The most important aspect of the androgynous psyche is the soul-image. In every man and woman there is an inner being whose primary function in the psyche is to serve as the psychopomp—the one who guides the ego to the inner world, who serves as mediator between the unconscious and the ego.
Adam in midrashic tales was androgynous or more accurately a chimera of both man and woman. Convention separates and in the IFS sense, we collectively blend with the apparent external separation of man and woman. In reality humans as a species cannot exist without both simultaneously and in intimate connection.
