"The male and female energies are already within us, there is something called, the kundalini, also known, as the divine feminine. It resides at the base of our spines, and when it is awakened, it opens us up to both, yin (female) and yang (male) energies. So that we consciously can choose which we want to express. This is how we find balance. Many of us are unaware of these energies and don't believe there is any way to change how we feel, but that is not the case. We are capable of so much more. Neither sex has a spiritual advantage, however, women are more inclined to be more spiritual.... However, men, when they become spiritual it's a much bigger deal, because it really changes his perspective of reality, to the point where he feels he must tell the world, so a guru is born. So we hear much more about male spiritual teachers, because their transformation from ego to love, is that much more profound, where as women already have a sense of ego-lessness, and love as yin is their primary energy." ~Mark Harrison
