| a wrong way of applying and interpreting the longing of the spiritual self. Now let us discuss | 189 SELF-IDENTIFICATION DETERMINED THROUGH STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| thinking. You do not see that the human longing is an expression of your sensing these possibilities | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| these possibilities, but the direction chosen by the longing is in most cases exactly the opposite from | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| only as you get deeper into yourself. The longing is always there. Something in your deepest, innermost | 192 REAL AND FALSE NEEDS |
| of consciousness intact. Many entities have an intense longing to realize their inherent divine nature, and they | 193 RÉSUMÉ OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE PATHWORK: ITS AIM AND PROCESS |

| path entails. Every human being senses an inner longing that goes deeper than the longings for emotional | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| desire. Perhaps the most accurate translation of this longing would be a feeling or sensing that another | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| experience life must exist. As you translate this longing into conscious terms, you may become involved in | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| can grasp. One confusion might be: Am I longing for something unreal? Would it be perhaps more | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| realistic and more mature to give up this longing and accept that life is just this flat | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| and life? Therefore I should really abandon this longing. The way out of your confusion can only | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| for you. Thus it is true that your longing for this utopian kind of happier state is | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| abandoned. But does this truly mean that the longing per se stems from immature, greedy, or neurotic | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| real and what is false about your deepest longing? The desire is false when your personality wishes | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| responsible for the state that creates your unfulfilled longing. The longing is realistic when you start from | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| the state that creates your unfulfilled longing. The longing is realistic when you start from the premise | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| fulfilled and meaningful way; when you interpret the longing as a message from the core of your | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| real self. However, when the inner message of longing is misinterpreted by the negative, greedy, ungiving and | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| ungiving and demanding personality, confusion sets in. The longing is then put into channels of unrealizable fantasies | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| inner fighting and resisting. Do not abandon the longing per se. Take it seriously. In fact, cultivate | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| fulfilled and joyful state. Do not abandon the longing that comes from the sense that your life | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| norm. Right now, the saddest part of your longing is that deep inside you know how your | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| human personality function in a blissful state. Your longing to experience more pleasure is a message for | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| you realize your full life, and fulfill your longing in every conceivable way. This is a realistic | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| of giving up your little vanity. Therefore your longing can never be fulfilled, for no matter what | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| darkness. Spiritual practices alone can not fulfill your longing, no matter how much you sit in meditation | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |
| involuntary force creates an electrifying blissful feeling and longing. If this attraction exists merely on the physical | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |

| this vital new phase in your evolution. Your longing for eternal life must be totally conscious. This | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| means so, as a general rule. Usually the longing is suppressed and repressed. It then becomes transformed | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| then becomes transformed into subsidiary longings, such as longing for health, for happiness, for abundance, for avoiding | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| unconsciously, and finally consciously, longs for. When this longing is unfulfilled, the separation between the created being | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| the light of knowing -- and there the longing is fulfilled. The other part is still in | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| in fear, doubt, suffering; for that part the longing is unfulfilled. When you are not even conscious | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| this separated, fearful, doubting part remains unconscious, the longing for eternal life is also unconscious. As the | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| doubts and terrors manifest indirectly, so does the longing for eternal life. It may manifest in various | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| longings -- longings for false, unreal fulfillments. The longing may also manifest in compulsive drives. Whatever it | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| is important to make conscious the underlying, real longing for eternal life. All this will make it | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| dark corner of fear, doubt, terror, and the longing. To the degree the fears, doubts and terrors | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| the fears, doubts and terrors are unconscious, the longing is unconscious. To the degree they are conscious | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| unconscious. To the degree they are conscious, the longing is conscious. To the degree they are conscious | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| it is exactly this process through which the longing is fulfilled. As it required courage, integrity, openness | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| it is impossible to be conscious of your longing for it. Nor can you visualize it -- | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| level of doubt and fear and of the longing. And further, how should you work on directly | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| directly establishing the state in which this basic longing is fulfilled, and from which all other fulfillments | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| mean nothing without the inner state of fulfilled longing. That state is most difficult to describe in | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| existential fear is conscious, you can sense the longing for another state in which there is nothing | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| fact, their interconnectedness and interdependence. When the great longing is being fulfilled, connections are discovered that give | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| your spiritual task cannot in itself fulfill the longing we are discussing here. All outer fulfillment can | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| a direct byproduct of the great, deep, universal longing for the state of consciousness in which there | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| and explanations there is the repressed great existential longing as well as the fear of non-existence and | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| that result directly from the unfulfillment of the longing. So it is essential that you now uncover | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| these are the result of the great existential longing and the fear that it can never be | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| can the discovery of the fear and the longing be a real experience, rather than a theoretical | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| understanding. Once you experience the fear and the longing, do not push it away and assuage it | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| experience the pain of the fear and the longing. Do not wait for the deeply hidden fear | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| not wait for the deeply hidden fear and longing to manifest in outer experience that forces you | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| experience of the pain of this fear and longing. When you fully savor the experience, you dissolve | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| of you started out being aware of this longing, of the pain and fear of not being | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| focus, you can experience the fear and the longing. These feelings may perhaps at first be vague | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| benign meaning. Do not push this fear and longing away any longer, neither by false reassurances, without | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| false reassurances, without first knowing the fear and longing, nor by the false cynicism of accepting a | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| world, nor by simply displacing the fear and longing into more superficial, even though in themselves quite | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| it, feel the feelings of pain, fear and longing most specifically. Pray in the simplest and most | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| doubt, as you meet the fear and the longing for not being in doubt and fear. But | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| a state of doubt, fear, pain and unfulfilled longing, if there would not also exist, on some | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |
| total certainty, joy and utter fulfillment of all longing? We are now dealing with the most central | 243 THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL FEAR AND LONGING |

| is not. You may deny your deeper unfulfilled longing because some of the hitherto unfulfilled longing has | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |
| unfulfilled longing because some of the hitherto unfulfilled longing has been assuaged. But you have so much | 251 THE EVOLUTION AND SPIRITUAL MEANING OF MARRIAGE -- NEW AGE MARRIAGE |

| pain and strain, it is the soul's greatest longing to find the deeper level of truth. The | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| to find the deeper level of truth. The longing, as I often said, exists regardless of whether | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| further away from the fulfillment of your soul's longing -- namely the real inner knowing of the | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| and anxieties. Denied fear creates more fear. Denied longing and desire create anxiety, not peace. Only the | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |
| in a most positive sense, to find your longing, to find that in your longing exists a | 253 CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AND CEASE ALL STRUGGLE |

| suspect. Yet you make the fulfillment of this longing impossible by blocking your soul's natural inclination toward | 254 SURRENDER |
| to the basics of living, dying, suffering and longing, eliminates much illusion, fear and enmity. It contributes | 257 ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIVINE INFLUX: COMMUNICATION, GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, EXPOSURE |
