| and groping before the personality can accept all feelings, experiencing and handling them constructively. I have said | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| humankind goes through the depths of unhappy, painful feelings, it is because it has created them and | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| secure. This is so because the apparently opposite feelings are one and the same energy current, appearing | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| and you must remain frightened of your own feelings. By that dynamic you create the twice-removed alienation | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| way. If you air out your most negative feelings -- hate, cruelty, anger, and rage, and their | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| the powerful energy contained in the previously hidden feelings. This energy is absolutely essential for creating your | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |

| only when you allow and deal with negative feelings can you accept and sustain good feelings. By | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| negative feelings can you accept and sustain good feelings. By the same token, only when you can | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| when you can accept and sustain ordinary good feelings can your ability to sustain the cosmic feeling | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |

| of other people: their thoughts, their intentions, their feelings. This is not magic; it occurs naturally because | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| As you gain understanding and learn to experience feelings which you have previously avoided, you are setting | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| long as you are frightened of feeling your feelings. To the degree that it is so, you | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| open your heart and lose your fear of feelings, of being vulnerable. That is all you need | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| have all been in touch with very deep feelings that you have perhaps never before dared to | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| you still harbor a very important misconception about feelings, which is that you can somehow get rid | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| that you can somehow get rid of negative feelings. This is a slight distortion. Yet I do | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |

| this work in terms of getting rid of feelings, you must become confused. I have often said | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| so much in command of yourself, that all feelings can be moved out because this potential always | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |

| you eventually believe that these are your real feelings. The negative energy is being created by rigid | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| are often merely fixed opinions. And where your feelings should unfold, you are paralyzed and unable to | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| distortions will occur. For example, the deliberately produced feelings may be distorted through dramatization, exaggeration, fakery. Selfwill | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| us now consider what I said about negative feelings, namely, that it is a distortion to try | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| power over you. You can never put your feelings fixedly and definitively behind you. There is no | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
| on a false concept of life, and negative feelings, in this case fear, would develop. If you | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |

| able to bring out any last vestiges of feelings that have been neglected. Even when these feelings | 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES |
