new energy also showed in the very wonderful experience you had when all small working groups met 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
in recent months. But in the combined group experience you became part of the flow of self-perpetuating 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
you have spontaneously done during this significant group experience two weeks ago. Repeat such experiences at intervals 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
and deeds. Such an attitude brings forth desirable experience, fulfillment, pleasure, bliss and abundance in all respects 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
wherever this attitude holds true. Blissful, joyful life experience automatically creates open and expanding soul movements, which 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
good feelings -- and therefore of desirable life experience -- furthers bitterness, self-pity, accusation, spite. The negative 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
attitudes bring more and more undesirable, painful life experience, against which the personality defends itself by closing 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
in your life. The creation of negative life experience, with its contracting movement, is supposed to ward 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
movement, is supposed to ward off negative life experience. People make themselves more brittle and stiff, thus 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
only happen when you have mastered the negative experience. Or, to put it differently, when you acquire 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
Contrary to what you may believe, the positive experience also requires a new attitude. We shall discuss 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
mentioned, the usual, automatic reflex reaction to negative experience is blind contraction with its accompanying destructive emotions 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
the blindness that makes you believe the negative experience is coming to you without your having produced 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
your own contracting movement when the negative, undesirable experience comes to you. Become keenly aware of your 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
of hardening and numbing yourself, of warding off experience from within and without. Observe all the feelings 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
to remain pulsatingly open, even to the negative experience and the negative feeling. You will soon see 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
cannot bear them, you are not equipped to experience joyful life. The idea that they are unbearable 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
can bear them easily, sustain them, accept them, experience them fully. Allow the painful experiences and feelings 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
and brittleness. They numb you to all live experience, to the truth of your momentary state. Only 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
state. Only when you truly encounter the negative experience, without aggrandizing or diminishing it, without any manipulation 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
it. Only when you thus master the negative experience -- when you no longer fear and flee 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
Initially all human beings try to avoid undesirable experience. They defend against it and thus make themselves 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
best of your life. Thus you meet negative experience without a negative attitude that reproduces negative experience 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
experience without a negative attitude that reproduces negative experience endlessly. When you meet negative experience with a 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
reproduces negative experience endlessly. When you meet negative experience with a positive attitude, instead of contracting against 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
thereby opened new doors. The fact that this experience was possible is a result of true growth 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
there is nothing else needed for a good experience: all you do is enjoy it. But this 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
the above- mentioned way, the more frequent positive experience will become. It will also become increasingly obvious 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
It will also become increasingly obvious that positive experience does not befall you by accident either. You 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
reaction of the average human being to pleasurable experience is a momentary rejoicing. But, at the same 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
to be as attentive to pleasurable and fulfilling experience as you have learned to be with difficult 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
inability of enduring a greater expansion of positive experience. This exists in exact proportion to your inability 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
of functioning of the higher realms of life experience, only when you go through the self-produced negation 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
increase your capacity of dealing with the negative experience which, in turn, must increase your capacity of 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
must increase your capacity of having a good experience. As you let the negative emotion be, you 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
reveal to you that you rarely welcome good experience with all of yourself. You do so as 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
in all of you that still denies good experience, while you are entirely unaware of this fact 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
unaware of this fact. If you desire positive experience out of a negative reason -- out of 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
aware of negating the movement toward the expanding experience, you lose it ever so quickly again, without 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
the fear of the disappointment mars the good experience, so that the disappointment becomes inevitable. Whenever you 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
admitted negation. You state that you wish to experience what is, that you have the strength and 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES
the sense of hope, of real fulfillment and experience. The latter can come only if you first 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES

so many years: the denial of the original experience compels you to reexperience it over and over 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
over and over again. You recreate the denied experience, and thus increase the accumulated pain and hurt 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS

defended feelings to emerge in a full emotional experience. However, the knowing, by itself, can be a 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
There still exist many defenses against the full experience of accumulated feelings in you, my friends, in 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
created psychic toxicity because you were loath to experience and acknowledge them. The stagnation of energy currents 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
The inability to feel pleasure or to fully experience life is one of the most widespread general 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
actions, subsequently contriving explanations for them. The total experience of a feeling is as available as your 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
in which everyone is caught who denies feeling experience. When you go on denying awareness and refusing 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS

in your meditation your intent and wish to experience all accumulated feelings and rid yourself of waste 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
that often writhes in pain but denies the experience of the residual pain of long ago. The 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
clearly conceived at the outset, your disinclination to experience painful feelings will inadvertently lead you to manufacture 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS
and actions that leave out the necessity to experience all your feelings. But your spiritual center does 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS

life. Many philosophies agree on the importance of experience. They postulate that the true meaning of life 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
of life. Usually, when humans hear the word experience, they think of outer experience. This, however, is 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
hear the word experience, they think of outer experience. This, however, is not the meaning of the 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
the word. The real meaning is the inner experience. You know that you may experience all things 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
the inner experience. You know that you may experience all things outwardly, but if the inner experience 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
experience all things outwardly, but if the inner experience is inhibited, the outer experience will mean little 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
if the inner experience is inhibited, the outer experience will mean little. You can travel all over 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
many different situations and experiment with every conceivable experience under the sun. You can approach life in 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
can master, but if your capacity for inner experience is dead, all outer experiences will add little 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
to your conscious life. Often a full outer experience without the inner experience even increases despair, because 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
Often a full outer experience without the inner experience even increases despair, because one does not understand 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
one does not understand the causes of the experience, and that is very disquieting. Having everything they 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
elusive life seems, because the capacity for inner experience has not been cultivated or, worse, it has 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
or, worse, it has been inadvertently eliminated. Inner experience is possible only when you can feel. If 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
can feel. If feelings are blocked, no inner experience is possible. Lack of feelings deadens all of 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
over and over, until you learn to savor experience to whatever degree this is possible at your 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
When you fear a feeling, you block the experience. You anesthetize yourself. Numbing and denying often seems 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
truly eliminate what is undesirable. When you dare experience inwardly what comes to you, it will cease 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
the ramifications and the significance of inner emotional experience, and what happens to the human entity when 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
what happens to the human entity when such experience and feelings are blocked. As I have often 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
your primary feeling is fear. Only when you experience what you fear -- say, rejection -- will 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
you fear -- say, rejection -- will you experience the pain of it. So we are dealing 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
When you go into the fear, you can experience the pain. Only then will the pain genuinely 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
force that inevitably draws to you the very experience you wanted to avoid. The pain you avoid 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
up to what you fear and let the experience be in you, so that it can dissolve 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
can dissolve. When you fully savor the painful experience, then you are truly overcoming it. Then the 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
of life within you, and the previously feared experience will no longer come to you. You may 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
to you. You may temporarily avoid the feared experience because your inner defenses shut off life so 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
to inner living. Only a fearless soul can experience bliss, pleasure, joy, and peace. You can fulfill 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
life in you, against one type of inner experience, it is logical that all other types must 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
your fear of pain, or any other undesirable experience, you put yourself in a state of tension 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
you are in pain. This integration of your experience will make the wave of pain pass slowly 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
or quickly, according to the nature of the experience, and the pain will dissolve into the stream 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE

I must not experience that and I must experience this -- for a relaxed stream of consciousness 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE
