Understanding of the self only arises in relationship, in watching yourself in relationship to people, ideas, and things; to trees, the earth, and the world around you and within you. Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action.

If you have separate organizations for men and women you will tend to set them apart from each other, which is what often happens at present and is absurd!
