This last weekend, I attended a 3-day seminar which was truly powerful and transformative. So much so that I’m still processing all the insights right now.
I’ve been interested in the concept of deep masculinity and deep femininity for quite some time.
The unity of opposites, yin and yang, are a big part of Taoist philosophy, and I always had a feeling that polarity was an essential part of male-female attraction.
In nature, this manifests as positive and negative charge being drawn to each other, north and south poles completing each other to form a magnet. It’s interesting that you can’t have a magnet that’s a ‘monopole’—gotta have both north and south.
And matter in the form that we see it is electrically neutral—five gazillion trillion electrons balanced by the exact same number of protons. Ions are electrically unbalanced, and that’s why they’re unstable and looking to react with something with the opposite charge to restore neutrality.
So polarity seems to be this deep property of nature. Neutral things don’t attract each other. Whether the polarity of masculine or feminine is a metaphor or some physical reality is hard to tell. But it manifests out there in the real world, and it’s worth observing and utilizing the concept.
This is about restoring that polarity to male-female interactions. Someone has to be the feminine pole, and the other the masculine.
Now I have a particular bias towards you gentlemen being the masculine half of the equation. You okay with that? Oh good.
Moving right along. Masculine and feminine are not things that can be measured directly. Like electrical charge, we know them by their properties and effects. Metaphors help us to get a handle on these concepts a little better.
The deep masculine is like a container, and the deep feminine is what it contains. So the contents of the universe—light and energy—are feminine, while space itself is masculine.
The river is feminine, while its banks are masculine. The masculine is what gives containment and direction to the primal forces of nature, which are in essence feminine—wind, storm, rain, bodies of water.
What fluctuates is feminine. What stays still is masculine. One metaphor that was particularly powerful was that of the man as the flagpole and the woman as the flag.
It’s the job of the flag to wave, and the job of the flagpole to stand steady so the flag can do its waving.
This is a metaphor that the instructor used several times, and I find it to be a useful one in the context of dating and relationships. What creates a deep attraction in the feminine is the feeling that a man is trustworthy—that even if she fluctuates, that you stay steady.
This gives the feminine latitude to express herself fully and express the goddess within. And when that happens, watch out guys! There is a manifestation of beauty, power, kindness, compassion and deep love unlike anything you’ve seen before.
But what makes that possible is YOUR being anchored in your deep masculinity—your ability to stand firm and provide the stable base, the flagpole from which she can wave.
One example where this applies is in the context of emotional outbursts and arguments. You may think that when your girlfriend gets upset, she wants you to engage and also get upset. She may even specifically *ask* you to do so.
However, if you were to follow the imperatives of the deep masculine and deep feminine, your job would be hold steady a space for her to express her emotions fully and safely without engaging in that dance yourself.
And you would find a way to love her in that moment for the fact that she is an expression of the deep feminine, and take her deeper into her goddess-hood. Right when she’s chewing you out and giving you drama. http://www.pianotiles2hackcheats.com/pianotiles2hack/
This is harder than it sounds (and it doesn’t exactly sound easy to start). The instructor demonstrated this with his wife. She got in a mock-argument with him, and he just stood there and looked at her lovingly, then took her by the waist, brought her close in while looking straight into her eyes, dipped her, twirled her and brought her back up close to him.
End of argument. And instead of the drama, there was something deeper and more fun.
Besides the fact that the seminar affected me deeply and has probably changed my neurology permanently (for the good, we hope), it made me realize several things that you guys will find very useful in your dating lives.
The big point is this: when you’re coming from a deep understanding of your unwavering purpose in life and are fully aligned with that, and then add to it your understanding and appreciation of the deep feminine as well as your sense of humor about the dance of visit our website life (since we’re all going to die anyway), you just become this juggernaut of male attractiveness that women find irresistible.
Why? Because there just aren’t many men out there like that. And because you can appreciate women in a way hardly any other man can—as the incarnation of the divine goddess.
When you get there, you won’t need seduction tricks, you won’t need inner game or outer game—you’ll just be. You’re coming from such a deep place that all those gimmicks from days of yore will seem quaint.
You will also realize that you have real choice, since what you have to offer will be so darn powerful. At the same time, you will get very picky, because http://www.linecookierunhackcheat.com/linecookierunhack/ you will develop this acuteness of vision such that you will only settle for the very best—those rare incarnations of the goddess who have the power to take you deeper into your purpose as a man.
I’m skimming over a lot of deep concepts here. We’ll talk more about this stuff in future articles, and I’ll do my best to get my instructor to do a teleseminar with you all, ’cause this guy click our website is GOOD. In the meantime, I can refer you to the works of David Deida (who was the seminar leader’s teacher), especially ‘The Way of the Superior Man’. If you don’t already have it, GET IT—it’ll be the best twenty bucks you’ve spent in a long time.
And remember to send your questions . I’m eager to hear from you.
The power is within you,
Dr Alex

The Irresistible Attraction Of Amulets
People whose investment horizons are limited to the likes of stocks, real estate or gold may not give a second thought to amulets, but in Thailand it’s a flourishing trade with an estimated market value of 10 billion Baht.
Collecting amulets and other sacred items is a centuries-old tradition, some of it founded on Buddhist religious beliefs, some of it linked to superstitions. In the past it was a low-profile activity but in recent years it’s become very mainstream.
Watcharapong Radomsittipat, a well-known amulet expert, says the trade is being fuelled by widespread media coverage _ radio, television, magazines and, more recently, websites that make news and information easily accessible to the general public and seasoned collectors.
There’s no denying, he adds, that the general unease in the country at the moment has people looking for hope in places they hadn’t looked before.
“The lack of happiness and confidence of people in society is a key factor driving them search for something divine, which they believe they can always depend on as it can take away their fear,” says Mr Watcharapong, who owns an amulet booth at the New World amulet center. He is also an owner of a magazine two websites.
According to Mr Watcharapong, there are now 20 to 30 websites that offer amulet information and e-auction or e-market services. His own two websites handle about 10 million baht worth of e-auction transactions per month, with as many as 100,000 items up for bid.
The amulet boom has spread into related businesses including coin manufacturing, amulet frame and container making and other fields. That’s good for the economy because it creates jobs, says Mr Watcharapong.
But he cautions that it should not get too commercialised. Collectors who really care about amulets should remember what attracted them in the first place, which is their spiritual value and the peace of mind amulets bring. “Things could get dangerous if people do it only for investment or speculative purposes.”Mr Watcharapong compares the concept of investing in amulets with an investment in stocks _ a fundamental approach is safe while price volatility is often the result of rumours or even manipulation by unscrupulous traders.
“The price in the market should reflect the true fundamentals of the sacred items. But if the price surges too high and too quickly, then it is probably be something like stock price manipulation.”
Yet, unlike stocks, there is no hard and fast rule to determine the price of amulets. There are no any mathematical approaches to determine future or target prices of amulets, which can often be totally unpredictable.
There are a number of cases, Mr Watcharapong says, in which prices have gone up by 1,000% or higher within just a year or a few years. “I once bought a Jatukarm-Ramathep (a well-known amulet) in 1995 at only 49 baht. Now, 12 years later, the price has gone up to over one million baht,” he says.
“However, many of my friends used to buy some amulets at prices that were too high, and then the prices took a nosedive after only a short while.”
One well-known collection, Benjapakee, used to command prices of five million baht or more but they fell by half during the economic crisis, he recounts.
Generally, older amulets are more costly than new issues. The most popular item among collectors today is Jatukarm-Ramathep, named for two great warrior clash of clans cheats http://www.caseclickerhack.com/ tool kings of the Srivijaya Kingdom.
The amulets were created more than 20 years ago but they have lately Visit here attracted huge amounts of media attention for miracles claimed by their holders. The tales have fired the imaginations of the general public and celebrities alike.
“It’s a simple rule of demand and supply,” Mr Watcharapong says. “And the media play a big role in driving the demand in the market.”
Other factors affecting prices include the model, scarcity, beauty, condition, the ritual ceremonies performed to make an amulet sacred, and the popularity of the temples where the rituals are held.
“The ritual done to bless the items must be done by highly revered monks who are admired by a majority of Buddhist adherents. The more venerable and well-known the monks are, the higher the demand will be in the market. Likewise, the more well-known the temples are, the more popular the amulets will be.”
For the novice collector, however, it may take time to get a fix on what acceptable par value prices are for amulets.
One more caution is that there are a large number of counterfeit items in the market _ few amateur collectors can tell the difference. Charoen Prachuabchai, a 33-year-old grocery seller who has been an amulet enthusiast for the past six years, says that, like many beginners, he learned his lessons the hard way _ buying amulets at higher prices only to find out later that they were fake.
“That was only a loss of several thousand baht. Yet, I learned my lesson that I needed more time to study and get to know them better,” Mr Charoen says.
Today he has more than 50 amulets on his shelves at home, most of them the well-known Jatukarm-Ramathep models. One of them, acquired in 2004 for 300 baht, is worth more than 20,000 baht in the market now.
Mr Charoen says that the materials used to create amulets are also very important price determinants. The more special the material, the higher the price. For instance, some amulets are made of soil from holy lands, click our website 108 types of filaments or bear’s canine teeth _ all can be set at high prices. Of course, the fewer copies there are of any item, the better the chances of price appreciation.
In the end, though, Mr Charoen says it’s not about money. The essence of amulets should be to help people calm their hearts and minds during times of trouble _ ” a guiding light in a tunnel,” he says with a smile.
