| self-hate. Once you can truly perceive that this dilemma is an illusion and exists only because of | 94 SIN AND NEUROSIS -- UNIFYING THE INNER SPLIT |
| dissension and painful confusion. In this case the dilemma is: How can you accept and like yourself | 174 SELF-ESTEEM |
| be cultivated in order to escape the painful dilemma in which both available alternatives -- isolation and | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| other attitudes and options exist in every possible dilemma and difficulty. Knowledge exists in you which you | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| all living organisms. Group consciousness can be extremely dim, as for example in animals or plants; or | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |
| So we must differentiate between those who rightfully dim their creative activity because they are justifiably afraid | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |

| QUESTION: You say that once one leaves this dimension of time one enters another time which involves | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| that? ANSWER: Yes, I will try. In your dimension, time and space are two separate factors. I | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| that combines time and space. In the next dimension, where there is a wider fragment of what | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| regardless of the distance, as measured in your dimension. Do you understand that? QUESTION: Yes. But it | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| it is made and adjusted to the limited dimension in which a separation between time and space | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| technical means have been invented to leave this dimension, an inkling of this factor becomes accessible to | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |
| living in the wave of time. In your dimension, time flows in a certain rhythm. This movement | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| you will be in harmony with your time dimension. Then you will experience yourself in reality. This | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
