| can you test it and see it at work -- and marvel at it. You will see | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| concepts and your vision, you will see it work in many wonderful ways. If you choose to | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| over which there is no control, were at work. You first ascribe negative events to fate, and | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| aims and thoughts. As you proceed in the work you gradually eliminate the separating factors. You begin | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you see how the destructive elements in you work and what motivates them, they will cease to | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| separated from knowing what destructive elements are at work as well as from the power that can | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| You will learn to understand how these laws work and how you can use the powers of | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| which cannot exist without conscious effort. You must work for integration by the same process of conceiving | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| thoughts of constructive will. You will see it work. My friends, I have given you a key | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| wisdom of your core. Thus the interaction will work both ways. The more you cultivate this process | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| to give yourselves over to life. Doing the work on such a path as this, many of | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| alternatives of closeness or separateness. This can never work. It can be resolved only when negative and | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| you, you will see a tremendous power at work in you. You will truly experience the peace | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| do not understand why your efforts do not work out. You become more and more involved in | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| with yourself when you accept, acknowledge, understand and work openly and candidly on the cruel aspects, even | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| several points which must be combined in your work: Point 1: An undesirable situation -- a lack | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| All these possibilities exist now for your further work. Some of you are aware of one or | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| and that, in the short time of your work, it has come out so strongly. Your vulnerability | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| genuine and lasting relief. I want you to work along these lines by yourself and also in | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| been attained through the painstaking struggle of this work, you at least know, my friends, what causes | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| of my friends who have been doing this work for a considerable time. So ask yourself, Do | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| the mechanism that wishes the negative result. The work on this path continues with becoming aware of | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| things go easily. You do not have to work hard at them. They perpetuate themselves. You do | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| are not yet willing to do this, the work must proceed very simply and easily. Where and | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| or powerlessness is again the self-perpetuating principle at work in that you have given up self-government when | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| bare surface. It is often necessary that one work on other aspects for a while before one | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| very diligent and full of goodwill in this work often overlook, or forget, or still do not | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| so on, since the self-perpetuating principle is at work. But if at any given instant, in any | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| unwilling to give. This, my friends, is the work of this path, briefly reformulated. If you can | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| attitude and behavior regarding these laws. You will work with, instead of against them. But as long | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| acknowledged. This is an essential part of the work we are doing together. Once this has happened | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| find yourselves in that error. You have to work on that level. When you can make this | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| -- or will shortly come to if your work proceeds according to the possibilities you have available | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| is, basically, the most important point of this work. All others are side issues, details to work | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| work. All others are side issues, details to work through to become acutely aware of the deliberate | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| to say that the only way I can work with it, at the moment, is through constant | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| conscious. This is what I advise you to work on, my dears. QUESTION: I have become aware | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| path, I mean much more than this particular work in this particular group. I mean a way | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| tight control. All creative manifestations are the direct work of an inner intelligence and wisdom which by | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| be, the positive self-perpetuating principle has been at work. All aspects of living and of being, all | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| applying to all human beings, are: attitude toward work, human relationships in general, material values, physical health | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| positively and some negatively self- perpetuating. Where they work positively, everything goes smoothly. You do not have | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| difficulty, wrong timing, and frustration. Things do not work out. When closely observed, the ego presses and | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| I would now like you to do the work with a more exact understanding of how self-perpetuating | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| beginning to form. Wherever positive fields are at work, whether consciously or unconsciously, there must be trust | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| when you understand how and why negative fields work, why they exist, and the fact that they | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| particular process? ANSWER: The particular process is the work of this path which I have given and | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| have had mental blocks. Whenever I concentrate and work and use the methods you just described, there | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| think you will do this? COMMENT: I will work at it, I think I will... ANSWER: If | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| progress more now than the pace of my work allows, and my still-existing problems may impede the | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| be equally responsible if the relationship does not work. It is not only your doing; it cannot | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| brunt of failure when the relationship does not work. Nor can such a person be aware of | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| this lecture may reach you only as you work your way through the deep layers of your | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| though you understand its error. This is the work you are doing on this path. It is | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| have found these truths. All of you who work intensely have had at least moments when you | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| engraved that you require more extended and patient work to change your inner picture. This other side | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| that will also constitute a reformulation of our work and its purpose. People always need a clarification | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| live it are two entirely different things. The work on this path is destined to help you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| pride hidden by your shame. The intensely personal work of overcoming your pride leads to the realization | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| make do as best you can? Do you work on this path because there are certain symptoms | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| are also those occasions when things do not work that way. Even though in certain areas of | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| this undifferentiated good with your ego-self does not work. Where your real self is not activated, the | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| important. Now a second major phase of the work can be envisaged: the phase in which you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| what brings the progress, for this path must work when willingness and openness exist. Those of you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| over, such vagueness exists, transformation cannot happen. This work is impossible to accomplish without the help of | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| the crasser manifestations, such as the balance between work and leisure, are regulated by this principle, each | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| seeming opposites containing both active and passive elements. Work coming forth from a healthy organism flows effortlessly | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| be. This is the central point you must work on to consolidate all difficulties into one simple | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| very slow stages of evolution. QUESTION: In my work on the path I found out that I | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| friend recently who was very close to this work. I wonder whether we could be in touch | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| possible, your feelings must come alive. In this work, and in these lectures, we have often discussed | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| expression. When you go deep enough in your work of self-search, my friends, sooner or later you | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| path lies before them unobstructed. From then the work becomes a question of building up, for the | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| place and automatically hinder the positive power at work and convert it into destructive power. When you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| destructive feelings away. This cannot succeed. One must work on a very deep level with these problems | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| feel these things in your personal life and work with them. Now, are there any questions regarding | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the importance of this fact. In our past work together we have discussed many of the specifics | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| means being true to the natural laws that work in life and in the individual -- as | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| righteousness. Such praise is tempting. It appears to work like a balm on the sores of self-doubt | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| you know, and we, on our path here, work diligently. However, no matter how much all of | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| as explained by Cayce and other people who work with this -- are they really attempts in | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| important step in the evolution of humanity. Any work of self-realization brings the issue into very clear | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| season behind us, it will also anticipate the work in our next season together. An attempt to | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| by itself. In this way the ingrained ideas work as the motor force of the power, and | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| forces are only dangerous or negative because they work according to your own ideas. You ignore that | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the correct assumptions. They will then begin to work constructively for you. You proceed to set off | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| proceed to set off new energy currents which work according to a vaster law. You never need | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| can be exactly what you need, provided you work with them. The résumé of past material, approached | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| to do. You cannot imagine that it will work. Not even those of you who have been | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| any other inner organ. The organs do their work perfectly by themselves. It would not occur to | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| faculties, in order to have your biological functions work in their own perfect way, you will then | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| involuntary processes to be affected indirectly and to work in a reliable way. Then their self-regulating nature | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| tonight, provided you truly and deeply feel and work them through, will prove indeed a gate, a | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| notwithstanding. It represents a blueprint of the future work and, at the same time, it is the | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| emotions and soul movements. The previous years of work must have made you aware, to some extent | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to deny. As you all know from our work together, this fear of experience does not only | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| allowing it to function. By function I mean work according to the laws of life that prescribe | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| want to soak in from others. It cannot work that way. All efforts to attain liberation and | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| Such inertia requires more willpower, more meaningful mental work and activity. Now let us begin with your | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and comprehend that the laws of creation can work only if you apply them first to the | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| that you cannot get far in your self-purification work unless you work on seeing how they function | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| get far in your self-purification work unless you work on seeing how they function in your life | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| with life, with all the good that could work for you if you were only ready to | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| your feelings. The magnificent creative process, constantly at work within yourself, often reveals itself first in its | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| You see, my friends, the creative power at work within yourself is so immense, so constantly operative | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| a magnificent power. Do not permit it to work inadvertently, arbitrarily, haphazardly by your unwise, destructive and | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| occur to you that your own unconscious must work in the opposite direction from this desire, if | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| but also about the creative power that could work for, not against you. This is one of | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| ego-intelligence can accept this as a possibility and work with it by deliberately activating this power, the | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| understand what happens to you. Even in your work situation the problem is essentially the same. This | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| and accept before. You not only do good work as such, but you have overcome blocks and | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| I read these lectures. I am able to work with them. I think I understand them. I | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| what life is. All my lectures, all our work together, attack the problem of your illusion from | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| you know, it is part of the individual work to painstakingly examine where such collective labels come | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| dealing with the present limitations, it cannot possibly work. It is necessary to first accept the present | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| psychic life of all manifestations. They are at work wherever life exists. The power of their harmonious | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| process. Again, the determination and instruction is the work of the active mind, while the waiting for | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| inner processes, receiving into consciousness what wants to work its way out, is an essential part of | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| premise you start from is already the ground work for further and deeper entanglement and error. At | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| of feelings that we repeatedly discuss in our work together. We often discuss this numbness and deadness | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| topic of selfishness. In the course of our work together we have touched on this topic in | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| so often at the beginning of a new work season, both a recapitulation of past guidance recast | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| the present emphasis and a blueprint for future work. It foreshadows the structure of your work in | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| future work. It foreshadows the structure of your work in the year to come. When you retrospectively | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| lectures and the individual pathwork of those who work deeply by overcoming their fear of self, you | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| the creative force in me will go to work to the extent I let it, is nearer | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| with whom I am proud and happy to work. Blessings for you all, for this entire year | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| my friends who are actively engaged in this work have recently become acutely aware of such feelings | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| off -- perhaps even after years of hard work -- are suddenly approaching the threshold of this | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| processes you cannot control by direct will. They work indirectly -- the closing as well as the | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| of numbness. Here, too, indirect processes are at work. Some fear, some defense, some inner shrinking has | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| some inner shrinking has taken place unconsciously. Your work requires that you connect with these unconscious processes | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| that enables you to come here, listen, and work on the path. You can decide whether or | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| have discussed many elements of fear in this work. You have found what some of your fears | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| unhappy, these two principles must also be at work; only in this case they are distorted and | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| the duality are reconciled, two apparently opposing forces work together toward one goal and complement one another | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| created without both of these principles being at work. No union between the sexes can be fulfilling | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| slightly altered vision that acknowledges both principles at work, you will see and understand a lot more | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| principle of receptivity, of letting the activating forces work their lawful way toward fruition, is distorted when | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| willing to let the activating principle go to work in its own fashion. In other words, he | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| accountability. Both men and women therefore have to work out the same problems, but they interact on | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| Let us take for example a problem at work. How can your work be successful if the | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| example a problem at work. How can your work be successful if the activating principle is lacking | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| to contribute to life with and through your work. Therefore there can be nothing creative about it | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| that of creative inspiration, necessary for all successful work. It, too, consists of the two aspects: inspiration | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| all endeavors. Whether you do menial labor, or work as an artist, a scientist, or whatever else | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
