Anodea Judith takes us through three epochs of humanity, describing them as the “static feminine, dynamic masculine, and static masculine.” She describes both the positive and negative traits of each era. This dialogue moves through the history of human development into our present crisis and potential transformation. She says we are now entering the era of the “dynamic feminine” and that it is a time of the heart rather than power, “We’re actually coming toward the end of the static masculine and we’ve been in that for the last two thousand or twenty five hundred years.” She describes it as a time of being “raised by a single father with no knowledge of the mother.” Now, we are moving toward a period of homeostasis, but the process is fluctuating and it will take time. Judith warns us, “We need to be careful not to judge it as a system that doesn’t work just because it’s young… we have to move through the chaos and find a new organizing principle.”
