No doubt, you’ve heard the phrase “Battle of the Sexes”. We think it’s high time to for a ceasefire!

There seems to be a commonly held belief among humans that we are all in competition with one another. We seem to believe that there is general scarcity everywhere, and that we have to fend for ourselves and make sure we get our share of whatever we imagine we need. This attitude and belief system has been so strong that some groups (those who perceive themselves as stronger or more righteous) have gone so far as to create wars with others in order to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

This general attitude has created divisions among people, and nowhere is this more visible than in the apparent division between men and women. In western culture, we have referred to this as The Battle of the Sexes, as if men and women are actually at war with one another.

Men have been heard to say things like “Women...you can't live with them, and you can't kill them.”

Women have been heard to say things like “Men...50% testosterone and 100% stupid.”

While these kinds of statements may seem funny in certain contexts, in reality they are actually hurtful comments that do nothing to improve relations between the sexes. At Life Mastery TV, we believe that it’s time to put a stop to this kind of thinking and to begin to heal the rift that we have created between women and men. So, this week, David & Tommy have invited two incredible women, Audra Erwin and Kristen Richardson—both of whom you have met in previous webinars—to balance out a discussion that they hope will motivate the creation of a

Ceasefire of the Sexes

Our intention during this particular show is to shed some light on the kinds of judgments that we have about each other, because we believe that—even if we don’t speak them out loud—our unconscious thoughts have a powerful impact on how we show up and how we treat other people.

This episode promises to be edgy and powerful. But as always, Tommy & David will keep things fun and educational. So, mark your calendar and join us for another FREE webinar.

It’s so easy, isn’t it? To hold ourselves in high esteem and judge others. To call ourselves right and others wrong.

It’s so easy to sit up on our high, holy throne and cast judgment on anyone or anything that doesn’t meet our standards. To face this issue, which according to one book is called “original sin”, it helps to look at the last four words of the previous sentence.

Doesn’t meet our standards.

Here are some questions for you to ponder:

• Who gets to decide the standards for everyone?
• How does it serve us to think that we have a better idea of standards than anyone else?
• Who are we, with our limited mastery of anything, to hold others accountable to our ever-changing expectations and beliefs?

Perhaps you can begin to hear some of the lunacy laced into this logic; perhaps you can see the nonsense wrapped up in judgment. Some say it started long ago with an apple and a forewarning about the knowledge of good and evil. Wherever judgment came from, almost all of us are afflicted with the power of judgment. The proof is in the pudding of everything from gossiping to killing and war…all based on a head full of judgments:

• Right vs Wrong
• Good vs Bad
• Appropriate vs Inappropriate
• Acceptable vs Unacceptable

To be fair, we need to recognize that judgment is a necessary skill for navigating our way through the world. But we’re talking here about how we judge each other, and the damage it can cause.

But you know what? When we learn to let go of judging, life takes on a lighter, freer, more enjoyable dimension. Find out more about how to do this by checking in with David & Tommy in this week’s episode!
