| is a denial of the true, original life kernel. All this, my friends, may lead to the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| within yourself. Thus truth brings out the divine kernel, which itself becomes your anchor. False unselfishness makes | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| this human-divine consciousness removed itself from its divine kernel. A chain reaction set in and humanity's striving | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| in and humanity's striving away from the innermost kernel has led to erroneous ideas, destructive reactions and | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| suffering followed. Each successive distancing from the divine kernel created a new layer of consciousness, covering the | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| one and thus thickening the wall around the kernel. Rather than being nourished by the source, the | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| they also erect a barricade around the divine kernel, the self- perpetuating positive creative source. Nevertheless, each | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |

| emotional life is thwarted, union with the divine kernel is as difficult -- although not as far | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| as for the primitive human. For the divine kernel is a living, pulsating, energizing mass of the | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
