way to exist relates to the problem of values and self- identification. Fundamentally, two value systems govern 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
human beings. One system is that of being values and the other is that of appearance values 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
values and the other is that of appearance values. We have talked about them in a more 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
human beings function on the level of appearance values. Only the most evolved, who have already gone 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
of self-purification and transformation, function according to real values -- for the sake of what is, and 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
in some areas of life with the true values and in other areas still be bound to 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
humanity functions in most areas with the appearance values. Now let us see the difference. Appearance values 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
values. Now let us see the difference. Appearance values always aim to create an impression. Such false 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
always aim to create an impression. Such false values may have crass manifestations, such as craving approval 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
makes all the difference in the world. Appearance values, no matter how strong and apparently loving or 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
proving your value. When you operate with being values you do what you do for the sake 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
as long as you are governed by appearance values, but you are unaware of it when you 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
over your sense of self-value. Operating with being values, on the other hand, brings a deep inner 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
shake your foundation. If you operate with appearance values, your foundation is shaken and even seems to 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
a security, and an awareness of your eternal values that cannot be described in words. When you 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
described in words. When you operate with appearance values, you have no identity. You make your identity 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
not yet been established. As long as appearance values hold sway underneath the surface, you constantly eat 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
when this spirit is not there and appearance values reign, you can never really answer questions such 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
unfortunately succeed in stifling awareness of how appearance values undermine your integrity. The denials are the very 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
on sincere giving and commitment, on the being values we are talking about. What an illusion it 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
if all your energy is funneled into appearance values and you therefore lack centeredness, how can you 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
Everything is colored and determined by the appearance values. If appearance in the eyes of others takes 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
and admiration. Therefore, when you operate with appearance values, you actually invest in not experiencing what you 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
longing. It may not conform to the appearance values you have borrowed. Many systems of appearance values 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
values you have borrowed. Many systems of appearance values exist, while only one being value exists as 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
When conflict arises, at least one set of values is hooked on the appearance level, possibly without 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
self-confrontation can yield the answer. By contrast, appearance values interfere with one another and are at the 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
flexibility and the breathing life that only being values can have. If you dare not know what 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
suffer unfulfillment, for the false goals of appearance values can never fulfill you. You hunt constantly for 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
self-identity and to your despair about it. Appearance values, as long as you adopt them, always disconnect 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
always determined by whether you operate with being values or appearance values. So you never truly know 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
whether you operate with being values or appearance values. So you never truly know what is really 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
when you are governed and polluted by appearance values. You borrow an imagined desire that fits into 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
do not know why. The functioning of being values creates a very different situation. Since you are 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
and really are. When you function with appearance values, you cannot trust your perceptions or your desires 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
right. Even when you already operate with being values, you are used to distrusting your desires. They 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
begin to discover the effects of the being values, you also discover the miracle that these pleasurable 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
will of God. When you function with appearance values, the will of God actually is, or must 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
will of God. They are dictated by appearance values. Such desires and God's will are opposites. Sometimes 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
quite easily that when you function with appearance values and are consequently disconnected from the truth of 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
from the truth of your real being and values and desires, you are disconnected from knowing your 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
yet another step toward committing yourself to being values -- not just generally and philosophically, but specifically 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
the answer. That is also following the being values. The struggle that follows will produce life and 232 BEING VALUES VERSUS APPEARANCE VALUES -- SELF-IDENTIFICATION
