| attitudes which create both the inner and the outer problem. When outer manifestations occur that make you | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| both the inner and the outer problem. When outer manifestations occur that make you feel disharmonious, unpleasant | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| mood, an unpleasant inner reaction, or an actual outer happening apparently caused by other people, try to | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| difficulties may either be outer obstacles, or if outer obstacles are not yet on the horizon, you | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| immediately, because they are too deeply submerged. The outer, little confusions, however, are the symptoms of the | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| the larger, hidden ones. Therefore, one needs the outer happenings to point to the inner condition. Thus | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| QUESTION: When two people are involved in an outer manifestation, and it is not a small manifestation | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| is implied here that puts overimportance on the outer act and often diminishes the importance of the | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| condone here. I am not concerned with the outer manifestation, which is unimportant and secondary when we | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| the motivations which lead a person into unfaithfulness. Outer faithfulness may not be real faithfulness. So, you | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| not be real faithfulness. So, you see, the outer act, out of context and by itself, cannot | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| properly evaluated. Now how do we determine the outer and inner motivations? You cannot do so unless | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| effect a major change in one's life, unless outer conditions become too unbearable. One's feelings will usually | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| too immature to use it inwardly. By making outer rules and regulations they imposed restrictions that distorted | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| why the greater truth showed less vitality. ANSWER: Outer power may often bring outer success. Maybe just | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| less vitality. ANSWER: Outer power may often bring outer success. Maybe just because more truth was rooted | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| of the many, notwithstanding the extent of the outer power a successful religion may have. Here again | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| of something, and not to focus on the outer manifestation. From that point of view, success is | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| not ever think so consciously. In fact, your outer knowledge may contradict this inner state of experiencing | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| character tendencies, as well as passing moods or outer happenings, you tune into one of these currents | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |

| to project the blame for failure into the outer world, onto others, onto life. The more you | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |

| could be very different. When you penetrate this outer pseudo-calm, which is so easily disturbed by circumstances | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| comes automatically and is unattainable by deliberately initiated outer actions. As you experience this layer of resentment | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| you so decide. Help will come also through outer events that will focus your attention on the | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| into yourselves in every possible way. May all outer friction be a helping element to thus recognize | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| that your inner problems are responsible for your outer ones. So, my friends, do not for a | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
