Chapter 35 The First Level of a Woman: Spiritual Responses

Women also experience these four levels, but, as we discussed earlier, in a different order.Women are first attracted to the ideas of men.A woman wonders "what a man this is," and is attracted to something about his character.It might be the most common "I'm sorry," or a casual smile from him, or it might be his shy courage to ask her out.It could be a song he hums to her tenderly, a letter he writes, an exchange of thoughts, a walk with his dog, a tease with a child, an understanding of others, or a stand for his beliefs.More likely it was the questions he asked, the way he got ahead, or the value system he lived by.All of the above are ways a man expresses his character.It is the man's occasional outpouring of character that awakens a woman's self-awareness and makes her know "who she is".

For a woman, at the lowest level of discernment, it is the spirit of man that attracts her.She will find that there are many interesting men out there, but she desperately needs to sharpen her discernment, and she needs to date only the men she is most interested in.Just as men with low discernment want to date the sexy beauties they see in magazines, women at this level want to date men only found in romance novels.Women with low discernment, like men, are ignorant and must grow up.
