| of the split. When you unify knowing and feeling, you work toward mending and integration, which manifests | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| this paralysis. A lack of creativity or a feeling of general despair may be another. In this | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| your real feelings. The necessity of bringing together feeling and knowing must become more obvious to you | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| explanations for them. The total experience of a feeling is as available as your willingness and readiness | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| cycle in which everyone is caught who denies feeling experience. When you go on denying awareness and | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| let go if your innermost being defends against feeling your feelings, which you know exist inside of | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| for the stagnation, which is the fear of feeling all feelings including fear. Only when this truth | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| against it and dissolve what causes it by feeling your feelings, can you come out of both | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| of self-perpetuation, and I illustrated how a denied feeling compounds itself so that it multiplies. For example | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| fear of fear, and then the fear of feeling the fear of the fear, and so on | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| because it points clearly to the necessity of feeling directly, no matter how undesirable feelings may be | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| If you compound your pain because you deny feeling your pain, this secondary pain must become bitter | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| true with fear, anger, frustration, or whatever the feeling may be. Thus, when you feel the fear | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| will very quickly give way to another denied feeling. The denied feeling -- whatever it may be | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| give way to another denied feeling. The denied feeling -- whatever it may be -- will become | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| not to be where you are, and the feeling that your past suffering as a child is | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| not a magical process. If the fear of feeling your feelings is very strong, it leads to | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| state of crisis. But the true underlying core feeling is often merely shame/pride and the misconception that | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| illusion, but you must go through it by feeling it. Through the gateway of feeling your weakness | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| it by feeling it. Through the gateway of feeling your weakness lies your strength; through the gateway | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| weakness lies your strength; through the gateway of feeling your pain lies your pleasure and joy; through | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| your pleasure and joy; through the gateway of feeling your fear lies your security and safety; through | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| your security and safety; through the gateway of feeling your loneliness lies your capacity to have fulfillment | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| fulfillment, love and companionship; through the gateway of feeling your hate lies your capacity to love; through | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| your capacity to love; through the gateway of feeling your hopelessness lies true and justified hope; through | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| system. This poison can be eliminated only by feeling what you hoped you could avoid feeling. Then | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| by feeling what you hoped you could avoid feeling. Then a new energy influx comes in ever | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| block in your system. When you fear a feeling, you block the experience. You anesthetize yourself. Numbing | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| desires -- in all these cases, your primary feeling is fear. Only when you experience what you | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| energy you invest into blocking off the feared feeling, the more potent the magnetic energy block becomes | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| but also makes you incapable of meeting new feeling experiences in a free and spiritually hygienic way | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| a free and spiritually hygienic way. The new feeling that cannot live in you is added to | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| natural. If you cannot exist through your flowing, feeling being, your intellect and will take almost exclusive | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| will take almost exclusive charge of your deadened feeling part. They temporarily give you the illusion of | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| long run, not even convincing, because consciousness without feeling lacks the spark of the spirit that puts | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| your mind is not unified with your inner feeling experience, you will, in secret moments, doubt your | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| the condition of being split off from the feeling self, which in turn exists only when feelings | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| mind substitutes its so-called life for the inner, feeling self. Let us now look at what happens | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| should not be sad, you rebel against a feeling that exists in you. This rebellious attitude soon | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| straight sadness cannot be borne. Any straight, clean feeling can easily be borne, no matter what it | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| why you should not have to endure this feeling. Thus you build illusions. And it always seems | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| indeed debilitating and destructive, whereas the direct, original feeling of sadness, if fully experienced and consciously connected | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| and by others. Now let us consider the feeling of anger. If it is cleanly experienced when | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| from what you really feel, and the original feeling becomes more distorted. Let us now see what | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| of despair. By this denial you turn your feeling of despair into bitterness, isolation, faithlessness -- the | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| experienced directly, without conclusions and mental concepts, the feeling will dissolve relatively quickly. If you allow yourself | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| which will lead back to the clean, original feeling one has avoided. If you can so discern | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| and you experience directly and cleanly the original feeling, then all residual feelings will dissolve. The new | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| denial and defense. Let us now take the feeling of fear. When you deny it, it becomes | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| is in you. When you can let a feeling -- pain, fear, disappointment -- happen to you | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| flow. Thus, when you no longer fear a feeling, then that feeling can no longer come to | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| you no longer fear a feeling, then that feeling can no longer come to you. You must | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| to what degree you are afraid of a feeling in you. What feeling is it? For nothing | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| are afraid of a feeling in you. What feeling is it? For nothing outward can in itself | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| elicit in you. By going into the undesirable feeling, you will see the miracle happen as a | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| The inner lie of denying experience of the feeling self creates a falsification of your real self | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| a mark, just because it was fully felt. Feeling pain directly and fully strengthens resilience and the | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| and physical being. The full experience of your feeling self is spiritual hygiene and prevents the stagnation | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| disease in the body, so does unassimilated, unexperienced feeling matter cause disease of the soul. Your full | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| blockage yet. You may simply experience a vague feeling of being ill at ease with life. You | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| any person not bringing his or her unconscious feeling experiences into consciousness must carry this repressed material | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| and the consequent negative and destructive patterns of feeling and thinking. When people begin to assume true | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| follow through with both your thinking and your feeling, correlating them. So it is necessary to discover | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| life. The truth is that every conceivable attitude, feeling, idea, and human expression can be both good | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| destructive, stagnant and painful. The energy of the feeling body is paralyzed and blocked. Therefore an important | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| of unification and purification is to experience the feeling level, or the feeling body, if you will | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| is to experience the feeling level, or the feeling body, if you will. Open the blocks and | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| to others around them. In dealing with the feeling level, you have to learn how to get | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |
| and therefore relaxed. Being relaxed in mind, will, feeling and body is the indispensable prerequisite for experiencing | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| wish to discuss a very specific feeling, a feeling that is rarely recognized because it transcends the | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| and closer to divine reality than love. The feeling I wish to discuss is beyond love. Since | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| level. But I have never discussed one particular feeling, though it is implicit in everything else I | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| will find the eternal presence of God. The feeling I am describing might be called, for lack | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| for lack of a better name, the cosmic feeling. This cosmic feeling is not merely a theoretical | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| a better name, the cosmic feeling. This cosmic feeling is not merely a theoretical understanding, or a | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| is not merely a theoretical understanding, or a feeling about the cosmos or creation. It is a | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| shall explain the prerequisites for attaining this cosmic feeling, the four keys which make it possible. The | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| four keys which make it possible. The cosmic feeling is an experience in which feeling and thinking | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| The cosmic feeling is an experience in which feeling and thinking are no longer split. It is | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| and thinking are no longer split. It is feeling and thinking in one. This is hard to | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| of you have occasionally experienced the oneness of feeling and thinking. It is an experience of bliss | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| is part of the experience of the cosmic feeling. This experience lends an immense security, a knowledge | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| powerful presence is at first shocking. The good feeling is shocking. It is as if an electric | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| temporarily cut yourself off from this state of feeling and knowing, of experiencing life as it really | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| that you are still too afraid of this feeling, that is all right. You can calmly go | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| be seen in the context of the cosmic feeling. They are the following: 1. True understanding of | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| Another byproduct of your disconnection is your growing feeling of helplessness and powerlessness: dependency on others, with | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| feel all your feelings and to handle the feeling experience. It requires a bit of growing and | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| topic only as it relates to the cosmic feeling. If humankind goes through the depths of unhappy | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| experienced the truth that by fully accepting and feeling your pain, you become commensurately capable of sustaining | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| of the opposites. The more you avoid a feeling, the less can you experience its other side | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| can you experience its other side. The cosmic feeling is of the highest frequency of energy. If | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| of the highest frequency of energy. If any feeling within the ordinary human spectrum is still apparently | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| ordinary human spectrum is still apparently unmanageable, cosmic feeling is much too strong to bear. As long | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| As long as you shy away from a feeling, it remains a wall, it remains your enemy | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| start groping your way back. There is no feeling in existence, no matter what it is, that | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| life, for expanding your life and consciousness, for feeling joy and pleasure. Tiredness, listlessness, lack of energy | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| are always a product of running away from feeling and thus of repressing your vital energy. There | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| can be who you are, there is no feeling that cannot be a source of creative energy | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| feelings can your ability to sustain the cosmic feeling grow. It is important to understand this evolutionary | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| important to understand this evolutionary process of your feeling nature; it will explain why you are so | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| And if occasionally a glimmer of the cosmic feeling comes and quickly slips away, it is a | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| only a lukewarm, mild shadow of the cosmic feeling that encompasses everything. 3. Developing positive intentionality. You | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| in your psyche. And you cannot have cosmic feeling unless you have love. The commitment to make | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| that there is a deep nucleus of knowing, feeling, power, and presence within you. Focus on it | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
