| are the tests that life brings to you. Human beings who have already been through some spiritual | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| or any other community, where at least one human soul will not be still so low in | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| from all the formations that manifest when a human being does not follow divine law. Spiritual material | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| obstacle -- can gain true perspective of another human being or of any outer situation. Those who | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| fault, to set something right with a fellow human being with whom they were incarnated for that | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| And then further tasks will be found. You human beings want to be happy, all of you | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| the yearning for happiness and perfection in the human soul, there would be no spiritual development. But | 1 THE SEA OF LIFE |
| for God, is the driving force in every human being. Even those who have not yet found | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| we talk about the spiritual progress of the human being we mean something very individual for each | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| seem to suffer? Is this just? ANSWER: You human beings always think that there is nothing worse | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| assigned to him -- possibly to deter a human being from following his path to God, because | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| from following his path to God, because the human being used his free will to resist temptation | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| have already achieved. It is up to every human being to avail themselves of the weapons of | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| much to ask of you. The times when human beings feel alone come only when they are | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| and fulfill if only they are willing. You human beings are not able to judge the inner | 2 DECISIONS AND TESTS |
| another earth life for this purpose. Thus every human being and every spirit erects the world in | 3 CHOOSING YOUR DESTINY -- THE WILL TO CHANGE |
| knowledge, and of the corresponding decision. For every human being has a certain amount of strength, and | 3 CHOOSING YOUR DESTINY -- THE WILL TO CHANGE |
| one's true spiritual home that dwells in every human being. For here on earth you are only | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| which is vital in the life of a human being. As a consequence love does not come | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| in evidence. One can see quite often that human beings are indeed yearning for love and are | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| since you are fulfilling a vital function of human nature and are thus in harmony with God | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| would be different toward each individual, because you human beings take it as a matter of course | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| of course that one indeed loves some fellow human beings more than others -- and as long | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| fragrances are of a wide variety. And the human capacity to love would be large enough to | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| Fear -- more or less hidden in the human soul -- is a major obstacle to attaining | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| and therefore feel alone, isolated and abandoned. All human beings strive, in their soul's core, to give | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| healthy and harmonious life are subject, any reasonable human being knows that one cannot move simultaneously in | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| sense than you commonly assume. Only when a human being lives in perfect harmony with God's laws | 4 WORLD WEARINESS |
| can you absorb and assimilate this material. Whenever human beings set themselves a goal, whether consciously or | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| will be very glad to see my fellow human beings also happy. But it makes a great | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| for God's Plan of Salvation and for fellow human beings, will blossom in freedom without being bound | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| Giving energy to further the upward development of human consciousness, this person will be free not only | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| tight inner bondage. Many people who revolt against human injustice cannot comprehend that God is just and | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| infallible justice reigns. Spiritual justice makes use of human injustice in order to bring about ultimate justice | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| punishment were always so evident. The imperfection which human beings have created for themselves must be the | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| used as a means to attain perfection, that human injustice is used to bring about divine justice | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| higher self, also strives upward. But in every human being another part of the personality wants what | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| a stronger commitment to development in the present. Human development has advanced so far that at least | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| me explain why there are differences in the human concepts and how they should be viewed -- | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| can only exist in spirit, becomes predicated on human perception with is errors, elevating it above all | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| there must be an absolute truth above relative human truth, and when you are careful not to | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| you are careful not to transpose the relative human truth onto the absolute spiritual truth. That would | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| moving, absolute, divine truth into one basket with human dogma, and thus they lose the solid ground | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| God is truth, and therefore the truth beyond human error is also absolute. Humans will receive as | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| stand on solid ground. Almost all of you human beings are still slaves to your faults and | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| soul and with their whole being. 6. THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES My | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| discussions about how difficult it is for you human beings to subject your own free will to | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| before, but I want to repeat it: Every human being, not only a medium, can and should | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| and God wants to make free and independent human beings out of you. Real liberation can only | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| disappear with each step that the being -- human or spirit -- takes on the upward path | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| who does not have to incarnate in a human body anymore, has merged so completely with the | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| the development continues in other spheres first. Now, human beings often make the mistake, by confusing the | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| good and noble in the character of a human being or any creature never dissolves, it exists | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| However, no such spirit has access to a human being unless there is a corresponding vibration in | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |
| an indirect way. He can take prisoner many human beings where Lucifer would fail. Thus they give | 6 THE HUMAN ROLE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL UNIVERSES |

| it becomes that he surround himself with kindred human spirits so they can mutually help and stimulate | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| not fulfilling a task with a weaker fellow human being, when one could do it. If the | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| or because they take pains to become decent human beings. Yet this was not my meaning. The | 8 MEDIUMSHIP -- HOW TO CONTACT GOD'S SPIRIT WORLD |

| this struggle cannot be compared with anything else human beings can ever experience. Since the goal of | 8 MEDIUMSHIP -- HOW TO CONTACT GOD'S SPIRIT WORLD |
| This is what you call mediumship. When a human being is blessed with this capacity -- and | 8 MEDIUMSHIP -- HOW TO CONTACT GOD'S SPIRIT WORLD |
