How to Resurrect your Masculine Essence

Thread

The vast majority of men have deviated from their inherent masculine spirit; this is a consequence of corrupt conditioning, feminized culture and the general disharmony within and between the sexes.

As a result, looking beyond your flawed programming is not easy, ignorance often eliminates this possibility and to confront the deprived truth is harsh and painful.

The first step to detaching yourself from corruption is through acknowledgement and being aware of your insufficiency, before anything else.

Awareness is a form of acceptance and to overcome your inner division, you must come to terms with it.

Secondly, you must develop a sense of openness and curiousity.

This openness and curiousity is the remedy for ignorance and gives you the chance to consider alternate views that contradict yours.

Without openness, you will not be able to inquire and discover.

Now, if you understood that, you can start to realize, gradually, all that is dysfunctional and start to reflect on it.

Masculinity is not what they told you it is.

It requires a vigorous reform of your values, beliefs and character.

This reform starts with your character and value structure;

1. Educate yourself on what it means to be a man, study the early stoics and the classical texts of the greek emperors, they understood it better than most people today.

2. Discover your life’s work and devote your time and energy to mastering your craft, making it your ultimate venture and being utterly committed to its supreme cultivation.

3. You must give your life structure and implement the essential practices of what it means to be a man; a clean diet (rich in protein and fats), a physical sport (ie. martial arts and iron), meditation, reading and a few bold hobbies.

4. You must be committed to cultivating your inherent qualities through diligent study and application; dignity, honour, order, rationality, discipline and aggression.

These should be further cultivated while refining your weak points.

5. Commit yourself to deliberate confrontation with your fears to strive with circumstance and accelerate your growth through consistent and persistent experience.

6. Masculinity is action, order and discipline.

Remember these two words; self-restraint and persistence.

The former to rid you of impulsive pleasure and preserving honour, the latter to endure hardship and triumph.
