QuestionHow can human society be in balance and harmony when there are so few women in positions of power and feminine values are so minimized in all areas? David WoolfsonAnswer
Fred Matser: I think that's a question to my heart. As I mentioned before, there is indeed a big imbalance in female representation in the world and the levels where decisions are taken. And as I mentioned before as well, we have to sit together as man and woman to see how we can rebalance, not only representation of man and woman, but also how we can within ourselves rebalance the feminine and male qualities. For male quality stands, in my way of seeing, the physical power and a power of the mental, and for the female qualities stand the power to feel, to be vulnerable and the power of the heart. And in so many men, we see an over-development of the physical power and over-development of the mental power, and by the way also in many women now. And we see, I mean, in many women, we see those mental powers highly developed. And what is not well developed, especially, in the males is the power to feel, the power to be vulnerable, the power to say I don't know, the power to say I made a mistake. There is nothing wrong in being vulnerable or making mistakes. And I would really love to see that we bring back into the arena these qualities, those functional female qualities in man and that we indeed in a woman respect these qualities because there is no life possible without the existence of both qualities. Let's not forget, at birth of our life, the power of vulnerability is present and there is no life possible without this quality of being vulnerable with the quality to feel. We only have to think about music, about other expressions of ours, how they can move us and how important they play a role in our experience.
