| first, crass, instance of attaching cruelty to the pleasure principle or the life principle -- they are | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| self-realization, gradually changes the inner orientation of the pleasure principle. In their spontaneous reaction, more and more | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| succeed in facing and understanding your conflict, the pleasure principle will run in different channels. As this | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| to find your specific inner marriage between the pleasure current and a negative condition. As you find | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| Second, discover in what respect the life and pleasure principle is attached to a negative condition. To | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| this marriage mean that the person cannot experience pleasure without also experiencing revenge -- some kind of | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| exactly that. Or it might also be that pleasure can be experienced only in connection with being | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| rejection may occur. QUESTION: But they didn't experience pleasure when they were rejected. ANSWER: Of course not | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| Of course not. But the child uses the pleasure principle to make the negative event, the suffering | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| and almost automatically. Inadvertently, as it were, the pleasure principle combines with the negative condition. The only | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| geared to a situation that combines the inherent pleasure current with the painful event. QUESTION: And the | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| accepting and favorable situation. In such cases the pleasure principle has already been led into the negative | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| very nature of this conflict is that the pleasure principle functions the way people consciously want least | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| understand that? QUESTION: I don't quite understand how pleasure can be experienced at all when someone is | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| a much healthier way than others, and their pleasure principle responds more strongly to a positive situation | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| relaxation and stagnation lessen as you remove the pleasure principle from the negative? ANSWER: Of course. One | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| or marriage, takes place between the life or pleasure principle and a negative situation, tension must exist | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| a short-circuit hinders the real experience of the pleasure principle, that in itself is stagnation. It is | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| me in this marriage of negativity and the pleasure principle: I had to set up a rejection | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| of the specific negative condition to which the pleasure principle in you reacts. This awareness must be | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| with courage how the automatic reflexes of the pleasure principle are geared to the negative, knowing that | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| their fantasies but are unable to experience the pleasure principle in any other way, whether or not | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| fantasy life exists out of fear that the pleasure will be lost altogether. It then cannot be | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| then cannot be conceived that the pure, healthy pleasure principle manifests much more beautifully and satisfyingly when | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| giving up the fantasy means giving up the pleasure. So one does not wish to part with | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| one does not wish to part with one's pleasure. It is important to distinguish which of the | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| of the link between the automatic reflex of pleasure and a negative situation? Or is it the | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| of fear of having to do without any pleasure? Both resistances are the result of misconceptions. These | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |

| life, growth, unfoldment, affirmation, beauty, love, inclusion, union, pleasure supreme. Whenever this direction is counteracted by another | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| positive and negative directions are attached to the pleasure principle. It is this attachment that makes it | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| direction and change. The positively and negatively oriented pleasure principle tears you apart. It inflicts pain on | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| denial. Since this is so painful, the negative pleasure principle attaches itself to it, making the pain | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| fierce and as difficult to overcome if the pleasure principle were not attached to it. You then | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| of not wanting to part from the precarious pleasure you derive from indulging in destructive feelings and | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| self-doubt, you were attached to the negatively oriented pleasure principle. You enjoyed your woes. Now, you have | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| still existing, because not yet fully recognized, negative pleasure principle attaches itself to your understanding of the | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| other you build up until the old negative pleasure principle has reappeared in a new guise. This | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| of limitless possibilities, meaningful expansion and experience, of pleasure supreme, is knowing that this level is intact | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| themselves. You do so partly because you derive pleasure from complaining and unhappiness. Partly you truly fear | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| too much. Both these pains will turn into pleasure, when harmony has been attained. QUESTION: I stick | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |

| there is also one's attitude to nature, art, pleasure and leisure, spiritual reality, self-development and permanent values | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| becomes conscious. Where in this respect is my pleasure principle attached to a destructiveness? I intend to | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| is constantly regenerated through the attachment of the pleasure principle to the negativity. This is the way | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| negative self-perpetuating field can only exist when the pleasure drive is negatively attached to a particular destructive | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| entire field, consisting of my negativity and the pleasure attached to it, then there will be no | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| attached to it, then there will be no pleasure. The fear is that your pleasure will be | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| be no pleasure. The fear is that your pleasure will be taken away when the negativity is | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| self, once it has been ascertained that one's pleasure is not being taken away. Pleasure can be | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| that one's pleasure is not being taken away. Pleasure can be yours in infinitely better and more | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| taken place is to be in utter positive pleasure. COMMENT: Very often we put a false price | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| we put a false price on paying for pleasure. It is not necessary. There is no price | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| fell swoop. And yet you will get more pleasure out of such encounters than before. Do not | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| any other peripheral values, including personal pain or pleasure. If awakening the real self requires what temporarily | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| real self bring peace, joy, well-being, and intense pleasure. Such is the stream of life, which is | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| exist for good, for expansion, for unfoldment, for pleasure. The human scope is just too limited for | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| totally positive and affirming. Therefore it produces total pleasure for any living, feeling, perceiving consciousness. The more | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| fully this consciousness is developed, the fuller the pleasure it can experience from and through the pure | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| original event in this life, when the positive pleasure force was blocked, hindered, or prohibited and has | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| cannot be stated accurately that in this unpleasure, pleasure is totally absent. I mentioned this before in | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| very specifically, that in your negativity, paradoxically, both pleasure and unpleasure are simultaneously present. This is very | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| terms of the explanation I have given. The pleasure principle cannot possibly be completely absent even though | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| possible for you to be aware of the pleasure attached to your destructiveness. Instead of feeling guilty | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| your destructiveness. Instead of feeling guilty about this pleasure and consequently repressing it, you will be in | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| reconvert itself. The attachment of or connection between pleasure and destructiveness has been instrumental in the widespread | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| guilt human beings feel about all experiences of pleasure. This in turn is responsible for numbing all | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| responsible for numbing all feelings. For how can pleasure be liberated from destructiveness if both are considered | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| wrong? And yet, human beings cannot live without pleasure even if they have to have it in | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| to have it in secret, for life and pleasure are one and the same. When pleasure is | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and pleasure are one and the same. When pleasure is linked to destructiveness, destructiveness cannot be given | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| your inner life you hold on equally to pleasure and destructiveness, feeling guilty and at the same | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| aspect in your destructiveness. You must feel the pleasure attached to the unpleasure of the problem. This | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| This must be a distinct realization. Since the pleasure current in the life force primarily manifests itself | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| at the same time contains aspects of the pleasure principle. Therefore, every difficult situation in life represents | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| cause where it is still enlivened by the pleasure aspect. You on this path must therefore go | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| it were, and permit yourself to feel the pleasure in the destructiveness. Then and only then will | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the parallel between the outer problem and the pleasure current in your sexuality, you will be able | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the outer problem. Your inability to feel the pleasure in the unpleasure is the result of your | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| pleasure/unpleasure dichotomy produces an unconscious fixation of the pleasure experience on a negative situation. You then fight | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and then you will see the dichotomy between pleasure and unpleasure. You will understand and experience why | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| any questions? QUESTION: What makes the perception of pleasure so unique and specific in relation to the | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| It is known that you human beings fear pleasure when you are still full of conflicts and | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| this startling fact: you are more afraid of pleasure than of pain. If you have not verified | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| deep into your psychic processes to feel the pleasure in the unpleasure. Total pleasure is feared for | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| to feel the pleasure in the unpleasure. Total pleasure is feared for a very important reason: the | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| is feared for a very important reason: the pleasure supreme of the cosmic energy current must seem | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and malice still exist in the psyche, pure pleasure must be rejected. Hence the negative pleasure is | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| pure pleasure must be rejected. Hence the negative pleasure is the only way the entity can experience | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| way the entity can experience a modicum of pleasure at all. When you who are on your | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| path find that deep within yourself you fear pleasure as a danger, you must ask yourself, Where | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| precisely where, why, and to what degree pure pleasure must be rejected. When you ascertain in yourself | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| ascertain in yourself that you fear and reject pleasure, and it is not that life deprives you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| has closed your access to transforming the negative pleasure and forced you to reject pleasure that is | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the negative pleasure and forced you to reject pleasure that is unhampered by pain. QUESTION: Would you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| is unhampered by pain. QUESTION: Would you define pleasure as expansion and pain as contraction? ANSWER: Yes | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| that it is a cramp. But in pure pleasure there is also contraction, only in a rhythmic | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| contraction. QUESTION: The way I experience fear of pleasure is by experiencing a fear of losing myself | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| by experiencing a fear of losing myself in pleasure. Is that what you meant? ANSWER: Yes, this | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| run away from the nucleus of your negative pleasure principle, as explained in this lecture. It has | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| ever. QUESTION: Is the principle of pain and pleasure characteristic of this earth sphere? ANSWER: It is | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and so within themselves. In all these cases, pleasure and pain must exist as opposites. As I | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| this plane the good and the bad forces, pleasure and pain, are thought of as two separate | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| of the pull toward others, but also of pleasure supreme. Life and pleasure are one. Lack of | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| others, but also of pleasure supreme. Life and pleasure are one. Lack of pleasure is the distortion | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| supreme. Life and pleasure are one. Lack of pleasure is the distortion of the life force and | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| and comes from opposing the creative principle. Life, pleasure, contact and oneness with others are the goal | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| distorted manifestations of the life principle, of the pleasure current, as though they were proof of its | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| others will be relatively blissful and unproblematic. Their pleasure principle will create mutuality, genuine love, and pleasure | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| pleasure principle will create mutuality, genuine love, and pleasure supreme. To the degree that opposition to the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| negative and painful contact has to ensue. The pleasure principle will be attached to a negative situation | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| This makes fulfillment impossible because the experience of pleasure is always threatened by the attached negativity. The | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| are inevitable byproducts of the contact. Since the pleasure principle always remains an element in the life | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| itself to the distorted form of contact. The pleasure embodied in the greatest force in human life | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| eliminated, but where this force is distorted, the pleasure becomes negative. Since contact appears to hurt, pleasure | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| pleasure becomes negative. Since contact appears to hurt, pleasure manifests either in hurting or in being hurt | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| or lesser degree. The connection between hurt and pleasure engenders a vicious circle. The more painfully the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| engenders a vicious circle. The more painfully the pleasure principle of the cosmic pull manifests, the greater | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the negative connection between contact, pain, and the pleasure principle. You must look beyond it by committing | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| as well as the shameful attachments of the pleasure principle to negative situations is not your deepest | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| now discuss frustration as it relates to the pleasure principle. The infant, striving for its pleasure, is | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the pleasure principle. The infant, striving for its pleasure, is in its blindness incapable of tolerating frustration | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| can endure frustration, the less one experiences the pleasure. Rigidly insistent people lose the pleasure they strive | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| experiences the pleasure. Rigidly insistent people lose the pleasure they strive for, either because their very striving | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| enjoyment impossible. Such people cannot win. For real pleasure to be felt, a relaxed inner state is | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| these traits defeat the life principle and the pleasure stream. It is human error to assume that | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| adopted in a so-called spiritual guise, and render pleasure impossible. Instead, feelings of hopelessness and waste set | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| feelings of hopelessness and waste set in. Since pleasure is a byproduct of the cosmic stream it | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
