| the phenomenon of physical dying. One's will and attitude cause all outer happenings; so it is with | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |

| a certain movement. If you are in an attitude of love, say, the soul movement is very | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| is very different from one that reflects an attitude of fear and hate. The greatest obstruction is | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| letting go of something, giving up a certain attitude. Let us take a simple universal example: The | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| But the fear of death contains every false attitude I discussed in this lecture. Physical death is | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| What I do say is that the healthy attitude leading toward life would be an attitude somewhat | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |

| this will come depends on how genuine your attitude is and how deeply it is experienced. How | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| feel it. This action always implies a generous attitude of trust toward the universe. I said in | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| the universe. This is ungenerous and untrusting. This attitude is incompatible with the nature of the divine | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| the experience of it is blocked. When this attitude is exchanged for generous trust, you will experience | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| that brought it about, and sees the secret attitude that produced the unwelcome fate. Once cause and | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| matter. The principle is the same. The conscious attitude expresses whether or not you activate or whether | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| call this the masculine principle in creation. The attitude of letting be means to be receptive and | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| am telling you here. The consciousness behind the attitude of letting be is one of patient, trustful | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| the pseudo-masterful man issues forth. He has an attitude that puts the woman down to aggrandize himself | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| promise or knowledge of its opposite. First humanity's attitude is ambivalent about how it should experience life | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| whose capacity to experience pleasure is deep, whose attitude to life is trustful, positive, and expanding. They | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |

| long standing is the result of an inner attitude with concomitant behavior patterns, you are no longer | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| in the hand of fate. If such an attitude is completely seen, observed in action, and accepted | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| you so stubbornly hold on to a destructive attitude. Many of the following laws deal more specifically | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| and an opposite misconception must also exist. Each attitude has an opposite, which can be either a | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| before. Such blame always incurs an opposite, compensatory attitude of accepting burdens not one's own. The interconnection | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| opposite sides of the same basic principle or attitude. The Lever Law applies when a particular distortion | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |

| attitude is found and changed. Changing the latter attitude becomes the lever the person needs to open | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| recognized and the person can give up the attitude that removes self- respect, a new sense of | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| awareness through it. When we choose such an attitude, the apparent stumbling block assumes a new meaning | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| increases blindness and makes us retain the destructive attitude that produced it in the first place. Or | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| the first place. Or we can choose another attitude, which is at first more difficult: even though | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| often happens when least expected, since a relaxed attitude is necessary. Balancing Ego Functions and the Involuntary | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |

| The second, even more important facet concerns the attitude of letting go, which every genuine spiritual visionary | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |

| and that therefore frustration must also exist. This attitude holds true for the self and is also | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |

| the next step must be to make this attitude more specific. If you really want to find | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| so, although the recognition of exactly what this attitude is may come quite indirectly. This is the | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| undesirable. Then you may fall into the erroneous attitude of defiance and self-justification, because you believe that | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| important, world forming, or just a passing insignificant attitude, the principle is the same. I have often | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |

| how undesirable that is, and yet retain this attitude, and those who are ignorant of this fact | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| from what it covers. It is a hating attitude to pretend being a victim of the hate | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| within yourself and not change your outlook and attitude, or your feelings, you can begin to recreate | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |

| its overwhelming givingness; humanity's similar and hence compatible attitude; self-possession; the ability to deal realistically and constructively | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| The second link in the chain is your attitude. I already mentioned how your consciousness, your concept | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| life's essence, of its richness and generosity, your attitude will be totally different from the conviction that | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| particular entity or life itself. The suspicious, ungenerous attitude creates further negative, limiting aspects, for example, fear | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| it brings forth exactly according to your expectation, attitude, and concept. The firmer this conviction becomes as | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |

| do not discuss material things here, although your attitude toward them may be colored by your emotional | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| toward them may be colored by your emotional attitude. However, these attitudes are not always exactly parallel | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| is the more subtle level of feelings. Your attitude toward giving of your feelings, as opposed to | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| and without self-indulgence. Doing so fosters the helpful attitude that mistakes must be paid for and that | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| demand on the part of life. Such an attitude is never negative or hopeless, but rather leads | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| of suffering. In effect, the person expresses this attitude into life: There is no need to suffer | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| special dispensations for his ignorance and destructiveness. This attitude unites the right acceptance with the right rejection | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| opposites but can form a beautiful oneness. The attitude that comes into being from this unity expresses | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| nature -- a relaxed, confident, trustful state. This attitude renounces special treatment; it is humble and generous | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| temptation to feel victimized and accusatory. With this attitude, you become active and at the same time | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| realism with which you approach yourself. In this attitude you cannot fail to discover the generosity of | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| easily threatened or frightened. You maintain a positive attitude, even if there are occasional difficulties and disappointments | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |

| The immediacy exists, nevertheless, for each thought, feeling, attitude, and will-direction affects the substance that forms life | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| There the dualistic split reigns, and your positive attitude is constantly obstructed and fought by indwelling negativity | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| wherever there is conflict in your life, your attitude should not be to concentrate with woe on | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| constantly dealing with your lower self. Such an attitude leads to balanced development, integration, and a deep | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |

| to express itself. Here you need a receptive attitude, instead of a reaction that what comes forth | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| comes forth is devastating and catastrophic. The panicky attitude toward one's own unfolding destructive infant does more | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| pushing the infant away. Only with such an attitude can you come to understand the causes of | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| begin. The denying, panicky, frightened, self-rejecting, and perfection-demanding attitude you usually have makes every part of this | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| permit reeducation. It is the accepting and understanding attitude that enables the conscious ego to assert its | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| exclusive, you cannot grasp or feel the necessary attitude. Desire must exist for one to believe in | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| then detachment is a distortion of the real attitude. If involvement means merely an expression of a | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| outer changes and crises meet the same inner attitude. When the process of the crisis is accepted | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| erupts. The negation of this process, the inner attitude that says, I should not have to go | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| go through this now, prolongs the agony. This attitude seeks to avoid the necessary eruption of the | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| it is with every other constructive feeling and attitude. The more meaningful, constructive, fulfilled, and joyous your | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| as when you project it onto others. The attitude I am so bad, I am nothing is | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| even occur to you to assume this prayerful attitude and say, I want to change, but my | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| can be acquired. It is not a childish attitude that wants an authority to do it for | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| willingness to expose hidden shame; and the receptive attitude in which the ego knows its own limitations | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| ego knows its own limitations. In this receptive attitude you let God into your soul from deep | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| open up for it to happen. When this attitude is adopted, change becomes a living reality for | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |

| aspects you cannot become whole. Cultivate this altered attitude. The new attitude of acceptance does not mean | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| become whole. Cultivate this altered attitude. The new attitude of acceptance does not mean condoning, excusing, or | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| but it is certainly possible to acquire this attitude if you make a sincere effort and truly | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| But pride, selfwill, and fear make this healing attitude impossible. Selfwill is too bent upon its own | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| way, and I insist that it is. This attitude makes admission of the momentary truth impossible. Pride | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
