It’s seminar time again! “Good grief!” you may be thinking, “What’s up with that?” Maybe Blair & I are hopelessly addicted, but in my opinion it’s all good. Let me clarify our reasons for attending what some might think are ‘so many’ seminars. One word - ‘developing’. We are each committed to developing our sense of self within the interconnectedness of all things, so that we might understand our roles on this earth. If this is too esoteric for you, let’s just say we believe everyone is here for a reason. When that reason, and more importantly, how to express it becomes clear, then we’ll be joy-fully-filled. We’ll also be able to more effectively spread this energy to others.

By Prescription Only
As for addiction - in our defense we carefully pick and choose the seminars we attend. Seminars are big business these days; I’m sure most of you have been encouraged one way or another to attend one (like by a relentless, raging raven?) How do you decide whether it might be beneficial? Recommendations from people you trust and admire are good. For instance, friends of ours registered for “Millionaire Mind Intensive” because they noticed the positive changes in us. It paid off for them.

Many seminar companies offer introductory samples - another good idea. If you have a chance to attend a free intro - which is what we’ve done on more than one occasion - you have a no-risk opportunity to make an educated decision. Trust your intuition. If you still feel good about it, even in the marketing hype that typifies these intro seminars, it’s probably worthwhile to dive in. Really, what have you got to lose - a few dollars, and few days of your life? If you decide in the end you didn’t gain anything, you will at least have taken the risk. That in itself is valuable experience, and so you’ll still have won. A life worth living is about taking risks. Sitting back and letting life pass you by never gets you farther ahead.

Side Effects
Possibly the scariest thing for many about registering for seminars is the aforementioned masterful marketing ploys. They’ll probably use every trick in the book to get you there. They may even have written the book! Here’s my perspective: Instead of getting your hackles up, appreciate it. As far as percentages go, successful seminar companies are extremely adept marketers, with high sales conversion rates. Study and learn from it.

***uality
Back on track. Which seminar did we attend this time? This one, a product of Warrior Sage Inc. is titled “Sex, Passion, and Enlightenment”. Just try marketing anything with the word ‘sex’ via the internet! Email spam filters are kept busy with that one. So, in the end we were registered to attend “***, Passion, and Enlightenment”!! :)

Your curiosity may have been aroused by the word ‘***’. What the heck were we developing here? This course focuses on the development of successful, long-term intimate relationships, by helping people to understand the importance of sexual essence. The attraction between sexual essences ignites the spark, producing a romantic relationship. What is necessary to keep that spark burning indefinitely?

Bipolar
First, you must understand what sexual essence or energy is. Please be aware that it’s not gender specific. Most women do embrace a high degree of feminine energy, and conversely, most men are predominantly masculine. However, just as estrogen and testosterone are not totally exclusive to either gender, we all possess some degree of both essences. Where we innately fall on the scale determines our predominant sexual nature. Unfortunately, life often intervenes, and we could find ourselves unconsciously blocking our true essence. For instance, career women might have learned to project a stronger masculine essence in order to thrive in the business world. Some men might have encountered, during their youth, an overly driven, uncompassionate male, the result being the adoption of a ‘sensitive new age man’ persona. But if these energies don’t resonate with their true essences, how do you think their intimate relationships will ultimately be affected?

Earth to Space
What, then, characterizes each of the sexual energies? To oversimplify, masculine energy is recognized as being purposeful, on a mission, goal oriented, directional , outside of emotions. The masculine is very transcendental or theoretical. Like the sky, it oversees from above. The feminine is more adaptable, open to giving and receiving love, radiant, often nurturing, sometimes unpredictable. Think of nature. The feminine flows with life, and is grounded in the earth.

Determining where our true nature falls on the feminine-masculine scale, and learning to clear the blockages by opening our hearts can be a huge benefit toward developing lasting, joyful intimate relationships. However, sometimes creating a shell is appropriate - ie. women in business or single fathers. The trick is to be able to access the necessary energy without losing ourselves to it. Being confused about our true sexual essence can result in being unable to attract, keep, or enjoy the perfect intimate relationship.

Open Heart Merger
If you find this interesting you can investigate it more thoroughly by reading the works of David Deida. I recommend starting with “Intimate Communion - Awakening Your Sexual Essence”. This is the one the S.P.E. Seminar is based upon. If you’re ready to experience the exercises that are designed to help you open your heart and move toward a fulfilling intimate relationship, whether you’re already half of a couple, or would like to be, check it out at www.warrior-sage.com. For a referral, contact Diane or Blair at Corbins. We’ll be pleased to answer your questions.
