| way to cure the malady is first to prepare for the proper reception of the life force | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| this subject with each one of you individually. Prepare yourselves by thinking about it, by feeling how | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| most of the time. With this realization you prepare the ground to allow your real self to | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| something to think about, so that you can prepare yourself during the summer. The first step, as | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| if during the summer months you tried to prepare yourselves a little for the coming phases in | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| and unvolitional thought processes, you can very well prepare for our work in the fall. Now, are | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| As your fight for proving yourself diminishes, you prepare the way for real, mature love. Your maturing | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |

| it, draw it out further into consciousness and prepare yourself for finding the answer to the barrier | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| process. Compare yourself with a gardener who must prepare the soil, but who does not make the | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| master of your life and that how you prepare the soil depends on you. This goes with | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |

| must continue with renewed vigor. This time, however, prepare yourselves -- first in your mind and little | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| these self-discoveries will come to it. You can prepare for it. For you cannot allow happiness into | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| this state. As you observe yourself, you can prepare for the negative phase, so that you will | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| to deny life, that by feeling pain you prepare yourself to sustain pleasure, and that you wish | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |

| ascetic way of life which is supposed to prepare the personality for the experience. This, too, is | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| for guilt. On this path we want to prepare as many human beings as possible for the | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| that not doing so would harm others, you prepare for the next stage of development, where you | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| of atheism or agnosticism had to come to prepare the individual for full autonomy and selfhood. This | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| with questions. You have a whole month to prepare, and I promise you that I will give | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| to its full flowering in you as you prepare the ground. The topic of this lecture -- | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| talking of the so-called secret one keeps to prepare a lovely surprise for a loved one. This | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| wherever possible, on your individual paths. It will prepare you for the great fusion that must ultimately | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| be caught now. Even that vague gleaning will prepare you better for your further glorious path, my | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |

| and so on and on, then the consciousness prepares itself for experiencing the now point. People may | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| be a harmonious in-gathering in which something new prepares to come out of you, in which the | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |

| God. Being honest in this way you are preparing yourself to cross the great threshold of spiritual | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |

| a time of looking within the self and preparing for a new influx, a new strength with | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| force, requesting its help. The pathwork is specifically preparing you for that. Even when you believe in | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| but who does not make the plant grow. Preparing your own consciousness is like the gardener preparing | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| Preparing your own consciousness is like the gardener preparing the soil. Eliminating wrong concepts is analogous to | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| history culminates in the fractional now is already preparing chain reactions that will ensue in the next | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |
| within the soul. The spirit world has been preparing for this new expansion for many centuries with | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| that humanity has not yet known. You are preparing for it, others are preparing for it, here | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| known. You are preparing for it, others are preparing for it, here and there, all over the | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| Work needs to be done. This work of preparing the inner consciousness of more and more individuals | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| simultaneously digesting and assimilating the former period and preparing the following one. The in-gathering movement in its | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| instrument, a new power, a new force is preparing itself. You could perhaps taste it and sense | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| Preposterous................30 | |
| if at the first moment the discovery seems preposterous and incredible, relief must always follow, for then | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| to do that are more important. Realize the preposterous illusion of that emotion. By observing this attitude | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| of their unexplored subconscious, this may sound quite preposterous and contrived. However, those of you who have | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| than life would actually grant you, creating the preposterous situation that the means employed to always get | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| certain emotional behavior patterns, you will realize how preposterous they are; how incompatible with your conscious belief | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| you see this clearly, you will comprehend how preposterous this attitude is. Your conscious or unconscious rationalizations | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| to humor yourself because you will see the preposterous demands of the child in you. This is | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| are so limited that they may often seem preposterous, but this is the best way of giving | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| the easy rationalizations, for they are most dangerous. Preposterous rationalizations -- which exist even in the sanest | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| You must become acutely aware of its often preposterous self-concern to the exclusion of all else. In | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| overcome the lower self and no such childish, preposterous selfishness and self-concern should have a place in | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| be an unconscious contrary striving would have seemed preposterous to you. Such No's are directly connected with | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| than of confinement and pain. This may appear preposterous, yet when you test your feelings you will | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| is: burden, suffering, imprisonment. You then comprehend the preposterous fact that you are actually opposed to leaving | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| life. Whatever the case may be, the following preposterous, paradoxical situation arises in the human soul. You | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| varies. There are rare individuals for whom this preposterous and tragic situation is much less true than | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| help but find this truth, no matter how preposterous and illogical it may seem at first hearing | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| become enraged. Most people find themselves in the preposterous predicament of holding themselves tight and restricted, guarded | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| that follow suit. You find yourself in the preposterous position of craving the love and acceptance of | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| within your consciousness, and to convince yourself how preposterous this fear is. That experience can be made | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| pleasure become more similar may sound impossible and preposterous. I admit that it is difficult to explain | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| of realizing that some of your beliefs are preposterous. Again, you might have admitted this in general | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |

| to live well and fruitfully. This may sound preposterous to the conscious mind that wishes for nothing | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| the conscious mind, such negative intentions may appear preposterous, but rest assured that negative intentionality indeed exists | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| potential. So you put yourself in the most preposterous position of negating the riches of the universe | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| the movement toward union. The ego assumes a preposterous and paradoxical position. It is intrinsically unhappy, precisely | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
