| actions that you must learn to bring under control by knowing truth. A similar confusion exists concerning | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| But this requires the labor of consciously taking control in choosing one's views and taking the risk | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| views and taking the risk of giving up control by standing alone and risk the disapproval of | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| self-centeredness and other-centeredness; as well as right, healthy control and letting go. When these two tendencies are | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| control. Consequently, the person fears being out of control. While spiritual teachings postulate that death is unnecessary | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| long as there is a fear of losing control, the individual must learn the ability to relinquish | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| consequently the greater the loss of the final control over destiny. The tight control one grabs at | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of the final control over destiny. The tight control one grabs at is a pseudo-control that merely | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| Human beings are not yet capable of immediate control over self and life. They still have to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| being is, in its highest evolutionary state, in control of his or her destiny, the ability to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| with these forces. When one refuses to relinquish control, it is out of fear and distrust. Thus | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| pleasure supreme. All these aspects -- eternal life, control over one's destiny, pleasure supreme -- are deeply | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| The advice to learn to let go of control implies to you that you have to release | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| have that which is most desirable. Giving up control -- the little selfwill -- will finally prove | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| you are constantly dependent on circumstances outside your control. Therefore you feel helpless. You feel like a | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| you know yourself, the more you are in control of your self. It is not, as you | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| numbness and a confusion about the execution of control. Why is evil numbness? When you think of | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| maintained. The second facet of evil relates to control. We have discussed the importance of relinquishing too | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| discussed the importance of relinquishing too tight a control and the failure to use those controls and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| It is obvious that helplessness and lack of control are very much connected. Since helplessness causes pain | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| it becomes clear that imbalance and lack of control are also connected with evil. On a broader | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| There is a considerable area where you have control. This area broadens to the extent that you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| real self is hidden from your outer awareness, control ends. It is then that you feel helpless | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| circumstances is the same when it comes to control. You have direct control over certain of your | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| when it comes to control. You have direct control over certain of your bodily functions. You can | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| all voluntary body functions are under the direct control of your outer ego. But there is a | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| inner bodily functions are not governed by outer control. This is frightening for you, because you do | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| same applies to psychic processes. You have indisputable control over a vast area of your actions, over | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| choice of thoughts. You seem to have no control over your spontaneous feeling reactions. This, too, can | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| power which I do not know and cannot control seems to be at work within me, how | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| very direct. You do not have any more control over the faculties of your inner body and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| occurrences governing your life. Unfathomable fate seems to control your inner body, your spontaneous reactions, and a | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| your inner faculties? Do you really have no control over them? Or can a connection be established | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| as between body and feelings. You have direct control over certain happenings. Your outer, direct will can | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| there is an area where this immediate, direct control ceases. Hence the relationships with your body, your | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| you also begin to see that a remote control seems to be at work, governing your fate | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| your outer life circumstances. You realize that your control expands. You experience how the areas where you | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| You experience how the areas where you lack control recede, and the new-found areas of control are | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| lack control recede, and the new-found areas of control are not under direct control but work by | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| new-found areas of control are not under direct control but work by remote control. This extension of | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| not under direct control but work by remote control. This extension of control does not, and cannot | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| but work by remote control. This extension of control does not, and cannot, happen through a rigid | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| happens instead by an indirect process of remote control, which eventually becomes direct. To be more specific | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| is true. You will see, at first, remote control working where there had been absolutely no intervention | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| there had been absolutely no intervention, connection, or control. And eventually remote control will turn into more | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| no intervention, connection, or control. And eventually remote control will turn into more direct control. At first | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| eventually remote control will turn into more direct control. At first, this cannot be more than a | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| into experienced reality. If you wish to exert control over areas inaccessible to your outer will -- | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| self that establishes what I have called remote control. This control begins to work more and more | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| establishes what I have called remote control. This control begins to work more and more as the | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| outer and inner self extends the areas of control. At first, this appears to be almost coincidental | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| was helplessly exposed, over which one had no control, becomes gradually visible as cause and effect operating | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| visible as cause and effect operating by remote control, as opposed to the direct control of outer | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| by remote control, as opposed to the direct control of outer faculties. And as development continues, remote | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| of outer faculties. And as development continues, remote control becomes more and more direct. Then inner and | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| faculties become one. And as this process continues, control -- when to let go of the outer | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| Regarding the physical functions that are beyond our control: is it this rage and anger, as well | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| a victim of fate, of powers outside one's control, one is likely to overlook the most obvious | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| the following suggestion for meditation. Let us combine control through the inner being with giving up the | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| fulfillment, like the limits you believe exist regarding control, are entirely arbitrary; they depend on your belief | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| fear that your negative emotions are going to control you, you forget that you have something to | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| You confuse this, my friends, with a false control you constantly exert over your guards to keep | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| self. When you misapply your energy you lose control over that part that could determine a fruitful | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| thereby letting go of the last vestiges of control over the secret in you, and meet yourself | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| more neurosis, and therefore more loss of healthy control over that in you which can be controlled | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| guilt, and helplessness. When you let your destructiveness control you, you move further and further away from | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| can change, without strain or unnatural exertion of control. It is up to you to change. Your | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| in God! 137. BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL Greetings, my dearest friends. There is a great | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| indwelling destructive entity, over which there is no control, were at work. You first ascribe negative events | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| unconscious, over which you seem to have no control. Here, too, you feel as though two separate | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| will try as hard as it can to control what it cannot control. This struggle causes more | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| as it can to control what it cannot control. This struggle causes more tension, anxiety, sense of | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| your path, you will observe this imbalance of control within your personality. Then you can correct it | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| problem. The reestablishment of the correct balance of control can best be demonstrated with the following example | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| and wants love. When a proper balance of control exists in this respect, you give of yourself | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you do not need to exert a tight control and pressure. You therefore cannot be owned or | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| contribute, does not therefore imply a loss of control. You are in the true sense of the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| in the true sense of the world self-determining. Control, in the best sense, is yours, without tightness | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| without tightness or fear. In distortion, in false control, you are again in an either/or situation. You | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| in the distorted version, is to possess and control the loved one completely. Hence the fear that | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| You rightfully doubt your power to own and control another person to the extent you believe it | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| -- and fear of not being able to control -- being loved -- lead to the false | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| It is the only real, relaxed and productive control. For this inner center can indeed solve all | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| until it seemed that you could no longer control it. But you can -- by the simple | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| major threshold, if you only use it. Use control the way I describe, instead of the way | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you can accelerate the process of development. False control strengthens the wall of separation. Eliminate this wall | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| cannot allow yourself the freedom and lack of control necessary for responding from within. Why is the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| be desperately avoided because it threatens to eliminate control. Without this control, your destructive aims could take | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| because it threatens to eliminate control. Without this control, your destructive aims could take over and threaten | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| could take over and threaten annihilation. Giving up control must appear as death, as the giving up | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| only in a negative context does loss of control lead to death or to a loss of | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| life, then you will not fear loss of control because loss of ego-control will lead to more | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| because loss of ego-control will lead to more control in a better, fuller, healthier sense. With a | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| This appears like an act which relinquishes direct control. But through this act more constructive powers deep | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| self forever more adequate and give it more control over life so it can determine its own | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| taking over and manifesting in destructive actions. Hence control seems necessary, a control that prevents union, prevents | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| in destructive actions. Hence control seems necessary, a control that prevents union, prevents free self-expression and relaxed | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| self-expression and relaxed, joyful living. The tighter the control, the greater the danger that this false inner | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| This explains the apparent paradox that giving up control leads to better control, while tightly holding on | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| paradox that giving up control leads to better control, while tightly holding on to control must finally | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| to better control, while tightly holding on to control must finally lead to the loss of control | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| control must finally lead to the loss of control. All great spiritual truths seem contradictory on the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| Can you elaborate on how holding on to control leads to loss of control? ANSWER: When the | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| holding on to control leads to loss of control? ANSWER: When the conflict exists because you believe | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| believe in me versus the other, a strong control must be exerted. You then say, I must | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| myself, for otherwise I will be damaged. Such control is based on a wrong conclusion, comes out | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| and therefore must be a damaging and limiting control. It puts shackles on your best faculties and | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| reaching and affecting you. While you exercise such control, the best in you cannot come out and | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| The best in others cannot reach you. The control in this case is a tight wall consisting | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| wall of errors and defenses. The stronger the control, the greater the wall, and the further one | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| life, the moment must come when you lose control and are therefore not capable of coping with | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| and cope with anything they encounter. Therefore, the control which prohibits people and guards them from life | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| from life must lead to a loss of control, to an inability to cope, in whatever fashion | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| and receiving. There can be no conflict of control. If you do not fear giving, you can | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| life by withholding from it. Hence, tight, anxious control becomes utterly superfluous. The control which prohibits your | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| Hence, tight, anxious control becomes utterly superfluous. The control which prohibits your giving your best must perforce | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| in the condition of hanging on to anxious control. I will leave you now with the request | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| negative exists, the more you will be in control of yourself, of life, and the less you | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| have consciously ignored until now. This lack of control makes you unable to imagine how to take | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| heartbeat or circulation, however, you have no direct control. The same difference between the two wills exists | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| can be regulated indirectly by using faculties you control with the direct will. When direct volition is | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| can the ego give up the direct, over-tight control with the outer will, which then becomes possible | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| of the ego faculties with their too tight control. All creative manifestations are the direct work of | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| strong in those life experiences where its strict control does not allow the ego to step aside | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| themselves from the burden of the too tight control. They cannot stand the state of overloading the | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| to create, to guide, and to be. Genuine control is not established in the soul through tight | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| negative bad luck. When you try to directly control the result itself, you must be wasting your | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| field into a positive. However, you can directly control all that which makes up the negative magnetic | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| and attitudes in this regard. You can directly control whether you wish either to continue the same | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| perpetuates it still further, letting go of outer control means giving this uncontrolled force free rein. From | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| happiness, why you fear letting go of outer control. But once the negative magnetic fields are known | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| go of the little ego with its tight control if there is no trust? And how can | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| true when they want to take too great control of the reins. The ego must neither be | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| and on circumstances often way beyond your actual control and therefore doomed to failure. This futile struggle | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| with what is as yet beyond your immediate control, whether or not it is according to your | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| do become a prey to circumstances beyond your control. Consequently, on one level, you often find yourself | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| a product of ego function, of direct ego control. Why is humanity bent on destroying, dominating, denying | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| first time -- that the overexertion of ego control and denial of involuntary processes create a tremendous | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the healthier they are to be, the more control they ought to exert over their involuntary processes | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| that this is a result of insufficient ego control, you try to increase rather than decrease it | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| once you let go of the sharp ego control? Unless you trust the involuntary processes, the exaggerated | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| you trust the involuntary processes, the exaggerated ego control cannot be relinquished and you can never convince | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| ideas that seem to threaten you. When ego control is too tight, such words may indeed seem | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| have to fight against too tight an ego control where reason and will crowd out the involuntary | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| would not occur to you to try to control and govern them by your outer reasoning processes | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| To return to this analogy, the attempt to control something that is not amenable to ego- control | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| control something that is not amenable to ego- control can only create imbalance, pressure, tension, anxiety, and | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| would be utter folly of the ego to control the functions that are not responsive to direct | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| as rigorously overcome as the rigor of ego control must be relinquished. This is how balance can | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| give in, if I let go of ego control, what will happen? My feelings may want something | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| I will lose my individuality, I will lose control. The good feelings seem to be even more | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| than the negative ones regarding the loss of control and individuality. The fear may exist that the | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| warrant the fear of letting go of ego control and trusting the flow of involuntary processes, of | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| this is what happens when one does not control oneself. I cannot afford to let go, I | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| once you stop pushing it away with ego control. When you begin to sense the richness and | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| death, fear of pleasure, fear of giving up control, fear of feelings -- fear of being, as | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| is never a product of circumstances beyond your control, or of causes beyond those you inwardly set | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| you are frightened of letting go of ego control because you believe the false idea that letting | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| person and feel that I can't remain in control when in this person's presence. I think the | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| swimming, nor is it safe. The water will control you, rather than support you. You must move | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| my friends. Whenever the ego is in predominant control of the business of living and the life | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| experiences I mentioned are dangerous because then ego control is abandoned, the self immersed into a vaster | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| why the person whose ego is in predominant control -- and therefore does not obtain sufficient relief | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| when all other avenues of relief from ego control fail, due to the personality's stubborn refusal and | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| fundamental cause of the condition of predominant ego control is that there is a lawfulness that makes | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
