| Those purification spheres exist on various levels of development. There are, further, many kinds of schools and | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |
| also in different degrees, all corresponding to their development, for spirits who have left their bodies behind | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |

| they can only be integrated by steady inner development. The experience of absolute truth is like a | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| of a sudden you discover how the preceding development has gradually proceeded and attained a new stage | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| very quick, but never lasting. Slow growth and development, however, are in accordance with divine law and | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| already in the process of their proper inner development find themselves occasionally, though less often and with | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| pain will no longer be necessary for your development. This does not mean that you should resign | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| thinking leaves out this entire chapter of spiritual development. The next time, my dear friends, I will | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| talk too much about this state, for as development proceeds properly, it comes by itself and needs | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| frequency of vibration, because the higher the spiritual development, the quicker the vibration. Since the fall of | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| with your physical eye. The aim of spiritual development is to eliminate the lower self so that | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| thickly it is hidden depends on the overall development of the respective person. The lower self consist | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| can who have attained a certain level of development. In other words, the mere fact that a | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| spirit who has attained a certain level of development will not only be able to interpret the | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| of overcoming selfishness by the slow process of development, people often act as though they were already | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| one must fight for enlightenment and strive for development in order to purify one's feelings and desires | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| your intuition has awakened through your personal spiritual development, you will feel a distinct difference between the | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| you learn real self-honesty, and your motives for development become purer and purer. Your vision will widen | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| It also explains that in the East spiritual development is much farther advanced, and it is usually | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| viewpoint is always what is best for spiritual development and what serves the Great Plan most efficiently | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| corresponds to his or her general, overall spiritual development. Since no one on earth is harmoniously developed | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| of darkness, according to each person's attitude and development. In other words, one person's lower self may | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| constantly in touch with spirits of varying spiritual development, as well as with the forces and currents | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| it by your laxity in pursuing your spiritual development and through your inclination to take the line | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| as those of certain people of very low development -- a criminal, for example -- they do | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| recognized sins, you are responsible. The higher your development, the more it is your responsibility and duty | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| very wicked or evil trends, the higher your development evidently is. Therefore you possess more enlightenment and | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| number of spirit beings of various stages of development are also close by. In every sphere there | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| inferior to you in his or her overall development, may have this envy specialist around because of | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| maximum you are able to according to your development -- which is very rarely the case -- | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| all children of God, on whatever level of development, would try their best, the spheres of darkness | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| be utilized for true meditation, self- recognition, and development. Daydreaming can be compared, in a way, to | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| in exactly this one direction. The lower the development, the more layers of the lower self cover | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| and eventually becomes nonexistent. But when a certain development is reached, the wish of the higher self | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| yourselves, each one of you. The higher your development, the unhappier you must become if you do | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| fact. A spirit who has reached a certain development has the whole universe at its disposal up | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| cannot get higher until it reaches the respective development. QUESTION: In other words, a lower developed spirit | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| only what is within the realm of his development, or below. There he is free. QUESTION: Would | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| much as possible according to your strength and development. When you do this, you are on the | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| there are people today who can, through their development, remember something of a former life. The memory | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| The memory will come to them. And as development advances, more of the curtain will be withdrawn | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| The dark spirit will rise higher in its development; it will learn -- not directly, not immediately | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| forth or not depends on a person's spiritual development. Granted, there are many, many people living on | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| They have not yet attained the strength and development necessary to follow it; therefore God waits until | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| expect from you because of your basic spiritual development, the more dissatisfied you must be if you | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| if you do not deliver according to your development. Now that you have understood how the call | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| a person on the lowest level of human development knows very little, is still very blind, and | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| other people also. Offer your prayers for general development, for the unhappy souls who have not yet | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| conflicts diminish but also the character and spiritual development of most of the people joining your group | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| as all creatures in their highest form of development, can dissolve this fluid substance so that the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| all created beings in their highest state of development. If their female aspect is prevalent, they merge | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| not even have to be very high in development to recognize this fact. Thus, God created many | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| and so on. Thus only spirits of equal development can share a world, which, in certain states | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| share a world, which, in certain states of development, facilitates life in general but by the same | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| but by the same token slows down individual development. When you keep in mind that your attitudes | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| harmony and disharmony, according to the state of development which the once fallen spirits had reached. Your | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| the individual spirit in its highest degree of development combines the male and the female aspects of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| individual in his or her perfect state of development had the particular characteristic of wise judgement, calmness | 21 THE FALL |
| be accomplished through the same slow process of development as the Fall with its degeneration is natural | 21 THE FALL |
| strive higher. Here conditions exist in which spiritual development can proceed, and in which a free choice | 21 THE FALL |
| with self-awareness, which includes thinking and deciding, can development take place. All the forms of life which | 21 THE FALL |
| and influences of all sorts. This is why development cannot proceed faster; for all the incarnated beings | 21 THE FALL |
| beings were at first so low in their development that they were constantly influenced by their own | 21 THE FALL |
| some of these points may seriously hinder your development. This is why I have been charged to | 21 THE FALL |
| depends entirely on the attitude, goal, and general development of the medium as well as of the | 21 THE FALL |
| that it is the only possible one. Human development could not have proceeded at all in those | 21 THE FALL |
| in another subtle body. The subtle bodies, as development proceeds, will integrate and eventually become just one | 21 THE FALL |
| complement the creation by furthering other aspects through development, so that perfection would be reached not only | 21 THE FALL |
| be perfect within the frame of your present development, for instance, but that does not mean that | 21 THE FALL |
| are absolutely perfect. Someone of a much lower development than anyone of you here can be relatively | 21 THE FALL |
| any good, nothing else will ever bring your development about, enable you to have real faith and | 21 THE FALL |
| your higher self, for the sake of your development, for the love you could only then give | 21 THE FALL |
| humility that is a major requirement of spiritual development and true detachment. Accepting yourself as you are | 21 THE FALL |
| earth we have certain limitations in our spiritual development. Is it possible to burst this, to go | 21 THE FALL |
| not easy. This can only happen when spiritual development has reached a certain point, when a breakthrough | 21 THE FALL |

| downward curve and thus be further back in development than some souls who are obviously in a | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| incarnations, is the density there indicative of the development? Can one become suddenly so high or so | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| too, unless you reach a certain stage of development. Then you can see those which are of | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you can see those which are of lesser development. Does that mean that there is an equivalent | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
