| difference in inner motivation between the urge for development because you use a whip on yourself -- | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you are imperfect -- and the urge for development because you freely wish it. Be blessed, all | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| This is the spiral movement of evolution and development. As you proceed, you will become aware of | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |

| truthfulness. Each one of you concerned with spiritual development and inner growth may pose the following questions | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |

| of the most damaging factors in the general development of the personality is the influence of deeply | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |

| instinctual drives will merely attune them to the development that you have otherwise achieved. Do not misunderstand | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |

| between ruling and being ruled. Their general, overall development was such that life was a question of | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
