The Universality of Change—Reincarnative Process in the Same Life Span

Pathwork Guide Lecture No. 230  |  April 09, 1975

What is the seedplan? It is truly allowing Divine Substance to infiltrate all that is. And that substance is never static. It contains limitless possibilities for being, expression and creative manifestation—literally limitless ways of joyousness, ecstasy and wisdom, to such an extent that it cannot even be put into human language. Wherever this movement is stopped, a break in consciousness and energy occurs.

Venture in Mutuality: Healing Force to Change Negative Inner Will

Pathwork Guide Lecture No. 186  |  November 06, 1970

At the beginning of one’s path, one is aware only of what one consciously desires, wishes, wants, wills, intends, longs for.

It takes time and growth to experience the truth of life, that there must be something at work within the person that thwarts fulfillment.

To the degree these feelings are present, self-esteem is inevitably lacking, only this is not directly recognized. Such ignorance is all the more damaging, for you are then less capable of tackling the problem directly.

Self-Alienation and the Way Back to the Real Self

Pathwork Guide Lecture No. 95  |  January 05, 1962

Let us first understand the human struggle as such. The very state of being human is a problem because you find yourself in an in-between state. You have awakened from a lower state, a plant or animal form where you were in a state of being and in harmony, but without awareness. You have not yet reached a state of being in harmony with awareness. This in-between state is the human struggle, . . .

Distortions of the Instincts of Self-Preservation and Procreation

Pathwork Guide Lecture No. 85  |  May 12, 1961

The instinct of survival — or self-preservation — aims at gaining, maintaining, and improving life. By its very nature it works against anything that destroys or endangers life. Just as the body needs health to live, so the soul needs health to live most constructively. In order to live, one needs to be safe from destruction and damage.
