| the human personality, the shame about the higher self, the best and noblest in the human heart | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| while your natural desire coming from the higher self and truly wanting to love is stopped because | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| of your heart, the demonstration of your true self with all its loving generosity, as well as | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| and dependent parent. As far as your innermost self is concerned, whether you actually betray the weak | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| one parent, as well as against your innermost self. The act of betrayal is so very subtle | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| generosity, affection, and a demonstration of your true self are signs of weakness. Your true self is | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| true self are signs of weakness. Your true self is very often hidden behind a wall of | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| it may be partly true that the real self comes out of hiding. But in the very | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| is this entirely so. Part of the real self manifests, but another part remains hidden. Yes, you | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| yourself may not come out of your real self, but may be borrowed, so to speak. Then | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| well be only a part of your true self. Why? As I just explained, the shame of | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| and giving causes you to hide your true self behind a wall. The inevitable effect must be | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| not love, I must not expose my real self, and add to it the newer experience that | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| real. You still do not display your real self. I do not mean that this substitute outgoing | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| of your being, but is not the real self. Some emotions of the real self are components | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| the real self. Some emotions of the real self are components of this superimposed layer, however. Many | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| will also find that you keep your real self hidden most of the time. With this realization | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| you prepare the ground to allow your real self to evolve, to come out in the open | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| universal conflict around the shame of the higher self, of beginning to feel how it exists in | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| open the prison door and let your real self out, will cause you to experience a wonderful | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| unnecessary burden it was to keep your real self hidden. One person will hide it behind a | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| superimposed layer of something that resembles the real self in all its best aspects, but is not | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| the false layer and look where the real self is. Allow it to step out, even if | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| go through an extensive course of meeting the self, of healing the sick currents, of helping the | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |

| the lecture about the shame of the higher self. Another of these, to be found in every | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| lack of awareness as to where your innermost self wants to lead you, and why your outer | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| wants to lead you, and why your outer self does not listen to its voice, is just | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| not listening to the voice of the innermost self. A certain amount of such resistance might also | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| your life, to your person, to your inner self. Only when these impressions and thoughts are consciously | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| and serves only to decrease your awareness of self and to interfere with your concentrated attention on | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| with yourself. It is easy to deceive the self by shifting the emphasis of effort into another | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| it has nothing to do with facing the self. It is also possible that someone may use | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| will the searcher gradually master and control the self and also life. This control comes with gaining | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| more difficult. This may be because the real self knows perfectly well what is good and necessary | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and joy, to do something against their innermost self. That is so often at the root of | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| had remained completely hidden. It is your true self that you are not even aware of yet | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| how much you are not yet your true self. When you start this work, these are merely | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| see how, during your entire life, your real self with all its natural, beautiful, spontaneous right reactions | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| spontaneous right reactions was constantly hampered. Your real self is often what the other person unconsciously looks | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| of turning inward to finally release the real self from within, so that fulfillment becomes natural and | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| a part of a stupendous whole. Your real self never considers you as the ultimate end. When | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| always thinks that being unduly selfish preserves the self. But in reality this is not so. The | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |

| images, misconceptions and inner problems prohibit your real self from manifesting. At this point we have to | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| may have often wondered, Where is my real self? What is it? And you think of this | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| is it? And you think of this real self as though it were something remote that can | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| slightly awed and somehow imagine that the real self is something utterly strange and new. Therefore, you | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| further from the truth. You know your real self. You have nothing to fear from it. It | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |

| your subconscious often takes for granted. Your real self knows all this. But as long as you | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |

| up to it, since it and your real self are one. This does not mean a fatalistic | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| others. To obtain it, you forsake your own self and your own opinions, and do not stand | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| and squash your natural feelings. Maybe your real self would cause your real feelings to recede too | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |

| lower self and mask self. The term inner self will now make you more aware of this | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the trouble with all truth teachings. The lower self has, of course, nothing to do with the | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of course, nothing to do with the inner self, although it is not always on the surface | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to recognize from a superficial investigation of the self. But wherever problems in life exist, as you | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| such strength can only come from the real self, which is entirely covered up by the false | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is based on reality or truth, your real self is covered up, and hence your real strength | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as you continually progress on your path of self search, you have become much more aware. If | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
