| inherent misunderstanding causes a deep guilt in the human soul because you don't know what to do | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| its time is bound to come. How the human soul struggles against this, the ultimate fate of | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| as long as you are incarnated as a human being. However -- as I said before -- | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| Your very reaction is proof of the basic human struggle and unfounded fear of leaving the state | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| the basic fear of leaving the old state. Human beings always fear that because they are more | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |

| better they serve the unwilling part of the human being. All of you who are busy with | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| a spirit -- we will not discuss a human being -- by what it tells you regarding | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| might be possible, but not for the average human being. You would need to have attained a | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| something extremely widespread and general. We can observe human beings who are constantly suffering because of the | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| see these soul forms. Only an extremely wise human being will react to your obsession with rejection | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| mentioned that clairvoyants can see the aura, but human beings do not always carry pictures of their | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| not really sent. This is difficult for my human friends to understand, but there is a difference | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| this: There are so many levels of the human personality, as you all know, and they all | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| a picture language. When you are in the human state, accustomed to a completely different mode of | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| hard for a spirit to express itself in human language. It is a limitation. Imagine it in | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| fact, it is much less confusing than your human language, which is so much more limited. And | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |

| human picture language is more limited than ordinary human language. You must distinguish between the two kinds | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |

| It is inconceivable for the human concept, the human brain. It is utterly impossible. The truth of | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| fully, implies. There is the conflict in the human soul between construction and creativity versus destruction and | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I explained in the lecture on the great human transition, when a person ceases to live in | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and yourself. But do not forget that the human psyche is habit-bound; it is geared to function | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| would be very different. There is in the human soul a center out of which the soul-forces | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| universal laws tend to work freely when the human entity is in harmony with them. However, if | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| is in harmony with them. However, if the human being is in disharmony with these laws, because | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |

| conveyed in a form acceptable and understandable to human beings. A myth, similar to a symbol, concisely | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| can, and often do, damage parts of the human psyche and subtle bodies. QUESTION: I saw in | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| of light and the forces of darkness which human beings erroneously imagine to be raging outside themselves | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| stem from the same basic struggle in the human soul. Modern psychology has recognized the same fundamental | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
