| picture language which is used in the Spirit World and you also mentioned that it is rather | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| far as the picture language of the Spirit World is concerned, I am afraid I cannot possibly | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| than any outer obstruction. Hence, we, in the world of God, are not interested in producing phenomena | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| so much on the surface, in the outer world. To find God, I have to retire from | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| God, I have to retire from the outer world and lead an inner life, this attitude shows | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |

| Christ, in the name of the holy spirit world. Be in peace, be in God! 56. CAPACITY | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| established not only in the eyes of the world but in my own eyes. If I cannot | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| to this particular mass image. We, in our world, can hear your souls shrieking for attention. The | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| you are extra-special in the eyes of the world, your inferiority feelings will vanish; that when others | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| on one side, and the rest of the world is on the other. Many subtle emotions will | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| him greater stature in the eyes of the world. With someone else, other values serve to gain | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| image says that without the approval of the world around you, you are lost. You believe you | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| firm ground under your feet, that your whole world stands or falls by what other people think | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| about it. You believe you rebel against a world that tries to force you into behavior patterns | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| inferiority feelings. Often, you cannot both please the world and be true to your innermost self and | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| chain that has held you prisoner of the world of illusion. Then you can begin the process | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| actions and reactions on the part of the world that seem unjust and uncalled-for. I assure you | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| an elevated position in the eyes of the world in order to convince yourself that your inferiority | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| to fail to meet this requirement, the person's world crumbles. Happiness becomes an impossibility, not just for | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| things happen in accordance with its wishes, the world is bright. But if the tiniest little thing | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| tiniest little thing goes against its will, the world looks black. When the infant is hungry but | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| unattainable. The child feels dependent on a cruel world which denies it what it thinks it needs | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| thinks it needs and could have if the world were less cruel. If you think it through | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| omnipotent rulership, for unquestioned obedience from the surrounding world, for a special, elevated position above all other | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| child grows and learns to live in this world, the more it realizes that the omnipotent rulership | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| is: Perhaps if I become perfect, as the world around me asks me to be, I will | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| that now stands in the way of the world giving me what I want would be removed | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| perfect. Both wish-fulfillments are completely thwarted by the world. For this, you blame the world on the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| by the world. For this, you blame the world on the one hand and the self on | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| So when unhappiness comes along, the mature person's world does not come to an end, as it | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| unhappiness make you feel even more inadequate, the world even more cruel and unfair. Needless to say | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| human being to come to terms with the world of reality, accepting it in exchange for the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| of reality, accepting it in exchange for the world of utopia that the infant desires. Intellectual conviction | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| in order to be the ruler of the world that surrounds you. Offhand, you will undoubtedly say | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| become truly one. Then one has outgrown the world of opposites. You must not expect in this | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| that when we are asleep, often the Spirit World teaches us or communicates with us. Is there | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| yourself is created naturally. Instruction from the Spirit World during sleep is one form -- there are | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not encounter before. The experience in the Spirit World is due to your past good efforts. It | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| the form you have mentioned, expecting the Spirit World to hand out knowledge that should be gained | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| contact in any way. Contact with the Spirit World is often also sought with the aim of | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not always easy. But contact with the Spirit World must not and cannot be a shortcut to | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you it is like two different worlds. One world has difficulty understanding the other world. You often | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| worlds. One world has difficulty understanding the other world. You often feel discouraged because to bridge the | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| effect. If you view any phenomenon in your world as an isolated happening, separated from other events | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| never gain true insight. This applies to general world conditions or events, as well as to people's | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you wish to correct the evils of this world, you can do a great deal by first | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to those who are instrumental in bettering the world, whose task it is to lead nations. The | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I wonder how it is possible that the world is now in fear of excessive growth of | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| they exist at the same time in the world of the spirit. If you harbor truthful attitudes | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| and emotions, these forms will exist in a world of light and they will, in your own | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| when you cannot accept the imperfection of this world, which means that you cannot have life and | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| that it amounts to feeling endangered because your world of Utopia is proven unreal. This is the | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| same law at work even in the animal world. A pet has no freedom but it is | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| You can see now that giving up the world of Utopia appears to you as the abyss | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| give up your Utopia seems dire misery. The world becomes bleak and hopeless with no chance for | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| up Utopia does not make for a bleak world. You need not despair over letting go of | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| the surface because you still hope that the world of Utopia can actually exist. Therefore, you have | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| experience, you will cease being afraid of the world. If your fear of life and the inadequacy | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |

| and the continued wish to be free. The world of Utopia as well as the fearsome abyss | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
