| occurs before you are aware of what the recognition actually is. The formulation of your feelings into | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| shocking, but not necessarily. The first glimmer of recognition is often already a relief. Even if at | 41 IMAGES: THE DAMAGE THEY DO |
| to learn and develop. A wealth of further recognition must come to you that will cancel out | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| against authority will automatically diminish. And after such recognition, you will not mind half as much the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| made a further step in self-knowledge, but the recognition -- even though by no means flattering or | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| happens when a true thought, teaching, philosophy or recognition serves as a camouflage behind which you continue | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| trap. You may even hide behind a true recognition about yourself, let us say an image, a | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| hide behind a different truth, behind a different recognition, yet you also may hide just as much | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| I will gladly answer this question. Once the recognition has been made that unconsciously one is a | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| the foundation for change is laid. Without this recognition, nothing can be changed. The next step is | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| Merely acknowledge it, and pray for guidance and recognition. Then, gradually, your emotions will find the right | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| a resistance, found a truth or made a recognition, even an unpleasant one -- or rather exactly | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| wrong conclusions will lead you finally to the recognition of their common denominator: The constructive attitude is | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| The first is the tendency to dismiss a recognition of something within yourself because -- on a | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| Therefore, you need to continue working with the recognition. You have to discover it afresh, as though | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| already. If diligent search confronts you with a recognition you already know, treat it as though you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| terms of either/or. If you are what the recognition shows you to be, you believe the outer | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| more and more wrong conclusions. Each act of recognition will help you further to break your personal | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| but the motive will have changed through the recognition, even though you are still incapable of having | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| in your intellect, to begin with. Prayer for recognition is important. When you pray, observe how sincerely | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| the answer. You may dutifully pray for the recognition of your misconceptions, but inside there is a | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| the breaking-point, which alone will bring you the recognition that you are not a victim; that you | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| to start with in cultivating your own inner recognition. Words are always insufficient. How much more so | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| no one but you prohibits the fulfillment. This recognition will be healthy and will help you avoid | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| can possibly adopt. After you have made a recognition of importance, beware of the attitude of believing | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| that growth occurs slowly. Use and cherish the recognition and wait for your emotions to mature. By | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| you. I assure you that if a negative recognition about yourself depresses you, there must be something | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| to be shifted from the significance of the recognition itself to your attitude to negative findings in | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| have the proper attitude, the more disadvantageous the recognition, the more relief and liberation it will cause | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| at first, even after you have made your recognition. But your inner motives will change. In some | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| the painful occurrence gives you an important new recognition about your soul, freeing you forevermore of some | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| chains of ignorance and darkness. The moment this recognition is reached the pain ceases, even though the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| that has caused you acute pain before the recognition now becomes a source of joy. And here | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| be painful -- until finally the moment of recognition and joy occurs at the same time as | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| true. The more often you succeed in such recognition, the nearer you are to the solution of | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| in woman. This will be a very useful recognition. Man's cycle changes according to the individual. It | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| do so because of a must, but the recognition should grow in you that love and truth | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and the unpleasantness became predominant. Then came the recognition that the solution proved to be false and | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| selfishness is still there, in spite of the recognition of your negative motives, you are not fully | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| action. The best deed is very often a recognition of deeply hidden trends in one's own soul | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and therefore have less effect. By such honest recognition, you truly combine the deed with the prayer | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| You will be able to embrace in joyful recognition even what you may have felt guilty about | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| summer. The first step, as always, is the recognition of what is amiss. Recognize your uncontrolled thoughts | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| from life's occasional storms. For even a basic recognition arrived at in the short time you have | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| of the inner world of illusion. Even that recognition does not suffice to bring about an immediate | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| no mishap can come that person's way. For recognition and change are not the same thing, although | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| so that it takes considerable time and constant recognition of these reactions before a new habit pattern | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| taking place by virtue of the constant honest recognition of childish emotions. This is such a healthy | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| worst in you. What exactly is that? The recognition will be less painful and much more liberating | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| on your personality and on your surroundings. Full recognition of these elements takes time, perseverance, and very | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| still are -- you may glean a momentary recognition of reality, of its totally different quality and | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |

| so on. The first step is always full recognition. That is not as easy as it sounds | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| it sounds. You know how it is with recognition: One may be aware of something, but the | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| signs that your psyche resists such change; the recognition of your fright of such change, and the | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| reactions of the soul-substance in this light. The recognition of the two kinds of rigidity is also | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |

| these feelings may not be linked with the recognition that they are your responses to demands being | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| themselves. If all the benefit contained in the recognition has been derived from it, then this wonderful | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| of aliveness is bound to manifest. That the recognition itself may be very unflattering and disillusioning about | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| will not diminish the great experience once the recognition is complete. On the contrary. This may furnish | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
