| is our goal. Life, of course, is also struggle. But there is healthy and constructive as well | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| and constructive as well as unhealthy and destructive struggle. Various philosophies and religions ask that you give | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| yourself and in the world around you. Healthy struggle never exhausts your energies. It is never futile | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| it does not always directly reap success. Healthy struggle is characterized by relaxed activity and the ability | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| to cover up hidden psychological deviations. In healthy struggle you never fight against yourself. Overcoming impurities and | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| and destructive, not by struggling against it. Healthy struggle will always make you stronger. You will not | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| will not swim against the stream, so the struggle will not consume you and leave you depleted | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| the flow of your emotions. This is unhealthy struggle. If only you would give it up, you | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| as a natural byproduct of ceasing the futile struggle to keep your hidden negative attitudes from surfacing | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| can be eliminated by ignoring them. In healthy struggle there is no anxiety, no fear, no uncertainty | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| no fear, no uncertainty, no doubt. Whenever you struggle for an apparently healthy aim but register negative | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| negative emotions, you will know that an unhealthy struggle must also be going on. In some hidden | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| negative does not eliminate its existence. When you struggle against your insecurity, denying its existence, it rises | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| our aim in this work to avoid futile struggle. For this purpose we have to remove the | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| will not have to go through the same struggle again. This is the healthy struggle to overcome | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| the same struggle again. This is the healthy struggle to overcome the unhealthy struggle against self- awareness | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| is the healthy struggle to overcome the unhealthy struggle against self- awareness. Learn to discover the signs | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| will experience the difference between healthy and unhealthy struggle. If there is doubt in you, and you | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| you do not want to doubt, you may struggle against the doubt by denying its existence, but | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| you have nothing to fear from them. Unhealthy struggle is resistance, and it is futile because you | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| problem from a new angle. So do not struggle against what is inside, regardless of what it | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |

| insistence on unreasonable demands, and many more. You struggle against these feelings just as you struggle against | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| You struggle against these feelings just as you struggle against the fear. Very often, the first layer | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| a real outer fear overwhelms you, then you struggle against a part of yourself in life. And | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| be in fear, and the more you will struggle against the knowledge of this fear and of | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |

| all seems doubly confused. At such times your struggle is often very painful until you have truly | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| you. But while you are engaged in this struggle, your overall view of your path may be | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| before, in the first phase of this inner struggle the superimposed conscience hides the lower self, instead | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| of freedom, derived out of your own inner struggle, your intuition, your reason, even if the result | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| ignorance and poor guidance are responsible for the struggle within yourself, for you are not enmeshed in | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| yourself, for you are not enmeshed in this struggle in every aspect of your being. In some | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| these problems in the light of this specific struggle, you will understand how your inner problems and | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| understand how your inner problems and this particular struggle are connected. Personality problems and deviations come, as | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| Only by seeing the whole picture will your struggle between your superimposed conscience and your actual and/or | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| you with the necessary insight to resolve the struggle. The general knowledge of the existence of this | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| same. As I have said before, in this struggle you treat yourself with merciless harshness. You inflict | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| on another level. This proves that in this struggle you have not come to terms with yourself | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| it cannot flow naturally and spontaneously. A similar struggle exists with woman. When the girl-child feels rejected | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| an aspect, it takes a considerable amount of struggle and courage to admit what so far has | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| what so far has been inadmissible. When the struggle is overcome, a significant amount of inner freedom | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| freedom and ease has been reached. Such a struggle rarely culminates in one ultimate victory. The process | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| power to give or to withhold. The basic struggle of the infant is to attain the pleasure | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| which stands in the way. This simple, primitive struggle still exists within each individual. In itself it | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |

| misconceptions and inner conflicts arise from the infant's struggle between attaining pleasure and avoiding pain. The infant's | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| your resistance to going deeper. The greater the struggle and resistance, the more meaningful was the insight | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| conflict rages just because of this interconnection. You struggle against the dependency that you simultaneously insist upon | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| One of the fundamental human predicaments is the struggle to overcome the duality between life and death | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| a threat. The path of self-discovery embodies this struggle, my friends. The avenues of escape, even within | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| this earth can be and more! Therefore, the struggle of self-realization, in the last analysis, must mean | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| with your present imperfection. When you no longer struggle against the self, thus shedding your pride and | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| no longer have negative feelings, cause you to struggle away from the now, which makes contact with | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| happiness. This happiness is easy; there is no struggle about it. The tragedy of human beings is | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| of human beings is that they so arduously struggle against happiness by fearing truth and holding onto | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| As I have mentioned in the past, the struggle against truth results in split concepts. Human beings | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| unrecognized and therefore unchanged. As long as you struggle against standing on your own feet, you will | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| feel you ought not to be unhappy, you struggle away from the now, therefore from yourself, and | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
