| This stream of life manifests differently to each individual. It is at once universal and intensely personal | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |

| is not being in touch with any specific individual in the nonphysical world, but that all beings | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| are one and the same. Hence, when an individual is convinced that life itself is a certain | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| turn out to be exactly that for this individual. This is not the absolute reality of life | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| it is the relative reality of the particular individual. Needless to say, this does not apply only | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |

| in fact, this pull must exist in every individual. It is directed toward union, as the term | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| self, really mean? What does union with another individual mean? How does this apply to a human | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the whole plan of evolution aims at uniting individual consciousnesses, for only in this way can separateness | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| really union. Only the actual contact of one individual with another establishes the requisite conditions in the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| is exhilarating and, at the same time, peaceful. Individual consciousness opposes this force, however, out of the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| death conflict. This conflict manifests differently in each individual. But one thing can be said with certainty | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| is always threatened by the attached negativity. The individual thus becomes a helpless straw between the two | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| it is generally understood by all spiritual leaders, individual struggle will be helped considerably. Not knowing this | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |

| ears. The universe is so constituted that each individual creature is capable of being in a constant | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| of being. It is the natural law. An individual who is not in a state of bliss | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| constantly strives for it. Whether or not the individual is capable of realizing that this striving is | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| laws that work in life and in the individual -- as distinct from allegiance to handed-down values | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| lacking. Now, why is integrity damaged when an individual refuses to come to autonomous conclusions about life's | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| matter of cowardice. Lack of courage induces an individual to rote repetition of handed-down moral codes. People | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| conformity to a specific group of people the individual believes he or she desperately needs and cannot | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| do not want to look at? When an individual raises this question, answers will come forth in | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| of the effect it can have on the individual. The whole of life must drastically change when | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| of awareness. Now, who bears the responsibility? Each individual, himself. The truth so difficult to face for | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| but, in the last and deepest analysis, each individual entity is responsible for himself. Whatever happens in | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| cannot be untrue to its own nature. Every individual consciousness is universal consciousness -- not just a | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| this much deeper existential conflict, far beyond the individual neuroses and personal difficulties the child experiences that | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| precondition of such resolution is that first the individual neurotic conflicts must be found and understood. You | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| forever new ways to experience itself. As an individual consciousness separates itself further and further from its | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| it seems to be a totally separate entity. Individual existence is therefore associated only with separate existence | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| up the ego must then appear to the individual as an annihilation of its unique personal existence | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| about yourself, the more you will realize that individual existence is not surrendered when the involuntary processes | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| life reconciles the apparent opposites of being an individual and being at one with all others, an | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| is given up as the sole form of individual existence. Spheres of consciousness that have transcended the | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |

| can only be understood in terms of the individual consciousness and those aspects of consciousness which each | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of neglecting other areas. The experience of each individual is, as you already know, a result of | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| because the ego relinquishes its hold and the individual surrenders to the cosmic, universal forces -- in | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| she fears this total, trustful surrender. Such an individual experiences the greatest amount of bliss and, also | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of course, one very substantial reason why the individual prohibits the free-flowing soul movements, the cosmic flow | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| net of entanglement becomes tighter and tighter; the individual is completely ensnarled in this trap of misconceptions | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| they are downright insufficient and must leave the individual uncertain, insecure, inadequate. The real self, on the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| that cannot be heeded too much if the individual is to effect self-realization and to establish contact | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| inspiration that set the pace and direct the individual path. The ego must, again and again, select | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| its limitation as to the deep wisdom, the individual rhythm of the path, the timing, the strength | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| of the universe, as it applies to each individual life manifestation. When you look at your life | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| by little, when these two parts of the individual unite, does it become obvious that they have | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| conscious and unconscious of the personality, so with individual and universal consciousness. This applies both to the | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| of it. It is impossible to determine where individual consciousness ends and universal consciousness begins. Your own | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| discussed many of them and you, in your individual pathwork, have found many more than we can | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| to be wrong and therefore denied. Thus the individual remains in a painful state of dependency and | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| city, of every group. Just as with the individual, this consciousness is partly constructive, partly destructive; what | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| more the world consciousness must change. Thus each individual contributes much more to the shape of the | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| because they do not appreciate you as an individual, but because they cannot handle the feelings. Only | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| source is the divine universal self within each individual being. The process of death itself should appear | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| sought and more or less regularly pursued. The individual makes these experiences possible through the right attitude | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the same order. Yet you cannot force your individual path to imitate the sequence of the lectures | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| As you know, it is part of the individual work to painstakingly examine where such collective labels | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |

| it first to your own self, to your individual problems, and in the application transcend the problems | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| and closing, opening and closing. The more the individual consciousness of an organism is removed from its | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |

| so does this organism. This applies to both individual and collective entities such as nations, groups and | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| individuals, just as the overall consciousness of an individual reflects the sum total of his or her | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |

| This discovery has a revolutionary impact on the individual. Not knowing this makes the tension and suffering | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| be a purely emotional manifestation. For example, the individual may assume responsibility for others in the sense | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
