We don’t really know who woman is. She remains in that precise place within man where darkness begins. Talking about women means talking about the darkest part of ourselves, the undeveloped part, the true mystery within. In the beginning, I believe man was complete and androgynous-both male and female, or neither, like angels. Then came the division, and Eve was taken from him. So the problem for man is to reunite himself with the other half of his being, to find the woman who is right for him-right be she is simply a projection, a mirror of himself. A man can’t become whole or free until he has set woman free-his woman. It’s his responsibility, not hers. He can’t be complete, truly alive until he makes her his sexual companion, and not a slave of libidinous acts or a saint with a halo.
