A primal assertive force presides within each of us, equivalent to the excitation indicated by an erect phallus, and stirred into expression by the imminence of new experience, into which we feel to inject an initiative. Those of us, who have watched the sun rise, know how all-pervasive and compellingly pure this feeling can be. We feel powerful, even in the face of the absolute life-giver.

Naively, we show our joyful exuberance by showing off our fine feathers, tying streamers to a party hat which catches the wind, so we are noticed and seen to be filled with life force.

In this mood we enter relationships with those around us and are ready to engage with any and all of the possible variations and novelties that humanity throws up.

We come to realise that we can utilise all life experiences, all kinds of interactions and involvements, to the benefit of all concerned, simply by having sensitivity and responding positively to the potential in all situations.

Every scenario is new; each moment has its own dawn, its own birthing of potential – and the one who sees it first can claim it, and integrate much of the great force of its life energy into their growing expression of self.

It does not serve to posture or pretend, because a false interest or involvement leads to unhelpful kickback. The required commitment is an absolute, unconditional assertiveness – half-hearted warriors die.

At its highest level, this person can find the underlying trend, and actually see it as their life purpose, to which they are able to offer complete and unconditional cooperation in every moment.
