| In fact, my introductory words to this lecture demonstrate this on the level of humanity's psyche. You | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| should like to take a common situation to demonstrate this point. Let us assume you are tired | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |

| Such a fight makes transcendence impossible. Let me demonstrate this in a familiar everyday human problem, so | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| Let us now return to our example and demonstrate how this is so. The more you prove | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| must follow these principles. Breath and pulsation obviously demonstrate this truth. All this is observable on the | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| the correct balance of control can best be demonstrated with the following example. Each human being needs | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| you have an exact example of what I demonstrated in this lecture. It is wonderful that it | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
