The idea of women playing any role outside the home was strongly

opposed in the community where I grew up.  That was a long time ago

and things have changed.  But I didn't wait for the change.  I had the

strong desire to work for the upliftment of humanity, and that's what I

set out to do

The courage to do this came from being very clear about my spiritual

identity.  In point of fact, I am neither male nor female.  I am a soul, the

child of God, currently inside a female form.  I was also very clear about

my aim, and concerned about how to be of more service to others.

The world has never looked to women for help in solving its problems.

Instead it has turned to those of great authority, to scholars and to the

very wealthy.  This has been the crucial mistake.

The mother's role is to awaken the children with great love and prepare

them for the rest of the day.  She is their support, She nurtures.

Generally it is attachment to the home and children which prevent

women from fulfilling their calling.  To go beyond that attachment is no

small accomplishment.  To go beyond the fear of what society will

say is no less.

My relationship with God gave me such internal power that I was not

intimidated by social convention.  The spirit was strong and so withstood

all external pressures and influences.
