| no such thing as a decision that is good on the one hand and bad on the | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |

| greed? COMMENT: Often we don't know what is good for us. What one wants with one's little | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |
| God is not a disciplinarian; God is beyond good or evil. People often cannot conceive of God | 126 CONTACT WITH THE LIFE FORCE |

| mass and personal images: (1) If this is good, then that is bad, everything is either black | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| the point of view of right or wrong, good or bad, this is a shallow and insufficient | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| Whenever one meditates in such a fashion, in good faith and sincerity, in fullness of will, answers | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| a loser means to be unselfish, self- sacrificing, good, kind, and considerate. Some people adopt one alternative | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| success in a career, health, a fruitful mutuality, good friends, liberation from an inner problem, or a | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| is within the scheme of Creation. It is good and right for all concerned, and there is | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| Wisdom, intelligence, strength, happiness, love, abundance -- everything good that exists in the universe is in you | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| This you fear. In order to be a good, obedient child, you negate this possibility. You are | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| sufficiently developed. And here you have a very good illustration of what I spoke of in this | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| resignation, in a positive spirit that awaits the good possibilities, even though the rigid, childish version is | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| guilt in the first place. You have made good progress in your work. Now, if you uncover | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| layer assures you that you are nearly as good as you want to be, that you are | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| have not truly discovered that which is genuinely good and loving within you. But you dare not | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| you completely. This stage is significant and indicates good progress. The struggle to turn away from facing | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| their heads, where it does not do any good, unless they use the intellectual maturity thus gained | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| understand you correctly that aggression is sometimes a good thing? ANSWER: Yes, there is a healthy aggression | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| verbally express these feelings when there is a good purpose, such as with my helper, I will | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| in this situation? ANSWER: This is a very good question. Where there is fear of expressing a | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| from and increases duality; it always opposes the good to the bad. Ungenuine love is always connected | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| seems inevitable when love is attempted by outer good will. When, however, you use outer good will | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| outer good will. When, however, you use outer good will in order to recognize that behind your | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| you feel and are -- which will be good and right. My dearest friends, be blessed, all | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| have to cope with making the decision between good and evil. Some philosophies postulate that there is | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| more than a theory you must test with good faith, willingness, and openness. Later, the theory is | 134 THE CONCEPT OF EVIL |
| where you seem to be confronted with one good and one bad alternative. I have discussed this | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| outside of yourself. The ideal is the apparently good alternative; the bad alternative seems to be that | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| seems. A flat, unliving quality constricts both the good and the bad alternatives and thus deadens the | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| the chain reaction is a narrow choice between good and bad, which forces not only the self | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| seems to be divided between a rigid, sterile good and a flatly bad alternative. The self cannot | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| chain reaction, following self-alienation, is that these apparently good and bad alternatives turn into two equally undesirable | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| innermost being, which is utterly trustworthy, wise, and good. When you do that, you find out that | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| there are not just two alternatives, one falsely good and one falsely bad, or in fact two | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| there are many beautiful alternatives. In reality all good can be had. There is no fear of | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| an end; nor does desire for all the good in creation need to be feared as a | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| of life, the reality of life, is unlimited good. To the extent you can embrace this possibility | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| more and more possibilities to unfold and experience good, to give and receive good. That is the | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| unfold and experience good, to give and receive good. That is the miracle of creation, as natural | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| is unlimited freedom and possibility for experiencing the good. That possibility is given to everyone. The healing | 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF |
| come forth, carrying infinite possibilities for bliss, for good, for limitless expansion, they seem to be totally | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| right now, into actions and feelings that are good and productive in this moment. And then, let | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| life in whatever way possible with all the good that is in you, you will see a | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| your inner being and become sincere in your good will to find the truth of me and | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| free and know that what you are is good. But this knowledge can come only when that | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| can come only when that which already is good in you is offered up to life. Me | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| that their outlook is the reason for their good luck or bad luck, for their fulfillment or | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |

| assets. This is the nature of anything good. Good cannot exist by itself. It must communicate itself | 138 THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF DESIRE FOR, AND FEAR OF, CLOSENESS |
| see among you, my friends -- despite your good progress -- that this is still vastly overlooked | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| overlook and neglect the enjoyment of all the good circumstances in your life, you must be commensurately | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| you, you must simultaneously become aware of the good in you, your values and assets. This will | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| itself. This also causes you to overlook the good that is in your life and that you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| and therefore inevitably from life, with all its good possibilities -- are manifold. In the course of | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| unafraid and relaxed about yourself. You cannot be good friends with yourself. You can be good friends | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| be good friends with yourself. You can be good friends with yourself when you accept, acknowledge, understand | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| unwilling to unveil, in spite of all your good efforts. Yet, as long as you cannot meet | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| to experience the world of truth, where all good exists and is self-perpetuating. Therefore there is no | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| only then can the underlying world of self-perpetuating good be reached, where you no longer have to | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| never undesirable. It always proves to be eminently good from every conceivable point of view. It never | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| further you remove yourself from all that is good and peaceful, and the heavier the price you | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| from the level of your being where all good exists, and you need to find this essential | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| find it safer than the limitless expansion of good that opens up when you let go of | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| we understand the fear you have of the good -- which leads you to cling to the | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| entrust yourself to the life stream, to the good, and to the unfoldment of your soul. Be | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| shortsighted that they call the positive energy fields good luck and the negative bad luck. When you | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| is particularly true of those who believe in good luck and bad luck because they cannot see | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| an opening can occur in one session of good and deep discussion. If you can discover the | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| wonderful demonstration and example and it is therefore good that you bring it out here, for it | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| mutual proposition, whether or not that relationship is good, must be brought home to all who are | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| you perceive and experience everything in opposites: either/or; good or bad; right or wrong; life or death | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| consciousness there are no opposites. There is no good or bad, no right or wrong, no life | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| wrong, no life or death. There is only good, only right, only life. Yet it is not | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| life. Yet it is not the kind of good, or right, or life that comprises only one | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| and is completely different from either one. The good, the right, the life that exist on the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| what happens: You sense that there is only good, freedom, right, beauty, love, truth, life, without a | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| against you. The illusion that one side was good and the other was bad has brought you | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| soon what at first appeared as one certain good and one obvious bad ceases to be so | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| ceases to be so, and you inevitably encounter good and bad on both ends. When this road | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| no longer is there any bad, but only good. The road leads deep inside the real self | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| to this deep inner center, which unifies all good and is instantly accessible? It is, however, beyond | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| right, to have it your way. Discover the good in all situations, whether you deem them good | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| good in all situations, whether you deem them good or bad, right or wrong. Needless to say | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| before. Blessing means the vigorous total wish for good, coming from the innermost self, from the divine | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| the divine inner being, the wish for the good of the unitive principle, which holds that there | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| means that everything is perceived in opposites -- good or bad, desirable or undesirable, life or death | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| illusion. Unification does not mean, however, that the good of the dualistic either/or is realized. People who | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| is, the unitive principle -- is unattainable. The good of the unitive principle is of an entirely | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| is of an entirely different nature than the good of dualism. The former conciliates both sides, while | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| struggle against their natural destiny, which is so good. You put all your faith in a principle | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| as you view your goal of growth as good, as opposed to bad. On the unitive plane | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| ugliness; life is not the opposite of death; good is not the opposite of bad, because in | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| of whether the experience accords with the desired good. You perceive that every living moment contains the | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| do you cling and tightly insist that your good should be given to you. You are then | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| where there is nothing to fear and only good exists. You can reach for this good without | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| only good exists. You can reach for this good without urgency and obtain it precisely because you | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| cling to the idea that construction is always good, while destruction is always bad. The unification of | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| the actual loss or absence of a desired good hurts much less when one does not see | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| It can be reached on and through the good side as well as on and through the | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| quietly know the truth of life, that all good is yours, that the universe contains all good | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| good is yours, that the universe contains all good, that there is an abundance free from conflict | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| free from conflict; in other words, that your good never interferes with anyone else's good. Your good | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| that your good never interferes with anyone else's good. Your good does not bring any bad for | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| good never interferes with anyone else's good. Your good does not bring any bad for anyone. When | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| lack of fulfillment. You will know that infinite good exists, with no conflicts between you and others | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| its vibrating life, limitless abundance, infinite possibilities for good, and its supreme wisdom and joy happens to | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| its destiny, when such destiny brings nothing but good? Why do you resist hearing the call of | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| when it brings you all that is safe, good, productive, and joyful? This is the tragic battle | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| through certain meditations that the universe contains unlimited good, available to you if you open yourself to | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| cannot break through. Trying to attain this undifferentiated good with your ego-self does not work. Where your | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| is incompatible with the unified world of all good since it is split off from it in | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| duality. It can be open only to partial good to which there exists -- as always in | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| undesirable side may weaken the wish for the good -- entirely unconsciously. Also, whatever stands in the | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| the deep inner conscience feels undeserving of all good and cringes from it. That very character defect | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| makes the personality unable to cope with the good even where it exists. Only the total self | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| self can relate to and unite with total good. You can test this right now. Take any | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| from the reality of the life where all good is available. Instead, you have to interpret the | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| always tends to show to others how right, good, or superior one is. When you moralize, you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| motive. The motive is to appear right or good -- to prove something. A person who genuinely | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| consequently no obstruction to the unlimited abundance of good available in the universe for every single individual | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| yourself stuck in your desire to reach unlimited good and creative power within yourself, find a key | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| and capable of receiving from it. Then no good you desire needs to have a shadow side | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| can enrich you? Why do you resist the good and battle to maintain painful struggle and insoluble | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| and insoluble conflict? Why do you fear the good that liberates you? And why do you put | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| are capable of reaching for and receiving the good of the universe only when your defects are | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| yourself sufficiently to open yourself to all the good that wants to come to you. When you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| activation of an inner center in which all good, salvation from anxiety, insecurity, and confusion exist? If | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| your innermost being enable you to realize unlimited good. (2) Find the exact point where your positive | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| words, we return to the basic duality of good versus bad. One facet seems good, desirable; the | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| duality of good versus bad. One facet seems good, desirable; the other bad, undesirable. Activity is often | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| self is your ultimate reality, and the only good exists in your facade. Only when this first | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| Hence life is limitless in its possibilities for good, for unfoldment, for yet richer and greater experience | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| of conceiving of the possibilities that exist for good, for expansion, for unfoldment, for pleasure. The human | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| they do not really believe either the fake good feelings or the negative ones they produce to | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| -- one does not trust in the ultimate good of one's own personality nor, consequently, anyone else's | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| and senseless, that destructiveness does not serve one good purpose. Nevertheless, you find yourself in the situation | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| the relaxed powerful flow of reaching toward the good that can be yours. It makes you very | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| destructiveness. Once you comprehend the uniting principle, that good is never divisible, a number of problems are | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| beginning of this lecture, on this plane the good and the bad forces, pleasure and pain, are | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| denial of your very nature is right and good. You justify this irrational attitude by pointing to | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| be the opposite of the body and therefore good. It is not true that all your difficulties | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| is to understand that the innermost instincts are good if they are not interfered with; they are | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| seek complete fulfillment, you separate yourself from feeling good. But often the temptation to remain in the | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| you want -- first, by giving you a good feeling about yourself and by putting you in | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| says, I want to be happy and feel good without having to trust and give over to | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
