| As a matter of fact, much of the resistance you encounter in yourself and your companions is | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| patience as well as an inner overcoming of resistance. I do not talk about an occasional vague | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| hopefully will help you further to understand this resistance. In order to deal with this bottleneck, the | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it. My friends, let this sink in: Your resistance to giving up what you hate most in | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| not resist evil points to the fact that resistance itself is, and breeds, evil. Unobstructed energy flows | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| smoothly and harmoniously, like a gentle river. When resistance stops the movement of the energy current, its | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and its form condenses, clogging up the channels. Resistance tightens and thus coarsens the energy. It holds | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| negative intentionality. No evil attitude can manifest unless resistance to good is also taking place. Conversely, wherever | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| also taking place. Conversely, wherever life flows without resistance, it must be harmonious, blissful, and creative. The | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| a highly disunified state, is the result of resistance. Matter is thickened, coarsened, slowed-down energy. Existence in | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| blinds true vision and is therefore unavoidably painful. Resistance, matter, blindness, spells dualism, separation, evil, and suffering | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| suffering -- these are one and the same. Resistance stems the flow, closing up; it prevents the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| ongoing movement of life unfolding as divine manifestation. Resistance is always obstructing some valuable, beautiful aspect of | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| always obstructing some valuable, beautiful aspect of creation. Resistance is therefore a manifestation of evil. When you | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| yourself, you will relatively easily perceive your own resistance. Others always can see it in you unless | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| not the case, they are aware of your resistance. You, too, can be aware of it if | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| to be. You will then see what this resistance means. The word resistance is used again and | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| then see what this resistance means. The word resistance is used again and again in psychological terminology | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| negative intentionality, you can link it with your resistance. Resistance always says in one way or another | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| intentionality, you can link it with your resistance. Resistance always says in one way or another, I | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| of these three attitudes is a result of resistance and breeds more resistance, or evil. Self-will says | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| is a result of resistance and breeds more resistance, or evil. Self-will says, I resist any other | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| divine aspects are hindered from manifestation. Pride is resistance to the oneness between entities. It separates itself | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| who resists humility must be humiliated because the resistance must always finally come to a breaking point | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| exists is due to pride. This pride causes resistance as much as it results from resistance. Similarly | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| causes resistance as much as it results from resistance. Similarly, resistance breeds fear, and fear breeds resistance | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| as much as it results from resistance. Similarly, resistance breeds fear, and fear breeds resistance. The tightened | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| resistance. Similarly, resistance breeds fear, and fear breeds resistance. The tightened state of resistance and the slowing | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and fear breeds resistance. The tightened state of resistance and the slowing of the energy movement darken | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| experience. Life is perceived as frightening. The more resistance, the more fear -- and vice versa. Resistance | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| resistance, the more fear -- and vice versa. Resistance to truth arises from the fear that truth | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| that truth can be harmful, and in turn, resistance to truth compounds this fear. The hiding becomes | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| forever more threatening. Fear of truth -- hence resistance -- negates the benign quality of the universe | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| thoughts, feelings, and intents. This self-negation, rooted in resistance is, and creates, evil. When you want to | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and your hidden thoughts and intentions, you create resistance. Resistance is, in one way or another, always | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| your hidden thoughts and intentions, you create resistance. Resistance is, in one way or another, always connected | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| whether this hurt is actual or imagined. The resistance may be linked to self-will that says, I | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| If I am hurt I must perish. The resistance expresses distrust of the universe. In reality, hurt | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| moving energy, which creates joy and bliss. Whether resistance comes from self-will, pride, or fear, whether it | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and negation of what is, does not matter. Resistance obstructs God, the flow of life. It creates | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| also exist in you distortion, blindness, ill will, resistance, evil. The human being who is in a | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| toward good is sufficiently strong, and yet the resistance continues to block the movement of the whole | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| facing and accepting the evil in you. This resistance creates a tremendous accumulation of energy, which finally | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and accept crises, which remove more and more resistance. Do not resist evil in you. By that | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| accept it, the less you will feel it. Resistance to pain often makes it unbearable. The more | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| venture forth step by step, overcoming the inherent resistance to transcend this separated state, do you find | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |

| of life that results from it. Underneath the resistance to face the lower self is the pain | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
