IceDragon - Time For Deeper, More Cerebral Change

June 17, 2009 by Adonis 

ice-dragonI’m started to change the way I look at things, and I have been for a while.

I have changed the term ‘pickup artist’ to ‘human interactions practitioner’, and I was barraged by complaints guys on another forum for saying this, as the wanted to maintain the status quo and remain in their comfort zone. Would be interesting to see how many girls they approached today.

So, I thought I’d make my point and give my reasons for this shift in thinking.

It’s very easy to conform by keeping your head below the parapet, and sticking with the same mental attitude we’ve had for years.

But, I’ve never conformed in the past, and I’m not about to start now.

I’ve been having a series of very deep conversations with a couple of my friends who are professional NLP practitioners, and doing some heavy fieldwork with them, and I guarantee you, their ability to connect with a woman is far higher than most people in this ‘community’. And I’ve ’sarged’ with a lot of guys in this community. It’s like comparing a kick-about in the park to club level football.

Why? Because they are in the field of human behavior and influence. Keyword HUMAN. Not woman, no Approach Anxiety bullshit.

Just one human being intensely connecting with another on a cerebral level.

Think about it for a minute, approach anxiety, closing anxiety and all the other ‘invented’ setbacks are then gone, because instead of thinking about what you can get from the girl, you are thinking about what you can give her. I know people have tried to say this before but it all sounds kinda hollow if you’re approaching a ’set’ and trying to ‘pick her up’ before ‘closing her’. All element of selfishness is eliminated when one human is connecting with another human being, on equal, respectful terms.

I have spent well over a decade training in the martial arts at a very high level, meditation and recently rediscovered my passion for Kriya Yoga (no, it’s not lycra clad western women stretching and drinking herbal tea), which is the universal truth that we are all bound together with the same fabric. Oneness with yourself and the cosmos. How many people today are emotionally balanced? (look at the record stress levels, heart disease, cancer, financial greed in today’s society). How many people in today’s society are conscious? How many people have the vision to make a real change in their own lives and of their loved ones? How many people today are so in touch with their own minds and conscious awareness that they can even attempt to understand the deep complexities of another person’s mind?

We have to set the goal of self-actualization, which very few people will ever achieve - compared to this universal truth, the word ‘pickup artist’ is an insult. We are all human beings, first and foremost, and we all have an element of the divinity within us - I intend on respecting that, and that includes women.

This kind of stuff is the grandfather of Tolle, in fact, light years beyond him. Who the hell is Eckhart Tolle? You can’t learn this from reading a book (sorry, Mr. Tolle). It takes years of practical experience of living through moments of fear discomfort, pain, tears, finally a sense of peace and presence. Or at least a knowledgeable mentor to guide you. Once you understand this, it will all become clear, but let me warn you, it takes years and years to ‘get it’. You have to engage every single cell in your being, despite your body, mind and spirit screaming in agony. Sorry if this is unpalatable, but it is the truth you will have to face up to. This is the stuff RSD will never tell you and cannot tell you, simply because they do not understand, let alone have the ability to teach it.

I want to raise the bar in this community and improve the social/mental/physical/psychological awareness of as many guys as I can. I also want to improve myself on many levels, and if any way of thinking is holding me back, I’m going to discard it.

In time you’ll see that the new ‘acronym’ or whatever you want to call it is far more apt than ‘pickup artist’. The more I hear that word, the more underground and sleazy it sounds. One word is not a big deal, but it’s a start in a shift in thinking.

Even a one degree turn on a ship will ultimately lead to an entirely new destination.

I do not wish to associate with ‘pickup’ any more, and if it sounds stupid to some people sitting behind a keyboard, then I think the price is worth paying in the long run.

Best wishes
