She believes her mask of sweetness is her true self and that people take advantage of her. Every human being has these aspects, and in order to become whole, united with ourselves and with the Universe, we have to see the distortions in all these aspects and work with them. When we are afraid, for instance, we tighten our muscles. The original flowing feelings of a baby become blocked also in the body as the child tightens the flow of his feelings. The body shows these blocks very clearly, and John Pierrakos will give a lecture this afternoon on just this aspect of the pathwork, how we learn through the bioenergetic work to recognize and loosen up the knots, to let the feelings through and become connected with our body again.
Many people are disconnected - hate their body and live in the head.
In order to find out what our real feelings are at any moment, what other feelings those feelings cover up, we work in private sessions and in groups. We use our intellect to incorporate the emotional recognitions into our whole system, to correct our misconceptions, to reformulate our concepts in line with the experienced truth. Also, we learn truthful concepts by listening to the lectures of the Guide. Specifically, we commit ourselves to finding out this truth, we meditate in specific ways to establish contact with our inner core and with the creative and loving forces of the Universe. We learn that there are very specific spiritual laws which govern life and that these laws are just, and that when we violate them, we violate ourselves.
