but also, our imaginations can get us into trouble sometimes, hence the need for witnesses, etc. It is easy to find oneself on Tares, a psychoactive substance, or to reason like a "woman," emotionally, etc I guess. I have certainly done all these myself
I do not think enlightenment hits one gender more than the other.
Here is how the Gnostic Christians show the process. Think of enlightenment as a vision in your mind.
Gnostic Jesus was questioned as to what sees the vision?

The Saviour answered and said, 'He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but the mind which [is] between the two - that is [what] sees the vision...'
For where the mind is, there is the treasure.
Christianity does not quite agree, wording wise, with us.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The treasure is in you and all you know enters you through your mind and consciousness. The mind is more of where the treasure is than the heart.
