| is instigated by the soul in the spirit world during sleep when discussions with spiritual advisers always | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |

| How rare a phenomenon it is in this world of yours! How hard the struggle of self-purification | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| One of the many dualistic misconceptions of your world is the equation of self-devaluation with humility and | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| you must feel pessimistic and fearful about the world and see it only in fragments, out of | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| the process I just described. This kind of world view cushions them against the painful belief that | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| The love of all of us in our world constantly flows to you. Receive it. You are | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| and hear, but who live in a different world and have created a different configuration. Your higher | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |

| helpless straw in the wind, living in a world without rhyme or reason. Fulfillment comes to you | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| so many misconceptions, about this principle in your world of duality. You imagine that contraction is negative | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| safe. It contains itself in one's own inner world, but not for the purpose of bringing out | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| of bringing out the riches of the inner world so as to spread them out, as is | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| Expanding means letting this flow out into the world, but to be able to do so, positive | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| two directions -- not only toward the outside world. When you open up, you also make it | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| an instrument of divine reality to enrich the world through the divinity that wants to express itself | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| which you may then again blame the outer world and those who, at least in some respects | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| a much deeper, more subtle and more radiant world. When you have passed the previous steps, you | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| and deeply, as we all do in our world, who are so concerned with the beautiful creation | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| it, you liberate new energies in your inner world. You will begin to feel these energies as | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| These inner linkings are very much in the world today. The spiritual movement needs this approach particularly | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| personality levels. This is what we in our world work for, seek to inspire you for, and | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| for the great task ahead. We in our world can no longer be content with the purification | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| age. And as you experience in your outer world, in symbolic reflections, how the lower self of | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| richly from your innermost being into the outer world and from the outer world around you back | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| into the outer world and from the outer world around you back into your innermost being. The | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| You start off believing only in this material world that is very real to you. And it | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| for it is your task to infuse the world of matter with the greater spiritual reality in | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| that is your task -- to bring the world that is the reality into the outer realms | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| you project that lack of genuineness on the world outside. For it is a human being's weakness | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| this juncture. There is much discussion in your world about what love really is. To many it | 240 ASPECTS OF THE ANATOMY OF LOVE: SELF-LOVE, STRUCTURE, FREEDOM |
| there were no laws and no boundaries, the world would disintegrate in chaos and destruction. What keeps | 240 ASPECTS OF THE ANATOMY OF LOVE: SELF-LOVE, STRUCTURE, FREEDOM |

| these lectures are coming to you. In our world of spirit and truth, there are certain high | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| task it is to connect with the three-dimensional world, wherever this is possible. These connections, as I | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| work needs to be accomplished first in our world. You come here together in a specific relationship | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| a minute representation of what exists in our world. The topic of tonight's lecture, as I have | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| they make their first movements out into the world. They learn to stand on their legs, they | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |

| already obsolete, but still known system in your world, and let us classify it in one category | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| result. When these systems appeared in your earth world, this was their innate message. They appeared when | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| does this political system exist in the inner world of a human being? Again, this is not | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| to their argument that it is an unfair world they live in and that they who are | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| see how this principle applies to your inner world. When you are given the freedom to responsibly | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| as well as to the largest scale of world government. How can all this be integrated with | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| spreading Christ consciousness creates channels all over the world. It requires courage to claim such a communication | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| With selflessness as the primary concern and focus, world politics in the New Age will contain every | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| creativity, joy and fulfillment. In fact, if a world government, or the inner government of an individual | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| channel can unclog itself. It is so with world politics in the New Age. Humankind has been | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| to represent all forms of government as the world knows them today in their divine expressions. This | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| and to discern -- not only in your world view, but in your whole approach to life | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| and with which you build a beautiful new world. Every one of you is contained in the | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| deepest of security, in the guidance of the world of God. You are blessed. 243. THE GREAT | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| In this case you fear that perhaps the world is an arbitrary, chaotic, senseless place without rhyme | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| to the assumption that the universe is a world of chaos and meaningless arbitrariness. When a human | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| being utterly safe and at home in the world permeates your whole being: A sense of security | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| life. Through this sense of belonging in the world you experience true joyousness, a joyousness combined with | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| cultures and eras -- are removed from this world and that having them means living in another | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| and that having them means living in another world. This is far from being so. The true | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| attempted to describe here are brought into the world of matter, into the matter-mind and the matter-body | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| experience the fear of a fragmented, meaningless, disconnected world in which you exist without rhyme or reason | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| intensely long for this all-loving Creator, for a world in which you and all that exists has | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| the false cynicism of accepting a mean, godless world, nor by simply displacing the fear and longing | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |

| Christ, be in God! 244. BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA Greetings, my very | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| level of your consciousness you exist in a world torn between the forces of good and the | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| occasionally, then Christ's important injunction, Be in the world, but not of the world becomes very clear | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| Be in the world, but not of the world becomes very clear. It leads to a joyous | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| the other. In this way, Be in the world, but not of the world will have a | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| Be in the world, but not of the world will have a new meaning for you. You | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| meaning for you. You will know that the world of material manifestation is a temporary one in | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| grasp the deeper meaning of Be in the world but not of the world. The deeper understanding | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| Be in the world but not of the world. The deeper understanding can come only if and | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| put first things first and see your private world in its proper perspective. This will bring a | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| you to understand that primitive consciousness sees the world as a series of unconnected events, unrelated to | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a hidden thought previously ignored. In your three-dimensional world, and in your present state of consciousness, you | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| yourself to be in many areas half-way. Your world is neither all good nor all bad. Your | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| some good exists in you and in your world, greater degrees of goodness must exist. Therefore, a | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| is a little bad in you and your world, there must also exist spheres of consciousness in | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| never happened. Yet you know that in the world you live in this is impossible. How then | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| perhaps also begin to perceive that the three-dimensional world with its limitation of time, space and movement | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| perception is an untruthful overall view of the world. At the same time the limitations of time | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| one point in time a breakthrough from the world of spirit. To keep these values alive, it | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| aspect of ultimate reality vibrates through into the world of matter. You must remember that the level | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| in truth. The forms that exist in the world of finer vibrations do not only manifest as | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| of the different conditions that exist in the world of spirit. Its essence is pulsated through into | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| to the concept of tradition: Tradition in our world describes merely an aspect of a certain specific | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| to see beyond the limited confines of your world. The other aspect -- counter-tradition -- also exists | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| aspect -- counter-tradition -- also exists in our world, in our dimension of reality that is always | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |

| truths that have been filtering through into your world of matter. Stagnation has been the fate of | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| consciousness that is almost unprecedented. But in your world only a relatively small group of individuals is | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
