The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire (20th Anniversary Edition)

Product Information

Masculine energy is direct, unwavering and spacious. Feminine energy is flowing, chaotic and expansive. Masculine energy is the container, feminine energy is what fills that container. Masculine energy is the banks of a river, feminine energy is the river itself — and so on. So, the next time you notice yourself “giving in” to your woman and denying your true purpose to spend time with her, Deida advises that you should stop.

We can realize that working on our own feminine energy is just as useful as working on our ability to embrace it in others. The Superior Man knows his priorities and pursues his purpose. In this section, you’ll learn the difference in priority between feminine and masculine, why you need a purpose and how to find it, and why you should prioritize it. Seek Release, Let Her Seek Fullnesshours ago Five Freedoms After Leaving a Toxic Relationship or Situation These are all too common thoughts of people in narcissist relationships and toxic families or jobs. On the surface, we could argue that he’s doing this for the sake of simplicity, but over-simplification is the problem. We need more complexity, not less. Engaging halfheartedly leads to conflict and dissatisfaction—we feel incomplete when we settle for “enough” rather than pushing for the limit of what we can achieve. A man who is not embracing his masculine energy (i.e., who spends a lot of time combing his hair and/or buying clothes) opens a vacuum for this kind of energy that must be filled by the woman who, in turn, is thus stimulated to act more manly.

David dwells on many topics that trouble the everyday man, along the lines of: what’s true purpose in life, what do women want and expect in a man, how can I become a better version of who I am, and what does it take to take a next step in my professional life as well. On top of that, he also expands on how to achieve sexual maturity and truly go beyond the stereotypical macho jerk type.Both literally and metaphorically. A man must love his father, but he must never allow to live in his shadow. That’s why, in strictly Freudian manner, it is essential to kill your father. Also, if you’d like to do any one on one work with me all links are below, as is a link to my book From Lost Boy To Awakened Man. Masculine vs Feminine. Nature vs Grace. And we must choose based on what we are taught or left to figure out. In an effort to land in a neutral middle, men diminish their masculinity, and women diminish their femininity. We feel uneasy about who we are and how we should be, so we’re driven by discomfort and fear. When we suppress a core aspect of ourselves, we become unable to be genuine and open, so we can’t relax into the fullness of love. Neutralizing our essence diminishes our intimacy, our sense of purpose, and our ability to connect with our internal selves. That’s because underneath our know-it-all exterior, men actually don’t have a clue and we’re desperate for answers. We’ll do just about anything for approval from women, and deep inside our egos all want to be seen as the “superior man” — but superior to whom? Other men? Are we really playing into the same kind of unhealthy win-lose competition model that is already the cause of so many of our mental health problems?

Yet, in our modern world where men are uninitiated, ungrounded and heavily feminised, it is more common for men to get lost in emotionality, feelings and ego identifications, meaning such a man either tends to be too weak, obsessive or aggressive to harmonise with the feminine and henceforth has a slew of broken, unsatisfying relationships.
