| I do not mean that this substitute outgoing personality is an affectation, or what you may term | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| dilute the purity of the original and real personality. In a subtle way, you dramatize yourself and | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |

| promised that tonight's discussion would approach the human personality from a slightly different angle, and this is | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| the human soul. Such healing occurs when the personality learns to face errors, faults, and selfishness -- | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| facing the repressed negative aspects of the human personality. But this phase is by no means all | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| that is necessary to unfold and develop the personality to its maximum capacity. The human being suppresses | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| you to personal growth as befits your individual personality. You will come to see how often you | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| the most important for you. For your whole personality is influenced by many seemingly unimportant details. By | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| lingers in you about this facet of your personality, especially toward certain people. You may already surmise | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| consequences are that the maximum growth of your personality is gravely thwarted. Just as people often ignore | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| of discrimination has serious consequences for the human personality. The lack of awareness as to where your | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| its voice, is just as much cause for personality disturbances as the suppression of the negative aspects | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| are meant to be. To unfold the human personality in its entirety it is also necessary to | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| yielding other benefits for the unfoldment of the personality. Although there is no clear-cut borderline between these | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| from one life to the next. Thus, the personality will see whatever is important for judging and | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |
| Absolutely. It is only as long as the personality is split that each part of the personality | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |

| to be deadened by it. Then your entire personality will be revived by increased self-awareness. A particular | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| what the heart and soul perceives, and the personality allows the intuition to function in spite of | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| you to grow. It added to your whole personality, not only to your thinking process, but also | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| such a person: Given talent and a certain personality, including the need to sublimate, is the desire | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| person heals unhealthy aspects and attitudes of the personality, that person not only becomes capable of experiencing | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| form of stagnation on all levels of the personality. Only the generous freedom which comes from giving | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| the instincts grow within the rest of the personality and therefore become, as development proceeds, all the | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| the pleasure drive to another area of the personality. The healthy human personality, as it was meant | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| another area of the personality. The healthy human personality, as it was meant to be, is rich | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| be expressed more clearly and powerfully if your personality were whole and integrated, functioning healthily on all | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| this unhappiness cannot be measured objectively. What one personality type may be able to cope with quite | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| also facets of the idealized self, depending on personality, life conditions and early influences, which are not | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| creation of the idealized self. There are other personality types who know perfectly well that they cannot | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| to better oneself leads one to accept the personality as it is now. If this basic premise | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| construction. The more you invest your energies, your personality, your thought processes, concepts, ideas, and ideals into | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| intensity, and of how many areas of the personality it includes. For the clinical psychotic, the areas | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| life, the idealized self may pervade the whole personality, but there is still a certain sense of | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| or interfere with another. However, in the distorted personality they mutually exclude one another. One contradicts the | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| to receive love, such people develop several typical personality trends and patterns of inner and outer behavior | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| causes inversion and has serious repercussions on the personality, also manifesting in physical symptoms of all sorts | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| type of pseudo-solution is very dominant in the personality. In most cases, however, the attitudes are more | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| But by the time this reaches the outer personality, the goal may have been shifted to a | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| The urge may manifest on any level of personality. Outwardly, for instance, you may be generous with | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| inner starvation. This may not affect the entire personality. It depends on where the distortion exists and | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| consciousness. Since both distortions are intrinsically self-centered, the personality also becomes self-centered. Self-centeredness brings frustration, anxiety, tension | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| pseudo- safety of your idealized self-image. The healthy personality can take defeat. You all have to take | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| of two opposite directions, again according to your personality structure and chosen pseudo-solution. If your pseudo-solution is | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| idealized self-image exerts its rules, dictating to the personality to act accordingly. A should is sometimes not | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| to the fore. Yet a part of the personality still clings to the supposed safety of the | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| rigidly adhering to it. This happens when the personality unconsciously regards such an attitude as a solution | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| It alone can provide true security, although the personality going through the process feels acute insecurity and | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| general uncertainty in the atmosphere or in the personality of the parents. This creates anxiety. The child | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| work. In order to ward off danger, the personality assumes certain inner and outer behavior patterns, above | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| the one hand, and to personal limitations and personality disturbances on the other, this pleasure is not | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |

| be squelched and held in abeyance. The whole personality is geared toward obtaining safety, so it undermines | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| various forms. If the pleasure-supreme principle predominates, the personality will take a risk, but at such a | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| in time? How does that work in a personality? ANSWER: I just explained that. What exactly is | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| a continuing fusion without building a strong mask personality? ANSWER: Of course, the healthier a human being | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| It may then manifest only in the disturbed personality areas, and to a weaker extent. It will | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| life, it must also be incorporated in the personality, although you may not yet be aware of | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| not yet be aware of it. If the personality were entirely free of it, if there were | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
