| A good example is the need for sexual expression. I have discussed this in a different context | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| he wavers. This wavering, in itself, makes the expression of self-assertion -- independence, natural healthy aggressiveness -- | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |
| and substitute your need for it with the expression of a talent. You ignore the fact that | 121 DISPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, SUPERIMPOSITION |

| impression in order to be more capable of expression. When you have sufficiently expressed what is inside | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| creative force or a creative realization? Would this expression usually be expanding from a point where one | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| forced, commanded, or superimposed. They are a spontaneous expression, happening as an organic, natural result of self-confrontation | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| anger does not necessarily manifest in physical violence. Expression of negative emotions, even when they are not | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| will do so. If I feel that such expression may impair a relationship, I will not do | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| assume that awareness of anger and even verbal expression of it results in physical violence or in | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| and defense will also be physical. QUESTION: Regarding expression of anger, I find it unbearable. ANSWER: Sometimes | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |

| There is one life force which energizes every expression of life. The same life force can flow | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| life force, in whatever way this may find expression. The pure life force cannot be anything but | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| flow is interfered with, the energy current seeking expression is blocked and prohibited from flowing to its | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| you have understood that only the form of expression must be changed, so that the identical life | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| understood that the painful aspects, meaning the negative expression, can be abandoned, while the pleasurable aspect grows | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| is a pull toward another individual, toward an expression of your instincts, toward an integration of the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| of meeting this moment in truth. QUESTION: The expression seeing yourself in truth seems to have lost | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| meaning because a lot of people use the expression and claim that they see themselves in truth | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| -- yet I know they do not. An expression is often used in such a way that | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| me about this? ANSWER: This experience is an expression of greater progress than you can perhaps appreciate | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| this sphere, with all it contains, is an expression of humanity's overall state of consciousness. One of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| creates sickness or -- if one prefers the expression -- neurosis. People proceed from the premise -- | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| exist without the other. Expansion represents the direct expression of development, while the restricting and static movements | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| letting go of your defenses and allowing the expression of your natural feelings. The degree of guardedness | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| The self can manifest only as a spontaneous expression. Such spontaneity exists, for example, when knowledge manifests | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| ego law, and pseudo-wisdom. For feelings are an expression of the creative process itself. Anyone knows that | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| counts, which is finding your true self. The expression finding of the real self has been used | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| meaning. This always happens when one uses an expression often, mechanically and unthinkingly. It is therefore necessary | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| think, feel, will and desire. It is an expression of all your attitudes, the crassest and most | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| My friends, you may be surprised at the expression the destructive part of the universal consciousness, for | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| aware, partly not. Just as individuals are an expression of the divine and can manifest the unified | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| sexual force. It has no way of finding expression in pleasure, which is what it is meant | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| and how to express your feelings. Sometimes the expression of feelings may be frightening for those who | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| in that way. Then you will regulate your expression -- not in a miserly, self-centered, vain way | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| level of pre-reality, if I may coin this expression. As you know, it is part of the | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| able to make room for differences in self- expression. You may also misinterpret the actual rejection as | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| the receptive forces. Every life manifestation is an expression of this beat. The more harmonious the life | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| pathwork is stopped. Excessive tension is always an expression of misunderstanding the processes caused by the false | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| action from without. The drama is a direct expression of saying no to the real, much more | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| part of the inner organism is feared, denied expression, and tightly held together. Thus living becomes a | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| long, then you cannot control them because their expression is involuntary. So, you need to express, to | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| admission, but the actual emotional experience and volitional expression of it. For if you do not meet | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| what you perceive in the wrong way, your expression of it must be equally distorted and destructive | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| to attracting enraged and threatened feelings. Thus the expression becomes one of hostility and rejection. To recapitulate | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| to wrong, destructive reaction and, further, to destructive expression out into the world. This, in turn, must | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| perceive yourself correctly? The triad of perception, reaction, expression works quite differently in truth and creative living | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| in yourself and you accept it. Therefore your expression will be a truthful one. This will make | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| dying in the physical, material world is an expression of many inner attitudes. One of the most | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |

| with its own specific laws, is always an expression of consciousness, for everything in creation can only | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| connected with your masculinity or your femininity. The expression and handling of the masculine and feminine creative | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| of the psyche, if I may use this expression, are incompatible with the bliss that you long | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| the personality chargeable, if I may use the expression. Here is another way of trying to convey | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| be distorted as well. Self-assertion can be an expression of healthy autonomy or of rebellion and hostile | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| other person. Outgoingness, if genuine, is a spontaneous expression of a warm, loving personality who wants to | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| life elements, all potentials, every possibility for life expression. This is such a powerful force that it | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| give way, your expansion becomes mainly a joyful expression of living. One more word about the dualism | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| consciousness from seeing the difficulty as a vital expression of the self, no matter how much it | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| you can understand your life experience as an expression of that part of yourself you are not | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
