VOLUME 1 | THE ADDRESSES
VOLUME 3 | THE ARTICLES The purpose of this writing is to act as a stimulus to your reading of history and to looking for the spiritual significance of the outward events of our time, as well as a stimulus to creating a greater sense of meaning in your own life. The purpose of the writing is also to reaffirm the fact that there are many forces that have been unleashed into our world such that we must continue to strengthen our resolve to not be anxious. Rather we must continue with those practices that awaken us to the real spiritual power that is available to us. Breaking New Ground – Signs of the Age of the Consciousness Soul The consciousness soul is an explosive force arising from within a human being. It is a life-giving impulse. It is an inner awakening. It is a ‘becoming’ force that works to make life on this earth better and greater and that always starts within the mind and heart of individuals. Vital Relationships What is a vital relationship? It is the experience of an energetic life force, of feeling rising into consciousness, of ideas germinating. What will assist in the development of relationships that are satisfying? And what attitudes or actions are going to assist the other people we meet to achieve satisfaction in their relationship? To assist in exploring these questions I will present examples of relationships and seek to draw out some of the principles that are being lived out in these relationships. Pioneers and Leaders in Action In the course of human history countless numbers of people have contributed to the welfare of nations and individuals. Part of our work is to open our minds to these great pioneers and leaders, to make the effort to see and feel about the vision they had, the preparations they made, and the dedication they displayed. Here is a goldmine, an essential source of inspiration for us. The Thread I find that when I live on the basis of spirit, on the basis of the fact that there is a spirit available to me, my life opens up. Abilities appear that I knew nothing about. The Spirit is Always at Work An interview with Max It seemed to me we were becoming more and more able to integrate what people were experiencing in their everyday life with what we were coming to know about the spiritual worlds, Christ, and the work of the Spirit. |
