		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, Eivind, I do think we share a wonderful moment on this planet.  I believe all people have that magnificent potential within:)  It is very exciting to blossom into your true essence.   It is equally exciting to see others recognize just how wonderful, and amazing their true self really is.  Keep up the good work my friend! Blessings, Kathleen&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I do all those things for sure. And yeah - my impression is that my readers and contributors do the same. Many good men are part of this community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yet - the road to maturity is long. But I thank you for your good words and recognition of the hardship entailed in finding my own answers. I know it is only because you have and still do travel that path yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I appreciate your support, Kathleen! We share a moment on this planet with magnificent potential. It is exciting. Don&#039;t you find?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi  Eivind,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me explain to you what I think a wimp is;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To me, a DD3 Goddess;) a wimp is a man who never learned to think for himself.  He is still controlled by all those around him.  A wimp is a man who will not search out truth on his own, with his own energy.  He will just accept what others tell him, even when he gets that gut feeling that it is not true or right for him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A warrior owns his own truth.  Even when he doesn&#039;t understand something, he admits it to himself, and then will take the time to educate himself.  He is not a man others cannot talk with and get there own interpretation out. He will be polite and listen, to an extent, and if he does not agree with what they are presenting, he will allow them their truth, but stay true to his own.  A warrior also is not a coward as far as saying, &quot;You know what? I have learned more about &quot;whatever&quot; and now I have changed my mind. Just because something was a truth yesterday, does not mean it will be a truth today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A warrior seeks knowledge. He is not afraid to be sad, hurt, or confused. He knows these are natural human emotions.  He does not however give up. He might need some quiet time to lick his wounds and heal, but then he will get up on his feet and seek knowledge to find out what went wrong and how he can live that situation better the next time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So as far as I am concerned, you are not a wimp Eivind. You are a man seeking knowledge. Just like the other men on this site.  You didn&#039;t give up.  You keep searching for your freedom from this perplexity.  You all have my respect for what you are working at with this site. Thanks Gentlemen, Kathleen&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Sandra,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What categories would you like to see added to David Deida&#039;s system?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It seems movies and all events  have something to teach,  to those who will learn.&quot; True. But a lot of this has a tendency of remaining head knowledge until we really challenge ourselves to live it in the flesh and blood.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;This &quot;They are afraid if they let go of how much male energy they are bringing in, they will become weak.&quot; speaks to me. I&#039;m not surprised. Though I can relate as well. I know how fearful I am at times of being &quot;feminine&quot;, to the point that I became less mature/masculine in my attempt to be the shit. I think we are generally afraid of animating feminine values and ways of being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love the energy in what you write, though I&#039;m in the process of now embracing my inner wimp. :-)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;really enjoy your thoughts on the journey, you have added a lot of new thoughts to movies I have seen.  As far as DD1, DD2, and DD3, personally I think that is too few categories.  Am looking forward to any new developments.   There are many movies that have come into my mind that you have not reviewed.  It seems movies and all events  have something to teach,  to those who will learn.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;As a woman who is in what Deida would call DD3 stage, may I just applaud you for this site!  I started laughing when I saw some of the photos you have put up of movie heroes. I have chosen some of the exact same ones for my site.  I am a woman, a Goddess, if you will, who is doing her best to help women and men connect to that deep energy, that wonderful primal sense of who we really are.  Believe it or not, I have the toughest time getting through to women!  They are afraid if they let go of how much male energy they are bringing in, they will become weak. AAAuuugghhh!!!  I do my best to help them to understand if they would just tap into really being female, they would pull up so much more power.  Granted, we all have some of male and female within, but really connecting to you source of femininity for a female, or masculinity for a male is amazingly powerful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, as far as you helping men be more MEN, Thank you!!!!  I am so sick of wimpy men!  Women like me want REAL MEN!  In my heart, I feel each man has this energy deep within.  When a man does not experience his warrior energy, he may become depressed, overeat, become a bully or become a weak, wimpy man. Yuck! So thank you, thank you for what you are writing! If you ever want to know what a Goddess thinks...ask me:) ~~***Kathleen&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Woo - that&#039;s a hard one, Claudia. I can&#039;t think of any right now to be honest (although I remember having been asked the question before). But when I do, it would be a good candidate for the site, no?

Thanks for tuning in to tell me that you liked what you read. It feels more meaningful that way.</description>

		<description>Hello, 
thanks for this nice post, as a 46 y.o. female I relate to it a lot. No suggestions about existing  movies on the third stage? :)</description>
