| you first in your emotions, then, when a wrong condition persists long and strong enough, eventually also | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| by bit, while you continue to observe your wrong reactions. This constant process, if performed without impatience | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this change cannot happen so quickly because your wrong reactions have too long been accustomed to function | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| that the hidden voice of your guilt is wrong. Find the emptiness within you due to your | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| have you really and truly? When things go wrong, test your emotions. As you analyze these feelings | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| ideal love often appears deceptively similar to the wrong, weak submissiveness which poses as love. It is | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| do not know for certain, I may be wrong, this willingness to learn from possible mistakes makes | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| it is so easy to go from one wrong extreme to the other. The best way of | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| in Scripture is due to translations on a wrong and superficial level. But the deeper reasons, why | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |

| your innermost conflicts which make you adopt the wrong attitude to the actual problem that confronts you | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| neither genuine nor healthy, for it is a wrong extreme. To be fruitful and bring real results | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| a strain, that is fine. There is nothing wrong in that. I never said that you should | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| to what the values are? We use the wrong yardstick. Instead of measuring and discriminating, we are | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| become the tool with which to correct the wrong attitudes which create both the inner and the | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| outer appearances. Use your findings, your images and wrong conclusions. Try to crystallize out of them any | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| cannot work it out yourself. That is all wrong. Since you have brought about your confusion at | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| that you are right and the other is wrong, the more the energy of your self-will will | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| often a search for self-expression, channeled in the wrong way, or a longing for self- assertion, also | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |
| longing for self- assertion, also channeled in the wrong way. It is blind searching, as opposed to | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| moralizing, and without evaluating the right and the wrong, the good and the bad from an ethical | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| innermost conflicts. When you recognize your misconceptions and wrong conclusions as compared with reality and fact, and | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| to change and remain the same in some wrong and destructive ways. Truly, you have nothing to | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| your ignorance, confusion, lack of awareness, or the wrong perspective on the real meaning of life. With | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| That expectation is, of course, utterly unrealistic and wrong as long as you are incarnated as a | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| and this alone proves that the direction is wrong and must be changed. The results of changing | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |
| a feeling of greater protection. This is all wrong. The fact that you produce the condition that | 75 THE GREAT TRANSITION IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM ISOLATION TO UNION |

| you try to force or defend against these wrong conclusions, are unreal. All the impulses and drives | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| world of illusion, in a world based on wrong assumptions. That is why, whenever your intuitive nature | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| you know two alternatives, which are both equally wrong. The one is, I can be happy only | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| become hostile to them. This only strengthens their wrong conclusions. They do not see that they have | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| one is haphazard. It may be right or wrong, but you remain insecure. It is an unnatural | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |
| implication. It does not mean: If you do wrong, you will be punished by retribution. It means | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Out of this evasion, you create conflicts and wrong attitudes which result in bringing more misery than | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| insights. They will guard you from drawing the wrong conclusion that your love is rejected and that | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |

| You moralize with yourself. You find yourself bad, wrong, even though you may not consciously admit to | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |
| does not make them all bad and all wrong. The work on this path now calls for | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| believe, mistakenly, that certain needs are forbidden and wrong, and thus defend against these needs in yourself | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| prevails due to the belief that they are wrong, they freeze into a hard knot. In such | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| combined with frustration then confirms that you are wrong in having the need. Awareness is driven even | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| healthy fighting spirit -- then there is something wrong that is most harmful for you. You cling | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| only easier to narrow the gap between the wrong reactions that derive from the negative condition and | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| but it also indicates a more deeply rooted wrong attitude about life and your role in it | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| religion I discussed recently. It leads to the wrong concept of God. If you reread that lecture | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |

| So we have to deal with the various wrong conclusions and pseudo-solutions which constitute the main image | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |

| conclusion. Striving for success is not in itself wrong. It may be a waste of too much | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| in itself, it is not based on a wrong assumption. Therefore it will work out. The claim | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| main image, you now reject because of the wrong conclusion you have formed. If the man in | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
