    Your insight is appreciated as pertaining to the primary subject.

    The self requires metaphorical concepts to define it's existence in separation. We define due to this belief and the desire to maintain it with analogues of separation such as feminine and masculine. I do not deny my definition only acknowledge it's fragility as being connected with all other definitions

    It is fundamentally feminine because nature is fundamentally feminine making everything feminine. However, the power of the internet to communicate with everyone means nature's femininity is about to lift humanity by its bootstraps.

    This kinda defeats the purpose of categorizing feminine and masculine if after all everything is feminine. :D

    I think these categorization mostly bullshit and we are reading into something too intangible for our current perception and over labeling beyond our abilities.

    Its already widely recognized that males are both physically and mentally a combination of male and female. Without the female, the male cannot exist and to say that all males are fundamentally feminine is not a contradiction anymore than to say we are all composed of atoms.

    Female and male are but opposites in balance. Neither can exist without the other. At least not in situations where they are conceptual realities in creation.

    We are the ants climbing the empire state building and, thus far, civilization has made progress by pretending we can know the meaning of life, the universe, and everything by merely climbing higher. The discovery of quantum mechanics was the first seriously difficult to deny evidence that this is the case. Another way to think about it is that existence is fundamentally social and we have picked ourselves up by bootstraps and make rapid progress by taking a more anti-social stance. In Taoism the feminine does not refer to gender, so much as how receptive and social anything is, while the masculine is a reflection of how assertive and anti-social anything is and all of us are a combination of both. The more we master how nature actually works the more we must master how our existence itself is fundamentally feminine or social and must face the reality of our situation. Technology itself can be viewed as fundamentally feminine and social and the masculine assertive anti-social yang aspects of technology must inevitably transform into their complimentary-opposite of the receptive and social feminine.

    They are indivisible complimentary-opposites like up and down, back and front. However, from a mortal perspective we can still usually tell the difference between a man and a women and share the same views of what constitute up and down, back and front. Technology is about to become more feminine in radical ways that will blow everyone's mind and that almost anyone can recognize as feminine.

    Context of sexuality,

    The gender related concept is vitally important not only for technological discussions such as these, which are inherently masculine, but for personal and intimate relationships not only with lovers but with existence itself.

    The tantric meditations on sexuality provide profound insights into the dynamics and functioning of our essential nature. The masculine is generally the platform for which the feminine can dance. Dakini, the enlightened feminine, is roughly translated to "sky dancer", and the unfortunate reality for most males is that we can't actually reach the heights of ecstasy that is available to the feminine.. we are the launch stations for the Apollo program, and Mission Control to keep her orgasm functioning the way it deservedly should.

    Software is inherently feminine, dancing on the platform of the masculine hardware, and the internet is most definitely the subconscious made conscious. The trails we leave along the net is exactly the functioning of our subconscious, since most of us sit behind our machinery in a slackjawed trance, thinking very little about the levels of vulnerability present in reality. Illusions of security provided by our 4 walls and 7 predominant habits of living(don't count the latter)

    It's an interesting one. The fashionable model of child rearing now is one that exists in abstraction.. there is little no growing up in the dirt inside the safe home nest of a village or local habitat. We're now exposed to the vastness of the collective psyche. Borders have essentially dissolved, meaning there's a lot more room for conflict between opposing views of what culture actually is - and I speak from experience when i Say that most parents are not equipped with the knowledge to ease this transition. Being immediately dropped into the pacific(the big bad world) that youth was usually sheltered from, at the most neurologically malleable stages of development, was not something prior generations ever really experienced other than perhaps the shifts during the 60's.

    I feel technology is moving generations into a kind of techno-shamanism, isolated in worlds that aren't communally established by authentic organic interaction. Coupled with the rising popularity of psychedelic substances in youth culture and the retarded drug laws that are ideally meant to serve the population, it's potentially... very big.

    There's a whole fucking essay on this shit just waiting in the sidelines, but just to highlight some key points from my own enquiries.


    However... opensource this bitch, that's the feminine. All hail jungle mushroom orgies. Let's fuck.

    I will acknowledge that I have rarely understood a need to put context to sexuality. Perhaps partially due to my perceptions of being raised in a household where such context was most often denied or secretive. In rebelling against the ideological concepts of my parents I initially went toward direct opposition. I have since worked out that early opposition but the remainder of forgotten context is occasionally still to be accepted. Thank you for your insights

    Yeah that wasn't meant as a club to the head if it was interpreted as such, but it's my go to model of referencing reality.. first the dynamics of each polarity, and then observing the interplay between the two.

    No club here. I seek polarity and the force that creates the opposition as well. Insight is always welcome.

    FYI, generally these meditations result in intense vulnerability if it's any tantric work worth calling tantra. Meeting the natural rhythm of sexual intercourse requires complete surrender, and unfortunately westernised cultures are quite severely retarded in their sexuality(for no other reason than a lack of maturity propagated by pornography and centuries of repression, and a bizarre assumption that men know how to please a woman better than they do) meaning there's a lot of insecurity when the identity of Adulthood is confronted with unresolved childhood traumas, so there's a lot of deep inner child work as a result of wanting to have a decent shag.

    The woman leads in most cases of authenticity. You can possibly draw a parallel with what Terence was saying about "that not being the plan" about being able to access all the information from all over the globe. She's leading, we're following in her wake - moving with the ripples of existence. Scientific descriptors lack in the unmeasurable, so if I were to draw a poetic analogy I'd describe space as the fabric of time, being disturbed in much the same way as a jellyfish disturbs the water.

    i.e. another hypothesis of Terence' which was the timewave, a program based around the i-ching, discovered by the Taoists, which is of course the Water Way.
