| you think of it. Therefore you do not experience the future in reality, but only in fantasy | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| lack this. In fact, most people do not experience themselves in reality. This happens mostly through a | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| that your own death is a reality. To experience oneself as mortal is not negative or morbid | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| no sense of your own reality, and cannot experience each living moment in its fullness. Wherever such | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |

| have a more extensive effect than a similar experience would have for an adult. This can be | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| clearly observed. How much more, then, must negative experience, resulting from previously unresolved conflicts, impress the psyche | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| yourself and continue to respond to them, you experience your basic split, your very own brand of | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| profoundly and personally, once it becomes your true experience and is no longer a theory or a | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| reflects the degree of the intensity of that experience. Any negative involvement with another person will express | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| your particular unreality. Being geared to the original experience, you are convinced that what is happening to | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
