| physical sickness but to every other hardship in life -- and hardship is always disease, spiritually speaking | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| however, certain difficulties you cannot overcome in this life; you just have to bear them. That does | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |

| through this work, you often can change your life and eliminate your conflicts. Besides, it is not | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |

| hiding have no reality, and yet spoil the life you could enjoy and could use for building | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| you repeat and repeat and repeat throughout your life, and, as I said, often through many lifetimes | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| while. This self-search is the only thing in life that matters and that will bring relief. I | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| you have learned from your surroundings and from life. Yet, while your image is alive, you have | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| experience a shock because parents, the world, or life, are not the way the child thought them | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| shock must be applied to everyone else, to life in general. This is the wrong conclusion that | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| shortcomings as the parents; not all conditions of life are similar to those the child discovered in | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| as simple as that. Only much later in life does one learn to evaluate more objectively and | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| will be constantly supported and strengthened in later life. Your image-conclusions conflict with the grown-up desires and | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| with the grown-up desires and aims of your life, and thereby cause not only a painful discrepancy | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| goals, as well as with the reality of life. This must be understandable to all, even if | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| generates the following sequence of events: You want life to move according to your desires. When things | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| is affected. Mature beings know they can control life only by going with it, by not demanding | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| by going with it, by not demanding that life follow their wishes, but following life by adjusting | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| demanding that life follow their wishes, but following life by adjusting to it. Where you have your | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| You want a certain thing, a way of life -- whatever it may be -- for its | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| disadvantage you unconsciously asked for, and think that life has treated you unjustly. It is extremely important | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| begin to evaluate everything that happened in your life; things that are apparently not at all your | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| moment you understand how you have directed your life, how you have caused events of which you | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| unconscious desires, trends, and attitudes have governed your life. But now that so much has become conscious | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| be able to control, govern, and direct your life in consciousness, and thus be the captain of | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| your ship. In this way you will approach life with joy and strength, my dear ones. You | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| your feet for the first time in your life. My dear friends, perhaps you have a few | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| a question of the karma of a previous life. But the principle is exactly the same, inasmuch | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| But you have sown it in a previous life and you reap it now. That may be | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| same faults and trends that in a former life caused you to commit a graver action, one | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| explained that when the entity is prepared for life, certain problems are left closer to the surface | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| also within one lifespan. If in this present life you find your images and wrong conclusions, you | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| as an imagined defense against the hurts of life, against the fact that his wishes are not | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| grown-up spirit and it voluntarily undertook a short life. Perhaps the spirit preferred to choose a violent | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| what it may have been in a former life, will be to no avail, it will not | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| can go back to its origin in this life, if you work in the right way. And | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| is it! All of a sudden your whole life will make sense. You will understand your life | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| life will make sense. You will understand your life and your failures. You will understand yourself and | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| full knowledge of his freely chosen fate. His life and death occurred according to his will and | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| consequence of cause and effect. He chose this life and this death because he realized it was | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |

| his or her reactions and behavior patterns throughout life or until they have been reviewed and reevaluated | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| logic, and persistently take the frictions in your life as though they had nothing to do with | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| purify yourselves. There is no other reason for life on earth than to follow the road you | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| will realize that you have not lived your life in vain. It is never too late to | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| personality. The first type governs his or her life and reactions mainly with reason. The second type | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| cripple one of the most important instruments in life, namely, the intuition. Those who are afraid of | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| self. The will, which is a necessity in life for all, is used onesidedly by both types | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| you to see that the reason-type goes through life missing a great deal of experience, mostly out | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| she will be unable to cope with. Emotional life necessarily carries uncertainty and risk, whereas the rational | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| Uncontrolled emotions bring havoc into the extreme emotion-person's life, as well as into his or her surroundings | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| constructive intuition, such a person loses balance in life, just as the reason-type does in the opposite | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| their own extreme is a better solution to life than the opposite type's. The reason-type, afraid of | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| or her nature will eliminate something valuable in life. Both are wrong -- for only the harmonious | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| but also of many aspects and considerations of life that are essential in order to gain truth | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| reason-type, also misses an integral part of the life experience, of giving one's self up to a | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| and then appears only in certain aspects of life. Will needs active pressure, either positive or negative | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| is to help you understand the reason for life and the necessity of development, and to give | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| stage of development, but the only reason for life on earth is purification and self-finding. There are | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| are afraid of their emotions and afraid of life as such will often do anything in their | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and although they may know other fears of life, they are not afraid of this particular experience | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| have to make up for trying to cheat life by hiding from eros and thus withholding from | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| their souls that they avoid this part of life experience entirely and so shortchange their own development | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| This fear might exist because in a former life they had an unhappy experience with eros, or | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| highest spheres, the same sex force creates spiritual life, spiritual ideas, and spiritual concepts and principles. On | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| planes, the pure and unspiritualized sex force creates life as it manifests in that particular sphere; it | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is, and you settle down to a placid life without further searching. Eros has carried you this | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| spiritual is by its very nature. Spirit means life and life means change. Since soul is spirit | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| by its very nature. Spirit means life and life means change. Since soul is spirit, the soul | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| of friendship, companionship, mutual respect, and a pleasant life together with a well-established routine outweigh the unrest | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| adventure of revealing yourself. An integral part of life remains to be fulfilled by you -- if | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| fulfilled by you -- if not in this life, then in future lives. Should you find yourself | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| emotions to change sufficiently so that your outer life may change too. This depends on you. Whoever | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| friends, you not only maintain eros, that vibrating life force, but you also transform it into true | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| but in whom you seem to miss the life spark that once brought you together. You will | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| adventure of revealing yourself. An integral part of life remains to be fulfilled by you -- if | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| fulfilled by you -- if not in this life, then in future lives. Only when you meet | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| in future lives. Only when you meet love, life, and the other being in such readiness will | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| great deal and will enable you in this life or in future lives to get nearer to | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| come to you at certain stages of your life. Whether you can then use eros as a | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| or woman can swear off this part of life? ANSWER: It is possible, but it is certainly | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| reason is fear of love, fear of the life experience, but the fearful renunciation is rationalized as | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| you can well see in your world. This life experience will bring the soul closer to God | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| there is no other reason and purpose in life than development and purification. Therefore, the person who | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| the many people you know in your present life circumstances, as well as in the past. Think | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| mean the important aims and goals in your life or the big issues. No, I mean that | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| instance, you have harbored certain opinions all your life. Even though you may not be emotionally involved | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| finding your desires. Although consciously and outwardly your life may appear well directed, within you are in | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| is, the more effect it has in your life. Consequently you get exactly that which you consciously | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| that are responsible for the mishaps in your life. Those of you who are seriously working in | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| is a mass image about the duration of life. For a long time, this mass image held | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| and living conditions are responsible for the longer life span now. I certainly do not deny this | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| or illusion, no technical improvement would have extended life. Another mass image is that when one reaches | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| images or illusions exist that affect your personal life, and doubly so where a similar or related | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| their protégé through life according to their personal life plans, preventing only what is contrary to the | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| there will always be cases when the individual life span is much shorter than the present average | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| span is much shorter than the present average life span. One day, the average age will be | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| and brings a person into certain situations in life, certain people are drawn into his life. This | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| in life, certain people are drawn into his life. This is based on the law of affinity | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| knowledge know in a general way what this life is all about, what the reason is for | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| painful existence on earth. You all know that life is to be considered a school. You go | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| developing, purifying. This is the explanation for all life on earth. But to know this is not | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the sorrows, the longings, the unfulfillments of your life. And this you can find out if you | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| find the particular reason and purpose of your life, your own individual existence. When this is discovered | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| at times, it represents the first hurdle of life. The child's attitude toward authority is carried over | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| attitude toward authority is carried over into adult life. The often unconscious reactions to authority indicate whether | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| in the subconscious. These produce in the person's life just as tangible outer results as the openly | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| you predominantly belong, in what aspect of your life one or the other tendency may express itself | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| express itself more strongly. If you examine your life and your inner reactions in this respect, it | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the effect your attitude has had on your life, your conflicts, as well as on your surroundings | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| human authority you have often encountered in your life -- since humankind is imperfect. See that unconsciously | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| find that perhaps a few times in your life you have met someone who is very good | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| sad and discouraged, there is no reason. For life is eternal, and you are building your eternal | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| is that which governs you and brings your life and that which happens to you into certain | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| you decided it. It may be something that life seems to force upon you. But once you | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| live life entirely as you would choose, that life brings situations and predicaments which one has to | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the healthy attitude is to say yes to life as it is. Then you voluntarily accept a | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| personality changes. It is the product of one's life and will afterward become the entity's spiritual home | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| and again: Observe your reactions in your everyday life from this viewpoint: What do I feel? How | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| not commit crimes, who live an average, decent life. For them this is the most that can | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| out to do when you came into this life, you draw circumstance toward you that will finally | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| set certain forms in motion that oppose their life plan. When the life plan is violated, the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| motion that oppose their life plan. When the life plan is violated, the life plan itself begins | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| are not alone. Be in God! 48. THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE Greetings in the Name | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
