| in this case. On the one side, to give in to the immediate comforts is choosing the | 32 DECISION-MAKING |

| to these currents, as long as you cannot give up what your little ego may desire - | 32 DECISION-MAKING |

| If you overcome a weakness and begin to give some love, even before you are capable of | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| can among yourselves, I shall be willing to give you advice to show you the way. Such | 35 TURNING TO GOD |

| and fear inherent in every human being will give way to humility, love, and the willingness to | 36 PRAYER |
| of life. Yet in reality you do not give up anything, but the act of giving up | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| and retiring to a cloister. Such ascetics often give up nothing, while others remain in the world | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |

| problems -- then pray to God. He will give you further guidance and lead you to the | 38 IMAGES |
| convinced that your images protect you. Let me give you a very primitive example: A child has | 38 IMAGES |
| is a necessary step in your development to give up some of the self-will that wishes to | 38 IMAGES |
| learn both from happiness and unhappiness, will not give in to the desires of the lower self | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |

| for you, that the dear God in Heaven give it to you. QUESTION: One of my students | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |

| of what I taught you constructively. It will give you a deeper, profounder understanding and will help | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| a development, and that is the following: First give up thinking about it at all and concentrate | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| for the sake of God, then He may give it back to you a hundredfold when the | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| you can do so. I would like to give the following advice to you, my friends: Think | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| and whatever you may encounter, this approach will give you added understanding about who you are, what | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |

| soul, you reveal a particle of God and give something divine to another person. When eros comes | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| try to share yourself with, the less you give to each. That is inevitably so. It cannot | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| reality you only cover them up and therefore give them much greater power than when you recognize | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| a great deal. I would now like to give you further food for thought. Not only personal | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| all that is important for you. Let me give you some examples. There is a mass image | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| are often faulty. I will help you and give some pointers how to recognize your own particular | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| law-upholders are concerned, who lack the courage to give vent to their true feelings, their predominant qualities | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| difficult to find out which. Once you can give yourself the answer, you can go a step | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| by no means flattering or comfortable -- will give you added peace of mind. The moment you | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| this tendency in yourself. The very teachings I give you can be abused in the same way | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| you first to see the wall and then give you the courage and the humility to break | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| connection with your lecture on authority, could you give any further advice to a person who finds | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| middle path. One extreme is the inability to give up the self and therefore the inability to | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| extremes. The more frequent tendency is to not give up the self at all. Look at it | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| in a healthy and true love one does give oneself up entirely, but one retains the self | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| this may help a little. A prayer will give you the necessary strength to do your part | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| in your findings. Now I would like to give you an additional item to add to the | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| heard you first, as your client he will give you additional material, so that you can succeed | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| you inflicted on other people. Ask God to give you the insight to understand. Have the courage | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| upon yourself, wish to become different, desire to give up your fear of loving. This attitude is | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| wrong image conclusions -- is healthy: it will give you the incentive to lose your fear and | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| guilt upon yourself and face it, it will give you more strength than you realize. It will | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| camouflage your emotional selfishness or ego-centeredness. You may give away your possessions, but you are afraid to | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| willing to pay the price for it. To give up egotism on all levels of your being | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| your cross, which you always make yourself, will give you peace. Accept that you cannot change your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| recognizing the inner roots of outer events will give you the key to your life. So far | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| self-development. Becoming conscious of these hidden currents will give you freedom and victory. Most of my friends | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| If an adult existed who was able to give a semblance of divine love, the conflict we | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| the voice of your divine conscience, it will give you peace and freedom. Let me emphasize again | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| of divine truth is the only way to give love and happiness and to become happy and | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| or whoever else it was who did not give it to you, were wrong. Thus the craving | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| some degree, the proportion between their willingness to give and their compulsive need to receive is very | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| this time in a benign circle. What you give out will flow back, provided you do not | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| out will flow back, provided you do not give in weakness, with a motive of proving something | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| If the motives for the limited love you give are unconsciously based on the great vicious circle | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| well, and even preach, that you have to give love and not be so concerned with receiving | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| to receive more than you were willing to give. They also insisted that you be loved exclusively | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| sleep is profound enough, a ten-minute sleep will give you more rest than a whole night of | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| reach it in that way. If you can give up the slight satisfaction in being hurt and | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| different? This self-questioning is healthy because it will give you a more objective outlook. One can find | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| you will fall into the opposite extreme and give vent to the crude feelings. Having performed a | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| this aim, but that does not mean to give up the right act. In this way, gradually | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| adjust, while doing everything in your power to give them the opportunity to grow. This is best | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| please in creating your own life. This will give you confidence and the deep, absolute knowledge that | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| any questions regarding this subject? QUESTION: Could you give us some examples of abuse of the life | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| plane, separated from others, demanding more than you give, unconsciously, emotionally, psychologically. You rebel against your own | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| he or she cannot let go enough to give himself completely. Therefore, a flatness of feeling will | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| subject. QUESTION: Would you be good enough to give us some ideas on the subject of emotional | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not want to do. Partly it has to give in because the authority is stronger, but partly | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| too strong a desire, or the inability to give up the desire, you act out of fear | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| God should make decisions for you? Didn't God give you free will? Does not free will imply | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| an attempt succeeds at all -- and to give it proper direction by recognizing its deeper meaning | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| avoided. So it is not possible that I give you an explanation of it. Human beings simply | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you. Perhaps on some future occasion I can give you a little more information on this subject | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is necessary for striking proofs, but who can give you different benefits of a higher and more | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a great deal, my friends. It might also give rise to new questions which I will be | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| the other way around. Perhaps this analogy will give you the idea. At any rate, as a | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| these principles are misunderstood, I would like to give an example that is typical. Many people say | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| put it this way. It is ready to give you joy, strength, vitality, and happiness. As far | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| fear must follow in its wake. Let me give you an example: If you desire financial security | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| and vitality you can fulfill more and can give more -- to others and to yourself -- | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| impressions about God, fate, and life. You will give yourself time to grow into the necessary state | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| spiritual help, such as we are allowed to give. It is for all those who truly manifest | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| and weakening. My dear friends, let these words give you renewed incentive and understanding. Although you will | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| incapable of feeling differently. But this self-honesty will give you strength, security, and self- respect. It requires | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| a decent and honest individual, you do not give in to the temptation. You feel it vaguely | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| lectures serve as general material, but they cannot give the method itself. You will do no harm | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| much and not too little, just enough to give you what you need so as to maintain | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| for perfection in order to love better and give more. You do not strive for the sake | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| desire for rulership within yourself and learn to give it up voluntarily, you will give up provoking | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| learn to give it up voluntarily, you will give up provoking unhappiness and misery. It is not | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| only if you learn to see, face, and give up the infantile concept of happiness, rulership, and | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| to acknowledge the falsity of it all and give up the concept and the desire. By bringing | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| a few words on the subject, enough to give you some clarification in response to your question | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| in greater detail in the lecture I will give on the subject. By nature, both qualities are | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| are still closed to them and which would give many many more people the possibility to live | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| light and the strength that we want to give each one of you for the fullness of | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| only if, at one time or another, you give yourself up to it. In other words, what | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| the abyss, losing valuable strength for nothing. To give up your Utopia seems dire misery. The world | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| ways. But all this is not true. To give up Utopia does not make for a bleak | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| a kind of anxiety or a reaction, may give you an acute feeling of shame or guilt | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| that no word and no teaching can ever give you anything better than your own realization that | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| various subtle bodies. The level on which you give out will affect that particular level of the | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| defense mechanism of the other person. I will give you some random examples that I am sure | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| the old and obsolete and illusory. This will give you the sense of things getting worse, feeling | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a cure. QUESTION: The description you gave would give me the answer to a question of compulsive | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| help you understand the incident. This alone will give you the understanding of the principle. Is this | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the present effects. And that is sufficient to give you freedom from fear in the knowledge of | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I will touch upon this only briefly, to give you some food for thought and to urge | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| birth. Woman gives birth physically, while man can give birth in soul, so to speak. The same | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| ANSWER: Man in his real creative self can give birth to beautiful and constructive ideas which can | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| Since woman is also creative, she too can give spiritual birth -- and she does. It is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| then consider the other person. Although I would give the other equal rights, I would consider myself | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that you may not remember the material I give. Had you retained the lecture about the state | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I must, at the danger of being monotonous, give the same answer: the key, strange as it | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as I have stated so often. It will give you understanding of the inner causes of this | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| yourself of the unhealthy and erroneous motives may give you a renewed incentive for doing this work | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| be happy. You wrongly think that should you give in to your desire for happiness, you would | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| In order to accomplish this, you have to give yourself consideration, you have to respect your own | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| gain a different perspective. The different view will give you the desire and activate the free will | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
