For the Goddess, theory itself is not sacred. It is our ongoing process of building the theory that becomes a sacred act.

"The way of the Goddess seems to be that of inclusion and adaptability, rather than exclusion and rigidity.  We have no need to set up theories that become so rigid we might be tempted to ignore additional ideas and information just to protect the theory.  The theory itself is not sacred.  It is our ongoing process of building the theory that becomes a sacred act.  And perhaps the very fact that we enter into this process together, with compassion, cooperation, nurturance, intuition, respect for intuition, sympathy, and empathy, capable of sensing process and flow, and with love for each other, each of us a part of the unity of the Goddess, will say more about the feminine principle than any specific theoretical expression."
