| similar to certain psychometric readings by people who believe that they can determine the aura from a | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| is good or bad in itself. Do not believe this fallacy. The best thing that could happen | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| one and the same. Yet you do not believe that it could be possible in this wonderful | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| think, is incredible. This is something you cannot believe. But why not, my friends? Why is it | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| my friends? Why is it so hard to believe? It is certainly not unimaginable that creatures of | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| it should be, it is highly illogical to believe that it is impossible. If God has created | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| truth is, my friends, whether you want to believe it now or not, that Jesus, the man | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| words are true, even if you do not believe that a spirit talks to you, a spirit | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| to you. Do not be stubborn. Do not believe that this means giving in or showing lack | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| this hour. My dear friends, most of you believe that when I give a lecture I freely | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| not show on the surface. For do not believe that something you are unaware of does not | 21 THE FALL |
| more come than stay and actually do it. Believe me, this does not happen at the cost | 21 THE FALL |
| almost completely misunderstood what salvation is. Many people believe that Christ died on the cross for the | 22 SALVATION |
| in so doing he organized all his helpers. Believe me, Lucifer is by no means stupid, even | 22 SALVATION |
| physical anymore. QUESTION: The other question is: I believe you said in a lecture once that the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| tell you the way it is. You can believe it or not. It is not correct that | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| happen, the only way, my friends! And I believe that this must make sense to you. And | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to face yourself with the truth, and rather believe you are living and feeling and thinking in | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| cease as quickly as you would like to believe. I might say at this point that a | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| important layer is your subconscious mind. Do not believe that what is in the subconscious is so | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| answer you provided your heart is really open. Believe me, my friends, all this is neither as | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |

| unclear to some of you? QUESTION: No, I believe the passage in Isaiah may be a wrong | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| is really behind them. Some of you may believe that a certain amount of time and effort | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| fear that your finances may suffer. Another may believe that not enough time remains to enjoy life | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| be they positive or negative. So do not believe that it is sufficient to be merely a | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| know you really well. No matter what they believe, they will respect you for your sincere endeavor | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| issue is not so much what religion you believe in, but whether or not you fulfill the | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |

| Acknowledge your true reactions instead of making yourself believe you react in another way and for reasons | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| is not quite as difficult as you may believe, provided you truly desire and choose to do | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| You see, my dear friends, many of you believe in God but many of you also have | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| resistance to delving into your own soul. You believe that if you disregard the corner of doubt | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| that one part of you that does not believe in God and even sincerely wants to strengthen | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| not be half as frightening as you now believe once you do face it. Coming back to | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| dear ones, that is already a step forward, believe it or not! In this way your innermost | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| strength properly and not waste it. Do not believe for one moment that those who appear weak | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| said that it is not only wrong to believe that you have to be passive in order | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| deviates from your conscious desires. But do not believe that because of this conflict you are despicable | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| because the majority of the people around you believe this is all superstition, that it cannot be | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| and that they are absolutely right. Do not believe that it is this human being's unconscious that | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| exist in this high sphere, you would not believe it, for you have a very limited perceptive | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| is certainly essential on this path. Do not believe that there is a human being alive who | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| I do not mean the happiness that you believe would be yours if the desires of your | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| if I could see an angel, I would believe. But you do not listen to the words | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| to be an authority and therefore easy to believe. How many people accept something said by a | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| spirits themselves to decide whether they want to believe what is communicated to them or not. They | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| value, and therefore it is good that they believe these ideas come to them from someone on | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| love God do not mean merely that you believe in God or that you profess to love | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
