| damaging tendencies and inner reactions. When you become aware of this unfair demand you extend to God | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| is not buried at all. I am completely aware of it. You may indeed be aware of | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| completely aware of it. You may indeed be aware of the longing to some extent. But even | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| of this work, you are bound to become aware that this constant tendency to fight for approval | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| ANSWER: Yes. The first step is to become aware that this desire exists in you, and to | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| and to what extent. You must become completely aware to what degree you are dissatisfied in this | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| this respect. You also have to become utterly aware of the substitution. You have to experience the | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| constantly fight for approval. You have to become aware of the compulsion to prove whatever it is | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |

| In the course of the work, you become aware of your emotions and their significance. Thus you | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| you have harbored so far. You then become aware of the emotional unreality in which you have | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| real root in your inner world. By becoming aware of the unreality within yourself -- that is | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| first, and perhaps hardest, step is to become aware that this very deep problem does exist. When | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| to avoid the other. You must become acutely aware of all your hidden emotions and unrealities if | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| of approaching reality and you may not be aware of them at all. Therefore, when you hear | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| you create unreality, you must begin by becoming aware of the many little disappointments that you do | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| disappear by looking away from it. By becoming aware of your many little disappointments, you will come | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| But as I said, first you must become aware that in not getting your way, whether in | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
