| you all know -- an unbearable, twisted, bitter pain that stems from a forcing current that says | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| self-pity, resentments -- thus it destroys peace. Real pain is peaceful because you assume full self-responsibility without | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| therefore part and parcel of evil. Undefended, real pain opens doors, brings light, and exposes the core | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| what life offers, even if it is occasionally pain, it does not need negative intentionality. When residual | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| to feel the old, yet unexperienced feelings -- pain, longing, sadness, fear. When you are totally committed | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| you will make the transition from the false pain of complaining bitterness to the real pain that | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| false pain of complaining bitterness to the real pain that is soft, melting, and joyous -- yes | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |

| and appreciate yourself. It is the same with pain: the more you accept it, the less you | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the less you will feel it. Resistance to pain often makes it unbearable. The more you accept | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |

| as you lose your fear of self, of pain and of evil, you will be in the | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| unintelligent, and that it causes you and others pain and frustration, unfulfillment, and perpetual guilt and longing | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| personality: you see, know, understand, and fully experience pain, fear and anger; you assume responsibility for your | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| having a strong defense against feeling a specific pain; you know by many proofs that this pain | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| pain; you know by many proofs that this pain must be in you, but you cannot feel | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| on remaining in a state of falsehood and pain. Primarily it is a question of identification. As | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| and endure them, just as I can endure pain or disappointment. I now decide to no longer | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| to give up dishonesty is your guilt for pain you have inflicted, or are still inflicting. I | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| you have learned to open up to the pain you have endured, pain that has been inflicted | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| open up to the pain you have endured, pain that has been inflicted upon you, first, by | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| no longer defend quite so much against such pain, and more and more you can feel and | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| has turned away from the other aspect of pain: feeling the pain of your guilt for having | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| from the other aspect of pain: feeling the pain of your guilt for having inflicted pain on | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| the pain of your guilt for having inflicted pain on others. This is so for partially good | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| remorse and guilt: remorse is the deeply felt pain of your wrongdoing, yet without losing sight of | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| You become a better, stronger person when the pain of remorse is fully savored. Guilt crushes the | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| spoken of this before. If you cannot bear pain that others inflict upon you, then you cannot | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| you cannot experience in a constructive way the pain of your own guilt either. The guilt of | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| you most. If you are crushed by the pain of your guilt, this is only because you | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| a new reaction. Yes, you will feel the pain of guilt, and so you should. But as | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| and so you should. But as with the pain others have given you, if you can fully | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| can fully accept it, it ceases to be pain. When you fully feel the pain and are | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| to be pain. When you fully feel the pain and are motivated with your whole heart to | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| heart to give up the negative pattern, the pain of guilt will make way for a wonderful | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| crumbling under a load of guilt. Feel the pain of your withholding, of your spite, of your | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| hating. Now, my friends, let yourself feel the pain of inflicting pain: feel it without crumbling, without | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| friends, let yourself feel the pain of inflicting pain: feel it without crumbling, without exaggerating, without doubting | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| reality of love. If you cannot bear the pain of your guilt and look away from it | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| keys you need. Facing the guilt for the pain you inflict on others is really not very | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| is really not very different from facing the pain you have received. In both instances you can | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| within me will help me to feel the pain I have given and the pain I have | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| feel the pain I have given and the pain I have received. This attitude can now be | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| cause and effect, and be totally aware of pain received and pain given. See how one leads | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| and be totally aware of pain received and pain given. See how one leads to the other | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| is that the more you hide from the pain of your guilt, the more ruthlessly you punish | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| that the more you face and feel that pain, the less you will need to punish yourself | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| because you imagine that you cannot face the pain of your guilt, you cut yourself off from | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| joy. You feel that because you have given pain you do not deserve such an experience. But | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| now. Declare that you wish to feel the pain that is held in you, as it was | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| beautiful person you really are. Feel both the pain of your guilt and the beauty of your | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| As you do this, as you feel the pain of the guilt and the pain of what | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| feel the pain of the guilt and the pain of what has been done to you, it | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| you, it will become one and the same pain. You will then forgive yourself as you forgive | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| kind of confusion that hurts more than physical pain. The benefit of this new awareness is equally | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| of the loss of love and also the pain of guilt that I talked of in the | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| someone close to you, who has given you pain by pointing out your real and your false | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| much. We discussed in the last lecture the pain of guilt. The worst pain of guilt comes | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| last lecture the pain of guilt. The worst pain of guilt comes when you do not quite | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| it should be completely without anger, rage, fear, pain, or sadness. This idea is distorted and leads | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| hate. They may have gone through their residual pain. They may have dissipated their residual anger. This | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| produce violent hate and anger; at will produce pain and sadness; at will produce fear and terror | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| and to avoid already existing negativities, confusions and pain, is great. But this attitude defeats the purpose | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| it will make you forget your sadness and pain or let you gloss over those aspects of | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| there is a part of you which denies pain and frustration; a place where you are angry | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| complaints, and other defenses against cleanly experiencing this pain, you are not in truth about your present | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| present state. But if you just let the pain be and feel it without playing games like | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the channels to your spiritual self. Feeling the pain will also yield a deeper, fuller, and wiser | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| you will see how you attracted this particular pain. Such insight may not come immediately, for the | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| endure whatever is locked inside the psyche now: pain, meanness, malice, hate, suffering, guilt, fear, terror. All | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| entering, to bypass feeling your anxiety and your pain, to avoid owning up to your dishonesties, your | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| this path, because they find that the deepest pain is a revivifying experience. It releases contracted energy | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| to the degree they are willing to feel pain. The same applies to fear. To experience fear | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the sense that all is easy. The temporary pain and struggle will turn out to be your | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| wish being fulfilled, I can go through the pain of not having it and not be annihilated | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| deeply long for something and yet accept the pain of its unfulfillment? This seems a tall order | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| existence of this crust is the refutation of pain. Evil resists what is and thus splits itself | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| misconceptions of truth. If you are frightened of pain, together with its derivatives, such as frustration, disappointment | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| have an overly strong desire to have no pain, or you will deny the pain. A must-current | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| have no pain, or you will deny the pain. A must-current is set up in you that | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| that says, This I must have -- no pain -- This I must not have -- pain | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| pain -- This I must not have -- pain. Any such demand is a creative block. It | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| instance, if you insist on not having any pain, you will be so disconnected and tense that | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| when their machinations could abuse you. The very pain that this causes makes you blind to it | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| react blindly; you can neither feel the true pain, nor assert yourself. Conversely, if you do not | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| assert yourself. Conversely, if you do not fear pain, you can stand up for yourself and will | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| You cannot fear confrontation when you can experience pain. You will assert yourself if your pride permits | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| be wrong -- if you can suffer that pain. So, you see, my friends, not only is | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| not only is it untrue that acceptance of pain implies a masochistic, sacrificial weakness and submission, but | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| be what they are not. The conviction that pain and disappointment must not exist creates a very | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| out of a soft, relaxed, flowing movement. The pain of taking in something undesired affords you the | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| point and finding the light behind it. The pain of accepting the absence of something desired affords | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
