As you see, my definition of 'Animus' is of the masculine complex within a man, which really just is the Alpha complex with a different name - some have different degrees of activity from it.

Anima, again, I associate with the feminine.
Thank you so much for that clarification... now it is clear and I understand... (Sometimes I have problem with walking and chewing gum at the same time... )
