| freedom and their independence. This is the immutable law, which cannot be overthrown. God's laws were created | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| you can pay off your violations of spiritual law in the same life and not in the | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| Plan of Salvation, will act according to the law and become a link in the chain, instead | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| but because it is in accordance with the law of cause and effect you yourselves have set | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| Cause and effect must work out according to law, and God's acts in human history never endanger | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| of an imperfection, of a violation of spiritual law. Such fear can be a large, entangled skein | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |

| from the Bible, a certain prayer or spiritual law. The tools may vary, and each of you | 9 PRAYER AND MEDITATION -- THE LORD'S PRAYER |
| every modality of life there exists a spiritual law. When you are confused by problems in your | 9 PRAYER AND MEDITATION -- THE LORD'S PRAYER |

| well as any trend that breaks a spiritual law. Even if you have a karma from a | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |

| have at one time or another broken this law and have not yet found their way back | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| yet found their way back to recognize this law as the only wisdom, the only right course | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| freedom that can be found only in divine law. There are almost as many human beings as | 11 SELF-KNOWLEDGE -- THE GREAT PLAN -- THE SPIRIT WORLD |
| another -- and all of these violate the law of brotherhood. Each thought of this kind, each | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |
| and development, however, are in accordance with divine law and must eventually be crowned by success. It | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| my friends. As I said, this is the law for all divine processes. Anything substantial and permanent | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| by which you consciously or unconsciously break divine law. This part fears the certainty of the spiritual | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| truth. This again is profound wisdom and divine law. Now I wish to talk about a much | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| build clean and proper thoughts according to divine law is, of course, one of the fundamentals of | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| are the result of your breaking the divine law in some respect, and often in many respects | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| be prepared to accept the workings of the law as a way of honoring God. They will | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| life, and say: I have gone against the law and the effects have to be worked out | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| will find harmony within by going with the law, and will find the love and respect from | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| next step is to meditate on the divine law which your inner trend has broken. Whoever follows | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| and there are only minor deviations from the law within you, it will be very useful for | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| you will have followed a very important spiritual law. Thus health will be gradually restored. This law | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| law. Thus health will be gradually restored. This law has to do with the giving up of | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| not compare your faults and deviations from spiritual law with another's. Your comparison may be all wrong | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| question: Apart from biological reasons and the civil law, what are the spiritual laws in connection with | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| also see whether you have broken some spiritual law in the past, quite unconsciously, by your wrong | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| to learn more about yourself, and about spiritual law, about divine truth and what you have still | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| to be conducted in the light of spiritual law and truth. Currents coming from the higher self | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| ego in the foreground. This is breaking spiritual law and has its consequences in inner disharmony and/or | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| as usually understood. Anything that deviates from spiritual law is sin -- or ignorance, if you wish | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| another person. Sin, or the breaking of spiritual law, is not only something generally established for everyone | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| of God and live in accordance with divine law, you emanate a certain substance that draws spirits | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| to your lower self, if you violate divine law, you emanate a quality that draws the spirits | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| sisters is right. It is according to divine law, and it makes one happy. There are many | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| your inner currents were flowing according to divine law, you would certainly be able to love. Each | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| faults, your fears, and your ignorance of spiritual law. These layers have to disappear, and this can | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| first given it up. You know the spiritual law: first you have to give up what you | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| gift on another human being, and therefore the law must take effect. It is such a simple | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| spite of all resistance, you must see divine law working within you and outside of you. The | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| can be quite sure! This too is a law. And now, my dear friends, I am ready | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| out where your actions go against a spiritual law. The daily review should be conducted in the | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| extent. They can do it only according to law, which is very firmly regulated and very wisely | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| given, and this again is regulated according to law. The fact that you ask for it is | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| believe in the spiritual world or in divine law and order, the logical third alternative is that | 18 FREE WILL |
| knows, and has experienced the truth of the law of cause and effect and of reincarnation, this | 18 FREE WILL |

| against divine law but also against your human law, is apprehended and put in prison. Let us | 18 FREE WILL |
| one does not change the workings of the law. Your present freedom, or lack of freedom, depends | 18 FREE WILL |
| thoughts, and inner reactions. The fact that this law applies to one's present life is noticed and | 18 FREE WILL |
| There would be a discrepancy between the basic law of free will and its application in Creation | 18 FREE WILL |
| has at one time or another left divine law indeed finds it difficult to abide by it | 18 FREE WILL |
| was once yours, where the keeping of the law did not present any difficulty for you. Here | 18 FREE WILL |
| that you did not choose to leave divine law because it was too difficult to keep. In | 18 FREE WILL |
| your personality you have not deviated from divine law -- for this did not happen necessarily in | 18 FREE WILL |
| where you are able to live within divine law in every conceivable respect without any difficulty at | 18 FREE WILL |
| this very state of unhappiness. In breaking the law and experiencing the resulting unhappiness lies the remedy | 18 FREE WILL |
| sick and wrong currents that deviate from divine law. That is when you find the inner causes | 18 FREE WILL |
| occurrences willfully. Due to your deviation from divine law at one time or another, whether in this | 18 FREE WILL |
