| It goes without saying that a fundamental personality problem may, in some way, be connected with this | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| again take an example. Suppose you have a problem with partnership, a difficulty in relating to the | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |

| us take one more example, assuming your main problem is a difficulty in making the best of | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| The greater the resistance to openly face a problem, the more important is it to do so | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| is a much more fundamental aspect of the problem than the more superficial rebellion against sexual injustice | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| altogether. There is a never-failing key to this problem however, which, when used, will eliminate the conflict | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| Wherever fear of life, or confronting a certain problem exists, you will be disturbed by the fear | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| If you watch the half-conscious reactions in the problem areas of your life, you will learn all | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |

| exists in proportion to the difficulty of the problem and the work. The no-current cannot be eliminated | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |

| deeper fear. It is impossible to resolve a problem when one deals with the displacement of it | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| that you have nothing to do with your problem, that you are helpless to change your predicament | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| because one is too deeply involved in one's problem. Talking it out relieves pressure and that sets | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| utterly false premise. It is often a nonexistent problem in itself, or it exists in an entirely | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| consider. When you build defenses against a nonexistent problem, no matter how you struggle, no matter how | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| reads these words -- still struggles against a problem that does not exist. Let us take a | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| or not you consciously consider this as a problem in you, you battle against it, trying in | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| way to solve it. Trying to solve a problem that does not exist must create real problems | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| as to be better equipped to solve your problem of rejection and inadequacy -- a problem that | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| your problem of rejection and inadequacy -- a problem that does not exist. As long as you | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| occur. The emptying consists of recognizing that the problem you struggle against is not a real problem | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| problem you struggle against is not a real problem, but an imaginary one -- an image! Out | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| one -- an image! Out of this imaginary problem arise a number of general and particular misconceptions | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| blocks it is the struggle against the nonexistent problem. As a result of the struggle, a no- | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| must be unearthed, as well as the nonexistent problem that you battle against. Then, and then only | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| you are in untruth, in what way the problem you fight against is imaginary, and why this | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| as you ignore the fact that the particular problem you struggle with does not exist in reality | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| there is an inner struggle against a nonexistent problem and that struggle is finally given up. Whenever | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| doing just that. This is why the imaginary problem that you fight against, with its concomitant false | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| helps me. Perhaps you can now approach this problem with a new understanding. Ask yourself: Am I | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| In other words, commit yourself honestly to the problem of your doubting. As long as you doubt | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| you do not honestly commit yourself to the problem. How can a problem be resolved, or dissolved | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| commit yourself to the problem. How can a problem be resolved, or dissolved, if one does not | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| entirety of the wrong assumption -- that the problem itself is non-existent -- is often overlooked. That | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| the world. It is connected with an imaginary problem. Unfortunately, even though this fact has already been | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| conditions of birth are then no longer a problem. The way you now perceive the process of | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| will come by itself if you shelve this problem now. The more you comprehend cause and effect | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| a profound understanding and experience of your basic problem. The self-punishment is a substitute for giving up | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| and do not forget: It is not the problem itself, nor the conflict, nor even the misconception | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| lived, experienced. There will no longer be a problem or confusion about the use of faculties. What | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the proper way -- is no longer a problem. Nor is it necessary any longer to numb | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| like to connect what you said with a problem I have. It seems that I have a | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the goal you feel you should accomplish. The problem is not merely that your goal is unrealistic | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| them, because it happens to touch their immediate problem. But I speak to everyone here, and to | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| and willing. In the areas of your momentary problem you will formulate the one constructive wish to | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| I, with my outer being, cannot solve this problem. But I know that I must be in | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you find the way out of each specific problem. The reestablishment of the correct balance of control | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| it, you must emerge from out of whatever problem you may find yourself in at the moment | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| and the more you will realize that no problem is without a solution. Salvation, my friends, lies | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| problems. When you look at it closely, every problem can finally be brought down to the simple | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| toward life. That is why you have the problem, and as long as this attitude prevails, the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| as long as this attitude prevails, the particular problem must remain. You cannot cope with certain life | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| are self-perpetuating. At the same time, in their problem areas people respond to life in a totally | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| other to me and the other in the problem areas. It will then be easier to give | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| from your wakeful consciousness -- that is your problem. The more the live center is unrealistically and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| friends have a more difficult time resolving this problem than those who overtly and obviously demonstrate that | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| then, of course, there is always the main problem, the area in your psyche where the fear | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| while before one can return to the fundamental problem. Be blessed, every one of you. Receive this | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| within you everything you need to solve any problem you have regardless of what it is -- | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| must be cultivated. The awareness that your immediate problem can be solved -- that you have within | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| cannot see the common denominator and therefore the problem which you are still reluctant to face, perhaps | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| recommend would be this: Yes, I have a problem here. It is very possible that my still-existing | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| other words, practically everything you encounter, every human problem, is shaped by this dualism. The unified principle | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| Life on the dualistic plane is a continuous problem. You have to struggle with the arbitrary, illusory | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| me demonstrate this in a familiar everyday human problem, so that you can understand these words more | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| directed to this eventuality. This approach to a problem immediately opens the way to rise to the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| only because of your dualistic approach to the problem and your prevalent ignorance that there is another | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| them. This can be ascertained in any individual problem once it is thoroughly understood. This point is | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| daily disharmonies and disturbances arise. The most insignificant problem can show you how you embrace error and | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| not seek an intelligent solution to a particular problem. But when you find all the doors closed | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| You can test this right now. Take any problem you are working on, be it an outer | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| you are working on, be it an outer problem you wish changed, or an inner condition you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| an outer situation, it indicates a corresponding inner problem. Since there is no mystery about this, there | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| How can a person who has a great problem with those manipulated feelings differentiate between the false | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| your life. Now you are coping with the problem of how to get out of this condition | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| destructiveness must be better understood. The whole human problem of a dualistic concept of life has a | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the pleasure attached to the unpleasure of the problem. This must be a distinct realization. Since the | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| When you find the parallel between the outer problem and the pleasure current in your sexuality, you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| is essential for the elimination of the outer problem. Your inability to feel the pleasure in the | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| conditions can be experienced and gradually altered. Every problem must have such a nucleus, where the original | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| after which it will no longer be a problem to abandon destructiveness. For one cannot succeed by | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| is problematic, envy exists. Wherever there is no problem, they are free from it. Envy gives rise | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| measuring yourself against others, you will have no problem whatsoever. You will be free to unblock and | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| bothers you, for otherwise there could be no problem or disharmonious feeling in you. It would be | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| you. If one attempts to solve such a problem in an attitude of finding either the one | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| come when the unconscious interaction of one's inner problem affecting the other person's inner problem is seen | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| one's inner problem affecting the other person's inner problem is seen as interacting vicious circles. When you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| do not find the way to resolve the problem and find the clear truth. Therefore, I suggest | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| increases, and the vicious circle continues. The evolutionary problem for every single conscious being is therefore to | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| comes on the path toward liberation when the problem must be tackled from both ends: Only when | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| similar results and stemming from the same underlying problem. The wrong attitude about frustration is harmful for | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| only the symptom, never the root of the problem. When the real reasons for self-dislike are removed | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |

| for granted and not even recognized as a problem. Then it is recognized as an obstacle that | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| of limitation. Then you become aware of the problem. When you decide to do something about it | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| to grope for a deeper understanding of the problem, seeing its origin and its effects, facing the | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| is, to a large degree, connected with the problem of dealing with others and of facing up | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| of only one of us is right. A problem in the other automatically seems to whitewash this | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| either one of you may have a deep problem, but that does not eliminate the importance of | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| eliminate the importance of the possibly much lesser problem of the other one. The more developed one | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| to assume self-responsibility by looking at your own problem in the relationship and by a willingness to | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| never really understand the mutual interaction, how one problem affects the other. The relationship must then deteriorate | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| person to cope? As a victim, your first problem is that you are not even aware of | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| in the maze of their own disconnectedness. The problem is that the very mind at your disposal | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| half done. Meditation must deal with the entire problem of unconscious negativity step by step. The interaction | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| may disguise rage; depression may disguise fear. The problem is that fear creates more fear of facing | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| Human beings are continually confronted with the deep problem of how to handle the destructive forces residing | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| destructive forces residing within themselves and others. This problem seems unending, for ever since the beginning of | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| is that you are trying to solve this problem within the system of duality. You conceive of | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| in duality you are unable to solve the problem. You begin to negate, deny, evade, repress whatever | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| less able to solve this, or any other problem. The pathwork is, of course, primarily concerned with | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| and makes you a more integrated person. The problem that still remains for all of you, however | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| to find a way to deal with this problem that can avoid either one of these pitfalls | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| that way. If this fear is ignored, the problem becomes worse. Our aim on this path is | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| sure that regardless of the outer circumstances, the problem arises from denial and fear of your own | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| accept, and properly understand the universality of this problem of yours. Thus, after diligent work, many of | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| all- important distinction. Usually human beings approach this problem in precisely the opposite way. They believe that | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| Disconnectedness from one's inner voice is the primary problem. Any work concerned with genuine self-search and development | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| to themselves. They deplore a certain situation or problem but fail to state clearly that they wish | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| they wish to resolve it. The greater the problem, the less clear is the awareness that there | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| clear is the awareness that there is a problem. I suggest that you ask yourself, preferably on | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| believe you ardently desire. Another aspect of the problem is unawareness of your actual state, that your | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| person. Wherever you have a conflict or a problem in your life which seems difficult to resolve | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
