| FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE Greetings, my very beloved friends. Blessings for every | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| of the unfolding Christ consciousness in this New Age, which is one of the stages of expansion | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| links between the self and others. In the age just past, which we can call the early | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| was also a necessary preparation for the next age, the one you have now entered. You have | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |

| The laws and mores of civilization in the age just past hinged on this basic duality, thus | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |

| Some people are already prepared for this New Age of consciousness, and in this sense this consciousness | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| in this task, in exchanges with other New Age centers that are willing to accept the process | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| is one of the byproducts of the New Age. I will now try to explain the importance | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| questions is truly an expression of the New Age consciousness that will spread much more over the | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| your inner God. The idea of the New Age points in this direction. The outer law is | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| expressed in a new way in the New Age. The Christ consciousness brings a new morality that | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |

| to yield easily, yet it must. The new age will create human beings of the highest caliber | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| As a fundamental prerequisite, education in the coming age has to make room for the understanding of | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| that all children need to learn in the age just going by as well as in the | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| going by as well as in the new age. At present there is only room for the | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| early. Such is the groundwork for all new age education. Parents will not undertake the fundamental groundwork | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| or recognize what is an aid. Therefore, new age education is not only a question of emotional | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| us examine other aspects of education in the age to come. You must cultivate the curiosity of | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| Children have millions of questions from their earliest age. You all know that. Usually parents and teachers | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| can take in more. Schools in the coming age will know that the spirit ventures out into | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| used only when needed. Even in the new age there will be individuals who are not yet | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| follow the curve of growth. In the New Age, everything leads to a discovery of and a | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |

| begun to manifest is, among other things, an age of connecting and linking in many ways, in | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| means. Quite the contrary is true. In the age of duality, from which you are practically moving | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |

| therefore quite correct to predict that in the age of unification, in which self-purification on inner levels | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| self-purification on inner levels must occur, the average age of human beings will be much longer. Through | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |

| and become part of politics in the New Age? What is your idea? Some of you have | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| little more specific. In the first place New Age politics must, above all, always be carried by | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| concern and focus, world politics in the New Age will contain every one of these systems -- | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| is so with world politics in the New Age. Humankind has been going through all these various | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| this principle to this very topic. The New Age politicians must beware of embracing one form of | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| another form of government. The nature of New Age politics will be precisely that it will not | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| even concerning outer forms of government. The New Age politician's task is indeed to represent all forms | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| become, directly or indirectly, influential in creating New Age politics. This will perhaps disseminate the truths I | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| That is the revolutionary way into the New Age, which will reveal much greater truths than you | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
