Man Breathes Life Into the World, Woman Breathes Life Into Man

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

I made a statement on my Facebook account some time ago. The statement sprung from wondering why Ayn Rand never had children, yet wrote something as profoundly inspiring as The Fountainhead – so much so that it would be accurate to say it has survival value.

The statement that came to me was that

“Man breathes life into the world, and woman breathes life into man”.

I will take the time to explore this statement today, and how the dots have become connected internally for me, in regards to how accurate I was in my original remark – yet was unable to fully explain the statement then, even to my own self.

To begin, Ayn stated throughout the course of her life that the purpose of her work was to depict the ideal man.

Take note of the italicized her in that sentence, because while Ayn was human, she was of the female gender.

A woman.

While some of her critics state that…

Rape

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

As far back as I can remember, I have been at war with the world.

I didn’t always think of it in those terms of course, but never the less — even as far back as four years old – I have vivid memories of standing up to the many, to the bigger, the stronger, the older, the “wiser” — to any individual or group of individuals I believed were acting in the wrong.

The qualities of those who were in the wrong, by my standards — and the quantity of such individuals — was not even a distant thought to me at such times.

All that mattered was my inflexible demand for what was right in those particular situations.

As I age, I feel the need to expand my focus. Those of you who have followed The Dream Lounge and The 21 Convention from their infancy, can attest to this ever broadening expansion of interests.

And now I think I know why. To win my war with the world, by necessity, I have…

Anthony Robbins

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

This is a message I received the other day. I think the message as a whole will reverberate what a lot of you are already thinking in your own terms, or have already considered almost verbatim.

Hey Anthony… how’s it going man? I just wanted to let you know I respect the heck out of what you are doing. It’s so needed in this day and age, it’s not even funny. I’m not a fan of all this pickup/seduction community stuff because I know the basis of it is not the solidarity of true, raw masculinity. The 21 Convention with leaders in different areas of life like Doug McGuff, Bill DeSimone, etc. to round it out is visionary thinking from yourself.

I believe nothing would be greater than getting Tony Robbins to speak at your event. I’m sure you have atleast heard of him, he’s powerful, natural, full of integrity and deeply understands polarities in relationships and their roles in life. He came from a destitute background but with being such a force of nature, he’s accomplished so damn much. His programs…

Individualism

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

 

Roark took the oath. He stood by the steps of the witness stand. The audience looked at him. They felt he had no chance. They could drop the nameless resentment, the sense of insecurity which he aroused in most people. And so, for the first time, they could see him as he was: a man totally innocent of fear.

The fear of which they thought was not the normal kind, not a response to a tangible danger, but the chronic, unconfessed fear in which they all lived. They remembered the misery of the moments when, in loneliness, a man thinks of his bright words he could have said, but had not found, and hates those who robbed him of his courage. The misery of knowing how strong and able one is in one’s own mind, the radiant picture never to be made real. Dreams? Self-delusion? Or a murdered reality, unborn, killed by that corroding emotion without name – fear – need – dependence – hatred?

Roark stood before…

Three Posts on T21C

By Anthony Dream Johnson in The 21 Convention

T21C is not TDL, but, for those who have interest in my writing here, I recommend reading the following new posts on The21Convention.com (posted in and best read in sequential order).

Why T21C Footage is and Always Will Be 100% Free

The Plan for the Footage

The 21 Convention Defined

–Anthony/Dream

Ps– It is not unlikely that I will begin blogging more about “business stuff” on TDL, especially as it relates to my life situation as a college drop out (this relates to the first linked post). As for the defined post (third link), I will be expanding further in the future and getting in to more detail, since that post was a laying of foundations, not the finishing touch.
