| rather than encourages it, all three are present: pride, self-will, and fear. There is the pride of | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| present: pride, self-will, and fear. There is the pride of wanting and needing to be perfect. And | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| must be pretense. All this implies a fierce pride. The self-will says, I have to be perfect | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| a superficial perfection. Again, this is pretense. Both pride and self-will lead to pretense. Or, to put | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |

| to set yourself up in a place of pride. The cowardice that feeds conformity is the same | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| that feeds conformity is the same as the pride that feeds superiority. Both can be shed only | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| eternal good. Vagueness and not looking at your pride and cowardice prevent you from reaching this natural | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| what is. When the present is fully acknowledged, pride and cowardice will drop away without effort. Cowardice | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |

| no shame or humiliation in giving up arrogant pride; it sees no lack of character in understanding | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| In their blind fear of imperfection and concomitant pride they overlook this fact. Thus the struggle to | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| safety, and confidence in life. It is only pride that keeps you from fully wanting to find | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| to find the cause within. And it is pride that makes the next step seem so difficult | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
