A Sin is the male energy of my emotional expression.
A Virtue is the female expression of my emotional energy vibration.
Whereas virtues are universally recognised as good, sins can be seen as either good or bad.
Good or bad & right or wrong are positive & negative perspectives of my personal experience of reality. Perspective is a personal choice, which has a polarity of being positive or negative. In a relative dual reality world, I have a choice of emotional gender as well as a choice of mental polarity. The polarity of my mind determines the gender of my emotional mood or expression.
Sin is an expression of male energy, which can have either a positive or a negative polarity relative to my perspective. It can be seen as either a good expression or a bad reflection of who I really am.
Pride is seen as a positive attribute when I am outstandingly positive, good or right. I rarely see my own pride as wrong but when others see it as over confident or arrogant, my pride appears to lack humility.
Pride always lacks humility because standing proud is never modestly going with the herd or the flock. Pride is the male gender opposite of female humility. When I take pride in being better than others, I am really expressing greed & arrogance; so I humble my pride by being outstanding only when it pleases others.
Pleasing is the female energy that contrasts with male greed and male arrogance has a female counterpart of humbleness.
Wrath is my assertive male energy, which is seen as a positive attribute for leadership. Its counterpart is meekness, which is attributable to obedient followers.
Gluttony is the male energy of having more than enough of anything. It is seen as good when it allows extravagant giving to others in the form of philanthropy or charity. When I believe that having more than enough is plenty, then having plenty is gluttony and having enough is abundance. The opposite of gluttony is scarcity, which is not abundance. As gluttony is a male sin, the experience of scarcity has often been seen as the virtue of poverty or abstinence.
Anger is the state of extreme or intense impatience, which is seen as good when it gets things done or empowers one to overcome their depression. We believe anger to be good when it is reasonably managed and channelled into motivation that overcomes resistance. We call productive anger, will power. We use will power to counteract impatience unless we see patience as a virtue.
Patience is the gender opposite of anger, which never gets us what we want only the belief that it will if we are patient.
Lust is seen to be good when I have a lust for life. Lust is the male energy of desire, which in opposition to female passion can be seen as unromantic and even abusive. To lust after life is good but to lust after another person is seen to be bad, whilst lusting or sexually desiring children is a taboo and a crime.
Envy & jealousy have come to be seen as the opposing polarity of the same energy. Envy is good when it motivates us and jealousy is bad because it breaks up relationships.
Jealousy is the extreme grief of losing what I need emotionally to another person. We are jealous of a person who gets what we need instead of us. We hate someone whom we are jealous of instead of showing kindness to our own kith, kin & kind.
Envy is wanting what other people have, which can be seen as a positive driver for commercial growth in a capitalist society. The more that we want what other people have, the harder we are prepared to work to achieve it.
Sloth is seen as being lazy or idle, which is what everyone wants for themselves but sees as a bad quality in others. Hard working diligence, traditionally the role of the female sex, has always been seen as good for women and the working man but bad for ladies and gentlemen of good breeding. Sloth is the choice of the ruling classes for themselves but duty and due diligence Is their choice for the working classes. We can see sloth as idle & lazy or peaceful & restful.
We can see pride as good and hubris as bad; envy as good and jealousy as bad; gluttony and greed as bad and avarice as the good accumulation of wealth. We can see arrogance as confidence or arrogance as bigotry and we can see lust as passionate desire or wanton abuse.
Equally our virtues are not as virtuous as we have been led to believe. The virtues that our lustful, assertive, arrogant leaders have chosen for their followers keeps them diligently working in poverty to please their employers with humble humility.
Life always has a choice of direction because perspective & polarity allows a choice of direction. Sin is a choice of male energy in contrast to female energy, which can be perceived as either positive or negative, beneficial or detrimental and relative to personal perspective; irrespective of one’s masculine or feminine sex.
