| that goes way beyond what is warranted in reality. Therefore the soul suffers more from an impression | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| preoccupation with the experience excludes important aspects of reality. One sees and evaluates only that part of | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| One sees and evaluates only that part of reality which appears to bother or disturb; other aspects | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| to such a degree that your perception of reality is narrowly limited. Often, people have both kinds | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |

| you live in reality. You cannot live in reality when you strain into the future, because such | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| Therefore you do not experience the future in reality, but only in fantasy. Likewise, if you pull | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| fantasy, live in fantasy, and not in the reality of the now. One of the characteristics of | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| of the now. One of the characteristics of reality is its constant state of flux; it is | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| colorings, stemming from your desires and fears, distort reality, blind you to factors that existed or will | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| In order to live in the now, in reality, you have to have a keen sense of | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| to have a keen sense of your own reality. All too often you lack this. In fact | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| fact, most people do not experience themselves in reality. This happens mostly through a subtle process. It | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| you do have a sense of your own reality; however, upon closer examination of certain symptoms, you | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| fear-producing. It never diminishes the now, nor the reality of living, regardless of what beliefs one holds | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| Quite the opposite. Those who never experience the reality of their mortality are morbidly afraid of death | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| to others. Therefore your sense of your own reality becomes dependent on others. You live through others | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| the weak ego of the child is in reality dependent. The mature adult is no more dependent | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| Therefore you have no sense of your own reality, and cannot experience each living moment in its | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| feel you have no reality other than the reality accorded to you by others. The more you | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| For each living moment, fully experienced in the reality of the now, will then yield adventure, peaceful | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| make allowance for. QUESTION: Would the acceptance of reality be a prerequisite for love? ANSWER: Yes, indeed | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| it works both ways: If you can accept reality, you are surely more capable of loving. And | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| you simultaneously become much better equipped to accept reality. Your resistance to accept what seems to you | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| resistance to accept what seems to you unpleasant reality is the same energy-current that, if released, is | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| perception means not being in, or not seeing, reality. Warm, outgoing feelings of affection, concern, understanding are | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| they simultaneously lead to an increase in perceiving reality in an ever-widening circle in width and depth | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the most important aspects of faulty perception of reality is the belief that one may be quite | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| perception surely shows how limited your view of reality is. The connection and interdependence has to be | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| and does not need to be proven. This reality can be experienced only if all that stands | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| and confusions, your erroneous conclusions blot out this reality. In the last analysis, all unhappiness and strife | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| you uncover is always a distortion of higher reality. When you are governed by such distortions of | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| governed by such distortions of your immediate, accessible reality, you cannot possibly grasp the extension of your | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| cannot possibly grasp the extension of your limited reality on a wide scope. But the spiritual reality | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |

| personal experience within, does not contradict the accessible reality if the latter is profoundly penetrated. For such | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |

| are concerned, can you come to terms with reality and trust your ability to do so. When | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| then fear makes you believe that the final reality is not to be trusted. Cosmic reality is | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
