HEART AND LUNGS, LIFE AND ENERGY

Imagine, if you will, a woman. Let’s look inside of her. Not the way a doctor might see her, but someone with more intuitive vision. In the center of her chest is a very unique organ. It looks like a disk about the size of a salad plate, up to two inches thick, and it fills her chest. When it is healthy, the color is a vibrant red or magenta or red-orange, and the surface is soft and even bubbly. Like the lungs, it pulls life and energy in from the environment. Specifically from nature, from the joy of loved ones, from beauty. Like the heart, it is connected to every part of her body through a complex circulatory system. As life and energy are pulled into it, life and energy travel to every extremity.
This organ is called “her feelings” and it is the core of her being.

When a woman is delighted or happy, this organ fills with life and energy, expanding and expanding. The life and energy move from her chest to her lungs, and she may breathe more heavily or deeply. From there, the life and energy move to her throat, and she may laugh or giggle or sing. Continuing upward, her mouth turns into a smile, her skin glows and her eyes sparkle. The life and energy flow through her smile and skin and eyes to the people around her and they are uplifted. When the life and energy reach her brain, they fill her head with hopeful, loving, magnanimous, creative thoughts. And as they reach her arms and legs, hands and feet, her step becomes lighter and she may even dance.

This is when she is her most powerful, and paradoxically, her most vulnerable. Bask in her beauty and light and treat her with care.

PAIN AND BLACKNESS, SILENCE AND IMMOBILITY

Imagine now that something happens which “hurts her feelings.” Intentional act or mere oversight, when a woman’s feelings are hurt, the process works in reverse. The rate at which this occurs depends on how harsh or shocking was the hurtful act or comment. It may take three to thirty minutes for the process to be complete.
Within a few seconds the organ has constricted, changing color to black or dark gray and becoming hard and tight like a rock or fist. Vibrant and pulsing a moment before, it lies lifeless. The woman might gasp as she feels the core of her being shrink and harden. Then this new death travels the pathways that life and energy flowed through just moments before.

Being closest to her lungs, breathing will be the first to go. She will feel as if she can’t breathe and her actual breaths will become shallow. Next is the throat. She will be able to speak for only a few moments longer and then the death-feeling will shut down all energy to her throat. The “silent treatment” that others dread is not voluntary. She cannot speak. Her eyes will suddenly become sensitive to light, and especially to people. She’ll have to avoid all eye contact, for it hurts them. After a few more minutes the life and energy is gone from her arms and legs. If she can’t cocoon, she’ll move slowly. If she can, she’ll find a safe place, curl up and become immobile. As time passes, her body feels heavier and heavier, like dirt is being piled on top of her.

In her experience, she has been completely shut down. Then the real mischief begins.

For one small, crucial part of her brain has a back up generator, which turns on as the rest herself shuts off. And it has access to a specific set of files. Let’s call it “the Rage Machine.” While she lies breathless, speechless, blind and immobile, the Rage Machine dips into all the records of irritations, annoyances, pet peeves, and any unresolved injuries. With only these to work with, the Rage Machine starts churning out speeches. Its fantasy is all-out verbal warfare. It plots revenge.

As time goes on, the Rage Machine will gather momentum. Physical proximity to the person who her hurt her feelings fuels the Rage Machine, giving it energy. Though lying buried under dirt, mute and blind, the woman may try to move to a distance from the source of the hurt, understanding intuitively that this might quiet the beast in her head. She may move to another room or out of the house altogether.

On the surface, the Rage Machine may take over the woman’s facial muscles, making her look angry or upset. But underneath its rantings, a small voice in her head is pleading for help, hoping the person who buried her might come dig her out. For he or she is the only one who can.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Now let’s look from the point of view of the man. Why a man? Because women are more vulnerable to the men they love than anyone else on Earth. And because feelings are different for men. Or so they have told me. Men’s feelings, while just as deep and significant, don’t have the circulatory system women have. Scientists tell us that men don’t have as many connections in their brains from the feeling centers and language centers. This is good, by the way. Different but valuable for many purposes.

So, having a different relationship to feelings in general, the man does not realize that he has just hurt the woman. Whatever he did or said was not intended to be hurtful. Healthy men (which most are) never intend to hurt women. And that same remark or action would probably not have hurt him. He has no idea that her feelings are the organ at the core of her being from which all life and energy flow. No one has ever explained that to him.

After a prolonged silence, he starts to worry that she may be mad at him. He hopes this isn’t true. If he loves her, then her being mad at him is the worst thing that can happen. He is hoping, and maybe praying, that she’s upset at something else, but please, not at him. As one man expressed it, “I’d pay a million, billion, gazillion dollars for her not to be mad at me.” For a being designed to pursue success in every area, this is the worst failure. She is the sun and the moon and both have suddenly deserted his life. And he doesn’t know why.

If she does something that clearly indicates that the anger is directed at him, then hope will die, he’ll know he failed, and there is nothing to do now but fix it. If he has been able to fix it in the past, he’ll quickly respond. If he has never been able to fix it, then he’s really sunk.

Until the woman does something that overtly communicates anger, like going to sleep in the other room or stomping out of the house, he’ll keep hoping that it isn’t him. This is how the woman can be left buried under the dirt in darkness and silence for hours. He doesn’t mean to be cruel. He doesn’t know that she’s drowning and that he’s the only lifeguard.

“I’M SORRY I HURT YOU” RAISES THE DEAD

When he does go her, he’ll want to confront the anger head-on. Because he thinks it is real. He doesn’t know that it is the Rage Machine’s default program of miscellaneous junk that really didn’t bother her that much at the time. If he engages the Rage Machine by being angry himself – perhaps because it seems unfair to him that she is angry – then he’s likely to hear all the trash that has been being gathered and rehearsed. A smart man will treat it like the garbage disposal backing up. An informed man could avoid it altogether.

Beneath the anger is the hurt that shut down the whole system and enabled the Rage Machine to take over. If he says, “I’m sorry” – and means it – life will suddenly flow back into her chest and make its way to the rest of her body. It will take a while to reach all the different parts, so he should be patient. But as soon as he says, “I’m sorry”, with true kindness and remorse.

In the animal kingdom, firefly species use a special pattern of flashing to signal to potential mates.  This happens during mating season.  There’s another species of firefly that appears to be a remarkably successful seducer.  By copying the unique blinking pattern they attract other fireflies. However, this second species goal is not to mate, but to attack and eat them for dinner. 

How do you know if you are falling into love’s embrace or if you are an unsuspecting victim of persuasion?

In the dating dance when you mimic the other person by using exactly the same words phrases, you are generally more liked, but actually receive more green light signals from your prospective mate.  This strategy increases rapport and there is higher likelihood you will “get lucky,” get a phone number, or get a second date.

Following and repeating patterns of speech and movement is an effective persuasive tool.  It may increase a sense of closeness and understanding with another person. After giving someone your phone number, if they repeat it back to you in a way that’s different to how you remember it sounds it breaks rapport. Unexpectedly your phone number doesn’t sound right and you probably take a second (disapproving) look at that person.

When meeting people for the first time, you can develop good relationships in a quicker time by repeating back selectively the same words that they use. It does not matter if it is in dating, sales, business, or family functions.  Communication that follows patterns of words and phrases that are repeated creates closeness.
As a result, your date may be persuaded to go home with you or will be anxiously waiting for your next phone call or text message.

share with you the BEST ways I have ever seen
to keep a woman focused on you.

***QUESTION***

To Sherrie,

I’m considering investing in your program, but I
have a question for you before I do. Essentially,
I’m no longer looking to hook up with women left
and right. In fact, I think I’ve met “the one,”
but I’m having trouble making her realize this.
I get the sense that she’s very guarded about
making it a serious relationship.

She’s *very* goal oriented (which I recognize really
turns ME ON about her), and therefore very busy. It
seems she does not have time for me and has little
attention on me.

Will The Man Class help me? http://herlovebucket.com/4daysale/

>>>THE LOVE LINGUIST COMMENTS:

   Right now you are playing what is referred to
as a “losing game”. You have to put the attraction
mechanism in place (didn’t you learn this from the
genius David D.?)

The stakes are just a little higher when you’ve got
your Total 10 woman and want to keep her.

   Part of creating attraction is creating OPEN LOOPS.
Unfinished experiences. Unanswered questions. Give
her something wonder about. Create your own
“cliff hanger” so she must have the next episode of
what you are offering. This is the first tip.

It seems to me you are a bit boring – but you
don’t have to be.

   What happens is must guy start to act “too nice” and
–Pursue -Cling  -Act submissive -Seek approval
- Agree when you don’t want to…

- And turn in a big wuss.

DON’T. This is the second tip.

     It’s distinctly FEMININE in nature. And boring.

   You need to step up the highest position in the
relationship and become THE CHAIRMAN. It is the
benevolent power position. This is a MASCULINE
position. This is the alpha-male position or what
I often call being a MASTERMAN. This is the third tip.
The Chairman who is a Masterman is respected.
The Chairman creates arousal.

   She will probably HOLD BACK until you step up
to your position of power. I’m sure she
WISHES that she could be attracted to you and put
her attention on you. I’ll bet you money – hey,
I actually do with the guarantee I have for my class.

    You need a new perspective on this entire
situation. And you need a new perspective on a
woman’s desire.

   You’re obviously a smart guy, and if you’re asking
the question, you’re ready for change.

   Total transformation.

   And the best part is that you won’t be changing
how you act and just “faking it” or manipulating.
You’ll change how you act because you GET IT.
You’ll GET HER. This is the fourth tip.

YOU’LL FILL HER LOVE BUCKET!!! So learn how to fill
her love bucket with her 7 Rings of Desire. Get it:

http://herlovebucket.com/4daysale/

   It’s really fantastic to HELP a woman focus her
attention on you, your life, and your wants. She
REALLY WANTS you to make her spin her head towards you,
and only you.

This program will DRAMATICALLY increase your success
with your special “Total 10″ lady… I absolutely
guarantee it 100%.

If you’d like to take your success with women
and her happiness to the next level, and as a result
get more of what you want starting with S *X then
go register now for the Accelerator Class.

to all of the following: You understand that this is

simply a set of opinions (and not advice). This is

to be used for entertainment, and not considered

as “professional advice”. You are responsible for

any use of the information in this email, and hold

Sherrie Rose and all members and affiliates harmless

————————————————–

1. Don’t confuse experience… with wisdom.

Took me a while to nail this concept.

Experience does NOT automatically translate to wisdom.

You nearly always need experience before you attain wisdom, yes.  But it’s not a guarantee.

In fact, over my career, I’ve always spent the first minutes of any consultation diving into the experience-wisdom correlation with new clients.

Their ego screams “wisdom”.  But their actual savvy whispers “hasn’t learned shit in all those years”.

The smart ones remember why they went looking for a consultation in the first place, and we can get moving on solutions and fixes.

The dumb ones fight it.

3. Do not confuse ego… with self-awareness.

Ego is bullshit.  At most, it’s a sense of being in the game, and keeping score (often in ways that no one else cares about).

Self-awareness must be earned.

And while most modern people can’t entirely murder their ego… they can at least overwhelm it with self-awareness.  So when it flares up, or gets bruised, or starts interfering…

… you can just say “oh, hell, my ego’s involved in this” and get over it.

Do you set goals?  If you set goals to satisfy your ego, your life will be miserly and grim.

The really good goals in life are always larger than “you”.

Don’t get confused about who’s running the show.

4. Don’t confuse expertise… with fast-talking charm.

This problem — confusing charm with real expertise in what you need — is like a weed or rat problem in the entrepreneurial world.

People who can talk the talk… but can’t walk the walk… are causing some serious financial damage out there.

It has ever been thus… until you get hip to how things really get done.

When money is on the line… especially your money (connected to the success or failure of your biz)…

… screw charm.

Some (actually, maybe most) of the best marketing and business minds I’ve ever met…

… are charm-challenged, grizzled, anti-social quasi-nut jobs.

You don’t have to like the dude who rescues your ass.

You just gotta learn to tell the difference between him, and the dazzling scumball out to gut your wallet.

Let your trust be earned.

(Love Linguist comment: Women often fall for the charm and if it’s not backed up by solid integrity she’ll soon be gone)

5. Don’t confuse cocking teasing women… with righteously angry ladies who have a legitimate complaint.

You blackball the first.

But you embrace the second.  As tough as it can be to hear someone point out the flaws, foibles and blunders in your life…

… you cannot grow without that kind of reality check.

Getting good advice, insight and direction is almost never pretty.

(Love Linguist comment: Get the wisdom, self-awareness, expertise, and reality check that only THE LOVE LINGUIST can offer you. Here’s my blatant pitch… My advice is not just good, it is GREAT. Get THE MAN CLASS http://the-man-class.com and learn about how to fill a woman’s LOVE BUCKET. Become a MASTERMAN Today!)
