  • Channel and Tell Yourself Uncomfortable Truths

    Part of being your own masculine counsel is channeling and telling yourself things that you don’t necessarily want to hear but you feel like you should. These are often uncomfortable truths that you’re resistant to even say out loud.

    Have the courage to say them. Take your personal red pills. It’s healthy for you.

    I think we often fear that an uncomfortable truth will invalidate everything we know, thus “killing” us (that’s how fear feels like). In my experience, such insights are usually half-truths which serve as counterbalance to that which you’re already embracing. You’ll be integrating them with the rest of your understanding that still has validity, and by taking them in, you get a fuller picture. It makes your mind more complete. So face your fear – you’re not going to “die”.

    But even supposing that a truth invalidated everything you know… Well, then all you “knew” wasn’t truth to begin with. So fuck it, kill it all with fire and don’t look back. Trust that you’ll be fine, because you really will be. You’ll be more alive than ever.

    Channel brutal personal truths and rejoice in accepting them. It’s the path to your mind’s integrity, health and wisdom.

  • Be Your Own Masculine Counsel

    Learn to remedy your energy through appealing to yourself from a position of wisdom and lightness. It’s about being your personal counsel, motivational speaker, cheerleader and wise masculine support.

    Try doing this when you’re feeling confused and lost. Enter the position of masculine counsel with the intention to: help yourself out, tell yourself what you need to hear (even if it’s harsh), enter a positive outlook on things and motivate yourself for action. Don’t give up if nothing comes up at first – channel this energy until the right perspective and advice arrive. Then tell it to yourself, either through speaking or writing. Do it until you feel more at peace.

    The way I do it is: When I feel lost and in need of masculine grounding, I go for a walk in the wood, I start a voice memo and I begin talking to myself from this masculine counsel position. Sometimes it takes a while to refine the advice – through talking and thinking more along the way, it becomes more clear what I really need to hear and what outlook I want to have on things. I continue talking until I feel like I’m calmer, lighter and more positive.

    Don’t shy away from being for yourself what you need. If you don’t have masculine advice readily available from a different person, give it to your system by yourself. It’s admirable to be energetically self-sufficient. Whatever energy you need, you can learn to fill yourself up with it on your own.

  • Face Your Death Repeatedly

    A man must face his death every once in a while in order to grow in life profoundly.

    There’s nothing like death that immediately brings to the surface what’s most meaningful to you. There’s nothing like it to light a fire under your ass.

    There’s two good and safe ways to face death:

    • Visualization. REALLY feel into the fact that you’re going to die, see it clearly in your mind’s eye. What comes up? Do you wish to do things differently in your life?
    • Psychedelics. When you go deep enough, you will face your death. It’ll be the real deal.

    Never cause any harm to your body. Don’t put yourself in real danger. And with psychedelics, do your research & be extremely responsible and cautious. Never do anything stupid that you’ll regret later.

  • A Man Must Feel Powerful

    You must feel influential to respect yourself as a man. You should have a distinct awareness of your power.

    Here’s a tip on how to work on that:

    • Have a list of action items that will make you feel powerful once you achieve them. I recommend small steps, not huge leaps. Focus on the reality of what you want – go for where energy really arises, what you’re really being guided towards.
    • Write a list of things you have done already in life that make you feel powerful.

    Confidence in your strength will come from the truth of your actions, how “cool” to you they were. Having a backlog of your achievements is key to self-assurance.

    You are Power incarnate. Live up to the name. Go kick some ass.

  • Put Your Mission Above the Relationship

    As a man, living your purpose is the most important. It’s more important than your relationship with a woman.

    If you feel otherwise, you will be weakened. You’re doing both of you a disservice. In truth, she wants you to focus on your mission and live your core anyway. If you’re prioritizing incorrectly, you’re really messing up everything in life – both your purpose and the relationship.

    Note 1: In line with the above understanding, don’t prioritize your mission for the sake of the relationship. Do it for the mission, REALLY. What do you want to be in life most? What do you want to actualize? Is it the most important thing for you truly? If not, then you don’t care enough! You’re spitting in the face of your True Self! Reevaluate your choices!

    Note 2: You will find a way to put women over your mission even if you’re single. Striving to live your core with a secret intent to get laid and impress future women you meet. I must admit, I found that motivation in myself. I think it’s not wrong per se, as long as your primary motivation is your masculine essence. Which for me I can honestly say it is.

  • Reality is a Woman (And Anything Else You Want)

    If you’re a man, here’s a life hack. Treat Reality like a Woman.

    Talk to Her like an equal. You are a Man – be a respectable partner. Say that you love Her, joke with Her, feel aroused by Her. Tell Her about your excitement, the inspiring work you’re doing – and if you aren’t doing it then own up to it, because you’re not giving Her your all. Treat Her like a serious lover. It’s factually true that She is your Only One – there’s just you and It, so take care of the relationship with Her.

    Of course, in times of heavy emotion and need you can always switch to a more childish position. When things feel too difficult, Reality can always turn into the Mother / Father. This is perfectly fine.

    Your relationship to Reality changes depending on how you relate to It in the moment. And you can always switch how you relate. There’s zero shame in that. You can be open to having a complex everything-relationship with Reality.

    If you’re a woman, you can treat Reality as a Man. Or you can see Reality as your Bro / Sis. Or even as your Child. Remember, Reality is your Everything! Find your preferred ways of relating and go along with them. Being the Infinite Mirror, Reality will simply reflect back.

  • Show Me What You Got

    You were given life. Now show me what you’re doing with it.

    You are an adult and a man. Don’t be afraid of being treated as such. When you have a purpose at your core, something you want to be doing, that is Reality throwing down the gauntlet to you. The correct way is to look it in the eye and accept the challenge. Live your core! Fulfill your mission! It’s difficult, but always worth it.

    You are loved unconditionally always, but at the same time: Earn your love, through giving your gift. You can do it. I have faith in you.

  • Live Your Masculine Core

    As a man, you need to be living out your highest purpose to be connected with yourself and masculinity.

    Do the thing you want to be doing in your heart. Give your gift to the world. For me, right now it’s setting up this blog and writing this post. What is it for you? You probably already have a sense, so start acting.

    Otherwise, you’ll be disconnecting from yourself and masculinity. The world and women around you will reflect that back to you. You don’t want that. It’s better to give your gift and live fully, and have the world mirror that passion.

    Living your masculine core is your priority. It’s your life, your mission, your potential. Don’t squander it.
