| in yourself, in God! 139. DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY Greetings, my dearest | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| all of you with all you need to live productively. This live center furnishes you with energy | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| with all you need to live productively. This live center furnishes you with energy, life force, wisdom | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| soft openness. By these various defense mechanisms, the live center becomes more and more overlaid, hidden and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| -- the child cannot handle this soft, malleable live center in which the most powerful, creative and | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| For its own protection, it must separate the live center from its consciousness. However, when the child | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| handle life. The existence of this bare, vulnerable live center can be determined not only by remembering | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| best with life. The means to inactivate the live center are various: separating and withdrawing, toughening yourself | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| fruitful way. For this vulnerable spot is the live center out of which all energy and wisdom | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| give pleasure. The potent energy deriving from the live center can be utilized most constructively and meaningfully | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| constructively and meaningfully in the realization that the live center must become a conscious aspect, to be | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| handle life. The inner wisdom contained in the live center begins to manifest only after integration with | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| now is: 1) observe the existence of the live center, 2) observe the mechanics by which you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| stop the mechanics of disengagement and allow the live center's unfoldment. Through appropriate meditations, integration between the | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| center's unfoldment. Through appropriate meditations, integration between the live center and the ego will take place, so | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| its faculties intact, yet separated from that vulnerable live center. The vulnerable live center is separated from | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| separated from that vulnerable live center. The vulnerable live center is separated from your wakeful consciousness -- | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| -- that is your problem. The more the live center is unrealistically and inadequately defended and blocked | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| but in the unconscious emotions -- when the live center is not denied and hindered, but recognized | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| allowed to function. The intense feelings of the live center can then be compared to reality, as | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| richness of feelings as they manifest from the live center, the human personality cripples itself and puts | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| of balance. Bring together the manifestation of the live center, with its vulnerability and its strength of | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| as a result of a separation between the live center and the ego. To put it in | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| which causes the individual to further inactivate the live center. It is not only the child who | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| usually let it go at that and you live in a fog, a haze, in which you | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| others. Point 4: Establish in what moments the live center is bare -- as in the vulnerable | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| ego-faculties. When this integration takes place, the vulnerable live center is no longer vulnerable in a negative | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| spot, which is the essence of the real live center, without which you cannot successfully live. When | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| real live center, without which you cannot successfully live. When you formulate precisely what you think others | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| be a free world in which you can live without fear, a world of light in which | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| You will find it immediately behind that vulnerable live center, once you allow the first manifestations of | 139 DEADENING OF THE LIVE CENTER THROUGH MISINTERPRETATION OF REALITY |
| flavor and atmosphere. The physical, material world you live in manifests the positive, the negative, and presents | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| can transcend it by transforming yourself. You must live it through, not by denying it or struggling | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |

| understand that life, for anyone who wants to live it successfully, must be led according to these | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |
| the unified plane. The majority of human beings live predominantly on the dualistic plane, where you perceive | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| in the flesh, or one who does not live in a material body. The unified state of | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| ideas, vanity, pride, selfwill, and fear. When this live center activates you, you begin your limitless unfoldment | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| admiration, agreement that I need in order to live. This argument means that somewhere deep down you | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| if you go by unnoticed, you cease to live. This may sound exaggerated, but it is not | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| life. In taking from life -- and the live center within yourself -- and in giving back | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| principle. Whenever you believe that in order to live I must be better than others, I must | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |

| frequently. But to understand this theoretically and to live it are two entirely different things. The work | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| What is your aim in life? Do you live just to make do as best you can | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |

| apathy contains a much greater terror than any live hurt, pain, or unhappiness ever could. You see | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| their illusions, which they unconsciously believe they cannot live without. Those people who have reached the point | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| lack of fulfillment through false feelings. People who live a false life with false feelings often believe | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| state the desire and intent to want to live in reality and feel real feelings, the more | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| is what I am going to do: to live in reality, to see the false, to stop | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| can your real feelings manifest. See this and live it; proceed in this direction, and your life | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| exists or does not exist outwardly. Those who live this way live in reality, and reality will | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| not exist outwardly. Those who live this way live in reality, and reality will adapt itself eventually | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| considered equally wrong? And yet, human beings cannot live without pleasure even if they have to have | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| it, to let it unfold within you, to live it through within yourself -- and then you | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| pull in the manifest universe in which you live. This pull is part of the creative principle | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |

| The second grade on this scale is to live for the sake of impressing others. We discussed | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| in this particular triad is when you truly live for your own sake, when you do and | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| want things for their own sake. Most individuals live on all three levels. These aspects interact and | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| with people. Some are much more developed and live predominantly on the third, and only minor aspects | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| in this respect? To the extent that you live in either of the first two spheres of | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| The latter can come only if you first live through what is in you now and invest | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
