| in human thinking concerns the supposed difference between man and woman. For you it is like two | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the gap between the sexes seems impossible. For man, a woman's way of thinking and feeling is | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| as you think. Woman is a reverse of man, and man a reverse of woman, if I | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| think. Woman is a reverse of man, and man a reverse of woman, if I may put | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| woman, if I may put it that way. Man manifests an active current, whereas woman is more | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| active current, whereas woman is more passive. Where man is more passive, the woman is more active | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| could and should be developed equally in both man and woman. Even anatomically, the male is the | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| than passivity, as such, is wrong for a man. But if a healthy, active current is suppressed | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| been passive. This symbolism does not show that man should be entirely active and woman entirely passive | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| present in the woman and passivity in the man, then it was meant to be that way | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| I think of Adam as the symbol of man and of Eve as the symbol of woman | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the actual symbolism was not of a symbolic man and woman, but of the active and passive | 59 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| ones, be in peace, be in God! 62. MAN AND WOMAN Greetings, my dearest friends. Blessed is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| manifests in the existence of the two sexes: man and woman. The aim of development is to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| one particular aspect of development is union between man and woman. The mating of the sexes has | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| there seems to be a great difference between man and woman. However, in reality the difference is | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| half as great as you think. For each man carries inside his soul the female side of | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| mass images is about manliness and womanliness. A man is supposed to be strong and a woman | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to be strong and a woman weak. A man is supposed to be intellectual and creative; a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| be less intelligent and more emotional than a man. A man is not supposed to be intuitive | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| intelligent and more emotional than a man. A man is not supposed to be intuitive and sensitive | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| intuitive and sensitive, while a woman is. A man is supposed to be active, a woman passive | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the sex in question. For centuries and centuries man has developed and nursed his physical prowess and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| then, woman's efforts to assert her equality with man have often actually diminished her womanhood so that | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| creativity -- without rebellion. Something similar happened to man. He too received an inner message. He did | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| tries to harmonize and establish balance, also touched man. He was swept into it, but half-heartedly and | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| understanding what it was all about. For centuries, man has developed one-sidedly, emphasizing his intellect, his resourcefulness | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| is an essential prerequisite for true inner strength, man has weakened himself at the core. By denying | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| unmanly and feminine, he became less of a man instead of more of a man. You can | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| of a man instead of more of a man. You can observe this today in many ways | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| the explanation. So it is quite true that man and woman are moving in the right direction | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| serves to encourage her aggression and hostility; in man, his weakness and dependence. When healthy motives are | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| powers. It is true that softness in a man, based on his immature dependency, makes him weak | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| makes him weak and therefore less of a man. But the same thing happens if these reactions | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| harmony with the rest of the personality. If man develops those qualities in him which are generally | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| being feminine, he will become more of a man, provided this development takes place without encouraging sick | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| qualities she wants to further. The differences between man and woman are not as great as you | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| you understand the spiritual meaning of being a man or a woman, the more you have a | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to cover either weakness and dependency in the man or rebellion and aggression in the woman, the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| cannot truly meet. It is not true that man is active and that woman is passive by | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| again. Union on this earth sphere between a man and a woman strives for the same end | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| spiritual truth and reality, between people, or between man and woman. Love is the only key to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| one reason. It is certainly connected with that. Man shies away from emotions. He is afraid of | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| results. Misunderstandings are negative results, therefore they remind man of his wrong conclusion that emotions must be | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| picture, which is inevitable in disagreements or quarrels, man is afraid he may not be able to | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| often better versed in this respect than the man. Thus, man is afraid of losing. It appears | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| versed in this respect than the man. Thus, man is afraid of losing. It appears to him | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| hide her aggression, hostility, and resentment for the man behind the facade of a reasonable discussion, the | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| to affect the corresponding subconscious layer of the man. This makes him react most negatively to something | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| signs of weakness so as to make the man strong? ANSWER: No. Quite the contrary. When you | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| Only in this way can she also help man to unfold his real strength. If she were | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| unhealthy, superimposed, and equally ungenuine layer of the man in question. QUESTION: But if a man doesn't | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |

| by which they work will be discovered in man. In order to find them, psychological progress has | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| step with the spiritual and metaphysical progress. Each man will then be able to find his own | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| who gives birth. Woman gives birth physically, while man can give birth in soul, so to speak | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
| or abortive. QUESTION: What exactly is meant by man giving spiritual birth? ANSWER: Man in his real | 62 MAN AND WOMAN |
