"The spoken word gives human beings such power! They need only
speak to obtain results comparable to those obtained by any other
material means: they can build or destroy, they can bring
together or divide, they can restore peace or start a war, they
can heal or bring about death. The power of the spoken word comes
from the fact that it is produced by the mouth, where both
principles - the masculine (the tongue) and the feminine (the two
lips) - work together to create a child (the spoken word).
According to tradition, when the primitive androgyne was split
in two, in symbolic terms it could be said that the woman kept
the lips, the feminine principle, and the man the tongue, the
masculine principle. This is why, in order to find their original
power, they now endlessly seek each other so that they can be
united. Yes, this is the distant origin of the impulse that
causes men and women to seek each other out. In spite of the fact
that this search often takes the form of pleasure and
distraction, its deeper meaning is to return to the oneness of
the Word, the oneness of the creative principle, which is male
and female."
