| do anything about it? Take for instance a woman who has so much masculinity in her that | 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES |

| general lecture I shall deal with man and woman -- and you will surely find this question | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| thinking concerns the supposed difference between man and woman. For you it is like two different worlds | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| is not half as great as you think. Woman is a reverse of man, and man a | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| reverse of man, and man a reverse of woman, if I may put it that way. Man | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| that way. Man manifests an active current, whereas woman is more passive. Where man is more passive | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| more passive. Where man is more passive, the woman is more active. In both cases, it is | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| should be developed equally in both man and woman. Even anatomically, the male is the counterpart of | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| Activity, as such, is not wrong for a woman -- no more than passivity, as such, is | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| show that man should be entirely active and woman entirely passive. This is a gross misunderstanding, and | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| before the Fall activity was present in the woman and passivity in the man, then it was | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| man and of Eve as the symbol of woman. But I thought that the actual symbolism was | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| symbolism was not of a symbolic man and woman, but of the active and passive elements as | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not due to activity, but to other trends. Woman has always emphasized her intuitive forces and neglected | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the activities of a scientist, for instance, while woman is more spiritually inclined. This has been built | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| was again shown that intellectual curiosity exists in woman too. Only when this is suppressed, and thereby | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| And then there is something else. Just because woman is more intuitively inclined, she is more open | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| in peace, be in God! 62. MAN AND WOMAN Greetings, my dearest friends. Blessed is this evening | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the existence of the two sexes: man and woman. The aim of development is to find the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| aspect of development is union between man and woman. The mating of the sexes has therefore a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to be a great difference between man and woman. However, in reality the difference is not half | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the female side of his nature as each woman carries the male side of hers. It is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| man is supposed to be strong and a woman weak. A man is supposed to be intellectual | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| is supposed to be intellectual and creative; a woman is supposed to be less intelligent and more | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| supposed to be intuitive and sensitive, while a woman is. A man is supposed to be active | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| A man is supposed to be active, a woman passive. These concepts and many more variations of | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| unfoldment of his emotional and intuitive nature. With woman, it was the reverse. The effect was, and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| peace and some justice on this earth plane. Woman was long forced to suppress her intelligence and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| issue is completely understood. However, the inner message woman received at this time in history was to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| not entirely successful. The so-called emancipation often made woman actually less of a woman, instead of making | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| emancipation often made woman actually less of a woman, instead of making her more so by unfolding | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| did not follow it through as vigorously as woman, for he had less reason to do so | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| So it is quite true that man and woman are moving in the right direction, the direction | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| screen to hide and foster erroneous motives. In woman it often serves to encourage her aggression and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| aggressive and hostile strength and activity in a woman will diminish her womanhood. But so does the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| place without encouraging sick weakness and dependency. If woman develops those qualities in her which are generally | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| being masculine, she will become more of a woman, provided she does not use aggression, hostility, and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| wants to further. The differences between man and woman are not as great as you think, not | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| spiritual meaning of being a man or a woman, the more you have a chance to understand | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the man or rebellion and aggression in the woman, the two partners cannot truly meet. It is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| not true that man is active and that woman is passive by nature, but both manifest different | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| this earth sphere between a man and a woman strives for the same end and attempts to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| and reality, between people, or between man and woman. Love is the only key to eliminate this | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| dignity to enter into intellectual discussions with a woman who is supposed to be his inferior. He | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| may not be able to cope with the woman and thereby fears he will jeopardize his masculinity | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| senses in himself. On the other hand, the woman may suppress and hide her aggression, hostility, and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| at least in the conscious mind of the woman. QUESTION: But since this kind of discussion is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| instances. QUESTION: Am I to understand that a woman should show signs of weakness so as to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| But if a man doesn't communicate with a woman out of cowardice, what would be the corresponding | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the corresponding feature to look for in the woman? ANSWER: You cannot generalize that. It might be | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| could perhaps correspond to an overactivity in the woman, a mischaneled activity that was not allowed to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| kind of cowardice on another level in the woman in question. It could be any of a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| In fact, both sexes have both hormones. A woman could not live without male hormones and a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| impression existed for a long time that only woman goes through certain cycles in life: the cycles | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| rather than by set biological rules as in woman. This will be a very useful recognition. Man's | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| By the same token, it is not only woman who gives birth. Woman gives birth physically, while | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| it is not only woman who gives birth. Woman gives birth physically, while man can give birth | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to the same principles as physical birth. Since woman is also creative, she too can give spiritual | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| nature which is capable of giving birth. In woman, the female side is mostly turned outward on | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| refer to the love relationship between man and woman -- but this apparent imperfection is your reality | 72 THE FEAR OF LOVING |
| without being really deeply in love with a woman -- first, is this wrong? Second: is it | 102 THE SEVEN CARDINAL SINS |
| divine -- if man accepts his manhood and woman her womanhood. But inner disturbances always make people | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| and make the man more masculine and the woman more feminine. The tendencies of the opposite sex | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| the man more of a man and the woman more of a woman. A great deal can | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| a man and the woman more of a woman. A great deal can be said on this | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| naturally and spontaneously. A similar struggle exists with woman. When the girl-child feels rejected, she feels passive | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| order to falsely create the caricature of a woman. These are good examples which can be used | 116 REACHING THE SPIRITUAL CENTER-STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOWER SELF AND SUPERIMPOSED CONSCIENCE |
| thinking, humankind itself is paired -- man and woman, night and day, life and death. These are | 118 DUALITY THROUGH ILLUSION -- TRANSFERENCE |
| God. 122. SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN Greetings, my dearest friends. God bless all of | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| one's proper role as a man or a woman. Such fears are quite naturally barriers that prevent | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| women. The same applies, of course, to a woman. Age-old misconceptions handed down from one generation to | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| opposite sex. This not only separates man from woman, but it splits the great cosmic force within | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| impedes self-fulfillment. The same fear applies to a woman, but from a different angle. A woman fears | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| a woman, but from a different angle. A woman fears the apparent helplessness of giving herself up | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| all that his spirit yearns for. When a woman refuses the apparent helplessness of self-surrender by exerting | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| let go of himself without danger. When a woman does not out of fear, pride, and self-will | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| on fulfilling yourself as a man or a woman. Both manhood and womanhood can only be fulfilled | 122 SELF-FULFILLMENT THROUGH SELF-REALIZATION AS MAN OR WOMAN |
| fulfilling yourself as a man or as a woman, respectively. Ultimately, you cannot fulfill yourself without overcoming | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| sex, thus truly becoming a man or a woman. Of course, there are also other aspects of | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| a man truly becomes a man, and a woman truly becomes a woman. The self-realization that takes | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| a man, and a woman truly becomes a woman. The self-realization that takes place while the barrier | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| Pride enters because, whether you are man or woman, you fear the apparent helplessness -- and therefore | 123 LIBERATION AND PEACE BY OVERCOMING FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN |
| in that which is created by man and woman is a direct expression of those inner qualities | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| Regarding unrequited love between a man and a woman, I sometimes feel that it is enough if | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| bring -- love between a man and a woman. But there is another part where you fear | 147 THE NATURE OF LIFE AND HUMAN NATURE |
| seemed to have frustrated you -- primarily the woman. Mother is represented, of course, in all women | 156 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the activating principle, or that the healthy, integrated woman represents exclusively the principle of letting be. Men | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| you cannot be fully a man or a woman unless you first come to terms with your | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| principle is perverted. By the same token, a woman who surrenders her autonomy to a mate because | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| bring anything favorable to either partner. When a woman wants to be a parasite and burden her | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| with brute force and superiority. In reality, a woman cannot truly be a woman unless she is | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| In reality, a woman cannot truly be a woman unless she is self-determining. In the terms of | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| self-determining. In the terms of this lecture, a woman has to be secure in her selfhood by | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| activate the masculine one, just as the full woman must activate the masculine principle in order to | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| to the feminine. This interaction between man and woman expresses the two sides of the creative power | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| destructiveness and therefore cannot control it, so is woman justified in fearing self-surrender as long as she | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| forth. He has an attitude that puts the woman down to aggrandize himself and makes her fear | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| reasonable. He therefore hinders her fulfillment as a woman. The surrender of the loving woman heightens the | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| as a woman. The surrender of the loving woman heightens the mastery of self-activation in her mate | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| eliminated, unless the personality, be it man or woman, uses the activating power. It is necessary to | 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS |
| wanting to help. Another example might be a woman who is too self-effacing and unable to change | 171 SPIRITUAL LAWS |
| basic concept a number of years ago. A woman who had been on and off in mental | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| quite brilliant, as such people often are. This woman asked the Guide several questions pertaining to her | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| power over which you have no control. The woman jumped up excitedly, completely conscious of what she | 179 CHAIN REACTIONS IN THE DYNAMICS OF CREATIVE LIFE SUBSTANCE |
| of relationship is the one between man and woman. The power that brings two people together in | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| humanity: in love and sexuality between man and woman. The power that draws them together is the | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| spiritual state. However, when a man and a woman stay together in a more enduring and committed | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| in a relationship between a man and a woman that can be likened to a very finely | 180 THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP |
| they were true. For example, you believe no woman is trustworthy because you felt your mother rejected | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| wish to open your heart to love any woman. Regardless of your outer, conscious belief, inwardly you | 201 DEMAGNETIZING NEGATIVE FORCE FIELDS -- PAIN OF GUILT |
| giver, and in that capacity the truly feminine woman expresses her masculine principle. For the adult, closeness | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| vision. Satisfying fusion between a man and a woman is possible only to the degree that both | 207 THE SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SEXUALITY |
| love to all of you. Be blessed! 229. WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE Greetings, my | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| have promised to give a lecture tonight about woman in the New Age. I do so with | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| women. What does this really mean? How have woman and man evolved and where are they going | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| ultimate realization of womanhood -- and of manhood? Woman is coming into her own in this phase | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| also very strong, of course. Man innately distrusted woman, and woman, man. Each seemed justified in his | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| strong, of course. Man innately distrusted woman, and woman, man. Each seemed justified in his or her | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| attitudes have remained embedded in the consciousness of woman and man, though to a lesser degree. Today | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| well -- persisted in considering man superior and woman inferior. In order to justify this assumption, woman | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| woman inferior. In order to justify this assumption, woman was supposed to be intellectually and morally the | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| in human consciousness. It is not something that woman is free of either. When you look very | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| consciousness, you will find similar attitudes. Why has woman been subjugated and denied her birthright of self-expression | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| has ceased to be an individual's main value? Woman could not simply be a victim of man's | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| and to possess her as an object. The woman also plays a role here. You, my friends | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| However, in the old relationships between man and woman, the woman victimized herself by acting out a | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| the old relationships between man and woman, the woman victimized herself by acting out a denial of | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| sooner or later turn out this way. But woman still abstains from taking her share of responsibility | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| dualistic approaches, a half-truth. The truth is that woman indeed possesses the same faculties of intelligence, resourcefulness | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| and who therefore needs to feel superior to woman. By the same token, woman, in order to | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| feel superior to woman. By the same token, woman, in order to make the new women's movement | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| also be, within the soul of that individual woman, the desire not to govern her own life | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| one form or another and then resent the woman for exploiting him and overburdening him. The immature | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| the price of taking care of a parasite. Woman wants the advantage of being taken care of | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| from the responsibility of adulthood and envies the woman her socially sanctioned position. He compensates for this | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| for this by overemphasizing the power game. The woman hides the part in her where she, too | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| the confusion: how can man be equal to woman without being weak? How can woman have her | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| equal to woman without being weak? How can woman have her emotional fulfillment and still be an | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| In duality, man will feel superior and believe woman to be inferior. He will consequently exploit her | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| In such a relationship fulfillment is impossible. The woman will feel that she is being unfairly exploited | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| exactly the same way in man as in woman, since the differences make a complementary whole. But | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| other. Let me paint a picture of the woman in the New Age and then see how | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| to the relationship between the sexes. The new woman is completely self-responsible and therefore free. She stands | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |

| woman's career will make her less of a woman, less feelingful, less loving, less equipped to be | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| honest approach to life. Where distortion still exists, woman still wants from the man what she refuses | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |

| and that, too, closes the heart. The new woman is neither a slave to the man, nor | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
| her capacity to love. That is the new woman. The man in the New Age will no | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |

| represents the receptive principle as much as the woman. In their coming together in sexual union this | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |
