| so that you can really use them for analysis. Otherwise you could not possibly dissolve the superstructure | 84 LOVE, POWER, SERENITY AS DIVINE ATTRIBUTES AND AS DISTORTIONS |

| matter in many ways, but in the final analysis it must always mean mastery over untruth -- | 95 SELF-ALIENATION AND THE WAY BACK TO THE REAL SELF |
| one's being. Quite the contrary! In the last analysis, it is not possible to grow spiritually to | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| and illusory form of self-protection. In the last analysis it is simply a barricade against happiness and | 98 WISHFUL DAYDREAMS |
| Your question is important. However, in the last analysis, the only way at one stage of your | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |

| magical, childish, bargaining and -- in the final analysis -- dishonest games. My friends, when you want | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |

| with those areas where you do love. The analysis and comparison of both attitudes with their results | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| of erroneous concepts. Error means, in the last analysis, a misunderstanding of life and of the universe | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |

| Every kind of fear amounts, in the last analysis, to fear of self; for if there were | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| frustrations that come your way? In the last analysis, of course, frustrations come your way due to | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| much tense desire is present. In the final analysis such tense desire comes from fear caused by | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| you will always find that, in the last analysis, you are apprehensive of your own evil, regardless | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| from contributing to life. So, in the final analysis, all acts flow from the underlying substance and | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| precisely that you guard against? In the last analysis it is always a pain you have suffered | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| by many outer factors, but in the last analysis they are always a product of running away | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |
| by what you may see. In the last analysis the fear is always unjustified, no matter how | 206 DESIRE: CREATIVE OR DESTRUCTIVE |
