humans are able to participate directly in and experience [divine] energies

So, participation and experiencing is not the same as mixing?

The energies of God are not His divine nature, let alone his essence.

Theosis does not and cannot involve us mingling our nature with God's nature, let alone our essence with His. It is precisely the misapprehension of Protestants about this point that makes our language of deification off-putting to them (and rightly so -- if it were true.)
