"Anam Cara refers to the Celtic spiritual belief of souls connecting and bonding. In Celtic Spiritual tradition, it is believed that the soul radiates all about the physical body, what some refer to as an aura. When you connect with another person and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together. Should such a deep bond be formed, it is said you have found your Anam Cara or soul friend. Your Anam Cara always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship, you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an Anam Cara friendship would help you to awaken your awareness of your own nature and experience the joys of others." http://www.basaltheritage.org/anamcaradesigns.com/meaningofaramcara.html

So let's talk about them seriously.

This is alarmist. Note that the discussion is now being directed to a scenario painted in the mind of a large man and small girl.

Because it implies that the purpose/meaning of their experience is to 'thin the herd'.

This still seems to negate their value as human.

When I was woman walking into a men's bathroom at a concert site I was watched over and protected - as anyone should be.

Resolution

This is what I meant with, 'it's not personal'.

People get upset here. The longer you stay the more you'll see. It isn't personal - even when it seems that way. Best wishes on your path.

Expansive

Genuine

In your experience.

Sometimes there is little room alotted for the receptive. In simple English, sometimes women's words and experience gets 'bulldozed' by wordy individuals who have not shared in such experience.

We are

In my experience those gray areas can be broken up with a shimmering light.

Compassion

Beautiful!

I am referring to gender roles. I am, in this moment, not soo interested in collective behavior.

I was speaking from personal experience regarding interpersonal interactions; not theorizing.

Ideally male/female energies balance each other, leading to harmonious interaction - on multiple levels. The cosmic dance..
