| the surface, where you have been affected by intellectual influences, then certainly way down deep in your | 49 OBSTACLES ON THE PATH: OLD STUFF, WRONG GUILT, AND WHO, ME? |

| So the second step is to set your intellectual ideas straight. It is most important to understand | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| to understand that the proper formation of an intellectual concept should never be superimposed on the still-lingering | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| much you still deviate emotionally from the right intellectual concept. Do this quietly, without inner haste or | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |
| of inner attitude. But as far as your intellectual understanding is concerned, you must differentiate between two | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| it is not shown clearly that activity and intellectual curiosity were suppressed in Eve, but it is | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the advice in the right way. Lack of intellectual understanding and inability to weigh, judge and discriminate | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| woman weak. A man is supposed to be intellectual and creative; a woman is supposed to be | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| is beneath a man's dignity to enter into intellectual discussions with a woman who is supposed to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| while you retain the outer situation in your intellectual memory. The latter has much less effect on | 66 SHAME OF THE HIGHER SELF |
| and growth. I cannot emphasize enough that the intellectual knowledge of all this means nothing. You have | 69 THE FOLLY OF WATCHING FOR RESULTS WHILE ON THE PATH; THE VALID DESIRE TO BE LOVED |
| will have lost their impact. For all your intellectual knowledge, in this respect your emotions still react | 71 REALITY AND ILLUSION CONCENTRATION EXERCISES |
| particular road toward dissolving this basic conflict. Mere intellectual evaluation will not yield any benefit. When you | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| giving up the recreation must go beyond mere intellectual knowledge. You have to allow yourself to feel | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| capability to love. It seems to me that intellectual maturity must mean something else. How do the | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| you need in order to walk through life. Intellectual maturity is your capacity to think, to judge | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |

| many subjects, all separate. The separateness, fostered by intellectual concepts, is bound to divert the soul forces | 74 CONFUSIONS AND HAZY MOTIVATIONS |

| your feelings is out of proportion with your intellectual view of its importance. Emotionally, it seems that | 77 SELF-CONFIDENCE: ITS TRUE ORIGIN AND WHAT PROHIBITS IT |

| tempt you to seek the solution by an intellectual process, rather than allowing your emotions to reach | 92 REPRESSED NEEDS - RELINQUISHING BLIND NEEDS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY REACTIONS |
