| and healthy in areas where they do not resist change. There they are in harmony with the | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| conditions inside and outside themselves. Where they don't resist, their lives will be relatively free from crises | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| from crises; in the areas where they do resist change, crises are unavoidable. The function of human | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |
| This is a painful crisis, and people usually resist it with all their might. But imagine if | 183 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF CRISIS |

| a wonderful way to test how much you resist your conscious positive desire for fulfillment. To what | 194 MEDITATION: LAWS AND VARIOUS APPROACHES-SUMMARY (MEDITATION AS POSITIVE LIFE CREATION) |
| more subtle level. Jesus Christ said: Do not resist evil. This saying has been misunderstood in many | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| consciousness and energy, I shall interpret Do not resist evil from this angle. Do not resist evil | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| not resist evil from this angle. Do not resist evil points to the fact that resistance itself | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| adequate. The distorted thoughts, intentionality, feelings, and attitudes resist what is: truth, life, God -- any aspect | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| breeds more resistance, or evil. Self-will says, I resist any other way but my way, and my | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| which remove more and more resistance. Do not resist evil in you. By that I mean, give | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| you frantically clutch at this limited fragment. You resist the natural inner movement of the soul to | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| already joining the cosmic movement; other parts still resist and stagnate. Your moving parts are the aware | 199 THE MEANING OF THE EGO AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |

| the part that even says, I want to resist. I want to be spiteful. I want to | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| the scheme of things. If you do not resist going beyond the faulty, limited logic of materialistic | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| right. Always, of course, a few fear and resist so much that they deliberately obstruct their progression | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| which you could flow if you did not resist your present state. This is the way to | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| answer to the present disharmony. Indeed, you often resist because you fear something much worse than what | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| misplaced. Because if you need to fear and resist anything, it is the non-movement, the stagnation, the | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| meaningful reality conceivable. Therefore, my friends, when you resist following the inner movement that is so much | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| accusing life of being bad. You fear and resist the truth and beauty, the benign reality you | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| and hate yourself, you will not fear and resist the journey. You will go with it. When | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| a demanding path of self-confrontation and growth, but resist your experiences and states of mind, you will | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| place without crisis, and to the extent you resist growth, you create crisis. The lower self is | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| is going through such a struggle. Those who resist the light of the new consciousness have a | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| for a new influx, so that those who resist the movement will experience a painful crisis, while | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| endow the group with the power that you resist developing within yourself. You therefore go into the | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| the planet also harbors resistant elements that fear, resist and want to ignore the process. So you | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| thus those who want change and those who resist it in the overall entity to which all | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| goal. But you cannot do this when you resist change, for this flexible attitude requires a constantly | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| work. Ask yourself deeply, where do you still resist and defend, where do you hold on and | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| toward the end of your physical life. You resist the movement with the irrational idea that you | 241 DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT AND RESISTANCE TO ITS NATURE |
| of the negative trait, but too often you resist recognizing its effects. When you do fully recognize | 244 BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD -- THE EVIL OF INERTIA |
| to superior negative power structures. The moment you resist and obstruct your natural soul movement, your innate | 245 CAUSE AND EFFECT ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| true destiny are humanity's higher self. Those who resist it are humanity's lower self. As in your | 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY |
| means paying the price. On one level you resist, because you desire never to be accountable for | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| specific pain but to obtain the relief you resist most, that is, to ascertain the connections between | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| not. Do not fear this fact, do not resist it. You fear and resist knowing this because | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| fact, do not resist it. You fear and resist knowing this because you believe that your destructive | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| truer, divine values is hindered by parts that resist this movement, crisis and pain are inevitable. Pain | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
| the theory, but in your habitual thinking you resist its truth. You think of yourself as an | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| see it as a form of bargaining. You resist the concept because it offends human dignity. You | 250 INNER AWARENESS OF GRACE -- EXPOSING THE DEFICIT |
| rage and bitterness about what seems insane to resist and oppose -- is in a state of | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| a state in which they again begin to resist surrender. My point here is to show you | 254 SURRENDER |
| of all created beings--the striving toward oneness. You resist and fight it, to your great chagrin. For | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
