| difference between the perfectionistic demands of your idealized self, and the productive life that your real self | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| self, and the productive life that your real self wants you to lead. QUESTION: I noticed that | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| positiveness, both in a personal involvement with the self as the object. Thereby love becomes an understanding | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| about again and again. It is the real self that is slowly coming to the fore, emerging | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| you go through this pathwork -- this real self begins to manifest. What you describe is the | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| you describe is the manifestation of the real self. Now, this does not come in all areas | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| pseudo-solution. In the new state of the real self there is indeed a deep involvement, but in | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| of your efforts, the manifestation of the real self. Yet, you may have to come away from | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| is an integral part of you: your real self. QUESTION: If a man marries without being really | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| your own will, the will of your real self. The reason for doing so is purely negative | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| will. The inner will comes from your real self, which is intrinsically free. If you allow it | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| the various life forces, coming from your real self and from the other person, go to work | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| to perceive what I say with your innermost self. Do not try to push yourself to live | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| do live true to yourself, imperfect as this self may still be, the spontaneity and awareness of | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| past experiences, cripples the spontaneity of the real self. Even if the real you wishes something unproductive | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| this hour. Understanding yourself means finding your real self. We have discussed from various angles what this | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| have discussed from various angles what this real self is. You may have noticed that I often | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| over and over -- be it image, real self, or whatever else -- the meaning behind the | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| good example of what happens between the real self and the superficial layers of your personality. When | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| spirit of a term, it is your real self that does so. The unfeeling repetition of a | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| has become a repetitive pattern, and your real self no longer functions. Let us try to get | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| get a clearer understanding of how the real self comes into being and what obstructs its functioning | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| is only one way to reach the real self, and that is by knowing yourself. When you | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| yourself, and are therefore nearer to your real self, even before you know the solution to the | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| be something that you are not. Your real self cannot be governed by will or by force | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| still hope and strive to have your real self manifest by acts of thought and of will | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| indirectly bring about the birth of the real self. Here is a brief overall explanation of the | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| rather than hoping to bring out the real self by a direct act of will and thought | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| into being by itself, just as the real self comes into being by itself. You cannot make | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| and a full life, of being your real self. Can you now perhaps understand a little better | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| and will obstruct the birth of the real self, of love, of all the qualities that are | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| understanding, and all other qualities of the real self, have nothing to do with thought and will | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| same with the creative manifestation of the real self, a genuine feeling of love and profound understanding | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| own previous genuine experiences. Superimpositions hide the real self. This is obvious. Superimpositions occur because mind and | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| it prevents the creative process of your real self. Many of my friends have experienced this manifestation | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| thought, meaning the superficial intellect and the real self, the intellect can be directed, manipulated, and governed | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| manipulated, and governed by the will; the real self cannot. The real self is much more intelligent | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| the will; the real self cannot. The real self is much more intelligent, much more certain, and | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| part of the superficial intellect. But the real self is the product, the result that is being | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| reality of your actual state now, the real self can manifest. An intrinsic quality of the real | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| can manifest. An intrinsic quality of the real self is that it reacts in forever new ways | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| they can attain growth and experience the real self by curbing the will, by manipulating thought, by | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| would not obscure the jewel of the real self. You all hold on to these tools because | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| holding on to security cannot bring the real self into being. If you follow this procedure step | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| experience of creative spontaneity that only the real self can give. What you find within yourself may | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| and therefore it leads away from the real self. It might be well worth your consideration to | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |

| I talk about the birth of the real self, of love. Can love come into being by | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| the state of being, which is the real self, and is functioning on a positive level, and | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| neurotic trend on a deep level, the real self seems to disappear. Why can one then not | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| creative work? ANSWER: Creativity comes from the real self. To be wholly your real self takes a | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| the real self. To be wholly your real self takes a great deal of understanding, of observation | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| Perhaps also the past experience of the real self causes one to take it for granted, thinking | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| very opposite of what brings out the real self. Past experience cannot be duplicated in a direct | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| -- that can renew the experience. Your real self is covered by false layers of superimposition. You | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| process. Having had that experience of the real self a few times will give you great strength | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| When you attained the experience of the real self you were not yet expecting it. Because it | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| pleasant and distracting, but somehow shallow. Your true self is never revealed, and therefore you are unfulfilled | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| provide. To simulate strength by betraying your real self, withholding love from the weaker ones whom you | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| the courage to be true to your real self, when you dare to love a person the | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| as wonderful means for discovering more about the self. In the meantime, what one can learn, in | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
| it is unloving and isolated. It emphasizes the self and how it appears in the eyes of | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| a spiritual issue that is at stake. The self here is not of primary importance. Or it | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| direction; it is truly a new awareness of self. You may recall that I have often said | 108 FUNDAMENTAL GUILT FOR NOT LOVING -- OBLIGATIONS |
| purification; we were concerned with looking at the self without the thought of right or wrong. There | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| a human being is to face the lower self, and it is in connection with the lower | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| and it is in connection with the lower self that real guilt exists. You go to any | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| to any length to avoid facing the lower self. Perhaps you are capable and willing to face | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| guilt belonging to the area of the lower self that you are unwilling to tolerate. This condition | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| order to become capable of facing your lower self in its entirety, you must first learn to | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| hand I invite you to face your lower self, your real guilts, to make restitution for them | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| to that degree you cannot accept your lower self. For in that perfectionism, as I said many | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| you have the resiliency to accept the lower self as it actually is. Only then can you | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| advantage of them. Such inability to assert one's self by standing up for one's rights may appear | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| this paralysis with unrecognized facets of the lower self, about which you feel real guilt. Those friends | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| in accepting all the aspects of your lower self can be cultivated even before your personal pathwork | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| too, shy away from fully facing your lower self. Question yourself: Do I wish to pamper myself | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| the corroding effect that not facing the lower self and real guilt has upon your personality, your | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| nothing more than the evasion of the lower self. Or, to put it in different words, it | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| is always the refusal to face the lower self, and its consequence: carrying the burden of unrestituted | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| more harm occurs than good, because the mask self, the idealized self, and the tendency to self-deception | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| than good, because the mask self, the idealized self, and the tendency to self-deception all have to | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| and certain hitherto hidden aspects of your lower self, what then? It is not sufficient merely to | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| you do not want to face your lower self in its entirety. When the issues are not | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| real guilt and unrecognized aspects of the lower self. The first is finding and facing these aspects | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| if you come back home to your real self. As I have said so many times, so | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| in yourself is possible only if your real self is liberated; if you have removed inner conflict | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| based on escape from unpleasant truth about the self, while the latter is not. True faith comes | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| so difficult to understand that only the real self is capable of productive true experience? And hasn't | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| so far shown clearly that finding the real self calls for all of one's efforts, concentration, and | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| path as such, but rather about the inner self, a confusion about one's own motivations, about the | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| faith and hope in the now and the self -- which is always a byproduct of the | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| can come into being only when the true self has been liberated. As long as you are | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| you are not fully aware of your lower self, a real closeness to God is unthinkable because | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| may be unaware of its full consequence on self and others, of its force, its reason for | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| blameless. Restitution becomes as false as the idealized self and therefore as useless and unconvincing. So do | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| you will know how to atone. Your innermost self will inspire you. Guidance will operate. Again, there | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| deep suffering about the discovery of one's lower self as it may appear. This may, at first | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| religious concepts, the divine spark, or the higher self, is also called the Christ within. The purer | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| the aim of evolution to liberate the higher self -- or the so-called Christ within -- from | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| Whether you call this liberation of the higher self, the divine self, or the Christ within, is | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| this liberation of the higher self, the divine self, or the Christ within, is a question of | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| strenuous and energy- consuming, while experiencing the real self is safe and easy. I mention this again | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| soul and the deeper regions of the unconscious self belong to the real spiritual being and the | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| home in the deeper regions of the unconscious self. However, the unconscious is only a part of | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| from the real person, are emotions. The real self sends forth feelings. Hence, a feeling is something | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| to grow and to change, and face the self in utter candor, so as to make growth | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| truth, but it is the facing of your self in utter candor that represents the principal contribution | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| life -- may you all find your real self and thus eventually overcome the barrier that makes | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| blessed. Be in God! 113. IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF Greetings, my dearest friends. Blessings for every one | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| show you the vital difference between identification with self and with others; between experiencing yourself as real | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| one because both prevent the evolution of the self. I would warn you against trying to adjudge | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| comes from the failure of identification with the self. In other words, self-alienation is an effect, while | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| spiritual umbilical cord has not been cut, the self cannot possibly grow. It can grow to only | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| all sorts of tactics that weaken your real self even more. It is so important to understand | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| vital natural feelings. By this very process the self cannot evolve strongly, freely, and independently. Wherever you | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| be able to go about bringing your real self out. This will be easier than finding the | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| But the controlling factor always lies within the self. When one is trying to shift the control | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| help to readjust the disharmonious flow of the self and life, one prevents the free flow that | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| the only meaningful control: complete awareness of the self. When you do not like, or even fear | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| you. When you start the work, the conscious self does not realize that this forbidden area has | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| a closer perception and deep penetration into your self will show you the difference. True, sometimes the | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| can grow only through these insights into your self. By becoming aware of your unreality, you live | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| escape because security cannot be found outside the self. A person may, while performing such tasks, drown | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| fellow-creature does. Through the deep understanding of the self, the understanding of others grows, and through that | 115 PERCEPTION, DETERMINATION, LOVE AS ASPECTS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| THE SPIRITUAL CENTER -- STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE LOWER SELF AND THE SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE Greetings, my dearest friends | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| indicate that the inner core of your spiritual self is no longer hidden and out of reach | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| you are in contact with the inner, real self which has the power to nourish you constantly | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| When you are in contact with your inner self you will understand the true reason for your | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| much suffering and loneliness. Since your inner spiritual self is the same as everyone else's spiritual self | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| self is the same as everyone else's spiritual self, the separateness is lifted the moment you are | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| The real you is the other person's real self. There is no barrier between them. The barrier | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| fight between what we have called the lower self and the superimposed conscience. So often an expression | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| determine again what I mean by the lower self. The lower self is not only that part | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| I mean by the lower self. The lower self is not only that part of human nature | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| and aims you do react from this lower self. The problem is much less the existence of | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| is much less the existence of the lower self than the nature of your attitude toward it | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| really should have already completely overcome the lower self and no such childish, preposterous selfishness and self-concern | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| reconciled to the existence of their own lower self. They may do so in theory, but are | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| to your shame and guilt about your lower self and the consequent hiding of it, you do | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| process quite clear. The repression of the lower self falls in three categories: (1) repression of the | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| as to the actual nature of your lower self, or what you consider as such. Rather, begin | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| to observe the subtle manifestations of the lower self in certain of your reactions and impulses. Observe | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| kinds of conscience: one emanating from the real self, the other being superimposed. It will be useful | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| inner struggle the superimposed conscience hides the lower self, instead of bringing it out into the open | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| what stands between you and your inner, real, self is not only your errors and misconceptions, your | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| misconceptions, your false images and distortions, your lower self, but also the superimposed conscience. It is the | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| Healthy self-respect can come only from your real self, from which you alienate yourself further by clinging | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
