| that in one way or another are always connected with fear. The borderline between passive numbness and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| existence of evil. Any such overreaction must be connected with the numbness that, in some respect, has | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| helplessness and lack of control are very much connected. Since helplessness causes pain, pain causes numbness, and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| that imbalance and lack of control are also connected with evil. On a broader scale, helplessness is | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| Not being aware of the life-center is directly connected with not being aware of the negative causes | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| nothing to do with you. You will be connected both with the negative causes you had not | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| undesirable present situation -- but have not yet connected this lack with their own innermost causes. Still | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| within the nucleus of the self is directly connected with a deliberate misconception about one's personal life | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| of opposing the alternative itself. This is directly connected with relinquishing what one insists upon to the | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| expressing your desire, but also where you are connected with a persisting negativity. There must be a | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| winner is possible; later, that it is inextricably connected with decency. This will be so because you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| to the refusal to love in certain respects connected specifically with those problems. When you recognize this | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| negative power becomes so unbearable that the feelings connected with it are numbed altogether. When human beings | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| even come to feel this indentation, which is connected with too tightly held convictions, too intense and | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| the contrary. The intensity I discuss is always connected with impairment of integrity, dishonesty on some level | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| to love. As long as you are not connected with that part of yourself, you cannot be | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| with that part of yourself, you cannot be connected with the life processes, with reality, with universal | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| exclusively with the ego, but when you are connected and identified with the real self, with the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |

| real self, pleasure supreme, and life are directly connected. Therefore whoever fears letting go of the ego | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| else. When you do so you are not connected with the causes and processes within the self | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| mind. To express the thought that humanity is connected with the universal mind does not properly convey | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| this might imply that two different things are connected. This is misleading, for the two are not | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| topic of this lecture. Both these facets are connected with one another, they are interdependent. Your highly | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| and concepts, one overlapping the other, all mysteriously connected. When you are in harmony with life because | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |

| human beings have, they are at least indirectly connected with your masculinity or your femininity. The expression | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| would like to begin tonight another topic, directly connected with what I said here, on which we | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| These are the basic energy centers. Each is connected with a mental attitude. Each center determines certain | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |

| you pay. Doing so, you will become experientially connected with the cause of your negative creation and | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| and physical health are all intricately and intimately connected. Now let us consider the obstructions to pleasure | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| Fear of pleasure is, to a large degree, connected with the problem of dealing with others and | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| and spiritually valid relationship must always be deeply connected with personal growth. The moment a relationship is | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |

| They are always, in one way or another, connected with a perpetuation of needs once real, which | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| flow again; the physical feelings have to be connected with the soul movements, the inner attitudes, and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
