| that this lecture touches the greatest questions in existence and therefore it is most difficult to present | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| spirit of Christ, many other creatures came into existence; so many that you could not count them | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| for all creatures, ever since they came into existence, to choose freely either to live within divine | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| pull of temptation proceeded. Thus evil came into existence. Once I explained that the spiritual worlds, are | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| inner division or disunity at that point. The existence on earth of man and woman as separate | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| take place. The disharmonious worlds which came into existence through the division from God and through the | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| of them. For no fault could come into existence by itself; it is only a distortion of | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |

| time I talked about how evil came into existence. This question has bothered many people who cannot | 21 THE FALL |
| how a God of love could permit the existence of evil. For those friends who are here | 21 THE FALL |
| briefly recapitulate, I explained how long before the existence of the material world, some of the created | 21 THE FALL |
| disharmonious kind of fiery world would come into existence. So, you see, all legends are not as | 21 THE FALL |
| to inhabit the new world that came into existence. This spirit had complete power over all those | 21 THE FALL |
| time. The spheres of darkness first came into existence where the spirits lived under the dominion of | 21 THE FALL |
| world as you know it to come into existence. You may say that God created the material | 21 THE FALL |
| that time. Very gradually, human beings came into existence in material form through various intermediate states. When | 21 THE FALL |
| are nothing. And the highest created being in existence, Christ himself, has said so, time and again | 21 THE FALL |
| creation of the earth, how it came into existence, and how humankind gradually evolved. I told you | 22 SALVATION |
| this earth sphere but in every sphere of existence. Long before the earth sphere existed and after | 22 SALVATION |
| doing, additional worlds of beauty would come into existence -- spiritual worlds -- for as you know | 22 SALVATION |
| still in the realm of Lucifer, came into existence. Without this longing, unconscious and blind as it | 22 SALVATION |
| this longing, the earth sphere gradually came into existence. More souls came to live on earth because | 22 SALVATION |
| faults, weaknesses and blindness, corresponding spheres come into existence. Wherever you are pure and purified, you create | 22 SALVATION |
| fallen spirits, gradually this earth sphere came into existence. I always thought God created the world -- | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I purposely said that this earth came into existence not only due to the longing of the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as many other spiritual worlds. The coming into existence of this earth was the expression of the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| only physically, but on all levels of your existence. So, my dear friends, try to observe yourselves | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| seems to have no bearing on your present existence. However, the opposite is true. When I continue | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |

| primitive reaction is to doubt or deny the existence of God because of one's personal disappointments. The | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| sense of participation with every other creature in existence. The self-will, pride, and fear inherent in every | 36 PRAYER |

| new, although you are aware of its outward existence. But it is necessary to approach this fault | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| in spite of your familiarity with its outer existence. Unless you approach it this way, you cannot | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| than the clear and courageous recognition of its existence. Know that the aim is a higher one | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |

| is one of the most potent forces in existence and has tremendous momentum and impact. It is | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| is the creative force on any level of existence. In the highest spheres, the same sex force | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| extremes. When such dogmas or rules come into existence in the various religions, whether at one extreme | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| one of those oft-mentioned vicious circles came into existence. Because of the belief that sex was sinful | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| Then we will examine the reason for their existence. Your unconscious desires often deviate from your conscious | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| aims, which serve very well to hide their existence. It is very important to find this fact | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| you, the fact that you simply recognize their existence purifies you to a considerable degree and therefore | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| much greater power than when you recognize their existence. In addition, you deceive yourself, because you believe | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| for a while, you must just observe their existence. You will learn further from your ability to | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| why you felt it necessary to hide the existence of the bad motives from your consciousness. I | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| they gradually lose such blindness. Yet, despite the existence of such currents, development cannot be checked, for | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| what the reason is for this often painful existence on earth. You all know that life is | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the point where you understand your own, individual existence; where you understand the origin of the difficulties | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| and purpose of your life, your own individual existence. When this is discovered, an entity has reached | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| of awareness. The true understanding of one's present existence marks, indeed, a major stepping stone of a | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| you will not mind half as much the existence of the distorted and weak brother of the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| no alternative. You make yourself unaware of the existence of wrong desires because you think that otherwise | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| in to them, and yet without suppressing their existence. The beginning is always the most difficult, and | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| they are your authority. The conflict came into existence because you loved them. You may wonder how | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| attributes. It is, it has not come into existence, it does not do, it does not work | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| human beings smile at the idea of the existence of the forces of evil, even more than | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| outside of yourself, you will easily recognize its existence in others. If you fight it there, you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| of your sexual drive rather than in its existence as such. Its existence is no reason for | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| rather than in its existence as such. Its existence is no reason for feeling guilty. You act | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| be absolute as yet in your sphere of existence. The more selfish you are, the more immature | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| at all. Thus a further conflict comes into existence. On the one hand, the personality is yearning | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| of their compulsive conscience, which has come into existence by the chain reactions I mentioned earlier. The | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| of the vicious circle in your emotions, the existence of the chain reaction will just be another | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |

| the searcher once self-examination has begun, although its existence is often hidden in the emotions and not | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| exists also another wrong kind of self-love, whose existence is much more widespread than is usually realized | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| and since in many civilizations mass-images came into existence as a result of the immaturity that said | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| This creates a vicious circle. The more the existence of sexuality is suppressed by the concept of | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| forces, all emotions, all principles, and everything in existence. Once humanity will have understood this -- and | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| do not mean for you to deny the existence of the difficulties, but to accept them knowing | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| contradict the statement that the highest form of existence, the state of being, is static and therefore | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| out further why? What brought this misconception into existence, what led to it? That will show where | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| What is important is that you experience the existence of this image within you. When you experience | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| This occurrence is hardly ever understood, and the existence and influence of the mass image is rarely | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| to change it after you have recognized its existence, but by seeing its reality at the point | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| in a positive direction. When you experience the existence of this mass image in you -- not | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| this conflict cannot handle life any more. The existence of these two images together causes a vicious | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| distorted concept of happiness, another desire comes into existence in the human soul which is often overlooked | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| happiness. The desire for happiness is already in existence when the human entity is born. It exists | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| surroundings. So a particular vicious circle comes into existence, which goes like this: If they allowed me | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |

| the split is twofold. It manifests in the existence of the two sexes: man and woman. The | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| mass images about the man-woman relationship came into existence as well. Superficially, there seems to be a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to a new life which would mean eternal existence and blessedness? ANSWER: First of all, let me | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| no matter how small it may be. The existence of this mass image is bound to cause | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| If you distinguish between these two forms of existence, you will see that there is no contradiction | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| only way is by finding at first the existence of their negative functioning within yourself. For instance | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| of such negative emotions, as well as the existence of additional motivations, which may be childish, unrealistic | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| for this, my friends. After you find the existence of the need, and its intensity, try to | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |

| another one of these vicious circles comes into existence. The more one is estranged from the real | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
