| help, strength, and enlightenment that these lectures can give you. This last lecture of the season will | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| do you, my friends, say, But if I give in, if I let go of ego control | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| with the self. Face whatever the self is, give your very best self to life -- all | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| of letting go. When you really want to give your best total self to everything you do | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| honesty, this integrity and, also, the desire to give your best, positive self to a situation or | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| the natural impulse, the spontaneous urge, is to give abundantly -- as abundantly and generously as all | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| further implications. If you can let go and give up the destructive attitude, whatever it may be | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| trusted. To the degree you let go and give up a self-centered, selfish, self-pitying, or self-destructive attitude | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| not giving to them. The world wants to give to them, and yet they can never see | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| They resent most those who really want to give to them and whose giving they reject, thus | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| Allowing this to happen would help them to give, to become part of the creative process again | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| as it first seems when you wish to give what is in you. It is unbearable only | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| as you want to receive but not to give. Those who are still hooked, consciously or unconsciously | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| feel deprived because you make it impossible to give out of your wealth and are therefore afraid | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| go of the negativity and the refusal to give of yourself makes you unable to receive pleasure | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |

| this, the less you can either receive or give, and the less real feelings of any sort | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| this is the case, it becomes possible to give up what one has been so tightly holding | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| freedom you wish for yourself. You do not give the other person the right to freely choose | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| for asserting this freedom. You do not even give the other the right to be wrong without | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |

| You know that none of the visible alternatives give you that good feeling about yourself, that resilient | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |

| that they would rather forfeit their life than give in -- or so it appears to them | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| is why people yearn for the sensations drugs give, why a person suffering from insomnia will resort | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| liberated ego is unsupported by anything that can give it real sustenance. This, too, is very important | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| they do not wish to be positive, to give their best to life in whatever area they | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| wish to face and acknowledge it, let alone give it up. Knowing this puts you in an | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| It tells the story that one does not give oneself honestly to the business of living but | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| a sincere attitude that says: I want to give my very, very best to the process of | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| the universal law, so that I do not give myself to the divine within me? In the | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| wish to be better than others and not give an inch to them. These self-deceptions have to | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| to such attitudes, they do not want to give of themselves and thus violate the law of | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| about myself? Where do I not want to give of myself -- in some way? These are | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| law of truth -- can your ego safely give itself to the divine being within. Are there | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| you a certain pleasure you are unwilling to give up. Well, the price one pays is high | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| want it. What is it? I want to give my very best to this specific phase of | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| redeeming circumstances exist for you. The interpretation you give to those incidents is exaggerated and distorted a | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| like people, and do not be afraid to give yourself childish, irrational, illogical answers. Allow anything that | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| a negativity you ignore you have. You cannot give up a destructiveness you deny exists in you | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| and creative experience from within. The lectures first give an impetus to this process and later fortify | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| even know why you feel this way and give yourself a quick and easy answer, which may | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| society had no predigested answers ready. If you give some attention to what you really believe causes | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| it is nonsense, and you are relieved to give up the burdensome beliefs. In addition to such | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| while underneath you doubt it? Such considerations will give you the necessary logic to look at what | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| seem nevertheless real in all the discomfort they give. The opposites people struggle with create a tremendous | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| love, on the generous spirit of wanting to give of oneself. It is a subtle fear of | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| For only a happy individual can spread and give forth happiness. Only an individual who grows according | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| the two points. You do not want to give anything of yourself on this deep and secret | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| Oh, you may, in principle, be willing to give something, but only when everything is exactly according | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |

| wish to give to life, how can life give to you? So you run around in circles | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |

| the deliberate, although possibly unconscious, mean refusal to give of yourself to life and others -- will | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| remain negative toward life and others. As you give up the wish to remain negative and exchange | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| open up gradually and in its unfolding will give to you richly. Needless to say, this is | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| facing the truth, your goodwill to change and give up dishonest patterns. All these efforts and attitudes | 167 FROZEN LIFE CENTER BECOMES ALIVE |
| can be adequately explained as a struggle to give up the first and find a way into | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
