Mental elements

Union of the masculine and feminine qualities consti- tutes completeness. The masculine mind reaches a higher tone through certain elements of the feminine, while the feminine mind gains cour- age and strength through masculine qualities. These different elements conjoin naturally with each other, and their true harmony is in spiritual oneness. Both sexes should be loving, pure, tender, and strong. The attrac- tion between native qualities will be perpetual only as it is pure and true, bringing sweet seasons of renewal like the returning spring.
