| This truth is perhaps most relevant to the discovery of how you call forth all happenings in | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| About this, no generalization can be made. The discovery of the selfish motive will show you that | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| on a deeper level than before such a discovery was made. If this happens, it will help | 112 HUMANITYS RELATIONSHIP TO TIME |

| now, not as mere theory, but from personal discovery. The parent one feels uncertain of, in awe | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |

| stands in your way. You may experience the discovery as a one-time nucleus, as it were, like | 124 THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS |
| in your outlook toward life. After such a discovery, you can never be the same. For the | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| no-current will act against the very endeavor of discovery and change. Hence, a strongly negative attitude will | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| what our path here is all about: the discovery that fear is unnecessary. When you hear the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| clear enough to humanity, in spite of the discovery of many spiritual and psychological truths. This is | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| a major threshold on their path in the discovery and awareness of where they themselves desire the | 140 CONFLICT OF POSITIVE VERSUS NEGATIVE ORIENTED PLEASURE AS THE ORIGIN OF PAIN |
| you must correct the situation. In reality, this discovery is never undesirable. It always proves to be | 141 RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL OF PERFECTION |

| substance as the conscious mind -- and the discovery of the unity of pleasure and personal goodness | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| relief compared to what you believe exists. The discovery of the manifold possibilities in Creation of what | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| emotions, and nothing else, create your fate. This discovery has a revolutionary impact on the individual. Not | 170 FEAR OF BLISS VERSUS LONGING FOR IT -- THE ENERGY CENTERS |
| feel so guilty, even about unreal issues. When discovery does not lead to lasting relief, change, and | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| had not seen it. The spirit of such discovery is then in accepting, not rejecting, self and | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| the coming-into-one's-own we speak so much about. The discovery of your true identity indeed brings glad tidings | 175 CONSCIOUSNESS: FASCINATION WITH CREATION |

| Many such junctures are necessary for making the discovery all over again that it is safe to | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| to give the scrutiny so essential for this discovery. Uncover your vague sense of futility which makes | 200 THE COSMIC FEELING |

| true to some extent. But you make this discovery as you are already devoted to giving of | 212 CLAIMING THE TOTAL CAPACITY FOR GREATNESS |
| through. You can give yourself this adventure of discovery. In the preliminary stages of this phase of | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| In the New Age, everything leads to a discovery of and a fusion with the inner levels | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |

| either case, your liberation and your selfhood, the discovery of inner truth that is both personal and | 246 TRADITION: ITS DIVINE AND DISTORTED ASPECTS |
| spiritual laws. The joy and security of the discovery by far outweighs the personal price that needs | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
