"But now it is possible to get rid of the old man.

"Aristotle's basic strategy was to divide things into contradictions: right and wrong, good and bad, life and death, man and woman. Within these past fifty years, all have proved to be only complementaries, not contradictions at all. Nobody has proved so wrong as Aristotle. I myself call him not Aristotle, but Aristotilitis, a very dangerous disease, undetected for two thousand years. It has crippled your thinking, your comprehension of the wholeness of life.

"And he himself did not have a scientific mind in any sense. He says in his books that women have less teeth than men. Obviously man is superior, and the woman is inferior in every way; how can she have the same number of teeth?

"But very strange. Aristotle had two wives; he could have counted their teeth before he wrote his book – this is simple, very simple scientific methodology – and he would have found the truth, that man or woman, it does not matter, they all have the same number of teeth.

"And you will be surprised: before Aristotle it was believed; Aristotle believed in it, and after Aristotle for almost fifteen hundred years it was believed. Doctors believed it. No dentist had the courage to say, 'This is all rubbish,' because to speak against Aristotle was not possible. He was the father of Western logic. You've got a very funny father for Western logic!

"Your mind is still dominated by Aristotle. For you, it seems, Albert Einstein has not happened yet. The greatest contribution of Albert Einstein is that in existence everything is relative, and the differences are only of degrees. There are no absolute contradictions.

"You are, perhaps, not even aware of Carl Gustav Jung's contribution, because he discovered – it will be better to say rediscovered, because in the East it has been known for five thousand years – that man is half man and half woman, and that woman is half woman and half man.

"It seems to be very simple. Because a child is born by the meeting of man and woman, both contribute to the child's life. Naturally, the child will have something of man and something of woman."
