| rules and regulations you substitute for your real self may not always be general. They vary according | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| moral structure actually takes the place of the self: you trust in rules rather than in yourself | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| because it is so contrary to one's idealized self. The moment you can sense and acknowledge these | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| giving up the false values of the idealized self. QUESTION: I feel the emotions, and they are | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| to want the same thing as the higher self. You should go on doing that which is | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| makes it so much easier to face the self, while the irrational and unconscious belief that you | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| non- existent. Among the needs of the idealized self are, for instance, the need for glory, the | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| unhealthy, and artificially created needs of the idealized self create guilt feelings, but just as often the | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| These three aspects, as well as the idealized self image, form a part of your defense. But | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| it, and only then will your true undefended self manifest. This real self may often act completely | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| will your true undefended self manifest. This real self may often act completely against your known outer | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| deal of struggle before you let your real self act, unhampered by your outer levels which are | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| it to you in your troubles. Your innermost self, which knows so well, which will never lead | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| between submissiveness, appeasement, and the unprotected, vulnerable real self which should be out in the open. This | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| robs you of the dignity of your real self. Your real self can lose. It may be | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| the dignity of your real self. Your real self can lose. It may be painful, but that | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| that the aim is to find your real self, your true being, underneath layers upon layers which | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| realize that these layers are not your real self, but artificial traits you have cultivated for so | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| be you. When we think of the real self, we know that it stands for the divine | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| divine spark. Your unconscious concept of the real self is so lofty and so holy that it | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| holy that it is utterly foreign to the self with which you are familiar. The discrepancy both | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| the greatest stumbling blocks in finding your real self. The real self is actually much nearer to | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| blocks in finding your real self. The real self is actually much nearer to you than you | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| where you do act out of your real self, but you do not know it, because it | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| superficial layers. You assume that the real, divine self appears in the form of rigid perfection with | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| and approval. Then it is not your real self that acts, regardless of how perfect the outer | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| to determine the difference between your genuine, true self and the superficial self. Whenever you act out | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| between your genuine, true self and the superficial self. Whenever you act out of your real self | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| self. Whenever you act out of your real self, you are in complete unity with yourself. There | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| it is something to meditate upon. The superficial self may perform an act which is right by | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| indicates that both alternatives come from the superficial self. This may also hold true when two alternatives | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| either case you are confused, because your real self is covered up and all alternatives at your | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| patterns are actions. Actions coming from the outer self always put you in a trap. They offer | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| these topics to the freeing of the real self. My dear friends, whenever you are helplessly trapped | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| are in such a predicament because your real self cannot manifest and guide you. The only way | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| you. The only way to free your real self sufficiently is to find your particular point of | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| other alternative will be to follow your real self. This new way may be imperfect at present | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| yourself weak, dependent, and helpless. Then, your true self cannot manifest. So far, the price you have | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| may find that whenever in life your real self was manifest, you had relinquished something. Look perhaps | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| your natural development in this respect, your real self was manifest in the past, you will also | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| too much of an obstacle to facing the self. These tendencies in you made it necessary for | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| and attitudes as emanating not from your true self, but from the afflicted area, and consider their | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| you find yourself in such confusion, your true self cannot show you the clear way. You try | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| it leads to confusion and conflict within the self. Inner confusion and conflict makes it all the | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| of a chain-reaction. The core is the real self -- and this most certainly does not act | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| mistake if it comes out of your real self than to obey rules and principles when you | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| divorced from warmth, courage, and humor. The true self of every individual is the very opposite of | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF Greetings, my dearest, dearest friends. God bless every | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| kind of path of attempting to find the self, but for every single human being, regardless of | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| yourself, Who am I? Where is my real self? I attempt to guide you to the core | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| can be only if you are your real self. It is logical and reasonable that the struggle | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| self-alienation -- that of not being one's real self -- is so predominant that its symptoms are | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| weak person. By saying that being your real self will make you master of your life, I | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| do without whatever you wish. When your real self masters your life, your forces work constructively and | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| do is see it. When your experience of self, of others and of life is not distorted | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| flexibility, adaptability, self-assertion, creativity -- that your real self is endowed with. You will express yourself adequately | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| yourself adequately and be understood because your real self is free. You will be in a position | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| this effect on you? Because your experience of self and of others is so distorted that you | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| strength being inhibited. That strength is your real self, but the inhibition has nothing to do with | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| to perceive reality and thus find your real self in this respect and second, to no longer | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| to no longer be alienated from your real self. Only then will you also alter the outer | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| resulted from your distorted experience of life and self, your inability to relinquish, and your illusion of | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| and you will have access to your real self. You will no longer have to live with | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| own faculties and powers onto aspects of the self. Now, you may think that this cannot be | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| this cannot be because if it is the self, it is not estrangement from the self. Yet | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| the self, it is not estrangement from the self. Yet it is estrangement from yourself to project | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| other faculties and are thus alienated from the self, in that you leave an integral part of | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| you leave an integral part of your entire self out of commission. This holds true even more | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| unreal and unreasonable, something foreign to the real self whose nature is reality and reason. Moreover, the | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| and reason. Moreover, the pseudo-solutions and the idealized self are selfish and loveless in their very nature | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| and as such are foreign to the real self, whose intrinsic nature is love. The pseudo-solutions and | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| the idealized self- image are pretenses. The real self is intrinsically genuine. Most of you, in the | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| cannot help it. It is because your real self does not function in these situations. You are | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| these situations. You are alienated from your real self due to your unreality, your pretense, your insistence | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| Once you function from out of your real self, you will not experience yourself as less or | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| You cannot come in touch with your real self before you fully experience how you are as | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| word, it means the finding of the real self. No such self-finding can occur unless you actively | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| me say one more thing about the real self, a further hint as to how to find | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| self-alienation? If you were related to your real self, if you were in contact with its reality | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| reached a much greater area of your real self than you may think. For this is your | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| you may think. For this is your real self. Your problem of unfulfillment in itself recedes into | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| finding your home. The stranger -- your alienated self -- finds home within the reality of the | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| their reason is. Reason comes from the real self, so to the degree of their self-alienation, to | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| that degree reason does not function. The real self is pure reason and pure love. You might | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| will find the way home to your real self. Be blessed. Rejoice in all that is waiting | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| is no other security than becoming your real self. This cannot be accomplished in any other way | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| by facing your errors and illusions. Your little self may obstruct this endeavor, may try to humor | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| give in to the voices of this little self that pull you in the opposite direction from | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| only key to becoming aware of your real self. And now, my friends, I am ready for | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| sure. QUESTION: In my search for my real self, when and how do I feel that I | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| you are much nearer to realizing your real self than you may think, provided you do not | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| tremendous risk, you must eventually discover your real self. Only by stepping into the apparent nothingness without | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| of finding truth -- that is, your real self. Only after risking insecurity without pretense do you | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| do you find real security in your real self. The decision must be made to take the | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| get without pretense, will you find your real self. A new strength will come into you with | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
| have arrived at a feeling of the real self. When you change inner direction by no longer | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |

| acknowledgement and experience you do find your real self. You feel a new strength. Does that answer | 96 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS; COMMENTS ON LAZINESS AS SYMPTOM OF SELF-ALIENATION |
