| but the others may still be present. The danger is that your rationalizations -- the way you | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| more successful you are, the graver is the danger that you are hiding your true motives. I | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |

| Giving up Utopia seems to you the greatest danger and you stem against it with all the | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |

| that life and love are no longer in danger, as personal slights lose their importance. It can | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| in return. This way of loving bears no danger. In it, you remain free. You do not | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| and others, loving will cease to be a danger for you. But as long as you deliberately | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| loving all the more, although there seems no danger to you in being loved. Letting go of | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| the child in you rejects it as unknown danger. The fear of the unknown makes humans distort | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| law working, and it will not be a danger to you. The inflexible or fixed rule or | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| this: If you are in some kind of danger, your reaction to fear is healthy. It is | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| do something about it, to save yourself from danger. In other words, it is constructive rather than | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |

| that is right. QUESTION: If there is a danger that people might think somebody who has an | 76 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Compiled from Private Sessions and Earlier Lectures) |

| and safeguard life. It is concerned with avoiding danger and securing safety. In a state of health | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| loved, admired, approved of or agreed with, the danger is unreal. In a recent lecture I mentioned | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| creates anxiety. The child sense an atmosphere of danger. In that instant the instinct of self-preservation starts | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| starts to work. In order to ward off danger, the personality assumes certain inner and outer behavior | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| to risk. But such risk is the very danger that you feel you must avoid at all | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| minor rejection, criticism, or disapproval as such drastic danger that they will again quickly withdraw either into | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |

| not only love and pleasure, but protection from danger as well. They do not recognize that such | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |
| person. This is your way of coping with danger, which is why the strong submissive attitude was | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| becomes to tell you the truth without the danger of reinforcing in you the tendency to succumb | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| even name but take for granted. Then the danger is that an unconscious resolution will be formed | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| process with the excuse that there is a danger in overexertion and overeating would be foolish and | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| soon discover the fallacy that there is a danger in becoming aware of and expressing childish emotions | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| aware of and expressing childish emotions. There is danger only if you let them get out of | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| not enough to say that there is no danger in such a constructive activity: it is the | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| it is the only way to alleviate the danger of your insecurity and of your pretense which | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| emotions can be detected, it will alleviate any danger of negative emotions taking on a power that | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| be directed to and concentrated on this one danger. In order to deal with an urgent issue | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| the purpose of focusing your faculties on the danger point, to heighten the speed of the appropriate | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| of your perception. When you are in real danger, this is good and important, for otherwise, with | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| the better way to deal with the particular danger. In an average life, such actual dangers occur | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| works only in those rare instances. After the danger is over and your system goes back to | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| your nature, when you are in actual realistic danger, all your mental faculties will automatically concentrate -- | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| and wisdom, except those that deal with the danger of the moment, and with protecting yourself. All | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| this reaction happens in isolated moments of actual danger, it is good and purposeful. When the actual | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| is good and purposeful. When the actual, realistic danger is over, you can return to normal, and | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| have nothing to do with protecting yourself from danger. However, if you are constantly, or often, in | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| often, in a psychological state of warding off danger and attack at a time when there is | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| at a time when there is actually no danger of attack, the development of your mental faculties | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| system is geared to ward off an imaginary danger and to defend yourself from it. Thus the | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| Thus the same processes are operative when the danger is imaginary as when you are in actual | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| is imaginary as when you are in actual danger. In actual danger, your heightened perception makes you | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| when you are in actual danger. In actual danger, your heightened perception makes you decide whether to | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| fright of being exposed to the possibility of danger. You live in a constant state of war | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| only necessary in the rare instances of actual danger, but extremely damaging and limiting when there is | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| damaging and limiting when there is no such danger. The emotional side of your nature, when faced | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| side of your nature, when faced with actual danger, feels only fright and anger. In the rare | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| and anger. In the rare instances of real danger, it is good that this is so, because | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| defend yourself would be absent. However, when the danger is over, the normal and integrated person can | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| be under attack. You think there is a danger to your safety. Thus you immediately repress the | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| as it may have been, is no real danger and does not call for elaborate defenses, infinitely | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| only defend against hurt as a supposed mortal danger, but also against frustration of your will, and | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| very nature, is a process of warding off danger. When the process is used for actual danger | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| danger. When the process is used for actual danger, it is meaningful; when it is not, your | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| which were originally destined to meet a specific danger are used in other situations, the human psyche | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| side of your nature as you face actual danger, it again is necessary that your capacity of | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| affection, understanding, and compassion. Therefore in moments of danger you withdraw into yourself, gathering your forces for | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| not your immediate concerns. In moments of actual danger such positive feelings would be detrimental. When the | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| such positive feelings would be detrimental. When the danger is over you go back to feeling all | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| person may ordinarily be, in moments of acute danger the creativity is temporarily suspended and returns only | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| is temporarily suspended and returns only after the danger is over. When you are more or less | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| or frustration, any criticism or rejection is a danger you must guard against, you limit the range | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| While you defend yourself unnecessarily because no actual danger exists, you are releasing poisonous substances into your | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| yourself with your busy defense against an unreal danger. Actual dangers in which you need all your | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| more you use the instinctual faculties for unreal danger the less they will work effectively and spontaneously | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| be remedied by bolstering the defenses for real danger. That will not work. However, your defenses will | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| to eliminate the unreal defense against an unreal danger. Such dangers are emotional hurt, rejection, frustration of | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| true, half-true, or untrue, you feel in mortal danger. If you translate your emotional reactions to such | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| see that your feelings say, I am in danger. Now, let us examine the truth of the | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| way, as imperfect as you. The supposed mortal danger you are compelled to ward off is often | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| cannot bear. So, to ward off the imaginary danger, you use all your defense mechanisms to preserve | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| When it comes to real dangers, the real danger is the truth of the moment, but when | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| point as you defend yourself against an imaginary danger. In this state a vital part of life | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| can happen to you; you are not in danger. QUESTION: But what if we get annoyed at | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| you will be able to cope with a danger through healthy defense. Often when the two defenses | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| said about the lie is also a realistic danger? ANSWER: Yes, it could be. I said that | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| there is no striving, therefore there is no danger of confusion and suffering. Take the lowest stage | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |
| There are many religious systems which realize the danger of the mind. They try to eliminate mind | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |

| fear of being wrong, due to the unfounded danger that the growth experienced was illusory. I close | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| Children are dependent for nourishment, for protection against danger, for shelter. But the subtle bodies have their | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| strives for nonfulfillment, pain, and deprivation. The great danger falsely believed to be unavoidable seems less threatening | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| consciousness. Therefore, when spiritual spheres are discussed, the danger is that people begin to think of them | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| create the barriers to loving and its apparent danger. These two tendencies make the human heart so | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |

| of your character structure without incurring the past danger of closing the door through your damaging moralizing | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| deep within yourself you fear pleasure as a danger, you must ask yourself, Where am I not | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |

| conviction that frustration is pain and perhaps even danger makes you react in a way that actually | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
