Gender Vs Race, Hillary Vs Obama

Women, it seems to me, are our own worst enemies.
We gossip and bitch about each other, compete with each other for men’s attention and favors, stand in the way of each other's success, amongst other things.
Look at what’s happening in the current United States of America’s Democratic nomination process.

What’s wrong with Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee?
Why aren’t the women of America supporting her?
Listening to some of the opinions and interviews on cable turns my stomach.
“Hillary is so oo ambitious, she wants to win so oo badly …” and it’s taken against her by voters of her own gender. And color.

Barrack Obama isn’t ambitious?
Barrack doesn’t want to win so oo badly?
How come it’s ok for a man to be ambitious and wanting to win so badly and it’s not ok for a woman?
Why aren’t American women supporting the bid of someone trying to be the first woman President of the United States of America?

We, in Asia, know Oprah Winfrey as the black American worldwide syndicated daytime talk show host who highlights women's issues on her shows.
Would she have been as popular with us if she were a man?

Oprah is African American and I understand she chooses to support race over gender (regardless of the reasons she gives in supporting Barrack), that she sees it more important in her timeline that the color barrier is broken first and not the gender barrier.
What of the non blacks in America and the rest of the world?

I’m Asian, Chinese, but I am a woman first.
To me, when a soul is born, the first factor is whether it’s going to be an XX chromosome baby or an XY chromosome baby.
Race, culture, religion, follow later.

To me, wherever one is born in the world, whatever the race, culture or religion, the first barrier that has to be broken is the gender barrier.
So when I follow the American elections, I can’t help but feel that Hillary is being let down by her own gender.
I'd go as far as to say that women are letting themselves down by not throwing their support behind this first woman potential President of the United States of America.

I mean, if Hillary is going to get beaten down, it should be the Republicans who stand in her way, not her own Democrat party women folk.
Imagine, white Republican men would rather have a black Democrat male than a white Democrat female in the White House.
Does anyone know of a Republican woman, black or white, who would vote for Hillary over any man running, black or white?

Never mind Oprah, she’s a black woman who has broken the gender and race barrier in her own industry and country and it’s apparent she now feels the race issue more keenly than the gender issue.
But come on, you other women out there, what’s wrong with you?
If you have to fault Hillary, fault her for something other than gender bias.
Judge her on merits, give her a fair chance, don’t be your own worst enemy.

Qs and As

Today, a young gal pal, well, she is 22 to my 52, asked me if she has the “right to be righteous and furious” with boys who are irresponsible with time and have bad manners.
I replied it depends on how she sees herself in the script of her life.
If her life is a life story and she is the author, how would she have her character respond, hold herself and be?
I urged her to write her own script, empower herself, adding she doesn’t have to play the victim if she doesn’t want to.

Then she asked “why are boys such a letdown?”
I replied souls take turns to be male, female, other (?), to experience giving, taking, doing wrong, being wronged, the whole gamut of emotions.
I said we are women for a reason, guys are males for a reason and we are all spirits having a human experience.
How we live the experience is a test of the health of our spirit.
People who do not behave well are poor in spirit and that’s their problem not ours yet they contribute to making life suck more than it needs to.
I told her not to focus on the messengers but to focus on the messages, what is the human state teaching spirit?

We can control our state of mind (feel good or bad) with our thoughts.
We can think ourselves into any state, independent of others’ actions.
We have to emphasize on action, not reaction.

I’m not a trained counselor in the mould of a social worker.
I tried talking to a couple of those but they could not help me so I turned to Metaphysics and Astrology and that helped so I use both to guide people who can’t find answers to their problems the conventional way.
I think Astrology is to psychological counseling what alternative medicine is to healing.
I use uncommon sense and experience to come up with answers to move myself and others forward.

Next, I might tell you about what I’m doing to create a support system for people who do not have recourse to the usual social networks.
This support system will work as efficiently as the people who are involved will allow.
This network will work as far as the people’s evolvement will allow.
Let’s see what the people are ready for, shall we?

Or I might decide to tell you instead about my transition from caring that
I'm 52 and not wanting to tell the world I'm 52 when I look 42 and to the present when I tell people my age even when they don't need to know.
In other words, I don't care anymore.

mEinah says Hello again

A new year, a new blog spot.
About time too.
People who know me from astrologyTOMORROWtoday wonder why I haven't been updating my website for about two years.
Yes, I have been busier than usual but I still would have updated the att site had I known how to do it with Microsoft FrontPage.

The person who designed the new look astrologyTOMORROWtoday used FrontPage and I thought it would not be difficult to master FrontPage so that I could continue to maintain the site like I used to with the old Tripod site.

Alas, the task proved to be more challenging than I could handle so when I couldn't find a part-time webmaster, I abandoned the site to go forward with this blog instead.

I'm going to use this blog to keep in touch with all who are still interested in what mEinah of astrologyTOMORROWtoday is up to these days.

This is the first of what I intend to be, many postings.

See you all next time,
