| you have to be careful about how to ask. I would advise you to ask in this | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| how to ask. I would advise you to ask in this way: Show me, Father, the real | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| nervousness, and lack of peace of mind, then ask God to help you find your task, to | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| self-knowledge, you might, for instance, sit down and ask yourself, What is most difficult for me to | 21 THE FALL |
| by doing what seems at first so difficult. Ask the people around you to tell you what | 21 THE FALL |
| communicating and what laws are involved, you can ask your heart right now. You will get the | 22 SALVATION |
| Christ faced Lucifer. Now, my friends, I must ask you not to think that all this could | 22 SALVATION |
| this series I encouraged you, my friends, to ask all the questions you have in mind about | 22 SALVATION |
| Quite the contrary. If you are ready to ask anything personal -- of course only concerning your | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| difference between Hitler and Mussolini. QUESTION: May I ask in this connection about Nostradamus who has prophesied | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| be instruments and should surrender to God and ask for guidance and inspiration. Otherwise, it may be | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| questions. QUESTION: Is it all right if we ask first the questions on the Pistis Sophia? ANSWER | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Sophia? ANSWER: Yes, I would suggest that you ask first the questions on the Pistis Sophia and | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I explicitly beg you, my friends, not to ask me which of the disciples do not have | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and draw it out into consciousness. You may ask: How do I go about it? This I | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is so. QUESTION: First, I would like to ask if you can see my thoughts. ANSWER: Not | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| subconscious motive? ANSWER: The fact that you can ask and consider such a question is already the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| others -- or whatever it may be. Then ask yourself this very question: Am I really willing | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the help of God, for which you should ask specifically every time you recognize your inability in | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| can recognize that again and again, and then ask God for enlightenment, strength and higher understanding, to | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| which there cannot be a further step. Then ask God to help you again to have sufficient | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| able to do so without inner resentment. Furthermore, ask yourself: Do I really want to forgive? You | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Go with this resistance to the Father and ask Him to help you. Realize that you cannot | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| -- without shirking from the truth -- and ask God with all your heart to help you | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you are in a heavy and thick cloud. Ask God to give you the strength to penetrate | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| about them deeply. Take them to God and ask Him, if you have doubts. He will answer | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| an adequate picture. QUESTION: I would like to ask whether the Christ spirit is an all-pervading spirit | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| now? QUESTIONER: Yes. QUESTION: I would like to ask something in connection with the fall of the | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |

| shame and vanity, face what is in me. Ask God to help you to achieve that end | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| you follow this system for a while and ask at the same time for God's grace to | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| put yourself into the hands of God and ask Him. Let Him decide for you. But how | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| thought does not even occur to you to ask God for His will in this respect. Another | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| which works quite naturally and impersonally. So I ask you not to consider the decision to take | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this conscientiously, the next step would be to ask someone else, someone who knows you very well | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| and knocks on the door, knowing how to ask, will be answered. I can promise you that | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| new-found friends here. I would advise you to ask those who know you really well. No matter | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| faults, and for listening to them. You can ask in the right way, explaining to them that | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| time and concentration to general deliberations, and instead ask God for help to be able to recognize | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| distorted view the self generally reserves for itself. Ask God to inspire you how to react rightly | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| how to react rightly to enlightenment about yourself; ask for help to receive unpleasant truth from others | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| perhaps plan together what pertinent questions you may ask in the next general session here. This will | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| not give in to your mood so easily. Ask God for proper understanding and light in this | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| easily find it. Then, if you still doubt, ask God for His truth and His will for | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| for His truth and His will for you; ask Christ to help you to be receptive to | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| a fault to me in a lecture session; ask me, and I will show you which spiritual | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| go over my words superficially. Reread them carefully; ask yourself whether you are willing to do it | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| you are truly ready for it? When I ask, are you ready, I do not mean that | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| really willing to sacrifice when sacrifice is necessary? Ask yourself why you want to do it. Oh | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| am ready for your questions. QUESTION: May I ask a question from the Bible? What is the | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| the little contact you may have, you can ask that divine help be given to you in | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| present it to God. Open yourself completely and ask first, What is it that I really want | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| answer, thus clearly establishing your wish and preference, ask yourself, Is what I want perhaps not God's | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| consider letting Him make my decision, I will ask God himself whether He exists. Dear God, one | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| that He knows better. That is all I ask you. There is not one person who cannot | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| unconscious image or belief about God actually is. Ask yourself that question also, for you will be | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| heard these words should go within yourselves and ask: Where is something in my life that God | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| can at least sense a pattern, and then ask yourself, Can I find the point in myself | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| list of faults which you have already discovered. Ask yourself questions as to what your feelings are | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| currents are truly in accordance with divine law. Ask God for enlightenment as to what in these | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| if they simply face the particular issue and ask themselves honest and self-probing questions. Then they will | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| is again to get to know yourself, to ask yourself the pertinent questions. This is really very | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| thinking of the wrong attitudes of others. Instead, ask yourself, What do I really want? Know that | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| during them or during any particular experience. Then ask yourself, What is my desire? And when you | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| it go at that. But the moment you ask more penetrating questions of yourself concerning underlying desires | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| their real motives. Very clearly and very concisely ask yourself the question, What is it I want | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| we want to do, we always have to ask God, Is this Thy will? Or do you | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| for you. The right procedure is not to ask God simply to let you know whether to | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| up more time on this subject. I simply ask you, do not think that because the majority | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| your basic light. Offhand, my friends, you might ask: How do self-will, pride, and fear connect? Why | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| there are blocks you cannot seem to penetrate, ask yourself, How humble is my attitude? Nurse these | 31 SHAME |
| some way. Then, when you feel that attachment, ask yourself: How would I react if another person | 31 SHAME |
| the connection, you may come to me to ask more precise questions, and I will guide you | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| is a price to be paid, you can ask yourself which price you prefer to pay; you | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| carefully about this subject. In your next meditation, ask yourself whether you are too critical about others | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| to that. Test yourself in this respect, and ask if you are not blind to some of | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| clearly. It does not occur to you to ask for the truth of God, because even for | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| a particular importance, I would advise you to ask your guardian spirit to inspire you. And you | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| by the many. Now I should like to ask a favor of you. Always glorify God; do | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| and love as you know them, and then ask yourself whether your striving for God does not | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| your soul. If we are disappointed, you may ask, should we not then turn to God? Yes | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| of what it means spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. Ask yourselves what can be learned from it for | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| you deeper insights necessary for spiritual growth. To ask and to obey is better than nothing. But | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| to obey is better than nothing. But to ask how to find one's own violations and how | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| to achieve this goal. How? -- you may ask. In the first place, prayer is the best | 36 PRAYER |
| There are many who are too proud to ask for a favor. When they pray they have | 36 PRAYER |
| by forming the thought form from various angles. Ask God each day what you have to learn | 36 PRAYER |
| God each day what you have to learn. Ask for His help. This will gradually impress your | 36 PRAYER |
