"In the new age which is now in process of being born, much of the machinery of our present social system will be scrapped. Much that has been taught in religious forms will be restated in the light of the new intellectual understanding. Christianity will be born again.

Sunlight, both real and artificial, will be used to bathe our bodies, and the light of understanding will profoundly alter our attitude towards sex and the reproduction of the species and of Love.

I am convinced, as the result of my work for psychologically troubled children, and their equally unhappy parents, that a definite conception of our psychological duality is essential to all constructive work. Sex equality is no myth, for we are each of us essentially whole. It does not matter how deep below a complete surface femininity we have to dig, there we find a complete male striving for expression. It does not matter how far down in the depth of the psyche we have to probe to find the woman in the painfully self-assertive male, there is the other half of the psyche in its entirety seeking for outlet and finding it by many strange paths."
