| and incompatible with the universal power. This very intensity may cause, as a final effect, an outer | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| These extremes are always the result of an intensity of soul-movement which must be dissolved. The dualistic | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| to life leads to a typical misunderstanding of intensity. The idea exists that the more intense you | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| when energy is expended. The unnatural tautness and intensity of a person's state of mind and emotions | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| it has been accepted as natural. In fact, intensity is viewed as the desirable state, connoting all | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| result of -- and results in -- artificial intensity, which is, half- consciously, deliberately cultivated and nursed | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| finely attuned perception will produce verification of this intensity, which will then be felt as something foreign | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| can only exist when there is no artificial intensity in the system. The indentation of soul substance | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| to look and become aware of your own intensity. If you follow through, you will dissolve the | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| follow through, you will dissolve the cramp such intensity causes on all levels. The misconception that intensity | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| intensity causes on all levels. The misconception that intensity is favorable also applies to pleasure. It is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| is, the greater the pleasure. In other words, intensity is not only supposed to connote seriousness and | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| force and, hence, the more heightened the pleasure. Intensity is an ego-attitude and prohibits the letting go | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| latter is dead, the former is vibrantly alive. Intensity and overindentation of soul substance are also confused | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
| you must become observant of yourself until the intensity of your emotions, thoughts, and also your physical | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| natural attention, concentration, and fullness of experience. This intensity does not feel pleasant at all. It is | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |

| reluctance to relax and know that tension and intensity are the immediate blocks to self-realization. Your reluctance | 151 INTENSITY: AN OBSTACLE TO SELF-REALIZATION |
