When we set off on the road of our chosen spiritual path, we often have a sincere desire to unite with God. But before we can do that, we have to sort out how to unite with our fellow human beings… Right here, right now, we can find God right where we’re standing, but only if we can learn how to love…
Our spiritual work, which comes in answer to our prayers, arrives in the form of a conflict or a friction. Something happens that makes us feel we’re being treated unjustly. This will give us a chance to recognize our inner errors and purify our souls… The moment we say a prayer asking for help and strength, our problems may intensify. That’s when we know our prayers are being answered… We think the frictions in our lives have nothing to do with us…
Any prayer to know the truth will always be answered—if we knock, the door will be opened—and the newly arriving recognitions will cancel out the disharmony, our feelings of injustice, and our misery and defiance. Frictions with our brothers and sisters will then melt like snow in the sun. We will unite with understanding and with love. There is no other reason for life on Earth than to do this, and it’s never too late to begin…
Wenn wir die sind Grund Typ, we govern our lives primarily using the reasoning process, making us prone to neglecting our emotions. Frankly, we’re afraid of our feelings so we thwart them. In doing so, though, we cripple one of our most important faculties: intuition… The Reason Type tends to miss out on a lot of life experiences due to fear and pride. Because we basically fear any emotions that might lead to an experience we don’t think we’ll be able to handle… We, the Reason Type, like to keep everything well in hand, always “knowing” where we stand. But avoiding emotions leaves us adrift from our core…
Die Emotionstyp ist genauso einseitig. Wir sind stolz darauf, wirklich fühlen zu können. Obwohl es uns leichter fällt, mit unserer inneren Göttlichkeit in Verbindung zu treten, lassen wir uns leicht von unseren Emotionen mitreißen… Als emotionale Typen blicken wir insgeheim auf rationale Typen herab. Wir bezeichnen sie womöglich abfällig als „Intellektuelle“ und übersehen dabei, dass Vernunft genauso gottgegeben ist wie Emotionen… Wenn wir ein extrem emotionaler Typ sind, beeinflussen wir unsere Umgebung mit unseren unkontrollierten Emotionen…
None of us can exist without the use of our will. And the Emotion Type uses will in a chaotic and impulsive way, without careful consideration… Our will should always be the servant and never the master. So ideally, our will should equally serve our emotional, intuitive faculties and our reasoning processes. But the Will Typ Das macht aus dem Diener einen Herrn, was uns auf gefährliche Weise vom Fokus ablenkt… Wenn wir vom Willenstyp sind, neigen wir dazu, Vorsicht zu missachten und die vielen wesentlichen Überlegungen aus den Augen zu verlieren, die nötig sind, um in jeder Situation die Wahrheit zu erkennen…
In their highest state of perfection, the Reason Type is the Angel of Wisdom, the Emotion Type is the Angel of Love, and the Will Type is the Angel of Courage. These are all aspects of divinity that each of us can develop, and which can all work together in harmony… For most of us, we’ll see how two of three faculties dominate and a third is crippled… We’re wrong in thinking that our extreme is better than the other extremes. Extreme is extreme, and it’s never in the middle of the road, which is where we want to be.
