PL 30 Self-Will, Pride and Fear

Posted June 4th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

In the first place, we may again clarify that there is a distinct difference between self-will and free will. To make sure that you understand it clearly in this connection, I will repeat that free will can be used for good or for bad; this is important.

PL 72 The Fear of Loving

Posted May 19th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

We now know that those who cannot love are immature. Immaturity causes unreality. Unreality, being untrue, must perforce, cause unhappiness and conflict, darkness and ignorance. Thus, maturity is really the ability to love. We also discussed that the child in you requires an unlimited amount of love. The child is as unreasonable, as void of…

PL 123 Liberation and Peace by Overcoming Fear of the Unknown

Posted May 13th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

To the degree you are unaware of what goes on within you, you will fear the passing of time and the “great unknown.” When one is young, these fears may be assuaged. But sooner or later every human being will be confronted more directly with the fear of death. I want to emphasize it again:…

PL 130 Finding True Abundance by Going Through Your Fear

Posted May 9th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

There are two philosophies about life and spiritual reality which seem completely contradictory. One says that the spiritually and emotionally mature person has to learn to accept the difficulties in life. In order to cope with life, people have to accept what they cannot immediately change, what is beyond their direct sphere of influence.

PL 136 The Illusory Fear of the Self

Posted May 9th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

The fear of the self is the basic fear behind the fear of life and even the fear of death. Neither could the fear of others possibly exist without the fear of oneself. A number of my friends are now approaching the point where the “big lie” of the mask and the pretense must be…

PL 142 The Longing for and the Fear of Happiness—Also, the Fear of Releasing the Little Ego

Posted May 7th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

To properly let go a healthy, balanced ego is needed, not indoctrinated with false concepts, false fears, and destructive attitudes. Only then can the ego give up the direct, over-tight control with the outer will, which then becomes possible and actually desirable.

PL 155 Fear of Self—Giving and Receiving

Posted May 6th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

In order to become what you truly are, the fundamental prerequisite is fearlessness. Overcoming fear of self is the key. Every kind of fear amounts, in the last analysis, to fear of self; for if there were no fear of your innermost self, you could not possibly fear anything in life. In fact, you could…

PL 170 Fear of Bliss Versus Longing for It—The Energy Centers

Posted May 5th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

Every human being has this apparently nonsensical fear to some degree. Even though it makes no sense, it nevertheless exists. Coexisting with your fear is an inherent longing for your true birthright, which is a state of supreme bliss, sublime joy, quite indescribable in human language.

PL 190 Importance of Experiencing All Feelings, Including Fear—The Dynamic State of Laziness

Posted April 29th, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

The capacity to own up to being fallible, human, vulnerable, irrational, wrong, needy, defenseless, weak and unhappy must by necessity increase your capacity to be strong, truly right and not self-righteous, truly independent, and fulfilled. The admission of heretofore apparently inadmissible feelings is the bridge to inner unity and fulfilling self-expression of life.

PL 243 The Great Existential Fear and Longing

Posted April 22nd, 2014 by Pathwork Admin & filed under Pathwork Lecture Podcasts.

The path I have the privilege to bring to you and help you on prepares you for this process. Little by little you deal first with the personal, individual violations of integrity and truth, level by level. The more open you are to this process, and, consequently, the more you recognize and loosen up your…
