| some of the listeners and readers while also being useful for others, depending upon the degree of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| may understand it as much as any human being is capable of understanding, I have to discuss | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| be put into words. Particularly for a human being, it is impossible to sense, to perceive, let | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| other holds that God is not of substance, being solely principle and force. As I have already | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| ability exists also to some extent in every being. This divine substance which God possesses to a | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| aspect is prevalent. It is the state of being and the state of slow growth and organic | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| they merge with God in a state of being. With their male aspect prevalent, they help in | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| was asked, Why did God create these beings? Being all-knowing, He must have realized that misery could | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| beings. Here, the divine substance of each created being was freely active, and not covered by foreign | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is not one being, nor is it part of a threefold God | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| came to cover the divine substance that each being originally was. This is the subject of the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| identical with God the Creator. God is a being and what you possess within you is of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| capable of uniting with God and therefore of being one with God. No substance that is unlike | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| to confuse the Godlike substance in each created being with that of the Creator Himself. People often | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| blind. Happiness can only exist for any created being through union with God. And to be in | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| would be unlike God and thus incapable of being in union with Him. Free will and free | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| may not find it possible anymore to resist being swept away by it, dissolves under the growing | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| as you understand it now. Therefore, each human being has its counterpart. The human urge to find | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| for reunion with one's separated other part. Every being passes certain incarnations with its true double or | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| or division. The human condition, the state of being split in half, so to speak, is the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| individual and different. Thus, different spheres came into being within the world of darkness, always corresponding to | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| respect. Let us suppose, for instance, that a being in its perfect state had the particular characteristic | 21 THE FALL |
| and detached reflection. These attributes would enable the being to further the divine creation in a particular | 21 THE FALL |
| the vast difference between these two ways of being and understand the dignity that lies in the | 21 THE FALL |
| itself according to the attitude of each individual being on this plane possessing the power of free | 21 THE FALL |
| that works and manifests itself in each created being not only produced animals, plants, and minerals, but | 21 THE FALL |
| which cannot be fully understood by any human being, for both human language and human understanding are | 21 THE FALL |
| since according to universal law an individual human being has to make the first step in order | 21 THE FALL |
| one time, but the influence of one such being outweighs by far the strength and influence of | 21 THE FALL |
| different terms -- designates a special type of being in the divine world. All created beings had | 21 THE FALL |
| and the purpose of creation was that each being would complement the creation by furthering other aspects | 21 THE FALL |
| only come to its full conclusion as each being perfects himself or herself in all ways. Now | 21 THE FALL |
| harmony you all long for in your innermost being. No matter what path you choose, if it | 21 THE FALL |
| and ego and vanity exist in every human being and are the strongest hindrances to perfection, faith | 21 THE FALL |
| how much you may be helped, no created being is anything without God. The higher developed a | 21 THE FALL |
| yourself you are nothing. And the highest created being in existence, Christ himself, has said so, time | 21 THE FALL |
| the spirit? ANSWER: The spirit is the ultimate being, the indestructible being that lives eternally. The soul | 21 THE FALL |
| The spirit is the ultimate being, the indestructible being that lives eternally. The soul is one of | 21 THE FALL |
| so again in the future. For the time being, I only wish to say this: If you | 22 SALVATION |
| to follow through. I also explained that each being put into creation by God was created perfectly | 22 SALVATION |
| God was created perfectly in one way. Each being represented one divine aspect. The purpose was for | 22 SALVATION |
| perfection into other realms. Let us say one being was perfect in love, another in wisdom, and | 22 SALVATION |
| over his followers. If, for instance, a human being, due to a changing attitude and growing harmony | 22 SALVATION |
| each one of you and with every human being. Wherever there are faults, weaknesses and blindness, corresponding | 22 SALVATION |
| you have built. Any relatively highly developed human being might thus inhabit a number of light spheres | 22 SALVATION |
| to one. If you have one absolutely purified being against twenty very impure beings, the strength of | 22 SALVATION |
| impure beings, the strength of this one pure being would outweigh the strength of the twenty impure | 22 SALVATION |
| still not recognize the law of God as being just. As you know from my previous lectures | 22 SALVATION |
| I would fight such a war if one being -- from the world of God, if you | 22 SALVATION |
| you and I will recognize God's laws as being utterly just. You must know, my friends, that | 22 SALVATION |
| You must know, my friends, that every living being has at all times guardian spirits from the | 22 SALVATION |
| indeed an impossible task to fulfill. No human being had ever had to go through anything remotely | 22 SALVATION |
| up for him to recognize God's laws as being just. If this seemingly impossible task were really | 22 SALVATION |
| possess some knowledge since He is the highest being in creation. In addition, He had a great | 22 SALVATION |
| himself, who made himself appear as a beautiful being, offering Christ all the worldly advantages He might | 22 SALVATION |
| everything, about His true identity, and about there being any wise and good purpose in undergoing all | 22 SALVATION |
| hard it must have been for Him -- being a man and having matter between Him and | 22 SALVATION |
| fully experienced at a later period, when a being finally declares: My path leads to God. I | 22 SALVATION |

| of development. The same applies to the human being or to the physical substance. The lower the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| substance. The lower the development, the blinder the being must be. The earth sphere is just a | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| possible. This material world was, and still is being created in the same way as many other | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| anyone anyway. You cannot do injustice to another being, but you can harm yourself by violating the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| be kept undiluted by spreading from one human being to another, from one generation to another. He | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| of glory -- there are three -- before being able to speak in openness, face-to-face to the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| according to law -- unless special measures are being taken for special purposes -- alters and assimilates | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| in whatever world you live in. Therefore, a being has to learn first of all to discriminate | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| measures. Yet as a rule, whenever a higher being manifests to beings of lower development, they show | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of you have wondered whether a spirit, before being ready for incarnation, has to go through these | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| occurred. It is not only that the one being, the dual being, split into half, but as | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| Plan of Salvation. Are there any new spirits being created and do pure spirits still fall or | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| such things, you would be well justified in being suspicious and doubtful, even though you might undoubtedly | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| that your lower self is not your ultimate being. However, in psychoanalysis the mistaken idea that they | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| they accept only what is considered abstract as being part of the spirit world. They forget that | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| is almost never the case with a human being, but it is possible for spirits -- or | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| wonder why certain races do not suffer from being different from others. Then you might ask, What | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| need to learn the responsibility that arises from being spared sufferings that other peoples may have. Besides | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |

| these two currents and learn for the time being to accept your present imperfection in comparison with | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |

| these particular orders of the lightforces. Your basic being is part of one of these lightforces and | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |

| Do not believe that there is a human being alive who is entirely free of self-will, pride | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
