| the problem directly. Only considerable insight into the self, as a result of hard work, brings the | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| that you must dislike and reject your entire self. You fail to differentiate between rejecting a trait | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| be and how tempted to betray your best self; for greatness, regardless of how petty you may | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| -- intrinsically alien, and your real, final, fixed self is what you dislike. As long as that | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| no trait merits evaluating and rejecting your whole self because of it. Once you perceive this, you | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| source of its own nature, deep inside the self? Only because you are so terrified of your | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |

| when you are free, when you are a self unto yourself without depending on another. And pleasure | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |

| the false belief did not exist that the self is annihilated the moment the ego is not | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| healthy dignity, is always comparing and measuring the self with others and is thus perpetually in illusion | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| more and more frustrated. The chasm between the self and others widens forever more, love becomes less | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| total contraction. It cannot trust anyone, neither the self nor the universe. Therefore the self that is | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| neither the self nor the universe. Therefore the self that is in fear cannot let go of | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| know the nature of its own suffering. The self is bound in the struggle of wanting and | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| can be no division or struggle against the self, no pushing or tense striving. In that state | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| ego fully intact, more integrated with the greater self. Evolution, growth, and self-development must bring you to | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| before. You convert obstruction -- whether inside the self or in your surroundings -- into a part | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| into a part of the realm of the self. When you do not master an obstruction, a | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| obstruction, a disunity is present, either within the self or between the self and the outside world | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| present, either within the self or between the self and the outside world. Growth unifies that disunity | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| and vanity, for courage and truthfulness with the self. You cannot discover a new dimension of life | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| Being reborn is always a rediscovery of the self in a new form, with more faculties revealed | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| of a reluctance to face apparent unpleasantness. The self does not wish to expose its vanity, its | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| of living while the other represents one's innermost self. When the outer serves as a mere substitute | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |

| no need to hold back, to hold the self together in a tight package of ungiving. All | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| thus find self-renewal in the giving of the self. Each step of giving seems to involve the | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| others. This inner reality reveals itself when the self is willing to sacrifice its selfwill, pride, and | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| as strength and true independence. In reality, a self who blindly closes itself to other people is | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| other people is just as weak as the self who repeats other people's values like a parrot | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| own value and truth. I recapitulate: When the self is concerned only with its appearance in the | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| lacks self-possession. On the other hand, when the self is concerned only with proving that it does | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| could be more harmful than denying that the self is unwilling to abandon destructive attitudes and then | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| remain true to the ultimate reality of your self and the situation, you will be a creatively | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
