When I read your words, it strikes me that your thinking seems BIG. You’re out there to really foster MASSIVE change, aren’t you? You will need support then. Allies. Tell me how I can help. It’s too early for me to say I understand fully what you’re about, but I like the gist of it that I’m getting here.

The Warrior workshop was a 3-hour mini workshop where I gave a rough introduction to the archetypal framework explaining the archetypal tripartite configuration (bipolar shadow -> synthesis) and the three knights (red, white, black). We then did some meditation and discussion before we ended with experiential exercises where participants got to choose if they wanted to work on getting ahead in life or defending boundaries.

It was powerful and the participants loved it.

Loved this sentence: “I am a natural health consultant, working on helping people heal chronic
illnesses, rejuvenate and to become a super sex machines in the face of
estrogenic toxic chemicals and declining testosterone, sperm counts and
penis sizes across many species.”

These three areas relate strategically through a moral and political framework that grows out of the gender analysis. In the USA we have a distinction between the conservatives as the daddy party and liberals as the mommy party. George Lakoff distinguishes between the strict father and nurturing parent model of politics. Spiral dynamics is not strong on gender analysis but strong on other things. I have been playing with ways to synthesize these theories to reconfigure politics with insights from mens movement that would help progressive capture the center and the conservatives driven out of the Republican party by the facists. The strategy would tap into where people are at with their urgent needs and connections between issues: economics, health, finding love, solving the gender identity crisis.

Hi Eivind, It’s great to hear from you. Your writing was very powerful. I would like to know more about your warrior workshop.. I have been working on three fronts:

Economics: a new model of the firm sustainable world class business, with a more positive strategy for green business focused on what customers want: to improve their health. The toxic crisis is arleady here with modern epidemics of diseases driven by toxicity and poor food systems. Climate change is distant to many.

Health: I am a natural health consultant, working on helping people heal chronic illnesses, rejuvenate and to become a super sex machines in the face of estrogenic toxic chemicals and declining testosterone, sperm counts and penis sizes across many species.

Gender: I have not yet written in public putting together all the theories and practices: Warren Farrell, Howard S. Schwartz, Rion Williams Natural Grounding videos, and Authentic Man Program, along with Deida, of course. The deepest analysis of feminization of society is the Revolt of the Primitive by Howard Schwartz, but you have to separate out the insight from conservative bias. Natural Grounding to videos of truly feminine women changes your energy immediately and people notice. Women have hardly any role models from the corporate media here and men do not know how it is supposed to be, but these videos are a powerful therapy and guide–not to be underestimated.

Agreed, Paul. There is some synchronicity in your message appearing here today. As you can see, there are not many comments on this piece and here you are – just one day after I used it as a theme in a mini-workshop on the Warrior archetype. Feeling that this is hardly a coincidence, I’m psyched to have you here and feel a fire in my belly as I write.

What part do you intend to have in this coming war against the enemies of a truly humane human future? And what has and has not been working for you in this battle so far? I’m gearing up myself and need allies and courage.

There is a big need for strategic thinking as if we are in a war. Right now people in opposition to the new world order are often highly specialized and uninterested in linking issues and thinking about how to move people and win the class war that has been imposed on us. I have attempted to do that with less positive responses than we will need to have a coherent strategy.

I take that back. You can start that process right now. No need to wait. You have your voice on the Web. Use it. I stand with you, Bjarte!

That is really good to know, Bjarte. You know what that means don’t you? You need to take a role of active leadership when you come back from China.
