| Now, are there any questions? QUESTION: In my work so far, I discovered that one of my | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| Blessed is this hour. Joyfully, we resume the work with you on this path of self-recognition. May | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| are quite confused, namely the results that your work on this path are supposed to bring. Many | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| with you. By the time you decide to work on this path of self-recognition, usually a few | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| you have made. Some people may search and work with a strong outer will, but their inner | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| For them, a few years of apparently devoted work will bring lesser results than would a few | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| lesser results than would a few months of work for a person who does not resist inwardly | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| you have done, a minor amount of the work that has to be done, because you have | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| a comparatively long time of this kind of work, growth and progress will little by little diminish | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| delayed reaction. Generally speaking, however, cause and effect work faster when one is on the path. It | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| force, at the very time one starts the work of self-finding, or shortly thereafter. By what laws | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| want to state that this law does not work by static general rules, but by individual soul | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| put a great deal of effort into some work they may do for others. While this is | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| meditation. The idea that because you started to work on the path, your difficulties will cease is | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| that a little effort of spiritual and psychological work will either exempt you from life's downs or | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| through difficulties, or that the path does not work in spite of one's having tried so hard | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| come to a climax shortly after you started work on this path, this did not happen because | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| which amounts to almost the same as this work, it often happens that a person loses an | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| you understand that neither the value of the work, nor the value of your efforts can be | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| be too deeply ingrained and may need continuous work after this life span. Whatever can be accomplished | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| Sooner or later, in the course of this work, you are bound to become aware that this | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| Many will be the fruits of this year's work for all of those who do not let | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| the love we all desire, you described the work process of realizing, observing, and finally abandoning the | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| way, the healthy approach that should follow the work of letting go of the compulsive wrong way | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| day a year. All of you who really work on this path know that there are certain | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| point, when this cycle closes again, provided your work on the path is sufficient in depth and | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| force the stages, they grow out of your work, your individual needs, your personal problems and characteristics | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to achieve sooner or later, whether you now work on this path or not. But freedom is | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| are ready to see that you need to work for it. Then you approach freedom, but not | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and aging, and how we may relate the work on the path to preserve and further the | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| inner conflicts which is a consequence of the work of self-search on this path. In the course | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| on this path. In the course of the work, you become aware of your emotions and their | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| by outer actions. More often, your inner reactions work in that way, and you feel all the | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| hidden ways. When, in the course of your work, you have recognized all these emotions and reactions | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| it is not done instead of the inner work. If you recall what I said, you will | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| them in conjunction with the other type of work that we do. I should like to give | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| It is elusive for those who in their work have not yet come across the emotions we | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| it this way: the natural process of your work will bring to light the very factors I | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| But you can never forcefully attempt a certain work process. If your search proceeds organically, it will | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| lectures can be material for many months of work. Try to make it so, and you will | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| right now. Those of my friends who really work on this path, who progress in their inner | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| fear of loving. Those of you who really work constructively have finally become fully aware that this | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| that the child in you is strongly at work, you will have the tools to work with | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| at work, you will have the tools to work with on this particular aspect. You will feel | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| you have become aware of it in this work. As you do this, you will find a | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| your personality you have discovered due to your work so far, or that you are about to | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| the little, seemingly insignificant daily disharmonies to your work on the path, so as to gain deeper | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| abysses of illusion. As you proceed in this work, you will find first that this particular fear | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| unhealthy, destructive fears we generally discuss in our work. As to the fear of God, this has | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| unconscious mind. You may have noticed in this work that you often expect to find recognitions that | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| may be valuable as a tool for the work of self-finding, which is the process of making | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| quite a lot of material for your further work, and also for questions and discussions. Be blessed | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| you to take the further steps indicated. To work on this inner conflict is of great importance | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| the immediate here and now. Yet, in my work I am entirely submerged, absorbed, and wholly concentrated | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| other aspects, the purpose and aim in this work is to achieve a proper balance. In many | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| could hear the soul scream. Does that also work between the different subconscious minds of two separate | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| the slow and gradual process pursued in our work. Most important is that you become fully aware | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| discipline. Truce, as you see it, cannot really work. It is as unreal as the effect of | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| the truth. Therefore, those who honestly do this work must ultimately, in one way or another, affect | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| most important things in the course of this work is to recognize when you are confused about | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| If you then pray for the answers and work with the questions -- at the same time | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| will sink in deeper and enable you to work more constructively. Are there any questions about this | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| will be handed to you, for you cannot work it out yourself. That is all wrong. Since | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| so often, is to take daily incidents and work with them. That is not difficult. QUESTION: When | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| considerably, even if only one person does this work. Of course, it is better if both do | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| and positive part of the other's personality. This work increases awareness, and awareness is the only real | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| it suffices for one person to do the work of self-recognition, and so to grow inwardly to | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| involved. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that this work affects your entire surroundings. Anyone around you must | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| out of weakness and fear, but by constructive work of self-analysis and inner growth through understanding the | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| explore your personality in the course of this work, you may find subtle inhibitions which invariably affect | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| false one. It takes a great deal of work on this path before you even begin to | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| yet your true self. When you start this work, these are merely words. After you have worked | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| other person. Such forceful measures can never really work. An organic natural growth will bring an organic | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| the creativity will be. In such cases, the work of self-search and inner re-education is most essential | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| be sown, and the teacher who tries to work in this way will perceive how and where | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| conflicts. I stressed the necessity of doing this work of self- search without judging yourself, without moralizing | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| level that transcends superficial awareness, it makes your work harder than it already is. Now comes a | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| had found at the very beginning of your work and which you thought you had overcome, or | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| state of isolation. It takes a lot more work to make the transition permanent, and the most | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| produce this new state in you. But your work on the path progresses steadily, and if you | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| because of self-produced conditions. These forces and principles work all around and within you. It is up | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| becomes an automatic process when you pursue this work of self-search while also envisaging the ultimate aim | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| where the fear comes from. This is hard work, I admit. It needs patience and perseverance. It | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| other than to proceed with the general psychological work, to study and think about it. It is | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| happen by itself as a result of this work. It is not a matter of tuning into | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| There is no such thing. It is gradual work and if one has fear for a while | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| help for the time being, other than the work we are doing anyway. If we do the | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| we are doing anyway. If we do the work right over a period of time, then slowly | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| with a problem like that would have to work it out in his or her personal work | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| work it out in his or her personal work because there are many variations, many possible factors | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| on a silver platter, without the necessary responsibility, work, decision, and cost. When mature, you accept all | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| this connection you must understand that God's laws work in this way: Only one who is happy | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| karma and the plan? ANSWER: Heredity can only work in coordination with the plan, with karma, with | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| already in connection with the genes. The genes work in such a way that certain physical resemblances | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| with the excuse that they cannot do the work of purification as long as they suffer, physically | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| in another teacher as an excuse not to work spiritually. By the same token, the relative perfection | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| I could see an ordinary, failing human being work that way, that would convince me -- while | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| what it tells you regarding purification and its work in the Plan of Salvation. But I will | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| this test. What the spirits tell about purification work and of their tasks will be their identification | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| images have not yet had a chance to work and build such a wall. That is why | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| there is this other part in you at work that tries to blur such messages, whether they | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| therefore into unrest. The ultimate aim of this work of self-search is to free you from the | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| of the problems. In the course of the work you are doing, you may have often wondered | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| your intuitive nature will emerge. After some constructive work is done and valid insights have been attained | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| sooner or later, if you persevere in this work. Find the harsh, tense, rigid, and at the | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| aware of, but in the course of this work, you will find it to be true. It | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| you are so ardently looking for in your work. First become aware of the forcing current, the | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| it has been found and dissolved in your work. Unless you become aware of it, feeling it | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| go of the forcing current, I want. This work is a path within the path. Once you | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| the forcing current? In what way do I work? ANSWER: The first requirement is to feel its | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| the end you will see the connection. The work itself guides you in the proper direction, as | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| I cannot emphasize strongly enough that in this work you cannot get any real results by absorbing | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| obstinacy is discovered in the course of this work and you are perfectly aware of its unreasonableness | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| opportunity to get private help for their individual work, who still have to wait -- the time | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| for all of you, even those who already work with a helper, to ask what to do | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| helper, to ask what to do as preparatory work. This will also be beneficial for those friends | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| basis of all religions. For the divine laws work eternally within the psyche and this will be | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| of your inner psychological law. The more you work on the path of self-finding, the more you | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| small extent those of my friends who really work on this path have experienced this to be | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| know this from your own experience in this work. Tooth: What is a tooth? You need your | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| known religious concept, but also from your personal work experience as you work on yourself. This is | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| also from your personal work experience as you work on yourself. This is very different from the | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| understand Scripture, unless one does this kind of work on the path. With this work of self-finding | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| kind of work on the path. With this work of self-finding, the sayings will have a very | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that anyone who has progressed somewhat in this work has personally experienced this to be true, at | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| he or she is not really doing the work required to build it up. With such honest | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| into the pseudo-solution that you unconsciously thought would work for you. And only then will you use | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| bad. It is always necessary to approach this work with a freshness in feeling and outlook. This | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the need of the present in your individual work. The psyche indicates your inner world of feeling | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| blocks your happiness and joy. Keep up the work, each one of you, for your own sake | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| working on the path, both the person I work with and myself feel that I have dissolved | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you give me any help for our further work? ANSWER: It is perfectly true what you say | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| constantly observed in your daily review, in your work on this path. Watch your emotional reactions, analyze | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| reactions, analyze them, try to understand them and work them through each time anew. Do not become | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| get out of a vicious circle in the work. Whatever disturbs or bothers you, whatever oppresses you | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the material that should be discussed in your work. And you will see that out of this | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| strength can only come through the painstaking piecemeal work of daily analysis of one's negative reactions, emotions | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| being constantly forgotten, even by my friends who work on this path. If you keep in mind | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the real and the false you. Only this work will finally bring you to the point where | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it exists in every human being. If this work is not done systematically, and with the help | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the systematic help of an objective person, this work will remain limited. Certain areas remain where you | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and blocked as others. Although this is slow work, each tiny step forward brings liberation and matters | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| much you have changed while involved in this work. While you are in the process you do | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| have all noticed, in the course of this work, how after each insight and liberation a new | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| will not delay the realization. Even though the work may be long, it is the only way | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this lifetime. It is a question of personal work. Isn't that right? There is nothing so locked | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| superimpose and artificially exaggerate other hurts. As your work progresses, you sometimes see it is unreasonable of | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| life itself. The more you advance in this work, the more you realize how your unresolved problems | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
