| terrified of not attaining it. Therefore they rush right into the negation of what they long for | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |

| the same token, the enemies of materialism are right when they reject the materialistic point of view | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| misery is of therapeutic value. Here again, a right combination of healthy activity and passivity is needed | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| and fear. Only then will you learn the right attitude toward life and death. See how you | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |

| How can one find out which is the right feeling? ANSWER: I should think it not too | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |

| one is on one's own, what is the right way to handle these emotions at the moment | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| so powerful or dangerous? ANSWER: Yes, that is right. But they need not be dangerous, if you | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| be conscious of it. As long as your right conduct is motivated by stringent self-moralizing, based on | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| when you find yourself not knowing what is right. However, if you cannot accept yourself as a | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| handle confusions and the desire to do the right thing. This would produce only a forced, insincere | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| expectations. They make the world seem good and right and beautiful. In such childish either/or attitudes, this | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| used, for instance in Scripture, as doing the right thing and being good. But in more recent | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| You now believe that you should abstain from right actions. This is not so. What you should | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| everything is experienced as either good or bad, right or wrong. Because you disapprove of the social | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| Should you then decide to carry out the right act, it will make you feel resentful, rather | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| faults, that you are confused as to the right or wrong course, that you may make a | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| You should go on doing that which is right, while working on the negative aspect until you | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| always the result of serious efforts in the right direction, and these in turn must produce further | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Thus you will approach your progress with the right kind of discipline -- not by attempting perfect | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| up the resistance to face what is usually right in front of you and yet hardest to | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that reveal so much about your problems are right in front of your eyes and you do | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| is a fine distinction between such healthy and right attitude and the idea that you should sit | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| The repeated pattern not only proves the image right, but it also proves that your defenses against | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| you do it. An act can be deemed right by the whole world and in accordance with | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |

| Dare to feel what you feel, regardless of right or wrong, of what you think you should | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| the real self? ANSWER: Yes, you are quite right. But it is not quite the same in | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| much more with effects. But you are quite right in seeing a connection. You see, secondary reactions | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| wanting something that in itself was perfectly all right were governed by superimposed, immature reasons, crutches, rather | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |

| So it is always a question of the right procedure: get to the roots slowly but surely | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |

| if the person is unable to assert his right to live, love, and to have pleasure -- | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |
| the result. The world seems to deny your right of selfhood, and you give in, agreeing with | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |

| not ask yourself at such moments, Is it right? Is there a grain of truth in it | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| Your concern at the moment is, Am I right, or is the other person right? It is | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| Am I right, or is the other person right? It is this limited concept of I-versus-the-other-person that | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| I-versus-the-other-person that befogs the issue of what is right or true. Your defense may often be a | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| on another level, where you can prove yourself right. Your third option is a counterattack, pointing out | 101 THE DEFENSE |

| no longer think and feel in terms of right versus wrong and become thereby capable of experiencing | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| power, for money, for fame, for always being right, or for anything else. The fourth cardinal sin | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| in the Old Testament? ANSWER: Yes, that is right. QUESTION: Does that have anything to do with | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| you strive, and if you strive in the right direction, you will eventually turn inward and seek | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| lethargic state and, perhaps, even get on the right track. A destructive feeling may have a constructive | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| to answer you with a definite statement of right or wrong. It depends on so many circumstances | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| Thus you do not respect the other's integral right not to be receptive to what you wish | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| you become angry at this. You refuse the right of the other to set a boundary which | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| Do not refuse to grant the other the right you wish for yourself. Observe your innermost attitude | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |

| comes from your tendency to regard something as right or wrong, good or bad. So many theories | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| when opposing points of view can be both right and destructive. If your will falls under any | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| what is true, rather than on what is right, the will produces truth and thereby love. In | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| more than adopting a superimposed doctrine, even a right one. I have spoken much about this before | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |

| not learned. You grow to fit into the right stream of the particular degree of resistance you | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| they easily believe that they are on the right road. But when their smoldering inner reality disrupts | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| from outside. Without the knowledge of what is right and good, you unconsciously think that you cannot | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| when you approach it with an attitude of right versus wrong, good versus bad. The mere fact | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| justify, you resist. QUESTION: What then is the right self-discipline? ANSWER: I believe that this lecture, as | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| unbidden, inadvertently, as it were, you had the right attitude. Without it this experience is lost again | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
