I.e. both internally will need to experience steps of the same grieving/anger/powerlessness/acceptance processes, (I dunno, 5 stages of grief for a simplistic gesture towards what I mean psychologically?),

but men can express louder/publicly the struggle/violence aspects of release, and women can express publicly the surrender (say) aspects of release. But surrender and struggle/violence both need to happen internally in both genders.

Thanks, this helps a lot. I don't sense surrender as distinctly as the conflict but can recognize now that it's still a part of the process.

Cool, cool. Hmm...it would be cool to do a noting experiment for what kinds of attitudes seem necessary for processing... (i.e. "willing to fight for myself" "willingness to fight others" "willingness to surrender to the unknown" "willingness to accept something bad" "faith" etc)

What among these drive you forward when processing?

I guess all of them, depending on the moment in the process. I try to be fluidly open to what is called for from me? I.e. k where do I feel stuckness. K what's that about. Oh, fuck, ok, next step is "prepare to approach willingness to feel bad feelings possibly for a long time"

Hmm, I think it's the same for me. Intuitively running into a wall on what trends we could see here among others and if it could indicate something.

Me too. I think we'd end up somewhere interesting in the overlap of like a "technical" or maybe "mechanistic" framework (x has to happen for y to happen for processing to happen) and something about values (use faith, bravery, self-trust, self-distrust, etc as required).

Jumping in here.
@authorlessauth1 I'm answering from an intuitive understanding of architypical masculine/feminine the energies of which all have.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
Much of my experience of meditation is going in strong with investigative, oft forceful energy which for me brought up strong resistance and emotion which I'd usually oppose.

Everything changed when I learned that phenomenona could investigate themselves by holding an intention of receptivity while dialing back the forceful energy. Everyone who is not stuck emotionally does this, they let the emotion unfold according to it's own energy.

Femine receptive, holding Masculine investigative, penetrating There another set of terms that are related, idk what culture but I learned them in a dzogchen + mahamudra retreat context. Ma - mother (f) Bu - child (m) I'm mapping them to m/f but that's my own afaik.
