With the technology and automation of our world, our human nature remains fully intact. The constant question on my heart is what is the ultimate harmony that can be achieved between men and women and how do we get there? We explore culture, history, society, evolutionary psychology, biology, religious and spiritual teachings, and more.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T08:20:34.931108+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ancient-intelligence-5318323"},"episode":{"title":"#131 | True Love or Filling a Void?","slug":"131-true-love-or-filling-a-void","published_at":"2026-02-09T17:31:56+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ancient-intelligence-5318323/131-true-love-or-filling-a-void","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ancient-intelligence-5318323","url":"https://anyashakh.com/ancientintelligence/truelove","audio_url":"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6123d66ce9ff1c16c5e76af3/t/698a1b6150c35b3f4663cb60/1771262777606/Copy+of+EP+131+%28Audio%29.mp3","summary":"In this episode I dive into a teaching that can help us understand the difference between solid and sturdy love versus insecure attachment (or filling a void). In the midst of the gender discourse, conversations about love and humanity can get skipped over. There is a foundational human-ness that exists in men and women that is found through trust, respect, and appreciation that must exist first. Then we can layer the masculinity and femininity conversations on top of this. Listen in to learn about where most modern relationships go wrong, the two human souls, how healing works, where masculine and feminine energy comes in, why the Sound of Music is a great example of true love in film, and much more.
