| that sometimes takes hold of you -- quite unconsciously and hidden -- toward a brother or sister | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| a judge, although you may do so quite unconsciously. This balance is very, very subtle, my friends | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| from behind the wall but strengthening the wall unconsciously by employing halfway measures. When and how does | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| with a particular form of authority he is unconsciously a law-upholder, but consciously he is a definite | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| question. Once the recognition has been made that unconsciously one is a law-upholder, while one rebels consciously | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| mean it. Law means to you -- often unconsciously -- something you are forced, or compelled to | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |
| is: In my ignorance I believe -- perhaps unconsciously so far -- that selfishness will bring me | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| only indirectly, thereby bringing an indirect consequence. You unconsciously choose the latter alternative, recognizing that the open | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| -- unjustified guilt and justified guilt. Often you unconsciously use an absurd, unjustified guilt as a shield | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| not want to face it, hence you look unconsciously for something you cannot be blamed for. Thus | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| to bother you. Of course, all this happens unconsciously. Ironically, the true guilt may be infinitely smaller | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |
| cannot have your cake and eat it too. Unconsciously, most people constantly want to have it both | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |

| have a positive and optimistic attitude consciously, but unconsciously you can also have the opposite. This can | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |

| would be that much greater. Therefore the child unconsciously avoids happiness, thinking to atone in this way | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| was, but in a different sense. The personality unconsciously feels that if such love does exist at | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| motives for the limited love you give are unconsciously based on the great vicious circle, you can | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |
| be loved exclusively. And you still live -- unconsciously -- with the wrong conclusion that if a | 50 THE VICIOUS CIRCLE |

| to that same degree will fear and frustration unconsciously be felt toward God. God is then believed | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| who stand for authority -- and are, therefore, unconsciously associated with God -- your unconscious belief in | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| unjust, pious, self-righteous and cruel. The person who unconsciously maintains the distorted God-image rightly fears this deity | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| good, loving, indulgent. This causes the personality to unconsciously think that one can get away with anything | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| The personality may grapple between these two concepts, unconsciously trying to find out which is right, never | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| wrong. This distortion usually happens quite deliberately, although unconsciously. One seeks to find justification for the problem | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| much in another direction. In other words, you unconsciously seek the wrong remedy. For the lack of | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| how you tried to counteract the rejection by unconsciously withdrawing from life, shortchanging it, cheating it in | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| exists in you, you keep blaming God, perhaps unconsciously. You believe that somehow it was He who | 56 CAPACITY TO WISH -- HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY MOTIVES IN DESIRE |
| against your dependence on other's opinions of you. Unconsciously, you rebel just as frequently as you plead | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| You will have to understand fully that you unconsciously believe that your pride serves to gain something | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| become aware of the false concepts you harbor unconsciously. Each time such a false concept is observed | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| proves even more damaging in the long run. Unconsciously, the person argues: Since happiness is denied me | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |

| will no longer be a compulsive burden one unconsciously struggles against, sacrificing one's happiness, in the belief | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| to receive from the other parent. You now unconsciously consider his or her very act of giving | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
