| can look inside to ascertain how deep the wish really is. For here too you may deceive | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| -- though in your mind you may indeed wish him or her well -- that is, as | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |

| unfulfilled longing is basically nothing else but the wish to return to God, that is, to religion | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| The more a person is aware of this wish, the more peacefully and harmoniously the soul currents | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |

| the recognition of His truth. If you sincerely wish to perfect yourself -- and therefore first to | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |

| will give a very brief outline. Whenever you wish to use these channels only for contact with | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |

| Your thoughts will be guided slowly, provided the wish for truth is sincere and not superficial. This | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| to first recognize the half-hearted nature of the wish, so as not to fool yourself into believing | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |

| dear friends, I would like to fulfill a wish of some of my friends and, as an | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |
| doubts. For these inevitable times of doubt I wish to give you, my friends, some simple advice | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| that tells you the truth, and should you wish additional answers, formulate your feelings and ask God | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| is profound wisdom and divine law. Now I wish to talk about a much disputed subject among | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| to be happy. This is a most natural wish, which comes from the higher self as well | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| the spiritual angle on this subject. And I wish to inform you that my next lecture will | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| Him, to serve our brothers and sisters. This wish must not only come from the intellect as | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| a dutiful recognition of the right thing; this wish alone, or rather its fulfillment, will bring happiness | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| your inner currents still deviate from what you wish them to be. As you do so, and | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| -- the only one, my dear! If your wish is recognized in the spirit world, if you | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| more things in the coming decades. Tonight I wish to speak about the influence between the spiritual | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| answer from God that is contrary to my wish, then how does it tie in with the | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| But when a certain development is reached, the wish of the higher self pushes you. And again | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| law is sin -- or ignorance, if you wish. They are the same. Now, you may want | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| say unfoldment, I mean that the love you wish to give forth is already within you. You | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| start out from the premise that you will wish above all to fulfill the will of God | 18 FREE WILL |
| is a question in you whether what you wish is in accordance with the will of God | 18 FREE WILL |
| do your best. This is certainly a legitimate wish. To be without desire in this respect would | 18 FREE WILL |
| your inner motives in complete honesty. Do you wish to do your best because you desire gratification | 18 FREE WILL |
| plexus as opposed to the brain? ANSWER: A wish can come from the intellect or the brain | 18 FREE WILL |
| is attained, you will feel that you can wish and even think in the region of your | 18 FREE WILL |
| Whoever has a thought, an idea, or a wish evolving from the spiritual field will be completely | 18 FREE WILL |
| life. And according to your own will and wish, you will remain in the state you have | 18 FREE WILL |
| to, for that is not necessary unless you wish to do so. But consider that my words | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| adding certain supplementary details later on. I do wish to stress most emphatically that this lecture touches | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| that this would be so, but did not wish to remember after he had succumbed. The result | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| means a path of suffering for those who wish to get out of the self-created miserable circumstances | 21 THE FALL |
| the future. For the time being, I only wish to say this: If you still lack the | 22 SALVATION |
| to speak to you and confirm what you wish to know if you are receptive, if you | 22 SALVATION |
| so and so many spirits who do not wish to remain faithful to you. They desire to | 22 SALVATION |
| -- from the world of God, if you wish -- would live on earth like a man | 22 SALVATION |
| does. I have explained this already. If you wish, I can answer it again, tonight or at | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| answer as thoroughly as some of you may wish, for we can see that taking up time | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| importance we will spend more time. I also wish to inform you that I plan a new | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a development course. For many friends here sincerely wish to advance spiritually and yet do not quite | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and effect. And if you really and truly wish to find out -- without shirking from the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| on the emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels you wish for a palace for the price of a | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| answered. I can promise you that if your wish is sincere, you will be guided. As far | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| clearly into your daily meditation, and if your wish is truly sincere, you have made the best | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| It is in your own hands. If you wish for this power, you will receive it. No | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| perhaps other people do not do what you wish or do not react according to your liking | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| given yourself the answer, thus clearly establishing your wish and preference, ask yourself, Is what I want | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| is something in my life that God may wish to change? And then prepare yourself for the | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| you but conflicting desires as well. You often wish at one and the same time for two | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| right procedure is to decide wholeheartedly that you wish to find all the motives behind the conscious | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| than good. With this I certainly do not wish to give the impression that I advocate war | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| conditions are met by the human beings who wish to establish such communication. That in some cases | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| you have put into your soul, what you wish cannot be fulfilled, at least not at this | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| you learn humility. The moment you do not wish to appear better or more than you are | 31 SHAME |
| ashamed of your faults. Most of them you wish you did not have. However, there is also | 31 SHAME |
| you are loving the wrong way. Now I wish to speak on another subject. The subject of | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| to which plan has come true. Again, I wish to emphasize that the fact that life can | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| and enlightenment. We have many good reasons to wish for the proper organization of such a service | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| do not pray. In prayer you may sincerely wish well those who have hurt you. Outside of | 36 PRAYER |
| unless they are in prayer. I do not wish to imply that everyone who prays goes to | 36 PRAYER |
| Then try to observe your feelings when you wish them happiness. Do not deceive yourself. Say to | 36 PRAYER |
| to your questions, there are two things I wish to say to you. The first is that | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| recognize some of your wrong attitudes, and you wish to change them with all the willpower at | 38 IMAGES |
| For instance, your inability to change what you wish to change or certain kinds of events that | 38 IMAGES |
| invite them. In fact, consciously you may fervently wish for the very opposite of your image. But | 38 IMAGES |
| not realize that its attitude prohibits the very wish you consciously express but cannot fulfill. The price | 38 IMAGES |
| will you have acquired the humility not to wish for protection from the risks and hardships of | 38 IMAGES |
| faults? The answer must invariably be, Because I wish to be more than I am, more perfect | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| mean that I revolt against unhappiness and I wish for change but I am unwilling to bring | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| desires. When things do not happen as you wish, you kick and scream inside, like the baby | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| action. But he may in the next incarnation wish to kill without doing so, suppressing his desires | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| up to examine yourself. Again, if you truly wish to find out what is in you, God | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| that to stay separate is almost a conscious wish. With many of you it is this way | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| that to stay separate is almost a conscious wish. With many of you it is this way | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Thus will you cultivate the very change you wish to accomplish. To know yourself, my friends, to | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| of these reactions lies a desire. If you wish to find out who you are, you must | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| turn them into thoughts, and then, if you wish, you turn these thoughts into actions. Thus you | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| child. This authority denies the child many a wish fulfillment. Therefore, authority seems hostile. No matter how | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| strong liking for order and organization and a wish for peace rather than for fighting, along with | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| mounts because in your ignorance you think and wish to attain perfection more expeditiously by simply erecting | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| restricting forces that prohibit your doing what you wish. Authority can also be represented for you personally | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| you sincerely consider the other person, because you wish to bring happiness and love into your surroundings | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| have hurt, take the justified guilt upon yourself, wish to become different, desire to give up your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| self-will without being either optimistic or pessimistic. Just wish to learn from anything that happens to you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| You may say, Does not the divine conscience wish this perfection too? Certainly it does. I said | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| some degree at least, connected with it. We wish that this truth about the background of insanity | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| others' opinions is to cover up the exact wish that you deny yourself by adopting the opposite | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| with saying about as many subjects as you wish that you do not know. On the contrary | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| are committed out of malice; or because you wish evil on other people. All faults, every kind | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| fact that God lets you deviate if you wish; that you are made in His likeness, meaning | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| you are completely free to choose as you wish. You are not forced to live in bliss | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| in bliss and light. You can if you wish. All this means the love of God. It | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| for a short time, we in our world wish to express our thanks to each one of | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| we could not execute our task. I also wish to make a suggestion to all my friends | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| always despise yourself because in some way you wish to shortchange life. You want to get something | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| inner growth and understanding that you no longer wish and expect to shortchange life -- you will | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| adult, there exists another form of punishment, the wish to punish another. If the other person does | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| If the other person does not do your wish, you often feel a desire to punish. This | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| the hurt is seldom so deep that the wish to die is genuine. The child desires to | 53 SELF-LOVE |
