What Is Beauty, Anyway?
There are countless women of the sixties and seventies who so deeply resented the patriarchy which had destroyed their femininity and that of their mothers that they lashed out against that patriarchy, but in doing so they identified with the masculine side of their own psyches.

… Maybe I was 18, 19, 20 sessions in, and I asked… I was with this consciousness, was having this deep experience and I turned and I asked, “Who am I with? Who are you?” …
I asked it again and this went on for hours. I kept dying and being born into a deeper aspect of my consciousness, but it wasn’t my small me it was my capital ME. And so I was basically being taken until eventually all boundaries fell away. And we were in that condition where there is only one reality. It’s a cosmic reality. It takes all physical existence taking place within that reality. And this is the condition of being home in that sense. There is no place to go beyond oneness. At least I thought at the time you’re in the home of oneness that core core truth.
