"When you identify with your gross material body, you are identifying with the slowest beat that there is where you are. It isn't the only beat there, it's the slowest one.

The talk begins with Eugene reading a question from the audience - Are we ever tried more than we can bear?

Eugene discusses the differences between two kinds of awareness - the masculine and the feminine - and the historical to-and-fro between lunar, matriarchal cultures and the solar patriarchal cultures.
In the modern context "...all people being born today...are tending towards a hermaphroditic state. That is, they are tending to balance the male and female sides of their being...". A person with the outward appearance of a boy is n...

"I have been asked to talk about a very delicate subject, of a personal nature, and you know I dislike talking about personal things unless I can make a macrocosmic reference, so I shall universalise the problem. It is the problem raised, by falling in love for the first time."

'A' equals "The Absolute', meaning that which IS when all else is 'sol'd away'. 'A' is infinite.
'B' represents closure, the relative. 'B' is finite.
Whenever we talk about 'being' we are talking about closure; when we talk about 'non-being' we are talking about the Absolute. From 'A' to 'B' there is a fall. The 'Fall' is always from the Absolute to the Relative; from the infinite to th...

We are born, we live, we die. The sun rises, the sun sets. The seasons progress.
"If you try to hold an idea in your mind you will find that this idea will disappear very shortly. If you think it has gone forever you may become depressed. If you know cyclic law you can expect to see it again later."
"There is an old Chinese saying that says 'if it ...
