| the forms of the thought/feelings emanating from wrong images are static and congested. They do not give | 38 IMAGES |

| bound to occur, perhaps in response to similar images in the parents or others around the growing | 38 IMAGES |
| to your life's problems is to make your images conscious. I can give you advice on how | 38 IMAGES |
| in your desire to find and dissolve the images in your soul -- for your life is | 38 IMAGES |
| can cooperate in your quest to find your images. This work requires, among other things, humility, which | 38 IMAGES |
| respect. Perhaps you also fear to face your images. But how shortsighted this is, my friends! It | 38 IMAGES |
| think so. Unconsciously you are convinced that your images protect you. Let me give you a very | 38 IMAGES |
| life. Now how can you find your personal images? Not by trying to change the symptoms, whatever | 38 IMAGES |
| No one but you is responsible for your images. True, you did not know any better when | 38 IMAGES |
| physical law, like the law of gravity. Your images influence the universal current entering your personal life | 38 IMAGES |
| see realistically that the sooner you find your images of your own accord -- and not because | 38 IMAGES |
| your own accord -- and not because your images keep acquiring new twists so that life is | 38 IMAGES |
| the test but also to search for your images. Your unconscious wrong conclusions are directly responsible for | 38 IMAGES |
| given time. And in order to find your images, you cannot be impatient with yourself, for it | 38 IMAGES |
| process. And even after you have understood your images, the reeducation of your emotions, long-conditioned to follow | 38 IMAGES |
| anything for God -- although without understanding their images they will never truly succeed. The more happiness | 38 IMAGES |
| broader scale have nothing to do with your images. But if you encounter limitations placed on your | 38 IMAGES |
| that certainly has something to do with your images. I will retire now with blessings of a | 38 IMAGES |
| in the last lecture, I discussed the inner images, the wrong impressions and conclusions that a human | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| I spoke about the importance of finding these images. That is the only way you will be | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| will continue to happen until you dissolve the images. As in outer space, so in your own | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| dear friends, before you start searching for your images, you need to know several important facts. The | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |

| strength. I am continuing this series about the images in the human soul, for there is no | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| those impressions wrong conclusions were drawn. These very images are responsible for your suffering, for the phantoms | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| you have not yet found and dissolved your images you are ensnarled by them. You are constantly | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| in this endeavor. Those who search for their images cannot help but go through confusions and upheavals | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| tonight I will discuss a few more concerning images and the search for them. Often you do | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| early surroundings. This, my friends, is the way images are created. But you will not remember offhand | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| long time before we started to discuss the images, I mentioned the term emotional maturity. Now you | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| assimilated what you otherwise learned. That is why images cannot be found unless one relives emotionally one's | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| is out of the question to find your images. That is why I have suggested certain techniques | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| old or less. The tragic thing about the images is that they assume power. They will make | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| Thus they are inflexible and rigid. Therefore, your images and their conclusions must repeatedly bring you into | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| this. The rigidity, the unyielding nature of the images generates the following sequence of events: You want | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| this when you search for and discover your images. It will help you considerably, my friends. All | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| who does not have his or her own images, and similar incongruities. If you conversed with a | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| people do not realize this and keep their images covered. Therefore you certainly have a great advantage | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| childish stupidities. When you first search for your images, you will probably be more concerned with your | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| only in what respect you have reenacted your images, going from one pattern to another, but you | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| will agree. Yet, after you have found your images, you will see that every event, regardless of | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| we turn to other questions. QUESTION: How do images and complexes combine? ANSWER: A complex is a | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| these would be the complexes. QUESTION: You say images are a general fact, everybody has them. Why | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| have them? Why does one have to have images? ANSWER: Everybody does have them, but you do | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| really can't do anything was caused by our images? ANSWER: You understood correctly. Except when it is | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| your image. QUESTION: This means that karma and images make a vicious circle? ANSWER: Of course. If | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| birth, now that you have learned about the images you will understand how it works. You may | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| it if you so choose. So, karma and images must work hand in hand. If you have | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| If in this present life you find your images and wrong conclusions, you will understand, see and | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| karmic effect, how does that combine with the images? What kind of image would there be? ANSWER | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| dear friend, there are millions of possibilities of images. I cannot possibly enumerate them all. You will | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| various entities involved. QUESTION: Do I understand that images can be either karmic or non-karmic? ANSWER: They | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| age, to lighten, to ease the formation of images in a child? ANSWER: Of course it is | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| the main image. When you have the little images, you may at times already experience this feeling | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| childish mentality that continues to exist in your images. The child knows only extremes: good or bad | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| your inner work, you penetrate your soul, your images, your wrong conclusions, the layers of your errors | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| only your problems and conflicts, but also your images and how they were formed. To find the | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| and how they were formed. To find the images, you have to work from two sides: (1 | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| we have begun to work on the personal images that formed during your childhood and that are | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| food for thought. Not only personal and individual images but mass images, race images, national images, historical | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| Not only personal and individual images but mass images, race images, national images, historical images exist in | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| personal and individual images but mass images, race images, national images, historical images exist in each time | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| individual images but mass images, race images, national images, historical images exist in each time and civilization | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| but mass images, race images, national images, historical images exist in each time and civilization. This point | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| is affected to some extent by the mass images. They affect you more or less according to | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| less according to the nature of your own images. So it is important for you, my friends | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| you, my friends, to realize that such mass images exist. This realization will take you a step | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| strengthens your own personal one. So many mass images exist that it would be impossible to enumerate | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| sick. All humanity is affected by it. Mass images exist on every conceivable subject. Think about this | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| my friends. You will discover how many mass images or illusions exist that affect your personal life | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| around self-responsibility. Here you have two opposite mass images following one another as action and reaction. Now | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| incarnations. QUESTION: I suppose that racial and religious images also form part of the mass images? ANSWER | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| religious images also form part of the mass images? ANSWER: Of course. QUESTION: So, in the cycle | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| through all kinds of race and especially religious images. Then the incarnations are all mixed up. This | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| universal and psychological processes. Take, for instance, the images. When an image exists and brings a person | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| attract that which corresponds. The whole concept of images can be understood only when one realizes the | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| the law of affinity. QUESTION: Regarding the mass images: Are we then born into a race-image and | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| much involved with their own race or creed images because their personal psychological factors, that is, their | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| creed image. They have already dissolved their personal images to some extent, or they have different personal | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| to some extent, or they have different personal images that are less interdependent with the respective mass | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| and broaden their views. This destroys their mass images and, eventually, often affects their personal images. The | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| mass images and, eventually, often affects their personal images. The same will happen in religion. Therefore, it | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| of unity and freedom from illusion, or mass images. Certainly, violence and hatred, prejudice and selfishness, all | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| regeneration. Petrified life force means degeneration. In your images, your wrong conclusions, your conscious and unconscious ignorance | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| This should furnish an important clue for the images and wrong conclusions. Incorporate this approach into the | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| them. It is not a prerequisite that all images be found and dissolved before one can work | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| been made, some results of the search for images should have been achieved. But one absolute prerequisite | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| is causing my main problems? I repeat, the images do not have to be dissolved, but the | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| work you are doing, you find in your images a rigidity, an obstruction. You rightly call this | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you can detect this basic error in your images, you will make a great step forward. It | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| involve a personal risk. Identifying and analyzing your images and wrong conclusions will lead you finally to | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| Without exception, there are common traits in all images. Only the relative proportions of the traits vary | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| who work on this path go through your images from this viewpoint, you will find where your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| when you have a basic understanding of your images and image conclusions, for your own clarification separate | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| my subject tonight begins in childhood, where all images are formed. The child is helpless; it needs | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| one feels. Many personal as well as mass images are gathered along the way, all helping to | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
