is that incarnations change from male incarnation to female and vice versa. Can you clarify this point 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
me? ANSWER: Fundamentally, each being is male or female, and in most incarnations the entities follow their 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
the active and receptive, that is, male and female, aspects. You all know that ultimately unification must 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
often even much later, when the male and female elements have become one. The Fall is the 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
the unified being, in which the male and female parts are integrated, in the shape of a 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
twin entities in which both the male and female poles are contained. God has created them both 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
right for the male principle to take on female functions, and vice versa. Think back again to 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
incarnations you lived as a male or a female, you would know in what manner your splitting 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
being represents fundamentally either the male or the female principle and either the one or the other 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
QUESTION: When a person is incarnated as a female, but feels herself more masculine, is it a 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
question whether incarnations occur alternating as male and female as against the supposition that there are only 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
dependent on whether the body is male or female. The basic principle of the masculine persists even 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
active or male aspect and the passive or female aspect. I explained that in the active aspect 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
active, thinking, planning -- the Creator. In the female aspect God is in a state of being 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
teachers and philosophers have experienced God in the female and passive manifestation. That is a partial answer 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
understandable that a philosophy experiencing God in the female aspect would be less likely to receive enlightenment 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
would be blind to the experience of the female side of God and enlightenment in the Eastern 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
QUESTION: Is that perhaps the reason why the female aspect of God is recognized more there and 14 THE HIGHER SELF, THE LOWER SELF, AND THE MASK
the latter was in conjunction with the divine female aspect. When it is said that God created 20 GOD: THE CREATION
making decisions. In this flowing state, the divine female aspect is prevalent. It is the state of 20 GOD: THE CREATION
in their highest state of development. If their female aspect is prevalent, they merge with God in 20 GOD: THE CREATION

you see, the higher self is male and female, or contains masculine and feminine currents and traits 53 SELF-LOVE
or the soul must be both male and female to be complete. So for four or five 53 SELF-LOVE

entity is one being, consisting of male and female qualities. Only after the fall did the split 53 SELF-LOVE
male qualities and the other part all the female ones. Since the fall was the product of 53 SELF-LOVE
split is much more uneven, combining male and female qualities in both halves. In other instances the 53 SELF-LOVE
the split entity is more predominantly male or female, the other part will correspond to it and 53 SELF-LOVE
separated the male is exclusively male, and the female entirely female. As you know very well, in 55 THREE COSMIC PRINCIPLES: THE EXPANDING, THE RESTRICTING, AND THE STATIC PRINCIPLES

not make sense for the healthy and harmonious feminine to change over to the masculine, for both 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
feel what you are in essence, masculine or feminine. The development will bring you to perfection as 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
so that the perfect masculine being must become feminine or vice versa. To believe this is human 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
as God is perfect in His/Her masculine and feminine aspects, each one as such, without having to 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
divine perfection. QUESTION: Does the separation between the feminine and the masculine continue all through the incarnational 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
this -- that there are in all men feminine elements and in all women masculine elements. This 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
to. A man can be born under a feminine sign and yet be an entirely healthy man 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
own development to its maximum -- then the feminine tendencies that are in him will never be 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
QUESTION: I have met people who were entirely feminine in the best sense of the word and 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
with hermaphrodites, where you can also distinguish between feminine and masculine types. Scientific records, I believe, indicate 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
the supposition that there are only masculine and feminine beings and no changeover. The same is valid 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
seemingly contradictory positions. As far as masculine and feminine incarnations go, you can come to realize that 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
of meditation we find the masculine and the feminine principles. The one is intellectually active and involved 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
masculine; the other is emotional and flowing, therefore feminine. Both of them are important. In a particular 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
to be so. QUESTION: In connection with the feminine and masculine principles, is it true that even 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
it true that even historical epochs can be feminine or masculine? ANSWER: Yes, that is true. Such 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
for example, that the twentieth century brings the feminine element more into the foreground? ANSWER: Yes, it 10 MALE AND FEMALE INCARNATIONS: THEIR RHYTHMS AND CAUSES
is male and female, or contains masculine and feminine currents and traits. Of course, this enters into 53 SELF-LOVE

set in motion: this may be called the feminine principle in creation. As I have said before 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
As I have said before, the masculine and feminine principles exist in every endeavor and creative act 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
you understand and harmoniously use the masculine and feminine principles of creation and to what degree you 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
and that their minds can activate them. The feminine principle of receptivity, of letting the activating forces 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
person's authority, then the role of the creative feminine principle is perverted. By the same token, a 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
She must fear her self-determined enslavement. Thus the feminine principle or femininity is often wrongly associated with 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
fashion. In other words, he must observe the feminine principle in order to fully activate the masculine 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
in order to give herself over to the feminine. This interaction between man and woman expresses the 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
men and women express both the masculine and feminine principles, they must both cleanse their activating powers 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
The expression and handling of the masculine and feminine creative principles permeates your whole personality. Let us 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS

which he is overactive, over-masculine, precisely where the feminine principle should reign. This distortion is a compensation 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
he is too passive and expresses the distorted feminine principle. Both these examples are also applicable to 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
women. Because the manifestation of the masculine and feminine principles in the inner life of the individual 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
them at once to his activation, violates the feminine principle of the particular creation. Thus the creation 169 THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS
