“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.” — Lama Tsultrim Allione
