| harbor some distorted ideas on this subject. These distorted concepts create fear of the other sex and | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| vice versa. Hence their attitude toward themselves is distorted in this respect, and their entire value system | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| sexes is not to be confused with its distorted counterpart in which men become feminine and women | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| all know that every divine truth can be distorted; so it is here. Fear of one's own | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| selfish form of distortion automatically brings about a distorted form of other- centeredness. People hinge all their | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| that a healthy wish exists simultaneously with the distorted motivation. Once you put your finger on the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| ego the meaning of the message must be distorted. Not only have you all heard from psychological | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |

| accurately perceiving reality. It is the nucleus of distorted perceptions, this foreign body, that prohibits the soul | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| the more you give out of yourself. Sickly, distorted, false love impoverishes and breeds conflict between self-interest | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| your inner, or real, self. Where you are distorted and the real self is hidden from your | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| outer regions of the personality in a mangled, distorted way because of all the misconceptions and confusions | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| that these hidden negative emotions, that come from distorted values and wrong concepts, create illness. But it | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| also unrealistic because it is as exaggerated and distorted as the goal you feel you should accomplish | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| alternatives, your sense of truth and beauty is distorted. Even the most desirable aspects of life turn | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |

| Yet partial fulfillment does occur even in the distorted inner state. Why does it then inevitably turn | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| of how you fear fulfillment because fulfillment is distorted into satiation and therefore is a dead-end street | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| version of letting free. To love in a distorted way is martyrdom, self-effacing submission, self-destruction for the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| the loved one. To be loved, in the distorted version, is to possess and control the loved | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| trust has been placed in it, in a distorted way. Meanwhile, insufficient trust is given to other | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| ego. Such letting go can happen in a distorted, unbalanced, and therefore unhealthy manner. First of all | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| quo, stagnation, creates agitation, or movement in the distorted sense. As long as growth takes place on | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| this point healthy passivity has converted into its distorted form of apathy. By this time you have | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| completely absent even though it appears in a distorted form. The basic ingredients of the life energy | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| life energy must always remain, no matter how distorted its manifestation and consequently how difficult the detection | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| original current has been blocked and is therefore distorted, and where the pleasure/unpleasure dichotomy produces an unconscious | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| possible and makes you see problems in a distorted fashion. It produces guilt for wanting what others | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and at the same time envying them. This distorted perception of life conditions is also responsible for | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| this irrational attitude by pointing to the most distorted manifestations of the life principle, of the pleasure | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| stream, it then necessarily attaches itself to the distorted form of contact. The pleasure embodied in the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| cannot be eliminated, but where this force is distorted, the pleasure becomes negative. Since contact appears to | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| Like all human attitudes, frustration can easily be distorted into two opposites, both equally destructive. Everyone knows | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| When you misunderstand the importance of tolerating frustration, distorted responses, such as martyrdom, abstinence, and resignation are | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| cannot possibly be considered unimportant. But the other distorted response to frustration, insistence and rigidity with a | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| is a harmful way of letting go, a distorted version of it, just as there is a | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| version of it, just as there is a distorted and harmful version of discipline. Self-realization - - | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| was gained, and rest. In the disturbed organism, distorted by misconceptions, the expanding movement appears fraught with | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| can, like everything else, be easily misinterpreted and distorted. Evil is nothing but the consequence of deeply | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| accurately, the positive force is twisted, disturbed, converted, distorted, and thus becomes a negative force. This is | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| connotes an inner resistance. The outer laziness and distorted acceptance of things connotes a fierce inner struggle | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| treat the unconscious -- even the destructive, childish, distorted part of it -- with respect. It is | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| sickness. Unhappiness is usually interpreted in a wrong, distorted way. The result is that you fight the | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| all true, it must also hold true of distorted, destructive emotions. And since it is true, you | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| these three aspects of relationship operate in a distorted, unrealistic, disharmonious way, relationship cannot possibly be fruitful | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| way, your expression of it must be equally distorted and destructive. You cannot express the truth of | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| at work; only in this case they are distorted and misunderstood. Instead of complementing one another, they | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| unfold out of yourself. These principles are often distorted and thus create confusion and disharmony. When these | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| confusion and disharmony. When these creative principles are distorted and used in erroneous ways, the result is | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| dimmed so as to no longer express the distorted form of the creative principle of activation. You | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| forces work their lawful way toward fruition, is distorted when the entity refuses self-responsibility. If self-activation is | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| refusing to assume her obligations in life. Such distorted surrender cannot bring anything favorable to either partner | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| long as she makes herself helpless for whatever distorted motives. If she is not in possession of | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| impossible that one is healthy and the other distorted. Hence, the man who has a problem in | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| which he is too passive and expresses the distorted feminine principle. Both these examples are also applicable | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |

| With patience and determination you can remold the distorted part, but only after it has fully expressed | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |

| At times, a legitimate human need may be distorted by a so-called neurotic need, but the deviation | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |

| fear the destructive and demonic aspects of temporary, distorted parts of your inner being. Your consciousness, in | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| you muster the courage to find your evil, distorted aspects. Then you will find your true capacity | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| see the tremendous overall importance of recognizing the distorted, demonic traits. You will take full responsibility for | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| can always find actual, imagined, or exaggerated and distorted reasons for focusing the weight of responsibility outside | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| then use it to camouflage the split-off and distorted aspects of consciousness. The divine power within is | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| can continuously flow forth. Conversely, when concepts are distorted, and foster destructive attitudes and negative feelings, cosmic | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| unconscious negativities, aspects of the lower self, or distorted concepts. When you have removed the obstructions by | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| it can happen that realizing a destructive or distorted attitude automatically eliminates it, but this is not | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| aspect of this consciousness, turns into its own distorted version. If this happens, the energy also alters | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| of human consciousness, both the pure and the distorted, good and evil, God and the devil, exist | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| of a manifestation of evil. Another characteristic of distorted energy flow in its evil aberration is condensation | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and the more radiant its matter. The more distorted and destructive a being is, the more condensed | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| point this expression will be quite adequate. The distorted thoughts, intentionality, feelings, and attitudes resist what is | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| thrown it at humankind in such a mechanical, distorted, and often meaningless way that many individuals have | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| the more dignity you have, regardless of the distorted views of others. These are inexorable laws. This | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| which you deny to yourself, becomes a present distorted reaction. And these reactions must be seen for | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| your self-understanding. Then your negative feelings with the distorted thoughts behind them will be met by truthful | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| consider the realistic situation instead of your childish, distorted view of it. If you can first express | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| theory of truth and law have always been distorted by the forces of evil. There is no | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it has separated itself, even if they are distorted and misused. The basic energy and consciousness of | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the naturally healthy divine consciousness. The weak, sick, distorted ego very often wants to give itself up | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| conditions. Hate, pain, fear are but frozen energy, distorted consciousness. Every time you feel reluctant to go | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| that releasing the stagnant, sick energy of hidden, distorted feelings transforms it into a powerful agent for | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| the path have discovered various force fields of distorted ideas which we call images. You have experienced | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| for partially good reasons. Every truth can be distorted. In the days of pre-psychology, religion had indoctrinated | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| of pre-psychology, religion had indoctrinated man with a distorted, debilitating guilt feeling: false guilts, fear of a | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| Thus my words can always be misunderstood and distorted, or simply sound incomprehensible, confusing, and contradictory. Your | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| rage, fear, pain, or sadness. This idea is distorted and leads to a rigid, unrealistic image. The | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| For example, the deliberately produced feelings may be distorted through dramatization, exaggeration, fakery. Selfwill may be used | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| be. This always also creates the split-off opposite distorted condition: False control tries to compensate for the | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| and thus further creation, or they can be distorted, sick, life-defeating, and thus cause further destruction. Desire | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| either creative receptivity and positive desire or greedy, distorted desire from a fearful rejection of life's pattern | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| do not desire to see yourself. Such unhealthy, distorted desire, contrary to the truth of being, creates | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| currents of desire, right and wrong, healthy and distorted, relaxed and creative or tight and uncreative, is | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
| state, disconnected from deeper inner reality, they become distorted and destructive. Let me give you an example | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| -- the power to create takes on a distorted, undesirable form. The ego always lives in the | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| as long as you have not purified the distorted aspect that has found expression in this body | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| the most part unconscious at first. In your distorted view you believe that what is unconscious does | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| yourself to true reality as opposed to the distorted reality you see within the framework of the | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| never added on from the outside as the distorted, immature personality expects. Growth can only unfold from | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| This distortion is a reaction to the equally distorted opposite extreme, which position claims that outer form | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| is neurotic only when it expresses itself in distorted perfectionism, which hides an unwillingness to give up | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| the relationships between life and self are totally distorted. The box in which the mind finds itself | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| and explicit intention. Such an event reflects specific distorted ideas which, in turn, engender specific and distorted | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| distorted ideas which, in turn, engender specific and distorted action, reaction, and volition. When this connecting bridge | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| within is superfluous, because the evil is really distorted beauty and love. The devil that resides in | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| The great truths, as all things, can be distorted and expressed in a false way. Thus many | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| were still in the past, and in this distorted vision you actually believe the event to be | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| to the divine substance as well as its distorted version. In other words, one purified being may | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |

| its original, beautiful version, before it was inverted, distorted, and made negative? In that way you do | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| want it at the expense of others. The distorted form of selfishness splits the interest of self | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| selfishness, and therefore their service will also be distorted. In this light, you will see more clearly | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |

| and then what it means when it is distorted. Many human beings have distinct images about tradition | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| tradition either in its real or in its distorted sense. Tradition in its real sense means the | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| tradition we have in mind. Tradition in its distorted sense means a dead weight, a meaningless carryover | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| flattened or even totally obliterated. Tradition in its distorted sense might involve a meaningful truth, an experience | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| much of its original meaning is lost or distorted. It is always possible for you to recapture | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| The old is either being calcified by the distorted concept of tradition, or totally disrupted by the | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| to the thing; and to partial and therefore distorted vision of the thing. When psychology made its | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
