In this book the model for growth beyond
feminine and masculine is the Good Enough
Mother and the Good Enough Father. We re-parent
ourselves and each other by integrating feminine
attention and masculine intention. Parenting,
not marriage, is the foundation of the new
culture. Individual and cultural transformation
is necessary. Self and story go together.
Psychological development is dependent on
healthy stories and beliefs shared by the
culture. Stories embody our shared beliefs,
give meaning to our world, and tell us who
we are. They hold the culture together. We
can create new stories that synthesize existing
knowledge, have a more inclusive perspective,
and a view of all human beings evolving to
whole and healthy being and knowing.
The old stories are based on assumptions and beliefs. Our new stories will be too, but they can help differentiate our consciousness from all mental content and integrate masculine and feminine qualities. The story that I am telling in this book is about feminine being, masculine knowing, and creative bliss. The story starts like this:
The first act is the best act and it is a compassionate one. Without compassion there would be nothing. The overflowing abundant love is the creative act. The infinite mystery is sufficient onto Itself, yet it flows out because of a desire to share and celebrate. The effulgent nature of the Great Thought flows out and separates into infinite variety and possibility without anything being lost. Each part is important to the whole. The infinite mystery divides into Being and Knowing. The three aspects of consciousness with form are Being, Knowing, and Bliss….. (the story continues on page 212).

The global brain has arrived in the form
of the worldwide web; it needs a healthy
global mind to use it well or it will be
used as another tool of the PAC mindset.
To help facilitate the linking of groups,
I invite groups working on going beyond feminine
and masculine to come to the IPF Forum and post their meetings; here we can begin
to share our ideas and help each other discover
what is working and what isn't. We can link
up worldwide and learn from each other. We
can create a global community and a global
mind that is healthy, mature, and efficacious.
