| render the task impossible. Know that your hidden emotions have nothing to do with your outer common | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| on this path that many of your hidden emotions come to the surface. Remember that the more | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| be truly understood only when you uncover your emotions and find out their deeper meaning. And with | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| conflict can only be resolved if the unconscious emotions in this respect are recognized and translated into | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| merely by having recently recognized its faulty premise. Emotions cannot be controlled that way. I have said | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| at the feeling level -- seeing how your emotions still deviate from the right concept, then this | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| concept, then this process will gradually change your emotions. In this way you will slowly rectify the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| this way you will slowly rectify the wrong emotions. You lead them from the wrong channel into | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| clarity only if you become aware of your emotions, desires, and motives. Then you can separate the | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| hypocrisy, is distasteful, therefore you suppress your true emotions, because of the wrong conclusion that there is | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| and that is the sorting out of your emotions, finding their meaning, facing all that you have | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| before the core is reached. Wherever the conscious emotions, opinions, thoughts, conclusions, and desires are separated from | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| by examining your feelings, by listening into your emotions can you get the answer. The fact that | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| actually a result of your feelings, your thoughts, emotions, attitudes. It is the sum total of your | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| What lies behind this reaction? What are the emotions that drive me to react in one instance | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| answering these questions by learning to make your emotions conscious and articulate, you will understand deeper layers | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| this process of questioning and observe how the emotions -- which work slower than the brain mechanism | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| still adhere to their old patterns. Then these emotions will begin to change gradually, at first almost | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| pray for guidance and recognition. Then, gradually, your emotions will find the right middle way. The person | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| word or thought, at least in your unconscious emotions. Whenever such violation happens, you twist the life | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| in the future. Think of money, work, various emotions, human relationships, plus a number of other general | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| angle -- after you have found hitherto hidden emotions, reactions, and tendencies -- you will be able | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| deep below the surface of your consciousness, your emotions are self- oriented in a way that is | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| forcing of yourself -- and, as you know, emotions do not respond to compulsion -- but also | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| so destructive. You will not bury the selfish emotions and look away from them but rather uncover | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| influences, then certainly way down deep in your emotions. Guilt about the sexual drive is unjustified, absurd | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| maturity also means being unafraid of your own emotions: if you have negative emotions, fear of them | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| of your own emotions: if you have negative emotions, fear of them will not make them disappear | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| On the contrary, only by facing those negative emotions can you understand their origin, their reason. Only | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| unruly feelings. Discover the difference between suppressing these emotions and accepting them as a symptom of your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |

| of positive thinking tries to do. Eventually your emotions will begin to change, but only after you | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| of your unconscious reactions. If you observe your emotions, you will finally break through into yourself and | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |

| What do they imply? What lies behind the emotions you register in the most casual incidents of | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| of the soul is a loud one. All emotions produce sounds, but the loud voice claiming self-importance | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| But if you analyze the meaning of your emotions, this is what they amount to. Thus, you | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| up louder than usual. You have to question emotions that you have never questioned before. What is | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| the world is on the other. Many subtle emotions will, upon analysis, reveal to you that this | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| when you feel such a temptation and such emotions that you cover it up quickly. You do | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| should be concerned with is understanding yourself: your emotions, your motives, your desires and fears. All these | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| in the intellect as well as in the emotions? ANSWER: On the contrary. Your intellect is more | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| for any human being to remember these early emotions, for you have no memory of your first | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| is a fact, and you can find these emotions by various ways in the work you are | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| and not an object. Find out by what emotions, desires, and reactions you can discover this to | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| entirely unconscious arguments. You can only trace the emotions and reactions by applying certain methods in your | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| had brought it about. If you analyze your emotions in such, or similar incidents, you will discover | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| to change your attitude, so that the healthy emotions could begin to grow, that finding is not | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| this within yourself, when you truly experience these emotions and live them, your life will gradually begin | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| the point where you really experience all these emotions, where their presence ceases to be a mere | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| is not true. But what do your many emotions amount to? Do you not wish to be | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| If you are honest with yourself about your emotions considered from this new slant, you will have | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| really accept yourself -- in your most deeply-seated emotions, not merely in theory and with your intellect | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| is to be feared. You know that these emotions exist, regardless of your conscious concept. This aspect | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |

| If you harbor truthful attitudes, opinions, convictions and emotions, these forms will exist in a world of | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| nor can they ever be destroyed. Convictions and emotions of untruth or unreality have the opposite character | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| The stronger these convictions and attitudes, thoughts, and emotions are, the greater is their impact, the more | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| of your inner attitudes and convictions, thoughts and emotions. Many of these create obstacles through which you | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |

| certainly connected with that. Man shies away from emotions. He is afraid of them, partly due to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| rather frequent misconception I mentioned before, namely, that emotions are dangerous and if one cannot avoid them | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| they remind man of his wrong conclusion that emotions must be hidden. They are also due to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| and outer problems. If you find your hidden emotions, you will understand why other people respond negatively | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to truth. Also, one may have very distorted emotions and embrace a truth by coincidence, so to | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you can resist an untruth out of unhealthy emotions, as well as accept a truth out of | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| well as accept a truth out of unhealthy emotions. The requirement always and foremost should be the | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and foremost should be the purification of the emotions. The right intent is what matters, and not | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| only after understanding the peculiar logic of confused emotions. With the confusion about parental rejection in the | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |

| in this direction. Find the part in your emotions where you ascribe weakness to acts of love | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
