| coming from such insight, prevail, there is no difficulty of communication. Even with people in the body | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |

| a person assume a habit and then have difficulty shedding it because it has become a habit | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |

| you go through a difficult period, that the difficulty is not caused by this work, but by | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| who attains a deep understanding will have no difficulty seeing the truth. I suggest you bring personal | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| prevalent loneliness of so many people, for their difficulty in communicating. Humans believe that they react to | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |

| what way you have caused a specific hardship, difficulty, or void. When such meditation is used, you | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| this experience is attached to a negative condition, difficulty and frustration must follow. The question is often | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| for creative growth. You cannot emerge from any difficulty if you trust the outer mind exclusively. Let | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| at themselves. When you have overcome a specific difficulty and resistance, you find that your fears were | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| life experience denote not only failure, but pressure, difficulty, wrong timing, and frustration. Things do not work | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| then come to see that, finally, the outer difficulty is a symbolic representation of your inner quarrel | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| the state of activity represents a chore, a difficulty you fear you cannot live up to and | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| pain you feel in your surface consciousness. The difficulty of ridding yourself of destructiveness is, of course | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| But these reasons do not constitute the deepest difficulty in dissolving negativity. It is necessary to sense | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| all circumstances at all times, whatever the momentary difficulty may be, fear of the good life must | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| on certain aspects of your being, and each difficulty and hardship requests something from you. It contains | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| The latter is stark illusion, for meeting the difficulty cannot really be avoided. It must reappear, in | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| come. A recurrent condition elicits, again and again, difficulty, crisis, disharmony, destructive feelings. These are the experiences | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| it manifests, how one covers it up. The difficulty here is that these forces, these cruel impulses | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you may totally lack self-assertion. Your inability or difficulty to healthily assert yourself is a direct result | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| difficult and laborious -- nothing else. Thus, the difficulty is not actual. The question is how you | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| The next link in this chain reaction is difficulty in asserting oneself, difficulty in taking one's inherent | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| this chain reaction is difficulty in asserting oneself, difficulty in taking one's inherent rights as a part | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| one's inherent rights as a part of creation, difficulty in being healthily aggressive. Such an individual feels | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| are in now. The immediate danger is your difficulty in admitting that you are not yet who | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| a hopeful and meaningful way. If at each difficulty, at each bend in the road around which | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| is the attitude you have toward the present difficulty? This is what counts. This is where you | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| up, as is done so often in a difficulty. You also have the power to let go | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| for release until the personality has settled its difficulty with its own destructive nature. People may have | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| could accept frustration and lack with much less difficulty. For the very nature of unhappiness is frustration | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| I must come back once more to the difficulty of the personality when one still ignores one's | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| is life prevents the consciousness from seeing the difficulty as a vital expression of the self, no | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| approaches in meditation that facilitate this contact. The difficulty is not that the greater intelligence is not | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| greater intelligence is not always imminently available. The difficulty is that you forget to use it, or | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| sacrifice, you cannot even believe in pleasure. This difficulty is intensified because you cannot bear pleasure exactly | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| conflicts follow the same pattern. Before a particular difficulty has been recognized you experience an unconscious helplessness | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| resignation, doom. When the small, momentary frustration or difficulty or disappointment is dramatized into a tragedy and | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| treatment from life, and the exaggeration that the difficulty is insurmountable and hopeless -- in short, selfwill | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| painful when isolation is chosen due to the difficulty of contact. This can be resolved only when | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| to how difficult others are, but actually the difficulty lies in the self, regardless of how imperfect | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| absolve yourself from blame or extract yourself from difficulty when establishing and maintaining a relationship. It seems | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| such goodwill stumble again and again over the difficulty of not knowing how to fight against your | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| But none of these would present too much difficulty in themselves if it were not for the | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| self alone is incapable of doing it. The difficulty of changing, and the resistance to it, come | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| -- whatever name you give it. The great difficulty you are up against is that you are | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| of it. You will then have much less difficulty putting the wish into effect in a realistic | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| error and negativity is stagnant and fixed. The difficulty is making that fixedness fluid again. There is | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| the stagnant, fixed parts only with the greatest difficulty, because true awakening must happen within the dormant | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| and options exist in every possible dilemma and difficulty. Knowledge exists in you which you can bring | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| people may often use a current event or difficulty to explain away their inner state. The truth | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| in catastrophe quite as much any longer. The difficulty is that your understanding of your reaction that | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| you experience has a meaning for you. The difficulty is that at times you do not want | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| be changed. There are many reasons for this difficulty. Some of the major fears are: fear of | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| recent lecture that a fundamental reason for the difficulty in changing negative to positive intentionality is that | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| this is not an easy path. But the difficulty is not a fixed reality, a given fact | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| reality, a given fact, an immutable condition. The difficulty exists only to the degree the personality has | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| to face every particle of the self, the difficulty vanishes. And what first seemed a difficulty now | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the difficulty vanishes. And what first seemed a difficulty now begins to become a challenge, an exciting | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| it up for anything. In other words, the difficulty exists exclusively by dint of a false belief | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| at it and choose to experience it. The difficulty can be measured in terms of your truthfulness | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| of how they should already be. The only difficulty is your illusion about how you are and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| others, you are in disunity within yourself. The difficulty human beings have in unifying spirituality and sexuality | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| not out of need and poverty. So the difficulty is in initially creating fullness. Seeking the opposite | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| one's inner reality into a void. The only difficulty is that those in this border state often | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| The more highly developed personalities often have more difficulty in bringing the divergent aspects of their souls | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| example, what connection could there be between a difficulty in establishing fulfilling relationships and a blockage in | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| false. ANSWER: That is always the danger, the difficulty in the groping. The wishful thinking that the | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| exciting process instead of a dull, compulsory, boring difficulty that children would like to have over and | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| human being. Most of you still experience a difficulty in finding the fine balance between freedom and | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| can be made clear to children without any difficulty whatsoever. A child is very capable of understanding | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| to receive from life's abundance. You encounter the difficulty of sustaining happiness and pleasure so many times | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| as it were. You need to expose your difficulty in achieving this openness, rather than denying or | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| hiding it. If you do not expose your difficulty in being open, your unfulfillment cannot be alleviated | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| itself -- the world. The reason for this difficulty lies again in the limited time/space continuum of | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
