Greetings All,
The following is from an old Reset News Update post and was well received. I’m sharing it again because there are many blog subscribers here that are women, I noticed recently, going through the subscription list. So enjoy:
-Over 95% of my friends are women. Why? Because most men don’t get it, i.e. intuition and being empathic.
In the class I took on intuitive development in 1990, I was the only guy in the class.
In all the years that I did intuitive readings afterward, 98% of my clients were women. With the 2% of men, I recall it oft being a struggle with them during readings, seeing they were unable to intuitively grasp what I would try to convey, whereas women would understand things quickly on this level.
I much prefer to play my guitar for women as they do not have this thing called a male ego and don’t feel threatened when I play. As an aside, I’ll never forget the time three beautiful Spanish women came over to where I was and I played my guitar for them in the most wondrous of settings in the mountains, while all the guys there were watching football inside. It was one of the best audiences ever and one of them said my guitar playing reminded them of the mountains around us, which is exactly what I aspired to do. No guy would ever say something like this or listen like they were.
“We don’t understand American men.” One of them said to me. “I don’t either.” I said and resumed playing.
Over the years, many of my women friends have shared stories with me of guys being jerks. So much so that it is, at times, an embarrassment to be a guy. In response to these reports, I penned the following article where I state that it is unconscious birth trauma and the resulting character armoring that is the source of much defensiveness, emotional and intuitional stunting in men and women as well and that re-birthing could help get rid of the armoring, as it did for me:
On a lighter note, here are some of dating selling points :
You won’t have to listen to me brag about what I own.
You won’t have to listen to me talk about hunting, fishing, sports or cars as I’m not into any of these things.
I don’t drink, smoke, gamble or chase skirt.
I won’t lock you in a room and make you sign a relationship contract. (this actually happened to a woman I know. She wisely refused.)
I have worked through all of my no longer unconscious birth trauma via re-birthing and all resulting armoring has been dissolved and defensiveness removed. I’m in touch with my emotions and intuition as a result. More grounded and present too.
If chivalry is ever allowed again, I will court a woman in a Chrétien de Troye kind of way.
I am respectful of boundaries. As an example, a woman visited me for a week out in the desert in Death Valley and on the day she left, came over and gave me a hug and said, “Thank you for being decent and not hitting on me.” It truly was a compliment. We’ve been friends ever since.
Having stated all this, I am doing very well being single at present time and not being intimately tangled up with anyone. Why ruin a good friendship?
-Currently, I am listening to a cricket under my seat stridulating its Gryllidae brains out, in search of a mate. When I first saw it 5 days ago, I gathered it up in my hands to let it out of my car, only to have it jump and escape. No water, no food and the thing is sawing its legs together right now, hoping for some companionship. Several attempts w/ a flashlight to locate it have failed. I do admire its tenacity for sure and that it has sufficient energy to continue to stridulate. Anyone know the life cycles of crickets? I’d like some peace and quiet.
-Enough for now. I’m so very grateful for the few of you who comment, like, subscribe, restack, give shout outs, encourage and help support this 100% ad free channel . Very much appreciated and heartening too.
