Woman is more Holy than Man.

"The Sun is male, Earth is female. The Sun gives energy to the Earth so that life can be created out of her, just as Man gives his seed to Woman. Earth and Woman are the most sacred of beings, they are Holy, because they create life from the energy of the Sun / Man. Because Woman is more Holy than Man, she lives longer, she can withstand more pain, she has more endurance, and she has a unique 6th sense that cannot be explained. Woman goes through two changes in life - from a girl, she blossoms into womanhood, and after her childbearing years she transitions into an Elder. Man, just like the Sun, goes through no changes - from the time he reaches manhood, he just goes and goes until burnout. He is never naturally purified. Man is 1-dimensional compared to Woman."
