| It is so with self-love. There is a healthy kind that exists in the mature soul. But | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| But wherever unconscious attitudes and currents are distorted, healthy self-love will be distorted as well. Wrong kind | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| all, let us determine the difference between the healthy and unhealthy motives in desires. We will not | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| to find the difference between what makes desires healthy and what makes them unhealthy. One rule is | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| for the sake of itself, the desire is healthy. But when you desire something as a means | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| the goal was supposed to fill in a healthy way. This circumstance may be entirely unrecognized. You | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| desire may contain unhealthy motives in addition to healthy and conscious ones. Self-destructive and self-punishing forces, brought | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| you prohibits the fulfillment. This recognition will be healthy and will help you avoid further wrong impressions | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| feelings -- provided your attitude about it is healthy and without hidden elements. Remember this. The real | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| there is a mixture. You all have some healthy elements in you. If a person joins a | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| learns certain practices, in areas where he was healthy anyway and where he may just need a | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |

| not to confuse the opposite manifestation with a healthy reaction. I do not care what people say | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| is, of course, utterly impossible. It forfeits the healthy acceptance of one's own inadequacies, which enables the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| own inadequacies, which enables the personality to learn healthy humility and accept being no better than the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |

| selfish, but you will be unselfish in the healthy and free sense, reserving for yourself the consideration | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| creativity exists only in the healthy, or relatively healthy person. Many people have a great talent and | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that creative talent is possible only within the healthy soul. I merely wish to state that the | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
