| TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF Greetings, my most beloved friends. Blessings for every | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| you are using spirituality as an escape from self, an avoidance of personal purification, a failure of | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| important obstructions, which is the approach to the self on the arduous path of self-purification. I wish | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| The issue is your confusion about accepting the self with its lower-self aspects, squarely facing its negativity | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| condoning and whitewashing the negativities of the lower self; and you equally confuse self-devastating guilt and self-hate | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| and in which you can face the lower self precisely because you have this basic love and | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| including your own. You can face your lower self unstintingly -- without whitewashing, without explaining it away | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| self-coddling and self-indulgence and denial of the lower self on the other, always exist simultaneously. They are | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| whatever exists in you. Realize that the lower self is nothing but a creation that has come | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| connected with the topic of approach to the self regarding self-love and self-honesty or, in distortion, self-indulgence | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| order to face the truth about the lower self, or in which you have to deny the | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| have to deny the truth about the lower self in order not to feel and experience the | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| denial of what is true in your lower self. You can have respect, love and compassion for | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| the other ugly little attitudes of the lower self, without ever forgetting who you really are. The | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| are. The very fact of facing this lower self deserves the mercy, forgiveness, and love that human | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| energies are inverted and turn, apparently, against the self. This process embraces all being, all creation. What | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| new potentials, renewed creativity, new approaches to the self and others that reveal a much greater maturity | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| therefore proceeds in ways that split off the self from others. Selfishness, greed, ruthlessness, unconcern, and cruelty | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| based on the apparent diversity of interests between self and others. Such a personality can see no | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| remains unaware of the connecting links between the self and others. In the age just past, which | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| others, even if it seemed advantageous to the self. In those earlier periods, people were governed merely | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| seems to pose a choice between either the self or the other, and the conflicts of conscience | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| still so deeply experienced as being against the self. Therefore when you are sacrificing from a dualistic | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| call of the immediate desire of the lower self. The laws and mores of civilization in the | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| conflict between the seemingly divergent interests of the self and others. Now this age has come to | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| for you now see that what harms the self, harms others, and what harms others also harms | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| others, and what harms others also harms the self. Those who have acted primarily on the selfish | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| new vision must be gained in which the self and others are perceived as one. You have | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| pendulum had to swing to emphasis on the self. The individual had to give up God outside | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| God outside to assume full responsibility for the self. But to make the transition from the God | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| the darkest, most undeveloped aspects of the lower self of the entity, individual as well as planetary | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| benign love and justice. The child, the lower self in you, may blindly rebel against the laws | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| certain times that your inner plan, your divine self, wishes you, needs you to go into a | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| the self- interest that comes from the lower self, the need to please, as well as the | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| this direction. Where you act out your lower self, you need those laws to protect others. But | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| others. But where you have outgrown the lower self, you do not need to be told not | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| the more complex matters of personal relationships to self and others, the laws are already dissolving, for | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| For example, on one level -- the lower self -- the imbalance is deliberately sought in order | 228 BALANCE |
| well capitulate. That is the case the lower self makes. It is very important that you be | 228 BALANCE |
| open your heart and mind to your higher self and request guidance for the balance. As I | 228 BALANCE |
| we can combine these two levels: The lower self can create imbalance out of ignorance that both | 228 BALANCE |
| your understanding of this concept ripens, your lower self will no longer get away with its game | 228 BALANCE |
| and blessings that come from your innermost higher self. The truth of being, the beauty of life | 228 BALANCE |
| beauty of life, the strength of your real self are all emerging more and more and make | 228 BALANCE |
| of development. Distrust of anything other than the self was rampant. People distrusted nature, animals, the weather | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| power of truth and love, from the higher self. Whenever something real is denied because of the | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| a denial of the integrity of his higher self in one form or another. Therefore the need | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| self-righteous blame to widen the gap between the self and the other, between the self and truth | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| between the self and the other, between the self and truth. Autonomy is an ever- growing process | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| old state, you have not gained your own self and are not able to relate to the | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| is what it is all about. The higher self is always there, and you can always link | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| connectedness with your greater reality, with your higher self, can make you aware of when such change | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| is desirable and creative and furthers your own self in concert with the universe. With this, my | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| must bring out what exists within the higher self -- its uniqueness and limitless potential for creativity | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| laws and also the pitfalls of the lower self so that its voice can be distinguished. This | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| the inner being, on bringing out the higher self, on purification of the lower self. The child | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| the higher self, on purification of the lower self. The child will learn how to distinguish one | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| other and come to understand about the mask self. Education will prevent the formation of masks and | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| will deal with the realization of the higher self as the fundamental road to learning. Intellectual knowledge | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| begin to approach the road into the inner self. If the mind does not know that an | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| clearly between discipline that is chosen by the self and discipline that is imposed from the outside | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| governed by the inner laws of the divine self and will know what is right for them | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| be sufficiently united with his or her higher self. Conscience and integrity will be sufficiently strong so | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| from within that will help the child's higher self express itself to everyone's immense joy. Communication is | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| As you become more aware of your lower self, of previously hidden levels of consciousness and attitudes | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| yourself, you automatically become aware of the lower self -- the hidden material -- of others. As | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| of others. As you can accept your lower self without being devastated and totally rejected, by holding | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| nature, so will your awareness of the lower self of others not devastate you, annihilate you or | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| It threatened you the way your own lower self threatened you. Your perceptions may have been only | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| yourself in truth -- both as the lower self and the higher self while the mask begins | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| both as the lower self and the higher self while the mask begins to dissolve -- you | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| dissolve -- you perceive the other person's lower self in a very different and new way. You | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| you do not express your perceptions. The lower self is infuriated. The conscious personality may be completely | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| the mask, dissolving it and transforming the lower self, for your relationship to the world becomes altered | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| needed to keep you from facing your lower self. If children grow up with a clear understanding | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| life learning -- this all-encompassing knowledge of life, self and the universe in which we live, move | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| the way you are going into your innermost self is the key to a new approach to | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| you from your inner reality, from your higher self, from the truth of the situation and from | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| of appearance. You cannot connect with your higher self. Since you know that you only appear to | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| want. If you do not know your higher self, if you are disconnected from it and cannot | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| value exists as far as your own higher self is concerned, with all the infinite varieties of | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| being value can never interfere with the higher self value system of another person. When conflict arises | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| energy system functions contrary to your true higher self, to your reality, to who you really are | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| of relaxing inwardly and letting out your true self, with its expressions and its desires. And thus | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| desires. It often is so, because your real self cannot enjoy doing things you do not really | 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION |
| the continuing presence of lower-self aspects. The higher self is becoming constantly predominant. This is not superimposed | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| superimposed in a wishful denial of the lower self. It is the result of a genuine transformation | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| love, infiltrates into the realms of the lower self with its little faithless concerns. The mass consciousness | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| were always meant to experience. However, your inner self will let you do this fully only when | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| reveal principles of divine nature when the lower self is hidden and denied implies attitudes of wishful | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| questions show that these negative beliefs about the self are indeed there, then the word of truth | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| deeply enough to know not only your lower self and its negative intentionality, but also your unfortunate | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| yourself and lack of faith in your higher self to deserve fulfillment and to expand and stretch | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| than from the cheating, grabbing, acquisitive little lower self. If you have something to give another and | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| and have created a different configuration. Your higher self is of course the ever-existing grace of God | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| beauty that permeates all of existence. Your higher self knows states of reality that your conscious mind | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| and the knowledge that come from your higher self, allowing it to penetrate the mind of your | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| the conscious mind, the truth that the higher self knows to be real becomes somewhat distorted. Perceiving | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| particular states of reality, which in the higher self are beautiful, but in the ego-consciousness become untrue | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| begin with perfection. The striving of the higher self for perfection is of course a legitimate movement | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| to truly reach the perfection of the higher self. Let us consider the motives for perfection on | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| conscious ego personality and that of the higher self. Along with that, let us look at some | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| self-recognition that contains respect and love for the self as much as for all other things in | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| but also creative vigor, vitality, myriad expressions of self, of life forever alternating for the deeply innate | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| deep dishonesty on the part of the lower self. It is truly cheating, wanting to skip the | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| generalizations that do not fit the occasion. The self then becomes at times wrongly soft where confrontation | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| is the state of reality that the higher self knows exists. However, the consciousness that is disconnected | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| the consciousness that is disconnected from the higher self warps this truth. The conscious thinking process translates | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| death, just as the message of the higher self that perfection is possible reaches the conscious personality | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| power to create worlds and to re-create the self in myriad joyful forms, to dissolve these forms | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| opening of the channel, so that the inner self can then bear them out through experience. More | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| connection between the conscious mind and the higher self: As you can perceive quite clearly from the | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| should not attempt to connect with the higher self. Quite the contrary, of course. But what is | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| person often comes to believe that the divine self that functions and communicates so beautifully can point | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| The inner God never forces something on the self that the self does not actively seek. This | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| never forces something on the self that the self does not actively seek. This is a law | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| of reality and your channel to your higher self. Even where the open channel already functions, its | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| of defendedness, distorts the messages from the higher self, whether they come in a longing, a striving | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| expanded state is being gathered back into the self. It is being digested, assimilated. It means reaching | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| the treasures of the deepest aspects of the self. Expanding means letting this flow out into the | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| positive expansion. It is a going into the self for the purpose of serving the universal creative | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| that wants to acquaint myself with my lower self and my higher self without exaggerating or belittling | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| myself with my lower self and my higher self without exaggerating or belittling either one. And I | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| you made a total commitment to life and self, giving your best to both, which are one | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| by the desire that comes from your higher self, your inner spirit. In these dreams a diminished | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| further from the truth. Only when your higher self functions, when you are free from self-serving, selfish | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| can trustingly allow the overlayers of the lower self to emerge, in order for you to recognize | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |

| losing sight that you also have a higher self. Yet this higher self must not be confused | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| also have a higher self. Yet this higher self must not be confused with the mask self | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| self must not be confused with the mask self you have identified with for a long time | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| for a long time. You confuse this mask self with your higher self. To remove the mask | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |

| for if you only focus on the lower self you despair. At the same time, if you | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| same time, if you revert to your mask self, you are right back where you started from | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| is that you cannot differentiate between the mask self and the real higher self, and that you | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| between the mask self and the real higher self, and that you believe that if the mask | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| and that you believe that if the mask self is taken from you, you are going to | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| disintegrate into an evil person. Now, the lower self is there; it is never beautiful; it cannot | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| so that you will find the real higher self, not the false version of it. In this | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
