If a woman hits a man is the man allowed to hit back?

[Minyatur]

   Notice that Ra says “the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane.” So, I think Ra is saying it’s OK to think whatever you wish.  But in the case where an action would violate someone else’s free will, it is not OK to carry out the action.
   It seems to me Ra is suggesting that self-control is a quality worthy of trying to develop.  Perhaps the “balance” comes in noticing I can have all kinds of thoughts, but I will “balance” my actions by selecting what leads to service-to-others.  Is that why Ra closes the quote “with compassion for self and for other-self?”

I think the quote meant that repression will create a backlash in time/space, hence why it is unwise to encourage overcoming.

Say that you contain anger, it is unwise to be unacceptant of it and never release the charge because it will cummulate and grow in intensity. Both acceptance and release are important.

Imagination is an healthier way to release your energy without denying it, but also requires to let it flow within yourself and not see yourself as without it (wanting to overcome this part of you). But this is an alternative to that it is unwise to suggest to overcome one's desires, in this thread I've seen only denial and a focus on overcoming, no suggestion that the energy needs to flow.
