• Fall of man
- Bô Yin Râ - The Book On Man (Fourth part of the Hortus Conclusus), Chapter: The Mystery: ‘Man and Woman’
Thus it is that the two poles exchange roles: – a spiritual perversion by which the feminine pole takes on the active, and the masculine pole the passive attitude, making the ‘fall’ into the physical phenomenal world inevitable.

You were at home in the ‘world of causes’, – yet your fear drove you out into the ‘world of
effects’. – – –

Yet it is hard for earthly man to find even his true ‘living’ God, – for he has got used to imagining just ‘man’ in his God, whereas his ‘living’ God is: – ‘man and woman’. –
