The Truth of Men and Women
Understanding, Acknowledgement, and Acceptance

by Ogunwale A. Omo AsiPade

Except for the Grand Canyon and the male sex drive, nothing remains the same anymore. The patriarchal practice of the male/female relationship is dead.

For some men, this is the toughest part of the Harmonic Concordance. Everything else about the Harmonic Concordance is fantastic; higher consciousness, the unification of the people on this planet and possibly other planets, the leap into the fourth dimension. However, when it comes to women, some of us men are fixed on one way of thinking and it takes a dozen hand grenades and a nuclear war head to get us out of it. Well, maybe…

Some women are just as tenacious in their view of men. Some women want men to consistently be sensitive, understand their emotions, constantly be romantic but not too romantic, and not too understanding. Subconsciously, these women believe in the process of forcing maleness to be female, but with a hint of aggressive masculinity. If you are a woman reading this and saying, Nah, that's not me, then you may be acknowledging the eons of millennia men have said that women don't know what they want in a man.

I have long accepted that women are wonderfully complex and men hopelessly single-minded. Of course in time — and if you are with the right person whose soul has been intertwined with yours before humans defined what time is — this morphs into deep set heart felt feelings during intimacy. However, as time goes on and you enter the day-to-day of the relationship, it all eventually gives into the reptilian nature of the male and the amazon woman method of existence.

I use these terms (reptilian and amazon) because both are the down and dirty parts that make men hunt, fight, build, kill, move mountains, build cities, watch porn, marry, divorce, marry again, teach kids how to drive a car and survive on the planet, leave home, grow up and do the same thing all over again. This is the base. Women go amazon because they make sure that while men go about being heavy worded, domineering, authoritative, protective, territorial etc., the children (future) are protected, the culture is preserved, the art of love and nurturing is taught and greed is at a minimum. The amazon woman's base nature is to insure that the traditions of culture, sensitivity and the nurturing of the earth are maintained so that men do not continue to kill themselves and everything with it and that life will continue regardless of the man's nature to dominate anything and everything.

It is in the make-up of the male/female DNA that no matter how hard you try, no mater how many workshops, books, CDs, DVDs, radio shows, books-on-tape, no matter how many magazines you read, websites you download or what your mother says, it always surfaces. It is how the Creator(s) made us and there is not a damn thing either sex can do about it. The sooner we as a human species can accept this truth, the sooner we can get to the business of integrating the huge changes that are now occurring in the world.

When we as human beings acknowledge that man has a base reptilian nature and woman are amazon creatures, we can stop wasting so much time on what men and woman want. This battle locks us into the patriarchal design which is dying each day. I am sure that if there are aliens from other dimensions walking around us wanting and waiting to prepare humans for the lift-off which is to occur in a handful of years, they are shaking their heads at us in disgust. I would not blame the aliens if they said to the Creator(s): "You know, these humans need a huge chill-out pill to make them relax before we could get to any kind of healing going on".

The reptilian man and the amazon woman are made up of the same soup. According to Answers.com, the myth of the amazon female is as follows: "In classical legend the Amazons were a tribe of warrior women. Their name is supposedly derived from Greek a-mazos, without a breast, because according to the legend they cut off their right breast so as to be better able to shoot with a bow and arrow."

Now I can understand this one. Even trapped animals chew a foot off for the sake of freedom and a better chance at survival to fight back or run. Both male and female have the same instinct for survival no matter what the cost. How many of us men and women are still missing a limb from spiritual and physical self-sacrificing decisions that we made decades earlier?

According to Paul D. MacLean, a scientist with Yale Medical School's National Institute of Health, and Harvard Medical School credentials going back some 60 years, male and females have what he calls the triune brain theory which he says holds Atraces of the evolution existing in the human brain. MacLean says the brain is actually three brains in one. They are defined as the R Complex, the Limbic system and the neocortex.

Maclean says the R complex consists of the cerebellum and the brain stem, host of the instinctive survival mode and is Asimilar to the reptilian brain of lower animals. The Limbic systems carries all of our emotions memories and motivations. The neocortex involves sensory perceptions, conscious thought and in humans, language. I think MacLean is on to something. I think since he is saying the human brain has three sections and three jobs, the trinity is what both male and female are made of, which makes us the same animal.

For example, we could have just finished having the most passionate sex with our wife or girlfriend, profess deep love to her, get dressed, go to the store and before you can say impeach president Bush, be turned on by the cute check out girl. We get back home to our wife/girlfriend and she has something she wants to tell you, knowing full well that after you have been fed a good meal both in and out of the bedroom, you have nestled into reptilian male mode. By this time the cable remote is in our hands and Bill Maher, the HBO comedic news pundit is on a roll. And just one click away on ESPN Football (American), there are 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter and no timeouts. You're going back and fourth between Maher and the quarterback you have temporarily named Aidiot. Next thing you know, she is on the computer. Maher is over and your team lost. You doze off. You wake up an hour later and she is still on the computer reading several light worker web sites, not paying you any attention. You ask her when she is coming to bed? She says "in a minute". An hour passes and she is still at the computer. You get up and rub her head and her shoulders. She gives you a weak smile and continues her work on the computer. You going into your reptilian mode quietly shifted her into amazon woman zone. You go back to bed slightly agitated (reptilian). She stays at the computer enjoying that she made you slightly agitated (amazon).

In my opinion, men and woman are alike. If you love each other enough to tough this period out, once this similarity is accepted, then the REAL realness can be acknowledged and the partnership move to the next level.
