[...] This particular issue is being and has been faced squarely and seen through—a very difficult procedure indeed—but better now than later. Therefore, since the issues have been faced, there should be no such future repercussions.

[...] I discovered them running through my mind as I faced the easel, with no idea of what association might have triggered them. [...]

[...] I did, indeed, however stand in front of each one of you and looked into your faces and you did not see me. It is some experience to stand before another and see no comprehension in his face ... [...]

[...] a face that peers through second-story windows (in reference to SW’s being frightened by a face that appeared at her window recently) and meets with no response but a sigh of horror. [...]

In this existence however the personality of its own free will chose to understand in a different context, and work out problems faced so poorly in the earlier life. [...]

[...] No one save the individual entity knows in what directions weaknesses lie that need correction, and it sets about forming life dramas in which these can be faced.

Such a situation allows John’s present wife to telescope the experience needed into one life-situation, to delve deeply, and face at once problems that could otherwise take several existences.

[...] And they are guises to hide other things that you do not face. [...]

[...] The fear of reincarnation is again a shield for another fear that you have not faced that has nothing to do with reincarnation but has charged the word reincarnation to you. [...]

(To Daniel.) And for our friend over here, and not really for him but for our long-faced friend who is not present tonight (meaning Ron), Ruburt will go for any tests that are fun. [...]

The refusal of particular foods, therefore, became a symbol for the avoidance of certain beliefs, so that for a while the beliefs were not faced while the foods were not eaten. [...]

His rejection of the foods for this length of time persisted as a symbol that he was still not facing his beliefs. [...]

[...] In his books he is facing challenges he did not face earlier. [...]

It was during your illness that he began to watch your face for a hint of your mood and feelings—a tendency he has relinquished only lately. [...]

A concerted effort should be made, either to have him face the issue and solve it, or to avoid it completely. [...]

[...] So we are often indeed faced with a lack of communication between various portions of the self, or between various portions of the world. [...]

In between you have the nations’ concerns about world approval or disapproval, and endless versions of face-saving devices. [...]

[...] The intellect (long pause, eyes closed) disapproves of certain feelings and emotions because the intellect, allied with (pause) the social aspects of reality, thinks in terms of a public face, or respectability, of its position with other adults in the world. [...]

[...] Those are indeed worthy and stirring causes, as noble as any that faced any generation in the past. [...]

[...] Again, however, the individual must make his or her own choice, and without facing the additional burden of worrying whether or not the soul itself will be condemned for such an act.

In trying to show him his realistic condition in the face of such ideas you end up by making him believe also that they are unrealistic, stupid, and that he should not need challenges but only the simple joy of walking across the floor.

The times that Ruburt managed rather considerable improvements even in the face of strong negative beliefs, were times when he managed to convince himself against all objective evidence that there was nothing wrong with him physically but habitual stiffness. [...]

It would not be any solution if the beliefs were not faced, but with that understanding it can facilitate improvements. [...]

[...] The badminton was dropped because it succeeded so well—but also because Ruburt was not able then to face the dilemma between the accelerated motion in the game and the slow motion otherwise.

[...] This is particularly helpful when you are face to face with the person for whom you are working for, you must not allow your own emotions to frighten them. [...]

[...] One portion of it faces physical reality, ordinary working consciousness, and usually it is here that you focus. [...]

[...] I am telling you that each hallucination is a face that reality takes and that within them all the nature of reality resides. [...]

[...] The woman’s face especially had reminded me of Jane, though she had indeed been fatter. [...]

Jane was literally though unknowingly kicking her heels in the faces of the images you had created. [...]

[...] Truly, we had kicked up our heels in their faces. [...]

[...] I am very poor at visual imagery yet their faces came to mind often during our stay at York Beach, and for months later after our return.)

(During break I saw a certain look pass across Jane’s tired face. [...]

[...] She promptly made a most disapproving face. [...]

[...] We must remember that through Darwinism or Neo-Darwinism science tells us that life has no creative design, or any purpose, behind it; and that, moreover, this ineffable quality called “life” originated (more than 3.4 billion years ago) in a single fortuitous chance combination of certain atoms and molecules in a tidal pool, say, somewhere on the face of the planet….

[...] My view was from my right side as I lay face up on the cot. [...]

The four faces of Eve all represented various ego manifestations of one inner identity. [...] The Three Faces of Eve is an excellent title for the book, since the ego may quite legitimately be compared to the face that the identity turns toward objective reality, or the living mask that it dons.

[...] You were earlier speaking of reincarnation, and Ruburt has just finished reading The Three Faces of Eve.

(Generalized body changes since the last session Saturday night: More loosening in neck, ligaments, chin and face area; walking is easier but still requires support – legs tremble and have trouble supporting weight, but knees move better. [...]

Darwin was faced with the proposition of a kind god who was more cruel than any human being, and with supernatural power behind him to boot—so Darwin tried to justify God’s ways to man. [...]

[...] He tried to wipe God’s hands clean, as he understood the nature of God through his early beliefs—but in so doing he wiped the soul from the face of nature. [...]

Illness is a face-saving device, socially, often occurring where private beliefs and feelings find irritation with mass beliefs. [...]

You do not paint the faces of females as a rule, because of the ideas of which I have just told you. Whenever you show the so-called feminine qualities of insight or compassion, you show them as appearing in the male profile, where they are seen opaquely and not faced full on. [...]

The very experience however, with all of its triumphs and insights had to bring to the foreground personal problems of development that many people simply do not face, or come to grips with. [...]

[...] Now in your paintings, many of them, you merge the male and female characteristics—the feminine compassion and intuition often appearing as it does here in a male face.

[...] In your terms it is the build up of natural anger; in animals, say, it would lead to a face-to-face encounter, of battle stances in which each creature’s body language, motion, and ritual would serve to communicate a dangerous position. [...]

[...] The individuals were faced, however, with the horror of their violently released, pent-up hatreds and aggressions. [...]

[...] The earlier instructions on handling emotions, in Chapter Eleven, provide a framework in which hate can be faced and understood. [...]

[...] He had problems to face, then, that resulted in his symptoms—but (louder) they are nothing like the problems he would have had to face had he not found this greater framework for himself and others. [...]

At the time of your problems, you seemed to be facing a dead end, for very little in the world that you saw or experienced seemed either sane or rational. [...]

[...] One shorter with dark hair back from the forehead, and a round face from the front. [...]

(The shorter dark-haired man mentioned reminds John strongly of the new regional manager mentioned above; particularly since the man’s face looks round from the front, but not in profile. [...]

(Note: John’s experience at Rochester meeting recently—he saw his district supervisor’s face turn younger before his eyes as the man spoke at the meeting—about fifteen years’ difference, John said. [...]

[...] In the face of those fears, Ruburt did progress from someone who was afraid to read poetry to friends, to someone who ran an excellent class of nearly 50 people—all of the time denying that any fears existed. Not faced, the fears grew.
