No, that's correct. In western esoteric traditions there's a concept of The Sacred Marriage, where the masculine and feminine come together. The masculine is the material and physical while the feminine is the realm of spirit, and together they form soul. The Hebrew Star of David is a similar idea. The down pointed triangle is the spitirual reaching down and the upward triangle is the physical reaching up.

(an impression from earlier in the thread) So, I did a big post without actually stating the question:

What is so wrong with believing in the divinity of us (humans)?

According to Hindus, Buddhists and Gnostic Christians that's precisely it.
