| Lack of understanding, confusion, unawareness of cause and effect, contradictory aims, and wrong conclusions make up the | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| whether it smolders hidden, your aggressiveness has its effect on others. However, you confuse submissiveness with the | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| not. This will bring into clear focus the effect you have on others. Without the awareness of | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| awareness of the difference you cannot know the effect of your defense. When you realize the effect | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| effect of your defense. When you realize the effect you have on others due to a defense | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| the defense mechanism can be determined by the effect it has on other people. I don't know | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
