| and in consideration of the ever-evolving development of humankind, but that was all. The task was, as | 22 SALVATION |
| of so-called miracles took place on earth, showing humankind that a major phase in the history of | 22 SALVATION |

| is a part of the bigger body -- humankind. There are aspects within the individual that you | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| integration of the personality. This also applies to humankind as a whole. The same relationship exists between | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| his cells, or particles of being, as between humankind and the individual. They conform to identical laws | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| others. Similarly, at a certain point in history, humankind became more aware of the needs of others | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| entity, be it an individual human being or humankind as a whole. Each transition in growth, small | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| growth, small or big, is fraught with crisis. Humankind went through many crises -- the crises of | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| development, you will see that this is where humankind is today. This will prove helpful and widen | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| psyche of humanity. Many aspects in the entity humankind will be comparable to the conscious concepts an | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| young adolescent stage, it was often difficult for humankind to distinguish truth from falsehood, between what is | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| reason and the power to understand, so will humankind. Hence, humanity is now on the threshold of | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| individual forms a part of the larger body, humankind. True individuation occurs when you gain access to | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| still a greater effort than for an adult. Humankind, too, has to learn to direct the solution | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| and therefore cannot find true solutions. But since humankind is approaching maturity, it too will learn to | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| can exist only when the overall maturity of humankind has reached this avenue of resolving problems. Then | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| ponder the question of what will happen to humankind when it has truly matured in all its | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| many individual souls involved. For the totality of humankind to reach maturity, all individual parts of it | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| as to the question of the fate of humankind as a whole after it reaches full maturity | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| only two thousand years have gone by and humankind is now on the threshold of maturity. But | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| very immature and destructive elements. The fact that humankind is on the verge of entering maturity as | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| and cruel impulses. This is exactly the stage humankind went through at that period. With this thought | 120 THE INDIVIDUAL AND HUMANITY |
| earth, added together, create the general strife of humankind. When you realize, after having become aware of | 135 MOBILITY IN RELAXATION-SUFFERING THROUGH ATTACHMENT OF LIFE FORCE TO NEGATIVE SITUATIONS |
| the fall from grace. What does this mean? Humankind usually interprets the Fall in a literal way | 137 BALANCE OF INNER AND OUTER CONTROL |
| back in one way or another, just as humankind has done for millennia, by saying that pleasure | 157 INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE HINDERED BY EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY |
| were and will be the spiritual leaders of humankind. Every effort on this path is aimed at | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |
| truth. Ultimate reality is essentially flexible and movable. Humankind is not put into a universe that has | 162 THREE LEVELS OF REALITY FOR INNER GUIDANCE |

| and will, so that their personalities become lopsided. Humankind as a whole is arrested at exactly this | 165 EVOLUTIONARY PHASES IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REALMS OF FEELINGS, REASON, AND WILL |

| commitment to go in and not around yourself. Humankind is, with few exceptions, continually going around rather | 190 IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCING ALL FEELINGS, INCLUDING FEAR - DYNAMIC STATE OF LAZINESS |
| a similar fate. Religion has thrown it at humankind in such a mechanical, distorted, and often meaningless | 197 ENERGY AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN DISTORTION: EVIL |
| of self-knowledge, self-confrontation, and purification. The majority of humankind is totally unaware of what is behind apparent | 198 TRANSITION TO POSITIVE INTENTIONALITY |

| states of conscious ness, which must be earned. Humankind, as a whole, has now just about left | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| into the inner awareness of individual beings. But humankind has now reached a much higher potential of | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
