| by this dualism. The unified principle combines the opposites of dualism. By transcending dualism you will also | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| the unified plane of consciousness there are no opposites. There is no good or bad, no right | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| that comprises only one pole of the dualistic opposites. It transcends them both and is completely different | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| of the unified principle, through which things become opposites that impose conflicts. This creation of irreconcilable opposites | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| opposites that impose conflicts. This creation of irreconcilable opposites generates a tension within and therefore with the | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| words. They mean the unification of the dualistic opposites, so that there is no longer any tension | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| and against the other of any number of opposites. This applies not only to material issues but | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| Every truth can thus be divided into two opposites, one being adhered to as the right and | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| success with the desirable alternative of the two opposites. The helplessness and hopelessness, the wasted energy of | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| unitive principle, which holds that there are no opposites and no conflicts. When this unobstructed wish flows | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| principle. This means that everything is perceived in opposites -- good or bad, desirable or undesirable, life | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| universal, cosmic truth is always unified and transcends opposites in the realization that the belief in opposites | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| opposites in the realization that the belief in opposites is illusion. Unification does not mean, however, that | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| they hope to attain one of the illusory opposites as the salvation. As long as one opposes | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| you seek one side of a pair of opposites, you must oppose the other side. In that | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| plane of consciousness, because there are no more opposites to be feared, the dichotomy no longer exists | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| curve that perpetually recycles itself, always expressing two opposites. It is the state of cause and effect | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| missing it because you derive joy from both opposites of the dualistic state. This is, briefly, as | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| is always bad. The unification of these two opposites can come only in the unitive state as | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| makes them one movement, instead of two warring opposites. Hence you will no longer be discouraged, nor | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| can be reached principally by two roads, both opposites of the dualistic state. It can be reached | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| it will be possible to conciliate two apparent opposites. The state of unity is a fearless state | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| of experiencing life, activity and passivity appear as opposites. But in the reality of the highest state | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| regulated by this principle, each of these seeming opposites containing both active and passive elements. Work coming | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| an opposite state, hence they must produce more opposites, more irreconcilable poles. For example, a false feeling | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| and peace. The false feeling cannot combine apparent opposites, such as excitement and peace. They must seem | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| as excitement and peace. They must seem incompatible opposites that cannot be reconciled, so that the person | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| these cases, pleasure and pain must exist as opposites. As I said at the beginning of this | 148 POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY: ONE ENERGY CURRENT |
| they are evil and regards them as the opposites of divine life, or spiritual life. So you | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| attitudes, frustration can easily be distorted into two opposites, both equally destructive. Everyone knows that the inability | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| discovery of this new life reconciles the apparent opposites of being an individual and being at one | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| of a whole. These are no longer irreconcilable opposites, but interdependent facts. All such opposites, all apparently | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| longer irreconcilable opposites, but interdependent facts. All such opposites, all apparently mutually exclusive alternatives that cause so | 152 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGO AND THE UNIVERSAL POWER |
| truth, not for truth. This is what makes opposites of discipline and letting go. By the same | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| that removes all threats, that combines the apparent opposites of discipline and letting go is the ever-renewed | 153 THE SELF-REGULATING NATURE OF INVOLUNTARY PROCESSES |
| incapable of establishing healthy living. These are not opposites or mutually exclusive facts, my friends. Before we | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |

| when, through your personal evolution, you transcend the opposites and conciliate them, can you reach the unitive | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| and accepted as long as they appear as opposites, so that the inner tension diminishes. Some opposites | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| opposites, so that the inner tension diminishes. Some opposites are no longer experienced as one versus the | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| in reality it is this way with all opposites, even those that seem most difficult to comprehend | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| to show you that even a pair of opposites like health and sickness does not, in reality | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |

| cancel each other out. In truthful perception, both opposites are accepted and function organically, mutually aiding each | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| the mind holds true actually happens: the two opposites annul each other. The further result of this | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| polarities lies in seeing the good in both opposites. This alone will lead to truth, reality, health | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| to the point when you can embrace both opposites in their truthful, real, healthy manifestations. More and | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| unitive whole, a dualism makes two mutually exclusive opposites out of them. When both sides of the | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| resolve the problem. The healthy version of these opposites is a harmonious balance of proper self-responsibility and | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| an unpleasant truth and self-acceptance into mutually exclusive opposites. But before I will discuss this in greater | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| spiritual and physical pleasure are one -- not opposites. Pleasure, in the real sense, is intensely fleshly | 177 PLEASURE -- THE FULL PULSATION OF LIFE |
| is always easy to get lost in two opposites, which are both wrong when they appear as | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| are both wrong when they appear as real opposites. This principle is clearly illustrated here. Acceptance and | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| here. Acceptance and rejection of frustration are not opposites but can form a beautiful oneness. The attitude | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| are dispensed with. Again, we have two apparent opposites. The right kind of self-assertion, which accepts the | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| considerations, instead of wishful thinking. The paradoxes and opposites that you constantly deal with in life will | 182 PROCESS OF MEDITATION (MEDITATION FOR THREE VOICES: EGO, LOWER SELF, HIGHER SELF) |

| of duality where you must battle with the opposites -- pleasure and pain, life and death, good | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |
| death, good and evil. You cannot transcend these opposites as long as the key of life is | 188 AFFECTING AND BEING AFFECTED |

| both apparent opposites. The moment you see this, opposites exist no longer. You then pass into a | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| a typical dualistic picture. We have apparently two opposites -- faith and doubt. Religion will glibly say | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| version, faith and doubt are not mutually exclusive opposites. They complement each other. The real kind of | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |

| areas of your inner life to fuse such opposites so that contradictions no longer exist and become | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| and become conciliated. This must apply to all opposites on your level of reality. So if there | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| this level of consciousness, divine manifestations appear as opposites, but as I so often mention, are not | 228 BALANCE |
| But in the dualistic misconception they appear as opposites. Although they are a manifestation of the dualistic | 228 BALANCE |

| On the emotional level, this mental clarification of opposites creates an entirely new mode of being, of | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| Not to see your world in terms of opposites, of duality, appears the crassest form of delusion | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
