		<description><![CDATA[Meta evaluation:  consciousness evaluating the efficacy of its own operations; an integrated sum of self-confidence and self-respect; power derived from the feeling of an unlimited ceiling and pride as a response to the achievement of self-esteem, since self-esteem is value to be earned and kept.
John Galt and Howard Roark fit the image. In large part Rand was successful because she used literature as the mechanism to sway the heart first and the mind later. Nathaniel Branden has been at the forefront that you’ve got the understanding of self-esteem all wrong…it’s actually a fucking heroic achievement on a magnitude that equals an accent to K2 because you will have to come face to face with your own evolutionary frame. That is why men will own the domain of love…its just too hard for a women to become that powerful at this stage in human history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Rock said something like, &quot;Men think what do I have to DO to get what I want? Women think who do I have to GET to get what I want?&quot;

Therefore, in general men have an &quot;Internal Locus of Control&quot; and women/AFCs have an &quot;External Locus of Control.&quot; Men have Power from within. Women try to get Power from others. Such as, an AFC asking a woman &quot;So what would you like to do now?&quot; and this makes a woman see him as a weak wuss thus it turns her off, instead of using Power from within to strongly lead  and make the decision &quot;This is what we are going to do now&quot; and she can feel and be attracted to his inner masculine Power. On a larger level a man says this is what I want to do in my own life and then he uses his internal masculine Power to do these things.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great post...&quot;&quot;Anxiety, trauma and crisis are necessary catalysts to stimulate self-consciousness. A breakup, a death, a betrayal; tragically, it’s at these points in our lives that we do our best introspection, we have our ‘moments of clarity’ and yes, discover what abysmal, simpering chumps we’ve allowed ourselves to be molded into.&quot;&quot;

Just broke up with the gf.   She was driving me crazy...endless shit tests, jealousy, controlling,manipulative.

Game was slipping...for all the agree and amplify..she was out-doing me...

So finally, I just unplugged.  There was a catalyst.  She embarrassed me in front of some guests by making a scene and threatening not to dj a party I was putting on.  That was it....

After I broke up with her...now she&#039;s in denial...keeps thinking this is just some &quot;phase&quot;...that I&#039;ll come to my senses and see why we are so right together. 

ME:  We&#039;re broken up...get used to that...

The more I say this the more determined it makes her.

This is clearly evidence of two things:  1) to regain any hand you have to walk away and 2) you can&#039;t be afraid to walk away.

Change is hard.   On the positive side....two other girls, both friends have been giving me major IOI&#039;s....and with the holidays coming up, I&#039;ve got nothing but options.

A few weeks ago...I was beta backsliding, and into AFC guilt mode.]]></description>
