EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF Greetings, my dearest friends. May blessings and strength 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
the ego and its relation to the real self. This relation is extremely subtle and difficult to 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
to the ego in relation to the real self. It is true when one says the ego's 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
is due primarily to ignorance about the real self. At best, the more enlightened human beings accept 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
themselves that is infinitely superior to the ego self, they would be given the opportunity, by experimentation 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
for years, formed a concept of the real self, of the creative substance that enlivens every human 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
all your reliance on your limited outer ego self. You neglect to open yourself for the deeper 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
nothing else but your conscious mind, your ego self with its immediately accessible thinking processes and will 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
yourself exclusively with the ego or outer conscious self, when your sense of self is predominantly associated 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
or outer conscious self, when your sense of self is predominantly associated with the ego functions, you 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
way come near, the resourcefulness of the real self, it is inevitable that such people -- and 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
and their sense of life, of living, of self must become very flat and unenjoyable. Substitute pleasures 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
creative, provided you are activated by the real self. Every act is uncreative when you are cut 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
when you are cut off from the real self, no matter how much effort you put into 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
you put into it. In fact, the real self is effortless. Wherever it manifests, effort exists, but 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
a result of cutting off from the real self and remaining in ignorance, living with false ideas 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
sense of being, of existing, a sense of self, exists for so many by identifying only with 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
no human being who has activated his real self and experiences it as a daily reality is 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
faculties and the greater reality of the real self. Therefore, hearing that the ego-faculties, which one considers 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
have experienced the stark reality of the real self, this statement can never be frightening. You then 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
death must exist only when one's sense of self is exclusively attached to the ego self. I 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
of self is exclusively attached to the ego self. I want to add here that an intellectual 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
here that an intellectual acceptance of the real self as a philosophical precept will not alleviate fear 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
of reality and true experience of the real self. This requires more. It requires an actualization of 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
an actualization of the faculties of the real self. This, as you know, necessitates certain very definite 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
truly understood only when one experiences the real self, which reconciles all apparent opposites. Then one sees 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
leave the individual uncertain, insecure, inadequate. The real self, on the other hand, always has answers, always 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
which is neither the ego nor the real self. However, the conscious ego is often blindly driven 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
one pays allegiance only to the active ego self with its consciousness, even then the ego self 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
self with its consciousness, even then the ego self is no more than an obedient agent, whether 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
or whether it is activated by the real self. Hence, it is absolutely essential that you be 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
you now: If you derive your sense of self only from the ego faculties, giving up the 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
and happiness, can exist only when the real self is activated, when you do not identify exclusively 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
you are connected and identified with the real self, with the eternal, creative substance of your being 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
faculties under the direct determination of the outer self. Then happiness is not only possible but is 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
a natural byproduct. You cannot be the real self without being happy, and you cannot be happy 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
are integrated with, and enlivened by, the real self. This is the kind of happiness that knows 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
you enter the realm of the unified real self. How can you embrace fearlessly a state that 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
of letting go. If, again, one's sense of self derives exclusively from the ego, the personality is 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
see the truth and reality of the real self, letting go will not only be without danger 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
harmonious interaction between the ego and the real self. It means knowing the ego's functions, its limitations 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
to say that whenever one fears the real self, one must fear life and death, pleasure and 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
kill the spontaneity and freedom of the real self. This is why feelings can never respond to 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
issued either by other people or by the self. They come about indirectly and seem to have 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
self-realization and to establish contact with the real self. The real self exudes and transmits a vital 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
establish contact with the real self. The real self exudes and transmits a vital flow of energy 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
and death are directly connected, as the real self, pleasure supreme, and life are directly connected. Therefore 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
is to deliberately seek contact with the greater self within. It must know its position. it must 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
seek contact, to request help from the greater self, to establish contact permanently with it. Moreover, the 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
obstructions that lie between it and the greater self. Here, too, its task is limited. The realization 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
realization always comes from within, from the real self, but it comes as a response to the 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
it must step aside and allow the real self to come forth with its intuition and inspiration 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
as of the still more deeply unconscious real self, with all its wonderful creativity and constructiveness. The 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
call upon the unlimited resources of the real self. It must develop a finesse to sense the 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
alert ego and the increasingly more manifest real self, so that it may learn when to be 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
conditions that make a connection with the real self possible. The ego self must be compatible with 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
connection with the real self possible. The ego self must be compatible with the real self. The 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
ego self must be compatible with the real self. The real self transcends the flat laws of 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
be compatible with the real self. The real self transcends the flat laws of outer morality, therefore 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
sign of real, inner morality. However, the real self has extremely exacting standards of real morality, of 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
the extent you are separated from your real self. Be in peace, be blessed, be in God 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF
that really counts, which is finding your true self. The expression finding of the real self has 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
true self. The expression finding of the real self has been used so much that it has 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
of this word. When you find your true self you inevitably find the true meaning of life 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
assimilated and accepted as a creation of the self. When one fears the down curve, struggles and 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
the most frightening only because the blind little self cannot see beyond the next curve, so that 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
connected with the causes and processes within the self -- and that is the root of all 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
is a parallel between the discovery of the self, consisting of an apparently quite separate destructive, self-willed 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
forces of life. It leads to the innermost self with all its powers, as well as to 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION
hopeless it all seems, the more the conscious self strives and grasps. Such tense motion -- even 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
kind of attitude that does not permit the self to lift up its head and go on 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
they also mean seeking all causes in the self, where they really are. Displacing them outward brings 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
of his or her suffering outside of the self. They do not realize that nothing would be 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
the struggle to pin the fault outside the self goes on and on. The greatest step a 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
about finding the cause of unhappiness within the self is an illusion. Anyone who has ever found 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
of pleasure, fear of letting go, fear of self, fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
from finding the causes of suffering within the self, they shy away even more from this step 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
that you know much more of your innermost self such a list will be more profound. Look 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
yet only a vague feeling deep inside the self. But gradually it becomes more predominant until it 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
and inevitably when you are deep within your self where no duality exists, where all is one 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
a feeling? Is the common denominator that the self experiences both as feelings, when even the feeling 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT
life springs. That source is the divine universal self within each individual being. The process of death 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
is disconnected from the total being, the universal self. This disconnectedness causes the ego state, thus material 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
in which a temporary submerging into the real self can occur are blocked off. Incidentally, those states 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
function and taps different channels to the universal self. For instance, sleep merely affords rest from ego 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
way because one fears the truth within the self. When you have overcome the hurdles because your 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES

matter how mundane, is permeated by the real self, which works freely. You no longer need any 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
overcome fear and resistance before contacting the real self. The more the ego is dipped into the 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
a process of drying out, of separating the self from the source of all life. It is 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
dangerous because then ego control is abandoned, the self immersed into a vaster consciousness and lawfulness? Why 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
for them. The longing to contact the real self cannot ever be eradicated from the human heart 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
the wisdom and greater order of the real self, of the divine being in you. Needless to 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
distrustfulness, illusion, weakness, the tendency to damage the self and forego its best interests. Such an unhealthy 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
do away with self-glorification and illusions about the self. The claim to be more than what one 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
sustained, guided, and inspired by the real, universal self cannot cope with anything. It becomes completely disassociated 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
outer, ego personality is incompatible with the universal self. If the superior universal forces are not trusted 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
ego intelligence is in comparison with the greater self, it still possesses some reason and some grasp 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
you cultivate such attitudes, the more the ego- self becomes compatible with the real self. Therefore fear 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
the ego- self becomes compatible with the real self. Therefore fear of letting go of the ego 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
divine will through the manifestation of the real self one cannot help but convince oneself of its 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
Only by finding your way back within the self into the greater truth -- into the reality 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
do so yet, I herewith request the real self, the divine substance in me, to help me 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES
love, as well as for looking at the self and finding out what is amiss. When you 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES

where just such a dualistic concept of the self as at once the highest and the lowest 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE
If you elevate yourself above your own actual self, above where your self is still ignorant and 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE
