| if you turn away from your own inner reality -- your temporary reality of this present time | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| from your own inner reality -- your temporary reality of this present time -- this layer is | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |

| who is the living God and the greatest reality of all, truly exists, then, paradoxically you can | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |

| Until such time, God will not be a reality for you, no matter how much you speak | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| be something vaguely abstract and not a living reality in your everyday life. Therefore, I say to | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| from theory into practice and from unreality into reality. Once you have sacrificed your self-will and therefore | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| self-will and therefore God has become a profound reality for you, all your doubts will cease. Many | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |

| the wrong kind of shame, you do escape reality, for what your emotions express is that you | 31 SHAME |

| those who have no more doubts about the reality of reincarnation should consider this as an additional | 38 IMAGES |
| world of fear and shame that has no reality whatever. Remember that. Thus, my dear friends, you | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| can no longer connect with the feeling of reality you have tasted at other times. The disconnection | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| myself from? How did it work out in reality? And how would my life work if I | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| scientific improvement must lead to the same spiritual reality as self- knowledge, no matter how much science | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| shame you are so busily hiding have no reality, and yet spoil the life you could enjoy | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| and mistrust you have for others is in reality nothing but the distrust that you have for | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| wrong conclusions derive, first, from the generalization. The reality is that not all people have the same | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| your conscious goals, as well as with the reality of life. This must be understandable to all | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| of your control and cannot be adjusted to reality. Thus they are inflexible and rigid. Therefore, your | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| is manifest. This he thinks he knows. In reality he covers up a very different emotion of | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| is not true loving. True love can see reality. If you are ready to love in the | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |

| useful for my friends to hear what the reality is. The erotic force is one of the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| such trends by simply forcing them away. In reality you only cover them up and therefore give | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| that you would rid yourself of it. In reality, however, in this hidden nucleus lies the very | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| your material substance. So this wall is a reality and, alas, often a greater reality than your | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| is a reality and, alas, often a greater reality than your matter. For your matter is much | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| any bearing on the now. It is utter reality, accessible to you any time if you choose | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| true for the soul. You cannot escape this reality, my friends. You have the choice either of | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| not exist. This path is one of utter reality; there are no fairy tales. The reality I | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |

| In the last analysis, in absolute truth and reality, you have caused it. You have to find | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| for evil or the anti-divine is, unfortunately, a reality in your world. Closing your eyes to reality | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| reality in your world. Closing your eyes to reality is unreasonable. Of course, when you look for | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| your sexual drive with the one and only reality and remedy in the universe -- love. You | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| is impossible to live up to it in reality. This little inner voice argues, If I am | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| way a second conscience is being created. In reality only one conscience does exist: it is the | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| for by the artificial and over-demanding conscience; in reality no one needs to be punished. As you | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| plan can never be immoral or unethical in reality. At times it may appear to be so | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| wrong can never do you any harm in reality, but only so long as you prevail in | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| but your wrong attitude in such circumstances. In reality a breakdown is a childish temper tantrum -- | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| will arise, since life as it is in reality does not correspond to the unconscious image and | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| have to face, the more do you escape reality and thereby inflict harm on your soul. The | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| instance, people's fears of life and love, of reality, of self-responsibility all lead to separateness. What this | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| a disadvantage or hurt to another can in reality never be fruitful for you. It may appear | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| You often believe something is selfish that in reality has nothing to do with selfishness. But when | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| have recognized its existence, but by seeing its reality at the point where you are. When you | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| You will become objective, you will be in reality. The mere awareness of this part of your | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| and the inability to follow it through in reality would increase your feelings of failure and guilt | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| to come to terms with the world of reality, accepting it in exchange for the world of | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| nonacceptance of life as it is in your reality, namely a mixture of both pain and pleasure | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| the surface will not find either truth or reality. Many of you are capable of judging profoundly | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| getting worse, feeling more depressed, more confused. In reality it is part of the growth that can | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| stand nowhere, and God will never be a reality for you. This principle applies also to the | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the parents had harmed the child, nevertheless, in reality it is not so. The universe would be | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of the manifest world of matter. But in reality you are not dependent and influenced. As I | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| great difference between man and woman. However, in reality the difference is not half as great as | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| and God, between humanity and spiritual truth and reality, between people, or between man and woman. Love | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| take them as a figure of speech. In reality the process of the birth of an idea | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| not allowing you to be happy, while in reality it is your wrong conclusion about happiness that | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| and rationalizations. This very conflict is the underlying reality of your hopelessness. Were your misconception true, happiness | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| consciously or unconsciously, so advantageous and desirable: In reality selfishness cannot offer any advantage to you, even | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| in the long run. It is divorced from reality. As long as you see only the first | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |

| point of view of spiritual truth and spiritual reality, there are no big and little issues. The | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Little do you realize that, in truth and reality, your inner deviations and errors affect and involve | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the doubts are the following: Is God a reality or is this a universe where everything is | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the other. This need not be so in reality, because the very parent who appears to reject | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| give you strength by enabling you to approach reality. It is of utmost importance that you begin | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| to exorcise this phantom world and live in reality. Only the real you can live in it | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| unreal concepts, cannot live in a world of reality. You will live in freedom; you will no | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| of unreality. You may term it a temporary reality. The things you experience, the deductions you make | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| earth plane and the spiritual laws of absolute reality where these same deductions and conclusions are wrong | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| weapon, or rather, a pseudo-defensive weapon, for in reality it has the very opposite effect. Once you | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| and therefore you lose the sense of its reality. You are all on the way toward experiencing | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| the error, you have a true concept of reality, you can love without fear, and therefore you | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| in the illusion, but they have no absolute reality. The moment you raise your consciousness, you are | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| of the illusion; it no longer has any reality whatsoever. Even when you see error in others | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| Actually, error, or sin, has no effect on reality at all; it only affects those who still | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| the liberated spirit who lives in the absolute reality of the spirit world. If human beings were | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |

| for all of you, be in God! 71. REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES Greetings, my dear friends | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
