If
the task at hand is to come to the truth, we must find a way out
of the prison of our current limited consciousness. We will need
to step beyond our current conceptions, beyond the boundary of
our minds, into new territory. This step will, by definition,
take us beyond all that has come before us. We must step beyond
our past and current metaphysical or spiritual (religious)
conceptions of truth. As I mentioned, we are not able to arrive
at the truth with what Jesus left us. We are now on our own.
Buddha or Mohammed or Brahma will not help us. The Logos or Tao
or I Ching cannot guide us. Our philosophies know not the way.
Our psychologies can probe no deeper. Our socio-political hopes
have run dry. Even our New Age "spirit guides" have forgotten
what to say. You see, everything that has come down the pike to
date only leaves us stuck in our current limited consciousness.

From the "beginning of time"
man has been asking himself, "Who am I?" We do not hear an
answer. The great first philosopher Socrates instructed us to
"know thyself." But who is thyself? There is something missing
here, isn't there? One of the reasons just may be because we
have not made the critical distinction of a two forces. There
isn't a "one" answer to the question "Who am I?" that is somehow
inclusive to all humanity, for you see, we are not the same. We,
in our relationships, comprise difference or opposition.

We are sexual beings residing
within a sexual universe. And thus lies our spirituality, our
mentality, and our physicality. The creative balance between
male and female is as spiritual, mental, and physical as things
can get. There isn't anything more real or immediate than that
one creative touch between man and woman. There is no greater
love than the love from a man to a woman and from a woman to a
man. All that is originates from this sexual love. (Page 146)
From the marriage of a man and
a woman, the universe begins. This is to say, the process of
procreation starts to take place. Procreation is the recreation
of life. What is occurring here is the enactment of family.
Family (male and female) is the basis of creation. It is through
family that the eternal play of creation
(birth-life-death-rebirth) is carried out. Without family (the
balance of male and female) life cannot be. In such, the
Community of Man and Woman is based on family. It is family.

The universe (life) depends on
our coming to the truth....But we can only come to the truth as
we embrace our sexual other. As I have stated, one half of the
truth resides in male and the other half of the truth resides in
female. Neither male nor female can come to the truth alone.
