Night owl, I'm not offended or anything like it. I only wanted to point out that your association of ''courting the female energy'' and ''proving the male energy'' with the idea of "energiz[ing] the ego" is not an absolute association. For you, these concepts may be associated due to the definitions with which you inform each of them. For others, the association is not at all necessary.
How we understand these terms and their relationships is a distortion of some kind. For you it is an unhelpful distortion, but for me and perhaps others, it is a helpful one. That's why I asked you to "mind the absolute language." Although you may be aware that your statements are relative to your own perspective, your actual words did not convey that relativity. Unless you qualify your words as relative to your own understanding, then your claim needs support from the text. An absolute claim, in the context of this sub-forum, is tantamount to saying that Ra would agree with you. I make absolute claims myself, but I only do so when I think Ra would agree.
Again, I'm not upset in any way. I am only working toward for clarity for you, me, and anyone else who reads this sub-forum.
