one could fall prey to believing that this destructive self is the ultimate, sad reality. For a 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)

the price to be paid for the present destructive attitudes. The third phase is the reorientation and 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)
phase is the reorientation and reeducation of the destructive part of the self. What I will say 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)
toward a renewed suppression or repression of the destructive part that is beginning to unfold. You have 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)
aim to avoid this, without, however, allowing the destructive part to engulf you. The best attitude toward 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)

are not fully aware of the damage the destructive part of you does to your life when 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)

unfolding destructive infant does more damage than the destructive infant itself. You must learn to listen to 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)
ego to assert its benign dominion over violently destructive and stagnant psychic matter. As I have said 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)
just as it was necessary for making the destructive side conscious and exploring its deeper meaning. Reeducation 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF)

of first questioning your hidden wrong assumptions and destructive reactions when anything unwelcome comes your way, and 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS
the deep problem of how to handle the destructive forces residing within themselves and others. This problem 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
opposite forces: a constructive one opposed to a destructive one: good opposed to evil. The moment you 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
begin to negate, deny, evade, repress whatever is destructive in you. Consequently, you are partly unaware of 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
within you as having power to make the destructive force disappear, your meditation and request for help 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
even fake, because they refuse to tackle the destructive elements in themselves. But what is even more 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
change. The price of recognizing and accepting the destructive, evil aspect of the self seems high, but 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
until you find a way to accept your destructive impulses and desires without condoning them; to understand 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
help in awakening and maintaining awareness of these destructive aspects and of the proper method to handle 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
arises from denial and fear of your own destructive attitudes, and your ignorance about how to handle 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
has either been channelled in a truly undesirable, destructive way, or become frozen and stagnant. Articulate clearly 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE

How can pride, selfwill or fear be more destructive than, say, hate? The answer to such questions 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
to such questions is really simple. The overtly destructive attitudes are never the real evil. If you 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
on all these counts. It is never a destructive impulse itself that presents the real damage and 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
disposal. The key is learning to encounter the destructive force so that you can transform it back 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
is so typical. You negate everything about your destructive impulse. You are thus confronted with an insoluble 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE
contact with the evil of their previously hidden destructive side. Conversely, if there is a rift between 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW

procedure is the following: those negative attitudes and destructive thoughts and feelings that always negate the truth 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
negative experience is blind contraction with its accompanying destructive emotions and thoughts. More specifically, the personality invariably 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
are unaware of the disturbances within yourself, the destructive thoughts and feelings. In this new way the 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
is one common denominator -- you fear the destructive and demonic aspects of temporary, distorted parts of 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
in its separation, cannot reconcile itself to these destructive aspects. It cannot, it does not know how 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
accept them. It fears being overwhelmed by the destructive energies just because it has never accepted them 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
that makes you unwilling to face the irrational, destructive aspects of yourself. This brings me to the 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
affect your surroundings when you operate from the destructive level of your being. How do you affect 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
you affected by others who act from their destructive levels? This very complicated and extremely important topic 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
to be; thus you become angrier and more destructive. Even if it does not manifest in overt 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
must consider whether the hidden tendency to be destructive can leave your actions totally unaffected. I just 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
can further discuss the mutual interaction on the destructive levels between human beings, this question must be 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
to realize that your guilt for your primitive destructive self is more destructive than the evil part 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
guilt for your primitive destructive self is more destructive than the evil part itself. You must accept 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
guilt you annihilate yourself and thus become more destructive. You prohibit yourself from living. Nevertheless, your thoughts 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
suffering by looking for your own distortions and destructive tendencies, you liberate yourself from guilt regardless of 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
Concentrating on the ills of others is a destructive act in itself and makes it impossible to 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
how you both affect one another from your destructive levels. Then you truly share the responsibility. This 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
face your evil -- your irrationality and primitive, destructive aspects -- without losing sight of the fact 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
you. If you completely identify with your hidden destructive part, it is impossible to live and assume 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
life is the honest acknowledgment of your primitive, destructive part. This key will make you capable of 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
unsuccessful because you have learned to face your destructive self. Your freedom may sometimes cause resentments, but 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED
