| you want to call it. I want to give you the spiritual angle on this subject. And | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| independent; you do not need outside conditions to give you harmony and security. You are swimming right | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| do not really make you happy; they may give you a moment's satisfaction, but never peace of | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| do not think that little joys will then give you less pleasure. On the contrary, while now | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| whole process is extremely healthy and it will give you infinitely more strength than any type of | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| count in the real sense. While you may give something, you may hate the idea. Not only | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| no means suggesting that it is advisable to give in to one's lower nature; one must fight | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| to oneself does not mean that you should give in to your lower self, but that you | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| miss the complete picture. These three reasons together give the main explanation, or at least answer your | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| waiting for an opportunity to inspire you to give in to your particular faults. And since it | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| the world of spirit. I will try to give you a picture of this, though it can | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| your consciousness while you were incarnated. People who give in to the lower self create forms that | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| would follow the line of least resistance and give in to the lower self, and nurse it | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| former incarnation? ANSWER: At this opportunity, may I give a short explanation to all my new friends | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| of the divine plan cannot and will not give this kind of information unless it serves a | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| is merely an interesting speculation, we do not give such information, because if we were to handle | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| now. As a matter of fact, I will give a whole lecture on this subject, which will | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| your doubts. Just let your soul speak and give you the answer. This can happen if you | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| change when you know certain truths. This will give you direction and purpose, while now you often | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| accomplished. Your own failures, which are unavoidable, will give you strength instead of weakness when you view | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| It seems to you so much easier to give in to a mood of depression and hopelessness | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| is wrong, yet he is not ready to give it up; he wants it nevertheless. The willpower | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| truly in the hands of God, if you give yourself up to Him, you must become happy | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| important and so attractive, or so hard to give up, will then appear like a burden you | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| time that it is so difficult to really give your life up to God, with all that | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| some validity? ANSWER: I am not entitled to give information on that. I have said so before | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| toward you. By the same token, if you give in to your lower self, if you violate | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| God, who seek God, so that they may give in to their weaknesses. The spirits earn special | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| they become disgusted with themselves and may thus give up the fight altogether. I said often that | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| do not fight against it and do not give in to your lower self. If your lower | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| first step and necessary prerequisite before you can give to others, is self-development, self-purification, and self-knowledge. It | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| and weaknesses. How much are you willing to give up all this? First this sacrifice will appear | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| There is a reason why He does not give you the realization of all this before, but | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| By the same token, everyone knows that to give to one's brothers and sisters is right. It | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| out, if I may say so, is to give financially. It hurts least and it means the | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| Everyone knows, on the other hand, that to give love is the greatest gift of all. And | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| asks nothing better than to be able to give love. But how many of you find yourselves | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| I mean that the love you wish to give forth is already within you. You cannot receive | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| you want to receive love, you have to give it first. Impressing other people, whether you do | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| giving love. On the other hand, you decidedly give love in the deepest sense when you give | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| give love in the deepest sense when you give and show yourself as you really are, without | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| any better than I am, and this will give him or her a lift. He or she | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| know the spiritual law: first you have to give up what you want to gain. You have | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| chosen until now in its blindness. If you give up your ego in this way, you bestow | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| will also apply partly to yourself. I cannot give you a completely personal answer here; it would | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| nevertheless, there are certain points which I can give you to help you get a little further | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| what others have observed about you. This will give you a very important clue which will direct | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| eaten for years.... ANSWER: Well, I cannot possibly give you in this short time a technical explanation | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| only because his free will directs him to give in to the lower part of his nature | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| you yourself have set in motion. Let me give you an example. Suppose a murderer, a man | 18 FREE WILL |
| difficulties for humankind. However, I will try to give you an explanation though it is difficult for | 18 FREE WILL |
| divine law and divine will, it will never give you peace. However, it is also possible for | 18 FREE WILL |
| achieve this. I will be very happy to give you the ideas and the system I employ | 18 FREE WILL |
| harmonious person, a very happy person can really give, love, and help. Thus the goal of the | 18 FREE WILL |
| detail. For the present this should suffice to give you an idea of how extremely grave and | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| pervades you, then you will be able to give it to the one to whom it is | 19 JESUS CHRIST |
| friends, most of you believe that when I give a lecture I freely and arbitrarily choose the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| the idea of joining your group. This will give you some idea of how much work and | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| those not yet ready and mature. This may give you an idea of the organization in the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| rather than understand it intellectually. Only this will give you real understanding; in a sense it may | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| ever happen suddenly. Here I would like to give you another example of this process that may | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| or jealous because of the love you may give to your present partner. This is not so | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| how you learn it, if you learn to give love, you come a step nearer to God | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| his or her place. Your innermost self will give you the message whether or not you have | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| must all realize, my friends, that I can give you only a very rough outline of all | 21 THE FALL |
| This is why I have been charged to give this series of lectures, even though some of | 21 THE FALL |
| Or if it is difficult for you to give up your vanity, or your selfishness, then that | 21 THE FALL |
| to remain in the background; for another, to give something, whether materially or spiritually. Everyone has different | 21 THE FALL |
| tell you what your faults are. This will give you knowledge about yourself and will teach you | 21 THE FALL |
| development, for the love you could only then give and receive, for your complete fulfillment. Are you | 21 THE FALL |
| of the world of God, I have to give you truth, whether it is comfortable or not | 21 THE FALL |
| otherwise. That is the difference. This example should give you an idea of your power to break | 21 THE FALL |
| communication with the spirit world of God can give is a very valuable one. But everyone who | 21 THE FALL |
| into domination. And, of course, Lucifer would not give up the dominion he held over his followers | 22 SALVATION |
| -- to remain faithful to God and not give in to these temptations aggravated by hardships. If | 22 SALVATION |
| read the Bible now, your own imagination can give you a better idea than before of the | 22 SALVATION |
| comfort, and the way of least resistance to give in to one's faults. Whether the faults are | 22 SALVATION |
| spirit world fulfills the requirements and wishes to give such a sign. But ordinarily you will not | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| but it is not entirely correct, it will give a false idea. Co-creation would mean that God | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a certain number of possibilities are open. We give leeway for all these possibilities when the time | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| own development and in what I have to give to God. This knowledge must be the material | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| others. I would be very happy, occasionally, to give advice in a more specific form. Thank you | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| shall not prevail against it; And I will give thee the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| blessing for each one of you. May it give you the strength to find yourself truly and | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| how to go about it. In-between, I may give a single lecture on a particular subject, as | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| happen now. Real truth, absolute truth, can only give reason for rejoicing. I know it is difficult | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| lectures on the Pistis Sophia, I will then give you at one time or another a little | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| but in your case I would like to give you special advice and I will need a | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| by one answer or simple advice I could give you now. This you must understand. The only | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| can see thoughts. But mostly I will not give an indication of this. There are times, again | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| times, again according to law, when I may give hints -- and only the person himself or | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the active and passive forces. I will soon give a lecture on this subject. Both forces have | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| regularly. QUESTION: The law is, you have to give up what you want to gain. How can | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| here my ego intrudes again. I have to give up craving recognition by others -- or whatever | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this very question: Am I really willing to give it up, or do I do it because | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| truth is that you are not able to give it up at all. If you really want | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| way, indeed, to recognize your present inability to give something up. It is the only way, for | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your spiritual teacher. And if you can really give up without letting the other person involved know | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| questions, so that I will be able to give at least a short lecture on a topic | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a heavy and thick cloud. Ask God to give you the strength to penetrate this cloud, to | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you the strength to penetrate this cloud, to give you at least a small view of truth | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| begin that many of the words I shall give you in these particular lectures can be treated | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| decent person, not to commit so-called sins, to give love, to have faith, and to be kind | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| find out the reason, and this alone will give you the strength you need. Furthermore, I can | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| I realize that my description will not really give you an adequate picture. QUESTION: I would like | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| a very long time to become ready to give up its faults, its resentments, its sluggish ways | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| is wise and just and He will not give you more than you can bear or accomplish | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| rob you of time and effort you could give to other necessary of desirable things. Consider rather | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| Of course, in these general lectures I cannot give individualized or personal guidance for the manner in | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| can work on this path. But I will give you certain basic facts to go by as | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| helpful and fruitful this will be. It will give you food for thought; you will help each | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| the next general session here. This will also give great joy to you. So, begin by making | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| if you are low and discouraged, do not give in to your mood so easily. Ask God | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this path and trust God that He will give you what you need for it. And now | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| humility alone will make you really strong and give you the power to distinguish when to keep | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| group. The higher spirits may be trying to give certain advice or hints about personal errors, as | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| coarse. Now such people may be tempted to give in to these instincts and perhaps kill someone | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| purification, or whatever other name you chose to give it, guidance starts in, partly from guardian spirits | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| broken by this fault. And this will then give you the proper meditation how to handle the | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| really learn to sacrifice. Not only must you give up your comfort and some of your time | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| much more comes to you, and you can give it to many. But if you have very | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| the positive quality becomes inexhaustible. The more you give then, the more will come out of you | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| different interpretation of the word love. Can you give us an interpretation? What qualities does a person | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| a person have to have in order to give it and receive it? ANSWER: I think I | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| that may indicate his spiritual foundation. That will give you a clue where he has his difficulties | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| blessings for each one of you. May He give you the strength and the courage and the | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| reactions and feelings that will come up and give them clear expression. They may say to you | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| do not see any reason why I should give up what I like. Why should I sacrifice | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| will even seem warm and soothing. It will give you healing power for all your problems on | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| on all levels of your being. It will give you a wonderful harmony, security, and victory that | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| before God. Make yourself empty. Be ready to give up everything. If it takes weeks or months | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| you will be far enough. But do not give up entirely, under some pretext, surrendering to God | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| a pattern will evolve. It may still not give you a clue concerning what is wrong in | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| am telling you about this not merely to give you information about the higher spheres, for that | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| goal. The outer will must be serene and give leeway for life's hindrances and imperfections that make | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| am speaking generally. I have no right to give you the answer. It would weaken you. It | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| With this I certainly do not wish to give the impression that I advocate war. By no | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| or superconscious -- whatever name you choose to give it -- that you are listening to. Communication | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| mean that it is always so. I could give a more thorough explanation why it would be | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| perfection is the path of purification. This may give some of you good material for meditation. At | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| by the people around you. So you must give up the desire to put your own person | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| not your own happiness, but the service you give and are to others. But do not deceive | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| yet human shape or outer appearance does not give an indication of the entity's development. This is | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| easier for the people around you to actually give you the love and respect you desired in | 31 SHAME |
| despondent that you despair of yourself, wishing to give up, and you consider self-acceptance to be senseless | 31 SHAME |
| cried for, even if that person does not give you a single piece of advice. Your spirit | 31 SHAME |
