or spirits -- use this power against divine law. Is that clear? QUESTION: Yes, but there is 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS
each extreme... ANSWER: Certainly the opposite of divine law exists, but that does not mean that God 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS
can then use the power according to divine law or not. I have explained very thoroughly why 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS
inner forces are not used according to divine law, the soul is not free. With one person 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS
this procedure, you will learn to follow the law of reality, accepting yourself as you are and 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS

all your inner currents in relationship to spiritual law and truth. However, if and when you have 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS
if your inner reactions can conform to spiritual law. Only then will you be capable of happiness 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS
only those who follow a very important spiritual law, embrace life wholeheartedly, without fear, without self-pity, without 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS

each fault is a violation of some spiritual law. You may, perhaps, present a fault to me 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH

you have deviated from or broken a spiritual law, be it merely in your unconscious desire-currents. And 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
The severest and most frequent violation of spiritual law that is so often overlooked by human beings 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
of willpower to decide to live within spiritual law. In order to do that, as I have 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
chained. For the more you live in divine law, the freer you must become, and the more 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
must become, and the more you break divine law, the more enslaved you must become. People who 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
see whether it does not deviate from God's law? ANSWER: I would suggest this: In the first 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
what respect you have obviously deviated from divine law in your emotional currents. Sometimes, when you discover 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
of killing by a soldier contrary to divine law? ANSWER: No, it is not. For as Jesus 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
against forces that abuse free will and divine law. If people take the power upon themselves to 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
and sense of responsibility. QUESTION: How does spiritual law correspond with human law in the case of 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL
