| presented to the world and to the conscious self. As you know, the idealized self-image denies all | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| feels is lacking. The pretense of the idealized self is the crux of the matter. The pretense | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |

| To fulfill one's life, one must fulfill one's self. Self-fulfillment or self-realization takes place on many levels | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |

| outer personality. When close contact with this inner self is not established on all levels, such nudging | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| matters that have nothing to do with the self. If one is not connected with one's inner | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| If one is not connected with one's inner self a most truthful observation will be but a | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| can you perceive the voice of your higher self should it wish to convey something different. And | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| the pseudo-solutions work, to get the false, idealized self across. Then you believe that you are so | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| coping can no longer be used. The conscious self now sees their preposterousness and they can no | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| and happiness can become a part of the self. How can a genuine yes-current exist, if part | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| firm ground. Fulfillment of any expression of your self can easily be yours. When you allow yourself | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| your role in life. When you understand that self hood and self- government are synonymous with following | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| the voice and the will of your divine self, that these two concepts are not mutually exclusive | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| will comprehend the vast difference between the real self and the insignificant outer brain, the difference between | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| to remove all obstacles and division within the self. The reason for this in your case is | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| do not mean arrogant overestimation of the little self. In fact, gradually the larger self takes over | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| the little self. In fact, gradually the larger self takes over altogether. This is the integration we | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
