| she is escaping. Personal love and fulfillment is man's and woman's destiny in most cases, for so | 44 THE FORCES OF LOVE, EROS, AND SEX |
| knowledge could indeed be very harmful. If a man's lower nature remains dominant, he might say, I | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| science and intellect are the outcome of the man's world, with a corresponding neglect of soul qualities | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| acknowledgement of these traits would cost her the man's love. This went on for so long and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| movement as all truly spiritual qualities must be. Man's active currents should bring his passivity to the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| images which claim that it is beneath a man's dignity to enter into intellectual discussions with a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| woman. This will be a very useful recognition. Man's cycle changes according to the individual. It might | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| turn to tonight's subject. I wish to discuss man's relationship to God in the cycle of development | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |

| place in life. Needless to say that in man's relationship to God, his prayer -- meaning his | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| Moreover, I have this to add: it is man's complete illusion to believe that pain and suffering | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| Please, try to understand what I am saying. Man's inordinate fear of suffering is utterly unrealistic, and | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| yourself, that determines how you experience suffering. If man's attitude toward suffering were not as distorted as | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| example of such confusion. An omnipotent Creator and man's self-responsibility are only mutually exclusive when viewed in | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| exist as ready-made laws. They exist because of man's inherent rhythm of growth that cannot be hurried | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| QUESTION: Could I ask you a question about man's development, as you talked about it last time | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
| But wherever social reforms were way ahead of man's inner growth, they may have a temporary effect | 105 HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT |
