| expressions of which human beings with their limited spectrum of senses know nothing. There are infinitely more | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| usual human being's experience of feelings. Within the spectrum of human emotion there is none higher and | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| energy. If any feeling within the ordinary human spectrum is still apparently unmanageable, cosmic feeling is much | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| powerful agent for joy and creativity. The whole spectrum of feelings must be thoroughly experienced: as I | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |

| God as immediate experience -- not as theoretical speculation and a luxury of belief, but as living | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| God stands for. This leads to an interesting speculation, my dearest friends; namely, that the active principle | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| cannot come about as a result of philosophical speculation or theoretical knowledge, or even as a result | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |

| worlds of darkness. In other words, this earth sphere is a product of the longing of the | 21 THE FALL |
| darkness helped in the creation of this earth sphere. The influence of both worlds exists and will | 21 THE FALL |

| spirits to reunite with God. On the earth sphere you have the possibility with your free will | 22 SALVATION |
| from the beginning of time when the earth sphere was relatively new. Then it was impossible for | 22 SALVATION |
| them to leave their mark upon this earth sphere, but because of their nature they could communicate | 22 SALVATION |
| salvation was not only accomplished on this earth sphere but in every sphere of existence. Long before | 22 SALVATION |
| accomplished on this earth sphere but in every sphere of existence. Long before the earth sphere existed | 22 SALVATION |
| every sphere of existence. Long before the earth sphere existed and after the so-called Fall of the | 22 SALVATION |
| by before, due to this longing, the earth sphere gradually came into existence. More souls came to | 22 SALVATION |
| then proceeded. Merely by living on the earth sphere, they came, for the first time after the | 22 SALVATION |
| what you call hell is not only one sphere of dire darkness and misery. As there are | 22 SALVATION |
| support of God's spirit world on this earth sphere, and in addition having to resist all attacks | 22 SALVATION |
| had successfully completed His task on the earth sphere, a number of so-called miracles took place on | 22 SALVATION |
| Christ fulfilled the Plan of Salvation in every sphere. His task varied in each of the numerous | 22 SALVATION |
