The Lord speaks with two voices - male and female. And both of these voices speak not with words, but with feelings.
The female voice is the voice of nature-life. When you feel that it is in what is happening that increases your vitality, joy and pleasure, what renews you is her voice.
The male voice is the voice of a choice between your values and what society dictates, this is the courage to choose to be alone, with just anyone, to do what you consider important, the desire to comprehend the unknown. When you feel the call of risky adventure, it’s his voice.
If you hear and follow only one of these voices, you fall into the trap of your own egocentrism, destroying the other half of the whole in yourself and losing the ability to create new things. Then, left without a sense of balance, without support, the personality splits into instincts pulling in different directions and ideas that are not connected with each other.
The Path of the Heart is a dynamic, connected, ever-living and changing balance between masculine and feminine.
The female voice (Anima, Yin) is responsible for the connection of your being with the whole world, for the feeling of the world and orientation in it, for integrity, preservation and growth. If you surrender only to her, you lose your own evolutionary path, the ability to create new things and become an egocentric slave of instincts.
The male voice (Animus, Yang) is responsible for the direction of your development, your personal evolution, new discoveries, destruction of the outdated, overcoming internal and external obstacles. If you surrender only to him, you lose connection with the world, nutrition, vitality, the ability to create and become an egocentric slave of a sense of self-importance.
The balance between masculine and feminine is achieved thanks to equal respect for both components of one's human nature and the ability to observe one's inner and outer dynamics of movement in one direction or the other, as well as the ability to get out of polarities, moving towards one's center.

Quite popular is the idea that you can once and for all gain centering and no longer move into any of the polarities. I think - yes, perhaps at the moment when vital needs will fade away by themselves with age, and their own ambitions will cease to be relevant, since a sufficient part of them becomes realized. Then comes the time of true wisdom and contemplation. In the event that life energy lived in you, you realized it, and did not try to jump over the period of your self-realization, artificially trying to make yourself a wise old man or old woman ahead of time.
And wisdom, balance, and contemplation come to the one who really plunged into life and lived it all, actively realizing all the forces that are inherent in him by nature, destroying internal and external obstacles to his realization and creating a new, creative, vital one.
