| confusion which ignores the fact that you are entitled to receive. If this conflict is worked through | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |

| Therefore you become more embittered and feel more entitled to be resentful and negative. The realization of | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| to a certain degree of development a spirit entity is not capable of making any decisions, because | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |

| the state when decisions are made for an entity and when it is ready to make its | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| so that more and more ideas of the entity can be considered. Then there are also cases | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| also cases when the choices made by the entity are still within the realm of possibility, but | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| advise and explain and offer another alternative. The entity then has the right to accept or to | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| according to its own free will. Should the entity reject the advice and then, after the next | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| everything is inscribed. From the time this particular entity has been created up to the present, its | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| it, the whole ledger is shown to the entity. Whether or not the entity is ready to | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| shown to the entity. Whether or not the entity is ready to make his or her own | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| well as with the overall plan for the entity in question. The negative trends and faults that | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| a period in the spirit world when the entity goes through certain schools, receives instruction according to | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| Let us suppose that the task of an entity during his last incarnation was to straighten out | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| tasks in the Plan of Salvation, provided the entity has reached a certain degree of development. The | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| must vary because the free will of the entity to be incorporated into the Divine Order or | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| for rebirth on earth. At that moment the entity is brought again to the authority in charge | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| cycle, who has arranged previous incarnations with the entity and done the accounting after the last one | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| parents may also be karmically linked to the entity, so that a karmic debt may be paid | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| much should be taken on; how much the entity should concentrate in this life on one character | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| earth life. When all has been considered, the entity is given the chance to make its own | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| As I said before, the choices of the entity are never denied dogmatically, and the reasons for | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| the conditions and preparations on earth checked, the entity is led into a different sphere. It is | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| section the lives on earth are prepared. The entity ready for incarnation appears there before a certain | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| who has high authority and great responsibility. The entity to be incarnated comes in contact with his | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| call some assistants who will work on this entity. And again, everything is discussed minutely, and plans | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| been carefully studied and the preparations made, the entity to be incarnated waits until conception has taken | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| not to serve a definite purpose for the entity to come into your world, it will be | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| which must again be in alignment with the entity to be born, certain magnetic fields, rays, fluids | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| you. The moment conception has taken place, the entity to be born is made unconscious. It is | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| back during earth life, but only when the entity leaves the body--in other words, during sleep. Also | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| preparations with certain types of fluids in the entity that are being made by the experts in | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| affect the physical shell. In the meantime, the entity to be born is growing in the body | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| before the nine months are over; then the entity is just waiting in an unconscious state. Sometimes | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| parents, should change their spiritual attitude, then the entity first planned for these parents would not fit | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| attitude would offer the limitations that the particular entity needs for growth. Fewer, indeed, will present the | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| possibility of free-will decision. Let us say, an entity fulfills the most he or she was expected | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| best, though it may be so. If an entity really fulfills his or her very best, his | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| a life may be cut shorter because the entity has fulfilled his or her best. Then the | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| according to which of the many alternatives the entity has chosen. QUESTION: This would explain the astrological | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| nothing but trouble. The basic test of any entity in the body or out of the body | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| of truth. A turning point occurs when the entity begins to see the light, senses the existence | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| In an earlier lecture I explained how an entity is prepared for life on earth; how plans | 38 IMAGES |
| with the same images until life teaches the entity and thus gradually dissolves them. But think how | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| you reach by digging into your emotions. An entity may be incarnated with a certain amount of | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| the qualities, characteristics, and personal trends of the entity. But where an image exists, the forces of | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| may remember that I explained that when the entity is prepared for life, certain problems are left | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| certain cases, then it was good for the entity. It had to go through it. And if | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| And if it was not good for the entity to experience a shock, it would not have | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| be evaluated and assimilated afterward and whatever the entity experiences will be fruitful and not for nothing | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| too pleasant or easy. And then such an entity may ask: Is there no other way to | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |

| spirit. The inherent life-force must finally bring the entity out of its separation. Eros strengthens the curiosity | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| own individual existence. When this is discovered, an entity has reached an important phase in his or | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| resisting such selfish impulses. At this level, the entity has outgrown the most primitive stage, but has | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| resistance, the result must be felt by the entity. We in the spirit world do not judge | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| will remain in the soul, so that the entity will benefit by this habit in future incarnations | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| in this case, the inner problems of an entity would never be solved. For nothing can really | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| which an important lesson cannot be learned. An entity going from one incarnation into another with an | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |

| has brought into this life. The more the entity has developed in former incarnations in this area | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| lead to error. You see, the original spiritual entity is one being, consisting of male and female | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| according to the attitude and emotions governing the entity when it fell. Thus, in some beings the | 53 SELF-LOVE |
