| you all know, to be aware of these fears. They are usually covered up, but they exist | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |

| becomes aware of the effects these heretofore unconscious fears have on one's life: what they make one | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| now wish to discuss some aspects of these fears, their common denominator, which will indicate to you | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| who have not as yet discovered that these fears exist will sooner or later discover their existence | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| you were hiding from life because of these fears, my words -- retrospectively and retroactively -- will | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |

| problem of life. The nature of all these fears is a misunderstanding of the function of the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| Let us come back to those fundamental human fears I listed before and consider them in the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| light of this information. As I said, these fears come into being as a result of cutting | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| have heard me say innumerable times that whoever fears life must fear death, and whoever fears death | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| whoever fears life must fear death, and whoever fears death must fear life, because they are really | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| the degree they feel unhappy, unfulfilled, and empty, fears happiness, fulfillment, and pleasure, no matter how much | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| I should like to say that whenever one fears the real self, one must fear life and | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| supreme, and life are directly connected. Therefore whoever fears letting go of the ego, who fears and | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| whoever fears letting go of the ego, who fears and denies pleasure because of this fear, must | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| possible. Conversely, the weakness of an ego that fears self-responsibility makes self-surrender, and thus pleasure, impossible. The | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| as a creation of the self. When one fears the down curve, struggles and fights against it | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| the unfulfilled longings, your discontent, your hurts and fears, your real desires. Once this is done, squarely | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| your unwise, destructive and sloppy thinking processes, your fears, your misconceptions, your ignorance -- in short, by | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| are not only not depriving -- as one fears when one still lives in duality -- they | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |

| upon powers deeper within me than the false fears and ideas. I no longer wish to reject | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| As I outlined in the last lecture, the fears that accrue from self-dislike breed fear of the | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| avoiding unnecessary feared events. Make a list of fears. I said this years ago, but now that | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| list will be more profound. Look at your fears. To what extent are they caused by pride | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| change, flow with the stream of ever-changing life? Fears must be met. In order to be met | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| this split of desire and motivation. Face the fears squarely. Face your pride squarely, which makes you | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| must fear falling off the self-erected pedestal. Many fears will dissolve when you are willing to give | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| either grasping or avoiding. One grasps because one fears not getting, and one avoids because one fears | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| fears not getting, and one avoids because one fears getting. Thus they are both the same in | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| one no longer fights, struggles against, avoids and fears the pain, it becomes increasingly less intense, until | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| as annihilation while, at the same time, one fears to lose it and fall into its opposite | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| the personal hurdles bar the way because one fears the truth within the self. When you have | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| recognize how I manipulated myself in producing false fears. The moment I could fully see this, the | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| way. It is a lonely existence beset by fears. Conversely, those who, in distortion of the passive | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| and confusions, as well as your suffering and fears, are a result of the dualistic state of | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| underlying life-defeating attitudes fear truth and love. These fears induce decay, which finally manifests outwardly. Hence, what | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| this will surface in any number of projected fears, which have nothing to do with what you | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| are bound to bring the very thing one fears most -- in your case, abandonment. My friends | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
