| a topic I have not gone into before, identification with oneself, as opposed to identification with others | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| into before, identification with oneself, as opposed to identification with others. Last time I talked about humanity's | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| extreme symptoms that indicate your lack of self- identification. For instance, in a fleeting moment you may | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| bound to show you the vital difference between identification with self and with others; between experiencing yourself | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| obey another authority. You have merely shifted your identification. Rather than immediately trying to correct what you | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| And now we will approach the topic of identification more directly. To a degree, your present-day psychology | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| refusal to cut ties with protective authority lies identification with such authority. Children need a good example | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| the good example serves only to perpetuate the identification, and thereby prevent self-identification, the original purpose has | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| themselves. It is important to understand that such identification may not be at all obvious on the | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| suspicion that one might be, is an embedded identification with perhaps a vague sense that this parent | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| though very often unconscious, may be a negative identification. The tie to the undesirable parent may be | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| understand this, my friends. For the child, positive identification is desirable. For an adult, a positive identification | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| identification is desirable. For an adult, a positive identification is often as undesirable as a negative one | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| your parents, who were the original objects of identification. Often such substitution not only occurs among individuals | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| waiting to be tapped. The extreme form of identification with others because of a weak ego is | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| the same. Self-alienation comes from the failure of identification with the self. In other words, self-alienation is | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| other words, self-alienation is an effect, while self- identification is a cause. Whenever you find an emotional | 113 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SELF |
| psyche, when you sense the subtle interaction between identification, rebellion, and various other reactions to them, you | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |

| this total commitment to life? Of relinquishing ego- identification? Of the positive manifestations that can enrich you | 145 RESPONDING TO THE CALL OF LIFE |
| consequences. The first one is the question of identification. When you identify yourself exclusively with the ego | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| of life is justified when one's sense of identification is exclusively attached to the ego. For the | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| is perpetually trapped and anxious. Thus, an ego identification brings fear of life automatically in its wake | 158 THE EGO'S COOPERATION WITH OR OBSTRUCTION OF THE REAL SELF |
| because the real self that could determine your identification differently has not yet found its power. Your | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| of acknowledgement, a subtle but distinct shift in identification occurs. Before such acknowledgement, you were blind to | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| you are to having the first inklings of identification with your real self, do you become aware | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |

| their consequences are. Then the work of specific identification needs to be done. Misconceptions can also be | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| to deal with this bottleneck, the question of identification has to be focused on. What part of | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| part of yourself do you identify with? Such identification is not something the conscious ego chooses. Once | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| to bring it about. If there is no identification with the spiritual self, such trust and the | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| found the way to identify with the spirit. Identification can exist in a most positive and constructive | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| way. The difference is not determined by your identification with one or the other of the various | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| if one would be good, the other bad. Identification with any aspect of yourself can be either | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| dishonest devices, and your negative intentionality, then your identification with the higher self becomes an escape and | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| it is a half-truth when this kind of identification overlooks the part of you which needs your | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| scrutiny and candid attention. By the same token, identification with your lower self can be desirable or | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| spiritual self identified with. The ego makes the identification, but gives itself up voluntarily so that it | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| am I going to extricate myself from my identification with my lower self? When you experience yourself | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
| most in yourself is due to a false identification. At this point many of you are puzzled | 195 IDENTIFICATION WITH THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE INTENTIONALITY |
