Mating rituals, marriage ceremonies, rites of passage, and respect for elders become the norm of societal activity. Children are considered gifts of God that ensure the future of the race.

These societies are referred to as patriarchal and they have moral considerations and few if any laws; they operate on custom and tradition, and where internal conflict arises the solutions are based on what is best for the group.

The patriarchal structure evolved throughout the world not only among humans but animals as well, especially mammals. The doe agrees to mate with the buck that demonstrates strength, courage, and the willingness to die for her. The lion accepts those females into the pride whose scent he recognizes, and the other females help to raise the cubs. If he does not recognize her scent the cubs are killed, for the lion wants the pride to be free of disease and also he wants what comes out of the females to be a result of what he put into them.

The purity of females and courage of males were attributes revered throughout the world; that is until the European influence came upon the scene.

The European psyche being predominantly feminine extolled the virtues of self (the ME) and unrestricted opportunity for self-aggrandizement. Its thinking focused on what was without instead of on what was within. Since the people had no sense of family upon which to base right action, they developed a system of laws to maintain order. Men gave the control of their lives to an outside entity.

From the earliest European Greeks there existed a great dependency on the law. Draco instituted a system of law based on an aristocracy (the feminine form of government.) Solon developed a system of law in which eligibility for political power was based on wealth (a feminine value.) From Draco, to Solon, to Justinian, to Napoleon, the Europeans prided themselves on their legal institutions. After a 2,000-year history based on law, when the Europeans came to America the Indians said of them, “white man speak with forked tongue.” Indeed he did, for the law is but a poor substitute for the masculine influence. The manly way is “let your yes be yes, and let your no be no.” The law is for those who can’t live by that code.

Western man’s reliance on the law grew and grew, until finally the law governed his every act. That which he created enslaved him. To prevent his escaping from this slavery required the utilization all forms of surveillance including credit cards, phone records, commuter transit cards, payroll records, and the proliferation of surveillance cameras upon an increasing amount of his daily activities.

Has Western man learned that he created the very entity that enslaved him? No. He still believes that by enacting new laws and making changes to elected officials, he will become free. That is the equivalent of a slave asking the slave master for better working conditions. The slaves life will only improve when he removes himself form the yoke of that which enslaved him.

The membership of MRM suffers from punitive and enslaving laws that they themselves created, or at least acquiesced to. The release from this condition is to go back to a system of rule by men with a value structure based on the propagation and preservation of the species—a society where men have obligations, responsibilities, and considerations for women, children, the family, and the tribe. If even the animals can raise chaste females and responsible and courageous males, shouldn’t we be able to do as much? That way of life is called patriarchy and it needs no laws to govern itself, only custom, tradition, mores, and most importantly an understanding of that which is within.

If you want to break free of this self inflicted life of slavery and join with like-minded men to bring about a natural way of life you can do so by contacting me at www.mensaction.net.

Scottkirk who is a member of the fourthwire generation frequently indicates to me that I was raised at a time before the complete saturation of society with feminine values that his generation was subjected to, and therefore I have a better understanding of masculine values. This is only somewhat so, but to Scott, I say reread the booklet 20th Century Decadence; this mess began over 2,000 years ago. Reread the chapter Tyranny at Home in my book, which explains how the Industrial Revolution exacerbated the feminine nature of our society and drove men out of the home and made of them beasts of burden who only had time to eat and sleep in their own homes.

Scott, however, is right in that we have been saturated by feminine materialistic values, and the fourthwire generation reflects those values. The masculine principle focuses on that which is unseen. When I refer to the unseen it un-nerves my detractors. They seem to think that what I say is secret. I have never alluded to anything secret. Unseen is only secret to those who cannot grasp it. Because of my promotion of unseen masculine values I have been accused by infidel in the true accusatory nature of feminine materialism, of promoting Eastern religions. Infidel, I will accommodate you today, I will use as support for my arguments the teachings of one who was born in Asia and spent his early childhood in Africa. His name is Jesus.

Early on Jesus stated, “My kingdom is not of this world” However, others thought then that the kingdom must be someplace else, and he later explained, “The kingdom of God is not in one place or another, the kingdom of God is within.” All things come from within, from the unseen masculine principle. Understanding the dual nature of man and the temptations between the seen and the unseen Jesus said, “A man’s heart is where his treasure is.” The treasure of the West is in the material world.

The West has built huge material edifices and has come to worship the works of its own hand. It looks upon one of its great material “discoveries” the formula E equals mc squared, which in essence means that matter can be converted to energy. This was only a “discovery” to the Western mind. People of the spirit knew it from the beginning. This formula enables man to destroy matter. As a test we blew up two cities. Now we are worried that some other nation might decide to do that to us. However, the West is unable to do the reverse, and that is to create matter from energy.

To create matter form energy, which is but a form of mind, the unseen spirit must be called into play. Jesus fed the multitudes from a few loaves of bread and a few fish. He converted water to wine. He taught us that greater things than these we could do, we could even move mountains. Unfortunately the only way the West can move mountains is to blow them up, because is cannot deal with the unseen.

The whole basis of holistic medicine is to change that which is within, then that which is without will change. People are not grouchy and grumpy because they have broken and dysfunctional bodies; they have broken and dysfunctional bodies because they are grouchy and grumpy. The unseen always affects the seen. Jesus said, “Which is easier to say, thy sins are forgiven (the unseen) or arise and walk (the seen)?

The entire educational system of the West is feminine materialistic. It deals with information and not knowledge. Regarding the unseen nature of knowledge I quote from Walt Whitman’s Song of the Open Road, a huge spiritual revelation put into poetic form.
“ Wisdom is not finally tested in schools. Wisdom cannot be passed from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible to proof, is its own proof.”

The material world that we live in is collapsing; our buildings, cities, and bridges are coming down. It matters not who or what is causing it, nobody can stop it. We live in a time when society has the identical values that Israel did at the time of Jeremiah. Whether it was the Babylonians who carted them away or some other force, the fact was that the materialistic life of Israel would come to an end.

I am not a pessimist, and do not believe the world will end anymore than it did at the time of Jeremiah; but it sure did change a lot for the Israelis. So our world will change too. In order to rebuild during the aftermath will require men of courage; men who will be able to say as ggreen did in his comment #148 to Marriage is Natural, I AM A MAN. You made my day ggreen, and I trust you inspired others. You don’t need anything else. Once you realize the unseen power that was given to you from the beginning there will be no obstacle too great for you to overcome. The Adam principle is within you. It is the power of the universe and it is yours for the asking.

The change will come from a getting together of other men who can say I AM A MAN. There will be many from the fourthwire generation who have come to understand their manhood and its responsibilities. They will, as stated in Isaiah, rebuild on the old foundations and will be called the rebuilders. If you are one of those men contact us at www.mensaction.net.

My message promotes patriarchy, a societal structure in which most people marry. Marriage is not only necessary for the propagation and preservation of the species, it also provides for your health, well being, and enjoyment. I have addressed the importance of marriage in recent articles and will not take your time to review them here, other than to say that the prime relationship between men and women is for the purpose of propagating the species.

Those who are leery of getting married, I well understand your concerns considering the draconian laws that exist against men in general and husbands in particular. A man can only be responsible for what he has authority over. The government has removed all authority from men, yet holding him responsible for family actions has grown. Many states now fine parents for the offenses of their children but prohibit any form of disciplining them.

In addition to the severity of laws relating to marriage, the laws relating to single men and women are just as lopsided and normally favor the woman. Not being married does not help you under those circumstances.

Married life is natural to humankind and to men in particular. Men build teams, groups, organizations, families, and tribes. We do this inherently as part of our efforts to propagate the species. To not get married is to capitulate to the enemy; it is joining their camp. The Marxists and liberals don’t believe in marriage. By not getting married you give power to their cause.

Marriage is a major consideration of Men’s Action. I have a booklet available entitled Why Marriage, which extols the importance of marriage. Patriarchy is family, and there is no family without marriage.

Now what are men to do? Can we change these draconian and punitive laws? That would be trying to fix things, as would be having meetings with various political groups. There is no fixing of anything. It’s all going down the tubes. Why meet with groups who have created this mess and have no understanding of the differences between those who have testis and teats? There is no way to convince that level of ignorance of anything relating to family.

Two courses of activity can lead to improved relations with the opposite sex that will lead to a stable marriage. The first requires action on an individual level. The world around you is the one you create. An example is abused and beaten women. If they move from New York to Chicago they get abused again. If they move from Chicago to Los Angeles they get abused again. They have a very high rate of recidivism. However, if they change within, they no longer draw men to them who will abuse them, nor will they press the wrong buttons of a normal man. So too, if a man understands and lives his masculinity, he will draw unto him women who respect that trait, which Denis, explained in detail in a response to one of my blogs. This is a truism my brothers, and it works.

Improving you relationship with women does not negate all the negative laws around you; a second step requires that you associate with like-minded people and create a community that will support and reinforce marriage. Both of these steps can be taken through Men’s Action.

Don’t sit and wait for someone to make your life better—it won’t happen. Join with like-minded people at Men’s Action and make it happen.

It was a good experience for all who participated for it showed in microcosm what to expect in macrocosm as our message and movement take root. All of the enemy are not “out there” somewhere. Always a portion of the enemy is within. An Indian Hindu killed Gandhi, an Egyptian Muslim killed Sadat, an Israeli Jew killed Rabin, and we all know who did Jesus in.

There will always be some who want to impede your success whether due to envy, the loss of their position, or the fear of change.

These are normal reactions. If you plan to stay the course with Men’s Action be prepared to face much worse when up against the true enemy. Do not even dream of participating in change without having the expectation of violent reaction to your views. You are witnessing one of the reasons why making social change is difficult. Many are called and few are chosen applies to all who attempt to make change; you have to be willing to withstand the abuse.

It helps to recall the words of Martin Luther King who suffered much abuse in his attempts to make social change: “Never succumb to the temptation to become bitter. As you press on be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapons of love.”

The attack provided other lessons. Those who accept my message and expand upon it are inner motivated rather than responsive to outward stimuli. They have been reminded of the truth within them. Our system of education is feminine oriented. It pours information into people and then gives them the opportunity to recite what they retained. Their recitations are awarded certificates, diplomas, degrees, and licenses. Women like to recite, that’s why they are preferred in school and industry. Real men don’t like to recite information; they prefer to understand the knowledge that comes from within. Once this knowledge is understood it cannot be extinguished; instead it serves as the motivation to go and make change. I am elated at the manifestations of the inner truth contained in the comments to my blogs.

Gathering support on MND is important as long as the objective of disseminating the knowledge that created the support is kept in mind. Like-minded people live near you, work near you, worship near you, or who just happen to be near you; reach out to them. They are thirsting for someone to give them hope and an alternative to what they have. It does not take a great mind to see that the system has collapsed. It takes courage to offer an alternative and work to bring it to fruition.

Thanks again for your support. Have a good weekend. We’ll get together again next week.

The use of icons as symbols of various conditions and beliefs has served as an integral part of Western communications for millennia. We use icons in business, politics, religion, and especially on the internet. They serve as a type of communications short hand.

In the religious sense icons fulfill the feminine aspect of our beings, in that we like to see a physical representation of the unseen. Unfortunately, these icons frequently get worshipped instead of the entity that they represent, which accounts for many spiritual teachers espousing iconoclasm in one form or another.

We use symbolism to represent political parties: the elephant, the donkey, and the hammer and sickle, to identify republicans, democrats, and communists respectively.
The bear and the bull represent the direction of the stock market. We also enjoy destroying the icons of our opposition. Every American paper carried pictures of the statues of Lenin being hauled down after the Berlin Wall was removed, and pictures of the statues of Hussein being hauled down after the American occupation of Iraq.

Symbols frequently represent companies, organizations, and products. Advertising agencies attempt to imbed in our sub-conscious the icons of the companies they represent or the products that those companies manufacture.

The use of symbols and routine practices (which fall into the category of icons) can serve to hold society together. When women used the terms Miss and Mrs. it identified their position in the community, as did the wearing of a wedding band. Also, addressing people with the terms Miss, Mr. and Mrs. signified respect. When I lived in Harlem people called me Mr. George as a sign of respect because I was older. Hispanics would refer to me as Papi. I was raised to be respectful to people in all forms of authority and part of my military training taught me to say yes sir and no sir, and yes ma’am and no ma’am to anything that moved. I can’t remember the last time I heard a young man say yes sir to me. All these practices were icons necessary for the functioning of society; and liberal iconoclasts have destroyed them.

Society now uses material acquisition symbols that serve as icons of worldly success.
Designer clothes, pricey cars, ostentatious home furnishings, and a myriad of electronic gadgets serve as icons of our apparent success in the world. These icons serve to perpetuate the values a materialistic society. To avoid the chaos that results from the breakdown of the family and tribe inherent in materialistic thinking, laws are created to take the place of family values, and a monolithic government that intrudes into every area of our private lives, enforces these laws.

Materialism is the religion of America, its god is Mammon, and its headquarters are in Washington. The religious texts that they use are The Communist Manifesto and the Constitution, the latter serving as a vehicle to institute the former. James Madison described democracy as violent, short lived, mob ruled, and communistic in its attitude toward property, religion, and social thought—being in truth the great “leveler” and the “worst” of all forms of government. The religion of materialism believes in the equality of the sexes—we are all wage earners—and the benevolent power of the government.

There is very little difference between the liberals and conservatives, except that the liberals practice their religion more openly. They don’t believe in matters spiritual, in gender, or in family and they readily espouse this viewpoint. The conservatives mouth the importance of family and believe that they can have family while maintaining gender equality, but it doesn’t work for them. They also think they can have spiritual growth without manhood but that doesn’t work for them either.

It’s time for another round of iconoclasm. It’s time for men—real men—to stand up and rid our society of the materialistic icons that have been imposed upon it. The job is much easier than you might imagine. We have all noticed that neither party has a platform of significance. That’s because of the lack of energy and abundance of apathy prevalent in society today. Virility comes only from men—real men—and they will take the action necessary to smash the materialistic icons of today and restore a spiritually based and gender oriented way of life.

Don’t worry about the wimps; they will scream and yell but will offer nothing—they are impotent and will pass just as night dissolves into daylight. I will address them in a separate article.

Now is the time to recognize the power within you and step up and be counted, and indicate that you are ready to make change. It’s time to get rid of a lot of icons.

Mother earth was designed to provide for our needs, not to satiate our greed. Mother earth suffers from continual abuse. Environmentalism is essentially ineffectual. My donations are wasted. The effects that result from over-consumption cannot be altered. Ultimately all environmental efforts will prove to be fruitless.

A change in the environment requires a change in our thinking. A change in our health requires a change in our thinking. A change in our government requires a change in our thinking. A change in our morals requires a change in our thinking. Unfortunately, we as a nation want to continue with the old ways but without paying the consequences for our actions. We believe we can defy the great law of cause and effect by the works of our own hands. This attitude is spiritual ignorance and we are wallowing in it.

Women don’t take care of women—men do. Female material thinking cannot save mother earth; only the unseen masculine thinking can. That thinking focuses on causes, which can change effects.

I look to hear from and witness the participation of those real men and women who can tell the difference between a cause and an effect and who have the WILL to do something about it.

This condition has created a dissatisfaction on the part of the marriage minded American male with members of the opposite sex and has motivated him to look for a wife elsewhere. After World War II American soldiers brought back wives from Germany, Italy and Japan, because he thought women from those countries knew how to treat a man. After the Korean War our soldiers came back with Koran wives for the same reasons, then Vietnamese wives after out war in Vietnam. One of my American readers lives in Siberia, because that is where women still know how to treat a man; and another has thoughts of moving to the Philippines because women there still know how to treat a man. Now that the most of the world has been Westernized and no longer trains women to be wives and mothers, the American man has become angry and he displays his anger by not getting married. He’s showing everybody. He tends not to realize that the anger comes from the conditions he himself created.

The feminine principle acts through women equally all over the world; it manifests differently according to how women are raised and trained. The feminine principle is receptive, and working through women causes them to be adaptable, responsive and accommodating. If they are not accommodating to the American male, then he is not doing his job.

At this point I say to all women who read this article, regardless of your political or religious persuasion, whatever is wrong in society, men are responsible for it. They have created this mess. Feminism, increased government intrusion into our private lives, and the emasculation of men are all symptoms of the materialistic value structure of Western society. Show compassion for men, but don’t let them off the hook of responsibility. They and only they can make change. Motivate them.

Nothing in this universe happens by accident. “Whatever a man sows he shall also reap,” is a great fundamental teaching. We make excuses for our condition, and that is all that they are—excuses. It is the unseen that controls the seen.

Western man continues to revert to the past to solve all present day issues that came about as a result of what he did in the past. He laments that “we can’t return to our original constitutional government.” Madison, Jefferson, and Adams all rued what they had created. What they created brought us our present mess. The Constitution was no different than the government of the city-states created by the Greeks 2,500 years earlier. It didn’t work for the Greeks and the Constitution didn’t work for us.

Perhaps I am not being sensitive enough to the issue of dumping what we have been accustomed to for in the words of Alberto Moravia, “There is no greater suffering for man than to feel his cultural foundation giving way beneath his feet.” Our cultural foundation is indeed giving way beneath our feet, and while it hurts, it is what we need to rebuild society. “A man must be reborn” applies to all change.

We need to stop looking without for materialistic solutions and instead must look within for spiritual solutions. Author Elaine Pagels quotes Jesus in the Gnostic Gospels as follows, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

As men we have to bring forth what is within us. We must realize our inherent power. In all my writings I have never suggested governmental action or suggested which party to vote for. The only thing that I have called for is action by men. One of the early steps of this action is to rid us of our materialistic values and open ourselves up to the truth that is within, which is why I developed the male Enlightenment and Empowerment seminar. Only when we realize the knowledge and power within us will we be able to make change.

When a person gives a lecture to a group of people the subjective responses usually fall into three categories: 1. “He’s right on,” 2.”Interesting, I’ll think about it,” 3.” Off the wall, why did they let him in here?” If the lecture also calls for action, the responses become more emotional: 1. “I’m joining up,” 2. “I’m going to have to look into this,” 3. “Get rid of him.”

These types of reactions occur in response to most any call for change. The purchase of Alaska became known as Seward’s folly, the development of the steamboat became known as Fulton’s folly, and Marconi’s friends brought him to a therapist when he proposed that voices waves could be transmitted through the atmosphere. These three men also had their supporters else they would not have been able to accomplish what they did, and there were those who were in the middle waiting to see which way events would go. Whether pro-evolutionists or anti-evolutionists, each side has the same three mixes of responses.

When the change suggested is societal or religious, the responses become even more emotional. Change becomes equated with heresy, and our society has a practice of burning heretics at the stake or doing them in some other way. Machiavelli described the difficulty in making societal change as follows, “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain of its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”

The introduction of a new order of things threatens people’s belief structures and their sense of security. People want their circumstances to change, but they do not want to change. I have an acquaintance in his mid thirties who suffers from diabetes, and I suggested that he change his diet. His response to me was, “I’m not giving up my pasta and pizza.” He wanted a change in his health condition, but he did not want to change his eating habits. People are secure in their value structure; they just don’t like the negative results they produce.

The heroes of the American Revolution fall into category one of the opening paragraph, the Tories fall into category two, and the Loyalists fall into category three. Early American Revolutionaries were ignored by the Loyalists, and tolerated by the Tories; eventually as the message of the Revolutionaries gathered in strength more of the Tories were won over and the Revolution took place.

This natural reaction for a call to action has its benefits, for the resistance provided by category three causes those in category one to refine their views and hone their presentations so that those in category two receive greater understanding and then move into category one. Also, the vileness, abusiveness, and disrespect of the extremists in category three produce a defense of category one thinking within the ranks of category two. I believe this is how most change comes about and confirms the words of Gandhi quoted by one commentator, “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.”

The past few weeks my message received the natural reaction described above. It has been a healthy exchange and indicates the consideration of a new viewpoint and activity. I expect that this type of response will continue as I propose fundamental changes, not only in our condition, which most of us want, but also in our value structure and the way we act, which most do not want.

Feminism, increased government intrusion into our private lives, and the emasculation of men are all symptoms of our value structure. Until there is a change in the unseen, the seen will continue to get worse.

I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Principles are absolute and complete; they do not contain shadings or degrees. Two and two always totals four, never almost four or roughly four. The acceleration of a falling body due to gravity is 32ft/sec/sec all of the time. A stationary body stays immovable unless a force is applied to it—Always.

In the Universal Principle of Gender there is no such condition of mostly feminine or mostly masculine. The principle at work is purely masculine or purely feminine ?? all of the time. Among humans the degree of pure principle used depends upon the mental and spiritual development of the individual.

Some illustrations of the principle of Gender at work and the resultant manifestation follow:

Masculine Assertive Feminine Receptive Manifestation

anode cathode electricity
sun moon light at night
north pole south pole magnetism
sperm ovum child
farmer earth fruits and vegetables
bull cow milk
force stillness movement
mind law order
goals work accomplishment

In all of the illustrations the acceptance, receptivity, and compliance of the feminine Gender are total and without equivocation. The moon has no choice in reflecting the light of the sun. The ovum has no choice as to which sperm impregnates it. The earth has no choice as to the plants it will grow.

The power of the masculine Gender is also total and unequivocal. The seeds were planted in the earth, the Sun shown on the moon, force was applied to the stationery object. There was no degree of application ?? just application.

The Gender principle is also at work within each person, and each person has access to all the attributes of both Genders. However, the nature of our bodies determines which attributes enable it to best function in harmony.

The body containing the receptive ovum, the nurturing breasts, and the smaller more delicate stature draws unto it the feminine Gender attributes. The body that is broad at the shoulders and more muscular, and that generates what will impregnate the ovum, will draw unto it the masculine Gender attributes. Even though each body has access to all the Gender attributes, those that assist and promote the harmony of the particular body will prevail. A Haitian woman said to me many years ago, “I have the body of a woman, I hope that I have the mind and psyche of one to go along with it.”

To say that the “only” difference between a man and a woman are the organs of sex is akin to saying that the “only” difference between a giraffe and a rabbit is the size of the neck. The difference in the neck size affects the thinking, psyche and activities of these animals. It affects where they eat, how they eat, how they defend themselves, and the color of their skin. Their entire lives are different because of the difference in the size of their necks.

The difference in neck size is not nearly as different as the difference in Gender attributes. As Emmanuel Cellar, former congressman from Brooklyn said many years ago, “There is less difference between a chestnut horse and a horse chestnut, than between a man and a woman.” Congressman Cellar was stating in colloquial terms the Universal Principle of Gender.

We have been taught that the amoeba, that one celled form of life, reproduces itself, a fact that seemingly negates the principle of Gender. At the time that I wrote my book 15 years-ago a notation in a magazine stated that scientists have “discovered” what appears to be Gender in the amoeba. Of course there is Gender in the production of the amoeba. Nothing is produced in our universe without the influence of Gender. It cannot be otherwise.

The masculine Gender wills and the feminine Gender produces. Nothing begins until the masculine Gender Wills it, and nothing is accomplished until the feminine Gender produces it. Working in harmony together through the medium of substance, they create and produce all that is. It can be called a trinity of accomplishment.

The “I” represents the masculine principle of gender. It contains the will that motivates the “ME”, which represents the feminine principle of gender and contains the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the self that require the direction of the “I” in order to produce and accomplish. Each person contains the “I” and “ME” components, but the “I” predominates in the male and the “ME” predominates in the female.

The “I” requires certain characteristics in order to enable it to fulfill its mission and the “ME” requires certain characteristics in order to enable it to fulfill its mission. The following listing of gender characteristics, are arranged alphabetically for convenience and do not in any way indicate which characteristics have the most importance.

Characteristics of the masculine gender are: abstract thinking, activeness, ambition, conditional love, constancy, contemplation, courage, creativity, daring, dependability, discipline, force, independence, individuality, knowledge, leadership, originality, pioneering spirit, positivity, progressiveness, spirituality, stability, and will-power.

Characteristics of the feminine gender are: accommodation, adaptability, caring, companionship, consideration, cooperation, diplomacy, friendliness, gentility, giving, harmony, industriousness, informative, materialism, nurturing, receptivity, responsiveness, rhythm, visual thinking, and unconditional love.

Everything produced comes from the feminine gender; however, what it produces must be in accord with the parameters of the masculine gender and these parameters are constant and encountered in all production whether in the construction of a space station or in the boiling of an egg. The building of a space station requires the taking into account of gravity, the rotation of the solar system, the movement of the solar system, and a host of other calculable factors. If even one of these factors changes the space station will fall out of orbit. In the boiling of an egg the water must boil at 212° every day; if the temperature at which water boils varies it will create chaos in the kitchen. Every occupation relies upon the constancy of the masculine principle. Fishermen preparing to go out at high tide expect high tide at a certain time, cowhands starting the day at sunrise expect that it will occur when it is supposed to, and the dancer expects the pull of gravity to be constant or he will constantly fall. Everything constructed or produced comes from the feminine gender but it must be in accord with the unseen but constant parameters of the masculine gender. The book of Malachi states, “I am the Lord unchanging”, which exemplifies the masculine principle.

Some people believe that these characteristics are available equally in men and women, but if that were possible, what would be the attraction between them? What motivation would there be to mate?

The gender characteristics that people possess provide the attraction of the opposite sex. Kenyan author David Maillu indicated that an African proverb states, “What a man does not possess is found in a woman and what a woman does not possess is found in a man.” Men and women possess the gender attributes that enable them to procreate the race; their characteristics supplement one another.

If we ignore gender characteristics, we will not mate, as is evidenced in the reduction of fertility rates that accompanies the adoption of the Western way of life throughout the world.

A STATEMENT OF GENDER

Gender exists throughout the universe and the universe could not exist without the influence of gender.

The masculine gender sets standards, whether moral, ethical, educational or societal. It also provides stability, constancy and discipline. The masculine gender pioneers new concepts and creates new products. These attributes of the masculine gender provide the secure environment that enables the feminine gender to nurture the race.

The production of things, the movement of life, the relationship of people, and the well being of society depends upon the principle of gender. In order for electricity to flow in a battery an anode and a cathode are required, and in all else there must be a positive and negative condition for energy to flow, things to grow, and life to move.

Hermes Trismegistus first enunciated the principle of gender at the beginning of the history of this age and examples of it abound in the Tao, Bible, Koran, and in astrological and numerological sciences.

The understanding of the principle of gender is instinctive, for it enables the nurturing and protection necessary to sustain all life. The nurturing process is a manifestation of the feminine gender and the protective process is a manifestation of the masculine gender.

When the unprecedented flowing forth of the creative WILL of the masculine gender invented and produced a plethora of goods and services the effect of which so changed our lives to a degree that we called it a revolution, human thinking regarding the primary roll of men became confused. It was thought that their primary roll was the production of goods and services; therefore men left the home to work long hours in factories, mines, and the wilderness. The administration of the home, and most tribal functions was left to women, creating an imbalance of gender the effects of which would deleteriously alter society.

As women were trained to perform the productive work that men had created a perception developed that there was no difference in performance between men and women in the workplace and in societal activities. Consequently society experienced the decrease of three of the major manifestation of the masculine gender: the creative WILL, the pioneering spirit, and governance.

The decrease of the creative WILL has resulted in a decrease in inventiveness, especially of a conceptual nature. The decrease in the pioneering spirit has resulted in a decrease in entrepreneurial activity, especially as it relates to NEW. The decrease in masculine governance has resulted in a reduction or elimination of standards of all sorts, and a bastardization of religious doctrine.

Crime, rape, adultery, fraud, unwed motherhood, venereal disease, substance abuse, incarcerations (the highest rate in the world), teenage murder, teenage pregnancies, and disrespect for authority have all increased. Narcissism has become the new pursuit, supplanting dedication to the family, tribe, and race. SELF has become the paramount concern, and government has become the vehicle for pampering the SELF. The infrastructure has deteriorated, academic performance has declined, and people have become apprehensive about what they perceive to be the unraveling of the fabric of society, but which is the decrease in the protection and consequently the nurturing of the race—a condition called chaos.

Chaos is the natural consequence of the diminution of the influence of the masculine gender in society—animal or human. The elimination of this chaos requires a reassertion of the natural role of the masculine gender.

A more balanced manifestation of gender will restore reasonable order to society and create a more wholesome relationship between men and women. It will elevate the family to its natural position of importance and will inculcate a sense of responsibility to the tribe as a primary vehicle of societal relationships.

In the past half-century we have seen a decided drop in the influence of masculine conceptual thinking, with the result that true inventiveness has been replaced by adaptations. Eventually, we will run out of new, and adaptations won’t save the economy. That will be one of the causes of the breakdown of Western society.

Concurrent with the decline in conceptual thinking has been a decline in morality of all sorts, for morality as all else is derived from the unseen. Honor, truth, integrity, reliability, constancy, and standards of all sorts emanate from the conceptual thinking of the masculine gender. The emasculation of the male has resulted in a deterioration of standards with the result that the government has intruded into every facet of our personal lives in order to prevent complete chaos; however, it is losing that battle.

There is a natural way to live and our creator established it. Humankind has essentially two options, to understand the nature of creation and live in harmony with it, or to not understand it and live in disharmony with it. To live in harmony produces health, contentment and spiritual growth. To live in disharmony produces sickness, discontent, and spiritual stagnation. Our society has chosen the latter and devotes an increasing amount of its energies and money in attempts to “fix” the sickness and discontent it has created.

The government is going broke in attempts to “fix” our physical and mental health. According to the AMA the average person over 65 takes six to eight prescription medicines. I think the average person today at any age is on medication, if not for physical reasons then mental reasons inasmuch as the major health issue in America is mental illness. Our prisons are bursting with more waiting to get in as we attempt to “fix” our crime problem. We already have the highest incarceration rate in the world. We are out of tune with the world and universe that we were designed to live in.

This out of tune stems from not adhering to the patriarchal structure that is natural to the universe. Instead of devoting our manhood to the care of the family and the tribe, we no longer have any manhood left to devote to anything. We have legislated away our inherent power and now we are impotent. Powerless. Frustrated. Angry.

The only way we can make change is to remove the coverings, barriers, and inhibitions that prevent us from conducting ourselves in a manly way. We can individually take action to free ourselves from our immediate suppression, but it will take a collective effort to bring about social change. But we have started. At least we now know that we are men. The next step is to realize our inherent power, and then do something with that power. The thing to do is to support this viewpoint and share it with anyone who will listen to you. You might be surprised at the number of people who will listen. You did.

Firstly let me state that I never investigated Joyanna or anyone else for that matter. The fact that I used a name other than Adams was absentmindedness. If it was her maiden name it was coincidence, or as Mike explained serendipity. For those who believe in it, the planet Mercury was retrograde at the time that I wrote the article and during that period I had a host of communications problems. In upgrading my version of AOL all of my records and downloads of the last four years were lost. I have had billing problems, postal service problems and the like.

In addressing this issue I recall an episode of Columbo in which Peter Falk tells the suspect that first he decides who had the motive, and then he investigates that person. What motive could I possibly have had to put Joyanna’s maiden name in my article? None. And I thank all of you for not taking the bait, and instead defending me. I did not read Joyanna’s article; I just looked over a few of the early comments. I don’t much care for gossip. I was informed of the big brouhaha the following day by E-mail and phone. It was a surprise to me when I checked my file copy to see that I had used the name Williams.

Again I thank you all and will refer further to your activity later in this article. However, there is one aspect of this incident that has not been addressed, and that is the motive for making a big scene. Apparently no one noticed that I had used the wrong name, or if there were a few who did, they probably accepted that it was an inconsequential error. It only became an issue when Joyanna pointed it out and all the subterfuge that she imagined that went along with it. My article contained my web site address, which also contained a phone number through which to reach me. Why didn’t she call me before she wrote her article and ask me how and why I got her maiden name? What was her motivation to take it public instead?

Now I will go further into the reason for writing Truth Part 2. In my article Truth I indicated that lies are established and then people take sides in the lie. You have just witnessed an actual representation of what I wrote about. A lie was established and then sides were taken in the lie—an all too common occurrence in our feminized society. The uncommon event that occurred here on MND was that almost all of you saw through it. You defended me in my absence and I am grateful to you. More importantly, you relied upon the unseen knowledge within you to guide your actions. You had no proofs or empirical data—unseen knowledge empowered your actions.

Your expression of the unseen continued the wave that started to rise a week ago in response to my article Pictures and Points. Many of you understood the point and expounded upon it with a clarity and conviction beyond what I could have done myself. This indicates an awakening of the manly power within you, a power that the enemy has tried to eradicate. Your creator gave your manliness to you at birth. People can suppress it, but they cannot remove it. You are awakening my brothers, or rather my sons. You are my sons and I am proud of you. I sit here with tears in my eyes as I realize all that you have done. The seeds that I have sewn have taken root within you and now of your own free will you are spreading the word. Also, the knowledge that it has awakened within you can never be taken away from you; it can only grow.

I had indicated that I would start to change the focus on my articles to action, but the events of the past week were beyond anything that I had anticipated. For those who can see the point and are not lost in the picture, the action that took place was overwhelming. It was an action of thought, knowledge, and power. You are learning to trust the power within, and that is the greatest power and greatest reality. You are on your way to unlimited accomplishment. Stay the course.

My articles will now go deeper. They will further reveal the power within you. Let your comments be evolvements of my message and expansions of the points I make. Help those who need more understanding. Ignore the naysayers. Don’t leave because of the recent scene making; do the opposite and bring your friends to MND and tell them there are voices of manhood speaking out and saying I AM A MAN.

As our society becomes more feminized, which in reality means becoming less masculine, truth gives way to lying. I can remember in the early stages of my business career even large orders were figured on the back of an envelope and given verbally. Then purchase order numbers became a requirement, then written purchase orders became necessary, and finally the purchase orders included pages of legalistic fine print. Men understand the spirit of the law, women believe in the letter of the law. (One is seen and the other is unseen). Since there is always someway to circumvent the letter of the law more lawyers and legalese are required to conduct business as women have increased their presence in the labor force.

Men used to do business on a handshake, the modern equivalent of let your yes be yes and your no be no. When’s the last time you heard a woman say yes and no? Children no longer receive training concerning right and wrong, instead they are taught legal and illegal. They no longer know a lie from the truth.

Since increasing numbers of our society are raised without knowledge of right and wrong, living with a lie has become increasingly acceptable. Four internationally known lies that we have accepted are: Roe versus Wade, The Gulf of Tonkien Resolution, Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the Duke rape case. All four of these situations were based on lies. The plaintiff in Roe versus Wade was never raped; nothing happened at the Gulf of Tonkien, no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, and the plaintiff in the Duke case was not raped. Nothing has been done about any of the perpetrators of these lies. Nothing.

As an aside, I will point out to women who read this article and who might have sons, know that the number of men in prison unjustly accused and convicted of rape numbers in the thousands, perhaps tens of thousands. The true rape occurs when they enter prison. Before you embrace feminist rhetoric and lies, think about what might happen to your sons, brothers and fathers.

We take sides on the four issues that evolved as a result of these lies, but we do not address the lie at all. The destruction in human life that the first three lies created has been enormous. The emotional effect on those accused of rape at Duke was devastating, and had it not been that their parents had money they would have become penal institution statistics and forgotten by the general public.

As you might be surmising by now this article is written to further address the response to my article Pictures and Points made by a separate article written by Joyanna Williams. In comments made to my original article Joyanna indicated that Hedy Lamarr had made a superb invention in communications that affects the entire telecommunications industry to this day. I mentioned to her that a friend told me our telecommunications industry is based on many inventions developed by and stolen from Nicola Tesla. I showed no animosity towards her and my words were, “I trust you to do the research.”

And what was her response? She writes a separate article and headlines it “Hedy Lamarr: Silly Bimbo? Or Inventor? Nobody Answers Elder George.” What she meant was Look at me, that is, ME, It’s ME Joyanna and I want everybody at MND to see that my sword is drawn and I’m going to offer Elder George’s head on a plate. Watch ME.

Her article provided another forum for my ideas and I am elated at the response. I am somewhat amused as well, for that 500 word article was written in haste to meet a newspaper deadline four years ago.

Getting back to Joyanna’s article, it had no proof of her contention at all. She did however prove my article in that she didn’t get the point. I have no axe to grind with Joyanna. One of the readers sent me an E-mail that stated, “Genetics probably prevents Joyanna from getting the point, but what excuse do the men have?” I will refer to the male response later, but first a few material considerations for Joyanna’s understanding.

A few years ago I called the U.S. patent Office and asked what percentage of patents are given to women. The response was that there are no gender statistics on patents. That might seem strange inasmuch as, the government can give a gender breakdown on most everything else. But most patents come from men and the feminist dominated government does not care to provide that statistic. I pressed the contact I had to make an estimate and he indicated that maybe 5% of the patents go to women. Shortly after that I obtained a copy of all the patents granted in New York State the preceding year and went through it name by name. After deducting the John and Mary Smith joint patents from the list, I arrived at a figure of about 5%. My contact’s estimate was a good one. Now how many of these patents were conceptual in nature? Probably none. In my article the term I used was conceptual inventions, not patents. Women are adaptable and they make adaptations to the world men created for them. (That’s another point.) Hence they get patents for the Barbie Doll, disposal diaper, and White Out.

So desperate are feminist influenced women to prove that they can do what men can do that they will grab at any straw just as Joyanna did. When asked to prove women’s competence in science the name always brought up is that of Marie Currie. Even if Marie Currie did everything on her own without any direction or help from her husband, what does it prove about the likely hood of women succeeding in science? Marie Curie is not of this century or the last. She was born two centuries ago. Since her birth about 10 billion people have been born, half of them women. For those who have studied statistics, when something happens once every 5 billion times it is not even considered a possibility that it will happen again. The event is considered to be an aberration. Babe Didrickson Zaharias was also an aberration. Men recognized the performance of these two women without any feminist or governmental prodding. Men always recognize performance. But when the likelihood of one woman in 5 billion becoming a great scientist is compared with the fact that 4.9 billion of the women became mothers, it does not take deep thinking as to what to train the women for. The aberrations somehow rise to the top on their own.

Google will contain commentary that Hedy Lamarr was a great electrical engineer and inventor. She was not an electrical engineer nor was she an engineer. She studied acting in school. Nor was she an inventor, even though her name is on the patent. That information is a much a lie as Roe versus Wade.

Joyanna, I am asking you for the third time, name me a woman who made a conceptual invention on her own. I’m not saying you will never find one, but you will have to search long and hard, and its frequency of occurrence will fall into the category of aberration and will prove my point.

Now for some male logic on Hedy Lamarr’s invention. Firstly, Hedy’s major contribution to the cinema was that she was the first woman to be completely nude in a film and the first one to act through having an orgasm. Her husband was so embarrassed by these pictures that he attempted to by up every one of the films. She did not study engineering nor was she a tinkerer. When she ran away from her first husband and came to America she continued her acting career. Supposedly one night in working with a composer she got the idea for an invention. Now if this was a great invention that would affect the telecommunications industry of the world, is it reasonable to conclude that after that she went on with her acting career? That would be the equivalent of a man writing a great concerto and then going into the floor waxing business for the rest of his life.

We were also at war with the Axis powers at the time, wouldn’t our government have pressed this inventive genius into service for the war effort? Also, wouldn’t this great mind have produced great or intelligent acting? Hedy was a sex symbol. She never received any nominations and after Word War II her career ebbed. Wouldn’t she then have decided to further her great inventive genius? She didn’t because it wasn’t there.
The whole Hedy Lamarr inventive genius is a lie just as Roe versus Wade and the Duke rape case were lies. Just because the lie is repeated internationally doesn’t make it any less a lie.

Men deal primarily in the unseen and women deal primarily in the seen; that is our partnership in propagating and preserving the species. Conceptual inventions come from the unseen. Standards and principles are unseen as well. I have never stated in articles, in lectures, or in my book any feminine characteristic as a negative, but I do challenge those who say that women are the same as men. We have forgotten our purpose in being and have perverted the natural relationship of men to women.

Do you get the point?

P.S. This article contains many points.

However, on matters such as the education of our children and the health and safety of our families we tend to remain passive. For example, how have we responded to the ban on religious displays and on prayer in schools? As a God fearing people, why do we tolerate this? A ban exists on single sex education for men, on the filing of “head of household” tax returns for married men, on men having authority over their families, and on men’s clubs. These conditions attack the very basis of human and universal existence. Family and spiritual growth are the reason that we are here. If family and the worship of God are taken from us, what do we have left? Yet we do nothing.

We do nothing because we have already been conditioned to rely upon the government to make change. We have forfeited our manhood to the State. We no longer live the lives that God ordained us to live. We have become passive production workers; jackasses and she-asses on the treadmill of production. Whatever the State decides to teach our children we accept. We also accept the propaganda that the government feeds to our women. We consider ourselves to be good husbands by going to work and earning enough money to support our families-a thoroughly Westernized way of life not intended for man to live. Man is here to promote the spiritual well being of society, and teach the family and the tribe morals and ethics. The State not only cannot do these things, it does not want us to do these things.

The question that then arises is, “What can we do?” a frequently asked question that is sometimes asked passively, sometimes aggressively, and sometimes curiously, that usually pertains to a condition needing change.

In the case of the education of our children the first thing that we can do is find out just what kind of an education they are receiving. We all tend to have a certain level of trust in the school system and in the behavior of our own children, so when the average father leaves for work in the morning after giving his wife a kiss and patting his children on the head, he goes to work confident that he is doing his job and that all is well with the family. This confidence may not be warranted.

In a May 2002 issue of US NEWS and World Report, the cover story was dedicated to teenage sex. I was shocked to learn that there are14 year old teenage virgins who are well experienced in oral and anal sex. I probably would not have been shocked had I known that sex education classes given to 4th and 6th graders teach the safest ways to have oral sex. They are also being taught alternate sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality. Are your children being taught similar subjects? Do you know for sure?

The next thing to do is to meet with all your children and ask them if they have sex education classes and if so, what these classes cover. Ask to see their textbooks and read them. If what you find is shocking, disturbing, or objectionable, there are further steps that you can take. You can set up an appointment to meet with the teacher. Before that, you might want to speak to the parents of your children’s classmates to see if they are aware of the situation, how they feel about it, and if they want to join you in a visit with their teacher or the school principal or the school board.

The above paragraph describes actions that once would have produced results; these same actions taken today would probably result in being ignored and/or laughed out of the school. When Mayor Bloomberg had city workers distribute 2.6 million condoms to New York City schoolchildren the protests of Cardinal Evans were all but ignored.

Activity necessary to cause effective change must be done on what I call a secular level; people of all faiths, ethnicities, and races working together to overcome the effects of the neo-pagans who attack the very foundation of human existence. There is no organization with teeth in it that expresses you interests. None.

Men’s Action was designed to be the vehicle to bring about the change we all want, but it requires active participation and support. Are you ready to become that active supportive person? Or are you content to have your children learn how to have safe oral sex?

Instead of addressing the point the comments came from those stuck in the picture, and from those who tried to change their picture, which created friction and animosity and accomplished nothing.

My objective is to offer a viewpoint and clarify it as best I can to those who express interest. Some people have readily grasped the message and some have come aboard slowly as was evidenced by comments such as, “I thought you were on crack but I get the message now” or “Are you an idiot or a genius, either way you hold my interest.” I appreciate their willingness to consider the other side. To those whose minds are already made up, which comprise the majority and we will see why, I wish you the best. I have no desire to evangelize at this time, merely to spread the seed and hope that it will take root. To those in which it has taken root, you will be doing the evangelizing at the appropriate time, but for the moment, look for others who are likeminded.

MND represents the middle class, educated, white, and materialistic thinking that spawned capitalism and socialism, and the resultant feminism. We have created the mess we are in, and which we bemoan, but nevertheless cling to the thinking responsible for that creation. This is not a conservative blog site; at least half of the commentary is liberal. Many who call themselves conservative espouse the liberal ideology expressed at the International conference of Women in Beijing, which called for a genderless society.

It is natural to resist change to what one has become comfortable with, and Western society has become extremely satisfied with its thinking. Actually, it cannot imagine that there is another way to think, and has from the time of the ancient Greeks attempted to snuff out contrary thinking. This is why Western society is unable to make any positive changes to the present negative societal conditions. Out thinking created it, and since we cannot change our thinking, the conditions will not go away but only exacerbate.

Which brings us to the point of where the change will come from. It will come from those relatively few within our culture that will join with others who come from extended family cultures; collectively they will bring about change. I get great support for my message from people who come from the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. There’s an occasionally feminist or weak-kneed milksop in the pack, but they are the minority.

To those who understand and want to propagate my message, speak to your brothers, nephews, sons, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. There are literally tens of millions of people craving for words of support for the family. Please continue to help clarify the concepts contained in my blogs, you have the youthful energy to do it better than I can; however, don’t antagonize others who make comments. You can tell the difference between those who want to learn and those who can’t or won’t. Move onto those who are interested—that’s taking a step to make change.

There are metaphysical truths contained in the difference between pictures and points. Points remain while pictures pass. The unseen world will remain long after what is seen passes. Pictures emanate from points, what is seen emanates from that which is unseen. All great religious texts are written in such a way that the truth is offered in both a seen and unseen manner. “Whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”, is a picture representation of the unseen universal law of cause and effect. Women think in pictures, men think in pictures and points, which enables men to write the great truths both ways.

Because women think in pictures there are no points to their stories. I have never heard the trainers at any of my story telling training sessions ask, “What is the point?” Stories without points are descriptions of sensation. That is what women talk about, their sensational responses. Men understand this trait of women and accommodate them where possible, however; there are times when men want to discuss the point and can’t because of the presence and involvement of women. That was the reason Paul in his letter to Timothy stated that women should not speak in church, and if there was anything they did not understand they should ask their husbands when they got home. Spirituality deals with the unseen. Men understand the unseen and can converse about it. Women cannot; they are equipped to nurture the race, which is a seen activity.

Getting back to story telling and the request for more physical detail by the trainers-which means they want to see more of a picture-is indicative of all social, academic, and professional intercourse in the Western culture. To accommodate by law the picture people, the point is not addressed. Consequently we deal only with effects (the seen) and not the causes (the unseen). It’s time to address the point and not be lost in the picture.
