| all this will help you build the proper concept in yourself -- and this will enable you | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |

| how your emotions still deviate from the right concept, then this process will gradually change your emotions | 47 THE WALL WITHIN |
| recently. This kind of emotional association with the concept of law is completely opposed to its true | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |

| people tell you first their general idea, their concept on the subject they apparently have difficulties with | 48 THE LIFE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE |

| Emotionally, you are somehow bound to a wrong concept, and it stands in your way. As long | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| of evil. The truth and meaning of any concept or idea can be distorted to the extreme | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| of distorted self- love. First find the proper concept and see how it works when twisted. Do | 53 SELF-LOVE |
| when twisted. Do not, however, allow the right concept to cover up your deviation out of a | 53 SELF-LOVE |

| hard for humanity to understand, my friends. The concept is too broad for you to really comprehend | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| the existence of sexuality is suppressed by the concept of its sinfulness, the less can it mature | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you were in this respect, and therefore the concept developed within that sex was sinful. Your unconscious | 54 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| cannot be applied here. It is a philosophical concept. It is a principle or a part of | 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES |

| simply know that you have harbored a wrong concept, and that your emotional survival does not depend | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| you harbor unconsciously. Each time such a false concept is observed and therefore becomes more and more | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| will come where you realize that your wrong concept is useless and harmful. When it comes, discard | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| understood, once intelligence is at work, a wrong concept can be corrected. But when one is consciously | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| it if you admit to yourself that your concept is wrong. QUESTION: May I ask how this | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| each would be due to one particular wrong concept. But when the God-image and the mass image | 57 THE MASS IMAGE OF SELF-IMPORTANCE |
| happiness exists in every living being. However, the concept of happiness varies according to the development of | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| development of each individual. Due to a distorted concept of happiness, another desire comes into existence in | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| chain reactions set in motion by a wrong concept of happiness. The desire for happiness is already | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| concepts are distortions and misunderstandings of the right concept. Happiness in the wrong concept is expressed in | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| of the right concept. Happiness in the wrong concept is expressed in the following way: Only if | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| eternity, not only because it lacks a time concept, but also because the infant does not know | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| you will find that the primitive and distorted concept of happiness actually amounts to a desire for | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| can start to outgrow the unrealistic and unrealizable concept of happiness and build the proper, mature, realistic | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| and build the proper, mature, realistic, and realizable concept. This will be infinitely more gratifying. Until you | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| effect of the chain reaction this fundamental distorted concept sets off. The more the child grows and | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| need in order to be happy. The wrong concept of happiness inevitably causes a wrong concept of | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| wrong concept of happiness inevitably causes a wrong concept of love as well. Let me recapitulate briefly | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| as well. Let me recapitulate briefly the wrong concept of happiness: I can only be happy if | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| happy if things go my way. The mature concept of happiness in its highest unfoldment is: I | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| the sun shines brightly again. With the mature concept of happiness, and therefore of life itself, the | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| in a moment. First let us consider the concept of love. The wrong concept of love, inherent | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| us consider the concept of love. The wrong concept of love, inherent in the wrong concept of | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| wrong concept of love, inherent in the wrong concept of happiness, is as follows: If I am | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| had the courage to acknowledge them. The right concept of love, on the highest level, is always | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| and-take, a two-way-street. But contrary to the childish concept, love in its right concept does not demand | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| to the childish concept, love in its right concept does not demand a subject who blindly gratifies | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| instances you sincerely felt according to the right concept -- or thought you felt that way. Yet | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| are incapable of feeling according to the right concept of love and happiness. All of you, without | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| impossible to find happiness according to the wrong concept, the only one he knows. Instead of finding | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| finding the right way by changing the wrong concept into the right one, the personality only too | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| tide, trying to force life into the wrong concept. When this proves impossible, another way out is | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| to see, face, and give up the infantile concept of happiness, rulership, and perfection. The idealized self | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| falsity of it all and give up the concept and the desire. By bringing the infant in | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| that these emotions exist, regardless of your conscious concept. This aspect of the God-image ties in quite | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| right, is to take it as a philosophical concept? ANSWER: Yes. Beware of trying to strive for | 58 THE DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS AND THE DESIRE FOR UNHAPPINESS |
| ways in which increased self-awareness can come. The concept of approaching contact with the Spirit World outwardly | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| hopeless with no chance for happiness, because your concept of happiness in one part of your unconscious | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| as such certainly the same. QUESTION: Could this concept be applied to our tonal system, within and | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| An outer influence may temporarily fortify a wrong concept, just as other influences in life constantly seem | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| be quite difficult for you to understand the concept of grace after hearing from me constantly that | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| love is weakening and dangerous. Such an unconscious concept will affect marriage more adversely than any other | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| union? Just what does it entail? ANSWER: The concept of union can be discussed on two levels | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| afflict your inner will for happiness. Your unconscious concept is that if you enjoy something, your pleasure | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| some others. In short, this is the unconscious concept: since desires aim for happiness and wanting happiness | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| genuine. Out of the superimposition stems the unconscious concept that it would actually be very pleasant to | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| for happiness is selfish according to this erroneous concept. There is unhappiness either way. You may fluctuate | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| brings dissatisfaction. Let us now examine why this concept is wrong. I am addressing that part of | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| fuller vision as a goal. But the true concept cannot become part of you as long as | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| be corrected only by means of the true concept. If and when you are entirely aware of | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| you finally reach the point where your inner concept will change and the conviction of truth will | 64 OUTER WILL AND INNER WILL -- MISCONCEPTION ABOUT SELFISHNESS |
| can you replace the misconception with the right concept. But find out where you feel that way | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I show you, will you discover that this concept, often unconscious, is a wrong one. God's way | 65 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| any understanding of grace, but then the true concept will dawn on you. In other words, this | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |
| I discussed recently. It leads to the wrong concept of God. If you reread that lecture, you | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
