Gotcha. The meanings they are meant to convey is still something I believe. The elephant story is about personal mental limitations, the monkeys about societal limitations.
Those stories could be easily swapped for real life stories from thousands upon thousands of individuals who bucked personal mental limitations and society's programming to overcome and create better lives for themselves.

Is this just a theory you've formulated or is there true evidence of the existence of this insidious power to destroy masculinity within men? I agree 100% with what you've surmised about "society’s art, film, stories and sayings" because I was coming to the same conclusion but had only correlated it to Madison Ave. (advertising), Nashville/L.A. (songs we listen to on radio) and Hollywood. I had yet to link art, stories and sayings to the same negative influence... the emasculation of modern man in the U.S.A., and primarily in the U.S.A.
Even French men appear to have more balls in approaching women!

Interesting.
Makes me think of William Burrough's assertation that "language is a virus."

Hey Captain, I recently made a smartass comment on your blog. I hadn't read your blog completely and made an idiotic comment about your competence. It was quite a chode thing to do. I have since looked you up, downloaded the PDF files (of your journey from loser to master) and what can I say except, "Respect bro!". You are as REAL DEAL as it gets. *bowing head in respect*

Thanks for coming on here and letting me (and everyone else) know about your change of viewpoint.
I hope my tech can help you get what you want.

Madison Ave. is more the effect of the deeper embedding but it helps to reinforce it and make it seem more real.
