| is this hour. There are twelve basic active forces and twelve basic passive forces or principles in | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| twelve basic active forces and twelve basic passive forces or principles in the universe. According to the | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| to the scheme of the Pistis Sophia, these forces are concentrated in the highest realm of light | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| way. The whole universe is penetrated by these forces and an infinite variety and combination of them | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| But in the latter sphere, the principles or forces as well as their personified entities are visible | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| human beings exploit and direct these principles or forces determines their lives, their harmony, and their happiness | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| deal of activity and willpower. When the active forces are used in the channels destined for the | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| frustration for the human being. If the passive forces replace the active ones, entering the channels where | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| about by the wrong use of the active forces will occur not only in the general development | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| need to find out in what respect the forces should be active or passive. I will try | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| do need your willpower. However, where the passive forces should hold sway, and where they are unfortunately | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| they are unfortunately often replaced by your active forces, are all the instances in which you cannot | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| the right channels; and so will the passive forces. Yes, my friends, this change will and must | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| now, humanity is often forced to battle against forces that abuse free will and divine law. If | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| that the twelve active and the twelve passive forces are also personified. It is the same with | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| well as their emanations. The emanation of these forces, condensed in a spiritual form of extremely fine | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| have a very limited perceptive capacity. The individualized forces are recognizable in this reservoir and yet they | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| is no risk involved. This longing for love forces the subject to struggle to maintain the idealized | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| fully and keep them willingly, not because life forces you to do so. Then, and only then | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| perfectly well. You become so paralyzed by the forces of evil you have drawn toward you that | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| thin the wall between you and the divine forces waiting to stream into your soul. You have | 36 PRAYER |
| and negative. Your lower nature, abetted by the forces of darkness, likes to believe that to be | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| is now very strong. In former times the forces of darkness did not need to resort to | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| good will have the effect at which the forces of darkness constantly aim. Their new tactics do | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| feelings and bad thoughts add to the destructive forces in the universe. If you could even dimly | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| universe is suffused with a number of divine forces. Thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that are unconnected with | 38 IMAGES |
| sense, if you remain governed by your unconscious forces and by the erroneous and ignorant conclusions that | 38 IMAGES |
| it may be, cannot meet with the true forces of the cosmos. Like attracts like, and this | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| rule of it. The unfoldment of the universal forces is manifold and varied. Nothing must be curtailed | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |

| Therefore all these healthy and beautiful strengths and forces of the universe that the soul needs for | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| it, outside the image, paint the many-colored cosmic forces in beautiful, harmonious motion, and also show how | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |

| more, not only at particular times when these forces are strongest in the universe, but at all | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| at this opportunity. During such a lecture the forces build up a sphere that establishes such a | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| unbearable, still lives within you, and this emotion forces you to withdraw your love. But that is | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| can truly, lastingly be successful. Receive these special forces, all of you. Let the golden rays penetrate | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| I gave about the active and the passive forces, in which I said that both currents are | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| of currents. The highest angel of the active forces is not disharmonious in his activity, as an | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| misunderstanding. Many people on earth misdirect their sexual forces and therefore think that sexuality as such is | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| in peace, be in the Lord. 44. THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX Greetings in the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Tonight I would like to discuss three particular forces in the universe: the love force as it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| force. These are three distinctly different principles or forces that manifest differently on every plane, from the | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| fact, it is little known that three separate forces exist and what the differences between them are | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| erotic force is one of the most potent forces in existence and has tremendous momentum and impact | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| always have to be that way. These three forces -- love, eros, and sex -- often appear | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Only in the ideal case do all three forces mingle harmoniously. The sex force is the creative | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| to achieve a harmonious blend of all three forces. In rare cases, eros alone, without sex and | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| flow in one current. The more the three forces remain separate, the unhealthier the personality is. Another | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Although love cannot be perfect unless all three forces blend together, there is a certain amount of | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| posed the question in terms of three distinct forces, yet you know and sense that something goes | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| partnership of love between two people all three forces have to be represented. With love you do | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| as a magnet draws iron to itself. These forces can be truly understood only when you uncover | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| sense in which I speak. The more hidden forces and reactions in the attitude of the law-upholder | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| that which emotionally represents the enemy, the restricting forces that prohibit your doing what you wish. Authority | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| soul. Whenever something seeks to bring the universal forces out of balance, the healing forces of nature | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the universal forces out of balance, the healing forces of nature step in to bring back the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| are nothing but the creation of nature's healing forces. My dearest friends, I am allowed to bring | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| open the wound, and thus allowing the healing forces of nature to take over. After letting out | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| that was behind the wall. Then the regenerating forces of nature can begin to work. But try | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| at the idea of the existence of the forces of evil, even more than they smile at | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you hear the word evil or the satanic forces, you automatically picture something very specific and often | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| establish what belongs in the category of the forces of darkness or evil. It is not only | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| your lack of knowledge and mature insight, the forces of evil could take a hold on you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| childish selfishness, fear, and a few other obstructive forces. More primitive persons manifest these traits outwardly and | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| the repercussions occur outwardly and directly. The destructive forces are directed openly toward the other person and | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| bring an open result. However, when the destructive forces are kept under lock and key, they fall | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you will dissolve all the destructiveness of the forces of evil that rage in you due to | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| the soul. Tiredness results from suppressing the destructive forces of the soul, barring them from the light | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| like a short circuit occurs when two opposing forces clash in the soul. The life force wants | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| force cannot fill your being, because the opposing forces bottle it up. Without suppression and self-deception, spring | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| absolute truth and cannot be conquered by destructive forces. But that does not mean that you can | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| disease. Now, my dearest friends, God's love and forces of truth are given unto you. They stream | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| helplessness, and the degradation of being punished by forces outside myself. These basic conflicts of love and | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| merely a distortion. They are not two separate forces. It is one current. QUESTION: May I bring | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| involved: temperament, character, the way the various universal forces work in proportion, general development, the particular development | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| in finding what he searches for. The expanding forces must turn destructive, unless the other two principles | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| left to fester. It is not enough that forces which should be put to constructive use are | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| are, while you neglect to cultivate the other forces that need encouragement to grow and blend harmoniously | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
