| of each center requires a great deal of work. It requires a total change of your consciousness | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |

| of unconscious fears. This is, as you who work on this path well know, not as easy | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| -- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. They will work in full harmony, functioning the way life is | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |

| concisely. State that what you do does not work, why it does not work, and that you | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| do does not work, why it does not work, and that you wish to operate in a | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |

| Out of a highly differentiated disunity, you can work toward an undifferentiated unity. It is a sin | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |

| know. At the beginning of doing this inner work you may not have suspected that such a | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| of this problem of yours. Thus, after diligent work, many of you are now able to acknowledge | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| indicate that some deeper force must be at work in the person's psyche that makes sure to | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| very practical and immediate key in your inner work. You can look at all your relationships with | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| of life, that there must be something at work within the person that thwarts fulfillment. Even when | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| one's inner voice is the primary problem. Any work concerned with genuine self-search and development must unearth | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| your feelings, your longings. When we started our work together many years ago, these ideas were at | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| This venture must truly become mutual. It can work only as a mutuality. The last lecture has | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| are. Let me explain now how they can work specifically in this venture. Anyone of you who | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| influence stagnant soul substance and can go to work within you. This is the gift that all | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| is the gift that all of you who work on this path have made possible, that you | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| power, take it into me and let it work in me until, finally, I release these same | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| more self-alienation, less aliveness, and it requires more work until the layer of longing becomes more conscious | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| from within yourself as the force goes to work in you -- provided you nurture it and | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| the hands of the instrument. Later, it will work between your ego-consciousness and the source of all | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| many of you have spent, and the hard work in overcoming the ever-present fear of and resistance | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| beginning to establish itself: the effectiveness of your work on the path generates new energy which, in | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| for many of my friends whose phase of work on the path requires deeper understanding of this | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| circle, a smaller ingrown one is then at work and at cross-purposes with the affirmative, conscious striving | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| key is discovered. Of course it takes considerable work on the path before you are really conscious | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| in connection with the present phase of our work. In the scale of development, the least developed | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| help and provide rich material, if you truly work with it, really use it, and do not | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| guilty about to face squarely. Even you, who work so diligently on this path, focus on others' | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| committed to and involved in your own intensive work of self-development, self-confrontation, and growth -- in short | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| said many times and you have done much work already. Let us now try to see where | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| be included, for you have benefited from the work that others have done before. It is as | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| with a continuation of this phase of the work on yourself, it is necessary for you to | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| split. When you unify knowing and feeling, you work toward mending and integration, which manifests as a | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| Indeed, most people are motivated to start spiritual work like this because what they really seek are | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| self requires a great deal of effort, commitment, work, and also the willingness to sacrifice destructive patterns | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| self-observation and self-honesty to see this process at work. Only when you are capable of admitting your | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| quite unconsciously punishing others with this pain. The work should rather be directed toward recognizing what is | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| be cleared. These energies can then go to work to dissolve the soul substance still hardened by | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| perceptions can only be eliminated by the arduous work of bringing all your inner worlds into awareness | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| needs to be explored, understood, and mastered. This work is the pathwork. All these aspects of the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| these misconceptions and their consequences are. Then the work of specific identification needs to be done. Misconceptions | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| the body. (2) The Level of Will To work on the level of will, you have to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| is yours. A very important aspect of this work is yet another level of the self beyond | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| philosophy. All of you who go into this work honestly and deeply enough must inevitably find out | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| is the path. Whoever commits to do the work of this path will experience that there is | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| has superimposed on it, this process will not work. You can quite easily determine whether you reject | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| up meditation because it does not seem to work. They disregard their unconscious ambivalence and give up | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| more you will feel the creative process at work. You will trust it, allow it to happen | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| all of you, my dear ones. The hard work, courage, honesty, and humility of this pathwork have | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| because your responsibility is growing with the good work you are doing; the impact of everything you | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| seeks to cheat, using shortcuts, which can never work and which exact a very high price. Consequently | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| is all right. You can calmly go to work on the obstacles, without self-deluding tactics that remove | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| unnecessary deprivation and frustration. There is still much work to be done by each of you in | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| there are always some who come to this work with only a minor part of themselves and | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| at your negative intentions and begin to really work with them on this deep level, your positive | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
