This is as skewed a perspective in its own right, as the traditional patriarchal denigration of feminine energies that has been going on until relatively recently, and just as harmful.

Over the years since Dan Millman wrote his fantastically successful first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, thousands of readers have written to him asking for clarifications about the often cryptic spiritual truths found in it’s pages.
