Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“How you handle being alone and what you do with the opportunities that freedom allows is the real measure of a man. If you’re single and 50 you STILL have options if you’re only brave enough to explore them. I know divorced men in their 50s who’re dating mid 30s women right now and I know men in their 60s who’ve been trapped and emotionally blackmailed by their wives for 30 years. Marriage is no insulation from the sexual marketplace.”
― Rollo Tomassi, The Rational Male

“For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are.”

― W.E.B. DuBois

“In his book on Western sexual morality, C. W. Lloyd says: "Augustine's writings have probably exerted more influence in the West on love and sexual practice than those of any other man. The clearest expression of the innate evil in sexual passion, even within marriage, is set forth.”
― Sholiach Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, The Rebirth Of Yisraelite Marriage: Torah Approved Lifestyles Restored

“So those who arrogantly, or ignorantly claim to have FULLY come out of the “church system,” yet cling to a belief in mandated state-church serial monogamy as the only valid marriage arrangement as practiced in the west, where there is no separation of church and state on this issue, sadly are still deceived; rather, both church and state are complicit, one with the other,”
― Sholiach Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, The Rebirth Of Yisraelite Marriage: Torah Approved Lifestyles Restored

“only the wealthy could afford the luxury of many wives.”
― Sholiach Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, The Rebirth Of Yisraelite Marriage: Torah Approved Lifestyles Restored

“Definitions By etymology poly-gamous marriage means “many marriages” (polus, many and gamos, marriage or wedding) and thus the functional meaning of patriarchal marriage in Western civilization has always been “plural marriage with many wives.” In other words, the husband is the polygynous and the wives are monogamous to him. Patriarchal marriage is not group marriage, which has a communal basis, nor polyamory ("many loves"), which consists of multiple sexual relationships”
― Sholiach Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, The Rebirth Of Yisraelite Marriage: Torah Approved Lifestyles Restored

“The Bible records forty-one men by name [**we have corrected this-its far more] with multiple wives, including three Gentile kings. At least half the men had more than two wives. The earliest recorded plural marriage was Lamech Gen. 4:19 [**we have corrected this in the first 2 chapters], six generations after Adam. Even though Lamech is the only polygynous identified before the global flood, there is no reason to believe that he was alone in that status.”
― Sholiach Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky, The Rebirth Of Yisraelite Marriage: Torah Approved Lifestyles Restored

“You mistake the stars reflected in the surface of the lake at night for the heavens.”

“Rising at 5 AM truly is The Mother of All Routines. Joining The 5 AM Club is the one behavior that raises every other human behavior. This regimen is the ultimate needle mover to turn you into an undefeatable model of possibility. The way you begin your day really does determine the extent of focus, energy, excitement and excellence you bring to it. Each early morning is a page in the story that becomes your legacy. Each new dawn is a fresh chance to unleash your brilliance, unprison your potency and play in the big leagues of iconic results. You have such power within you and it reveals itself most with the first rays of daybreak. Please do not allow past pains and present frustrations to diminish your glory, stifle your invincibility and choke the unlimited possibilitarian that lurks within the supreme part of you. In a world that seeks to keep you down, build yourself up. In an epoch that wishes you would stay in the dark, step into your light. At a time that mesmerizes you to forget your gifts, reclaim your genius. Our world requires this of each of us. To be champions of our crafts, warriors for our growth and guardians of unconditional love—for all of humankind.”

“everything happens for a reason, but it’s our responsibility to choose the reason.”
― Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life

“Developing a basic understanding of what’s often referred to as the mind-body connection (or what scientists call the “biopsychosocial paradigm”) has become increasingly useful as research continues to prove that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively or negatively affect our biological functioning. The brain and body are connected through neural pathways, and communication occurs via chemical and physical messengers, such as neurotransmitters and hormones. These messengers transmit signals between the body and the brain to control our everyday functions, from breathing, digestion, and pain sensations to heart rate, thinking, and emotions. This means that your thoughts and emotions are actually physical processes, and they have a meaningful effect on the systems in your body. However, you don’t need a scientific study to tell you that when you go to bed feeling stressed and overwhelmed, you typically wake up feeling stressed and overwhelmed.”
