| tie it in with the topics of my lectures; they always contain material referring to it. I | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| I tried to explain in some of my lectures, the consciousness of the I is expanded and | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| or not. But at any rate, the German lectures will take place less frequently. Before I turn | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| Therefore, spiritual nourishment is, in part, listening to lectures, reading the appropriate literature, and conversing with people | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| But you, my friends, who listen to these lectures -- or read them -- have the necessary | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| join us, it is difficult to present my lectures so that clear understanding may be derived from | 18 FREE WILL |
| justice to all my friends who attend the lectures regularly. On the other hand, if the lectures | 18 FREE WILL |

| time, I suggest they read the last two lectures in order to understand this one which is | 21 THE FALL |
| have been charged to give this series of lectures, even though some of you may not yet | 21 THE FALL |
| I have also treated it occasionally in general lectures, but this is so basic and important that | 21 THE FALL |
| my friends, I will continue the series of lectures I started. Last time I spoke about the | 22 SALVATION |
| being just. As you know from my previous lectures, this issue constituted an essential part of the | 22 SALVATION |
| subject that have not been answered in these lectures. I would like to suggest that you think | 22 SALVATION |
| of fact, you will see particularly from the lectures my friend will start now that this is | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of holding a lecture. I will resume regular lectures after most of your questions have been answered | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as this is possible and postpone the regular lectures. However, I will point this out: There are | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you that I plan a new series of lectures after the present questions -- or some new | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| when you have finished, my friend, with your lectures on the Pistis Sophia, I will then give | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| way round. Now, due to the series of lectures I have given on the Fall and on | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| by following my instructions in the series of lectures I will begin shortly. I mentioned earlier that | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of you, my friends. From all my preceding lectures you will have understood one thing clearly: the | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| words I shall give you in these particular lectures can be treated as a meditation. You should | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| I remind you of one of the last lectures, The Fall, that explains how this error could | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| you to go back to a few previous lectures, if there is any particular point which you | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| to them differently. Of course, in these general lectures I cannot give individualized or personal guidance for | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| some of my advice, simply by reading these lectures, or simply by meditating and praying every day | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| always get some practical benefit out of these lectures for use in your actual life, right here | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| Since you have heard the preceding series of lectures dealing with the Creation and the Fall, you | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| means to acquire this food. In my previous lectures I have mentioned several attitudes in the human | 31 SHAME |
| the human soul. To continue this series of lectures on self-development, I will discuss tonight a new | 31 SHAME |
| those of my friends who are following the lectures and study with me on this path of | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| and even spiritual people say, when hearing these lectures, that it is not good to think so | 33 OCCUPATION WITH SELF -- RIGHT AND WRONG FAITH |
| the benefit of those who missed the preceding lectures in this series, I would like to say | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| to fulfill a mission. In the two previous lectures I started to indicate how the images can | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| pushed into the unconscious. In many of my lectures, a long time before we started to discuss | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| having done the tedious work outlined in these lectures. By doing this work you will understand not | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| affinity has already been discussed considerably in previous lectures. Practically everything I say and teach is based | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| on image-finding. What I have said in the lectures on this subject has surely shown you that | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| We are told in one of the past lectures that no human being can love completely or | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| Those of you who simply come to these lectures but do not participate in group work can | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to repeat now. QUESTION: In one of the lectures you mentioned the picture language which is used | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| contact with this group, but who read the lectures with interest. Attention has been brought to us | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| the work itself cannot be conveyed by the lectures. The lectures serve as general material, but they | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| itself cannot be conveyed by the lectures. The lectures serve as general material, but they cannot give | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| clearer picture if I remind you of the lectures on the Creation and the Fall. Ever since | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| on earth, as you all know from the lectures and teachings you have received, is a world | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| development and purification. The second phase of my lectures dealt with the obstructions in the human soul | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| that I have said today and in recent lectures can be material for many months of work | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| things I have been telling you in these lectures. This means, of course, a very serious effort | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| can do. That is all any of these lectures can do. QUESTION: I would like to ask | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) QUESTION: Are you able to receive thought messages | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| friends who cannot attend personally but read these lectures. So give up your shyness and inhibitions. The | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| reason which has evolved out of the recent lectures. I will show you how it applies to | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| filled in with details. Do not forget, these lectures are something alive. They are adapted to your | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| restored within the entity. If you review earlier lectures on the manifold problems of the human soul | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| right and healthy attitude as described in these lectures, does not, cannot, and will not sacrifice the | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| opposes the other. In fact, if these two lectures are really understood, this will become quite apparent | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| here. Let us continue within the series of lectures to help you gain further insight into yourself | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| yourself and therefore into life. The two preceding lectures dealt with the great duality, the struggle between | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| about which I spoke in the two preceding lectures, you cannot fully understand the creation and the | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| what I have said in all these recent lectures ties in with communication. Every lecture is intimately | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| at this time, to interrupt the sequence of lectures. You have received a great deal of material | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| purify yourself. As discussed in a few recent lectures, the so-called psychological approach is not in contradiction | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| ANSWER: I fully discussed in a few recent lectures why it is healthy and good for you | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| been asked occasionally why the approach of these lectures has become more and more psychological, rather than | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| your various pseudo-solutions. If you now reread the lectures dealing with that topic and with the idealized | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| that at length in many of the previous lectures and in your private work. It is now | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| masochism? ANSWER: This has been discussed in previous lectures and looked at in our work. If the | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |
| in our work. If the entirety of the lectures is understood, and the method of our work | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |
| Again, you know its deeper meaning from past lectures. If you covet something you do not possess | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| material I have given you in all these lectures. Much of it has not been absorbed yet | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| your own experience as well as from previous lectures that these three phenomena are interdependent. Each is | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| of other reasons that you know from past lectures and from your work. Therefore a productive wish | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| these stages. You may even observe that the lectures I have given you in all these years | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| you cannot help but register further results. These lectures are directed to those levels of your being | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| an extension and amplification of the last two lectures, so that you gain a deeper understanding of | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| you find your corresponding inner conflicts, then these lectures really make sense. Sometimes this happens only years | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| new understanding in conjunction with proper meditation. These lectures can be regarded as meditations. People sometimes believe | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| If you now consider a number of previous lectures, particularly those dealing with the influence of parents | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| to discuss this subject in more detail. These lectures are predominantly destined for those of you who | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| can sooner or later make use of these lectures in an entirely different way than those friends | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| those friends who merely listen and read the lectures. This difference is distinct and real, but can | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| in its vital form is not practiced, these lectures may appear either as merely interesting or self-evident | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| of your psyche accessible to your awareness. The lectures are directly aimed at these layers as they | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| participated more actively in the discussions following the lectures. That you do not do so is to | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| private work, it is possible to study the lectures and determine when you are confused and in | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| the questions that come up spontaneously after these lectures. A question or a parallel out of your | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| that helped to establish a link between certain lectures, even if some of these lectures were delivered | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| between certain lectures, even if some of these lectures were delivered long ago. Such overviews always indicate | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| This time, I should like to combine the lectures on inner will and outer will, on the | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| on the work of this path, on the lectures and on your development, you will see that | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| and generalizations. Everything we have discussed in the lectures on images shows how people respond blindly and | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| spiritual teachings, as well as in my own lectures. Now, my friends, why are these two approaches | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| yourself, it does not encourage its manifestation. The lectures -- all the material and help given to | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| -- are manifold. In the course of these lectures we have discussed many of the possible motives | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| up negativity and destructiveness. In the last few lectures we discussed how many of you are now | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| come alive. In this work, and in these lectures, we have often discussed the issue of feelings | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| is balanced, everything falls into place. All these lectures deal with this topic, in one way or | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| exposing the real self. Some of my earlier lectures merely described certain features of one kind of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| through the help, strength, and enlightenment that these lectures can give you. This last lecture of the | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| his life. In one of my very first lectures, I spoke of this when I said, You | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| latter is usually the first step. In recent lectures I have concentrated, in one form or another | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| some good feeling is when I read these lectures. I am able to work with them. I | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| you are and what life is. All my lectures, all our work together, attack the problem of | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| individual path to imitate the sequence of the lectures. Rather, the process is -- as some of | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| deeper regions of your unconscious. You study the lectures and then you use your own intuitive faculties | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| frees intuition and creative experience from within. The lectures first give an impetus to this process and | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| of consciousness. This has been underlying all my lectures. As we proceed further and further, and as | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| you retrospectively observe the sequence of both the lectures and the individual pathwork of those who work | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| more will come later in a series of lectures. QUESTION: Is the physical work going to be | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| SPIRITUAL LAWS In the course of giving these lectures, the Guide has often referred to spiritual laws | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| by the Guide in one of the earliest lectures. It has the same meaning as Jesus' statement | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| Tonight's lecture is a sequel to all the lectures I gave this year and can be fully | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| the time it takes. The sequence of the lectures I have given this year began with the | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| is no different. In the course of these lectures, I have occasionally mentioned the creative substance. But | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| of what I stated in this and previous lectures: that you have the power to create the | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| the creation I have spoken about in previous lectures. If you do not desire a better state | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| a concise way, of many of the past lectures for the purpose of introducing the theme of | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| At the very beginning when I started giving lectures, I used the terms higher self, lower self | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a certain level of consciousness can find these lectures useful, no matter when they started. Thus, this | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| world. This lecture continues the sequence of previous lectures, particularly of the last two. As you know | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| particularly of the last two. As you know, lectures come in sequences, which then apparently stop and | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| geared to the sequence of the last two lectures. Some philosophies claim that there is no evil | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| have discussed in the past, particularly in the lectures on images. We shall now explore the material | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| You can also go back to the various lectures I have given about these specific exercises and | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| meaning of sexuality. In one of the early lectures, I discussed three aspects of the one great | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| outlined these steps in various ways in the lectures I have given throughout the years. Let us | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| spoke about this at greater length in past lectures. Here I only want to say that the | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| recall that in one of the more recent lectures I described how creation attempts to fill the | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| in all the wrong directions. This series of lectures is coming to a close -- which does | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| in the universe. I do not, however, give lectures for the purpose of handing out information about | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| how lofty the spiritual truths may be. These lectures must always be directly connected with something that | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| will learn in the course of our future lectures. Now I would like to speak about two | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| March 1974, subscribers received instead excerpts from two lectures given in December 1973 at the Center -- | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| Let us continue with this specific series of lectures. And keep in mind, my friends, that they | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| I called impressing. In one of the basic lectures about meditation I spoke about both aspects: impressing | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| willing to follow that movement. In my coming lectures I will increasingly concentrate on helping you comprehend | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| new values of the new consciousness in the lectures to come. We shall share these new and | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| for this time. We shall continue all future lectures from this wider vision: How you, as an | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| just words, important as the contents of these lectures are for you, to understand and to work | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
