| may be given at times by making your pathwork a little easier. Or, something another person says | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| other rather than hindered. The aim of the pathwork is not only to make the sick part | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| to understand if you do not live this pathwork and have not come across areas of your | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |

| life into the state of health that the pathwork of this lecture suggests. What this means is | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| you talked about the different phases in our pathwork. There was a time when there was very | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| to suspect, even if only vaguely, that our pathwork is opposed to faith in God and hope | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| in confusion and become paralyzed; so that your pathwork remains dynamic and alive in a beautiful forward | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| experience of their reality possible. For that, this pathwork gives you ample opportunity. When you reread this | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| different vantage points at specific phases of your pathwork. What you have heretofore understood in a shallow | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| yourself and your life. If you view the pathwork from this angle, your deeper understanding may give | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| it. All of you who persevere in the pathwork know that you indeed do what is most | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| you proceed further. The other part of the pathwork is finding the true values, constructive inclinations, thoughts | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| your specific shame. Slowly but surely, as your pathwork progresses in the right direction, you learn to | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| from there in this particular phase of the pathwork. Once you have comprehended this facet of your | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| of it. This is the freedom that the pathwork is meant to bring you. Freedom can come | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| be loosened up in earlier stages of the pathwork so that it becomes possible to reexperience these | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| be likened to the individual who finds the pathwork and self-confrontation becoming easier as more of his | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| helpful for your most personal problems in your pathwork, in your life. In the discussion we are | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| may occur, particularly in the course of your pathwork, as an interim phase. Let us again take | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| when you are seriously engaged in doing the pathwork, you will fill in the gaps by deep | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| significance. Take for example one's attitude to this pathwork, professed and actual; one's attitude to the opposite | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| strong desire for this fulfillment and in your pathwork you have discovered unconscious misconceptions, false guilts, and | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| circumstances and partly through deliberate processes in the pathwork. To observe productively what the unconscious expresses, it | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| as frustration and pain, and partly from your pathwork -- the hardness becomes sufficiently fluid to let | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| because of some unknown fear manifest in your pathwork in various ways: lack of energy and desire | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| help, dramatizing and exaggerating actual difficulties until the pathwork is no longer possible, or can continue only | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| negative insistence on concentrating on issues that the pathwork does not organically bring to your attention through | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| I wish, it must also exist in my pathwork itself. How does it manifest there? (5) How | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| question or a parallel out of your own pathwork may occur to you as you listen or | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| manifest in any number of ways toward the pathwork itself. Some of my friends have already found | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| will be a month from now, provided your pathwork is dynamic and not a superficial endeavor. Some | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| your real self, is an outcome of this pathwork. Some of my friends are beginning to experience | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| always conscious. It is the fact that the pathwork, at a certain point, appears to aggravate negative | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| used to avoid the imagined threat. When the pathwork demolishes this pretense and the inefficient pseudo-solutions -- | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| cause your unhappiness, you grumble and blame the pathwork for not living up to its promises -- | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| but you will if you proceed with your pathwork. Once you do, it will become easier to | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| for the life force, requesting its help. The pathwork is specifically preparing you for that. Even when | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| people believe the opposite, acting as though the pathwork expected them to undertake a venture in which | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| preliminary work has to be undertaken before the pathwork brings you to this understanding. You may have | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| your daily chores, for the effort of this pathwork, for the effort of living as such? Do | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| of great importance in this phase of the pathwork to detect the subtle climate which causes you | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| of being in yourself. We have, in our pathwork, two fundamental approaches, both of which are necessary | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| impressing. Up to a certain point, a person's pathwork concentrates on bringing out what is inside. Only | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| pursue even such a liberating activity as the pathwork -- whose aim is to attain full selfhood | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| the source for the immediate purpose of this Pathwork, of self-realization, of creative living. Honest testing means | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| even destructive. You all have experienced in your pathwork that you first have to shed these desires | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| which is evidently a result of doing the pathwork. I am no longer so afraid and frightened | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| the most frequent and hindering misconceptions in the pathwork. This is why I have mentioned it again | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| is the art and the aim of this pathwork. If your aim is finished perfection, you still | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| have grown through years of effort in this pathwork have occasionally noticed that where you were once | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |

| opening up of the future direction of the pathwork. I hope this attempt will succeed so that | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| misconceptions, the images, as they unfold through your pathwork, and you look at these misconceptions deeply enough | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| in the direction of maintaining and sustaining a pathwork such as this, which increases the ability to | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| regardless of how long ago they started this pathwork -- I say, try it. Use the meditation | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| negative causes that you set in motion. The pathwork must primarily be concerned with uncovering the images | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| my friends who have been involved in the pathwork for a considerable time, still overlook what is | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| of how long one has been in the pathwork -- not by any means. Let us now | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| have begun to do so in your personal pathwork. Others have not yet begun this particular phase | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| proper way in your momentary phase of the pathwork. Some of you may be aware of the | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| process which sets something new in motion. Such pathwork process accomplishes just this. It is further important | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| while it is important to restate what the pathwork is and what it is supposed to accomplish | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| these possibilities become a reality is what the pathwork is all about. On the physical level the | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| briefly reformulated. If you can conceive of the pathwork in this slightly novel way, it will activate | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| some of you are quite accomplished in this pathwork, self-facing to a degree, you still manage to | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| vagueness and easy rationalization. This is why your pathwork is of such immeasurable importance; for without recognizing | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| you, my friends, in the continuation of your pathwork. When the distortion you discover cuts deeply into | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| the false in themselves therefore often believe this pathwork to be destructive or negative. It must appear | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| at the truth in myself. Anyone in the pathwork who pronounces these words daily, particularly at moments | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| to those who are effectively engaged in such pathwork. They, too, may have blind spots. Perhaps they | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| much all of you are involved in your pathwork, it is easy to lose the outlook which | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| you can ask at this phase of your pathwork, Where am I still involved in an obligatory | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| can fruitfully use in the continuation of your pathwork. Be blessed, every one of you. May your | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| of you who have been engaged in this pathwork for some time and have made significant progress | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| one must fear the other. Only when your pathwork has become concentrated and your awareness has sufficiently | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| may be rationalized. It is part of your pathwork to discover it within yourself, to discover how | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| the way you learn to do in the Pathwork where no one is harmed. Letting out fear | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| many of them and you, in your individual pathwork, have found many more than we can discuss | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| view of your mind activity and specifically your pathwork, may best be described as follows: the outer | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| is cultivated. When people are too impatient, their pathwork is stopped. Excessive tension is always an expression | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| you will begin in this phase of your pathwork to ask, What makes me most happy? If | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| sequence of both the lectures and the individual pathwork of those who work deeply by overcoming their | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| not undertake even the rudimentary steps of such pathwork. You would be incapable of disciplining your lives | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| friends who are actively engaged in this particular pathwork, and also to reach the many new friends | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| long to come truly into your birthright. The Pathwork is actively concerned with fulfilling this longing. After | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| inner life center -- the goal of all pathwork. You have thus seen what a world of | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| leads into more strife. If you expect the pathwork to eliminate unwelcome feelings before you have fully | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| and understood them, you create a bottleneck. The pathwork teaches you how to accept our unwelcome feelings | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| end, so that both become one. In this pathwork you tentatively grope in both directions. In the | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| larger part you wish to activate through the pathwork. It is therefore necessary to comprehend that the | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| individual is a substantial part of self-realization, your pathwork must be particularly concerned with this topic. True | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| self-perpetuating and involuntary. Its effects occur indirectly. The pathwork itself requires blending of these two aspects. I | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| wholeness of these two aspects of creation. The pathwork itself is such a purposeful creative act of | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| opens these centers. In addition to the general pathwork of self-awareness, of facing the truth, of establishing | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| This is the primary principle that guides the pathwork. At first glance, this principle is sometimes hard | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| the unitive principle in the course of this pathwork. Many years ago, in a private session, the | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| You must understand, my friends, that this very pathwork, the development of your courage to look at | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| cannot go wrong. Our predominant approach in the pathwork must be to confront the true state of | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| sphere of consciousness and existence into another. The pathwork must bring you to this. Much of what | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| of great importance, especially for all those whose pathwork has brought them awareness of previously undetected reactions | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| You have recently come across, in your personal pathwork, a very specific misconception that makes loving impossible | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| have concentrated heavily on accomplishing this in our pathwork. But this is not easy, precisely because, once | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| continue with the specific aspects with which the pathwork is particularly concerned. Many of you begin to | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| my friends who is already involved in this pathwork has gone through and confronted such hidden and | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| Every one of you who follows this intensive pathwork should use this key. Although every link in | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| the course of years of experience in this pathwork, we have found the concept of self- created | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| another level, he puts his best into the pathwork. The unreasonableness and utter destructiveness of this attitude | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| fact, which explains the great emphasis of this pathwork on first approaching the self. Only then can | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| As you who are seriously involved in this pathwork know, the road is not easy. It means | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| As you continue -- and this is the pathwork -- you will increasingly experience the truth of | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| cause and effect. If this part of the pathwork is glossed over and taken for granted without | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| therefore another important aspect of this phase of pathwork meditation to look deeply and widely for indirect | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| to solve this, or any other problem. The pathwork is, of course, primarily concerned with facing these | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| my friends, who are actively engaged in this pathwork today have made contact with your inner intention | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| of the process of transformation. In your individual pathwork you experienced this more and more frequently in | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| who pursue this very taxing but very real pathwork, will find the undefended, flowing state of security | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| own, as those of you who do the pathwork know. As long as you are blindly involved | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| is always the most arduous part of the pathwork. Nor can it be accomplished in one fell | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| this truth a number of times in your pathwork. The same is true with fear, anger, frustration | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| Most of you who are engaged in this pathwork of self-development start out in the usual way | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| of which are such indispensable prerequisites for the pathwork. The cramp of hardened selfwill intensifies many times | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| 193. RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS Greetings, my dearest friends | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| explored, understood, and mastered. This work is the pathwork. All these aspects of the personality can be | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| It is one of the tasks of this pathwork to find these misconceptions and correct them. Now | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| shed some light on the aim of this pathwork before I describe the process. The aim is | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| attained through various processes and approaches of the pathwork. It cannot be denied that to expand the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| Now we come to the method of this pathwork. I will summarize and discuss the fundamentals without | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| can also be unconscious. In that case, the pathwork must make them conscious. This can only be | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| fusion between energy and consciousness. They interact. Effective pathwork takes place on all these levels and with | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| release blocks. At times, a person starts the pathwork without any meditation whatever, for his outer consciousness | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| you? In the slow progression of such a pathwork, it will come to pass that at certain | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| energy! It is an intrinsic aspect of this pathwork that you eventually shed the illusion of being | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| used to fulfill the aim of this particular pathwork: the unification of the whole person with the | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| defense. At this point the validity of this pathwork is no longer a theory or a philosophy | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| they experience, they also unconsciously want. The entire pathwork is based on this true fact of life | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| being aware of your negative intentionality. When your pathwork progresses well and you gain deeper and more | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| hard work, courage, honesty, and humility of this pathwork have brought you, in proportion to your investment | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| expressions. Many of you who are doing this pathwork have found out quite a bit about your | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| relaxed manner to pursue this aspect of the pathwork. Doubt can only be eliminated when you make | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| apparently foreign territory your own domain, constitutes the Pathwork -- any valid pathwork. Ego means fragmentation. As | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| own domain, constitutes the Pathwork -- any valid pathwork. Ego means fragmentation. As I mentioned, it is | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| easily recognize themselves in this description, for the pathwork makes this incongruity very obvious. I believe it | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| you will no longer fear or suffer. The pathwork in which I guide you helps, by its | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| manifest. The four keys are aspects of the pathwork. But they must also be seen in the | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| You are fortunate that the progress of your pathwork has brought many of you in contact with | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| unhappy. For anyone who is involved in the pathwork, this state is less acute; but there are | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| therefore foolish to indulge your resistances in the pathwork and to act as if not overcoming them | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| it become increasingly richer -- and the continued pathwork will bring about such a change without fail | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| painful. It is an important aspect of this pathwork to first understand this principle, and then to | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| attitude -- and a good part of the pathwork consists of becoming aware of such things -- | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| to let them flow. The task of any pathwork is to bring the whole system into movement | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| us first state what it is not. This pathwork is not psychotherapy, although aspects of it must | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| also deals with. In the framework of the pathwork, the psychological approach is only a side issue | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| posits as its ultimate goal. In contrast, the pathwork enters its most important phase only after this | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the obstructions because the second phase of the pathwork is helpful and even essential for truly executing | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| consider the possibility of entering into this particular pathwork. First, the phenomenon of this transmission, whether you | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| connectedness with the universe. Second, by entering this pathwork, you do not enter therapy. You embark on | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| recognized. This is an essential aspect of the pathwork. Your fear of your negative feelings is unjustified | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| into your creative core. This is basically the pathwork. This path is therefore difficult only because people | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| realize and to express. This, then, is the pathwork, my friends. Very, very few people on this | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| to escape from. As far as your inner pathwork is concerned, you create more order and more | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| inner state. And those who newly joined the pathwork are enveloped by the rest of you who | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| use this key, in the spirit of the pathwork, to allow yourself to see and admit the | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| after all, part of the method of the pathwork. Many of you have verified that hidden, feared | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |

| out of you in the process of this pathwork, you may notice that you wish to hate | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| images. We use the term images in the pathwork to define misconceptions and generalizations which form very | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| love. This awareness is extremely important, and the pathwork deals with it in a very intensive way | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| Some of you who are involved in the pathwork, after much overcoming of resistances and blocks in | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| self. It is therefore extremely important in your pathwork that you explore yourself and stop hiding the | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| again and again, as a tool of the pathwork to use what I call a daily review | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| answer, to bring these various moods into your pathwork and follow through these patterns. If you observe | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| pain of disillusionment. The specific manner of the pathwork offers wonderful protection. The closeness you have developed | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |

| can be altered. An important aspect of the pathwork is that you discover and become aware of | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| found several phases in the course of this pathwork. A simple overview would go as follows: First | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| yourself on your path. The acceleration of your pathwork is a tremendously joyful reality. It will create | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| governs you, often without even knowing it. Your pathwork brings you in contact with both. Often you | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| the train, even while I still follow the pathwork in other areas. You see, my friends, in | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| self-justification, destructive guilt and blaming of others. Your pathwork helps you to shed these burdens. Then you | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| very important to avoid this confusion and the pathwork can help you to avoid such confusion by | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| abundance you experience as a result of your pathwork gives your life a much more specific focus | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| long as you stay dynamically involved in your pathwork, in your search, and in your process of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| masking cloak, the false good ness. In your pathwork many of you have already dealt extensively with | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| more clearly the overall dynamic of your own pathwork. A figure you have used in many other | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| evidence is in the growing numbers of new Pathwork members; in the nature of these newer people | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| for the God consciousness. You do this in pathwork. You need to truly know yourself, your weaknesses | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| specifically to your human condition and to your pathwork. There is no greater truth, no universal fact | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| have experienced some of this phenomenon in your pathwork. You have seen, again and again, that an | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| this here. You know perfectly well from your pathwork that what you secretly wanted from a superior | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| appearance. Only gradually, in the course of this pathwork, will the former take over more and more | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| do with you. In the creation of the pathwork, of your Center, you experience and witness that | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| your fearful visions. Thus the process of the pathwork is essential to establish the one-pointed word. Only | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| yet they must first take in what the pathwork and the Center have to offer in order | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| You traverse walls of unknown terror in your pathwork as a result of your commitment to your | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| is never broken, and this is why continuing pathwork with a helper and with your friends in | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| I have felt ever since I joined the Pathwork, and more intensely the last few months, how | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| and more powerfully benign force will bless the Pathwork. The room was truly bathed with more powerful | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| may have observed in the course of your pathwork that at the beginning of your path you | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| should be possible for most of you. Your pathwork trains you for this highly advanced state of | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| personality. Therefore many divergent aspects coexist. In your pathwork you find these divergent aspects, often to your | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| for you; give yourself to every aspect the pathwork offers you and you will come through. You | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| in you that, as a result of your pathwork, you are bound to encounter and that you | 240 ASPECTS OF THE ANATOMY OF LOVE: SELF-LOVE, STRUCTURE, FREEDOM |
| to my experiences. You will find in your pathwork, with your helper, where this new attitude needs | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| and outer life. You may have started the pathwork merely because you were unhappy and vaguely or | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| lower self became an essential aspect of the pathwork. When prayer and meditation were explained in detail | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| of the role of Jesus Christ in the pathwork is so strong that I have the feeling | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| when Jesus Christ is being reintroduced in the pathwork in a more dynamic way, can be expressed | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| administration, you learn the practical application of the pathwork. In your artistic pursuits, you approach your creative | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |

| deal with the outer manifestation, exactly replicate the pathwork you do on the inner, psychological and spiritual | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| maturity as a result of a genuine, intense pathwork, such as this. The new-age marriage is a | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| no secrets whatever. The soul process of the pathwork is totally shared. This openness and transparency has | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| esteem and love from others must follow. The Pathwork is clearly designed to gradually but surely eliminate | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| to share and perhaps receive help with. This Pathwork is obviously designed to remove the secrets and | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| your newly awakening self, so must the entity Pathwork do the same. Now we begin a new | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| could be accomplished in one lifetime, if the pathwork is truly followed to its maximum potential. Such | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| process of stringent self- work, such as the pathwork offers. Progress in this inner work brings about | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| You need to listen sensitively into your entire pathwork process and occasionally gain sufficient distance from yourself | 255 THE BIRTHING PROCESS -- COSMIC PULSE |
| for some of you individually, but for the Pathwork entity as a whole. For what occurs to | 255 THE BIRTHING PROCESS -- COSMIC PULSE |
| So your individuality is a cell of the Pathwork entity. The Pathwork entity is a cell of | 255 THE BIRTHING PROCESS -- COSMIC PULSE |
