| act of emptying is the surrender of the outer self saying, I am in confusion, I ask | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |

| conflict between the two. The superimposed intellect, the outer intelligence, is filled with, motivated and moved by | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| a positive alternative. QUESTION: You speak of the outer self as the child. Is it not the | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| to believe that the child is necessarily the outer self. This might not always be accurate. The | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |

| of the ego, meaning by this word the outer level of personality? The ego level is more | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| enough, you lack the faculties characteristic of your outer self which are to think, discriminate, decide, and | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| appropriately in any situation you encounter in the outer world. Anyone who strives to reach the real | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |

| Only when you are fully possessed of your outer self, your ego, can you dispense with it | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| In a distorted view, the life of the outer person is often hard. You have to work | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| and not of you as a whole and outer person, for there are many levels where you | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |

| role, no matter how this is camouflaged by outer submissiveness which, in itself, may appear as lovingness | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| and pinpoint that? ANSWER: Yes. It is an outer symbol of the inner fear mentioned in this | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| feel or think that restraint is due to outer demands, outer authority. With the awareness that you | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| think that restraint is due to outer demands, outer authority. With the awareness that you are making | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| restraint is exercised because of demands from the outer world, or because you choose it with your | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| as seems inevitable when love is attempted by outer good will. When, however, you use outer good | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| by outer good will. When, however, you use outer good will in order to recognize that behind | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| thin and precarious, very much dependent upon apparently outer circumstances. If people understand these processes not only | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the ignorance of, and lack of differentiation between, outer and inner self. All suffering is related to | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| and the real self is hidden from your outer awareness, control ends. It is then that you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| muscles at will. You can determine with your outer, or ego self, when and how to use | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| functions are under the direct jurisdiction of your outer will and cannot work unless outer will is | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| of your outer will and cannot work unless outer will is exerted. To summarize, all voluntary body | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| functions are under the direct control of your outer ego. But there is a vast area of | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| is a vast area of your body the outer will cannot directly reach. These functions are not | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| functions are not under the jurisdiction of the outer will. They work in perfect order without any | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| function well without any apparent determination of your outer will. The inner bodily functions are not governed | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| The inner bodily functions are not governed by outer control. This is frightening for you, because you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| body, your spontaneous reactions, and a number of outer circumstances. But is it true that you must | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| You have direct control over certain happenings. Your outer, direct will can determine certain actions which you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| body, your inner world of feelings, and your outer life are all the same. They are divided | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| to play with you, the concept of an outer God has arisen -- a God who needs | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| depths of your spiritual being, often reaches the outer regions of the personality in a mangled, distorted | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| way. You often attempt it by tensing your outer will and trying to assert it over regions | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| You thus misdirect the will faculties of your outer ego. Those of you, my friends, who have | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| be at work, governing your fate and your outer life circumstances. You realize that your control expands | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| must be used to diminish the strength of outer will. The idea that outer will is omnipotent | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the strength of outer will. The idea that outer will is omnipotent must be relinquished, and the | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| will is omnipotent must be relinquished, and the outer faculties must entrust themselves to the inner. At | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| to exert control over areas inaccessible to your outer will -- for example, inner body processes -- | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| valuable ego energy. Instead, you will use your outer mind to make contact with the inner self | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| itself, for it responds only to consciousness. Your outer, as well as inner consciousness has the power | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| vastly overlooked is that the limitations of the outer ego faculties exist only as long as you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| -- including body, feelings, and apparent fate. The outer consciousness must be used to activate the inner | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| only to a direct, deliberate effort of the outer mind. It is this two-step, indirect approach to | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| psyche. These distortions create a barrier between the outer and the inner consciousness. But as more insight | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the destructive attitudes change, the cooperation between the outer and inner self extends the areas of control | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| control, as opposed to the direct control of outer faculties. And as development continues, remote control becomes | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| becomes more and more direct. Then inner and outer faculties become one. And as this process continues | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| control -- when to let go of the outer ego faculties, when to relinquish tight over-control, and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| to relinquish tight over-control, and when to use outer will in the proper way -- is no | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| physical, emotional, or mental system, or in the outer life circumstances of a person. It is true | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |

| obvious and direct resources. The knowledge that the outer and inner self have to cooperate to bring | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| person who has to be contacted with the outer, ego faculties of will and mind. This should | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |

| the phenomenon of dying takes place on the outer levels. But where a balance is established, life | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| life continues, and death is an impossibility. The outer, physical levels follow suit automatically as the psychological | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| this process, how many people, regardless of their outer action, can experience the pleasure principle only in | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| terms, you will know and perfectly understand certain outer manifestations of your problems. This relief of thorough | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| others -- even those who have the best outer intent to find themselves -- skirt the issue | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| keep alive. Hence, oneness is established between the outer and the inner you. You give up the | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| you. You give up the struggle between the outer and the inner you when there is no | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| Be in God! 137. BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL Greetings, my dearest friends. There is a | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| indwelling destructive element ceases as soon as the outer ego is able to recognize its oneness with | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| brings the most favorable consequences in inner and outer life experience. Other areas may still be walled | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| conscious intelligence and will, which form the active outer mind and personality, and that inner, vast divine | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| solely in cooperation with the inner center. The outer personality levels serve one purpose: to reach the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| a deliberate contact with the inner center. The outer self has to allow itself to be guided | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| comes forth from the inner self. When the outer personality deliberately makes room for it, the inner | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| self will spontaneously manifest. In this process the outer personality will eventually integrate with the inner nucleus | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| eventually integrate with the inner nucleus. When your outer self tries to accomplish that which the inner | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| In its oblivion to the inner core, the outer self will try as hard as it can | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| of this futile struggle, with all its senseless outer pressure, also induces the personality to give up | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| thought processes that indulge in negativity, while the outer will fights, struggles and presses for a desired | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| If only you would say, I, with my outer being, cannot solve this problem. But I know | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| power. You will feel a oneness between your outer self and the center you call into manifestation | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you, or as though the manifestations in your outer life had nothing to do with you. You | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| emerge from any difficulty if you trust the outer mind exclusively. Let the outer mind be filled | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you trust the outer mind exclusively. Let the outer mind be filled with the inner being. Only | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| experience the mutual freedom of true love. The outer mind, intellect or will cannot resolve such a | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| therefore of receiving love and remaining free. Your outer self does not understand this. You cannot produce | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| at all times. It cannot respond unless your outer mind, which is separated from the nucleus, deliberately | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| easily! You entrust yourself so readily to the outer mechanics where the negative processes sweep you into | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| desire to emerge from any negative inner or outer situation. As you do this, reach for the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| have amply experienced that relying solely on your outer faculties was how you got into the undesirable | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| into the undesirable situation you find yourself in. Outer pressure -- tension and forcing currents -- have | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| longer have to make an effort with your outer mind to formulate constructive desire and to contact | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| all of its expressions, the inner and the outer facets of consciousness are united. There is no | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| at any given moment, so that even your outer mind, which must take the first step to | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| solution. Salvation, my friends, lies exclusively in reuniting outer mind with inner nucleus. Salvation is so near | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| shows that you are not dependent on any outer power that has to be coerced, submitted to | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| If the relationship is determined solely by the outer intellect and will, these faculties cannot find the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| about the rhythm of this mutual interchange, the outer brain is unable to effect the balance. Nor | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
