Historically, the archetype of the Great Mother holds the man in one arm and the child in the other. This enduring image symbolises how woman and the feminine spirit, through their transformative force, set stagnant consciousness in motion and carry life and consciousness from the past into the life and consciousness of the future. This is the role women perform in the transformation of every society.

It is the accepting, holistic and perceptive power of the feminine archetype that keeps a society open to consciousness, creates new consciousness and moves civilisation within that society forward. For this reason, the freer and more conscious the women of a society are, the freer and more conscious the generation they raise will be.

The secret of keeping any society behind is to keep its women behind and place them in intellectual and social captivity. The secret of the transcendence and progress of any society is the progress and development of its women.

Conscious and free-thinking women possess clear and independent thought and give birth to children who will connect the advancement of consciousness in their land to a historical transformation.
