| In other words, you unconsciously seek the wrong remedy. For the lack of self-respect -- the proper | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| we have a case of seeking the wrong remedy. For such artificial means, sought in ignorance, will | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| it will cease to be a stimulation. The remedy is in finding the inner fear of letting | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| No outer measure, regardless of how clever, will remedy the world situation until and unless a balance | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| this. But your further misconception is that the remedy lies in withdrawing from love altogether. So you | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| this condition continues from generation to generation. The remedy cannot be found by wishing that things were | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| people would learn to practice mature love. The remedy lies solely in you. True, if you had | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| understanding! The most frequent way of attempting to remedy the situation is in your choice of love | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| into situations where your secret aim is to remedy childhood woes. In trying to reproduce the childhood | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| reality and people around you. In order to remedy the situation, you should not forcefully concentrate during | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| this type of person. I say again, the remedy lies in finding one's own obstructions and divisions | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| particularly resent the same thing in others. The remedy, therefore, lies in finding that in you which | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| negative result is the only medicine, the only remedy you need to change the underlying incorrect attitude | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| something that is unreal as a reality, the remedy is not in talking yourself out of it | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| between your words and your feelings. Again, the remedy is not to use self-discipline to stop this | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| your life. You have a wonderful opportunity to remedy this very unfortunate mistake that infects the entire | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| But the image also always contains the supposed remedy for the hurt. Since the image is unreal | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |

| bound to be detrimental, the psyche seeks a remedy. Such unconsciously sought remedies are often more destructive | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
