Status Updates From Calea barbatului superior

A man who operates from external validation especially of his lover is not a superior man who moves with love from his true being.

There’s some reasonable, if not exactly groundbreaking, advice here about how to interact with a person experiencing anxiety, but it’s threaded through a weird misogynist paradigm that says women are inherently unreasonable and men are necessarily smart and logical which is… an icky framing.

Being a man means to associate with other men who will acknowledge your fears rather than enable you into never challenging them. For example, if you wish to cheat on your lover, then your friend will either tell you to think of the consequences and if you’re comfortable with it to do it, or simply dead the idea and stop wasting your energy fantasizing about it and put that same energy towards your lover.

Handful of messages i’ve memorized were to engage the world and your mission in the same passion as you would with your woman, never allow a woman to make decisions for you, and never dedicate hours more to your woman that towards you purpose. A woman would be pleased with at least 30 mins of your undivided attention, and will trust you for giving her the space to witness you grow from your core.

My grandmother got me this book for Xmas because she knows how much I enjoy bad Christian content. Surprisingly, it turns out this is not a Christian book but is more New Age-y. It’s still ridiculous in a very satisfying way. Just an example: one of the first pages in this “spiritual guide” is a warning that neither the author nor publisher are offering spiritual advice. 😐
