| Investigate the motivations, both healthy and unhealthy, and ask yourself why you desired what you failed in | 97 PERFECTIONISM OBSTRUCTS HAPPINESS -- MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONS |
| step is to become aware of your distortions. Ask yourself: How do I experience my parents? Do | 99 FALSIFIED IMPRESSIONS OF PARENTS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE |

| come into existence. QUESTION: I would like to ask a question for my little grandson. He is | 103 HARM OF TOO MUCH LOVE GIVING -- CONSTRUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WILL FORCES |
| word for it, my dear ones. I always ask you not to do that. But think about | 104 INTELLECT AND WILL AS TOOLS OR HINDRANCES OF SELF-REALIZATION |

| if you do not even know what they ask of you and what you ask of them | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| what they ask of you and what you ask of them? And how can you trust yourself | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |

| you really desire to achieve. Then you may ask yourself what you intend to do for it | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| all life issues -- or limiting and destructive. Ask, what is constructive about it and why, and | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |

| applies to anything that makes you feel disharmonious. Ask yourself how you interpret what others feel and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| You can go to the next step and ask yourself: Is this real, or do I just | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| this into precise words, take the next step: ask yourself whether you are in reality, whether what | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| why. You will come to certain recognitions. Then ask your questions, and I will help you further | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| which to proceed. As long as you cannot ask yourself this question because you do not yet | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| an answer. Your particular key now is to ask yourself why you feel cruel. What do you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| believe. Then the next step must be to ask: Is it real, or do I only believe | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| possibilities that you had never thought of. Specifically, ask yourself the question: Do the circumstances, the desires | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| further from the truth. When you begin to ask yourself whether your feelings are true and commensurate | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |

| time, your lecture upset me very much. I ask myself if this is so because I am | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| the universal powers. QUESTION: As a physician I ask if there is any way that the cosmic | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| everyone, of course. QUESTION: I would like to ask a question that relates to the problem just | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| where you are most bound and most anxious. Ask yourself what it is you want from the | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| yet unwilling to relinquish. When you feel anxious, ask yourself: Where am I destructive? Where am I | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| at best only part of the whole picture. Ask yourself about anything you assume, Is this the | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| is all. Second, I would advise you to ask yourself whether you want to like people. What | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| to look at the side that says no. Ask yourself why not. Instead of theorizing -- no | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |

| and finding out what is amiss. When you ask yourself why you do not wish to love | 161 UNCONSCIOUS NEGATIVITY ENDANGERS SURRENDER OF EGO TO INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| may appear to you, or how world-shakingly important, ask yourself, What do I really believe exists? In | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| of reality to the next, you must also ask yourself the question whether you really want to | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| you need to find them. You need to ask yourself the appropriate questions. QUESTION: I am aware | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| between you and your father. You have to ask yourself the relevant questions. What do you really | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| anything for granted. It is essential that you ask yourself and answer these questions. Then you can | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| any frustration that comes along the next time. Ask yourself, Now, here is pain. I let myself | 163 MIND ACTIVITY AND MIND RECEPTIVITY |
| begin in this phase of your pathwork to ask, What makes me most happy? If you go | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| to acknowledge this fact and let go, then ask for the truth within you. It will come | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| unwelcome results will occur. Here, too, you must ask yourself precisely what you fear if you move | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| What is the fear that creates this tension? Ask yourself: What is the direct relationship between the | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| fleeting impressions into more concise awareness, you can ask yourself: Am I hopeless about deserving happiness because | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| are written down. Then feel into yourself and ask: Do I really believe that this is all | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| which you take this for granted, you can ask, Does it really have to be so? The | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| achieved only to a limited degree. People often ask, How does evil come into existence? Why did | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |
| four. Another part of step four is to ask a concise question of your innermost being: What | 176 OVERCOMING NEGATIVITY |
| it is only a question of degree. I ask even those of you who are relatively free | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| negative, destructive attitudes. Express this willingness concisely and ask for guidance. If you lack such willingness, examine | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| whether you really want to give it up. Ask yourself if holding onto it may not have | 181 THE MEANING OF THE HUMAN STRUGGLE |
| revelation of the egotistic infant, one needs to ask constantly the guidance of the universal self. When | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| exposing the negative side. It has also to ask for the help of the universal self. When | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| the infant reveals itself, the ego should again ask for the help of the universal self to | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| direct confrontation, communication, or dialogue with it and ask it further questions, as well as instruct it | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |
| you really believe in all this, my friends? Ask yourself this question. To the extent you pay | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| those smallest shadows of your everyday life and ask yourself what they mean. What do you not | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| Only when you decide to go through and ask for help in meditation do these resources become | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| the process described here. I bless you and ask you to open up your innermost being, your | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| when you feel that way. Realize this and ask for the truth, which is that there is | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| there is a problem. I suggest that you ask yourself, preferably on paper, so that it cannot | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| this predicament should deeply listen into themselves and ask: What is it that I really want? What | 186 VENTURE IN MUTUALITY: HEALING FORCE TO CHANGE NEGATIVE INNER WILL |
| childhood: You must now give me all I ask for, and you must protect me from all | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| It is therefore of utmost importance that you ask yourself to what degree you are afraid of | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
