| will with all its conflicting currents, the desired result will not be realized. The inner will comes | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| because part of the motivation for the desired result may be so immature and truly selfish as | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| the inner will. You may desire a certain result with all your might, but in a confused | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| not. But how lasting and how satisfying the result is will depend on the presence of the | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| taste of dissatisfaction and even frustration, whereas the result brought about by the inner will is always | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| whole. I do not mean that the desired result manifests immediately. But I would like to add | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| betray yourself by a weakness that is the result of a wrong conclusion. By betraying yourself -- | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| desired: exclusive love, approval, and acceptance. A further result of this confusion is that the rejecter seems | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| cannot trust anyone else. That is the natural result, a further chain reaction. If you do not | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |

| Needless to say, the opposite effect is the result: they are bound to antagonize people so that | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |

| to see while the eye symbolizes the end result. Some time ago, I mentioned the contagiousness of | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| persevere. You will then see that the negative result is the only medicine, the only remedy you | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| misconception or conflict exists in you, vicious circles result. They snowball. They become bigger and bigger so | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| evasion, you create conflicts and wrong attitudes which result in bringing more misery than you would have | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I present to you can have such a result. If people are unwilling to apply it personally | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| With such honest self-appraisal, proper decisions must finally result, and lead to ability, creativity and healthy strength | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| be brought into harmony, pain and suffering must result. But once this battle is successfully concluded, the | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your motivations are to a large extent the result of pretense. This does not only refer to | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| if this attitude could bring you the desired result -- which, of course, it cannot -- it | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| after this has been accomplished. Compulsion is a result of artificially accelerated emotions, desires and ambitions. The | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and ambitions. The artificiality, in turn, is the result of pretense. The pretense is a result of | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the result of pretense. The pretense is a result of a mistaken view of cause and effect | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| inherent capacities. The very impatience that is a result of the inner processes described before is a | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your love is rejected and that, as a result, you are worth nothing. You will understand that | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| you blame for the situation are the natural result of your inner state which you have brought | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| submit to get your need fulfilled. As a result, you may have an opposite outer reaction of | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| that healthy mutuality is the essence and natural result that automatically comes when one frees the soul | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| of action and reaction responsible for this confusing result. Religion symbolizes the struggle between opposites as the | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| you know it on earth. This is the result of your inability to come to terms with | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| degree even on earth. They are a direct result of the inner duality, which in turn comes | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| and sociological factors, which again are themselves a result of the inner duality, necessitate a struggle for | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| you run from it. Both have the same result, namely, negation. QUESTION: What is your attitude toward | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| has been lived. Since the duality is a result of negation, one can only find the way | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| negation and evasion. If belief in the end result is artificially clung to, it has the very | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| emphasis? ANSWER: Let us not confuse the end result with the process of arriving at it. Many | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| philosophies have taught this truth. But the end result has been used to avoid facing that which | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| due to an inclination to arrive at the result through shortcuts in order to avoid the unpleasantness | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| there is no death and misuses them. The result is superimposed faith that is embraced out of | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| existence of the underlying current, which determines the result. But when you are truthful with yourself, you | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| and the inner knowledge of spiritual truth all result from inner health. At the same time, the | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| coping with life, which is, of course, the result of not knowing how to cope with death | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| established through the idealized self is artificial, the result cannot possibly be what was expected. Actually, the | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| are connected with it? A further and drastic result of this problem is the constantly increasing estrangement | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| question: Who am I really? This is the result of the discrepancy and struggle between the real | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| these outer problems are directly or indirectly the result of the discrepancy between your capacities and the | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| fault with others, and so on. As a result, one is not as good as one ought | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |
| healthy self- respect that comes naturally as a result of removing errors, you inwardly and subtly try | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| find where this is not so. As a result you will make a very substantial contribution toward | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| why you act in certain ways as a result. Even if a person predominantly uses only one | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| should be the next step, not the end result. The near goal would be, I want to | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| invulnerability, nothing can happen to me. As a result, I will not be threatened by the dangers | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| quest for serenity, is secondary. It is the result of the previous two solutions fighting one another | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| not realize that strain, tiredness, and vague anxiety result from repressed emotions. Mostly, they are unaware of | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| Babel. It symbolizes your inner world and the result of it in the outer world: difficulty of | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| contradiction. Truth is objective. Artistic truth is the result of the truthfulness of a person. If one | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| overwhelming existence of truthfulness will produce an overwhelming result of artistic truthfulness. QUESTION: What is the best | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| most and best you can be, is the result of such cowardly evasion, such a wrong solution | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| makes life rich and rewarding. In addition, the result is that your intuitive powers are dulled together | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| altogether. You not only hinder excesses as a result of this reasoning, but you also hinder all | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| that you repeat over and over again. The result of all this seems to confirm your pseudo-solution | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| caused you actual pain, or produced an undesired result when you expressed them. You lost something you | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| the expression of the negative produced an undesirable result. You might say that because the latter is | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |

| impossible standards of yourself, moralizing is a necessary result. I wish to show you how such moralizing | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| not represent a shortcut. They are not the result of avoiding life and still desiring development and | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| feeling. In other words, is the peace a result of an unhealthy passivity? Does it contain elements | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| addition, such an experience is almost always the result of serious efforts in the right direction, and | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| almost unknowingly, as it were. This is the result of long struggle, but if you do not | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| similar situation is bound to bring a similar result. Thus, what was once reality now turns into | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| is lacking in you. Your submissiveness is the result of your repressed needs and of your denial | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |

| QUESTION: You said some time ago that the result of the defense mechanism can be determined by | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |

| in repressing these emotions, but only with the result that they will emerge in the most devastating | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
