Here are fascinating answers to a deep and wide variety of life-related questions. Such great soul-searching inquiries are answered through the specific questions that were asked at lectures and Question & Answer sessions—Q&As, as they were called—held primarily in New York from 1957 through 1979 by Eva Pierrakos. While Eva was the person who spoke…

1.3 Going to church (Religion) 7:57

4M ago7:57

7:57

Even if one has little interest in organized religion, one can still have a longing for the atmosphere that can exist in a church—a feeling of awe standing in front of something that is higher.

1.5 Eastern religions vs. Christianity (Religion) 5:05

4M ago5:05

5:05

Why does Hindu philosophy not include the Fall of the Angels, as the Plan of Salvation does? Is that perhaps the reason why the female aspect of God is recognized more there, and the male aspect of God more in the West, and that is why East and West ought to get together?By Phoenesse

1.6 Religious laws & rituals (Religion) 15:48

4M ago15:48

15:48

In general, what purpose does ritual serve? ________ In the traditional Scriptures of Judaism and Islam, the texts are specific regarding the consumption of fish, flesh, and fowl; it is commanded that “of their flesh shall we not eat.” But in the fifteenth verse of Matthew, Jesus said, “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man, but that…

4M ago10:11

10:11

Will you explain the meaning of keeping the Sabbath holy in the face of our present-day obligations? ________ This night is the eve of the Sabbath.

1.9 True religion (Religion) 14:13

4M ago14:13

14:13

Could you explain what “true religion” is, as compared to the wrong attitude? Where does belief in God and his help come in? But how can we go about it? This God-image is so embedded in us after so many decades of learning the false attitude. Wouldn’t prayer change too if we discarded this concept? Wouldn’t everything change? What religion is farth…

2.1 Christ (Jesus Christ) 3:05

4M ago3:05

3:05

“The answer always lies within the self. For if it were otherwise, man would indeed be lost. The fact that he has himself as a key, which makes it so accessible and so possible to stop fear and to stop uncertainty, that is the beauty and the truth of creation. It is possible to know yourself.” – Pathwork® Guide, Q&A #130 I would like to ask whether…

2.2 Salvation (Jesus Christ) 11:46

4M ago11:46

11:46

Here we are taught that salvation comes through work, through self-search, through effort and through the finding of images to be cast off. Today, a man who calls himself a “twice-born Christian” asked me whether I accepted Jesus as my personal savior, and that unless I did, I would not find salvation. My question is: how are we to reconcile this C…

2.5 Jesus’ travels (Jesus Christ) 2:37

4M ago2:37

2:37

I understand the Bible does not account for Christ’s life between approximately the ages of 12 and 30. I have read that during his teens and early twenties, roughly, Christ went through training in secret orders. Then he conducted a worldwide ministry before returning to the Middle East to conduct the last period of his life mentioned in the Bible.…

5M ago7:59

7:59

I would like to ask if you could explain the miracle of Therese von Neumann* who has the stigmata that bleed every week; she has not eaten for years.

This story said that a child broke a wooden Madonna and …

5M ago14:30

14:30

2.12 Pathwork Guide Lecture #19: Jesus Christ 23:07

5M ago23:07

23:07

From the Pathwork Q&A on Salvation: “I explained at length in what way the act of Jesus Christ constituted salvation for all the fallen beings, what his contribution was and how it opened the door and showed the way (Pathwork Guide Lectures #19-22). I do not have to repeat that now, for it is all on record and it is useless to take the available ti…

2.13 Pathwork Guide Lecture #20: God: The creation 40:24

5M ago40:24

40:24

Excerpt from lecture: As I said in my last lecture, God put forth as His first creation the spirit of Jesus Christ and most of this divine substance is in Christ.

2.14 Pathwork Guide Lecture #21: The Fall 25:54

5M ago25:54

25:54

Excerpt from lecture: Since one of the most important divine aspects is free will or freedom of choice, this had to turn into its opposite too. The spirit who was the first to succumb to the temptation of abusing this power, the one who is sometimes referred to as Lucifer, Satan, or the Devil, who influenced others to follow him, would naturally ha…

3.2 Making the metaphysical connection (Reincarnation) 5:24

5M ago5:24

5:24

The metaphysical bent within a person is God’s gift, because through it he or she has the opportunity to get closer to God, provided the quest is diligently pursued.

3.10 Cloning (Reincarnation) 4:20

5M ago4:20

4:20

Scientists are now able to clone animals.

So when life is not produced in a human way but is produced in a scientific…

1
3.13 Reincarnation within same lifespan (Reincarnation) 5:03

5M ago5:03

5:03

The concept of reincarnation in the same life is very moving. In such a process, is the person aware of it? Are there any physical signs? Does it occur in sleep or in a waking state? Is it possible that fear of life is really a fear of dying and reincarnating within this life—the process of giving up the old and moving on to the new? I’d like to kn…

4.8 Seers and Nostradamus (The Spirit World) 4:05

6M ago4:05

4:05

May I ask in this connection about Nostradamus who has prophesied some of these events? Isn’t that impossible to do, over 400 to 500 years?
