| cannot overcome what you do not know. Each fault is nothing more or less than a chain | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| disharmony with another person, it is necessarily one's fault. ANSWER: I did not say that. The actual | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| may be in a whole chain reaction, one fault leading to another, until finally the manifestation appears | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| lie. It is therefore better to commit a fault outwardly again and again, if it is recognized | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| only on a path of self-knowledge. Find the fault in you that is responsible for your outer | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| responsible for your outer hardship and eliminate the fault, knowing that the outer manifestation of the root | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| can be expected of you. A so-called minor fault may count just as heavily for you as | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| murder who influences a human being. If your fault is selfishness, there will be a selfishness specialist | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| a selfishness specialist attached to you. If your fault is that you are inclined to furious outbursts | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| have this envy specialist around because of this fault. So you must bear in mind that it | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| often you follow these inspirations. The stronger the fault is within you and the less aware you | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| not do so, the moment you overcome a fault, you fight against your lower self, you desire | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| you who will encourage you further in this fault. And so on. What comes out of you | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| from God. It is not so much the fault in itself that is damaging, but rather that | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| I said often that stumbling into the same fault in itself is not bad, provided it is | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| his soul. Perhaps such a person overcomes another fault, even though he has not lived his life | 18 FREE WILL |
| world. And that it has happened is the fault of humankind. You have invented labels to which | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| Christianity after the life of Jesus was another fault grown out of the same bad root of | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| the original divine aspect of them. For no fault could come into existence by itself; it is | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| perforce blind to your surroundings. And each individual fault of yours stands in the way of unfolding | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| it is often necessary to consider the same fault or trait from new angles, under a different | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| as to understand the various effects this same fault may have on your surroundings. When you say | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| never is. Usually it is not just one fault that is responsible, because one fault is always | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| just one fault that is responsible, because one fault is always connected with another. There is a | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| a step further. You all know that each fault is a violation of some spiritual law. You | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| some spiritual law. You may, perhaps, present a fault to me in a lecture session; ask me | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| you which spiritual law is broken by this fault. And this will then give you the proper | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| you the proper meditation how to handle the fault. And so you can make further connections if | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |

| to realize. You may not think fear a fault, but I am telling you that it is | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| for you to understand why fear is a fault. First you should understand that these three main | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
