| Balance and harmony do not always mean an equal measure of each current. Balance depends on the | 43 THREE BASIC PERSONALITY TYPES: REASON, WILL, EMOTION |
| extremes, both of which lack truth to an equal extent. Now let us examine the case in | 52 THE GOD-IMAGE |

| as it may be, it does not do equal damage. Here you have two distinct soul movements | 85 DISTORTIONS OF THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION |
| among other feelings. Since both instincts exist in equal strength in the human soul, and since the | 86 THE INSTINCTS OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND PROCREATION IN CONFLICT |

| manifest in the scheme of creation as an equal principle to the life force. It consists rather | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |
| phases of the work, and it is of equal importance in this phase. Talking out what you | 125 TRANSITION FROM THE NO-CURRENT TO THE YES-CURRENT |

| The man is then not threatened by an equal. He does not require an inferior mate to | 229 WOMAN AND MAN IN THE NEW AGE |

| as undifferentiated. All humanity would apply laws of equality, justice, and love to all, sharing the wealth | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
