The Great Astrological End-Time

The Apocalypse is upon us, a part of a great astrological end-time cycle that is impacting humanity today. Global warming is now a reality. Devastating climate changes, including earthquakes and volcanoes, have been getting worse since 1970. We have also seen an epidemic rise in depression and suicide in this same time period. And we are heading for a Sixth Big Extinction of almost all life on earth.

The astrological signs Virgo and Pisces sit in opposition to each other across the zodiac, creating an axis that acts as a trigger for end-time energies. Virgo rules disintegration and extinction, and Pisces rules dissolution, giving to the times occupied by these signs the quality of dramatic change. The table is cleaned and washed in order to create space for a new feast to be set.

In addition to ages, there are twelve eras (my terminology) in every age, and twelve phases in every era. We sit at the beginning of the Pisces Era of the Age of Pisces, 1980 to 2160. This is a doubly intense Pisces/Virgo bath of dissolution and disintegration adding greatly to the end-time quality of this time.

Since the Pisces Phase (1965 to 1980) of the Aquarius Era (1800 to 1980) of the Age of Pisces, our history has taken on a decidedly end-time flavor. Toxic industrial and nuclear pollution made headlines after 1965. A sudden rise in species extinctions became a major concern. International and domestic terrorism exploded onto the scene in Europe and America. Welfare increased dramatically, and inflation began to tear at the economic fabric of our lives. Depression and suicide rates began to climb. And these trends have continued to today. Since 1970 weather patterns began to change, and earthquakes and volcanoes began to increase in frequency and intensity. Global warming is now a scientific fact with devastating projections for our future over the next century. And many researchers say that we have just now entered a Sixth Big Extinction event that will affect all life on earth.

We can look at history to get a perspective on this. The Virgo Eras of the last two ages reveal a history of social and political fragmentation resulting in periods of feudalistic isolation. The Virgo Era of the Age of Aries, from 1080 to 900 BCE, witnessed the internal social and political fragmentation of the Egyptian Empire, the breakdown into warring feudalistic city-states of the First Assyrian Empire, and the establishment of the feudalistic Greek city-states as Greeks moved into their present homeland.

The Virgo Era of the Age of Pisces, 900 to 1080 CE, saw the same fragmentation of culture. Europe disintegrated into small, isolated cities and manors in a system known as manoralism. The Islamic empire fragmented into three separate Caliphates. The Tang Dynasty in China devolved into a fragmented feudalistic system where local warlords ruled the country in the name of the emperor. The Mayans in Central America suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from their homeland after 900 CE.

The Pisces Eras also reveal histories of social and political confusion and breakdown. During the Pisces Era of the Age of Aries, 180 to 0 BCE, the Late Republic in Rome after 200 BCE, entered a period of severe internal violence and social dissolution. There was a massive rise in the number of slaves imported into the city. Citizens were pushed out of their jobs, and a huge welfare state was created. Gladiatorial games were created to keep the people occupied and off the streets. Huge slum tenements were built on the outskirts of the city to house the poor. A widening division between rich and poor split the city as the middle class dissolved and slid into poverty. Politics became a path to wealth and power as greed replaced civic responsibility. Similar trends of social dissolution and internal violence are also seen in the Early Han Dynasty in China between 200 and 0 BCE.

It is easy to see the beginnings of these same trends in our modern world over the last few decades. Welfare and entitlement programs have become a necessary part of the political landscape. Global warming and climate changes are markers for something dramatic that is happening today.

Is this something to be worried about? The smaller Virgo and Pisces Eras create times of social and political breakdown. The longer ages would be times of major end-time scenarios. The Age of Virgo from 12,960 to 10,800 BCE, sits opposite to our present Age of Pisces in the zodiac. At approximately 10,000 BCE, there is evidence of a huge global extinction of large animals, the Pleistocene Extinction, possibly caused by some type of cosmic cataclysm. This is very close to the end of the Age of Virgo, close enough to fit this end-time cycle.

The Beresovka Mammoth was found flash frozen with fresh undigested buttercups in its mouth and stomach. To keep food from the continued process of digestion, the mammoth would had to have been flash frozen to -150 degrees Fahrenheit almost immediately. Also found in Siberia are temperate trees frozen with fruit still on the branches. The muck pits of Alaska reveal many thousands of large animals killed and instantly frozen, torn apart and mixed with the torn trunks of trees, as if they were all violently thrown down with some superhuman force mashing them all together in a single cosmic event.

There was a sudden rise in the level of the world’s oceans at around 10,000 BCE as well. Since the 1950s there have been numerous reports of finding underwater manmade megalithic stone walls, stone roads and temples in the Caribbean. More recently a city was discovered under 100 feet of water in the Indian Ocean off the coast of northern India. A recent NASA satellite photograph shows an underwater manmade stone bridge or causeway running from southern India to the island of Sri Lanka. These were all above water prior to 10,000 BCE.

Worldwide, over 500 myths and stories remember at least one such catastrophic world ending tragedy in the past. A handful of them remember more than one such destruction. The ancient Egyptians, who gave to us our ideas about Atlantis, say that there is a regularly recurring cycle of end-time destructions. This is in line with what this astrological end-time cycle reveals.

Now that we are in the Pisces Era within the Age of Pisces since 1980, this could all get worse. The doubly strong astrological energy bath of Pisces dissolution and Virgo disintegration and extinction right now promise apocalypse prior to the promised golden Age of Aquarius, the Millennium of Christ. So, how do we survive into the next age as a species?

The astrology that says that we are in trouble, also tells us to embrace the best of the astrological energies involved. This means embracing the highest Pisces energies, deepening our Pisces spirituality as the best way through this. Pisces rules spirituality. The planet Venus is exalted in Pisces, giving to the religions of this age the heightened impulse to devotion, and expressing selfless and compassionate love to everyone around us, without judgment. We meditate or pray, a Virgo mental technique that allows us to get past our fears, and which helps us to align our personal energies with the spiritual energies of Pisces and with God or Goddess. Expressing these energies in our lives enlivens them for the collective, allowing us to direct the outcome of these times to our own ends.

While the Age of Aquarius is still a good ways off, Pisces rules contact with other worlds, higher worlds. Following the Pisces spiritual path can help us to contact and create heaven on earth right now, without waiting for the golden Age of Aquarius. Pisces rules dreams. We can choose to dream a new world, free from poverty, crime and suffering, and free of destructive prophecy, or at least the more devastating aspects of prophecy. Meditation and prayer in the service of our dreams supports the Aquarius energies of utopia. The planet Mercury, the mind, is exalted in Aquarius. Through positive thinking and affirmations, we can learn to manifest our hopes, dreams and wishes, and create a new utopia, all Aquarius qualities.

The Apocalypse is indeed here. It is riding the wave of an astrologically enlivened end-time cycle. The Golden Age will follow. The astrological qualities of these times, of this end-time, is asking us to become the sons and daughters of God, as Christ foresaw, and take for ourselves the ability to perform all the miracles that Christ performed, and more, in fulfillment of Christ’s prophecies regarding us during this transition.

MAKING IT in Film Production!

Do you, or do you want to, work on film productions? If you want to expand in your career in film, this article will help you make it!

Why aren’t there more Film Directors making films. Props Masters, Sound Mixers, Costume Supervisors, Key Grips, etc. becoming Line Producers, Producers-For-Hire or UPM’s? Why aren’t more crew reaching the level of Department Head? Why aren’t more film school students finding work? I’m sure there are lots of reasons, but take a quiet moment to really look. Let’s see…. It’s not competence – most crew disappear pretty quickly if they’re slow witted and incompetent. Film students who graduate have shown they’re pretty smart. It’s not a lack of drive – again, for the same reasons. Wouldn’t you agree that the biggest hurdle is getting the opportunity? Well, that’s true and not true.

The biggest hurdle is MAKING the opportunity.

How do you increase the odds of landing a contract as a Film Director, Line Producer, a Department Head (if you’re not one already), or even a UPM on a small independent production? Lots of film school graduates are ready to burst with ideas to get their scripts into production; how do they get to produce their scripts? First you need to get the confidence of the person in front of you. That single person in front of you needs to believe that you can control your sphere of work so effectively that he/she can get on with creating their vision.

If you’re already a working professional in film, you can easily convince someone that you can control the heck out of your area of expertise. But, if you want to upgrade, what do you know about the relationship of your department to all other facets of film production? You need to be able to convince others that you understand the common denominator of all filmmaking. Nobody denies that you need to have a creative bent in film productions. But let’s lay it on the table – THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND FILM PROUCTION IS MONEY!

By the time we, as working crew, start working on a film production, our creative bent is totally bent by the amount of MONEY available to us. We want to get the best product we can out of every buck. Like it or not, your performance in film production is measured, to some degree, by how well you control the money. It’s like ‘Directing’, only you’re ‘Directing the Money’.

Do you want to get that upgrade? Then, learn the language of those who ‘Direct the Money’. To my way of thinking, that’s the only way to be taken seriously.

Here’s the deal – you need to show them, with attitude, that you will provide them with a controlled environment from which they can create their vision. The only way I know of to do that is to graduate to a ‘Director of Money’. From that position you can be the go-to Line Producer, Producer-For-Hire, Department Head, UPM, etc.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you’ve met a hot new Producer, Director, Actor or Executive Producer, etc. with a script. Whoever you meet, they’ll be very excited to talk with you about it. After the first ½ hour or less, how do you segue into being their Line Producer, Producer or UPM?

Well you ask them some real questions that would knock their socks off and show that you’re the one to ‘Direct the Money’ for them – but those questions are beyond the scope of this article.

You get the idea. You need to know the ‘lingo’ of budgets and you need to understand that those budgeted numbers need to be directed. You’ll also need to inspire confidence in the Financiers, or the Bonding Company, that you know what the weekly financial report card is all about (that is, the universally standard Weekly Cost Report).

Most of those questions, with a little imagination, can also apply to anyone who wants to upgrade to a Department Head. A Production Manager would be completely blown away!

So how does a director or crew member get familiar with Budgets and Cost Reports? I’ve been a Production Auditor for 20 years and I’ve NEVER shown a crewmember a Final Budget or a Weekly Cost Report (the universally standard financial report card issued to the Financiers and Producers every week) in that entire time. They are considered sacrosanct by Studio Executives, Financiers and Bonding Companies everywhere.

Well, I’m about to tease you with some relevant articles that will open the door enough to let you walk through. They’re written for the complete novice, so be patient if you’ve already been exposed to budgets and cost reports. Remember, the articles are techniques on being FAMILIAR enough with budgets and cost reports to be able to ‘Direct the Money’.

Make Sure You Do – Before You Say “I Do”

Tina Turner asked an important question in the title of her hit song; What’s Love Got To Do With It? Yes love is important but love don’t pay the bills. It is not be enough to be “in love.” Couples must have the basic skills necessary for building and enhancing the relationship over time. Lasting marriages require partners who are committed to respecting one another, who have gained knowledge about what makes marriage work, and who have developed skills that will enhance rather than deteriorate the relationship.

It is mind boggling that so many spend countless hours planning for the great wedding day. That’s right; it is only for one day; a mere drop in the ocean of time. Here today, gone tomorrow; then what? It is just plain ignorant to spend numerous weeks and even months planning for the wedding that last a day and ignore the marriage that is expected to endure for a lifetime. It makes good sense then, to spend at least an equal amount of time preparing for married life. By reading this article, you have taken the first step toward increasing your awareness. I applaud you.

Whenever I perform a wedding ceremony, it usually includes these words:

Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him/her, forsaking all others and holding only unto him/her according to God’s holy law; and thus pledge your faithfulness.

It is disconcerting that nearly half of all married couples regretted uttering those profound words and have since divorced. I believe that the most egregious mistake these couples made was not spending enough time seriously planning for a lifetime together in marriage. Though most couples do claim to take their wedding vows seriously, often what has been disregarded is really getting to know each other on a level beneath the surface.

Women, particularly, seem to approach marriage from a fantasy “happy-ever-after” mentality. We do not seem to realize that what we think we “see” is not perfect reality. And, what we think we feel is related to what we think we see. In other words, we tend to approach marriage with a distorted perception of what married life will be like. In a way, it can be analogized to an adolescent girl who always wanted a baby until she actually had one and the reality of parental responsibility ferociously slapped her in the face; or the teen young man who didn’t understand that as soon as he hit adulthood, the system would relentlessly seek child support payments from him for each child he has fathered.

Keep in mind that who you marry will have a dramatic impact on all aspects of your life; spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health. Marriage is serious business and should be given serious thought. It is not optional, it is obligatory. Take a long and hard look before you leap.

Electric and Hybrid Cars

Modern technologies have prompted automobile innovations to adapt to the changing interests and necessities of people. Originally, cars were gas-powered, and then later on manufacturers have arrived at electric and hybrid cars.

Electric cars are run on batteries. These batteries are assembled into battery packs that are either rechargeable or disposable. Sometimes, most buyers prefer the disposable ones because of time-consuming recharging. An electric car is nice to drive because it’s quiet. It’s fun too because it has two speeds: on and off. It can speed up immediately from a dead stop. It is also easy to maintain and take care of and overall less costly. However, feedback about electric cars is that they are too quiet, which may be dangerous to the pedestrians and other vehicles on the road.

A hybrid car, on the other hand, has the combination of gas and electricity. It is run alternately by a gas engine and an electric motor. It consumes less fuel than the gas-powered cars, and the batteries recharge themselves automatically. The gas engine is also energy-conserving because it shuts off when the car is not moving and when it runs, the energy returns at once. The structure of the hybrid is also different from the common car. It is made of aluminum and plastic and is lightweight in design to enable it to be powered by smaller and lighter gas engines.

While both the electric and hybrid cars are environmentally friendly and economical, the hybrid is a lot better than the purely electric car. Unlike the electric car, it has batteries that have a self-recharging capability. They don’t need an external source or to be plugged into an outlet to recharge. Choices depend on the buyer’s preferences and purposes.

It’s quite amazing to think that even though technology brings some disadvantages to humans, like becoming less industrious and impersonalized, it also has given us a lot of beneficial things, and continues to support us in our everyday needs. More discoveries and inventions year after year prove that people are undoubtedly skillful, talented, and wonderful. They can also turn this world into better place.

How to Get People To Like You More

If you are wondering how to get people to like you more, you probably suffer from low self esteem, and feel that other people don’t like you very much. The chances are that this is a false impression and that at least some people like you a lot more than you like yourself.

However, we can all do with a self esteem boost, so here are some effective techniques to get people to like you more.

1. Allow people to connect with you

This doesn’t mean making connections on the latest social networking site; it means in your regular daily life. Allow others to get close to you and to get to know the real you, without putting up defensive barriers against this.

2. Develop empathy with other people

As you let others get close to you and know the real you, take the time to get to know other people well too.

Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and see how the world looks from their point of view. Experience their emotions with them and you will undoubtedly develop a deeper connection.

3. Be reliable

Be someone that others can rely on in a crisis or at a difficult time in their lives. This means you need to be there for people when they feel they need it, not just when you can be bothered to make the effort.

You can either provide practical or emotional support or you can help them get the professional help they need like finding them the phone number of an out of hours plumber.

4. Give people your undivided attention

Everyone likes to feel that they are the center of the universe, so make them the center of your universe, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Concentrate on the other person totally and on what they are saying and doing.

5. Give people what they need

This may be a hug, some encouraging words or someone’s shoulder to cry on. Whatever it is that the other person needs, if you can be the one to give it to them, they will like you more.

6. Be kind and understanding

Don’t criticise. Be polite and accept other people for who they are. Life doesn’t have to be your one person crusade to change others and this usually fails anyway. Just accept people for who they are and they will like you more.

7. Notice the small things

Everyone feels good when other people notice the minor details about them like having lost weight or got a hair cut. Compliment them on these things and they will feel great, and as a consequence, because you were the one who made them feel that way, they will like you more.

8. Put yourself out for people

Offer them a ride if they are having car trouble; hold the ladders for them if they are hanging curtains; cook them a meal if they are feeling ill yet have a family to cater for. It doesn’t have to be a big task, but your effort will be appreciated.

9. Be a good listener

Sometimes, the thing that people want more than anything else is a person to whom they can trust to offload their troubles. If that is you, they will like you a lot more. You must be trustworthy and not judge or break confidences, but otherwise, being a good listener costs you hardly any effort at all.

These tips have shown you how to get people to like you more. Most of the tips are surprisingly easy to implement and what is really most important is that you respond to what the other person needs from you and that you are there for them to help in bad times as well as being there to celebrate the good times.

Aztec Tattoo Designs, Should You Get One?

There is something very striking about an Aztec tattoo.

It’s bold line work, its symmetry, the spare use of colour, the striking images and use of animals in a two-dimensional format.

You will see many of these images adorned on bodies this summer. The beauty of them is that they lend themselves well to most parts of the body. They can be very intricate or less so, enabling the customer to go for different sizes in design. They can be filled with colour or left in stark dark colours.

It’s worth knowing a little bit of history of the Aztecs and their tattoos before you make a decision on whether this is the tattoo for you.

The Aztecs were a tribe that lived between the 13th and 16th centuries in and around what is now Mexico. Religion played a big part of their life (as with most cultures back then).

They had specific reasons for their tattoos. They saw their ink as an important part of honouring their gods and their way of life. Tattoos were created for all kinds of ceremonies, rituals and sacrifices.

Many Aztec tattoo designs revolved around an image of the sun. The sun was a big deal to the Aztecs. They believe the sun god, Huitzilpochtili, was up there in the sky guarding the heavens, ready to take fallen Aztec warriors to the afterlife. Many tattoos were created in honour of him.

Another common symbol is the eagle. This represented power, courage and strength. Needless to say Aztec warriors were adorned with eagles to show their social standing in the tribe and many accomplishments.

A feathered serpent called Quetzalcoatl is known as being the god of weather, fertility and creativity Designs in this vein were often very important as they represented strong links to the Aztecs culture.

Aztecs were tattooed from a very young age to show their ascent through the ranks of the tribe. From children through to warrior status, their ink told the stories of their allegiances and accomplishments. If they were lucky enough to survive the harsh lifestyle and reach old age and “elder” status their bodies would tell the stories of their adventures.

This particular style of tattoo lends itself well to larger, bolder pieces of art. Smaller, individual designs can also be linked up very easily to created large sleeves or back pieces.

The bold thick line work and limited colour also means that the tattoo will age well over time.

Textile Design – A Case Study of Its Significance to Humanity

Textile design can be defined, to mean the art of making patterns of various types on fabric materials. In a broader view, it as an area of discipline in applied or industrial art had been practised in different parts of the world at different times. For instance, it was reportedly practised in China around 618-906 AD, in Japan around 552-794 AD. It was also recorded by historians that, it was practised for centuries in South- East Asia, Indonesia, India, Peru and parts of Africa especially Nigeria to be specific. Additionally, it is an embodiment of professional disciplines that are open to different areas of specialization. For example, under it, are the following disciplines, viz; Tie- Dye, Batik, Print and Print making, Weaving and Embroidery.

Textile design has its own usefulness and purpose in mankind, and such usefulness cannot be underestimated in human daily endeavours. To start with, it can be used as a means of utility, that is, it can serve different purposes at a time. For example, it can be worn as cloth, can be used to make handbags, can be used as window blind or curtain for home and office, as table cover, as handkerchief and so on.

Textile design as an area of specialization can serve as a means of employment and source of income to individuals. This implies that, an artist or a designer can explore new motifs, techniques or styles in textile design and by so doing, make himself or herself self employed without depending on government or family member(s) for sustenance. This, on the other hand, tends to reduce, to some extent, the unemployment rate of a particular society. It is also very significant in our daily endeavours in the area of aesthetics.

Aesthetics is defined according to oxford advance learner dictionary as anything concerned with beauty and art, and the understanding of beautiful things. Based on this fact highlighted above, it can therefore be used as both interior and exterior decoration in public and private buildings like hotels, churches, mosque, banks, offices, to mention but just a few. The products of textile designs used for both interior and exterior decoration are usually made into various sizes, with beautiful patterns, framed and hung on the walls of the buildings.

Another vital area where it can play an important role in the daily endeavours of humans is in the area of being an agent or a means to communicate, address and as well, promote cultural values of a particular society. It shall be recalled at this instance that, dressing is one of the main tenets of culture. Fabric materials, to be worn as cloth, can be designed by an artist to portray some historical antecedents of a society so as to showcase such cultural values to the outside world. This can be achieved, through the use of stories and motifs, that are common or identified with such societies, as designs on textile materials. Citing an instance, common folktales of different versions of a society can be made on fabrics, anyone that comes across such works/cloths will be reminded or be acquainted with the cultural values of such society. Similarly, foreigners and those that are not very familiar with the cultural values of the communities involved, can use the works/fabrics as reference points or souvenirs for better understanding of the cultural heritage of the communities concerned.

Economic significance is yet another area, through which the exploration of textile design can be of paramount importance to human daily endeavour. This can be explained through the boost, the sales of textile design products will give to the economy of a nation. This means that, buying and selling of the products and the patronage given to them cannot only make individuals involved to be self- reliant, but also add to the gross domestic products of a nation. It should be emphasised that, on any products sold or bought, the personalities involved in the transactions has directly and indirectly paid some amount of money as tax while buying the products. The tax goes into the purse of the government, this therefore generates some money into the purse of the government, thus, adding a quota to the national development of the nation.

Conclusively, all the points discussed in this essay are just part of a whole of the usefulness of textile design to our daily endeavours as humans.

How To Attract Men With A Dynamite First Impression!

First impressions are extremely important. They can make or break a man’s interest in you and may affect his opinion on you for further interactions to come. In fact elderly people tend to remember their husband’s or wife’s just as when they first saw them. The beautiful smile, the wonderful laugh, and the way he or she walked away from them are all things that you will find an elderly person talking about. They do not focus on the wrinkles that the years have added on now but instead the first impression of their love. It’s that important!

So if you have a man in your sights then remember to make that first impression count! Try to view what he sees when he looks at you and picture what he would tell everyone about you when he gets older. Here are a few things to take into consideration.

1. Smile

Most people remember their partners smile from when they first met. Smiling is contagious and will make him feel good about you and himself around you when you are smiling and happy.

Many women try to hide their smile for whatever reason. They make an attempt to show pleasure but think they look silly when they beam with an all-out smile. This is not true. In fact, everyone looks better with a genuine smile on their face. So if you are happy then smile naturally and he will remember it as a part of you.

2. Laugh

Laughter is an extension to smiling but he will remember both of them separately. Don’t stifle your laugh to be quieter or less extreme than normal but instead let it all come out. Laughter is the best medicine in life and it also makes an imprint in his head that will have him thinking about your for a long time to come.

3. Body Language

Most of what we say to someone is with our body language, so make sure you are saying all the right things with it! Be open and inviting with your body. Do not close yourself off. And use a lot of eye contact in your first impression as this is the center of body language. Everything you need to say can be said with your eyes and the imprint it will leave with a man is huge. In fact, you will hear many people talk about their lover’s eyes from that first impression. So get out those flirty and sexy eyes and use them.

4. Attitude

You may be smiling and laughing, but if you are talking about the girl who got dumped and then lost her home in a fire you are not going to come off as attractive to a man. You want to portray a positive attitude that he will remember and want to know more about. Don’t complain, whine, or bad-mouth anyone in a first impression.

5. Confidence

Confidence is attractive and sexy. If you portray confidence in a first impression then he will always remember you for being the confident person you were. Even if you don’t feel it try thinking it. Tell yourself that you have a lot to offer this man and that you are a great catch, and remember that there is no reason for him not to be attracted to you. It will shine through your body language and he will remember it.

Learning Who Your Real Friends Are

Sometimes, learning who your real friends are can be a harsh lesson, one that you probably wish you did not have to deal with. It usually happens in times of trouble, when you really need that friend to lean on and get support from. The ones who are there are your real friends and the ones who seem to be missing in action are the ones that will disappoint you, but now you know where you really stand with them.

Part of the disappointment that comes from learning who your real friends are is the fact that you evaluated or judged them wrong. I can remember a really hard time in my life several years back when a few of the guys I would unquestionably call a friend seemed to just disappear when I needed them and as much as it hurt that they did this, it also stung to realize that I had misjudged them pretty badly.

People will come and go in this life, but the ones who stick around are the ones that you really need to appreciate. They are the ones who embody what it means to be buddies and what it means to have true friendship. Learning who the real ones are and then how to judge people a little better is not just good for the pals you have, it can also help you out in many other situations.

It happens a lot in work situations when a promotion comes up and suddenly two people that are unquestionably pals suddenly will start to do things to outshine or even attack the other person. While this cannot always be avoided, when you learn to recognize who is a real friend and who is not, it can help you to see through whatever workplace facade there is and know that you really can or cannot count on this person.

It also helps in our personal relationships, our more intimate ones. Many men have had the experience of getting a girlfriend and then when things got a little tough financially for them, she was quick to head for the door. That’s one of the most disappointing and even hurtful moments that a guy can go through and it can even leave him bitter.

When you know how to recognize who the real people are, the ones that will not just leave when things get tough, that can help you to learn how to attract the right woman into your life if you are a guy and the right man into your life if you are a woman. And most importantly, it can help you to appreciate that person just a little bit more and maybe even overlook a few little flaws that they might have.
