| In other words, you want to cheat: you want to receive without giving fully. You set limits | 35 TURNING TO GOD |

| indicates the true and mature spirituality that we want for you. Only in this way can you | 35 TURNING TO GOD |
| you will by zeroing in on what you want to pray for. You can simultaneously derive the | 36 PRAYER |

| Why should I be unhappy? I do not want to be unhappy! Only a perfect being could | 37 ACCEPTANCE, RIGHT AND WRONG WAY -- DIGNITY IN HUMILITY |

| If you pray for things solely because you want them and because it would be pleasant to | 39 IMAGE-FINDING |
| have said this often, my friends, but I want to make it quite clear, that although you | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| do not know it. In your emotions you want to be perfect, and when you discover an | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| it? What was the occasion? What did I want to protect myself from? How did it work | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| is hardly a human being who does not want to avoid it in some way, despite your | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| There is not one person who would not want some kind of change -- perhaps not even | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| not even a pronounced change, a conscious I want this instead of that. You may feel an | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |
| have the power to change this if you want to. And if your unconscious immature nature were | 40 MORE ON IMAGE-FINDING: A SUMMARY |

| your reaction. Ask yourself, What do I really want in connection with this situation that makes me | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| or fearful now? I am angry because I want something different. What is it that I want | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| want something different. What is it that I want? Or, I am joyful because a desire of | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| often puzzled because you find out that you want something pure and good, and yet it brings | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| that you do not really know what you want. This is puzzling and often upsetting. There is | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| that you actually do not know what you want. And because of that, you will try first | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| you consciously do not desire, but which you want unconsciously. Only you want it without strings attached | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| heartily welcome a few new friends, and I want to say to them that this path will | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| that there is nothing wrong with what they want. Yet, authority hinders them, and they often feel | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| a part of themselves which they do not want to expose. Exposing their true feelings was exactly | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| yet conscious. You are aware that you do want the good, the true, and the beautiful, but | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| this wall must one day disintegrate if you want to be whole and truly healthy. As long | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| viewpoint: What do I feel? How would I want to be? Why do I react this way | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| also all full of goodwill and do not want any friction. The question always is how to | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| be the second step. And if you really want to reach the highest step in this particular | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| in a corner of your being you still want to prove how right you are, you have | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| compulsion -- but also an impure motive. You want to do away with undesired and unadmired tendencies | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| is proof of the very selfishness that you want to eliminate and therefore it cannot succeed, even | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| apart from the forcing element. But if you want to rid yourself of self-centeredness because you sincerely | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| acknowledged, faced, and changed. Yet you do not want to face it, hence you look unconsciously for | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you are not perfect. It is commendable to want to become perfect. It cannot be recommended enough | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you are, you obstruct the very goal you want to attain. I know, my friends, that I | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| many times, but I must do so. I want to stress that it is an unjustified guilt | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| I have done or left undone. I truly want to change. With the help of God I | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| and eat it too. Unconsciously, most people constantly want to have it both ways, which brings them | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| maturity or emotional health means knowing what you want, wanting what you can have, and being willing | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| let us be clear about our aim. We want to find that part in you where you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| you do not quite know what you really want. Since you do not understand the reasons, when | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| be truly effective in getting what you consciously want. You need to understand your inner self, your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| love it wants is selfish; it does not want to share love with others, with brothers or | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| change the attitude in time. If you truly want to realize this all-important truth, you can protect | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| a negative sense. This is why all children want to be like other children and feel deeply | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| limited to certain realms of your life, you want to make up for the rebellion by conforming | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| escaping life and its hurts, as some people want to believe, by misinterpreting spiritual ideas. Quite the | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| one meeting was not sufficient. So you may want to meet together once more, until everything is | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| some way you wish to shortchange life. You want to get something the easy way, as a | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| crass form of sickness and comparatively rare. I want to look at the more subtle region of | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| recognize that I cannot change anything. Therefore, I want the world, my surroundings, my loved ones, God | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| circumstances over which I have no control. I want others to change. If I make my suffering | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| and separated way it is sinful, if you want to choose this word. And because of this | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| occur here or there, someone who does not want to see and change his outlook will never | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| examine yourself as to why you do not want to see the other's point. There is certainly | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| personality. Intuition comes from the superconscious, if you want to be technical about it. Intuition has the | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| to benefit others directly but because you just want to enjoy it, even this wish need not | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| is self- deception about your motives: why you want or do certain things. When you face squarely | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| something else. If you desire wealth because you want to be wealthy, it is not a means | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |

| you have the proper attitude toward life and want self-responsibility. Otherwise, hardship will not even be a | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| imperfections and inadequacies and, although you do not want to face them and come to terms with | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| it you will, for sure, if you really want to. If you observe your reactions in your | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| you cover it up quickly. You do not want to acknowledge that it exists in you. Your | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| way: Only if I can have what I want, the way I want it, and when I | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| can have what I want, the way I want it, and when I want it, can I | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| the way I want it, and when I want it, can I have happiness. I will be | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| end. And it is wrong further because you want to reach the goal of perfection right away | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| I were perfect, I would have what I want. Since I am not perfect, I am worth | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| another reaction. The personality cannot and does not want to assume the entire blame for the failure | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| way of the world giving me what I want would be removed. Therefore, it is 'their' fault | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| may just as well enjoy it. Furthermore, I want to alleviate the humiliation that the unhappiness is | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| find a hidden corner where you do not want to have a happy experience and so you | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| easily with the subject just discussed. Since you want happiness according to your idea, and life, or | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| have to be a god myself. Therefore, I want to be God. Why should I submit to | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| of being cruel if people do what I want. Therefore, I know better than God, and so | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| I know better than God, and so I want to assume rulership of my little universe. Now | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
