Masculine Input Required To Improve Society
In the article A Trinity of Accomplishment I gave illustrations of how the masculine influence acting upon the receptive feminine entity produces all things. Without the interplay of gender nothing can be produced, and within that interplay nothing can be initiated without the masculine principle. An example of what happens without the involvement of the masculine principle is the inability of our society to change things for the better.
Whatever your age, from the day that you were born until this moment those things that you consider bad, wrong, or negative in society have become more so. The rates of incarceration, substance abuse, divorce, adultery, unwed motherhood, and teenage sexual activity have all increased. Academic performance, marriage rates, family togetherness, standards of all sorts, honesty, reliability, and integrity has decreased. You live in a society that is incapable of making positive change because it does not understand the principle of gender and attempts to solve all problems trough material means such as money, academia, and police power.
The prophet Jeremiah downplayed these attributes by stating: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the valiant of his valor: nor let the rich man boast of his riches.” Nevertheless, our society consistently uses all three of these material tools in an attempt to remedy things and it never works. A classic case of this thinking was Hillary Clinton’s health care plan, which had nothing to do with health; it had to do with sickness and how to deal with it. Accepting the condition (a feminine trait) and nurturing it (another feminine) is what Clinton’s program was all about. She is again promoting the program in her presidential campaign but she cannot change the approach because she does not know how. She will again suggest more money, government power, and technology.
Education too has not responded favorably to a similar approach. Cutting down class sizes and paying teachers more does not improve academic performance; having fathers at home does. Money cannot effectively substitute for fatherhood nor can the government effectively substitute for manhood.
Materialism can never be creative nor make any human or societal condition better; all it does is rearrange existing material. Building a log cabin does not create, it rearranges the lumber of the forest into a home. Building a skyscraper just rearranges more stuff. The continual rearranging of that which has been given to us is polluting the world and destroying humankind.
The air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the thoughts we think are all polluted, and we are the richest nation in the world. We are so enamored with the accumulation of material things that we are even willing to tolerate some sickness to attain them. All this materialism has not made our lives better—only worse.
Of course we need material things, but for the purpose of supplying our needs. Instead we acquire these things to fulfill our greed, which never becomes sated. We have an imbalance in our lives and in our society. Excessive materialism does not work to our benefit; it destroys society.
Only when a balance is reached between the unseen masculine assertive influence and the seen feminine receptive entity will society’s ills lessen and natural health restored.
Sickness decreases as health is developed, arrests decrease as values are developed, substance abuse decreases as security and self-worth increase, and unwed motherhood decreases as the purpose of life is understood and inculcated. If these changes are to be made, men will make them. Real men.

spoken from a man who was raised pre 1950 feminist onslaught!!
All the middle aged men who think they have all the answers should re-examine their social fears!!
Most men upon encountering the feminist juggernaut are consumed under the wheels..
Men with a vital will to live will roll from under the tires, study, and observe the juggernaut..and take aim!!
most men are too weak and beaten!!
July 22nd, 2007 at 9:39 pm
Ok pretend you totally ignore everything EG says…..where does that leave you?
July 23rd, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Interesting. Looks like this Bolg turns all of the naysayers and attackers of Elder into mutes.
As much as I like what SK has to say, I have to seek to correct him, in that Feminism is not the enemy, we are our enemy…our laziness, materialism, lack of understanding of what a REAL Man is.
This is why Elder keeps hitting on the Masculine Princliple. Because it Takes a Father to raise a Man.
We cannot merely remove feminist doctrines and policies from our present culture and experience true change and rebuilding. There was something within Men that allowed the take over to occur.
That enemy within has to be confronted and eliminated to the best of each’s abilities First Then healing can come to our lives and our world.
The same principle of change applies to Fighting Totalitarianism, but wanting a Centralized Government to give you everything you want and control all things.
It is simply diseased thougt that must be removed first.
Few will ever dare to do this, but it has always been the few who cause and carry revolutions. The Majority has never been right, all sink to being mobs.
Judging from the response here, a whole lot of people get the message this time.
They must be busy getting Elder’s Book, as they sure are not here.
July 23rd, 2007 at 2:11 pm
thurst..The point in American history that we really witnessed the feminist paradigm shift was in the 50’s onward..
The new gender feminist used nazi esq. propaganda and indoctrination methods to crush the man…
the new gender feminist broke up mens social networks (elks, moose, ect. ect.) and the churches fell into chaos!!
father and son have been in effect seperated…men are divided and conquered..
In there efforts to yolk and enslave the poor uneducated workers (males)..they never envisioned the societal chaos that is now engulfing the middle class!!
July 23rd, 2007 at 2:19 pm
the question that concerns me most is why do the feds still fund them..Are they ignorant, or are they enjoying the benefits of feminist social control that has in effect kept men with their backs broken and toiling to an early death, and convinced men to be ashamed of themselves…so they never complain!!
and who’s paying the dearest price for our continued societal chaos..the next generation of boys…the noose gets tighter, and tighter!!

The Fed. government is not ignorant. It is doing waht all overnments do by design.
Washington said of government’s design thatit is a powerful servant and a fearful master, like Fire is.
The buying off of women allowed the government to breech the limitations of jurisdiction in ways the consitution has forever bloacked due to Article 1 Section 8 clause 17 if I recall correctly off the top of my hat.
By applying the old rule of the Benefactor controling the Beneficiary by disbursment of the benefit, the government then found its way behind closed doors and the walls of the home and made it a crime to procreate.
Many States have men in prison for child support that they could never pay.
So yes, government is enjoying that ADVANTAGE and CONTROl that it never had before, to own everything and everyone, and soon women will not be in much better shape now that the Prison Industry has learned that women prisoners are EVEN MORE maliable to Prison Labor purposes.
Yes the noose is so tight now, and if this message got out more people would hate what this place has become, what the government is making for the future of humanity, and realize that only one man running for President is for any of us; Ron Paul.
Woman already hate Feminism ins significant numbers, they are wondering when Men are going to do something about it. From graduation 2002 they have now had 5 years of bisexual experimentation and play. THey are wondering now if this is all that feminism has offered them? The Right to self-destruct under Sugar Daddy Government.
They are looking for Men.
They will find none about them, in their age group.
They wonder who will lead them.
Are there any Men of Action?
We must be men first, or our action will be nullified by the same selfish solutions proposed before under the Baby-Boomers. (Who do not have a generation to pay for their retirement that G-D promised none of us, which is a lie of Socialism to begin with.)
Socialism has a hard reality…one day the Bread runs out.
Any wonder Satan tempted Yeshua to turn stones to bread? To use power for purely selfish means. Abuse of power.
Governments and Kings…

raise awareness…
debunk feminist anti-male hysteria
Talk to people.

Help build a society that raises boys instead of an anti-male culture that abandonds them
July 24th, 2007 at 7:26 am
The First things I have and continue to do is learn how I was part of the problem so I can be part of the solution.
Since I am not feeding the sharks anymore I have q greater understanding of my rights.
I moved to a state that has decided imprisonment for the lack of money will not be done here.
Now I am learning all qbout habeas corpus, where men drive from their children because of outrageous support levels and arrest warrants can sue the county court for an account for the justification of the destruction of there liberties.
This in itself, when done by hundreds of thousands of Dads standing on each other’s shoulders will create pressure and a visible accounting of the Men who believe they have been wronged by the courts.
The Courts will see that they have lost the support of the public and collapse of society is imminant should they do nothing.
Men who do this will find comradery of action with others who are suffering.
Actions will be in state and federal courts.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Oh yes, I am sure women will join such men of learning and action, swelling the numbers and striking fear into the ABA and Bench.
This will circumvent the legal maze and lawlessness of the courts bringing fathers and children back together.
Nice thing being that the remedy may take under 60 days.
Why lawyers have not done this is? because it challenges the Courts and the Guild (ABA).
If there is no contraversy they make no money. Also change to untrained tactics is dangerous to the bottom line and membership.
What lawyer wants to expose the scam that they want to inherit when they rise to judgeship?
Habeas reaches any restraint of liberties.
Any threat of arrest or seizure of a license needed to exercise a liberty, by any officer of the court is constructive custody.
The only option is continue to complain and be men of inaction.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:13 am
thurston..”The only option is continue to complain and be men of inaction”
A man standing alone can accomplish very little..
A man educateing other men to stand by him, can accomplish more!!
July 24th, 2007 at 11:41 am
scottkirk — I agree with your #13, but there’s a caveat. Men are only capable of workign together with other strong men when they themselves are strong.
Men need time alone to develop themselves. If I were to ask one screening question to separate men of action from men of inaction, it would be, “Have you devoted at least 200 hours to something difficult, competitive, and individualistic – solely for the enjoyment thereof? Work-related endeavours don’t count!”
Thurston didn’t become a strong man until he started slugging it out in the courts over habeous corpus. I didn’t become a strong man until I started my own business (although poker helped a lot, and now I’m taking up golf.)
There’s just so much about that individual development that men need. And you can always tell those men who haven’t had this!
July 24th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
MMX..Iv’e forged my constitution between the hammer and the anvil!!
Most men surrender to the massive omnipotent feminist leviathan/ others start poking and prodding for it’s weakness!!!
The final weakness of the feminist leviathan is that it will consume itself/ of which it allready is…western birthrates are not enough to reproduce themselves/ and thats historically the point of collapse!!
I would rather not sit around and watch the wreckage, so I try as best I can, to raise awareness, and educate men!! It may or may not be enough action on my part, who knows, but god will have the final say whether I fought the good fight/ or choose the more selfish path of least resistance!!
July 24th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
men who read here..For gods sake, and the sake of our sons/daughters…do not choose the path of least resistance…It’s a dead end road!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
There already are plenty of men who are waling wounded and living dead from the juggernaut.
They need a course of action after having their preceptions realigned by the loss of all of their material possessions.
Since so many of us have lost everything, now nothing can hold us back.
July 24th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
If I were to accept Jefferson’s solution; I would argue that what is needed, in part, are more farms, and thus a restoration of the Homestead Act (by which he paid off the National Debt in full, the only President to do so), opening up all the Federal lands of the West, and those up in Alaska … for he would argue that it is on the farm that the old values flourish, and that it is in the cities, where men are piled upon each other, where morals wane and disease of mind and body flourish.
I’ve thought it interesting that one of the effects of radical environmentalism (another religion that goes side by side with the emotion driven religion of feminism) is that it has served to pile us up in cities where pollution and the destruction of the environment is the natural result. The homes grow closer and closer together because everything being locked up by the federal government or other inventive means makes each piece of property more precious, and so the developers are pressured by economics to build high intensity housing. Families don’t flourish in such an environment (they grow smaller), nor do morals (I’m generalizing, some few grow considerably stronger amidst such adversity), nor marriages (with costs of living and a less moral, less sensible, less family friendly environment pressuring her into the work place and thus in temptations path).
Likewise, use the funds from the homestead act to pay down the debt, and thus lower the tax burden, making it more possible for a one income family.
So here’s for the restoration of the homestead act as but one sword in th arsenal against radical feminism.
And I have to add, having lift both in the city and the country, in over 30 locations, and now living in S.E. Idaho, I see a different sort of man here, the kind that supposedly doesn’t exist any more. Fiercely independent, so many being able to build their own home, take care of their own repairs, large families, large homes and properties, and able to keep mom home, knowing how to live off the land too. Sons and daughters with strong values. Boys who serve both in the military (a high percentage of them, and as missionaries, or between tours), coming home to continue the cycle of hard work, strong families, belief in God, and patriotism. It still does happen you know. Bring back the Homestead Act and we might see far more of it.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
To Steve Farrell,
The disease hasn’t spread as deeply in the rural areas yet, but it is growing and none will escape from it.
Do you think the Homestead Act will undo the collective harm of the laws already on our books? Do you think it could be passed?
The die has been cast Steve, there is no turning back. This system is coming down. If there is going to be any change it will have to come from outside of the system that created this mess.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
I am not that cynical; thou I am no pollyanna either. The forces to bring America down have been with us a long time; other forces have checked its progress; and my opinion is that they are growing stronger, even as we see the adversary growing stronger at the same time.
Maybe it’s my faith, and well, it is, but it is also my experience and profound conviction, that this is the one time in history that good will rise against evil and win … It’s the showdown time of history, and I’m not of that brand of Christianity that reads into Daniel’s prophecy of a stone cut out of the mountain without hands (in the days of these kings), that not be left to other peoples, and never be destroyed, but will break in pieces all those other kingdoms (which, the gold, silver, brass, clay, etc) and reign forever … I see that happening in the days ahead. Growing evil, but growing good, and the good finally winning out in, yes, what might seem like an impossible situation, with many falling under the weight of the day, or withering before the heat.
Besides, it does no good to prophesy doom; but only to, as men of faith and substance, to do something, and how do we inspire others to so act, by saying the end is coming and there is nothing we can do. Well, then we might as well forget this whole masculine thing, and go to hell in a handbasket, because nothing matters.
I was reading Emerson on Heroes the other day. One of the things about them he stated, was that they make the climate wherever they live, seem healthy. I think if increasing manliness in the world is the object of the conversation, then it behooves us to be those sort of men in challenging times … men who don’t pussy foot about the danger, but who somehow convince us that victory can be ours if we will step up, and who inspire us to do so.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
errr. …. edit: I am of that brand that believes Daniel’s prophecy … of a final victory … of a kingdom being set up on earth in our day, prepared to meet Christ at his coming, and this amidst the gathering storm … of men and women who will be the salt of the earth, the staff upon which this nation will lean when all seems lost.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
to Steve,
I am not saying to do nothing. On the contrary I am sayingto do something, but outside of the system. And I do not believe the world will end, but a lot will be destroyed before the good flows in.
The system that brought on our current problems will collapse. It is in theprocess of collapse. We must be ready with something better when it happens. I do not see the Homestead Act or any “fixing” of the system working.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
the spirit of the idea of the homstead act might be great but the idea of government being the solution is not very healthy. feminism has preached that and look where we are.
a shift to agrarian culture may be beyond anyone’s choice.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
Alright … I’ll agree in part with “the system” idea, in that the country will not be saved in Washington, nor by some program; and that the fundamental changes need to come from within people, families, churches, home and private schools, and private associations and organizations – yet while that goes forward simultaneously “the system” still can be and ought to be used in Constitutional ways to do all we can do on that front; if for no other reason than to maintain the freedoms necessary for private solution, to slow down the rate of descent, and at times stop it cold in its tracks and maybe even reverse things on some fronts … which I see happening all of the time … if not it would have been all over a long time ago.
Dickens this is the best of times this is the worst of times idea, I believe, still holds true. There are so many examples of far more desperate times than these, and few if any that can equal the good that is currently available and going on.
Though no man knows the day or the hour … and sure I could paint some scenarios of how things might deteriorate awfully quickly; I can just as easily see better times ahead rather than worse. Heck, I even read a Newsweek article talking about the trend toward modesty in dress returning among women.
I see organizations like FIRE and Liberty Counsel, and others turning back the ACLU all over the place; I see in my own faith faithfulness, devotion, sacrifice, and consecration growing rather than waning … I see the Internet itself as one of the great miracles of our time … as a place where men and women have been able to access something outside the mainstream media; where hundreds, perhaps thousands of men and women have dedicated their lives to preserving liberty, morality, and Christianity, without pay … and in many cases quite succesfully. A place where vast libraries of materials, founding writings, classics, apologists, unavailable in the public classroom, and often the public libraries, now available for free, thousands of books. A place where folks can be notified in an instant of a bill soon to be voted on, see the text of the bill, press a button, put in a zip code, press another button, and have a pre-written letter (with the option to put it in one’s own words) to our congressmen, and another click and off it goes … and on and on. Communities that cross geographic lines, organizing together, sharing ideas and engaging in political action, affectively, and often, at little or no cost. I’ve seen these efforts turn the fate of a bill around in a matter of hours.
What is so fascinating, and I think miraculous about this is in relationship to DeToqueville’s prescient insight as to the difference between a healthy republic and a decaying democracy. The former, because most decisions are made on the local level, have thousands and thousands of local newspapers, because with government local, the people feel empowered. As democracy becomes corrupt, power centralizes, the people more and more feel helpless, even naked before the state, the local papers disappear, and even the bigger papers, one by one disappear with all news information centralizing in a few spots, the people disengage from involvement in governmental affairs. It happened; just like he said. And then came the Internet. Was it by chance; or a foreordained miracle in this winding up scene of the world, to empower the forces of good against the forces of evil, the sources of truth against the forces of falsehood?
Look at this website alone. A place, I believe, where people are not told what to think, but learn how to think. An intellectual playland in some respects, a breeding place for tomorrow’s great thinkers, the men and women who may turn this whole place around. But this is only one among many.
The college I affiliate with is another. It has stayed out of the accreditation game; offered a world class education focused on not what to think but how to think, giving young kids and education modeled after what America’s Founding Fathers got at the early Harvard and Yale, and through private mentors like George Wythe. No lecture format. Complete immersion in original writings, all the classics, early dictionaries, the Bible and other religious texts, etc. etc. … and directed discussions, with complete free speech, where any student can grab the chalk in the middle of the discussion and become the teacher … etc…. Internships that are as activists at the U.N. or elsewhere, on the cutting edge, drafting legislation, persuading delegates and congressmen, etc., rather than pushing envelopes for some congressmen. Mock courts, etc. Caring and engaged mentors. Progress and grades based on individualized plans with these mentors. One may move as fast as he can through the undergrad and grad programs, or as slow as he needs to. The school is branching out … moving into other countries too. World class scholars are beginning to affiliate with it, so many served for over a decade not too far away from out of the charity of their hearts and a belief in a vision. Still out of the system. There’s your point.
But they work with the system too; and under the idea of statesmanship, which they define in part as getting rid of the idea of “them against us.” That is, again in part, requiring things like working on common beliefs with so many different groups, perhaps ad hoc, here and there, without abandoning core values in the process. “Them against us” must be done away with if we are to win. It makes for too many intractable enemies. It is one of the reasons for instance the Founders kept the Constitutional debates out of the public eye. They wanted to avoid the public posturing of politics, and rather have the flexibility of statesmanship.
I’m hopeful; and my approach is both in and out of the system; as a matter of duty on both counts. As to look what feminism did when it used the state; the example is a corrupt use of the state, empowering the state to crush free speech in their favor for instance. A correct use of the state is not then to take the state to impose the Christian church in the classroom (which would be just as dangerous not for what may be taught, but for creating the power to control the debate), but rather for Christians to step up to the plate and assert their right to participate in the public debate, to not be excluded from the classroom discussion, etc. This is Jefferson’s point about religious freedom and freedom of speech etc. In such an atmosphere, he said, “the cream will rise to the top,” not with the state imposing it, but by the state protecting the free debate. Here is how true religion is found out he observed, and every other truth.
As to our “fate” the republic may fall tomorrow, it may last another three centuries. I’m working for the latter. I see these as the worst of times and the best of times, and I choose to emphasize the latter without forgetting about the dangers of the former.

Steve,
Your welcome. There are many differences in our respective viewpoints, but we apparently desire most of the same results.
July 26th, 2007 at 12:42 am
scottkirk – One of the best things about Elder’s message is that it instructs men only to find other men of action. The moment I understand that you’re a man of action is the moment I no longer need to worry about what you’ll do.
July 26th, 2007 at 5:30 am
MMX I agree..men whose world no longer revolves around a gynocentric sphere of influence, are free to fight the good fight!!
July 26th, 2007 at 5:35 am
men who shed their feminist indoctrination…who shed their psychological castration can then start to build the foundations for a new paradigm!!
July 26th, 2007 at 6:16 am
deep stuff. good stuff. as soon as i stopped drinking the kool-aid, i began the process of enlightening my son. it took 8 years, but at 33 he now is absolutely focused on the path to personal happiness and stays vigilant in his walk thru the world of feminism. no tatoos, no bastard kids to pay childs support on, no controlling shrew that sucks the life out of his head. its not everything, but to me its a good thing. if 90% of all american fathers could say about their sons what i can about mine, what a different world it would already be. my apology to those who love and cherish your kids and grandkids born out of wedlock. i needed to make my point.
July 26th, 2007 at 7:39 am
donnie boy…This tale that was taught to young men endured the ages for a reason!!
The greeks had some folklore about a group of women called the sirens. they lived on an remote island out at sea. As ships would sail past the island the sirens would line up on shore and cry lovingly sweet and seductive crys for help. Hence the term (siren) is sounding the alarm for help.
But those men who answered the sirens seductive crys for help ended their voyage and the lives of their men by crashing their ship into the jagged rocks on the shoreline, then the sirens looted the smashed ships.
Only men who could resist the seductive alluring cries of the siren, were allowed to safely pass by.
All sirens are women, but not all women are sirens!!
