Other-selves and projection

[Sacred Fool]

I've expressed that difference to my brother, how he tends to be more "masculine" in that way when it comes to music and I tend to be more "feminine" in that way. Not like either is bad or right or anything like that, it's just clear that we each have a different mode of operation when it comes to this kinda thing. some reconciliation of the two would be ultimately beneficial i think

Along the lines of what I was saying about you supporting him more so that he can hear himself more clearly, as an experiment, you might try thinking along the lines of "the masculine being that which reaches and the feminine being that which awaits the reaching."  If you can hold that which awaits seeking (the next level), then maybe he can find his way onward?
