people do not fight their lower selves and thus | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| development will have reached a certain stage, when people have reached a step nearer to God in | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it does not matter so much how many people are killed and that this is not regrettable | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| spiritual point of view, the question how many people were killed in a war is not the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| if I might use this expression. There are people -- and you may encounter them every day | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| others. They are much better than some other people, but also, at the same time, much worse | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| plan, and if the free will of the people would work to avoid this particular direction, then | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not originate on this earth plane. But then, people often misinterpret this in another wrong way, namely | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a sad heart. Oh, there are a few people here with problems. There is a sadness here | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| why, for instance, also on this earth sphere, people of higher and lower development live together with | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| no outer mark that indicates their spiritual standing. People have to learn to make their own choices | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| never been duplicated, but there are extremely few people, indeed, who understand the Bible from this point | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| QUESTION: The Book of Exodus says that the people were told to collect manna only for one | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| spiritually, to find yourself and God. With the people of the best intentions -- the most diligent | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the better it is for you. The less people are aware of it, the better it serves | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| being aware, the answer may come through other people or through something you read or something apparently | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| within one's own family. They may exist with people one meets in the course of one's life | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| real. It is already a great accomplishment for people of lower spiritual development if they can be | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| The greatest difficulty on this path is that people tend to fool themselves about who they really | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| and signs may be right under your nose. People flee from such awareness because they mistakenly think | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| great deal of harm is being done when people are led to understand that by following certain | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| prove a sign of success. There are many people who appear to have no outer problems whatsoever | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| appear to have no outer problems whatsoever. Such people are certainly not on this path. They may | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| more obviously, others more subtly and secretively. Many people are not doing it outwardly, but psychologically you | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| shy away from what is in you! Many people go to psychiatrists and sometimes suffer a breakdown | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| they are really their lower self can lead people to such self-rejection and self-disgust that they break | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| childish and primitive. But the primitive ideas some people have may be wrong too, because they see | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| superstition is not right. Neither are the intellectual people right to deny that anything they consider concrete | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| possibility for evil if with their free will people -- or spirits -- use this power against | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| manifold, since there are different reasons for different people. They are primarily psychological. When the soul is | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
