Sometimes women can merely be housing the spirit of a man who was once mighty as a knight. She would still have that about her. Unfortunately my dear, you may find yourself in an interesting predicament a lifetime from now.

No, women do not have the physical build and are often distracted by the body and its workings so different from men.
Strong women should form appropriate orders consisting of other women. There is no competition. Women can never be as men.
But if you woke up in a different body, would you say use your knightly strength and power in a woman's body? Say you still perceived yourself as a man with strength and wit.
Imagine society would not allow this to be simply because you were in a female body..now. You would be very unhappy let me tell you. Also, western society seems to encourage women to come to take or borrow from men's status and power. Dangerous is the claim of women, to have their own order of power. This would and does get knocked down before it even gets a chance to be born..sorry, thinking like a woman again.

Thank You for your blog.

I have been most fascinated with the Templars over my lifetime. I've studied the subject deeply as well as many sects and religions. I understand your view and admire you for speaking your truth. Females were not at all like they are today. Now we are faced with the questions of the male role. To be quite honest, to protect a traditional order is almost imposible because we have evolved so much. Women wanted equality and "NOW" it's almost expected of them to strive brutaly to get what they want. The roles may eventualy change. In my own opinion...If we were 20 year earlier discussing this i may say "Yae", but I believe it would be to your advantage to alow strong women with valuble knowlege in such groups. We don't fight harder..but smarter. The crusades are over. Feel free to email me

It's always interesting to observe the thought processes of individuals regarding principles and positions which transcend time.

First of all, negativity is not necessary because it always distracts from our processing by encouraging an emotional response to defend -- and so begins the volley of emotions rather than intellect. Professionalism requires an individual to understand the underlying processes rather than depending on each page of the cookbook to survive -- that would more of a technician (they are good at arguing the words, but miss true comprehension or knowledge -- and as soon as a page is gone they don't know what to do).

Some would pose "women" as a dilemma. You don't resolve a dilemma by opposition or arguing -- you simply eliminate bias, and at that point we would typically all agree.

My point is that concrete thinking binds us to outdated and obsolete dispositions. By leaving our minds open and free from bias, we would likely agree that the capabilities underlying the Templars were their ability to maximize and improve on the state-of-the-art from all perspectives. Their rules were their best efforts to communicate a consistent state of being and for relating to each other, and their environment -- as time would pass, they would surely improve and update their rules relative to their knowlege and capabilities to maximize their resources for success in all areas.

Templars would surely evolve and stay ahead of the pack. That means they would boldly implement the most effective physical means, such as a Hummer rather than a horse. And just as they would improve their technical knowlege and physical control, so would they improve their cognitive processes and social complexity. After all, our own military has long begun the process to integrate the concept of "women" into most all aspects of their functions. So have our police and fire services -- most reacted with primative bias at the begining, but then awoke.

As a firefighter, my first emergency incident with "a girl" was a plaza fire which began with a fully involved tire store and was marching down the line. What I saw was simple -- as the firefighters worked, every single big strong firefighter had to come out to rest from fatigue, but the female firefighter was much better at pacing herself working at least twice as long as the others before needing a break. Needless to say -- no one ever felt anything less than respect for her from that time on.

Do we need to concern ourselves with inappropriate and primiative perspectives of women as knights? No, but it does give us an exercise to improve our thinking, reasoning skills, and problem solving capabilities.

Should we feel threatened by concrete thinkers? Certainly not -- as long as we foster a positive spirit and seek a brighter light the negativity and dark elements will cement themselves in the old school and they will eventually disappear or begin to evolve -- yet they should still be appreciated for trying the best given their cognitive and social limitations.

Respectfully,

Tom
