| child is taught early that it is bad, wrong, and sinful to hate, particularly one's parents whom | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| varies. The compulsive desire for self-punishment due to wrong and ignorant conclusions exists in every human being | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| that not only does an image and a wrong conclusion exist within you, but that, in addition | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| who did not give it to you, were wrong. Thus the craving for love becomes more and | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| break it, but only after realizing where the wrong premises are. You will have to see that | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| habit-bound will do it. If you discover their wrong trends again and again, long after you have | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| you still live -- unconsciously -- with the wrong conclusion that if a dear one loves someone | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| All this is immature and based on entirely wrong conclusions. Only by lifting these emotional reactions into | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| them through, considering how and why they are wrong. When you face them -- their ignorance, selfishness | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| your subconscious will gradually reveal more and more wrong conclusions. Each act of recognition will help you | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| all the truth deep down. But all the wrong conclusions cover it up. By making them conscious | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| the only liberation possible, liberation from all your wrong conclusions, liberation from your compulsive high standards which | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| someone to blame for a real or supposed wrong done to you. The unhappier you become because | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| change. That does not mean you should accept wrong in a sick and masochistic way, wanting to | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| just to satisfy your guilt feelings. Accept another's wrong in a healthy attitude of realizing that the | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| in a healthy attitude of realizing that the wrong can never do you any harm in reality | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| only so long as you prevail in the wrong attitude. Every crisis, every breakdown, is caused by | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| crisis, every breakdown, is caused by a basic wrong attitude. You need never suffer a breakdown if | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| outer circumstances that lead to them, but your wrong attitude in such circumstances. In reality a breakdown | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| what it amounts to. But this is the wrong attitude. Self-will prevails to a strong degree when | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| the more your life force goes into the wrong channel, becoming destructive instead of creative and regenerating | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| right way. You seek within yourself in the wrong way; subtly you seek self-justification, and you go | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| is more harmful to the soul than a wrong opinion honestly reached. This may surprise you, but | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| show why it is better to have a wrong opinion if it is really your own than | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| people's opinions. Thus you see can how every wrong inner condition creates a vicious circle, apart from | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| But under no circumstances do you eliminate possibly wrong desires by conforming outwardly, by adopting the opposite | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| ANSWER: You certainly did misunderstand. There is nothing wrong with saying about as many subjects as you | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| that you did not study. There is nothing wrong in that. Only if it becomes a pattern | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| feelings. Having performed a right act out of wrong motives, you will think the proper change is | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| think the proper change is to do the wrong thing out of the right motive, because then | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| though you cannot love yet. To do the wrong act is being no more true to yourself | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| is compulsive know a right action from a wrong one? ANSWER: In many instances it is not | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| You are still so involved in your own wrong conclusions and your irrational impressions that you are | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| you personally. Is your soul impregnated with similar wrong concepts? If and when a growing human being | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| cheated, one's own life-plan cannot be cheated, this wrong attitude will produce conflicts, and therefore fear will | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| will be generated by a chain reaction of wrong thinking, feeling, and action. An inner confusion will | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| you have to become fully conscious of the wrong concept. That is not as easily or quickly | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| On the other hand, you should not allow wrong conclusions and images, rising to the surface due | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| sometimes the case. Realize that the hitherto suppressed wrong concepts and ideas have to evolve clearly into | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| accomplished by constant observation and comparison of the wrong and the right concept. Observe also your resistance | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| cannot see even factually that this conviction is wrong, the remedy is in finding in your own | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| has happened to them. They focus on how wrong others are. This should and can be recognized | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| handicaps is your guilt feeling, or rather your wrong attitude toward guilt. To understand that, it might | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| you are afraid to face them, then this wrong attitude has to be worked on first, because | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| selfishness, is nothing but a misunderstanding and a wrong conclusion in itself. Your fear often makes you | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| automatically. Emotionally, you are somehow bound to a wrong concept, and it stands in your way. As | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| your subconscious may believe, but it is your wrong use of the powerful current at your disposal | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| have the courage to face it without the wrong kind of guilt feelings -- and you should | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| contributes to separateness and is of itself a wrong conclusion; therefore a falsity, an illusion; therefore away | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| taking it to an extreme that must be wrong. This distortion usually happens quite deliberately, although unconsciously | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| but you cannot force fear away through the wrong kind of practice of detachment. You can reach | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| and find the right middle way between these wrong extremes. At one extreme is the person who | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| chooses with his free will to commit a wrong, and I am affected by it, how do | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| fault. If you are free of images, illusions, wrong conclusions and wrong concepts, the wrong deeds of | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| are free of images, illusions, wrong conclusions and wrong concepts, the wrong deeds of others can never | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| images, illusions, wrong conclusions and wrong concepts, the wrong deeds of others can never affect you. You | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| distorted, healthy self-love will be distorted as well. Wrong kind of self-love exists in many forms. The | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| rather for that in you which causes the wrong kind of self-love. There must always be a | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| how much you know that the distortion is wrong, the knowledge is actually of no benefit. You | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| find out in what way you have the wrong kind of self-love. Until you discover all the | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| direction. In other words, you unconsciously seek the wrong remedy. For the lack of self-respect -- the | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| healthy way. You no longer will need the wrong kind of self-love that in the last analysis | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| giving up such bargains. There exists also another wrong kind of self-love, whose existence is much more | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| the fear and guilt caused by the possible wrong one that you may find along with it | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| it. You can never forcefully tear out the wrong reaction, once you have detected it. You could | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| or another. For whenever there is such a wrong form of self-love, rejection, imagined or real, must | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| at the other pole of the current of wrong self-love. When you can find out where you | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| way is sinful. This belief is just as wrong as the sick kind of self-love. In none | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| of the misconception that to love yourself is wrong. Therefore, distinguish between the sick and the healthy | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| on the other causes fluctuation between the two wrong extremes. People cannot find a way out as | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| assume that something advantageous for them is automatically wrong. Yet it may and may not be so | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| when you cannot choose between obvious right and wrong, good and evil, white and black. Decisions can | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| saying that both are the result of the wrong form of self-love. As far as egocentricity is | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| again we have a case of seeking the wrong remedy. For such artificial means, sought in ignorance | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| self- righteous judgement of another person's sickness is wrong. Yet the other extreme is always so close | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| whole. If an entity does not eliminate the wrong psychological factors, he or she may again go | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| see what you can learn instead of how wrong the other person is, forgetting your own little | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| -- they are living in error. Something is wrong. For the only way to find the true | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to the other. Knowing that one extreme is wrong, one wants to believe that the other extreme | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a decision is a decision too, although a wrong or unfavorable one. It is God's will that | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Even if occasionally my decisions will turn out wrong, I act according to my best ability, trying | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| what it amounts to -- is just as wrong as self-willed actions in which one just goes | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| black or white. God's motives always mingle with wrong or sick ones. Certainly, a true desire to | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your decisions, whether they turn out right or wrong. It is inevitable in every human being's life | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| in every human being's life to make some wrong decisions, but you should certainly learn from them | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your personal images which are the result of wrong childish conclusions: they remain that way because they | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and quite destructive sex force manifested in the wrong way in many individuals. Observing this, they came | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| many individuals. Observing this, they came to the wrong conclusion and chose the wrong remedy. The opposite | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| came to the wrong conclusion and chose the wrong remedy. The opposite extreme is always the wrong | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| wrong remedy. The opposite extreme is always the wrong remedy and much nearer the extreme one wants | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that sex is good or bad, right or wrong, than to say electricity is good or bad | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| say electricity is good or bad, right or wrong. It depends entirely on what you make of | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| developed within that sex was sinful. Your unconscious wrong conclusions, plus your guilt and fear, caused your | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| false piety by suffering the consequences of your wrong actions, thoughts, or emotions, without trying to find | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| destructive force by ignorantly using it in the wrong way. This is the rebirth and the resurrection | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| does it amount to? It means that your wrong thinking, your wrong trends and attitudes, your twisted | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to? It means that your wrong thinking, your wrong trends and attitudes, your twisted emotions that have | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of forward, holding up progress, going in the wrong direction; it stands for dishonesty, hypocrisy, cowardice, avarice | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| it. Both decisions happen unconsciously out of your wrong conclusions. So find out where you deviate from | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| realize that the direction you have taken is wrong and bitter and dark. Therefore you will have | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| state. Besides, the very momentum of your motion, wrong as it has been so far, will make | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| still. In your predicament you remain under the wrong impression that no change is possible. Of course | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| only concern themselves with their own problems. This wrong attitude, as well as the quoted objection are | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| it is the highest form. Intuition is never wrong. An instinct can be wrong. It can be | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| Intuition is never wrong. An instinct can be wrong. It can be harmful, it can come from | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| Where is the misconception? There must be a wrong conclusion somewhere. You will probably find the wrong | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| wrong conclusion somewhere. You will probably find the wrong conclusion that to receive means to be humiliated | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| is to find where the misconception is, the wrong idea. There must be one. Tonight, on this | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |
| the stronger your conscience becomes, and it registers wrong motives very accurately. Thus the conscience puts prohibitive | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| Because, as I said, the more unconscious the wrong motives, the more powerful the prohibition is. Or | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| self-punishing and self-destructive forces, put in motion by wrong motives, affect not so much the financial, but | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| a negative force, emanating from confusion, ignorance, and wrong motives. Your personality registers extremely accurately all desires | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| is there in the unconscious. If you have wrong and confused motives that are self-serving and cause | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| deep within yourself you know there is something wrong with your wish and therefore you say to | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| in the eyes of others. You see, a wrong and harmful motive in a desire need not | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| brought forth by the psyche the moment a wrong motive is registered, may affect another wish- fulfillment | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| the hesitation and the uncertainty. Self-punishment for hidden wrong motives is only one reason that prohibits your | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| be healthy and will help you avoid further wrong impressions about God, fate, and life. You will | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| yourself along these lines, you will also find wrong, impure, selfish, and unhealthy motives in your desires | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| you -- or who you think have. This wrong motive, which you may be unaware of, will | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| these feelings. In other words, you seek the wrong remedy in blindness, ignorance, and immaturity. You can | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| in one of those famous vicious circles: the wrong motive makes you feel even more inferior. Then | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| order to eliminate this feeling, you strengthen the wrong motive, believing that more of the same might | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| guilty. This is most destructive; it is very wrong, my friends. It is a complete misunderstanding. I | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| to yourself, Yes, these motives or attitudes are wrong, in further honesty you will know that you | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| only the honesty to see that there are wrong motives and attitudes in you, but also the | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| about yourself depresses you, there must be something wrong in your attitude. Then bring the problem to | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| inferior. Needless to say that this is a wrong conclusion and not a conscious thought, but an | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| feel a need for pride? Because of the wrong conclusion of the image I have just explained | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |

| loose of the bondage, but it chooses the wrong way to go about it. You believe you | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| why you think you need it. Crystallize the wrong conclusion. Once you get that far, you will | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| particular conviction you have just unearthed. Right or wrong, find out why you are convinced of it | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
