This book expands the symbols of the phallus and vagina into cosmic
symbols, not by reference to myths but by his interpretations of
embryonic, physiological, psychological facts. It develops the view
that the whole of life is determined by a tendency to return to the
womb, equating the process of birth with the phylogenetic
transition of animal life from water to land, and linking coitus to
the idea of "thalassal regression": "the longing for the sea-life
from which man emerged to primeval times".
