| trap. And if you do not want to feel differently, you must know that you do not | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| you know that you do not want to feel differently, you can find out why you want | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |

| day out and you mean it, you cannot feel lost, stagnant, or disharmonious with yourself or with | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| touched by what I said. Some may even feel that this lecture was exclusively directed at them | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| in a way, but differently from how you feel it, and justified only as long as you | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| need to focus on and where you will feel most rewarded and liberated. The freedom and safety | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| seem to have no control. Here, too, you feel as though two separate entities were involved: your | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| factors. You begin to own up to and feel responsible for this indwelling entity. You connect with | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| have made this recognition you will no longer feel helpless and controlled by powers you cannot understand | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |

| and final, though at the beginning you may feel that way. You may pull yourself together and | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| life must result, so that eventually you will feel this greater power moving you as your power | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| power moving you as your power. You will feel a oneness between your outer self and the | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |

| and give your total attention to what you feel and experience right now, and why this is | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| exactly a result of what you are, think, feel, and want, you will immediately understand that your | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| skin, your life and living with yourself will feel wrong; problems will appear without solutions. Solutions can | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| yourself by avoiding these aspects. You may vaguely feel something like this, but there is a great | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| self come into being of which one will feel ashamed and guilty. One of the severest forms | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| means. This applies to anything that makes you feel disharmonious. Ask yourself how you interpret what others | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| disharmonious. Ask yourself how you interpret what others feel and think about you. Let us take a | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| practical example to make this more understandable. You feel slighted, discriminated against, rejected. As a rule you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| do not fully acknowledge to what extent you feel this, nor why you feel this, or what | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| what extent you feel this, nor why you feel this, or what makes you believe that your | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| is justified. Is it really the way you feel it to be? The moment you can question | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| because you do not yet know that you feel it, you have to seek the proper way | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| in me in connection with revenge. I also feel my cruelty when I withdraw and punish others | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| Now, in spite of having found this, I feel that I cannot give it up. I must | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| key now is to ask yourself why you feel cruel. What do you believe is done to | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| person and the facts bear out what I feel, or might I be mistaken? If the reality | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| is different from the way I think and feel it, I would like to see that reality | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| myself. My feelings are so strong when I feel slighted that I feel the desire to kill | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| so strong when I feel slighted that I feel the desire to kill those who seem to | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| in a serious way. What you believe people feel and think and what they actually feel and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| people feel and think and what they actually feel and think, what you believe they are and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| Think every day, my friend, about where you feel you were insulted, slighted, rejected, or discriminated against | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| yourself what you believe the other group members feel about you. When you bring it out, compare | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| what is behind their reactions and why they feel what they feel. Your entire aim must now | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| their reactions and why they feel what they feel. Your entire aim must now be to discover | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| When you formulate precisely what you think others feel about you -- and when you then, with | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| which you need not be isolated. Now you feel the whole world is against you. Since you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| the whole world is against you. Since you feel the whole world is against you, out to | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |

| Might they feel similar to the way I feel -- frightened and lost? And when they are | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| yourself, of life, and the less you will feel victimized, helpless, and weak. When an entity is | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| out as a victim. It is inevitable to feel helpless when one lacks the awareness that the | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| long time may as yet be unable to feel their destructive direction. Meditate and truly want to | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| This kind of denial of what you really feel and miss makes it impossible ever to bring | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| free from the destructive desires, you would not feel guilty, hence you would not need to atone | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| find this essential link. Not knowing what you feel and what you want and what you aim | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| of a fear of the positive? Does destructiveness feel safer? Does anyone have a question in this | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| would let go of this, I would then feel -- perfectly irrationally -- that, being happy, I | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| that, being happy, I would fear death. I feel that death does not matter when I am | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| of ego means death to you because you feel nonexistent. Threatened by this I am not, you | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |

| functioning, you will find it much easier to feel relaxed about uncovering the nature of the negative | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| come to you from the outside -- you feel an anxiety. First this anxiety may register only | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| easily. Just what are these moments when you feel uneasy? What was the occasion? What fleeting thought | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| compulsiveness in me about this relationship because I feel I can't progress more now than the pace | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |

| you feel that others cannot blunder and you feel guilty for not being like others, then you | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| for not being like others, then you will feel compulsive and overanxious. But when you know that | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| only to the other person. Hence you will feel much more secure. Once you are willing to | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| Once you are willing to give, you will feel entitled to receive. When that shift occurs, you | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| and is fought against. As long as you feel that you must win because your side is | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| gain, the freer, stronger and more secure you feel. This vision not only eliminates this particular conflict | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| to annihilation in your fantasy life. Hence, you feel that leaving your dualistic plane is the greatest | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| being noticed, affirmed, and confirmed by others. You feel that if you go by unnoticed, you cease | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| why your idealized self-image is so destructive. You feel more confident when you make yourself noticed than | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| and triumph. You will resent the former and feel guilty about the latter. Both create intense frustrations | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| in this struggle. That is why you always feel as though something much larger were at stake | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |

| reached the beginning of the unitive experience. You feel a deep peace and joy in every moment | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| being destroyed your life may be upset. You feel inwardly threatened and at a loss. Outwardly, even | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| -- painful primarily because it is misunderstood. You feel, Here I am, trying so hard, yet look | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |

| truth of yourself. This means feeling what you feel; having the courage to transform yourself into a | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| voice from deep within. At other times, you feel the deep unrest, but you refuse to understand | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| are certain symptoms you wish removed which you feel interfere unpleasantly with your life? Certainly, you are | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| convinced of your truth and trust it; you feel deserving and hence do not cringe away from | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |

| sadness about the true lack of feelings. You feel like a cripple who is different from others | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
