What caused my personal reaction is that it could be interpreted, by reading your post, that women have a spiritual connection, and have to help men to evolve from mere lust, and reach higher centers from the lower. And that it would be something that Ra said.
OK. Apparently my viewpoint is unpopular. If I reiterate it, I will catch all sorts of flack.
See, I don't see this as sexist at all, because we've all been both male and female. All are ONE. The man in my life is ME. I am humbled and honored to be of service to him. And he is humbled and honored to be of service to me.
There is no superiority to this. We each have our roles to play. One is not more spiritual than the other.
You are misunderstanding me if you think I'm saying women are more spiritual than men.
Let's not forget that one chakra is not better than another. They are all needed. Higher (not to mean better, rather position in a vertical line) chakras activated with the the lower chakras blocked can cause mental instability for instance.

The number One is the number of yang - masculine energy - moving forward. Its energy is expansive, assertive, and maybe even aggressive. It is the energy of forward motion, of spirit descending into matter, of linear time, of Maia. It is the energy of Illusion. It is Spirit Manifest.
They are equals. Neither is better or "more spiritual" than the other.
But each has its own distinct properties and characteristics. And, the energy of the Goddess (ZERO) must ultimately be balanced with the energy of the God (ONE). It must come full circle.
It is appropriate that the male energy descend into matter, and the female energy, having come full circle, go back to Source.
It is cyclical. All of us have been both male and female. Both have their roles to play.
I love this--thank you.
