In illustration, number 7, the Extraction or Impregnation of the Soul, a masculine soul element separates from the dying hermaphrodite, and rises upwards in the soul towards the realm of the Spirit, as indicated by the clouds above. Through this active penetration of the inner feminine by the masculine polarity of the soul, this aspect of the inner life has achieved a certain ability to ascend within the inner world to the realm of the Spirit. The hermaphrodite-body left below as the husk of the union of the male and female currents, and being abandoned by the masculine soul forces, is now in essence the vehicle for the naked female forces of the soul in an entirely unconscious passive form. This is the turning point of this sevenfold cycle of transformation.
