| was a time of fruition. Some of you feel discouraged. Your question is: Where does this path | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| of two things. One is that those who feel liberated and are aware of their growth have | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| through phases when they felt just as you feel now. Yet, they persevered and now they begin | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| Yet, they persevered and now they begin to feel very definite results. The second point is that | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| at that very moment. That is why you feel stuck. Therefore, I say to those friends who | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| stuck. Therefore, I say to those friends who feel discouraged and stagnating to ask themselves very truthfully | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| overcome this universal resistance step by step do feel their own growing, do feel liberated from their | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |

| you have a healthy attitude toward it. You feel depressed only when you are unable to change | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| importance, my friends, to understand this whenever you feel depressed. When you believe you are sad due | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| Is it really just sadness? Do you not feel hopeless and frustrated? Are you free of self- | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| Are you free of self- pity? Do you feel strong and secure enough to know your life | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| its dissolution: not by forcing away what you feel, but by first calmly looking at it with | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| you rather than against you. Depression makes you feel as though life slipped by without your fully | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |
| open and undefensive. How willing are you to feel, to involve and expose yourself and all that | 106 SADNESS VERSUS DEPRESSION -- RELATIONSHIP |

| supposed to reject, produces the same self-hate you feel as when you lack courage and self-assertion, when | 107 THREE ASPECTS THAT PREVENT LOVING |
