| which is the demonic self; and the mask self which hides the demonic or lower self. Needless | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| mask self which hides the demonic or lower self. Needless to say, there are many degrees and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| removed from the realization of your ultimate divine self. Lack of awareness comes from being split off | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| from the reality of one's real, higher, divine self. But one is also split off from awareness | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| also split off from awareness of the lower self as well as the mask. This fragmentation creates | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| lower selves dissolve and only the true higher self manifests and expresses itself. Only when the lower | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| only be reversed when awareness of the mask self, the lower self, and finally the higher self | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| when awareness of the mask self, the lower self, and finally the higher self can be attained | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| self, the lower self, and finally the higher self can be attained through various processes and approaches | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| by making room for other alternatives for the self, for life, and for expressing the self in | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the self, for life, and for expressing the self in life. This demands making an effort to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| to emphasize once again that unifying the fragmented self cannot happen as long as the world is | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| perceived in dualistic terms. When issues, people, the self, the world, life, ideas and attitudes appear to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| unmanifest, deeper, broader, wiser and more loving divine self, then your divine self will be sufficiently freed | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| and more loving divine self, then your divine self will be sufficiently freed to manifest. Hence you | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| The process of becoming aware of your mask self and your lower self and dealing with them | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| aware of your mask self and your lower self and dealing with them will greatly speed up | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| up if the conscious mind calls the higher self into play and directs it to give specific | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| such practices genuinely bring out the real higher self and yet leave the undeveloped aspects of consciousness | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the other; when to concentrate on the higher self so as to strengthen its staying power and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| guidance; when to pay attention to the lower self with its hidden evil, its dishonesty, cheating, and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| focus on the specific devices of the mask self and observe how it masks itself and what | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| it uses in order to keep the lower self hidden. One also has to know when the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| to genuinely get in touch with your divine self and then use it to camouflage the split-off | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| way of approaching spirituality and realizing the spiritual self is the approach we use. The greater pain | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| It brings into concrete experience aspects of the self which may still smolder underground unmanifested but which | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| when we have deliberately confronted it, when our self accepts its present inner state and wants to | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| a unification process can begin. When the lower self is understood, accepted and dissolved, when the mask | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| active. Balance is re-established as purification of the self proceeds. On the level of mind, you will | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| to attempt getting in touch with the higher self, the divine consciousness that is ever-present, immutable, and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| for the sole purpose of realizing the divine self while disregarding the dark aspects of the self | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| self while disregarding the dark aspects of the self. It is a current illusion and wishful thinking | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the one that concentrates solely on the higher self and disregards the dark side of human nature | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| manage to stave off awareness of your lower self and your mask self, you will not be | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| awareness of your lower self and your mask self, you will not be aware of the already | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| not be aware of the already manifest higher self. You may pay lip service to the fact | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| it unless you make yourself feel your lower self and the mask that hides it. If you | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| Just as both the higher and the lower self can be fully conscious or unconscious, or manifest | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| between these two possibilities, so can the mask self. The mask self is your pretense, your hiding | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| possibilities, so can the mask self. The mask self is your pretense, your hiding, your facade for | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| real. All these various expressions indicate the mask self. The mask self is a defense against exposing | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| various expressions indicate the mask self. The mask self is a defense against exposing who you really | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| Of course you are not exclusively the lower self which the mask is designed to hide. However | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| of yourself, you inevitably also mask your higher self from yourself. The more you try to show | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| -- what is genuinely there in the higher self, but not in the mask self -- the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the higher self, but not in the mask self -- the more your higher self is masked | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| the mask self -- the more your higher self is masked. Again, you can be conscious of | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| conflicts in you and establishes your sense of self and your knowledge that the universe with all | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| this work is yet another level of the self beyond the physical body. The reason that I | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| with the as yet separated part, the lower self. Much of it will sound, perforce, repetitious, but | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| to uncovering unconscious negativities, aspects of the lower self, or distorted concepts. When you have removed the | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| new possibilities, new states of consciousness for the self. If you now cannot conceive yourself free from | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| hand with a similar attitude toward the lower self. To the degree you hide from the lower | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| To the degree you hide from the lower self and are unwilling to face it, you will | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| I remove the defenses and face my lower self, when I am willing to change, then I | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| divine process and let it respond. The spiritual self is being impressed and called forth by the | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| another interaction must come about. The manifesting spiritual self must become the active principle, and the conscious | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| time to the lower, destructive part of the self, asking it to manifest and express itself. Subsequently | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| listen with your conscious mind, so the lower self can truly be heard. This does not mean | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| mind lets itself be instructed by the spiritual self, so the lower self can be instructed by | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| instructed by the spiritual self, so the lower self can be instructed by both the conscious ego-mind | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| by both the conscious ego-mind and the divine self -- perhaps in that order. After you have | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| listened to the destructive nonsense of the lower self, without impinging on its free expression, you can | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| a bit later you can request the divine self to issue instructions to the lower self. Let | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| divine self to issue instructions to the lower self. Let the divine self talk to your conscious | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| instructions to the lower self. Let the divine self talk to your conscious mind and your undeveloped | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| to your conscious mind and your undeveloped lower self. Listen to it; let it teach and inspire | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| write to you through your ego-mind. The divine self can instruct the usually unconscious lower self in | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| divine self can instruct the usually unconscious lower self in various ways. You may actually hear an | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| can then actively ally itself with the divine self. Or the process can happen during your sleep | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| come from your wish to purify the lower self. After you have fully recognized how the process | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| for it -- the influence of the divine self may take place on the involuntary level. You | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |

| 195. IDENTIFICATION AND INTENTIONALITY: IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY Blessings and greetings for | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| the theory that you, too, have a lower self, that you have faults and character defects. You | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| need not be the major part of the self. In fact, it may be that a relatively | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| while a much more substantial part of the self strives for the opposite. But no matter how | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| in relationship to the liberated, positive aspects of self, the negative part holds a magnetic power over | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| to the state of negating life and the self. The mere word intention connotes that the self | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| self. The mere word intention connotes that the self is in charge, and makes a deliberate choice | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| are with your own negative will. That the self deliberately chooses a course of denial, spite, and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| ready to step through it. Even before the self is ready to make a new choice, the | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| deeper, broader, and more effective aspect of the self in order to even believe in the possibility | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| trusting in the processes of the involuntary spiritual self to bring it about. If there is no | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| If there is no identification with the spiritual self, such trust and the necessary climate of unpressured | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| want to admit its limitations, and yet the self has not found the way to identify with | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it be destructive to identify with the higher self? Or, conversely, How could it be desirable to | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it be desirable to identify with the lower self? I say it can be either. If you | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| be either. If you identify with the higher self or your spirit, without truly being aware of | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| spirit, without truly being aware of your lower self, mask self, your defenses, your dishonest devices, and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| truly being aware of your lower self, mask self, your defenses, your dishonest devices, and your negative | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| negative intentionality, then your identification with the higher self becomes an escape and an illusion. Under these | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| By the same token, identification with your lower self can be desirable or undesirable. Perhaps we can | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| is one thing to identify with your lower self or your mask self, but to observe and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| identify with your lower self or your mask self, but to observe and identify it, is another | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| another. When you are identified with the lower self, you believe that this is all there is | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| identified with it. When the mask and lower self, or the negative intentionality and dishonest games are | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| feelings, you can then identify with the spiritual self. The lower self should be identified; the spiritual | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| then identify with the spiritual self. The lower self should be identified; the spiritual self identified with | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| The lower self should be identified; the spiritual self identified with. The ego makes the identification, but | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| so that it is integrated into the spiritual self. When giving up negative intentionality, you already experience | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| experience yourself as something more than the lower self whose energies should be dissolved in their present | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| are totally identified with this aspect of the self. This must be so regardless of the developed | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| a person is entirely identified with the lower self or no longer at all. You are all | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| all invariably a combination. Some aspects of the self are free and there a deep spiritual identification | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| the same time, the as yet unidentified lower self aspects and unfelt feelings partially create a climate | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| create a climate of submersion into the lower self and the self fears this to be its | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| of submersion into the lower self and the self fears this to be its only reality. A | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| a secret, albeit partial, identification with the lower self exists, giving it up appears as self-annihilation to | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| appears as self-annihilation to that part of the self which is destructive, cruel, hateful, spiteful, and soon | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| hateful, spiteful, and soon, this seems the real self. The other seems unreal -- perhaps even phony | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| to cover up the reality of the lower self. Giving up hate, spite, and negative intention seems | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| extricate myself from my identification with my lower self? When you experience yourself as real exclusively in | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| experience yourself as real exclusively in the lower self, to whatever degree this may hold true, you | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| hold true, you cannot give up the lower self. The refusal to do so is the misplaced | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| would follow if you gave up the lower self grows stronger and the negativity becomes self-perpetuating. You | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| way, beyond the limited scope of the lower self which you used to protect so jealously. Reach | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| you are no longer identified with the lower self which knows nothing beyond these confined walls and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| But dying into what? Dying into your true self where your real feelings and your real being | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| willing, you must remain that hard, stiffened, limited self. Here lies your choice. It cannot be claimed | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| must always be to the truth of the self -- what it really feels and thinks and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| and thinks and is. If commitment to the self is the aim, then you cannot fail to | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| may not even come from your deeper, spiritual self as yet. You may not experience magical revelations | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| another bridge to a greater expansion of the self. Little by little you can become calm, and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| all, a one- pointedness of attention; giving the self in a wholehearted way to whatever the commitment | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| brings light, and exposes the core of the self, with its resiliency, creativity, and depth of feeling | 196 COMMITMENT: CAUSE AND EFFECT |
| perception exists in human beings regarding life and self, God and humanity, cause and effect, and many | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| must be faced and overcome primarily within the self. Only then can the evil that is outside | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| can the evil that is outside of the self be dealt with. The attempt to reverse this | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| inner center -- and the center is the self. Neither of these two extremes exists in the | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the universe; it negates the truth of the self, with all its thoughts, feelings, and intents. This | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| are in this alienated ignorant state about the self. But it is not enough, my friends, to | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| negative to positive intentionality is that secretly the self identifies almost totally with the destructive part. Hence | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| When negative expressions are not admitted to the self they congeal into a festering sore of guilt | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| which confusion grows and the genuine sense of self gets more and more lost. Theoretical correct knowledge | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| establish an identification with your mature, constructive, genuine self. It is necessary to admit the existence of | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| guilt and resentment, between negation and rejection of self, of others and of life, and between fear | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| self-value is determined by measuring and comparing the self with others. This, too, is a total distortion | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it, to lose your fear of the destructive self. Then you can experience pain. And as you | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| pain. And as you lose your fear of self, of pain and of evil, you will be | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| forever wider and deeper portions of your real self, your cosmic existence, with its infinite possibilities for | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| possibilities for experience, joy, and creation of the self. Humanity believes that this split-off ego-consciousness is the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| believes that this split-off ego-consciousness is the real self. You identify with your brain, your outer intelligence | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| of your very existence, of your sense of self. To penetrate this illusion, you need all the | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| separateness by creating an artificial conflict between the self and others. It says, I must prove to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| feelings and one's inner reality regarding the spiritual self, belong in the category of pride; they are | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| this process can the influx of the spiritual self make the new acquisitions a spontaneous, living, effortless | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| spontaneous, living, effortless experience. Ego means effort; spiritual self means effortlessness. This desirable effortlessness is not given | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| become able to unify with the cosmic, greater self. The ego must lay the arduous groundwork until | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| must lay the arduous groundwork until the real self can come through. This can be noted in | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| know, not easy. The inspiration of the spiritual self is blocked off to the degree the ego | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| does not serve as an escape from the self. Harmonious movement is not tiring or exhausting, although | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| consciousness and holds all aspects of the greater self from which it has separated itself, even if | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| searchlight must be ruthlessly turned on the little self. Only when you use your ego consciousness to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
