“There is so much more we need to learn and understand. Therefore to be open to learning, understanding, and questioning our social constructed gender box is, in my view, the absolute first step.”

“Women have always been at par with men when it comes to their abilities; it is just that both men and women are gifted differently. Women are more intelligent, while men exhibit traits of being intellectuals. Hypothetically if there is a weighing scale to weigh the abilities of what men can achieve and women can achieve, I am confident that the scale will be balanced. I think creating such awareness will do much good rather than reclaiming equality which naturally exists”

“As we remember the importance of the enlightened feminine in this book, as in the story of Tara that I shared in the Introduction, we must bear in mind that ultimately in the absolute sense, gender is an illusion, just another one of those illusions that we attach to and fixate on so firmly. At the same time, as Tara also said, in the relative world, empowerment has been the domain of one gender. And therefore she vows: "Those who wish to attain Supreme enlightment in a man's body are many, but those who wish to serve the aims of beings in a woman’s body are few indeed; therefore may I, until this world is emptied out, work for the benefit of sentient beings in a woman's body." She makes a commitment not only for enlightenment, but to have all our voices heard: our human rights respected, violence and rape cease, serial harassment end, and women's issues represented at the table where decisions that affect us all are being made.”

“What can we do to restore and heal the balance? In order to find balance, we need to equalize human rights and the economic situation of women and men; and we must move away from religions that model male dominance into spiritual models of partnership and respect for our precious planet. It is by empowering the sacred feminine and by listening to the earth as she tries to communicate with us that we ultimately heal.”

“Like Tara, I firmly believe that at the absolute level, we are beyond gender and any notions of gender are limited and not our true nature. At a relative level, men and women are different, and that difference is precious. I am not in favor of women becoming more like men in order to be acceptable and successful. We don't need more men or more women to act like men. Although I certainly support women following the paths or professions they are drawn to, and certainly they should be treated equally. When I discuss the masculine and feminine in this book, it does not matter whether you identify as male, female, or non-binary, or what your sexual orientation may be. The masculine and feminine energies are alive within each of us, in our world. That said, there are rules and laws and cultural messages worldwide that specifically affect and disempower women. My wish is that we don't lose touch with the magic of primal feminine, the unique power we can bring to bear on the challenges of these times.”
