| an individual starts out with the healthy and constructive direction. Let us take the following example, which | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| to a positive situation. I want to be constructive. I want to give my attention to this | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| Your outer mind can only issue such a constructive intent, and with that it sets up a | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| do not come from me because I am constructive. What I want is up to me. You | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| me. You will then experience that the more constructive your desires are, the freer you become and | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| exact proportion to your active desire to be constructive and to give up the pleasure that is | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| yet impossible to issue the desire to be constructive and positive, assert that this is where you | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| first, all your aims, desires and wishes -- constructive or not, no matter how unconscious until now | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| give up the destructiveness and turn to a constructive, inclusive, friendly attitude toward life and others. You | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |

| The same life force can flow in a constructive, positive, affirming way, or it can turn into | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| force as such, when untampered with, is totally constructive, totally positive and affirming. Therefore it produces total | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
