| I thought it is more difficult if a wrong conclusion goes so far that it is in | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |

| the chain reactions set in motion by a wrong concept of happiness. The desire for happiness is | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| him for the rest of his life. All wrong concepts are distortions and misunderstandings of the right | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| misunderstandings of the right concept. Happiness in the wrong concept is expressed in the following way: Only | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| strive for perfection, this kind of striving is wrong. It is wrong because of the motive. Here | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| this kind of striving is wrong. It is wrong because of the motive. Here you do not | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| but seek a selfish end. And it is wrong further because you want to reach the goal | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| you need in order to be happy. The wrong concept of happiness inevitably causes a wrong concept | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| The wrong concept of happiness inevitably causes a wrong concept of love as well. Let me recapitulate | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| love as well. Let me recapitulate briefly the wrong concept of happiness: I can only be happy | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| let us consider the concept of love. The wrong concept of love, inherent in the wrong concept | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| The wrong concept of love, inherent in the wrong concept of happiness, is as follows: If I | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| more impossible to find happiness according to the wrong concept, the only one he knows. Instead of | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| of finding the right way by changing the wrong concept into the right one, the personality only | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| the tide, trying to force life into the wrong concept. When this proves impossible, another way out | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| in the superconscious memory, but is distorted by wrong motivations, by misunderstood basic principles, and by unrealistic | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| that you cannot even admit to the slightest wrong. You fight and fight against any such admissions | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |

| of going through life concentrating on the apparent wrong of the other person that you feel victimized | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |

| that the unconscious aim is based on a wrong conclusion, they will be cured of this disease | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| That is the ideal time to find the wrong conclusions, and reactions, to analyze them, to make | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you are much less aware of emotions indicating wrong conclusions. Therefore you have less of a chance | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| beings have inner problems and imperfections, images and wrong concepts. They manifest at times very strongly. Those | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the imperfections of a teaching, a doctrine, a wrong method being practiced by, let us say, a | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| weak and in need of help. And the wrong help can make us mentally or physically even | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| way. An outer influence may temporarily fortify a wrong concept, just as other influences in life constantly | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| honesty, no teaching, method or influence can encourage wrong inner concepts any longer. In other words, the | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| here because the word predetermination puts an entirely wrong slant on the issue. What I say has | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| dear, your question is based on so many wrong premises that it is hard to even begin | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| behind the layers of pseudo-protection which are always wrong solutions to life. Once the real person is | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| inner will is impeded because of the images, wrong conclusions, and misconceptions you carry in your conscious | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| because deep inside you know that something is wrong. Although you will feel it but vaguely, you | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| and self-finding. The vague feeling of something being wrong makes you altogether uncertain even about your desires | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| else. Since you were taught that it is wrong to be selfish, you feel you must suppress | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| be happy, while in reality it is your wrong conclusion about happiness that is the cause. In | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| part of every human being. The usual and wrong way to handle this is to suppress it | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| to some extent in all human beings. This wrong conclusion accounts for the utter hopelessness you so | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| try to get out of it in the wrong way. The irony is that you try to | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| so receive the proof that your conclusion was wrong. It becomes self-evident that this conflict frustrates your | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| Let us now examine why this concept is wrong. I am addressing that part of your personality | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| rules to determine whether actions are right or wrong when they appear to be against the interests | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| exists because of this misconception. Because of these wrong conclusions, your inner will cannot function, cannot flow | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| which they now act out, going from one wrong extreme to another. In such cases the person | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| case. You do not have to choose the wrong alternative now, simply because in the past you | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| you performed the right actions out of the wrong motives. You can, if you wish, continue to | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| made the free choice myself, knowing all these wrong motives, but at the same time desiring to | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |

| fact that this is one of those typical wrong conclusions you will often find in the unconscious | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| It is of tremendous importance to find such wrong conclusions in the unconscious mind. Many of you | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| creation there is only one question: right or wrong, truth or untruth, light or darkness. From our | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| way, I will receive proof. There is nothing wrong with the doubt itself, however, it is of | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Of course, you will find it is a wrong conclusion, a misconception. Only when you realize fully | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a weakness that is the result of a wrong conclusion. By betraying yourself -- the best part | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| discover that this concept, often unconscious, is a wrong one. God's way works to your immediate, direct | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| accumulate to form the images -- the petrified wrong conclusions -- and establish the patterns of the | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| can be eliminated only by recognizing the basic wrong conclusion with all its chain reactions and ramifications | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| not as weak as the undesirable one. Your wrong conclusions in this respect may be manifold. It | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| respect may be manifold. It may be completely wrong that the rejecter is strong, while the loving | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| be somewhat as you see it. Then the wrong conclusion is that it is not love that | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| its simplest terms, is based on the following wrong conclusion: Love is weakness; withholding love and affection | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| only emulate the person who corresponds to your wrong concept of strength, but you also betray the | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| you will find your self-betrayal. By finding the wrong concepts and then, little by little, adopting the | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| the second place, the first impression, causing the wrong conclusion, is much stronger, infinitely more powerful, than | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| you make a compromise by retaining the original wrong conclusion: I must not love, I must not | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| clearly and without a doubt that it was wrong to have thought that you have to hide | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| have a limited value and truth, like the wrong conclusions of the soul made by the child | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| as it may be. Nevertheless, these conclusions are wrong and unrealistic if applied as a general truth | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| reality where these same deductions and conclusions are wrong. Sin, as you all know, is nothing but | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| degree. When you find and dissolve your own wrong conclusions, nothing will any longer prevent you from | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| that was selfish and unloving because of the wrong conclusions. Where you have found and removed the | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |

| It is evident that destructive tendencies, based on wrong conclusions in the unconscious, prohibit the unfolding of | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |

| this way of measuring your progress is very wrong and can be most harmful. When you are | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| You see with ever greater clarity what the wrong assumptions are and what, in theory, the right | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| the path. They are the result of your wrong reactions, maybe from the past, but only manifesting | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| path, your difficulties will cease is just as wrong as the idea that because you are on | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| difficulties than you would otherwise have are totally wrong. When you gain clarity on this subject, you | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| whether it is self- will or any other wrong conclusion or erroneous tendency. But sometimes the deviations | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| be loved, the human being often chooses a wrong way. This is so partly because the longing | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| a desire for exclusive and limitless love is wrong; therefore it feels guilty about it. It is | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| limitless love is unrealistic, its desire immature. The wrong conclusion of this lies in thinking that desire | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| thinking that desire for love in itself is wrong. The right conclusion would be to feel, The | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| type of love I wanted so far is wrong; it cannot be. But I have a right | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| know that. You believe deep down, It is wrong for me to seek to be loved. I | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| lovable. If you were to give up this wrong way of searching, you would realize that the | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| circle would be broken. Now, what is this wrong way? You substitute for your desire to be | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| giving freedom to others not only to be wrong, or to disagree with you, or to have | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
