The psychological quest for wholeness ends in the union of opposites; in the inner marriage of "masculine" and "Feminine" aspects of the personality that is symbolized by the Eastern image of yin and yang contained within a circle. The journey toward wholeness results in having the ability to be both active and receptive, autonomous and intimate, to work and to love. These are parts of ourselves that we can come to know through life experiences, parts that are inherent in all of us. This is the human potential with which we start ("The Godesses in Every Woman", Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD).
