| and the fewer negative fields exist in your human psyche, the greater must be your trust in | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| it is not so easy to do; for human beings are often governed by impulses and drives | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |
| ways in a positive situation. In fact, a human being's natural, original inclination before any distortion has | 142 THE LONGING FOR AND THE FEAR OF HAPPINESS -- THE FEAR OF RELEASING THE LITTLE EGO |

| it differently, there are two fundamental possibilities for human consciousness: the dualistic and the unified plane. The | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| dualistic and the unified plane. The majority of human beings live predominantly on the dualistic plane, where | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| In other words, practically everything you encounter, every human problem, is shaped by this dualism. The unified | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| will also transcend the pain it causes. Few human beings transcend the dualistic plane, so most people | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| at any time by any entity, whether a human being in the flesh, or one who does | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| us understand this particular struggle, and therefore the human predicament, a little better. You already have, in | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| Let me demonstrate this in a familiar everyday human problem, so that you can understand these words | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| fight this way, the greater the confusion becomes. Human beings are habitually trained by upbringing, and everything | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| call that deep inner center existing in every human being, contains all wisdom and truth you can | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| however, this way of looking at your basic human struggle may help you considerably. As long as | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| were discussing the unitive and the dualistic principles. Human consciousness, perception, and experience are generally geared to | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| distinction to the growth process. As long as human consciousness is geared to duality and cannot transcend | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| the courage to transform yourself into a better human being for no other reason than a desire | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| or another that fear of loving underlies most human predicaments and conflicts. This may take different forms | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| manifestation of physical death in this sphere of human existence is precisely the result of duality. Duality | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |

| the relationship between the nature of life and human nature, for there is a very direct link | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| the nature of life on the absolute plane. Human consciousness is incapable of conceiving of the possibilities | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| good, for expansion, for unfoldment, for pleasure. The human scope is just too limited for this. Only | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| forms of consciousness which have evolved beyond the human scope and whose experience of life is infinitely | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| vistas, and the more expansive concepts. Yet most human concepts are expandable way beyond their present state | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| expandable way beyond their present state, so that human experience could be infinitely richer than it is | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| could be infinitely richer than it is. When human beings suffer from discontent and inner tension they | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| the following preposterous, paradoxical situation arises in the human soul. You fear life as an enemy. This | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| of non-life. As with every issue in the human psyche, this misconception is bound to bring about | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| of life is going on in practically every human being on this planet. Only the degree varies | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| minor extent; otherwise, this individual would not assume human form. The consciousness would not seek this particular | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| The many possibilities existing on this earth for human concern and philosophies can all be abused to | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| in one's conscious beliefs. But often, where the human experience requires the most direct, spontaneous freedom of | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| of destructiveness must be better understood. The whole human problem of a dualistic concept of life has | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| humanity's lack of comprehension of its own destructiveness. Human beings are geared to think of a destructive | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| expression of the dualistic misconception operative within all human consciousness. Actually, there is only one power. This | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| feelings connected with it are numbed altogether. When human beings find themselves on such a path, it | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| destructiveness has been instrumental in the widespread guilt human beings feel about all experiences of pleasure. This | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| if both are considered equally wrong? And yet, human beings cannot live without pleasure even if they | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| right here and now. Another area where you human beings find yourselves extremely blocked, hindered, and impatient | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| but it is. It is known that you human beings fear pleasure when you are still full | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| and this is usually the case with sane human beings -- there must be something in you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| individual mean? How does this apply to a human being? First of all, the whole plan of | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| destructive feelings, must then create negative contact. All human beings experience some counter-pull, even relatively integrated, healthy | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| The pleasure embodied in the greatest force in human life cannot be eliminated, but where this force | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| would like to discuss a feature of the human personality that seems relatively insignificant, merely psychological, yet | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| want to talk about is frustration. Like all human attitudes, frustration can easily be distorted into two | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| life principle and the pleasure stream. It is human error to assume that what you want is | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| origin is the profound, metaphysical conflict in all human beings. When this is perceived and experienced it | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| eliminate the effects of self-dislike. The most enlightened human beings still ignore the importance of this fact | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| door to the universe. Often the most rebellious human beings are most impregnated with mass opinions and | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| When the natural law is different from the human law, the difference becomes even more obvious. Those | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| being are often ignored. People who follow the human laws receive homage for their goodness and righteousness | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| often seems the most difficult thing for a human being to do, and yet it is the | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| Each moment contains indescribable wealth, my friends. The human mind lacks the equipment even to remotely conceive | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| particle has power to destroy vast areas of human habitation and millions of human lives. The same | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| vast areas of human habitation and millions of human lives. The same particle has power to affect | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| lives. The same particle has power to affect human life in positive ways equal to its destructiveness | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| attitude determines the direction this power takes. The human race begins to be aware of the power | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| smallest. The concept is new and strange to human thinking, which heretofore has measured power in terms | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| of atoms, a revolutionary reorientation has begun, forcing human beings into recognizing that power is not a | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| unfortunately, the fate of all truth in the human realm, and it goes beyond the limitations of | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| beyond the limitations of expressing spiritual truth in human language. Language can lend itself well to concealing | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| truthful with the self can avoid distortion. The human tendency to run away from the self prompts | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| However simple it really is, it is a human peculiarity to find it very difficult to adopt | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| This is why the self-realized state, conveyed in human language, often sounds deceptive. Its properties may so | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| It has to do with the hope a human being could have... ANSWER: It upsets you because | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| can be applied in some way directly to human beings by physical means, by physical devices -- | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| potentials. This, in short, is the state of human consciousness as a whole. When you begin to | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| the self and from daily life, that splits human nature into the spiritual and the physical being | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| personal existence. This is the current condition of human beings. You live under the illusion that life | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| existence. This illusion has brought death into the human realm, for death is nothing but this illusion | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| fall into space. At the core of the human predicament there always lies the feeling, If I | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| different physical laws, corresponding to their overall consciousness. Human science, even from the merely materialistic point of | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| to describe certain overall, fundamental levels of the human personality: the higher self, meaning the real potential | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| potential in everyone, the universal life in every human core; the lower self, made up of all | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| themselves when they are hostile, aggressive, cruel. All human beings have a similar reaction to their real | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| personal traumatic experiences, or connects with the deeper human problem applying to all individuals that I discussed | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| beauty of this part of creation. The perennial human battle is holding on to the outer ego-faculties | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| of the involuntary creative processes contained in every human soul. To get to this point, you have | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| growth as does any other part of the human organism. When this part of human nature is | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| of the human organism. When this part of human nature is fully grown, the self-regulating quality manifests | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| This is possible, indeed, for each and every human being who is willing to follow these steps | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| on the spiritual and physical levels of a human being. What I explained about the advisable approach | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| misunderstanding of what I am talking about. A human being must exert discrimination and choice. You have | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| It is easily observable that the healthier a human being is, the less he or she fears | 154 PULSATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| denying attitude of the outer ego. The average human being experiences some aliveness at least at certain | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| the cosmic flow as it manifests in each human being if it is unhampered. The destructive forces | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| in every conceivable degree. They exist in every human being. They exist to the degree that positive | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| circles that result from every error instituted in human living. Because positive forces are restricted, negative forces | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| some time, and quite correctly so, that a human being's unfulfilled needs to receive create damaging conditions | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| is not given the proper sustenance, so the human soul becomes thwarted when its needs are not | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| may take as many forms as there are human personalities. Many people are not even aware of | 155 FEAR OF SELF -- GIVING AND RECEIVING |
| that exist for you. For only too often human beings believe themselves to be bound, paralyzed, helpless | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the self, nor dramatizing oneself into an all-bad human being. All this often takes place on an | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| to the world. The difference of how you human beings want to be and how you really | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| This happens over and over to the entire human race -- primarily out of ignorance and fear | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| It is available at any minute, in any human being's life, right here and right now. But | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| thus makes spiritual self-realization impossible. As long as human beings separate earth from heaven, body from spirit | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| see that this idea is not easy for human beings to embrace, for it is so contrary | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| creation -- that all exists already and that human beings can make these existing possibilities manifest -- | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| to do so. It is your prerogative as human beings to make use of these laws of | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| It is not possible to be really happy! Human life is very limited. Happiness, pleasure, and ecstasy | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |

| and blind rebellion and over-aggressiveness. Few things give human beings as much pain and shame as this | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| for the very necessary supply of pleasure. A human being cannot live without pleasure. To deny this | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| and express these rich feelings. This is your human tragedy, for you thus move into a vicious | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |

| the real self. At best, the more enlightened human beings accept its existence as a philosophical precept | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| self, of the creative substance that enlivens every human being, forget in ninety-five percent of your daily | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| people -- and they comprise the majority of human beings -- become tremendously frightened and insecure. They | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| contradiction. Let us come back to those fundamental human fears I listed before and consider them in | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| only with the ego. This is why no human being who has activated his real self and | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| of fulfillment, is a reality applicable to all human beings. At first, it is only a question | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| the vaster consciousness, which still remains in all human beings. Unless this split-off part is integrated with | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| as far as the universal mind is concerned. Human consciousness is not separate from universal consciousness. In | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| the same. As with conscious and unconscious, the human and the universal mind are merely separated by | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| talked about many dualistic aspects, many false alternatives human beings belabor and suffer from. You get more | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |

| these delights. When this is followed through, the human system functions well. Every energy unit has its | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| cannot penetrate you. The same principle exists in human life. Whenever you notice and respond only to | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| result of unawareness of the inner reality of human life. A deliberate tuning into deeper, more sensitive | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| determines the harmonious relationship, or balance, between the human body and the body of water. In spite | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| goes on and on. The greatest step a human being can undertake is to say, With all | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| to do so, directly and indirectly. For no human being can truly be healthy and in balance | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| automatic, generally accessible of these states is sleep. Human beings who are deeply troubled are so because | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| and filled with the pleasure supreme that all human beings long for. Once the ego dips into | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| real self cannot ever be eradicated from the human heart, no matter how much conflict, confusion and | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| say once again, in this context, that the human need to transcend the ego, to let go | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| or believe in the evil nature of certain human beings. You will then see that such hate | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |

| Let us now take the example of a human being who neglects his or her personal growth | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
