| see any solution and will be unable to give up the compulsive fight. But with the help | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| to prove yourself. Your emotions will learn to give up the useless and exhausting inner fight in | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| unhealthy motives of their own may appear to give in temporarily and obey your command. But such | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| to be loved, while you are unable to give love -- certainly not to the degree you | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| best. This means that you request others to give you something that you are inwardly unwilling to | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you something that you are inwardly unwilling to give them. You request unconditional love. You expect to | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| your emotional reactions, that makes you unable to give love; 3) your world of illusion wherein you | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is no abyss, you will be able to give up the request. Hence, you will be without | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| there is no need to be unwilling to give love. With this willingness, your capacity to love | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| show discrimination in the kind of love to give others, and you will be undisturbed also in | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to love to your utmost capability, or you give your love full force to those who may | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| shall try to combine them, so as to give you the essence of this quotation, as it | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to man? It is God. And God will give you strength if you try to know yourself | 70 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| studying the greatest wisdom of the ages will give you only theoretical knowledge that has no real | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |

| is legitimate only if you are prepared to give as much as you ask. This is reality | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| ask for more than one is willing to give, nor is it reality to claim one does | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| and that to prove true love you must give up your personal integrity, your legitimate needs, your | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| it. To the degree that you learn to give up your forcing current and become free of | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| disappointment made you do. Only then can you give up your forcing current and thus your self-created | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| how honest I am, so that you will give me the admiration I want. The dramatization can | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| about here. Without the forcing current, you will give another person the freedom to feel about you | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| in such a state of mind; you will give more to others. The giving will not always | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| that your will was not done. You will give the freedom you could not possibly have given | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| conditions prevailed in you. By giving freedom, you give basic human respect, regardless of whether your will | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| freedom you have and, therefore, the freedom you give -- you can perceive reality. It is then | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| under the misconception that true love means to give up your self-respect and dignity. You think you | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| self-respect and dignity. You think you have to give in to the most selfish part of another | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| work that we do. I should like to give some further advice about the concentration exercises. I | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| and this is a pity. So, let me give you some further suggestions with which some of | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| emotions we discussed today. Then these words should give a direction in which to search. If you | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| have described here, and my words will help give you clarification. But you can never forcefully attempt | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| worship you, to follow your every whim, to give up all self-direction, and to be governed by | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| another person's will. You do not wish to give up your autonomy submitting to the rule of | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| be uninfluenced by it, feeling neither obliged to give in, nor feeling guilty if you do not | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| simple and as logical as that. When you give up your childish idea of how others should | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| about you as they wish. If you can give this inner permission genuinely, you will learn to | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| this inner permission genuinely, you will learn to give up your demand without feeling hostile; you will | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| emotional reaction in you as you learn to give up your subtle forcing current. You will feel | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| response. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to give simple respect and affection. By giving up a | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| respect yourself, not only for the ability to give up something you want freely and without hostility | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| in your evaluation of others and learning to give up your will gracefully. Thus you learn human | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| perceptions, a growing and unfolding intuition that will give you a stronghold and security such as you | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
