| that the presence of a fear of the negative does not necessarily annul a healthy wish for | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |

| longing for this experience is attached to a negative condition, difficulty and frustration must follow. The question | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| the positive life principle. This is what makes negative manifestations on this earth plane particularly serious or | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| pleasurable feelings will no longer be derived from negative circumstances. You are now used to the latter | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| and suppress the combination of pleasurable feelings and negative events. Instead of repressing it, denying it, looking | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| and concisely formulating this marriage of positive and negative forces, you will clearly see the exact image | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| pleasure principle has already been led into the negative channel and can be rechanneled only through awareness | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| unhappy situation. You see this frequently. Sometimes the negative condition manifests only in fantasies. These fantasies are | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| merely in fantasies that are utterly attached to negative experiences. At the other extreme are those who | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| as you remove the pleasure principle from the negative? ANSWER: Of course. One interacts with the other | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| between the life or pleasure principle and a negative situation, tension must exist; anxiety must exist. To | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| important that you become aware of the specific negative condition to which the pleasure principle in you | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| of the pleasure principle are geared to the negative, knowing that this need not and will not | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| between the automatic reflex of pleasure and a negative situation? Or is it the clinging to the | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| give up the inner lie, you will discover negative trends in yourself and you will understand more | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| and thus deadens the rich life substance. A negative chain reaction is triggered by your refusal to | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| feel distinctly unreal. The next link in the negative chain reaction, following self-alienation, is that these apparently | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| person experiences both desire and fulfillment as something negative. Healthy desire is a relaxed expansion, a reaching | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| from the real self, one's outlook is so negative that the fulfillment of desire is inconceivable. Hence | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| thoughts or actions. When you fear that your negative emotions are going to control you, you forget | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| determination to remain passively controlled by resistance or negative emotions. You labor under the illusion that you | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| out why you want to remain in a negative, undesirable state. By denying the truth that you | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| time you cannot come out of it. The negative and destructive substance you fear in yourself is | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| to the person who has hitherto embraced only negative possibilities and therefore could not see beyond them | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| directly connected with not being aware of the negative causes that you set in motion. The pathwork | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |

| to recognize and eliminate. Each time difficulties and negative moods appear, you must halt the negativity that | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you. You will be connected both with the negative causes you had not seen before and the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| act upon it. You give in to the negative, the destructive so easily! You entrust yourself so | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| so readily to the outer mechanics where the negative processes sweep you into a vortex. You have | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
