| but also to realize that self-will, pride, and fear exist in you and to find out to | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| you might ask: How do self-will, pride, and fear connect? Why is one unthinkable without the other | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |

| is unconscious -- you must constantly remain in fear that the desires of your self-will will not | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| be gratified. Thus, coupled with self-will you find fear. For deep down in your heart, you do | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| that these wishes are unfulfillable. This knowledge creates fear, since the self-will is still demanding its gratification | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
| have such wishes; you will see how the fear comes automatically from the desires of the self-will | 30 SELF-WILL, PRIDE AND FEAR |
