| Yet, on some level of emotional reaction, such exaggeration always exists. When you learn to allow your | 90 MORALIZING -- DISPROPORTIONATE REACTIONS -- NEEDS |

| not. Now which is actually true? Let us examine this subject together from the spiritual point of | 18 FREE WILL |
| unconscious within you. In that way you can examine where to let go and relinquish your willpower | 18 FREE WILL |
| superficial excuses aside. Test them, deal with them, examine them. Many of you are scared of what | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| without pride. Where you still discover these trends, examine what is behind them and gain further understanding | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| and improvement. Now, my dear friends, let us examine the fears you may have. Certainly the path | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| this is so. Think back in your life; examine your feelings in these rare moments; analyze them | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
| Find out what this pressing desire is and examine it. It does take training, and forming the | 29 THE FORCES OF ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY -- FINDING GOD'S WILL |

| consciously, but if you would test your emotions, examine their demands as to what they actually mean | 31 SHAME |
| good for those who love God. Let us examine this statement of the Scriptures to find its | 32 DECISION-MAKING |

| would be quite obvious if they would but examine their resistances. They use all kinds of pretexts | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| me with such a problem, I would say: Examine yourself. Go below the surface layers of your | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| friends. Take all your reactions, every day, and examine them from this point of view. What is | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| articulate awareness of your desires. Then we will examine the reason for their existence. Your unconscious desires | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| you have to work from two sides: (1) examine your childhood and your reactions at the time | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |
| and your reactions at the time and (2) examine the desires in your present reactions to daily | 45 THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DESIRES |

| tendency may express itself more strongly. If you examine your life and your inner reactions in this | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| become automatic, then the time has come to examine yourself from this point of view and find | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| your authority. The answer to this question is: Examine your love and find the right middle path | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| number of other general subjects which you can examine successively, according to what is the person's most | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| the circle is to have the courage to examine the subject, to review it freely and independently | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| on which you have strongly formed opinions and examine them in the work you are doing by | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| that your opinion is right, then you should examine where and how you are emotionally involved. It | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| then you should look into yourself. If you examine the pattern, it will reveal something to you | 51 IMPORTANCE OF FORMING INDEPENDENT OPINIONS |
| truth to an equal extent. Now let us examine the case in which a child experiences benign | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| and patterns throughout your life. You should all examine this attitude that may be deeply hidden within | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| deceived by your conscious convictions. Rather try to examine and analyze your emotional reactions to authority, to | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| injustices of your own life, but do not examine the lives of others, or general conditions, for | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| most people have this reaction, at least occasionally. Examine whether you feel more alive in a negative | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| this particular word. As for self-pity, let us examine what such pity of the self expresses. What | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| this will open further vistas. So, at least, examine yourself as to why you do not want | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| combined with elements of dishonesty? ANSWER: When you examine the soul the way you do on this | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| confirm the truth of my words if you examine your feelings and reactions in the proper light | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| interests? Either alternative brings dissatisfaction. Let us now examine why this concept is wrong. I am addressing | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| and when you find the inner will blocked, examine where and why you have doubts about the | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| the very thing you are consciously guilty about. Examine it, and you will find that it often | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you find that this is so can you examine why you think it will protect you and | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| takes on the role of the rejecting parent. Examine your most subtle and elusive emotions. Go behind | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| suggest to whoever has such fears that you examine exactly why you fear only such happenings and | 67 QUESTION AND ANSWERS |
| a connection between the two, which we shall examine later. Unvolitional background thoughts constantly disturb and interrupt | 68 SUPPRESSION OF POSITIVE AND CREATIVE TENDENCIES - THOUGHT PROCESSES |
| downs continue to manifest for you. Let us examine this topic and shed some light on the | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| you did not yet have a chance to examine it. But you will have a chance to | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| this desire so often unconscious? Let us first examine the reason. The child's desire for love is | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| you may not yet have reached. Let us examine in depth the significance of the inner universal | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| other again responds in kind. But as you examine your real reason, not the superficial one, the | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| to this truth will take any event and examine it profoundly as to their real reactions and | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| activity, but of a different kind. Let us examine the difference in activity between hand and foot | 78 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| by working on this question directly. If you examine everything that bothers her, that disturbs or depresses | 79 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| change this state. Keep in mind, as you examine your inner reactions, that you constantly fluctuate between | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| may not consciously think so, but when you examine your feelings of disappointment or frustration, you will | 80 COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, UNION |
| the life force that lies within unutilized. So examine your faith, too, my friends. Do not be | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| you may be emotionally stingy. If you carefully examine the emotions of prejudice, you will see that | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| reactions that it hardly occurs to you to examine the surface reactions and behavior patterns. To experience | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| of matter is always the effect. Whether you examine nations, languages and religions, or atmospheric conditions, it | 87 THE NEXT PHASE ON THE PATH; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you sit down and wait. You do not examine sufficiently why you have this hardship. You may | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| giving it the opportunity to grow. Let us examine this for a moment, my friends. You all | 89 EMOTIONAL GROWTH AND ITS FUNCTION |
| regarding the two kinds of conscience, you should examine what you feel about this peace. Account for | 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| relinquish an illusion connected to it. As you examine all these factors within yourself, you cannot help | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
| sort are quite frequent. But let us now examine a little further, with our new understanding, what | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| hardened mass of your defense mechanism. Let us examine for a moment the difference between submissiveness, appeasement | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| it, but as he is more willing to examine his emotions, he will see that the need | 93 THE LINK BETWEEN THE MAIN IMAGE, REPRESSED NEEDS, AND DEFENSES |
| as you do not have the courage to examine the issues while forgetting the rule, you cannot | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| So again I say to you, my friends, examine where you find resistance accompanied by the desire | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |
| say, I am in danger. Now, let us examine the truth of the matter. Are you really | 101 THE DEFENSE |
| let this fear stop you, but face it, examine it, grasp it, instead of repressing it, and | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| Then, and then only, can you begin to examine and understand them in their true light. As | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| mutually exclusive. The pseudo-need for manipulation, if you examine it, stems from egocentric fear and an over-cautiousness | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| be, as it exists now. Let us now examine a favorable emotion. Gratified vanity, greed, or pride | 111 SOUL-SUBSTANCE -- COPING WITH DEMANDS |
| life will frighten you will decrease. Once you examine yourself and your life from this point of | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| for the deeper meaning. You also need to examine the times when you felt similarly as a | 114 STRUGGLE: HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY |
| if no corresponding problems exist. Now let us examine what the specific effects of apparently pleasurable circumstances | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| experiences. It is time, my dear friends, to examine those aspects in your childhood which you experienced | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| about the self is missing. So, my friends, examine this new angle. Be on the lookout for | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| what it wants to continue having. If you examine your idealized self, this double pretense must be | 117 SHAME: A LEGACY OF CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, EVEN FAVORABLE ONES |
| two sides of the inner split. If you examine your main problems and conflicts, the images, the | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| look at your displacements from the opposite approach. Examine your present negative involvements, disturbing emotions, the impasses | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| frequently recurring anxiety, and other negative emotions. Then examine and deeply ponder the needs which lie behind | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| If you find yourself in an involved situation, examine yourself from the point of view under discussion | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| old patterns. I would also advise that you examine your unconscious motivations with respect to this question | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| and therefore avoid contact with the opposite sex. Examine what you believe are the injustices, which you | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| you are aware of it, you can truly examine and overcome the obstructing fear which divides you | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| and question them in the daylight of consciousness. Examine the faraway fantasy when, apparently, only the yes-current | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| become conscious, and your reason and intelligence can examine their validity. Therefore, it is most advisable not | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| also what remains to be accomplished. When you examine the still unfulfilled areas of your life, finding | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| instead of cringing from it. And let us examine why it is equally true that a human | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| of fullness and inclusiveness. My advice is to examine your winner/loser conflict as your general attitude toward | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| the fear of its negative opposite. Let us examine a few of most human beings' fundamental desires | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the expressing, the emptying out. Let us first examine expressing. One of the most important aspects to | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| usually happens, my friends, is that when you examine yourself in such a situation you do not | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| than anything else. When doing a daily review, examine your reactions of disharmony and meditate in the | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| to see how this holds true. When you examine the misconceptions, the images, as they unfold through | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| a haze, in which you do not fully examine whether or not it is real. You may | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| the negative magnetic field. That is, you can examine yourself, your thoughts, feelings, and attitudes in this | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| ability to love, the impulse rarely arises to examine these areas and compare them with your unhappy | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| and precepts that are by no means natural. Examine yourself from this point of view. You will | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| fraction of life can be utilized when you examine the nucleus of power in its negative manifestations | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |

| in your daily struggles, the better it is. Examine your problematic reactions and attitudes, those that do | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |

| unconscious. It creates a terrible conflict. When you examine dispassionately the irrationality of your negation, of your | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| and so on. I do not wish to examine fear again in these contexts. Rather, I say | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| behind fear. And when you experience, acknowledge, and examine such desire, you will always see distrustful elements | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| congest the smooth flow of energy. Let us examine for a moment how a weak ego influences | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| in which there is no cramp. Let us examine what the words inwardly and outwardly mean. These | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
