A new philosophy for men.

Humans are defined by their choices.

Every day you're faced with them.

Categorically, you can divide these choices into actions that either yield to life-furthering values or life-negating ones.
A life-furthering value is any form of pursuit that gives you & greater society, growth.

It adds meaning to life through purpose & significance, where at the end of the journey,

you look back at the positive difference you made on society as an individual.
A life-negating value stems from choices made out of sheer desire that ends up harming us &/or the greater society, for the purpose of fulfilling a certain urge,

whether its greed, lust, glut, or any of the other sins.
A pattern emerging across time, is that life-furthering values are achieved by delaying gratifications.

It repetitively forces us to suffer now, if we want to achieve anything of significance later.

Its clear, to obtain life-furthering values, we must negotiate with the future.
Its also clear that seeking gratifications now will lead to life-negating values.

Any desire we want to fulfil now, happens to rob us of our future.

We are left with nothing. No significance. No meaning.
So a fundamental question is to ask yourself,

how strong you are in suppressing your desires?

Since the suppression of your desires determines the trajectory you'll be on in seeking life-furthering or negating values.
Ask yourself whether the suppression of your desires NOW, is worth the sacrifice to live a life you can be proud of.

To make it worthwhile, you need an apex value - an ambition worth sacrificing everything for.

It'll be the measure of your worth on this earth.
If you do want to live a life to be proud of, then you will be forced to confront your desires & suppress them.

You will sacrifice to forgo all gratifications in pursuit of your life-furthering apex value.

You transformation will be transcendent in suffering.
All that heightens growth & power is found in suffering.

And if there’s power in suffering, then we should suffer maximally to obtain the height of power.

The more we self-impose our own slavery, the closer we get to our apex value.
Everything around you will stop making sense to indulge in.

Friends, parties, hangouts. Everything will cease to matter.

Your path becomes clear. You dominate your desires.

You are no victim, you are no longer part of the masses.
You will look at your family & channel the desire for abundance.

You will look at your line of work, & develop the ambition to ascend.

You will look at your friends & drop those that announce as obstacles.

And you will seek those who are aligned.
You will look at women & filter out the undesirables to pinpoint the one worthy of carrying your children.

Your purpose will be bigger than a woman, and so you will end up becoming her purpose.

You align together for an aim far beyond passion & lust.
You will be driven by integrity, by character, by ambition.

You can see through shiny surfaces that try & lure in your desires but fail to.

Your life starts to form into your own making. Your own dictation.
A brand new belief system will be born out of you.

The choice of your life-furthering values will make you escape moral obedience and embrace to become an amoral man of integrity.

A provider. A protector. A predator.

Integrated Shadow.
Choose life-furthering values.

Find an apex value & suppress your desires.

Develop character & integrity.

Self-impose your own slavery to transcend.

Look back & be proud of the difference you made.

A man worthy of life.
