| It is one thing to go about the work of self-finding with the vague outlook of becoming | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |

| for you. If you study this lecture and work through it, I promise that your liberation and | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |

| knowledge of a dozen foreign earth languages. The work of this path is manifold. We have described | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| sure that both currents must be strongly at work, thus inhibiting each other. Consciously the yes- current | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| driven underground, where it continues to do its work. And the more this happens, the more urgent | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| are repeatedly unlucky, the no-current must be at work in one form or another. Of course, the | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| proof that an undetected no- current is at work. It is not sufficient to gain, or have | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| in the particular circumstances of your childhood. Important work as that is, it is only one step | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| your innermost, subtle emotional reactions. It does not work that way, because this assumption only leads to | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| through detection of how the no-current continues to work, even prohibiting the very change so ardently striven | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| And this is the important part of the work, without which real liberation cannot be achieved. In | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| efforts in daily detection of the no-current at work. Its manifestations may be ever so subtle, diffuse | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| fantasy when, apparently, only the yes-current is at work. But in this fantasy, do you wish for | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| not just once, but whenever it is at work. To become more acutely aware of its existence | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| tactics from the no-current is essential to your work of self-realization. Although a substantial part of you | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |

| to the difficulty of the problem and the work. The no-current cannot be eliminated unless the deep | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| therefore miss a very important part of your work. So often you go on searching for an | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| questions and begin truthfully to answer them, your work on the path will be most dynamic and | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| action how you react when you try to work on your problem. If you continue to observe | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| living, in your reactions, contacts, attitudes, in the work on the path itself. Only then will it | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| successfully fought and overcame their resistance against the work at a particular phase, they found a corresponding | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| yes-current. This should be done as daily meditation work, creating a new mold in the soul substance | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| to be true in other phases of the work, and it is of equal importance in this | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| -- uncovering the shame. The no-current is at work. When the pressure to talk is relieved inappropriately | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| or too firm conviction in connection with your work on the path should be examined. Are you | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| do not yet realize that your pseudo-solutions don't work. When you are successful, you believe that it | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| utter discouragement. Each time the pseudo-solutions fail to work you despair, but since the entire process of | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| not worked hard enough to make the pseudo-solutions work, to get the false, idealized self across. Then | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| friends on the path will recognize that our work in the past has brought us to the | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| us to the phase of understanding. Each person's work must vary, for in certain areas you may | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| factors we find again and again in this work -- and I do not have to enumerate | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| creation takes place, universal powers must be at work. People are often confused in this respect. They | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| in which one wants the creative force to work. The self-directing mind sets the universal forces in | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| into the plant. A creative process is at work that requires his cooperation. There are certain conditions | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| passivity -- letting the universal powers do their work, entrusting the self to them with a full | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| externalized God, who is supposed to do the work for you. The proper balance is perfect activity | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| willing to commit yourself to. It does not work that way, my friends. You fear a wholehearted | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| have even already found this in my private work. I now know that I have never committed | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| that if I do and it will not work, I will be lost, so I do not | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| the conflict. Therefore the healing forces have to work indirectly from link to link, until you can | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| not mean that another, evil power is at work: it is the same benign force which was | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| fully understood. Then it can be observed at work all around you. You will not trust the | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| to unfold in all their glory. Try to work on these soul-movements with the concepts I have | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |

| your periods of meditation and concentration in this work, listen into yourself, into your soul movements. Instruct | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| with which we are concerned in my private work. I have a feeling that I have a | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| give new incentive to all of you who work so hard on your path of self-realization, of | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| reach a further state of consciousness. In your work on this path you learn through your meditations | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| outer person is often hard. You have to work hard, you have to struggle for survival and | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
