| at once universal and intensely personal. It is universal in the sense that it aims exclusively at | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| to see it. The call of life is universal. The attitude necessary to awaken the inner center | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| attitude necessary to awaken the inner center follows universal values. Truth, love, and beauty are universal aspects | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |

| your pride leads to the realization of the universal values which alone can give you the courage | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| courage to go with the life stream. The universal self often contradicts outer rules which come from | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| their birthright, since it is based entirely on universal values. Everything that matters is contained within it | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| avoid or neglect the existence of a more universal part in yourself, you are often equally afraid | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| act purposefully, in the best interest of the universal laws within yourself, you do become helpless; you | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| act constructively -- in this case activate the universal center within. They wait as though something other | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| any division, any false concept, is where the universal consciousness is completely realized. Where there is no | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |

| in order to meet and face a deeper universal, metaphysical conflict -- the one I am discussing | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |

| natural state. This in turn alienates you from universal forces and sets up a barrier preventing you | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| by the individual's free decision to adopt natural, universal laws and standards, taking full responsibility for this | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| any law for granted that is not a universal law of life you close the door to | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| You are nearer the self, nearer to the universal truth, nearer to the source of all bliss | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| so is the capacity to partake in the universal bliss, which is a natural condition. The second | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| here is that one cannot be in the universal, general truth, the dynamic truth of life, unless | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| place and a meaningful life establishes itself. The universal stream of life brings harmony where disharmony existed | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| shy away from your truth in relation to universal truth. This opportunism based on fear may easily | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| should not trust these feelings. You deny the universal forces within you. You want to play it | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| to it. Self-realization means becoming aware of this universal, cosmic power, available at all times. It is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| Therefore, one of the hindrances to making the universal power available is the inability to seriously and | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| describe. In order to be compatible with the universal power, it is necessary that the personality is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| which is foreign to and incompatible with the universal power. This very intensity may cause, as a | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| an incompatibility between your inner personality and the universal power. It causes a deep indentation in the | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| this prohibits the flow of the force. The universal power must enter into all levels of the | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| levels for you to be open to the universal power. It cannot exist when the flowing movements | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| properties that set up conditions compatible with the universal power. The cosmic power can then manifest in | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| of intensity, in the right way, makes the universal power available, while the intensity I discussed is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| discussed is a cramping-up that blocks off the universal power. The cramping is then often confused with | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| life, the self, and the life processes. The universal power is utterly trustworthy. To distrust it is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| depths of your being, and to trust the universal powers. The other is your fear with its | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| connected with the life processes, with reality, with universal power. For your resistance to feel and love | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| same thing differently -- the realization of the universal powers. QUESTION: As a physician I ask if | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| on the relationship between your ego and the universal life principle -- the real self as we | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| Let us try to define again what the universal life principle is and how it manifests in | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| is and how it manifests in you. The universal life principle is life itself. It is eternal | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| to its own nature. Every individual consciousness is universal consciousness -- not just a part of it | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| consciousness continues to exist and to contain the universal consciousness, but it becomes oblivious to its own | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| therefore not entirely accurate to state that the universal consciousness manifests. It would be more correct to | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| ego intelligence is by far inferior to the universal intelligence whether or not you can recognize it | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| Consciousness and energy are not separate aspects of universal life; they are one. But some people tend | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| as part of one's self-realization. One of the universal life principle's basic characteristics, whether expressed as autonomous | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| the existential conflict between the ego and the universal consciousness. The spontaneously manifesting universal consciousness has nothing | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| ego and the universal consciousness. The spontaneously manifesting universal consciousness has nothing to do with religious precepts | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| have arisen as a result of sensing this universal life principle. When a person senses it and | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| go of the outer ego to let the universal processes unfold and carry you? It is the | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| consider how the ego formed itself out of universal life. Individualization is an integral aspect of the | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| life. Individualization is an integral aspect of the universal life force. Life is always moving, reaching out | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| within. For that is the law of the universal life principle. The separated state operates dualistically; it | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| fall into place when the ego connects with universal life. When I speak of letting go of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| has made itself a separated part of the universal life which can be found deep within the | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| closer you come to the reality of the universal life principle within you. The universal life principle | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| of the universal life principle within you. The universal life principle then becomes freer to disclose itself | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| self, meaning the real potential in everyone, the universal life in every human core; the lower self | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| come in contact with the center of the universal life that you are only when you are | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| live deeply and vibrantly. You are already this universal life power. Every conceivable possibility is contained in | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| described. These stand between the ego and the universal self. They form a thin but firm screen | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| They are responsible for your alienation from the universal life principle. They create the apparently dangerous and | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| and unbridgeable chasm between the ego and the universal power. They are responsible for your illusory fear | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| consciousness is harmonious and in accordance with the universal laws, the rhythm occurs regularly. The dimension of | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
