LESSONS IN MACHISMO
If you Machismo is in check then the length of this page should not intimidate you. The following are a few of very important lessons in Machismo.
ALPHA MACHISMO
The above image is an example of Machismo being used to reaffirm
the hierarchy of a group or in this instance, a family. The subject
of the image presents her Machismo to the rest of the group. The other
members of the family observe her Machismo and begin to prepare themselves
for their own displays.
The dog, knowing that he cannot challenge the subject's overwhelming command
of Machismo, is forced to look away out of respect.
FOREIGN MACHIMSO
The above image is an example of Foreign Machismo. Even though Machismo
is derived from the Spanish language, it is not strictly a Spanish characteristic.
It is true that the Spanish have an unparalleled mastery of this power but
Machismo is, in its essence, an unspoken universal language of respect and
intimidation.
MACHISMO MERGING
The above image is a wonderful example of what can happen when two people,
in great control of their personal Machismo, combine to achieve a higher
level of Machismo. There is strength in numbers, but prior to engaging
in Machismo merging one should also remember that merging only works with
even numbers. This is covered in the next lesson.
ODD NUMBERS & LONG DISTANCE MACHISMO
The above image is a perfect example of two great lessons in Machismo.
The first being that Machismo merging only works in even numbered
groups. The nature of Machismo dictates that in an odd-numbered
group, one person must assume the role of alpha.
The second lesson is that Machismo knows no distance.
In the above scene the older man is set farther to the back of the shot
but his machismo is so strong that even from his recessed position he
is able to overpower the photo. His skills in Machismo projection are
unmatched by those of his counterparts.
POWER OF ONE & A CHILDS MACHISMO
We can come away with two great lessons from the above photo. The first
lesson being that a child’s Machismo can be extremely strong
but it can also be very volatile. So as long as it is practiced in a supervised
environment the Machismo rituals can be a very important part of a child’s
development.
The second important lesson to pull away from this image is that one
person's Machismo can be stronger than that of the group. As is evident
by the above photo, the young lady's Machismo is in such good form that
it is too much for most of the group to handle. She will grow to be a
very powerful and respected woman.
POWER OF MACHISMO TRUE AND FALSE
Machismo is a very powerful tool, but please don’t fool yourself
into believing that it can give you magical powers such as flight.
It may seem that the young man in the above photo posesses the ability
to fly, but he can not. His Machismo is just like everybody else’s;
the seemingly tangible manifestation of intimidation and respect. The
perpetuation in the belief of superhuman ability being derived from Machismo
does nothing but insult the very idea of Machismo.
MACHISMO ABUSE
Always remember: everyone has Machismo, but without the
proper training your gift could very quickly become your curse.
Using your Machismo is like any other skill it takes time and practice.
