| will of your conscious being is. What most people do not accept, at least not until a | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| Him decide for you. But how very few people do this when the mood of doubt overtakes | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| you be capable of happiness. For how many people are capable of happiness? Very few, my friends | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| happiness? Very few, my friends. The majority of people are actually as scared of happiness as of | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| Jesus meant mainly. To do good to other people is also part of it. But can you | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| But can you do really good to other people as long as your impure currents force you | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| dear ones, it may be sufficient for some people, but do not ever forget that for anyone | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| a decent person who does not harm other people. That the fulfillment of this obligation works out | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| is fear in your heart, you harm other people. You actually send out certain rays that have | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| is due to the law of brotherhood. For people who are always alone, no matter how hard | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| chosen as your spiritual co-worker, because not all people who come here know each other very well | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| you can open a door to the very people you had hoped to convince and were unable | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| to prove themselves right all the time. Many people may lack the courage to put this in | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| earth within the different religious organizations via certain people of a particular church, the Plan of Salvation | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| spirits cannot overcome the human dogmas; unless those people heard the truth from highly developed incarnated spirits | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| convictions. But if these happen to be stubborn people, very much indoctrinated with their own beliefs, they | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| untrue. Since free will is never violated, these people are free to go with those spirits who | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| be expected of you in your incarnation. If people are atheists, they will be judged according to | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| one's previous incarnations, merits, omissions, and so forth. People may have been atheists and still have accomplished | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| and this counts in their favor. So those people will be in the sphere that belongs to | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| instincts are still low and coarse. Now such people may be tempted to give in to these | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this temptation can be overcome, even though such people do not believe in God, but have merely | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| may be of infinitely greater merit than what people of higher development acquire. What counts is the | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| attitude. This holds true not only for those people who are very new to the Pathwork. As | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| their own inner makeup. This applies even to people who have discovered many truths and who are | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| only a reflection of the inner one. Yet people so often have the wrong attitude; in a | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| continue to disregard. It is true that many people who are spiritually not very advanced as yet | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| involved in it -- fear that perhaps other people do not do what you wish or do | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| no longer concerns you alone. There are other people involved, and if you disappoint them in any | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| human side for a long time, but on people who at best take your help for granted | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| can be harmful if it is done by people who do not understand how to handle it | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| is done. QUESTION: It seems that so many people have a different interpretation of the word love | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| accept something from you than from certain other people he has access to, also in the spiritual | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| Of course, where spiritual awareness is still lacking, people often think that these goals can be found | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| either in financial terms or through emotional ties. People also seek happiness, love, and security by reaching | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| would like to emphasize that the less other people know about your sacrifice when you do it | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| God, and you should recognize this danger. Other people may think that their problems cannot ever be | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| not so difficult to find out, even for people who do not receive these particular teachings and | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| not receive these particular teachings and personal guidance. People who find God in any of the current | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| of the current existing religions or philosophies and people who are not particularly close to God, who | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| in which you cannot change circumstances or other people. People are inclined to revolt inwardly when things | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| which you cannot change circumstances or other people. People are inclined to revolt inwardly when things do | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| go according to their will and when other people are wrong. Then an active movement begins to | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| passive? You cannot change this world or other people, my friends. In your intellect you may know | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| change, namely the actions and attitudes of other people and circumstances outside your control. Accept these really | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| has been given to you than to other people, but because you have not managed your household | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| However, you can even control circumstances and other people the moment you start allowing your wrong overactive | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| you and indirectly affect the subconscious of other people. And that effect will come back to you | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| with clean and pure motives to help other people. These good motives exist indubitably. At the same | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| a free person can do that. Conversely, if people constantly decide to use their little self-will, they | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| divine law, the more enslaved you must become. People who do not recognize their hidden motives cannot | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| deep within and yet is conscious. Now, if people desire to do their best, to fulfill their | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| behind in development that war is necessary, then people have to fight for their country. Even if | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| to fight for their country. Even if all people refused to fight, evil would not be eliminated | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| that abuse free will and divine law. If people take the power upon themselves to prevent other | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| take the power upon themselves to prevent other people from living as God wants them to live | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| is often the last resort. And even the people living in the aggressor nation are often convinced | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| lack of self- knowledge, and as long as people do not purify themselves and strive upward to | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| strive upward to God, and as long as people cannot refine their feelings, there cannot be peace | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| your motives. You all make mistakes in judgment. People have very firm opinions about any subject from | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| The moment these opinions are fanatical and inflexible, people should test their real inner motives and then | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| not think that because the majority of the people around you believe this is all superstition, that | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| true, but that may be enough for some people; perhaps not enough for you. You know that | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| will not be granted to you by the people around you. So you must give up the | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| easy excuses: the faults and imperfections of other people are supposed to be responsible for your own | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| child, and I will answer you. Though some people may enter the path with such a slightly | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| If you become happy, you must make other people happy. And when I say happy, I do | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| authority and therefore easy to believe. How many people accept something said by a respected authority and | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| will make it so much easier for the people around you to actually give you the love | 31 SHAME |
| understanding. No matter how incapable of love the people around you may be, you would never feel | 31 SHAME |
| did you ever really own it. For such people find themselves in exactly the same spot as | 31 SHAME |
| person who can help you. Then choose the people with whom you are really close and those | 31 SHAME |
| to a qualified person and then to the people you are really close to. For as long | 31 SHAME |
| of purification -- manage to guide and inspire people to create situations which afford you the opportunity | 31 SHAME |
| into the open what you do know. Most people carry hidden unconscious factors equally active as the | 31 SHAME |
| to choose to open up to the right people, because he will never know who the right | 31 SHAME |
| because he will never know who the right people are. The intuition is lacking, as well as | 31 SHAME |
| you, a lack of being able to accept people as they are. You should be able to | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| I mean that you have chosen as most people do -- immaturely, with half-closed eyes, not accepting | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| amounts to greed. On this earth sphere most people are greedy, not necessarily in the material sense | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| its existence on the negative side. But the people around you often know. When they voice this | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| to have more, to be more. Often, overambitious people have such a strong desire current that they | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| personally since this feeling exists in so many people. In other words, there is self- will; your | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| bad, even the apparently pleasant ones. However, some people, through pride and defiance, choose an unfavorable one | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| will prevent you from being hurt unnecessarily, for people who are in any deviation of spiritual law | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| this hour. Many good, kind and even spiritual people say, when hearing these lectures, that it is | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| would be better to think more about other people. They say, occupation with the self leads to | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| or in what way one thinks about other people. It is wrong to think about yourself in | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| it is infinitely healthier to think of other people by helping them, by giving up some selfishness | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| It all depends on how it is done. People so often deceive themselves when they are in | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| respect too, my dear friends. Spiritually highly developed people may use all their efforts in self-sacrifice for | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| However, even more is expected of just such people because their spiritual development would warrant it. And | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| is an indispensable requirement for spiritual development. Some people may neglect this part of their task and | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| as compared to spiritual truth and law. For people who do not know themselves cannot know others | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| and be compassionate with others. But how many people, even spiritual people, do just the opposite! They | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| with others. But how many people, even spiritual people, do just the opposite! They ignore so many | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| However, the more you fight inwardly against other people as they are right now, the more you | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| too, my dear friends! So learn to accept people as they are and become tolerant of faults | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| to know yourself thoroughly can you accept other people better, understand them better, and love them better | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| he loves. This is another of the masks people so often put on. Real tolerance and real | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| consciously think so. Your emotional reactions to other people may amount to that. Test yourself in this | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| like to discuss two aspects of faith. Many people are sincere in their endeavors to pursue spiritual | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| Another aspect of faith is this: There are people who have complete faith, as complete as can | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| is stronger than it is in others. In people of this kind there often is an unrecognized | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| yourself nearer and dearer to God than other people? The root of this feeling may even exist | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| root of this feeling may even exist in people whose faith is not real as yet. But | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| You will often find a particular intolerance in people who feel themselves specially loved by God. There | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| one whom you like least of all the people you know; or one who particularly irritates you | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| these decisions are not always good. There are people who tend to be lazy; they lack ambition | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| that of another, or the fates of two people you know. If you seem to bear a | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| present and even more so. As two normal people would not argue whether a round table in | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| as well as possible, when one of the people is still on earth. This can happen in | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| in the purification process. This is exactly why people on a spiritual path often display at certain | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| place. QUESTION: We have now two and-a-half billion people on this earth. According to any reliable census | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| plans. Different clairvoyants, seers, or otherwise psychically gifted people have seen one plan, others have seen another | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| can observe this trend already. Some time ago, people killed each other just because they thought differently | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| Today, humanity has come far enough, so that people begin to tolerate one another. They still feel | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| has said, he did not come to destroy. People will change from within, gradually, in the only | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| Since humanity as a whole is farther advanced, people may accomplish more in one lifetime--and that works | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| are not concerned with a large quantity of people who may sit and listen and not really | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| of His creatures could lift a finger. Many people seek God in the wrong way. I will | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| Test your emotions and your fears of other people, the hazards and risks of life and love | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| right thing. But if you withdraw from other people, if you withdraw in fear from your own | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| God is always by learning to love other people. As you know, this is a long road | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| it not happened in your life that other people loved you as best they knew how, but | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| forms vary with each individual, for no two people are alike or have the same outer manifestation | 36 PRAYER |
| can be accomplished. Now what is prayer? Many people have no questions about it; they just take | 36 PRAYER |
| well as eventually in your physical body. Most people are not capable of cultivating compassionate and good | 36 PRAYER |
| are not praying. When something goes wrong, most people are unable to feel what they can sincerely | 36 PRAYER |
| so as yet. At the beginning, for some people this is difficult even in prayer, but eventually | 36 PRAYER |
| be prayer. Oh, I know there are many people, particularly nowadays, who force themselves to think positive | 36 PRAYER |
| the effect instead of going to the cause. People often do not bring into focus what is | 36 PRAYER |
| will automatically have a more humble attitude. Even people who constantly blame others and the world, or | 36 PRAYER |
| emotional currents and their entire outlook on life. People who feel their ego to be the center | 36 PRAYER |
| everything from a subjective point of view. Such people -- many of whom also display goodwill toward | 36 PRAYER |
| is still struggling against good wishes for certain people. In this way, you will not be living | 36 PRAYER |
| is right? ANSWER: You cannot generalize. For some people it is right to do it one way | 36 PRAYER |
| not necessarily have to be the time. Some people may find another time of the day better | 36 PRAYER |
| truly declared for God! But how few such people are there in your world! Some of you | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| willingness to sacrifice something important for God. Many people have mistakenly interpreted the law that governs a | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| the good and the real. You, and many people like you, are unable to discriminate between the | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| not want to accept it. Test these feelings. People often think that by being negative and pessimistic | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| -- the exact opposite of dignity. Spiritually unawakened people easily mix up the two. Be careful, my | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| often establish a bond of love between two people at odds. Try to find the common denominator | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| form -- or image. You might contend that people can also have positive, healthy images engraved on | 38 IMAGES |
| an image exists. I have sometimes mentioned that people love some of their faults. How and why | 38 IMAGES |
| friends; it is equally important to understand that people and events can be drawn to a person | 38 IMAGES |
| arbitrary fate is testing you, or that other people are responsible for your repeated mishaps. You therefore | 38 IMAGES |
| certain incidents do not form an image in people who are free of a particular conflict. Yet | 38 IMAGES |
| say, How can I be responsible for other people repeatedly acting in certain ways toward me? As | 38 IMAGES |
