“It is the cost of disobeying the laws of the natural flow of energy that is at the heart and soul of the Oedipus Story. Those who make the journey contribute to the flowering of culture. Any who misunderstand or cheat, refusing or failing to pay the cost of inner growth, pay instead in the coin of loneliness, anxiety, alienation. It is chiefly the feminine that pays this inauthentic price.”(p.25)
