Spoken word - the child of the two principles, masculine and feminine, present in the mouth
Every human being physically possesses both the masculine principle and the feminine principle, and these two principles are present in their mouth. The tongue is the masculine principle and the lips are the feminine principle, and together they have a child: speech. That is why the only true power of human beings lies in the spoken word. Indeed, human beings can achieve as much by speech alone as by any other material means. We can build and destroy; we can gather and we can separate; we can restore peace or we can start a war; we can heal or we can make unwell. When the primitive androgyne was split in two, it could be said that, symbolically, woman kept the lips—the feminine principle, and man kept the tongue—the masculine principle. This is why now, in order to recover their original power, they seek to unite. Yes, from there stems this age-old impulse that makes men and women seek each other out. Even if this search often takes the form of pleasure or entertainment, its fundamental purpose is to seek the oneness of the Word, the unity of the creative principle, which is both male and female.
