XII. The POWER of POSITIVE/CONSTRUCTIVE WORDS ADDRESSED to FEMALES and YOUTH is only dimly appreciated by most contemporary men.

When I was young, my mother, Kathryn, read and appreciated Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking". While not minimizing the significance of this book (indeed, Peale, a male, was addressing words to my female mother, albeit impersonally), this blogger here describes an overt heterosexual and inter-generational formulation of a similar but more potent and all-inclusive concept.

A 'higher power' is frequently cited as an explanation for events (often positive) that a person experiences but cannot fit into his/her usual concepts of cause and effect.

Such, then, are perceived as the manifestation and evidence of the functioning of 'God', 'the gods', 'a guardian angel', 'karma', 'spirituality', 'lady luck' or some other kind of supernatural (as contrasted with naturally explainable) power and influence.

As noted in previous posts, I perceive that reality is generated (i.e., procreated) by male-female interaction - with the paradigm of this being the interaction between

(i) the spermatocyte and the ovum

and/or

(ii) "God" and "the heavens and the earth" as described in Genesis 1 - i.e., God (the mere male element) addressed the words, "Let there be light...etc." to "the heavens and the earth" (the female element).

If a male (especially an older male) addresses positive/constructive words to a female, she can 'give birth to' a favorable reality that seems unexplainable in terms of natural 'cause and effect' mechanisms. Thus, She is the source of the apparently supernatural phenomena. (This phenomenon, then, is directly analogous to the interaction between "God" and "the heavens and the earth".

[The latter (perhaps best conceptualized as the mathematical 'laws of nature') were/are virtually supernatural and magical in terms of their power to 'conceive' and 'give birth to' a new reality but could/can not do this without being effected/informed/defined (see previous posts) by a merely naturally-functioning (i.e., speaking) male element that is represented in Genesis 1 by "God". Yes, 'God'-function is here perceived as natural whereas 'nature' is seen as having apparently super-natural qualities.]

A female does not have to practice 'magic'; She is, in Her very being, 'magic' itself. And this not unlike the famous 'Genie in the bottle'. A man must be careful what he says to a female.

All to often, a man simply negatively complains (e.g., Adam complaining about Eve in 'The Garden of Eden') and, so, the reality the she can 'give birth to' by/with him is negative.

To a more limited extent the older generation may 'impregnate' or 'program' the younger generation by addressing positive/constructive or negative/destructive words to them.
