“The true feminine is the receptacle of love. The true masculine is the spirit that goes into the eternal unknown in search of meaning.

The Self—the inner wholeness—is petrified. Without the true masculine spirit and the true feminine love within, no inner life exists…. To be free is to break the stone images and allow life and love to flow.”
