"Scientists and mystics thoughout history have realized that every human being is the carrier of complementary life energies. Given a variety of names, yin andyang, poertic and rational, left handed and right handed, emotional and intellectual feminine and masculine, these energies interact in everyone, regardless of sex. Androgyny involves recognizing the eternal flux ofthese opposing energies within us. On a journey that takes us through tao, Gnosticism, Kabblalah, Alchemy, Astrology, Tibetan Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, and the works of plato, greud, and Jung, June Singer shows how crucial has been the awareness of the androgynous soul to thos ehwo would inqwure into the mysreries of human nature . In modern science, too, from the molecular biology to astrophysics, we see the interplay of opposing energies.".
