The Emergent Feminine
by: Judith Richardson
In the beginning of 1990 I was being guided to explore the nature of feminine and masculine, feeling the shift in the re-emergence of feminine energy. As a storyteller, I am called to "seed" the story, myth, legend through the mediums of words, sound and movement, whereby individuals can choose to become stimulated and awakened.
The historical role of women is often visible only through the records kept by men, which often minimizes or distorts the role of women in the shaping of culture and society. Much of the material that has been passed down to us reflects a male bias that does not feel whole. Building ourselves up by putting others down keeps us stuck; I choose to acknowledge and move forward from the positive past.
Indigenous and wisdom traditions speak of the feminine and masculine in a variety of ways. Both states are present within our natures. Western scholars, influenced by Jungian psychology and feminist goddess theology, speak of polar opposites in binary principals known as darkness and light, negative and positive, feminine and masculine, expansion and contraction, etc.
Many traditions attribute masculine and feminine to the sun and moon and differ in their associations. In the west, the sun represents masculine, the unlimited energy in us determined to be expressed. We hear of the life fire of the sun ? generators, motivators, and stimulators. The moon represents feminine energy, the magnetic force, ruler of tides, power of receptive nature. We open, expand, and express our full selves like the moon. In the western world, feelings have been equated with the feminine and actions with the male.
The feminine ? the magnetic part of self that desires to be nurtured in all areas of your life. Is committed to trusting experiences that reveal self-knowledge. Seeks clarity, truth and authenticity beyond roles, masks and defenses. Feminine in male and female is both firm and yielding, requiring a need to go inward and trust the essential parts of who you are. Inherent intuition is feminine in nature.
The masculine -- the desire to express itself in unlimited creative and intuitive ways. Determined to build solid and abundant structures. Dynamic energy expressing itself with determination, focus and will. Inner assertive nature, determined to apply an inspired vision without holding back in any way.
Institutions everywhere struggle to meet the challenges of this new century with models and structures that were developed in the past.
Many hope that technology will solve the challenges of rapid change, globalization and changes in the labor force.
The truth is that we must generate new ways of working and learning in order to find a viable solution.
Many are coming to a knowing of a new paradigm in bringing ourselves to the world ? authentically.
Leading between the lines is about supplying leadership with tools that go beyond the classics of strategic planning and teambuilding and reach into the realm of harnessing the chaotic power of these changing times.
If leadership's role is to create conditions for success within the organization, leaders must address not only the tangible and the linear, eg, 'the lines', but also the intangible and non-linear, 'between the lines'.
Most of us didn't learn how to manage the non-linear in our education, but we face the effects of not knowing how to manage it every day.
When we learn how to effectively work with the non-linear AND the linear we promote sustainability and betterment of our organizations and businesses, our communities, our lives.

an effective web page title.
What is a web page title?
In your web page HTML code, the page title (also called the
title element or just the title) is the text that is
enclosed by the opening and closing TITLE tags.

The 'Quick & Easy' Money Makers!
The 'Quick & Easy' Money Makers!
by: Bryan Kumar
There's a popular myth floating around implying that your product has to be hundreds of pages long if it is to make you any real money.
That's a big lie.
More money is being made out there than ever before, by individuals selling short, focused reports! And it's growing at incredible rates.
The classic example that always comes to mind is Internet Cash Machines by Allen Says. That book was released some time ago, yet it's still selling by the thousands to this day! Other great examples are Magic Letters (which really started it all) and 7 Secrets to Unlimited Traffic. That last one is no more than 15 pages long! Yet, it's still being downloaded from thousands of sites.
The bottom line is...when it comes to info-products, size doesn't necessarily matter! Quality does! You could make just as much money with a 15-page book as you could with a 100-page one. In fact, you can make more...

It's No Good Having A Killer Product If You Don't Have A Killer Website

Read the title of this article over a couple of times in your head so it really starts to sink in.
So what does this title really mean. Well, there's no beating around the bush with this one... it means exactly what it says.
If your site is NOT an order-pulling, money-sucking mean machine then it's not really worth promoting your product, whether it's a killer product or not.
It is vital that your site has a well-written and extremely powerful sales letter that will hook your prospects and reel them in like a fish.
Your goal is to walk your prospect through your sales letter straight to your order page where they will be so excited, they would have already whipped out their credit card from their wallets.

Now ask yourself this... "I have an amazing product but do I really have a killer...
