The Life of the Spirit in Women: A Jungian Approach

3.6/5 ( ratings)

The present pamphlet was written out of concern for the need of women today to regain a true understanding of the nature of the feminine—a need which the author has found almost universal in her work with the many women who come to Apple Farm.

One of the loudest complaints of the liberators of women has been that the dominance of the male in society has prevented women from proving that they are as creative as men. This is a half-truth, whereby the real truth of the matter is obscured and lost. The first essential, surely, in thinking about the transforming power of the spirit is to remember that it creates nothing in a vacuum. There has to be fuel before the fire will burn; there has to be earth as well as seed, before new life is created. The masculinity of the spirit is meaningless unless it enters into a feminine container, and ultimately no man can create anything without the equal participation of the woman without or the woman within.
