| the psyche and are therefore unwelcome. Similarly, in distortion, fulfillment turns into satiation, stagnation -- a dead-end | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| continuum and therefore cannot be feared. In the distortion, you fear desire no matter what happens: you | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| narrow fences are always a result of personal distortion. You cannot experience more than what you conceive | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |

| to love. When you are involved in this distortion, you cannot see that love and freedom are | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| oriented. Negative orientation cannot be anything but a distortion. Since underneath the distortion the real continues to | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| be anything but a distortion. Since underneath the distortion the real continues to exist, it sends forth | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| in the continuation of your pathwork. When the distortion you discover cuts deeply into your soul and | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| I might say that this concept is a distortion of the process I have explained. Reward and | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| is important to understand that this is a distortion arising from duality. The error consists in confusing | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| as I have said so many times. In distortion and duality, activity appears as movement, passivity as | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| yourself and not liking yourself for this particular distortion. Consequently, there is denial, repression, and further alienation | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| through. You must stop running away from this distortion in yourself. You must allow yourself to see | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the need. For this need is only a distortion of the inborn urge to realize the best | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| pleasure are one. Lack of pleasure is the distortion of the life force and comes from opposing | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| to be truthful with the self can avoid distortion. The human tendency to run away from the | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| and other gifts of the spirit. Here the distortion was, and often still is, that love is | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| inhibition of the beautiful vital forces caused the distortion. This happens over and over to the entire | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| though malice may be one aspect of the distortion. A general ignorance has also influenced those who | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| all your wants and needs. Because of this distortion of the facts, you wait for fulfillment from | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| belief most people have and it is a distortion of reality. The very unhappiness you suffer from | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| only because this is such a general, universal distortion. The destructive part of the universal consciousness is | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| really are. Displacing them outward brings a total distortion of reality. One then deals continually with half- | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| drive of not knowing, the vagueness of misbelief, distortion, error. If you truly comprehend these words, my | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| always present where there are unresolved problems, imbalance, distortion, unfulfillment. The struggle between the self and the | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| outside of you. Let me briefly recapitulate the distortion of the twofold principle of the active and | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| existence beset by fears. Conversely, those who, in distortion of the passive, feminine principle, trust in God | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| natural, undistorted state. Each polarity is bad when distortion and error set in. This is most difficult | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| it will be free from pollution, perversion, and distortion. You can then claim your birthright. You can | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| precisely where the feminine principle should reign. This distortion is a compensation for underactivity where he should | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| confused with paralyzed passivity which is but a distortion of healthy femininity. The pulsating activity of the | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| the blind escape-line of least resistance is a distortion also, but of the feminine creative principle. The | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| can be either a healthy complement or a distortion. Thus, a distortion in one respect creates a | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| a healthy complement or a distortion. Thus, a distortion in one respect creates a distortion in its | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| Thus, a distortion in one respect creates a distortion in its opposite. When your self-work has made | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |

| assumed to be right and the other wrong, distortion and imbalance result. One end of the active-passive | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| example, when they merely cover up the unhealthy distortion of it. By the same token, how often | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| it possible to relate genuinely to others. In distortion, these two aspects become mutually exclusive alternatives, where | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| the particular errors of the person. The unhealthy distortion of the self-sufficient person is the recluse who | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| as right and the other as wrong. A distortion that is very strong is relatively easy to | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| yourself. Thus you create forms of error and distortion that stand in the way of unfolding your | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| unhampered, and therefore positive manifestation, and in its distortion. In its positive, natural version, the links of | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| personality are in truth; others, in error and distortion. The resulting confusion causes grave disturbances. What you | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| and scared of loving, then detachment is a distortion of the real attitude. If involvement means merely | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| love, and beauty, which are infinite divine attributes, distortion and negativity are never infinite. They come to | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| aspects in you that are already free of distortion, evil, and destructiveness, that are really liberated and | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| fail to realize that evil is only a distortion of a divine creative power current. Such distortion | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| distortion of a divine creative power current. Such distortion and lack of awareness cause you to deny | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| I refer back to the main sources of distortion and destructiveness: selfwill, pride, and fear. Offhand, it | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| the opposites cannot be transcended. Only when the distortion is accepted fully can it transform itself back | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| individuality in the divine sense. It is a distortion in itself, and as such, unnecessary. In this | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| deep problem of self-identity. It is a human distortion to identify with any of the above-mentioned aspects | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| human condition? Or are these aspects of a distortion that need not exist? If the universe is | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| suffering now is a result of this very distortion of pursuing false needs and insisting on their | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| good or bad, right or wrong, there is distortion of reality and consequently suffering. However, the connection | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| and consequently suffering. However, the connection between the distortion of reality and the suffering are not obvious | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| also on all other levels, every misconception, every distortion and imbalance of the will functioning, and every | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| universe envelops you. 197. ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL Greetings, all my friends here. Divine blessings | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| frequency slows down and becomes commensurate with the distortion of the consciousness which determines the state by | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| pattern. The slower the movement, the more the distortion of consciousness has advanced, and the more we | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| and developed. But there also exist in you distortion, blindness, ill will, resistance, evil. The human being | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| can be put into the service of a distortion. This is why so much vigilance is needed | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| self with others. This, too, is a total distortion of reality. No human being can be measured | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| when you can see your negativity as a distortion of reality and can see the effect it | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| involved in a chain reaction of error and distortion. You are then in a state where you | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| beings are still incapable of experiencing how their distortion and negativity directly affects, reinforces, and hooks into | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| rid of negative feelings. This is a slight distortion. Yet I do not wish to imply that | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| about negative feelings, namely, that it is a distortion to try to get completely rid of them | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| course, real, because they are consequences of a distortion. You may perceive what appears as chaos also | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| function that the ego should perform. Disharmony and distortion create imbalance and a false lack of control | 205 ORDER AS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE |
| receptive movement of taking in and nurturing. In distortion and negativity the masculine principle manifests as hostile | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| than giving and reaching. The feminine principle in distortion turns from loving receptivity and nurturing to grasping | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| every living act. Both principles, in harmony and distortion, exist in both men and women. They can | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| the masculine and feminine principles, if there is distortion and imbalance there, then this must inevitably also | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| a reality in itself. Evil is always a distortion of divine truth. Every destructive, negative attitude can | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| ego manifestation, in its separateness, is such a distortion destructive or evil. The very same basic trait | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| level, have to deal with. Impatience is another distortion from a fuller state of consciousness, in which | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| the blocks and fogs created by illusion and distortion make you blind to true exemplary figures or | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| guise that this furthers inner spiritual life. This distortion is a reaction to the equally distorted opposite | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| outcasts and judged by others. This was a distortion of the reality that everyone indeed creates his | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| century's attitude is a counter-balance of the previous distortion and half-truth. The present tendency is that the | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| people become capable of assuming responsibility without the distortion that is blame. Now you can find the | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| work, while in other areas there is grave distortion and destructiveness untouched so far by your conscious | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| system that stems from distrust, non-love, power, and distortion of truth. It cannot breed love. You who | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| of you. You must beware of this dangerous distortion. There is a direct correlation between this self-devastating | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| is essential that you deal with this double-edged distortion and set it right. In this kind of | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| they are not appropriate now and lead to distortion of reality, thus to a false creation that | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| in common. When divine perfection has undergone the distortion that temporarily alters its manifestation into a lesser | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| alters its manifestation into a lesser expression, then distortion, misconception, suffering, darkness and disconnection seem to be | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| know that the way this manifests is in distortion and is far from furthering the growth process | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| in itself rejectable and unacceptable. There is only distortion. No matter how negative, destructive, evil, dark, bad | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| bad something may be, it is but a distortion of something beautiful. Even you, my friends, who | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| that you recognize the positive origin behind the distortion, but, at the same time, beware of using | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| to believe in God. ANSWER: This is a distortion of the healthy, realistic attitude regarding self-responsibility and | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |

| anxious. So anxiety is really not even a distortion of something positive; it is positive, in the | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| of this destructiveness? ANSWER: The original aspect, before distortion sets in, is a spirit of courage and | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| origin of playing the victim game? ANSWER: The distortion is self-exoneration at the expense of making others | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| center of attention? ANSWER: Self-centeredness is a direct distortion of seeking your inner center. If you are | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |

| of power, of a position of authority? ANSWER: Distortion of true leadership. True leadership is taking responsibility | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| is taking responsibility, paying the price for leadership. Distortion of it wants the glory of it, the | 219 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE -- MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN |
| blessed. 221. FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION Greetings, my dearest beloved friends here. Divine blessings | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| judged. Religions have been particularly guilty of this distortion. A counter-reaction had to set in to reestablish | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| condition has advanced sufficiently to see again that distortion of truth, denial of love, negative intentionality are | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| to battle its way through the darkness and distortion that are byproducts of the separation. So these | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| once the mind has truly been affected. The distortion that marks separation from the divine essence is | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| thinking of the mask self that hides the distortion and the untruth of the lower self. You | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a distorted, therefore painful way. You create the distortion by not feeling, not trusting, and not following | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| specific confusion and stumbling block. They are the distortion and inversion of the unity of self-respect and | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| the self regarding self-love and self-honesty or, in distortion, self-indulgence and self-hate -- or, to put it | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| years how the dualistic approach creates confusion and distortion of truth in another way. Some people claim | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| Others assert the contrary. Each group uses the distortion, exaggeration, and fanaticism of the other as a | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| hesitate to see how they mutually create this distortion. On a still deeper level of consciousness, one | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| amounts to an honest approach to life. Where distortion still exists, woman still wants from the man | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| without a stake in seeing it and without distortion. But your seeing creates intense rage and intense | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| such exclusiveness seems a reality to you. Another distortion in striving for perfection on the personality level | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| the false search must lead to a rigid distortion, truly a caricature of the real state of | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| such as frustration, pain, difficulties, struggle. Obviously this distortion is destructive. It implies selfishness, lovelessness, ruthless disregard | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| them through acceptance and thus transcending them. This distortion also reveals a limited outlook on the reality | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| at least intellectually, as states of unreality and distortion. And I feel very much that this refusal | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| never beautiful; it cannot be; it is a distortion of the beauty. However, you need to pray | 239 CHRISTMAS LECTURE 1975 |
| tenderness, and deep appreciation for the self. The distortion of this balance is self-indulgence at the expense | 240 ASPECTS OF THE ANATOMY OF LOVE: SELF-LOVE, STRUCTURE, FREEDOM |
| the expense of others and lacerating self-hate. The distortion is, to begin with, unconscious and needs to | 240 ASPECTS OF THE ANATOMY OF LOVE: SELF-LOVE, STRUCTURE, FREEDOM |
| fear and do not avoid the negativity, the distortion and destructiveness that are a part of your | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| come to countermand the abuse of truth, the distortion of the truth. But with the second system | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| two. All categories, of course, have sub-categories. The distortion of capitalistic democracy is again very obvious in | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| at the expense of others. But in this distortion of the third system the exploiters become parasites | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| the greater are the dangers of abuse and distortion. Freedom always contains more possibility of abuse. This | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| by the mind only, the possibility for error, distortion and abuse will always be present. A channel | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| favor of the other, you are already in distortion. And let that then be a reminder that | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| then be a reminder that you are in distortion and that you need to look within yourself | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| what part in you wants to create the distortion. Is it the lazy part that resents the | 242 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS |
| dearest friends; namely, that the active principle in distortion, harmful and murderous as it may be, could | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| same havoc as the passive, receptive principle in distortion. This is why many spiritual teachings say that | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| believed to be exhausting. This illusion is a distortion in the deeper mind. As long as this | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| is directly related to and connected with impurity, distortion, limitation of vision and perception. Your three-dimensional perception | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| today or whether he or she is in distortion and is merely repeating an act out of | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| unexpanded. Here you become a traditionalist. In the distortion of the personality all principles exist in distortion | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| distortion of the personality all principles exist in distortion, just as in the purified part of the | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |

| that the feeling of threat may be a distortion, may be irrational, may contain false assumptions on | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| that is truly heavenly. This manifestation is the distortion of eternity. It is hopelessness itself as if | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| and realm. It is the principle of confusion, distortion, half-truth, and all the variations that may possibly | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| can clearly see how the corresponding type of distortion in the unpurified areas of your soul becomes | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| of how the three principles interact. Confusion and distortion of reality -- making a truth out of | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| guise of expressing your feelings, while maligning and distortion will become the tools of cruelty and the | 248 THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE FORCES OF EVIL -- PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL |
| true personality, your real being, who believes this distortion. What does the law of giving and receiving | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| All great divine influxes lend themselves more to distortion than the milder forms of creative manifestation. With | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| bear them. To the degree that negativity and distortion exist in an individual's mind and consciousness, these | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| this was not only the result of men's distortion and negativity; it was just as much the | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| being sought in order to avoid contact, a distortion is at hand. If you avoid privacy because | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| produce is not explored and understood, again, a distortion is at work. Many people are completely oblivious | 252 PRIVACY AND SECRECY |
| spirituality must, sooner or later, bend into some distortion, no matter how well-intentioned the person may be | 256 INNER SPACE, FOCUSED EMPTINESS |
