| be activated by confronting the issue squarely and examining what is at stake. You have to give | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |

| into God's hands. I will give you this example: Lucifer has his henchmen; in his realm too | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| faults. Indirect influence is always effective and lasting. Example is always more convincing than words, persuasion, or | 3 CHOOSING YOUR DESTINY -- THE WILL TO CHANGE |
| I must make a choice. This is an example of an inner decision which I have mentioned | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| equation balances out. I will give you an example. Let us suppose that a criminal who has | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| is used to bring about divine justice. The example I just used is a crass one; nevertheless | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| then become a light, a support and an example to others. You will be all this only | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| precisely because they are extremes. Here is an example: The higher a person's development, the more important | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| the process of self-realization. Let us take an example. A person is fighting his selfishness. This fault | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| cannot manifest through the medium. This is an example of the limitations of mediumship. She is open | 8 MEDIUMSHIP -- HOW TO CONTACT GOD'S SPIRIT WORLD |

| understand this. When we touch a tree, for example, the bark is so real to us. Somehow | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| and complete the unfolding of the personality. For example, when a masculine element in a woman is | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| the spiritually active and another, more emotional? For example, meditating on Be still and know that I | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| development of humanity. QUESTION: Is it true, for example, that the twentieth century brings the feminine element | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| how is one to know that? ANSWER: For example, by asking the help of your spirit friends | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| is necessary to gain knowledge from without. For example, take the knowledge of spiritual laws, or knowledge | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| Besides, it does not mean more if, for example, a Goethe speaks through a medium than any | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| Let us take a misfortune on earth, for example a train accident. It is not the task | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |
| in many cases different tones and scents. For example, a person may want something selfish and because | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| is unreal. I will return to the above example. The lower self dictates to the person to | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| because the person is unaware of them. The example of selfishness is merely one instance; there are | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| geographical or material spot and to overlap. For example, one human person can live on earth, be | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| of very low development -- a criminal, for example -- they do not matter so much. Even | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| the lower self. Now here is a good example, because willpower in itself is a most valuable | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| becomes an impure force. Let us take, for example, a criminal. He uses his willpower very obviously | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| of you to present me with a personal example, for at first you may think that a | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| only have a vague idea of it. For example, the spirits cannot possibly interfere with their guidance | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| set in motion. Let me give you an example. Suppose a murderer, a man who has committed | 18 FREE WILL |
| of consciousness and therefore also of happiness. This example may make it easier for you to understand | 18 FREE WILL |
| Here I would like to give you another example of this process that may help you to | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| intellect? ANSWER: This experiment is the very best example to show that intelligence is not in the | 21 THE FALL |
| need twenty otherwise. That is the difference. This example should give you an idea of your power | 21 THE FALL |
| burden alongside His exalted position, He gave another example for the world to follow. Thus, when the | 22 SALVATION |
| but at the same time He set an example for everyone born after Him. So when you | 22 SALVATION |
| exception, also feel this way. Here is an example where both the higher and the lower self | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| less expected of them. Let us take for example souls who are still very young, who have | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| desires: going on a path of purification, for example, or learning to love are such. Overcoming your | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| motive hidden under the good cause. Take the example of a person who is spiritually very active | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| the self. Take a spiritually underdeveloped person, for example, a criminal. Such a person will use self-will | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| only be truly productive if you set the example first. When other people's faults bring you disharmony | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| you. Let me give you a very primitive example: A child has taken a bath; the water | 38 IMAGES |
| is found. Now, this is a very primitive example. Most of the time the emotional reactions are | 38 IMAGES |
| most direct way possible. This is a good example of harmonious interplay between the active and the | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| to one's dearest and most cherished expectations. For example, a child lives with the idea that its | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| same process exists with animals. A dog, for example, may hear the same kind of noise every | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| drew a conclusion. Or, to use a different example: One dog is burned by a fire and | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| not for nothing. Let us again take an example: A person is responsible for many cruel deaths | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| deaths, like in a concentration camp. Since this example was chosen before, we will use it again | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| the person's true nature may be masked. For example, a basically emotional person chooses, because of fear | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| most ungenerous. So both are true. For another example, let us assume you are known to be | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| cajoling for favors. Here you have a good example of the two opposite extremes, both of which | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| are misunderstood, I would like to give an example that is typical. Many people say: By constantly | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| harmonious predominance of one. Let us take the example of man and woman; when they finally merge | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| in its wake. Let me give you an example: If you desire financial security for the sake | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| term with them. Let me return to the example of desiring financial security. Suppose you desire it | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| such understanding can you find the solution. This example is not directed at anyone in particular. It | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| you do not find the connection easily. The example cited may be one such occasion: you simply | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| forward in the direction of inner freedom. The example I gave is just one of many possible | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| and truth. They do not only set an example, but also have a particular strength with which | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| ignorance. Others do not only learn from your example, but they are strongly affected in their subconscious | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| The tiniest issue in a domestic quarrel, for example, is of exactly the same impact and importance | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| cases of persons who left their homes, for example for Arkansas or Arizona for the relief of | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| darkness. Let us take a common and simple example. If someone hurts you, what he or she | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| a founded fear. We are taught here, for example, that fear has a negative connotation and stands | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| to. Great religious teachers want to set an example. This is very important. If all spiritual leaders | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| such luxuries. But a leader who sets the example of attaining his goal on the path of | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| Is it correct that Jesus is the greatest example of the one and Ghandi of the other | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| and therefore life as such. Take the current example of the universal psychological process we so often | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as well get it over with. An extreme example of this is suicide. You are torn between | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| across similar emotional reactions. Here is a typical example of how the instinct of self- preservation shifts | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| one should actually hate. This is a typical example of how unrealistic all negative emotions are. In | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| can be properly assimilated and dispensed with. For example, if you are very afraid of your emotions | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| path, for there are many variations possible. For example, the quest for power may predominate without any | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| contradictory underlying emotions. Let me give you an example. Submissive people, always ready to appease, to be | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| understand that people who are submissive inwardly, for example, may have an underlying power drive -- and | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| probed, so to speak. Let us take an example. Say a man has a predominant power drive | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| Father, Thy will be done. Taken as an example, this could have meant obedience, or it could | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| is the willingness and capacity to understand. For example, from what I have discussed tonight, you could | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| and mental maturity. Let me give you an example on the physical level: an infant will feel | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| imaginary and unreal. Let me give you an example of a real need in the physical realm | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| becomes more stringent. Let us take the following example: To the extent that you are incapable of | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| is drawn out. Here you have a typical example of how dangerous and fallacious it is to | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not daring to see what actually is. For example if your need to be liked is so | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| human contact, makes no difference. Perhaps with this example, simple as it is, you will get a | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| to explain this is by way of an example. Of course, the example can only be a | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| by way of an example. Of course, the example can only be a simplified one, as we | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| relevant for an individual human personality. But the example may clarify a little better what I mean | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| you have formed. If the man in the example is loved anyway, a little investigation would prove | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| to the next step, continuing with the same example. Such a person may be aware of his | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| for you. QUESTION: Would you also give an example of how to relinquish a need, as you | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| need, as you indicated so clearly by the example of how to get the real needs fulfilled | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| is your dilemma. This, incidentally, is a typical example of one of those conflicts described before. You | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| repeatedly in different degrees. I find myself, for example, sometimes impatient with people who do not accept | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| stronger feelings than you actually have, is an example. You might even deceive yourself that you are | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| that work according to their environmental conditions. For example, an electric current will manifest differently in a | 98 WISHFUL DAYDREAMS |
| as you do not feel your hate, for example, you cannot rid yourself of it. It has | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| living meaning of a word is a good example of what happens between the real self and | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| thought process to grow and develop spiritually. For example, you have learned that to be good and | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| and therefore is not genuine. Take a primitive example: Let us suppose some people are poor; they | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| confused. The question you asked is a typical example of such confusion. An omnipotent Creator and man's | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| would think about it. Let us take the example of the loss of a beloved person through | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| these characterize the unhealthy state of depression. The example of loss through death is purposely a crass | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| individuals are different. Let us take a crass example, like murder. Let us assume that two people | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| confusion as to the others especially by the example that is set. Then your group will truly | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| the former case atonement can take place, for example, by talking to the wronged person in candor | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| There are, of course, crass differences, as, for example, between physical psychic phenomena and trance mediumship, or | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| destructive than the original evil, as are, for example, the pseudo-solutions. The false remedy, in this case | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| are split, the effect is influenced accordingly. For example -- as I pointed out in a recent | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| on a subjective inner condition. Here is an example: Let us suppose you sense a detrimental, negative | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| two separate factors. I give you a practical example: you find yourself in a certain space, you | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| identification with such authority. Children need a good example from which to mold their ego, which later | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| possibility to stand free. But if the good example serves only to perpetuate the identification, and thereby | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| laws of the rhythmic movement of time, for example in astrology. Yet only very limited understanding has | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| impedes, the organization as a whole. Think, for example, of a business firm. Different officers fulfill certain | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| interaction and interdependence of these three facets. For example: If you are relatively free of error, of | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| it be possible to give us a specific example, as sometimes you have done in the past | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| This is a very, very frequent occurrence. Another example is the sexual and erotic instinct which in | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| of spirit predominantly incarnated in the society. For example, values differ drastically in a patriarchy from those | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| in this respect. GUIDE: This is a good example. PARTICIPANT: If parents are neglectful in some ways | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| to get love. GUIDE: This is a good example, too. PARTICIPANT: You may also be ashamed when | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| can be observed constantly with children. Children, for example, have a keener sense of smell, of taste | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| that you would encounter it. Take this simple example: if you are convinced of being rejected, the | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| then your own behavior must be rejecting. This example has often been found and discussed, but this | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| harmonious movement of all personality levels. If, for example, movement and consciousness are directed exclusively toward outer | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| balance -- in part blindly wild, manifesting, for example, in uncontrollable hostility, and in part paralyzing the | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
