| life. We have penetrated into the world of duality, which is below this superficial level of your | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| and the devil. The confusions originating from this duality are said to be Satan's trick to deceive | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| larger conflict always related to your world of duality. Behind your images and misconceptions you always find | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| find the basic opposites. But this level of duality on which you are torn between the opposites | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| it is the origin of the world of duality, just as the world of duality is where | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| world of duality, just as the world of duality is where your images originate. Strangely enough, this | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| such fulfillment. This prohibition creates the world of duality, and therefore your conflict. It is equally true | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| true, however, to say that the world of duality created the prohibition. It created life conditions on | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| in part, for the human being's creation of duality out of a single core. Life on earth | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| the fear of death creates the world of duality and the world of duality creates a reality | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| the world of duality and the world of duality creates a reality that says no to humanity's | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| to encounter the level of the world of duality. Once you comprehend it at its deepest core | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |

| alone can solve the problem of duality, since duality arises out of negation. The problem of duality | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| duality arises out of negation. The problem of duality has to be tackled eventually along the road | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| They are a direct result of the inner duality, which in turn comes from the inability to | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| again are themselves a result of the inner duality, necessitate a struggle for living. This encourages ambitiousness | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| up as a collective manifestation of the inner duality. As each person begins to face this problem | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| you become able to cope with the unnecessary duality in a much healthier way. Simultaneously you also | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| purpose. How is one to cope with this duality? You may remember a recent lecture I gave | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| I have described has been lived. Since the duality is a result of negation, one can only | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| one can only find the way out of duality by no longer negating, but facing up to | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| This will then show the unity behind the duality, so that pleasure and pain become one. But | 81 CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD OF DUALITY |
| God! Lecture No. 75 82. THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| the last lecture, Conflicts in the World of Duality. This day, very appropriately, commemorates a very important | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| your human history, which is closely linked to duality, the topic of my last lecture. On this | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| final analysis, are only subdivisions of the great duality: life and death -- never life or death | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| about by flight from the unpleasantness of the duality. Instead, the transcendence of pleasure and pain happens | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| happens only by accepting and fully facing the duality: life and death. Those who misunderstand the meaning | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| find that there is no death and no duality. You will accept this, not as a consoling | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| the wrong, unhealthy way, you increase the tragic duality. You reject death and, therefore, in the ultimate | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| deeply involved in the illusion of opposites and duality; nevertheless, they meet the illusion and grapple with | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| and slowly, bit by bit, melting away the duality. In doing so, reality, as you know it | 82 THE CONQUEST OF DUALITY SYMBOLIZED IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS |
| The two preceding lectures dealt with the great duality, the struggle between life and death, the illusion | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| of either/or. The more one is involved in duality, the more one sees life in terms of | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| unhappiness for death. While still struggling in this duality, it is impossible to accept life as necessarily | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| you do not fully understand your struggle with duality, about which I spoke in the two preceding | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| self means overcoming an important aspect of the duality between life and death. At present you are | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| real self does not have two souls, no duality? ANSWER: Of course not. The duality ceases to | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| souls, no duality? ANSWER: Of course not. The duality ceases to exist once you accept yourself as | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| this badness and believe you cannot tolerate it, duality exists. By accepting your lower self you can | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| can gradually overcome it as well as the duality between the higher and the lower self. By | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| the lower self. By nonacceptance you increase the duality. This is also the case with life and | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| with life and death. By accepting death, the duality between life and death is gradually decreased until | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| as you struggle against your lower self, the duality increases. QUESTION: Could you tell us what Goethe | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| it can also be interpreted to mean the duality between the idealized and the real self. The | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| we are all fragmented and split. Is this duality only a matter of degree? ANSWER: Yes, it | 83 THE IDEALIZED SELF-IMAGE |
| better than before. One is the lecture on duality. Accepting death and the unknown is the only | 88 RELIGION: TRUE AND FALSE |

| reality. Many manifestations of your earth life symbolize duality because so many things appear as pairs of | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| only way to understand fully the state of duality. Meditation on abstractions can never accomplish that. When | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| you already came into this lifetime with your duality, born out of illusion. When you perceive how | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| your parents express and personify for you your duality, your illusory way of life. When this is | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| life cycle, contains its personal unresolved conflicts. Its duality is due to illusion and misconceptions. At the | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| the psyche is still in a state of duality, of illusory conceptual conflict when the entity is | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| your basic split, your very own brand of duality -- for duality is not always the same | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| your very own brand of duality -- for duality is not always the same -- and, consequently | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| what they were, but ultimately because of your duality. Your brother or sister may have different reactions | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| your parents, but are the manifestation of your duality, which this particular set of parents could best | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| one person is negatively involved, then that individual's duality is acted out, and his or her parental | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| first powerful experiences in this life, reenacting their duality with their parents, and in their confusion constantly | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| help. Only when one has recognized one's own duality and stops transferring from one's parents onto others | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| to represent one side of the other person's duality, because he is aware of his own. Unnecessary | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| you cease reenacting the old drama of your duality, you will respond spontaneously to the situation, which | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| have broken the repetitive chain from the inner duality to the parents and so on to others | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| few years ago I gave a lecture on duality. Now you are ready for a deeper level | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| unity between pleasure and pain when overcoming the duality of life on earth. The former is a | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| former is a blind attempt to overcome the duality and, as such, not real and productive. On | 119 MOVEMENT, CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPERIENCE: PLEASURE, THE ESSENCE OF LIFE |
| human predicaments is the struggle to overcome the duality between life and death. From this basic predicament | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| to truly overcome fear and reconcile the great duality is to delve into the first unknown you | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| overcoming the fear which is a product of duality. When all resistance to unknown areas in oneself | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| of fear. In order to resolve this erroneous duality, particularly the conflict between giving up the self | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| the chain reaction. Illusion and misconception create a duality which appears as an arbitrary split of concepts | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| contradiction. But where illusion and false concepts create duality, an imbalance comes into being: control exists where | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |
| and thereby mastering them. Human conceptions create a duality here, an either/or. You feel that either you | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| unitive principle of being. Only through misconception does duality, or conflict, come about. The particular duality or | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| does duality, or conflict, come about. The particular duality or distortion of the unifying principle of mobility | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| of your personal work, are derivatives of this duality. Relaxation can exist only in non-movement, that is | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| is a result of conflict. Here transcending this duality and reaching the unitive principle of being becomes | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| distortion of mobility and relaxation is the primary duality, underlying all misconceptions, resulting in a situation where | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| the misunderstanding of this principle, so that a duality arises. When this misunderstanding has proceeded far enough | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| the beginning of this lecture, all dichotomy, all duality, can be reduced to the simple common denominator | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| in peace. Be in God. 143. UNITY AND DUALITY Greetings, my dearest friends. May this evening be | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| yourself further apart in conflicts, for illusion creates duality. This happens overwhelmingly among people who are ignorant | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| you are deeply involved in the world of duality, and therefore in illusion, conflict, and confusion. The | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| and inner and outer disadvantages. Thus, a second duality develops out of the first. The first is | 143 UNITY AND DUALITY |
| As long as human consciousness is geared to duality and cannot transcend it, the growth process is | 144 THE PROCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWING |
| since it is split off from it in duality. It can be open only to partial good | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| on it, you stay in a world of duality. As you know, this dualistic world is characterized | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| are an expression and direct outcome of this duality. Look at your problems, go deeply enough into | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| are compensations for the unbearable reality perceived in duality. When the real self is activated, this conflict | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| understand that this is a distortion arising from duality. The error consists in confusing fragmentary aspects of | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| have said so many times. In distortion and duality, activity appears as movement, passivity as nonmovement. Activity | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| In other words, we return to the basic duality of good versus bad. One facet seems good | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| of human existence is precisely the result of duality. Duality is a result of erroneous concepts. Error | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| human existence is precisely the result of duality. Duality is a result of erroneous concepts. Error means | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| consciousness is completely realized. Where there is no duality, there is no life versus death. To get | 146 POSITIVE CONCEPT OF LIFE-FEARLESSNESS TO LOVE-BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND PASSIVITY |
| off from their divine origin in an artificial duality that presupposes they are evil and regards them | 149 COSMIC PULL TOWARD UNION -- FRUSTRATION |
| of the same coin in the world of duality. To the extent you merely conform by taking | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| good as others? ANSWER: It is the same duality, two sides of the same coin. People who | 150 SELF-LIKING: THE CONDITION FOR UNIVERSAL STATE OF BLISS |
| body, you find yourself on a way of duality and error, of conflict and dissension. A nucleus | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| ego is adapted exclusively to the level of duality: this versus that, right versus wrong, black versus | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| based, as usual, on erroneous concepts. This particular duality is universal. In one way or another it | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| gratification on all levels, self-interest, self-assertion. In this duality, all these contradict goodness and unselfishness and must | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| be sacrificed. The opposite facet of this same duality is self-deprivation for the sake of decency, honesty | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| bliss. The harmfulness of the misconception of this duality is impossible to fully grasp unless one contemplates | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| system, ill health is a result of this duality. Intense physical pleasure is a legitimate need and | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| create destiny must also be forsaken in this duality. It, too, seems too pleasurable, too presumptuous, not | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| essence, must remain concealed as long as this duality exists. You chafe under those impossible alternatives as | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| and intrinsically is. This is a very deep duality. When you look closely within yourself you will | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| a greater extent than you may believe. This duality does not merely come from personal influences in | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| the universal consciousness is deeply imprinted with this duality, is imbued with its false divisions. When you | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| as one fears when one still lives in duality -- they are enriching. You may already accept | 159 LIFE MANIFESTATION REFLECTS DUALISTIC ILLUSION |
| that is directly related to the state of duality -- through believing in something very good versus | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| something very good versus something very bad. The duality makes a painful cramp inevitable. Anything you do | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| only an intense state. The good in the duality is illusion; it never fulfills. The reconciliation of | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| illusion; it never fulfills. The reconciliation of all duality is the fearless pleasure supreme that comes from | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| through the fear mends the split of the duality. It lessens the intensity of both pleasure and | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| you are deep within your self where no duality exists, where all is one, where your own | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| in the dualistic state. On the level of duality, pleasure is feared as annihilation while, at the | 160 CONCILIATION OF THE INNER SPLIT |
| is, once again, a demonstration of transcendence of duality. In the dualistic system it is either sickness | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| This brings me again to the topic of duality. I repeat: your tensions and confusions, as well | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| it can hardly be different with this particular duality. I must tell you, my friends, that the | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| unselfishness good, regardless of the how and why, duality and error are rampant. Therefore conflict between self-interest | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| on that level it is. But once the duality is transcended, such conflicts no longer exist. For | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| and the happiness of all concerned. When the duality splits selfishness into false divisions and false values | 164 FURTHER ASPECTS OF POLARITY -- SELFISHNESS |
| It arises out of the tragic misunderstanding of duality, the dichotomy that is rampant on this earth | 166 PERCEIVING, REACTING, EXPRESSING |
| no other. Fear is totally the result of duality. You see, if you want so strongly, you | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| not only a cramp, but contains also the duality -- yes versus no, good versus bad. Duality | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| duality -- yes versus no, good versus bad. Duality ends in conflict, comes out of conflict, and | 168 TWO BASIC WAYS OF LIFE: TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE CENTER |
| out of them. When both sides of the duality are reconciled, two apparently opposing forces work together | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| complement one another. I have discussed unity versus duality in many other contexts. It pertains to all | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| center and is therefore in ignorance and error, duality comes into existence. The entire earth sphere, namely | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| lack of fulfillment. Misconception-Split-Vicious Circle Every misconception creates duality and inner conflict, which in turn create a | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| both form an integral whole. This demonstrates how duality must lead into the unitive principle in the | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| a state where you lose nothing. When the duality of the false, childish greed and false, self-limiting | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| emotions of fear, anger and guilt. This fundamental duality creates the chain reaction of negative emotions, limited | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| to convey to humankind. Only in the mind's duality does letting go imply, I must relinquish what | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| imply, I must relinquish what I want. Beyond duality, this is not so. If you can learn | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| fearful, resigned, obedient, sacrificial deprivation, you remain in duality. The untightening movement can be only temporary. But | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| you learn to let go trustingly, you transcend duality. You come out of the struggle between fear | 172 THE LIFE ENERGY CENTERS |
| degree that you are fixated on this either/or duality, you are in error and tension. Since life | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| not understood the basic principle of unity versus duality. You can transcend duality only when neither of | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| principle of unity versus duality. You can transcend duality only when neither of two alternatives unduly intensifies | 173 BASIC ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES TO OPEN THE CENTERS - RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD FRUSTRATION |
| are in a state of utter disunity, of duality. Your assumption that there is no way out | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| painful chasm. You must always bridge an illusory duality to reach your natural and real state. Disunity | 178 THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF GROWTH DYNAMICS |
| always caught up in the fundamental error of duality. From this perspective any friction is seen in | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| to solve this problem within the system of duality. You conceive of two opposite forces: a constructive | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| to evil. The moment you become involved in duality you are unable to solve the problem. You | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| in the consciousness of those who have transcended duality. As is so often true, both of these | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| that would be repressed, creating further splitting and duality. Let us now try to find a way | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| become fixated on finalities, which create error, confusion, duality. You will see that by denying the evil | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| side. You cannot yet grasp the presence of duality in yourself, and therefore neither can you see | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| continual conflicts and strife. Only by accepting the duality can you truly transcend it. No expansion of | 184 THE MEANING OF EVIL AND ITS TRANSCENDENCE |
| is the movement that bridges the gap between duality and unity. Wherever there is separation, mutuality must | 185 MUTUALITY: A COSMIC PRINCIPLE AND LAW |
| of being, when you transcend the level of duality, do expansion and contraction both become blissful experiences | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| is to be learned on this level of duality. This is the task the soul has to | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| truly overcome or transcended the negative side of duality. And only then are you indeed capable of | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |
| it. This puts them deeper into the painful duality that is so hard to overcome until this | 187 (THE WAY TO HANDLE) ALTERNATION OF EXPANSIVE AND CONTRACTING STATES |

| you bring on crisis and more pain. The duality that characterizes human consciousness results primarily from fear | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| This I must not experience, you create a duality. Your fear creates both a Yes current and | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| the entire basis of the painful state of duality. Such duality can thrive only in a state | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| basis of the painful state of duality. Such duality can thrive only in a state of avoidance | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| pleasure. Thus you witness the process of unifying duality. From this point, we shall go more and | 191 INNER AND OUTER EXPERIENCE |
| state of consciousness of humanity is one of duality or of opposites. I have often discussed the | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| see, my friends, this is a world of duality. So much confusion exists because of the either/or | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| is as much an illusion as the either/or duality. It is not that either you are responsible | 202 PSYCHIC INTERACTION OF NEGATIVITY |
| on the most superficial ego level where the duality of either/or reigns supreme. In reality these are | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |

| about certain issues that become lost in the duality of human life. In tonight's lecture I should | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| many of you. You stumble over this particular duality again and again. The fear of death, the | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| to change and bring out the divine potential, duality will fuse into a unity in which you | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| and put into limited aspects. All of your duality is that -- a limited aspect. You have | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
