| incarnations? ANSWER: That depends. Incidentally, this question was answered some time ago. The average is about between | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| or through a person's own efforts? ANSWER: I answered that. I said it cannot be. You have | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and beneficial. But the prayer is not necessarily answered exactly in the way you thought, or as | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| making post-hypnotic effects necessary. If this can be answered and explored to the very bottom, so that | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |
| This, like almost all scriptural quotations, can be answered on many levels. I could not possibly go | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| an absentee that I think was already partly answered. I shall read it: We present our idealized | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| ANSWER: Yes, it is to a large extent answered. Let me add just one more thing. It | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| and the second seemed not to have been answered satisfactorily. They are related. One has to do | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |

| participation in whether or not a prayer is answered, he will lose the sense of helplessness and | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| also add that what often appears like an answered prayer is the strength of an unconflicted mind | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| in the particular area where the prayer is answered, at least at that time. When man comes | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
