| you are driven and controlled by the destructive force set in motion by your negative concept of | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| and its life-giving powers. You then proceed to force yourself into a loving state, not only because | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| it is not possible to live. So you force yourself to love with your ego-self, which attempt | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |

| beings are geared to think of a destructive force as something opposed to a constructive force. Even | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| destructive force as something opposed to a constructive force. Even those of you who theoretically know quite | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| own destructiveness and negativity. There is one life force which energizes every expression of life. The same | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| energizes every expression of life. The same life force can flow in a constructive, positive, affirming way | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| topic. First I will state that the life force as such, when untampered with, is totally constructive | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| can experience from and through the pure life force, in whatever way this may find expression. The | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| way this may find expression. The pure life force cannot be anything but beauty. Every life organism | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| that prohibit the natural flow of the life force, the extent of the damage depends upon how | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| temporary disturbance in the flow of the life force. People's persistent problems in life result from such | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the very point at which the positive life force turns into a destructive non-life force. Feelings turn | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| positive life force turns into a destructive non-life force. Feelings turn from love to fear and hostility | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| event in this life, when the positive pleasure force was blocked, hindered, or prohibited and has therefore | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| realization. Since the pleasure current in the life force primarily manifests itself in your life as sexuality | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| far more than before, when you tried to force it away without this understanding. All this may | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |

| as a powerful force. Be aware of this force, attune yourself to it, and you will perceive | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| this pull toward unity manifests as a tremendous force, moving individuals toward each other, making separateness painful | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| other, making separateness painful and empty. The life force therefore consists not only of the pull toward | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| of pleasure is the distortion of the life force and comes from opposing the creative principle. Life | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the same time, peaceful. Individual consciousness opposes this force, however, out of the erroneous idea that giving | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| pull cannot be eliminated. It is the evolutionary force itself, the reality in all that lives and | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| that, consciously or unconsciously, you equate the life force with annihilation, you struggle against life itself. This | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| you know that you distrust the greatest spiritual force and thus life itself. The distrust creates a | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| it really is. The misuse of this powerful force by no means proves an acceptance of and | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| then overcompensate by blindly, rebelliously, misusing your life force. This leads to pleasureless experiences and seems to | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| the conflict between giving in to the cosmic force and opposing it, the greater the extent of | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |

| distrust the cosmic force, and since the cosmic force manifests within yourself, you do not trust yourself | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| dissolve this conflict. The conflict congests the creative force, which is compatible with you and your destiny | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| of contact. The pleasure embodied in the greatest force in human life cannot be eliminated, but where | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| human life cannot be eliminated, but where this force is distorted, the pleasure becomes negative. Since contact | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |

| atmosphere around and within you are a powerful force, available to you provided you are open and | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| unconsciously held material covers and barricades the cosmic force. The mind believes it is expedient to block | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| is essential to be attuned to the cosmic force. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to take the | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| tightness. All this prohibits the flow of the force. The universal power must enter into all levels | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| held views, the fresh flow of the life force is prohibited. If there is unreal emotional intensity | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| If there is unreal emotional intensity, the life force cannot enter the emotional realm. If the physical | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| realm is muscularly tense and taut, the life force cannot enter the physical system. Thus gradual illness | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| -- the greater the influx of the cosmic force and, hence, the more heightened the pleasure. Intensity | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| is an integral aspect of the universal life force. Life is always moving, reaching out, expanding and | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| but firm screen that blocks out the life-giving force. They are responsible for your alienation from the | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |

| way the ingrained ideas work as the motor force of the power, and the ideas become self- | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| assumptions become self-regulating in the automatic reflexes they force upon you. Once you allow the negative material | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| inborn capacities, can completely surrender to the life force with its pleasure currents as it manifests in | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| in them. They will spontaneously express this powerful force; they will not fear or reject it. This | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| and meaninglessness. It is deadness because the life force in its vibrant flow is willfully interrupted and | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| Or, to put it more accurately, the positive force is twisted, disturbed, converted, distorted, and thus becomes | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| disturbed, converted, distorted, and thus becomes a negative force. This is not a different force that comes | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| a negative force. This is not a different force that comes newly into existence, as you know | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| more and more of any substance, of any force, of anything accumulates, the surfeit will create more | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| out the very feeling that makes up its force, then it becomes an unpleasant duty. Humanity fluctuates | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| the self. The latter happens naturally, not by force; it includes seeing new realities about the other | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| sense. Giving yourself to this apparently new inner force seems like going with a great, unknown wave | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| and made you turn them into a negative force. In other words, it is not so much | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| of what is in you, you diminish the force of the impulse to hurt. You understand that | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| felt experience, that this very same power, or force, turns back into the beautiful thing it was | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| out of anger, frustration and revenge, the sexual force has entered into this urge. Thus sexuality and | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| freedom, in a subtle way one wants to force others and the self to be what one | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| All the while you are torn between the force of the deeply hidden original need and the | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| you live in the old dependency pattern, you force others to make them do what you want | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| with its immediately accessible thinking processes and will force. With that attitude you shortchange yourself greatly. Such | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |

| strengthened and enlightened by the reality of the force that is flowing into you. If you are | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| that prohibit the free-flowing feeling of the life force. This free-flowing feeling can only affect you when | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| will develop the ego and allow the universal force to establish itself. This will happen in a | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
