You will see a face with the strength and courage to be a hero. But you will also see one who can be as compassionate as a mother, as gentle as a tender woman, who can weep openly and be affectionate in public without shame. For you have in you the gifts of all your ancestors, and when you've balanced the opposites in yourself, you become whole. Look deeply into the mirror and you will see the new Adam.
— Edward Hays, The Gospel of Gabriel
