| a generous giver, my dear ones. You will realize that when you see that what comes to | 5 HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF OR HAPPINESS AS A LINK IN THE CHAIN OF LIFE |
| productive. For when you look closer, you will realize that the terrible upset, the exaggerated guilt feelings | 7 ASKING FOR HELP AND HELPING OTHERS |
| they may be. Therefore it is important to realize that you can be tempted, and in what | 9 PRAYER AND MEDITATION -- THE LORD'S PRAYER |
| you meditate on this, you will have to realize that the experience in the spirit, the spiritual | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| and feminine incarnations go, you can come to realize that both are right. If you meditate about | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| this. If you think about it, you will realize that it cannot be any other way. The | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |
| touch you then and throw you off. I realize that this is difficult to understand for people | 13 POSITIVE THINKING: THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG KIND |
| anyone of even the most limited intelligence to realize that by giving in to this desire he | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| mask self has been created. They do not realize they are living a lie. They have built | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| to face yourself in this manner when you realize that underneath the layers of your lower self | 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK |
| another sphere of quite a different level. I realize, my friends, this is extremely difficult for you | 15 INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AND THE MATERIAL WORLD |
| uncomfortable. You have much more power than you realize. The willpower that lies enfolded within you is | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| enfolded within you is something you do not realize, my friends. Since willpower is of great importance | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| wait for His answer. Or they do not realize that an answer is actually forthcoming, so they | 16 SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT -- WILLPOWER |
| have overcome the initial resistance. So you must realize that first you have to go to battle | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| not face this and do not want to realize the significance of it you cannot win, and | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| can do. Is that somehow clearer? Yes. I realize this is extremely complicated for any of you | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| much broader scale than any of you can realize. I want to stress that there is no | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| in front of your eyes. You do not realize that often a truth heard too soon can | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| God and in accordance with divine law. I realize that all this is impossible for you to | 20 GOD: THE CREATION |
| this has deeper significance than most of you realize. With that freedom necessarily comes the possibility to | 21 THE FALL |
| in the world of darkness. You must all realize, my friends, that I can give you only | 21 THE FALL |
| accomplishing something -- whatever it may be -- realize that it is only through the grace of | 21 THE FALL |
| Jesus Christ really means. Very few people indeed realize its full significance, least of all the organized | 22 SALVATION |
| more the curtain will lift and you will realize that there is never any cause for sadness | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| time being, it is important for you to realize that you cannot dissolve such a psychological block | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| will not find the truth. But if you realize that, it is much better. It is the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you are still deviating from the right course. Realize at the same time that you cannot do | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the Father and ask Him to help you. Realize that you cannot accomplish the least thing without | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and hard to find. But you need to realize that there must be something in you that | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| slow process of self-development and self-recognition. You may realize that you do not have enough faith, but | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| you must do so with open eyes; therefore realize what you ought to expect and what you | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| already, and even more, my friends! If you realize this, you will not be discouraged when you | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| attained some victories over yourself you will fully realize this truth, but it will take a long | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| to really understand it to its core, will realize what a blessing it is! Then what I | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| you approach this path with only half-open eyes. Realize that there is a price, but the price | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| and this may lead to dangerous misunderstandings. I realize that my description will not really give you | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| by saying this: My dear friend, you must realize one thing. When I spoke about the battle | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| faults, its resentments, its sluggish ways. You must realize that this lower self lives in you strongly | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| cannot change anything without doing so freely. I realize that what will manifest is not my whole | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| come to the point when you can quietly realize these two contradictory currents in you: the one | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| in order to be able to change it. Realize that before your imperfections can change, you have | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| of much greater importance than any of you realize as yet. You mistakenly want to skip this | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| there seems to be a chance to actually realize such happiness, you then shrink away from it | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| generally considered to be faults. You do not realize that your fears cause great harm, not only | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| not more beautiful; but then they may also realize, and rightly so, that this is due to | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| won. If you do not as yet clearly realize the connection, if you perhaps sense or feel | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| not merely the fault itself. You have to realize there is a side in you that does | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| is very important, my friends, for you to realize. You may not think fear a fault, but | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| great. If you fulfill a task, you must realize that it no longer concerns you alone. There | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| self-will. That is the answer. So you will realize that there are few human beings indeed who | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| you think about his views, you will undoubtedly realize that he had some wrong ideas about spiritual | 27 ESCAPE POSSIBLE ALSO ON THE PATH |
| justice of them but also because you will realize how good and how strengthening these hardships were | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| valuable than what you have given up. I realize that you do not know how to go | 28 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD -- DAILY REVIEW |
| the nature of your soul. You do not realize clearly what is going on in you, and | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| each one of you! Yet, you do not realize it. Why? Because you misdirect your power into | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| to get around it. It is uncomfortable to realize and obey the laws of justice, so by | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| active participation in the process. You have to realize that there must be something in you that | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| When you lie to yourself, you do not realize it, not because you cannot, but because you | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |
| means you should find your faults and fully realize their existence, their significance, and their effect on | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| to use it for your purification and to realize its particular force. In a previous lecture I | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| what your basic light is, but also to realize that self-will, pride, and fear exist in you | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| a blind and immature state, too blind to realize that what it desires is against spiritual law | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| into clear and concise words so as to realize, Here I have a desire, coming from my | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| are to others. But do not deceive yourself; realize how far away your emotions still are from | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| Whenever you feel lonely and not understood, please realize that, at least to some degree, the condition | 31 SHAME |
| certain stage of development will you come to realize the truth of these words. There is no | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| must come to the point where you deeply realize their truth. If understanding is still lacking and | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| and not just as an idealized picture. Furthermore, realize your deeper and hidden reasons for needing a | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| and to know what the price is; to realize that you cannot fully have what you want | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| one or more ways in life, you should realize you were not ready to pay a price | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| a grudge because your needs were unfulfilled; instead, realize clearly what your decision has been in this | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| to steal happiness -- or any other result. Realize, please, that when I say that emotionally you | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| from the point of view shown you here. Realize that you must put effort into anything when | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| do it independently, responsibly and maturely, because you realize yourself that everything has a price. To fight | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| ANSWER: It is already of tremendous help to realize that a person to whom you are close | 32 DECISION-MAKING |
| You can do it quicker if you fully realize what this life is all about. When life | 34 PREPARATION FOR REINCARNATION |
| you when you receive selfishly and greedily. I realize that these are old truths you have heard | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| you do not know it. You do not realize that events that appear to you as disagreeable | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| your unceasing efforts. You will then learn to realize, deeply, that your outer problems are nothing else | 36 PRAYER |
| sense. All is one in the end. I realize, my friends, that these are merely words just | 36 PRAYER |
| in the universe. If you could even dimly realize how each of these feelings and emotions drain | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |
| lies. My dear friends, it is important to realize that over the course of a lifetime, usually | 38 IMAGES |
| unconscious is always stronger. The unconscious does not realize that its attitude prohibits the very wish you | 38 IMAGES |
| process. But what they have often failed to realize is that images seldom form in this life | 38 IMAGES |
| You may revolt against unhappiness, yet when you realize that you, not God and the fates, are | 38 IMAGES |
| any given stage of your development. People seldom realize that they must pray to get ahead. Often | 38 IMAGES |
| may consciously know quite well. You may not realize that these same weaknesses exist on a separate | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| quite apart from your outer personality. Once you realize that your inner reactions come from a faulty | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| it is important for you, my friends, to realize that in the deeper layer of your images | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| with all your inappropriate defenses. But if you realize that this feeling of isolation is common to | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| that you are emotionally not there yet. Also realize that secluded happiness is impossible. The separating wall | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| afraid of; it threatens you. You do not realize that by keeping your separating wall you defeat | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| you approach the problem this way, you will realize that in this kind of prayer there is | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| are on a downward curve, you do not realize you are a step higher than the last | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| a feeling of guilt will get you nowhere. Realize that guilt is really the rejection of the | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| guilt. And if you are, you do not realize what the feeling of guilt really means. In | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| error, the wrong conclusion lies in failing to realize that by building these defenses you not only | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| good and logical. Still, you cannot help but realize how faulty your defense mechanism was when you | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| with a fresh new outlook. You will all realize that pain is also relative. Fear of pain | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| Find out about your fear of being hurt. Realize that this causes all your misery. This excessive | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| of your unconscious. It will help also to realize that there is no one among all those | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| you would not be surprised at such reasoning. Realize that and you will overcome your embarrassment. Consider | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| the only one. However, most people do not realize this and keep their images covered. Therefore you | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| winds on a great stormy ocean. You will realize that there is no injustice, and that will | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| have borne fruit, although you cannot always fully realize the value of your work. But some of | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| and harmony. But when they see beauty, they realize that this is a world, a state of | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| you cannot see without anger, you need to realize that this reaction stems from the same origin | 42 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS -- OBJECTIVITY AND SUBJECTIVITY |
| you to feel unjustly treated. You do not realize that the very event that causes you temporary | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| you prove your goodwill, the more you will realize that you have not lived your life in | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| reason-personality type. The emotion-type person needs first to realize that what he or she has been so | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| utterly. If people had the wisdom, they would realize that and make of marriage the marvelous journey | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| be it only in understanding why you cannot realize the happiness that a part of your soul | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| and loveless, raw and animalistic. If people would realize -- and they are beginning to do so | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| then become mature enough in your soul to realize that the price must be paid. That is | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| it is important for you, my friends, to realize that such mass images exist. This realization will | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| a much more important question than you now realize, my dear friends. Authority is the very first | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| It will be easier this way, but please realize that only in rare cases will you find | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| concept by thinking this through. Once you fully realize that there are two different kinds of authority | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| motive. That is the important thing. You will realize that just because you are on the side | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| of more significance and importance than you may realize offhand. I know that it is not only | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| instance, are such recognitions. In your daily self-observation, realize that you cannot change an emotional reaction merely | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| within you. A basic misunderstanding exists here: you realize that the first category, the most primitive form | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| find the wall, we are also supposed to realize that this wall is almost physically present. Is | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| nature can begin to work. But try to realize what it means to be completely conscious. It | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| beings develop from incarnation to incarnation, they finally realize that others consider such feelings bad and wrong | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| and constructive. The hurt you feel when you realize the hurt you have unwittingly inflicted -- unintentional | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| it will give you more strength than you realize. It will foster a healthy and constructive attitude | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| think and react according to the vicious circle; realize that it is hidden. It will be up | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| you freedom and victory. Most of my friends realize that an illogical way of thinking, feeling, and | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| compulsive conscience are irrational, unreal, and impossible to realize, and since you believe, behind your wall of | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| so- called punishment. It is too proud to realize that you simply cannot be perfect yet. It | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| lifting these emotional reactions into consciousness can you realize this. Then you will become aware, point by | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| But you will regard it differently when you realize what I am saying here. Whenever you suffer | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| trying to eliminate your own. You do not realize your error because you see your own case | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| attitude in time. If you truly want to realize this all-important truth, you can protect yourself from | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| the only solution is to turn about and realize that first you must change before you can | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| you must go through the stage where you realize that you cannot be objective in certain areas | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| my opinion is such and such, but I realize it is subjective, and therefore I take it | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| your progress in self-recognition on this path you realize that a certain behavior on your part, being | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| greater influence on your inner growth than you realize. Or it may be another relative or a | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| a subtle way, this is sometimes the case. Realize that the hitherto suppressed wrong concepts and ideas | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| awareness of them in your surface consciousness, but realize that they are false. Formulate the right concept | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| your thinking as quickly as you would like: Realize that your emotions need time to adjust, while | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| you will come to see truth. You will realize that you are not ever a prey to | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| must finally come to the point where they realize that they themselves determine their misery or bliss | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| humanity, which colors one's attitude to life. I realize it is very difficult for you to grasp | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| noble courage for this path of light should realize that every one of your efforts helps us | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| vision and understanding, so that you will fully realize that an advantage to you that at the | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| it will automatically reduce your distorted self-love. I realize this is slippery ground, my friends. Those of | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| so. Again, no rule can be set up. Realize that you are often called upon to make | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| evil, white and black. Decisions can hurt people. Realize that the person who is hurt does not | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| considered just as much as anyone else. I realize that I am a limited human being and | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| stagnation, putrefaction, lifelessness, inertia. It is important to realize that every soul is governed by these three | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| must come to a point when you finally realize that the direction you have taken is wrong | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| yourself in motion. And you may not even realize the necessity for it because in that state | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| It is no contradiction, my friends, although I realize it is extremely difficult for you to understand | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| with only part of your personality. You will realize that no one but you prohibits the fulfillment | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| automatically eliminate a certain degree of self-destructiveness. I realize that those friends who are not active on | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| truly understand what I am saying, you would realize that these impersonal laws are kind and completely | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| impersonally for all alike. If you would but realize the significance of this, the terrible God-image people | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| clearly. Have the further honesty and wisdom to realize that growth occurs slowly. Use and cherish the | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| untruth, that would be fine. But do you realize what truth is at all times? You have | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| problems in an entirely new light. You will realize that many of your difficulties need never exist | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| better. Then a point will come where you realize that your wrong concept is useless and harmful | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| that they are useful or protective. Once you realize that this is not so, you will no | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |

| outer condition. As long as one does not realize the basic facts of the soul, as you | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| outer happenings that heretofore seemed arbitrary. Once you realize how much you fear giving up Utopia in | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| a creativity you never dreamed possible. Once you realize what I say here, once it is your | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| you rather than to enslave you. You will realize that you have nothing to be afraid of | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| true, not in the sense I mean. I realize, my friends, this seems like an utter contradiction | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |

| a greater or lesser extent. The sooner you realize the inevitability of deviation from truth anywhere on | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| properly. You can understand this only if you realize that one life is but a small part | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| its significance, its origin, and so you will realize its very temporary effect. Actually, error, or sin | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| feel the effect of all this. ANSWER: I realize that the answer to this question is not | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |
| If the infant in you matures, you inevitably realize that you are your own master, that you | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |

| standardize, which has more far-reaching effects than you realize. It also affects your own psyche by suppressing | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| say that your mind is wandering, you hardly realize the significance of this statement and the effect | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| levels, is much more important than you now realize. It is a mistake to separate this approach | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| as you learn from it, understand its reason; realize how you have brought it about, no matter | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| up this wrong way of searching, you would realize that the real you can be loved and | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| it soon, will find it very useful to realize what is behind it all. The compulsion to | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| -- and that is good. You will then realize that your fight for approval, to prove something | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| will contribute greatly toward your fulfillment. You will realize that it is not you who are too | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| from receiving what you should. Moreover, you will realize that your fight is completely useless. Nothing that | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| the value of the latter, but does not realize that you make it impossible to receive the | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| the solution of the problem. You will increasingly realize how subjective your emotions are, no matter how | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your shortcomings and various weaknesses. You do not realize that with these very weaknesses you inadvertently hurt | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| affects others more strongly than you can possibly realize. It is easy to see that the effect | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a much stronger degree than you can possibly realize now, you are bound gradually to change these | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| elements and attitudes, slowly but surely. You will realize that you can never receive the exclusive, unreasonable | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| alive may be behind the ritual. They would realize this if they were but willing to think | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to the particular ways of the other, and realize that it is unnecessary to mold the person | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| too numerous to discuss at this point. To realize how you create unreality, you must begin by | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| to a large degree, that they do not realize where they are in unreality. But then, people | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| you are much more valuable than you can realize at the moment, provided you do them in | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| of things to do that are more important. Realize the preposterous illusion of that emotion. By observing | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| you, you can reason with it. You will realize that this misconception of love has nothing whatever | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| no longer be afraid to love. When you realize that love does not mean giving up dignity | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| you withdraw altogether. With growing maturity you will realize that you can only reach the final fulfillment | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| a stronghold and security such as you cannot realize even now after all your progress. Again I | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| forcing the subconscious, instead of allowing us to realize what is in it. I am sure it | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| expression of your inner will. While you may realize perfectly well that certain of your emotions cannot | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| shift the responsibility to the rule. When you realize that there is no such thing as a | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| Once you can synchronize these two pains and realize that they are one and the same, the | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
