| all, you will have to understand better the reason for your self- dramatization. Once you understand that | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| it will be extremely useful to analyze the reason for your own frustration and impatience. It may | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| change it, regardless of your physical age. Another reason for resorting to this unsuccessful pseudo-solution is the | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| you really felt. This then became an additional reason for you to hinder self-expression. Consequently, as you | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |

| seen doctors and they don't find any physical reason. ANSWER: This condition applies to many people, indeed | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as long as you do not find the reason for them. Once you have found their existence | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| all this reaches consciousness, that there is no reason to feel contempt for one's healthy needs. You | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| healthy needs. You will see that the real reason for self-contempt is your inner unwillingness to relinquish | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| In this case, too, there is an underlying reason missing. You have to accept that this distortion | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| you are no longer aware of the real reason why you feel so unhappy. Before you choose | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| constantly scream and fight where there is no reason to do so? What makes you believe that | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| your bidding. You put your strength, resourcefulness and reason outside yourself, and direct them at others rather | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| you will express all the benign forces -- reason, love, understanding, insight, strength, resourcefulness, resiliency, flexibility, adaptability | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| the real self whose nature is reality and reason. Moreover, the pseudo-solutions and the idealized self are | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| highly developed people are struggling, disharmonious, unhappy. The reason, my friends, is that the former develop steadily | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| you more highly developed souls are employing a reason I am not capable of, because unless we | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| good for everyone. As to different kinds of reason, there is only one reason. There are not | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| different kinds of reason, there is only one reason. There are not several kinds. Again it is | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| beings, still in the human struggle, have their reason impaired. Their intelligence may not be impaired, but | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| Their intelligence may not be impaired, but their reason is. Reason comes from the real self, so | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| may not be impaired, but their reason is. Reason comes from the real self, so to the | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| the degree of their self-alienation, to that degree reason does not function. The real self is pure | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| does not function. The real self is pure reason and pure love. You might also call it | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| not thinkable without the other. There cannot be reason, or wisdom, without love, and vice versa. So | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| actively, to bring out all the wondrous strength, reason, love, creativity, resourcefulness, joy, capacity for happiness that | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| there is an urge, there is an inner reason and necessity. QUESTION: You used to give me | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |

| yourself may not be really convinced. Still another reason may be the feeling, vague and hidden, that | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |

| and being on the defensive for no valid reason be ruled out of your life, otherwise the | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| persist in keeping them without any purpose or reason would be senseless. As to your second question | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| in the past. You all know its origin, reason, effects, and side effects. Briefly: pride is always | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| to be recognized. You will now understand the reason why I have been admonishing you to become | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| physical health. That would certainly not be sufficient reason to call it a sin. There are many | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| you will eventually turn inward and seek the reason for your unfulfillment. However, there are many wrong | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| it, but out of fear or any other reason do not execute the sinful act, does this | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| of the wish itself, but because of the reason that necessitated hiding it. Such unawareness, that once | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |

| if you are unaware of it. (2) Another reason why willpower or wish capacity becomes unproductive is | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| will also nursed by experience and judgment? The reason why I ask is because when talking about | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |

| just explained, you deceive yourself about the real reason for your unhappiness. You use a false reason | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |

| the conscious urgent need, they will find a reason for prohibiting their real feelings for affection and | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| rebel against. That too, of course, is one reason, but there is also another. You resent the | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| of right or wrong. There was a good reason for this. The most difficult thing for a | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| accept and to forgive yourself. For that very reason we remained for a considerable time in what | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| for them. Your belief is often an unconscious reason for not facing the guilt. One can make | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| God. ANSWER: As I have repeatedly said, the reason for that is that people invariably use God | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| on self and others, of its force, its reason for existence. You may be aware of overambition | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |

| of your own inner struggle, your intuition, your reason, even if the result be the same. If | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |

| is the nature of the karmic link, the reason and the necessity of choice. You had to | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |

| grows capable of dissolving destructive, childish trends through reason and the power to understand, so will humankind | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| with brute force because you can rely on reason and fairness, rather than on power. But to | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |

| his aggressive tendencies -- and asserting himself where reason indicates that to do so is detrimental. In | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| an imbalance has to be recognized and the reason found. Even where all these various partnership needs | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| begin to evaluate the situation in relation to reason, justice, and fairness. A large step will be | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| govern you without your being able, through your reason, to change it. Hence it is of utmost | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| often and in so many different forms? My reason for doing so is that none of you | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| When you do, you will have found a reason for the existence of the no- current which | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| call it into existence become conscious, and your reason and intelligence can examine their validity. Therefore, it | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| want it or fears it or, for one reason or another, says no to it? (4) If | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| you want, what your obstruction is, and the reason for your no-current has a therapeutic value beyond | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| being struggles against this truth often more than reason warrants. In all sorts of obvious or subtle | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| of obvious or subtle ways, you seek the reason for your life circumstances outside yourself. Many of | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| all obstacles and division within the self. The reason for this in your case is that by | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| to come out of it. This is the reason: You fear that if you do not say | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| freedom of choice, rather than on compulsion; on reason, rather than emotionalism. When the overall development is | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| you will have, so that you have more reason to trust, and a benign cycle is established | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| wrong conclusion. But there is a very distinct reason that you feel threatened and truly endangered without | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| of life and others grow. Through such awareness, reason, vision and freedom of choice, commitment is not | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| it. ANSWER: You see, this is precisely the reason you feel unfulfilled in the important areas of | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| by realizing the truth that there is no reason to fear, then it is not necessary to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| incarnated in this sphere? ANSWER: That is one reason for drawing souls into this particular sphere of | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| within, you will find a deep harmony and reason to trust your innermost self. The creative forces | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| and beauty exists in you. For some strange reason, you fight against admitting it. As long as | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| after close examination reveals its nature and the reason of its coming into existence, people still act | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| that part in you which you have every reason to trust. This, my friends, is a very | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |

| do not see that their outlook is the reason for their good luck or bad luck, for | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| generally and vaguely touched upon, for the simple reason that none of my friends were quite ready | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| unfolds. The ego-faculties will help in the process; reason and intelligence will adjust imbalances and deviation from | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| adjust imbalances and deviation from reality. But when reason is used to deny the depth, scope and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| desires, because you do not yet understand the reason for their existence, merely knowing that you have | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| not wanting to be in truth. For one reason or another, you believe that not being in | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| exists, it is still misinterpreted for yet another reason. When freedom, mastery, unification, and the resulting bliss | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| within yourself, can you fulfill your destiny, your reason for existing. Whatever else you accomplish serves only | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| into a better human being for no other reason than a desire to contribute to life, rather | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| faults, the next step is to understand the reason for their existence, and why you cling to | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| Total pleasure is feared for a very important reason: the pleasure supreme of the cosmic energy current | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| you distrust yourself on some level for any reason -- right or wrong -- how can you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| against life itself. This is the most profound reason for your misconceptions, false fears and guilts, negativity | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| oneself grows in proportion. Many times the real reason for self-dislike is, at least partly, the cowardice | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| This cuts you off from the life-stream. The reason for cultivating this destructive attitude is in part | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| is sheer folly, my friends. All you have reason to distrust is your fear of yourself, which | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| no sense, if there is no rhyme or reason, if there is no evolution and continuum of | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| difficult -- honest self-facing. QUESTION: What is the reason, and who bears the responsibility for the inability | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| to reactivate your feelings with the help of reason, through realistic and rational evaluation of the circumstances | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| fight against too tight an ego control where reason and will crowd out the involuntary processes. My | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| unfulfilled. You do not search within for the reason of the unfulfillment. You do not see your | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| side of you that says no, for whatever reason. Then look for the side that blames others | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| Let us come, my friends, to the fundamental reason why you fear the healthy, blissful state in | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| held in check only by the power to reason, to use the mind, and by the willpower | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| now manifests in a destructive way. So, when reason and will erect a barricade around the realm | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |

| a long time, in the history of evolution, reason and will have seemed to be the saving | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| in precisely this stage. They have sufficiently developed reason and will to keep the realm of feelings | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| go on and on overdeveloping their faculties of reason and will, so that their personalities become lopsided | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| they become conscious, is unfounded. The faculties of reason and will are intact in everyone on this | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| ulterior motive. So your fear of possessing insufficient reason and will to control the feeling world proves | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| come to the surface, they dominate. Will and reason are underdeveloped and therefore cannot stem the flood | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| destructive emotions. Humans must spend many lifetimes training reason and will. Only when these faculties have been | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| built-in safety measure of the path. Even if reason and will still have weak spots, they are | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| so powerful that all of you are using reason and will to deny your feelings' existence. You | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| of honest self-confrontation. Now, using your will and reason for honest and humble self-confrontation, you can safely | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| in being completely controlled by emotions: Will and reason are still too frail to enter into the | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| the process of living. For today's human, whose reason and will generally are overgrown and whose emotional | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| or not you are aware of the connection. Reason and will by themselves can never bring aliveness | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| is why people who are most dominated by reason and will and have their feelings most controlled | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| danger of being forced into actions against your reason and will is truly an illusion in the | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| way. The mind is so trained in overusing reason that you think you need a reason to | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| overusing reason that you think you need a reason to feel a certain way. Thus, your real | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| escape you. Since you fear feelings and see reason as the saving measure, you concoct reasons for | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| having either to act on it or to reason it out. Then you will experience a wonderful | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| or her true self than the one whose reason and will function sufficiently to hide the inner | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| to make a vital decision: to bring your reason to bear on the entire question of whether | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| give yourself the chance to do so. Your reason will also tell you, once you think about | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| Why can you find it only indirectly? The reason is that you have anesthetized what once was | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| illusions about the self and life. The second reason for self-rejection is imaginary violation, according to illusory | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |

| accept the negatively creating aspects in you. Another reason is that no matter how destructive, cruel, and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| danger of glib judgment. This danger is another reason I waited so long to give this lecture | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| an earlier time in history, there was a reason for such postulates. They were not all that | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |

| inclined to deal with. That is the very reason you squeezed yourself into this narrow, uncomfortable, confining | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| these narrow aspects must suffer when the total reason for being in the human ego state is | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| where any seed will grow to fruition. The reason for this reluctance is very simple. It is | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |

| all have been in situations when suddenly without reason a mood has changed from sunny to rainy | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| you can pin this fluctuation on some outer reason. At the same time, it leads you more | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| to energize the numbed matter in you. The reason for this reluctance is that it is not | 214 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS |

| of anesthesia sets in. There is a specific reason for this. You awaken from it, as you | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| In the case of the incarnatory process, the reason is different. Before the spiritual self takes possession | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |

| according to this concept, there would be good reason to discard it. If faith were a gullible | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| truly question yourself with all the logic and reason at the disposal of your mind, you will | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| leap to truth and love as the ultimate reason for being in your own life. When you | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| life ends, that nothing has any rhyme or reason, because then nothing matters anyway. So faith in | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| do not want to know -- for whatever reason -- then your doubt is dishonest. This wrong | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
