| my friends feel an inner echo and an understanding of these words which go beyond a mere | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| and theoretical grasp of the subject. Sometimes this understanding comes only a bit later, when the necessary | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| ascertained only when you know both kinds of understanding. When the inner experience of truth is lacking | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |

| is not sufficient to gain, or have gained, understanding of your images and misconceptions, nor how and | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |

| Through establishing contact with the hidden unconscious and understanding the language of your unconscious obstructions, you develop | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| escaping, instead of being used for self-detection and understanding the meaning of destructive elements. All this does | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |

| God! 127. EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING Greetings, my dearest friends. Blessings for everyone | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| you gain, blind reflexes cease, and you reach understanding. Offhand, you may wonder what the difference is | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| them do, how they react because of it. Understanding the hostility means understanding why it exists, what | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| react because of it. Understanding the hostility means understanding why it exists, what first brought it into | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| On what false assumptions is the hostility based? Understanding what one has previously become aware of means | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| They must yield a deeply felt reality. Once understanding has been reached, the individual is ready to | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| past has brought us to the phase of understanding. Each person's work must vary, for in certain | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| for in certain areas you may have reached understanding -- or even inklings of the following stage | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| not remain just that. Are you cultivating the understanding of what you have become aware of? The | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| is knowing. There is a great difference between understanding and knowing. Understanding means ascertaining the causes and | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| is a great difference between understanding and knowing. Understanding means ascertaining the causes and effects of negative | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| patterns, destructive emotions, and false ideas. It means understanding that these elements are damaging because one is | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| somehow immersed in illusion and misconception. But this understanding is not the same as knowing. I advisedly | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| within and around you. Knowing is not theoretical understanding. It is experiencing the truth. Knowing the truth | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| discussed. It means becoming aware of blind reflexes; understanding why they exist and what they cause; knowing | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| other phases of the path happens here too. Understanding brings a relief from tension, fear, and anxiety | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| resisted. It is now welcome instead of frightening. Understanding the truth means a great deal, but it | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| to speak and how to be quiet. Merely understanding others' motives -- their truth -- will not | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| will not give you this faculty. Your merely understanding is certainly better than no understanding, but it | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| Your merely understanding is certainly better than no understanding, but it does not prevent you from blundering | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| this path -- to awareness, by degrees; to understanding, by degrees; to knowingness -- at first in | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| fearful withdrawal from life causes a lack of understanding and knowing. As long as you withdraw in | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| it is to come near the threshold between understanding and knowing. Perhaps you could say something about | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| see yet where and how change is possible. Understanding gives this outlook. Knowing has accomplished it and | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| you. Blessed be this lecture. Blessed be your understanding, so that you can properly assimilate the contents | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| undertaken before the pathwork brings you to this understanding. You may have discovered many an image, have | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| begin to manifest, first giving you still deeper understanding, and then strengthening you so that you begin | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| of still being fenced in by a limited understanding of spiritual reality. Yes, that requires effort, too | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| contradiction. On the one hand, through a deeper understanding of yourself and spiritual law you begin to | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| above all, application to yourself, so that your understanding will not be general and theoretical only. You | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| and death. This will give you a better understanding of a lecture I gave a few years | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| no matter how unhappy you are now, by understanding this now, you must be happy. Conversely, no | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| to disappear by erroneous assumptions on your part. Understanding the truth is extremely important. When you discover | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| experience it at the moment. This knowledge, the understanding of this principle, will bring you nearer to | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| of this principle, will bring you nearer to understanding your particular momentary untruth and the truth behind | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| the inner personality by deliberate formulation and profound understanding of truth, as opposed to untruth. Reorientation of | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| finally given up. Whenever you come to this understanding, the second type of impressing is necessary. Without | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| type of impressing is necessary. Without it, the understanding fades away after a while and your old | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| can now approach this problem with a new understanding. Ask yourself: Am I willing to take a | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| and intent. It plays a necessary part in understanding that it has a false idea; that it | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| create the guilt, you will have a profound understanding and experience of your basic problem. The self-punishment | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| you may shed the patterns anyway in the understanding that at any time you have the right | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |

| fearless love for all creation, a security, an understanding of self and others, an ease in letting | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| it eventually. You acknowledged it first without even understanding why you were afraid, and then realized that | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| core of one's feelings or reactions, and thereby understanding their true significance, is the art and the | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| lecture I would like to present a deeper understanding of evil, which will be extremely helpful for | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| no longer helpless. My dearest friends, the absorption, understanding, the knowing and experiencing of all this is | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| every one of you. May the strength of understanding contained in these blessings aid you in assimilating | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| with your outer, but also with your inner understanding. All of you, during the course of this | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| until recently unconscious, but now conscious concepts, values, understanding of life and yourself, as well as your | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| both guilt and shame will be removed. As understanding grows, the pleasure principle will gradually respond to | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| the extent that you succeed in facing and understanding your conflict, the pleasure principle will run in | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| and can be rechanneled only through awareness and understanding. The very nature of this conflict is that | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| remove another brick from that separating wall. More understanding, more life must result, so that eventually you | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| of you. Blessed be this evening. May your understanding of this lecture open your mind and your | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| direct creation of the individual. Just because this understanding could be immediate and near, it seems distant | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| and self-generating negative attitudes and will make the understanding of the undesirable situation more realistic as it | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |

| the negative as a passing stage, in the understanding that it is the effect of an inadvertent | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| behaves that way. For the moment this objective understanding sets you free, makes you strong, gives you | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| other words, the self-perpetuating principle of insight and understanding has been set in motion. But then the | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| aspects of being, everything exists in both right understanding and distortion. It is the same with the | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| to do the work with a more exact understanding of how self-perpetuating force fields operate. This will | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| your psyche and come to fruition later. Full understanding of this lecture may reach you only as | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| The unified state of consciousness is attained through understanding or knowingness. Life on the dualistic plane is | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| therefore, immediately, the friend becomes wrong. With dualistic understanding issues can only be either/or. The outcome seems | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| about yourself and the other, you increase your understanding of the laws of communication. The more vision | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| difficulties and makes their elimination easier through this understanding. The vibrant peace that comes from this extended | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| The vibrant peace that comes from this extended understanding is of lasting value. It affects your self-realization | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| described is a typical example of unified, intuitive understanding: of knowing the truth. After the initial apparent | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| cannot come about by accumulated knowledge and theoretical understanding, by study or aiming at an outer goal | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| are crumbling. When you encourage this in your understanding, you will go with the stream instead of | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| psyche. Again, this cannot be accomplished by theoretical understanding, but only by actually experiencing those areas where | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| with your heart this difference -- and this understanding is what really counts. Judging, moralizing, and perfectionism | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| whole story. You cannot come to the full understanding of this discussion without the third topic. Before | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| the self is not geared to a universal understanding as yet. Eventually they will see that there | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| great deal of difference between facing the negativity, understanding that here I am negating rather than affirming | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| attention will focus more clearly, and with more understanding the difference will become more obvious. You will | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| upon them when it is necessary to the understanding of the whole topic. First I will state | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| you tried to force it away without this understanding. All this may sound very theoretical to the | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| civilizations at certain periods of their history. However, understanding the spiritual truth in this matter makes it | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| -- vision that was hitherto blocked. May your understanding grow so that you sense your own distortions | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| perceive its reality. With its help, a deep understanding of this lecture will enable you to make | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
