again: It is so very difficult for some human beings to understand that such communication is possible 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
idea that a spirit cannot manifest through a human being and that it is merely the medium's 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
that the necessary conditions are met by the human beings who wish to establish such communication. That 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
explanation why it would be impossible for a human being, still in the cycle of incarnations, to 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR

created being, including each one of you, each human being, belongs to one of these particular orders 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
path. Do not believe that there is a human being alive who is entirely free of self-will 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
disregarding all laws -- spiritual as well as human. For what seems advantageous to him, he likes 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR
not discussing such easily recognizable cases. The average human being does not commit crimes or antisocial acts 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR

all your dear ones. When we spirits observe human beings, we can see how badly you need 31 SHAME
But when it comes to spiritual nourishment, most human beings starve themselves. There is a great confusion 31 SHAME

lectures I have mentioned several attitudes in the human soul which are what you might call God-eclipsing 31 SHAME
unhappiness and all untruth that exists in the human soul. To continue this series of lectures on 31 SHAME
there is also shame of the wrong kind. Human beings so often confuse the two kinds of 31 SHAME
are. That is one of the most harmful human tendencies, my friends. When you show yourself to 31 SHAME
You are actually often quite irritated when another human being displays the same fault you are somewhat 31 SHAME
of an extreme as you think. Often a human being opens up about many little things, and 31 SHAME
to live up to the idealized image. All human beings are starved for love; most seek it 32 DECISION-MAKING
