| how preposterous this attitude is. Your conscious or unconscious rationalizations in still denying the awareness and expression | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| without repression and without self-moralizing. The nagging, mostly unconscious suspicion that you are incapable of being what | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| goes without saying that the entire process is unconscious, until you have succeeded in making it conscious | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| to avoid. And, as long as it is unconscious, you have no way of stopping this destructive | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |

| itself there is no logical error. However, the unconscious aim and claim for gaining love through success | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| acceptance actually do not bring it. Therefore the unconscious belief in one's own unworthiness increases, which is | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| that it stands for the divine spark. Your unconscious concept of the real self is so lofty | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| that you can receive something for nothing. The unconscious resistance to letting go is the strongest cause | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
