| perfection that you should strive for, you may imagine it vaguely as something to be got from | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| thoughts, and your feelings? Try for instance to imagine this: If you were told to relinquish something | 9 PRAYER AND MEDITATION -- THE LORD'S PRAYER |

| mistake the mirror image for the real person. Imagine the relationship between the two realities somewhat like | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |

| everything can be observed. You only have to imagine a movie. Everything is etched in that breath | 12 THE ORDER AND DIVERSITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLDS-THE PROCESS OF REINCARNATION |
| How that applies is impossible for you to imagine and I have no words to describe it | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| friends, this is extremely difficult for you to imagine, because distance for you is a question of | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| higher self is allowed to function. Let us imagine that all humanity, meaning each individual, would follow | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| you. On the other hand, let us again imagine that all humankind -- each individual person -- | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| I know this is impossible for you to imagine. QUESTION: So two million light years don't have | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| human being, such as a criminal, I can't imagine. ANSWER: No, you cannot say one horse turns | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| This question has bothered many people who cannot imagine how a God of love could permit the | 21 THE FALL |
| God's world. It is impossible for you to imagine how minutely everything had to be worked out | 22 SALVATION |
| and hardship in every possible respect. Can you imagine what this meant? If Jesus had known the | 22 SALVATION |
| true story of salvation. Then bring yourself to imagine His sufferings as something real, not some imaginary | 22 SALVATION |
| You have to use your inner vision and imagine it as though a war with guns or | 22 SALVATION |
| will help others much more than you can imagine. And rather than taking time away from them | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| sometimes right and sometimes wrong. And do not imagine that such insight is always purposefully given from | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| but will tell you later, how do you imagine He could tell that, unless through such a | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you think this is physical and then you imagine just one other category -- the spiritual. But | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| perhaps so they can prove themselves. But to imagine that going on this path of purification will | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| from meeting the self. It is childish to imagine that whatever you do not cherish in you | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| friends, it is extremely difficult for humans to imagine that spirits live and laugh and enjoy themselves | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| may be wrong too, because they see or imagine the spirit world in a way which is | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| not as simple as all that, my friends. Imagine the love of God, this marvelous light that | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| lives in the soul of each individual. And imagine how the lower self stands in-between you and | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| God evaluates each individual differently. Furthermore, do not imagine that you do not harm anyone by simply | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| fair. For human beings this is hard to imagine, since you tend so very much to oversimplify | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| beings is not living in truth. You all imagine that I mean you should not lie. I | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| consulted first on what he or she would imagine to be the best life conditions for the | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| is on earth and from what you can imagine. The words I use are closest to what | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| deeper meaning and significance than you can possibly imagine. Symbolism does not work the way humanity thinks | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| into stronger cases of law-violations, then you can imagine quite easily that a heavier karma is built | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| to these teachings. Try to visualize and to imagine that such a world is here, around you | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| situation there is a different you. Try to imagine how it would be if you acted toward | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| struggling to get on it. But do not imagine that then all resistance is overcome for good | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| manifestation of it is caused by the current. Imagine it as something like electricity. Certain conditions are | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| fulfilled your job at all. Play a game, imagine your life depends on presenting a convincing case | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| is, foremost, the capacity to love. Many people imagine they have it. Of course, emotional maturity is | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| rhythmically and naturally follows the other. If you imagine it as a cycle, a circular motion, you | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| out of awareness so fast. Neither should you imagine that you can jump over the period of | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| clamoring, inaudible to your ears. But you can imagine how noisy it is for us. The voice | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| it appears to you as the very opposite. Imagine that you want to build a beautiful house | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| therefore on the world, such as you cannot imagine. You are a spreader of light and truth | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| side of the coin. Now you must not imagine that the male part in the female and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| for one reason or another you feel or imagine this person to be helpless or weak or | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| humankind as a whole, such as you cannot imagine. If the world leaders were on such a | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |
| down, up and down. Or, if you prefer, imagine a point between your eyes -- whichever is | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| same question with the new viewpoint, I cannot imagine this as a joyous experience. It will be | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| them. That is the reality, my friends. To imagine that merely because you have done, a minor | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| cosmic laws were made as you want to imagine them, namely that trouble would cease coming your | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| by or to impress a particular person, you imagine situations in which you see this wish gratified | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| experience of life such as you cannot possibly imagine. Living in the now, in the right way | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| will develop in you such as you cannot imagine possible: creative forces, new perceptions, a growing and | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| is rather a fading transition, so to speak. Imagine the entire personality, psyche or mind, both conscious | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| If you visualize such a form, you can imagine that as the consciousness is raised, the form | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| It is not quite so difficult as you imagine. You have to settle down to want to | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| by little, the being you actually are. You imagine with your limited thinking capacity that only as | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| itself in human language. It is a limitation. Imagine it in the sense of translating a text | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| to you; you are slightly awed and somehow imagine that the real self is something utterly strange | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| not hurt half as much as they now imagine. They could experience happiness and the joy they | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| the forces of darkness which human beings erroneously imagine to be raging outside themselves; they tend to | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| sound distant and abstract. When you try to imagine the divine bliss that spirits enjoy, your automatic | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| which you as human beings long for. You imagine the bliss of heaven as something dull, sterile | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| Now, there are degrees, of course. Do not imagine that your unconscious mind is either a perfect | 98 WISHFUL DAYDREAMS |
| crossing the threshold into emotional adulthood. Can you imagine being spared experiencing the pain against which you | 100 MEETING THE PAIN OF DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS |
| for what it is. Now, reverse the process. Imagine the effect it must have on your surroundings | 100 MEETING THE PAIN OF DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS |
| more than you can, at the moment, see. Imagine that you have a very strong wish that | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| not understand the laws in operation. If you imagine the complicated mechanism necessary, the variety of conditions | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| is more intricately involved than anything you can imagine. The same cosmic power-currents operate, only they are | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| to pass in exactly the way you hope, imagine, or fear it. But let us suppose, theoretically | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| us suppose, theoretically, that it were possible to imagine the future exactly as it will be -- | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| duplicate the past, any more than you can imagine a future and live it. Your own subjective | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| it will mean more than you can possibly imagine at this time. Once these questions are truthfully | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| is by comparison with sicker areas. You cannot imagine the feeling of joy, peace and security that | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| around it. And, my friends, you must not imagine the final reaching of this treasure to be | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| and independent while possessing self-centered drives, you may imagine what would happen. It would rule over all | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| imaginary fences that need not exist at all. Imagine wide open spaces, containing all the beauty of | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| They dread to even hear otherwise, because they imagine the truth to be laborious and fraught with | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| life, then yours is a happiness you cannot imagine. It is in the fearlessness of living, the | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| the laws of chemical bonding. You must not imagine that first the sphere exists and then the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| its expansion and creativeness can be. Let us imagine a human being who is entirely free. Such | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| That I can understand. ANSWER: Perhaps you can imagine also -- one sees this over and over | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| final reality, so it is nonsensical to even imagine that anyone could be in unity about any | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| On the surface the majority of people cannot imagine how they might harbor destructive desires. Even some | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| is not twofold, but a compounded fourfold one. Imagine the many mathematical possibilities that arise from such | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| which, in turn, create further negativity. Let us imagine two people, A and B. A momentarily expresses | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| This lack of control makes you unable to imagine how to take command. Now, you, with your | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| directly wastes energy and debilitates you. Can you imagine yourself forcing with all your might, and with | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| have more and better assets than you can imagine. But the separated ego thinks this development means | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| areas of life and personality than you can imagine, my friends. We have discussed the effects of | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| you thought you needed to do. You cannot imagine that it will work. Not even those of | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| guilty, so bad and unacceptable that you cannot imagine that anyone can love you. In this inner | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| most wondrous manner, to a degree you cannot imagine. Denying the intense ecstasy of this life force | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| creative powers, in their unlimited possibilities, you still imagine them coming as a special reward after you | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| the conscious and unconscious mind. You must not imagine that the conscious and unconscious are two different | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| Notice how you act contrary to what you imagine you want so much. When you find this | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| state in which it is impossible to float. Imagine a swimmer in such a physical state of | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| and inner guidance is laborious only because you imagine the truth to be so far away, much | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| appears in a different way from what you imagine in your present state, in which you may | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| with it in a new way. If you imagine a human being going through life physically half | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| possibly be conveyed in words. You must also imagine that this state knows no fear whatsoever, since | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| of trying to convey the almost unconveyable facts: imagine the conscious, functioning personality as an overall center | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| the conscious, functioning personality as an overall center. Imagine it like a planet. Then imagine the universal | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| overall center. Imagine it like a planet. Then imagine the universal spiritual self as another center, timeless | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| way, to feeling specific emotions, that you cannot imagine anything else and are unable even to discern | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |

| usually resist it with all their might. But imagine if the universe were created differently and negative | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| I am trying to convey here. Can you imagine for a moment that many familiar traits, which | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| all there is to you, or, equally erroneously, imagine that you have the power to make an | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| state. If such people plead humbly enough, they imagine the wish will be granted by this separated | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| true value will automatically and organically rebuild itself. Imagine a form composed of intense opposite movements that | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and thinking in one. This is hard to imagine when one has never had such an experience | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| is very hard for the average person to imagine, partly because you are so unaware of your | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| the most tragic of vicious circles: because you imagine that you cannot face the pain of your | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| pay. You had better remain closed up. Just imagine how your self-victimizing attitude will reinforce the irrational | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| negative intentionality, destructive attitude, dishonesty, and meanness. Just imagine how you would feel when someone close to | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| made to feel guilty by your hurt. Just imagine how this would set you free! How such | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| you can visualize its form in a picture: imagine a thick, golden, sparkling liquid, teeming with energy | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| accustomed to the latter that you cannot even imagine how else it could be. Now you are | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| and of the processes of life and creation. Imagine, as an analogy, a vast picture of which | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| of love that can then shine through. Just imagine, my friends, the incredibly painful predicament you put | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| in the one specific way that you now imagine limits the actual fulfillment. Give the creative process | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| even in these simple examples, you can perhaps imagine how many psychic nuclear points are necessary to | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| pattern, related to the larger plan. Trying to imagine the unimaginable meaning and purposefulness behind these plannings | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| of the creative process itself, always at work. Imagine the creation of a planet, of the human | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| a most exacting way that you cannot even imagine. Every detail is part of an exacting and | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| possibly envisage requires exacting research. You must also imagine that all other people who make contact with | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the physical level it is easy to see. Imagine that you squeeze a growing physical organism into | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| in a selfish, vain way. QUESTION: I can't imagine anything positive in the tendency to remove yourself | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| production, of course -- is always a challenge. Imagine that you lived under circumstances so sublime, favorable | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| was illusion or imagination or coincidence. Or you imagine you have dreamed the whole thing and the | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| as you continue on your path. You may imagine what this means in terms of ever increasing | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| consciousness is incredibly delightful, such as you cannot imagine. The odor of impure consciousness is unpleasant; it | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| organic movements are hindered. It is easy to imagine how this would affect the organism: it would | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| unknown and new -- does not threaten you. Imagine a life in which there is no fear | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| will intuitively perceive what you now cannot even imagine. You also begin to overcome death in a | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| of activity in the human community. You can imagine that children who grow up in a system | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| affect the world in a very new way. Imagine how much more forcefully truth will flow from | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| and insult others. It is very false to imagine that people who think little of themselves are | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| consciousness is the opposite of how human beings imagine it. The truth is that the dualistic, cut-off | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| this principle in your world of duality. You imagine that contraction is negative, bad, while expansion is | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| will yield much more than you can now imagine. The new age that has begun to manifest | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
