Men Stepping Into Their Masculinity | Exploring Our Spirituality
This episode asks the big questions; what drives us, inspires us, and makes us push for more than just our basic needs to be met? So please sit back, turn on your black light and get deep with us.
My guest is J. Malik, a spiritual teacher, author, and speaker who emphasizes the importance of spiritual alignment in our careers, relationships, and finances. His mission is to empower men (and women) to develop healthy and prosperous relationships.
His personal journey of spiritual development inspired him to share his insights as a mystic and teach others the 'science and math' of spirituality often lost in modern religion. Malik advocates for men to embrace their masculinity, leadership, and success so that women can be safe to operate in their femininity and creative flow and not from survival mode.
We discuss widening the possibilities within the man box and dig into the alleged privileges of being male. Our conversation explores the danger of group identities and separation and the gifts of discipline, brotherhood, and men inspiring other men to be better.

hear from many men that the last
few years they feel like
8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
masculinity is under attack in
some way.
9
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,200
They're not sure how to act.
They don't know what's expected
10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,800

These men feel like being a man
11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,000
is somehow wrong.

And feel Malik, thank you for
having me.
24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,400
I'm ready to get it down to the
Meat potatoes, awesome.
25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,200
So I really want to ask have you
always been interested in
26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,300
spirituality and mystical
subjects?
27
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:27,400
Yes, always like intrigues me, I
think more than anything, it's
28
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,600
seeing real world problems and
then looking at the root of
29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,800
those problems and and saying
like, hmm.
30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,900
That's not a surface level
solution, you can find for that.
31
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:40,600
There's a deep spiritual root to
that's always kind of see
32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,100
problems.
And I say hmm, the answer today
33
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,500
is spiritual was not Material.
We have to get that spiritual
34
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,800
root to even address the surface
up with things.
35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,400
So and is that true for every
problem?
36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Virtually.
I mean I haven't I haven't come
37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,200
across any like a human problem.
That doesn't get at some point
38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,200
to the root of spirituality.
Even, it's just from a sense of
39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,500
morality or motivation.
Inspirational words that come
40
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,000
from and there's something
always balancing between like
41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,400
what is our spirit moving us to
do?
42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,100
So it's what I'm saying at least
in my experience with people is
43
00:02:16,108 --> 00:02:19,000
just like, there's something in
the spiritual place that may be
44
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,500
blocking or hindering that that
for progression.
45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,000
So tell me a bit about your
upbringing, were you raised in a
46
00:02:25,008 --> 00:02:27,200
very spiritually aware
environment?
47
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,900
My family is like super
spiritual, I have different
48
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:38,600
religions in my family grew up
like reading a lot of different
49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,700
material.
As I got older.
50
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:47,300
I started exploring and ventured
off into different religious and
51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,800
I probably stayed over 100
different religions by the time
52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,200
I was 22 and just really just
diving into trying to find what
53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,300
is the common root?
What's the common ground?
54
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,400
We can all find and hold.
And why do we continue creating
55
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,300
these ideas about the spiritual
with the infinite.
56
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,800
Like there's something to this
that hasn't stopped since human
57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600
as Humanity have started.
It's still happening.
58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,300
Now we're trying to find this
deeper meaning.
59
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:17,700
Again it's always compelled me.
So I've had support in that
60
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:21,100
because my coming so spiritual
but also just like able to walk
61
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,200
my own walk-in really kind of
find quote-unquote answers for
62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,900
myself and then seeing that in
the the real world and kind of
63
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:30,500
share those same things with
others.
64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,000
Do you think it is possible for
a man to really connect a known
65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600
his masculinity without also
connecting and owning his
66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,500
spirituality?
I think it's very, very
67
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,800
difficult and it's interesting
because I know atheist, right?
68
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:57,000
And they don't consider
themselves as collect something
69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,600
deeper or in a spiritual aspect,
but I would And those
70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,800
conversation to describe it.
It's very much, a esoteric
71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,300
principle of like their
intrinsic motivations.
72
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,400
It's not just a logical basting
where it's there.
73
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,800
Something internal within all of
us and what do we call it
74
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200
spirituality?
Whether you call it inspiration,
75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,899
whether we call it, your inner
being, whatever it is, there
76
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:25,900
something to a man that his
masculinity driving him?
77
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,800
What something is driving you
beyond just your material needs
78
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,600
because If that was the case,
all men would just stop there.
79
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:36,600
Who just stop it.
We're have enough to eat.
80
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,200
We have enough shelter, but
there's something about us to
81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,300
have the creative spirit.
That says, it's time to innovate
82
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:45,400
time to create.
It's time to build and I think
83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600
it's hard to be at a high level
without being connected to the
84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
intrinsic value of yourself.
Right?
85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
I get that.
So yeah, if we were just this
86
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,800
bag of Flesh and there was no
other Force besides us then,
87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,700
yeah, we'd there.
And eventually they'd be enough.
88
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:00,000
We wouldn't people would be
always searching for more or Y
89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,500
or try to understand things.
And from my own experience.
90
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,900
So when I was younger, I was, I
was not raised in a house with
91
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:10,500
any sort of religion, so I
thought that made me an atheist
92
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,200
and then I often thought that.
And but so I've come to realize
93
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,100
that yeah.
Regardless of your belief, it
94
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:18,100
doesn't change the fact that you
are a spiritual being.
95
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,400
Yeah.
Yeah, cool.
96
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,500
That's, that's interesting to
see if they'd like they're so
97
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,100
much about theism that there's
so many ideologies across the
98
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:32,600
board as far as monotheism
polytheism pantheism pain in
99
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,700
theism there.
It's all still trying to find
100
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:37,800
this common thing that we can
connect.
101
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,700
You is says there.
Something that has a higher
102
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:45,500
energy or a higher intelligence
or a higher influence than the
103
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,300
individual human.
I think for the most part
104
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:50,100
everyone agrees with that,
right?
105
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,000
Even if someone who was like,
Atheist names, like a stew
106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,200
science.
Like, well there's some
107
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,600
scientific Force that's
happening beyond your control.
108
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,000
And so it's we all can recognize
this energy that's beyond us and
109
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,600
I like working with the simple
things as far as we can.
110
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,500
All agree on that thing.
We all can't believe the same
111
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:11,200
thing that what you tell
yourself about that?
112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,700
We're stories.
You have about that chicks
113
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:14,800
playing it.
That's everyone's perogative,
114
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,300
right?
That's just part of the human
115
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:19,100
story to create stories to
understand things.
116
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:23,600
But if we all understand in the
feeling of being driven by
117
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,300
something Beyond us, that's
that's what's most important.
118
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:30,100
Yeah, I keep finding that,
especially quantum physics
119
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,600
science in general is catching
up with spirituality keeps
120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,200
proving more and more and No,
the best scientists realizes
121
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,900
that they don't know everything
and so science keeps expanding
122
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,200
learning more.
And yeah, I just be a catching
123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
up as opposed to uh so people
that say oh he's to be proven by
124
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,200
science like well, great, if you
can wait a few hundred years to
125
00:06:48,207 --> 00:06:50,900
have all you want to believe
proven or you can just accept it
126
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:54,900
or, you know, some people like
well you know what, if the
127
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,700
spiritual aspect was true, would
that change how you live day to
128
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:01,100
day?
Yeah, yeah.
129
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,200
That's I'd like that thing of
like science catching up this
130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,300
bridge.
I think spirituality of science
131
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,700
that has yet to be explained.
Mmm, all the spiritual energy,
132
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:16,300
we talk about metaphysics and
how wife is formed?
133
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:18,800
They need.
It's interesting how the
134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,600
scientific world is.
It's a mirror.
135
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,500
You know, it's like the esoteric
and exoteric coming into form at
136
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,800
the same time, then we have this
new Enlightenment and all of a
137
00:07:27,808 --> 00:07:31,500
sudden you also have new things
and engineering technology.
138
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:33,600
Any time in history.
Look at you.
139
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Look back.
When there was a A great Spurt
140
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,700
of spirituality or new
Consciousness to the to the
141
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:41,800
people, there was always new
advances scientifically or
142
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
technology-based and when that
same space now we're introducing
143
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,700
Quantum Computing, and AI
intelligence and machine
144
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:50,200
learning.
All these things are coming in a
145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800
form and they're here to help
facilitate the new spiritual
146
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,500
energy is going to be understood
maybe in 100 200, 500 years.
147
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:00,900
But to your point it's already
here is already true.
148
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:03,800
This we had to have the science
to understand it which may check
149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,300
us you know.
A lagging indicator behind what
150
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:08,800
actually true spiritually, which
is why we have to have faith
151
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,500
because we're given things that
you can't yet understand.
152
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:16,000
So it's just like, hey you can
accept it or reject this but
153
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:19,200
it's more easy.
You just take it in now and let
154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,500
the science play out because it
will but just a matter of time,
155
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,000
you know?
Yeah, I love that.
156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,300
I've never heard of that.
That term lagging indicators
157
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,100
pair.
Yeah humanity is a lagging
158
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:33,000
indicator to the kind of the big
picture, it seems but hopefully
159
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,299
that even that as You know, as
the rate of change and
160
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:38,000
Technology keeps speeding up
fast and faster.
161
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,100
Hopefully, our Awakening and our
awareness, our Consciousness is
162
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:44,600
doing the same That's, that's
the Gap, right?
163
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,100
Yeah.
What are some specific things
164
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:51,600
that that you see keeping men
from embracing their masculinity
165
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,500
and kind of who they truly are?
That's a tough one.
166
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,600
That's a big one on a collective
level.
167
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:07,400
I would say We have this.
Lacking energy behind of the
168
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,200
last 50 years.
Last 100 years.
169
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,300
Like, stepping into adulthood as
we mad.
170
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,800
You don't necessarily
consciously know that you're
171
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,600
absorbing so much energy that
has nothing to do with you.
172
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,400
You're observing culture.
That's been formed as you were
173
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,500
getting older, you just you get
thrusted into it.
174
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,600
For the last 100 years, we've
had a real Dynamic chain between
175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,200
masculine and feminine men, and
women, gender roles, gender,
176
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,300
identity.
All these things are kind of
177
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,700
Becoming less stable more fluid
and there's questions around
178
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:51,200
things, there's people wanting
to destroy some aspects of some
179
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
things.
There's a lot of confusion.
180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,200
We're not going to great gray
area right now.
181
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:00,300
And so if you were a young man
who's being born to the society
182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,700
and versus maybe a hundred years
ago where What was expected of
183
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,900
you as a man was very, very much
told you, it's like, this will
184
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,100
be expect of you.
We're going to prepare you for
185
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,800
this.
So when you get of age, you
186
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,000
understand what you have to do
and move forward.
187
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,700
Now because of the cultural
shifts their culture dynamics,
188
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:25,000
that have happened that almost
say like, hey, we don't really
189
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:27,400
need men.
Are we don't want men to be any
190
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,900
situation, we want, women should
have more power and we can say
191
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:35,100
that's all fine and dandy.
The issue is, when it comes to
192
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,600
You know.
Partnering up or are choosing a
193
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,900
mate.
There are still things that are
194
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:46,000
Primal like wire and women to
want certain aspects of
195
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,200
masculinity.
And there are certain aspects of
196
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,400
men who look for certain aspects
of femininity.
197
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:57,000
And if you don't prepare men,
You put them in situations where
198
00:10:57,008 --> 00:11:01,400
there are prepared in mating and
that is causing so much friction
199
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,000
to the gender identity and
gender roles.
200
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:10,000
And so you still have some of
the base, things, like sex food,
201
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
like our Primal, neither still
there.
202
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,900
So I'm unprepared, I still have
the same Primal needs.
203
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:24,400
And I have a culture that is
becoming more sexually liberated
204
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400
or in exclusive.
Then you thrust me into a sexual
205
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,100
marketplace, where sex is a
coping mechanism and that just
206
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:37,700
goes down another Rabbit Hole of
like, okay, well, this is, you
207
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:42,600
know, the base of manhood is, is
fatherhood, you know,
208
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,600
essentially like fatherhood is
essentially being a husband, a
209
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,700
father, the The two most
important job that man has.
210
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:53,300
And then if we're not prepared
for those things then it's not
211
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:56,600
that, it's not only that you're
not prepared for fatherhood or
212
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:59,500
to be a husband, it's that the
lack of preparation leads you,
213
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:01,900
to other things that you would
normally be doing if you were
214
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:04,100
preparing for husbandry and
fatherhood.
215
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:10,900
So it leads to addictions, and,
and dark vices, and just a dark
216
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,000
Road.
And by the time, someone can,
217
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,400
maybe try to figure out their
path or their way, There are so
218
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,800
many men who are being
displaced, not just financially
219
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,000
but mentally emotionally because
then life gets harder, you know,
220
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,600
like this and get easier, the
more burdens we get.
221
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,900
And so manhood is a burden that
is you know, meant to be a
222
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:34,900
journey that you're climbing and
you're getting better and
223
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:37,700
getting better but the burden
doesn't stop if you're not
224
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:39,800
getting better.
So there are a lot of men who
225
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,500
are facing more burden and they
haven't gotten better and they
226
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:43,900
haven't been trained how to get
better.
227
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,600
So it's like and then but
they're hearing from people.
228
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:50,100
People from women and other men
as well, like, hey, you gotta
229
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,200
get better and like no one ever
taught me how to get better.
230
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,600
How do I know how if, no one
ever told me?
231
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400
And I all I've heard growing up
is, we don't need men to do
232
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,600
this.
You'll need me to do this and I
233
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,200
brought with me, do everything.
I don't understand why I'm
234
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,200
confused.
I'm lost, doesn't make sense.
235
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,800
A lot of men are struggling with
that.
236
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,000
Like what do you want from me
kind of thing, right?
237
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Yeah, and this culture we don't
have any sort of initiation so
238
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,600
we have all sorts of children in
adult bodies.
239
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:21,300
Units really to the detriment of
all of us but talking about how
240
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,200
it, you know, Pat prior
Generations.
241
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,000
It was very clear.
Men were told what was expected
242
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,400
and it was this really narrow
container often I've ever been
243
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,400
called a called, you know, the
man box and as we grow up and
244
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600
want to even men to want to push
those walls down and be more.
245
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,200
And I don't want to just be
stoic.
246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,700
I don't want to keep everything
inside of me.
247
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,600
I don't want to just be.
I'm the breadwinner.
248
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,600
And that's all so many
traditional male jobs are being
249
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,900
on the Frontline for traumas.
And for troubles and it's almost
250
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,100
as if men were considered more
disposable than women.
251
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Yes.
So I think that falling away is
252
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,000
great, but and what it means is
that, that man box, word means
253
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,300
be man keeps growing and growing
getting wider.
254
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,000
And to me it doesn't mean that
the old roles aren't wrong
255
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
anymore that you're just more
than that.
256
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,700
Yeah but I think some of the the
confusion the Distortion is so
257
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,300
it's not it's not right to be a
strong silent man.
258
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:16,100
It's not right to be the chief
Breadwinner like no, it's fine,
259
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,300
but you're more.
Within that.
260
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:23,000
Yeah, it's expansion Exodia.
It's and it's also to a point
261
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,700
and I hope it's a lot.
It's just that we live in a
262
00:14:25,708 --> 00:14:29,200
different time period as well.
Like the things that men had to
263
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,100
do work for that time period, is
that?
264
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:33,800
Anyway, they're going to be
things that we have to do even
265
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,700
like right now as like a more
Tech based society, there are
266
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:40,400
still so much infrastructure
that's going to be built in the
267
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,700
next 100 years that the men of
Tomorrow will not have to worry
268
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:47,000
about both because we built it
technology but we're in the
269
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,100
space to build that because
there are so much interest
270
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:52,000
already built and other areas
that we will have to do where
271
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,400
this farm land, whether it's
Logistics systems, all these
272
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,500
things are set up, every
generation of men set up some
273
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:04,000
kind of foundation for the next
and you know, they're some of
274
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,800
those old traditional roles are
tied to things of the previous,
275
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,400
you know, foundation and some of
those things translate over.
276
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,500
But a lot of things that men
have to do 200 years ago.
277
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:19,400
We have to worry about now.
So you have to find new ways to
278
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,000
use your masculine energy and to
create and to innovate and to
279
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,900
build and to your point, I can
assist expansion, but it's still
280
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,500
expanding beyond the definition,
but understanding the dynamic
281
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:34,100
between the energy to think it's
where we're losing, and because
282
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,400
there are women who are seven,
figure earners six-figure
283
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,200
earners.
And guess what?
284
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,900
Those women typically still want
the same dynamic, because it's
285
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:47,400
it feels, right?
They They're not typically
286
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
looking forward to be the
domineering Forest.
287
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,700
It's just, that's a Culturally
is kind of pushed and some of
288
00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:58,700
them accepted because they feel
like that but it's hey there, a
289
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,400
lot of men being displaced and
seeing that.
290
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Hey, you're not good for
anything else we're gonna throw
291
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,400
you in front of this, you know,
whatever.
292
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Physical labor and you die
alone.
293
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,600
You die alone.
That's fine.
294
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,100
And there are men who are
brilliant thinkers, brilliant
295
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:18,200
artist, brilliant creators.
there are not fulfilling their
296
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,500
potential, or their dreams even
because One box doesn't work for
297
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,000
them.
They weren't trained for in the
298
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,900
other box.
Doesn't feel tangible enough.
299
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:31,800
So you have to go do this thing
that everyone it's like,
300
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,600
they're, they're kind of like
this is the thing that can kind
301
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600
of contain my manhood, but
there's so much more to me and I
302
00:16:38,608 --> 00:16:43,400
think this is what caused the
depression amongst men suicide
303
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,900
rates among men.
All these things are pressing
304
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:52,900
issues that don't really get,
you know, the proper recognition
305
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:57,000
that it needs to because Society
is changing.
306
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,100
It's like well boohoo you were
man.
307
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:00,900
You got all this privilege.
All this power.
308
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:04,000
It's like what privileges had to
be discarded.
309
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,900
Like like nothing.
And then, you know, like it's a
310
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,000
very weird thing that's
happening.
311
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,000
I think we're slowly shifting
away from I think as Things
312
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,300
become more obvious and this
generation of women are kind of
313
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,400
seeing, like, wait a minute,
something isn't working.
314
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,700
So we're in that period of
transition to wear We're not the
315
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:30,500
old generation that begun
feminism.
316
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:33,700
I always tell women today.
Even if I cure 50s, like when
317
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:37,400
family is my started, you were
probably not born.
318
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,500
It's like no one here, had like
no one alive today.
319
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:43,800
Most like most of us who are
alive.
320
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,700
Today had nothing to do with the
start or the evolution of
321
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,100
feminism.
We were all born into either.
322
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:55,800
Third, fourth wave, feminism,
and then just adopting the And
323
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,200
they go.
And so the problem with adopting
324
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,400
narrative, you know, from a
psychological standpoint is you
325
00:18:00,408 --> 00:18:03,500
don't get a chance to challenge
them or to test them and
326
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,700
everything has to be stress
tested and I pulled the
327
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:11,300
research, you look at the data
between the last 50 years or 60
328
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:15,500
years to now, everything that
you would expect for a liberated
329
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:18,900
woman Society to be better at
where Works in single
330
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,100
motherhood, is up multiple
multi-partner.
331
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:28,400
Fertility is up, the mother
amount of Of women who are
332
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,100
contributing 50% or more of the
income to the household is up.
333
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:36,400
So it's like all this Liberation
and the family unit is actually
334
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,200
degrading.
Divorce rates are up so what is
335
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,800
getting better from this?
Looks like it's not the fact
336
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,800
that women having rights or
women having this is wrong,
337
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,400
that's not have nothing to do
with it.
338
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,100
The thing is the energy input in
how we are constructing The
339
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:56,500
Narrative of That boy is a boy
until he becomes a man.
340
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,200
Then he's bad.
But many he becomes an adult,
341
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,700
then he's bad.
And it's like it starts.
342
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:06,000
It's a gradual process at 5uq at
10.
343
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,100
It's like, okay, at 15, you were
threat.
344
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:13,400
And as you get older and older
and older, you're you're less
345
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,100
likely to be supported or
nurtured any kind of way.
346
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:19,600
And so what happens when you
have a generation of men who
347
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,900
have been unsupported under the
nurtured and undertrained Did
348
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:27,600
any get blamed for a coach or
they didn't create it.
349
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,200
So it's like a very, very it's
difficult for a man, whose.
350
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:37,000
And if that man doesn't have a
father or male role models in
351
00:19:37,008 --> 00:19:39,700
his life, how does he find?
Helping this is great.
352
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,900
We have platforms like this that
can take.
353
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:45,700
This is we're human.
Like me and are human.
354
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,600
We do have a boat.
Since we do have aspiration
355
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,300
Visions, we have things we want
to do with accomplish and see
356
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:55,600
but and it's important the same
Always important for women to be
357
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,900
empowered and women to know they
can expand.
358
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:00,800
It's important for men to have
that to and does it, you know,
359
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
you can't blame the men of today
for the minimum thousand years
360
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,100
ago.
And if there's so much trauma to
361
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:12,600
that hasn't been healed
properly, that's like, oh, you
362
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,200
have all these private room and
it's like being a man, it's
363
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,600
hard.
I don't know who told you, it
364
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,300
wasn't, but being a man is
pretty difficult.
365
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,500
You know, brick is difficult.
But being a man, is it still has
366
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,900
his own It sounds dope same way.
Being one has its own set of
367
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:29,200
challenges.
Yeah, I see lots of women who
368
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,000
are successful especially in
business or Finance.
369
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:36,700
They often they could they take
on lot of masculine energy and
370
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:40,000
often celebs of stored energy.
So they will build off me called
371
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,800
a bitch and the job because they
trying to be the aggressive
372
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,000
leadership of a man and you
know, there that that story
373
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,800
figures, so they're quiet.
They're not asking for help.
374
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,400
They trying to, you know,
they're acting like they got
375
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,600
everything figured out like is
the greatest mask that men have
376
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,000
worn for Generations.
Like Like no problem here.
377
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,700
Leave me alone, right?
And so, but there's still that
378
00:20:58,700 --> 00:20:59,800
that time.
I decided still exists.
379
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,100
When relationship, they really
still do want to be supported
380
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,700
being taken care of and, and men
want that too.
381
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,700
But it's always been so much
shame for you to say like, I'm
382
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:10,800
struggling often say that the
bravest thing you can do
383
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,600
sometimes is to ask for help on
her ability.
384
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:16,900
Now hopefully that's more open
and, you know, men can actually
385
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,000
be rewarded for asking for
support and support each other
386
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,100
and get support from women.
But yeah, it's all very A
387
00:21:24,108 --> 00:21:27,800
nuanced and I said, everything
is goes by pendulum swings.
388
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,700
Yes, we've had like you know,
masking being called toxic and
389
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,000
no and now we're swinging the
other way.
390
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,300
And hopefully there's a selling
point where everyone can just
391
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:37,400
just be and the labels and
definition, just all fun.
392
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,100
We're just let everything be
nice and nebulous just are like,
393
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,100
are you a happy content human
being great like that.
394
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,400
That's that be the goal that
that's my goal for all of our
395
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,900
goals for our lagging.
Indicators did lead to
396
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:53,600
happiness.
It's It's up with resistance,
397
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,500
you know, about the strong
woman, I call it pink,
398
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:01,400
masculinity, you know, because
women do mimic masculinity in
399
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,700
certain spaces.
You talk to that woman behind
400
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:05,000
closed doors, that's not how
that woman.
401
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,000
I've talked to countless
businesswomen, I've coached in
402
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000
my mentor them and some of them
feel like they have to have some
403
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,500
things in a forward-facing away,
that's master.
404
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:18,000
I think, even that's starting to
change where it's like, hey
405
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,600
women can be women in certain
spaces and create a feminist.
406
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:26,600
the aspect to that, but No one
wants to hold that masculine
407
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,600
frame.
And and it's Certain spaces were
408
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,200
created with certain energies
and if we realized that, hey, we
409
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,500
can all create our own space
within her like within
410
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,300
ourselves.
If we understand that process,
411
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300
which goes back to why go back
to the spiritual thing, right?
412
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,000
It's like, it's not a, even a
man woman is, she was just,
413
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,900
like, everyone is got to heal,
and be aware of like the
414
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:49,900
conditioning.
Because there is a levels of
415
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:53,200
healing because there's personal
healing, but if my personal
416
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,900
healing conflict with the
collective healing, and I don't
417
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:59,400
know how to differentiate
between the conditioning of the
418
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,200
collective.
My own condition.
419
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,700
Excuse me, there's going to be
some conflict, because I think
420
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:09,700
I'm Healed, but I'm also
aligning myself to Collective
421
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:11,200
trauma, this Collective
narrative.
422
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,100
And that's what I've talked
about.
423
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:17,500
The timing more recently about
tribalism and the identity and
424
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:23,700
group identity becoming so
pervasive in today's society.
425
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:28,200
And it's I think it's a dying
ideology to have group identity
426
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:35,100
because it really is a A lack of
better word like to be a slave
427
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:38,800
to who you think you are.
And it's like to be a slave by
428
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,400
group definition like we're both
men, but we're both our own
429
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800
individuals and we can speak to
common things for men, but it's
430
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,300
also part of that is you you get
that.
431
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:54,200
Not right.
But you get the Integrity of
432
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,800
that when you're speaking from
your personhood and you know who
433
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,600
you are outside of this
Collective.
434
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:03,100
So outside of collective of men
or race or generation or
435
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:10,300
country, or city or whatever it
is religion who you are, wipe
436
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,900
away all those things, that's
what matters the most.
437
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600
And as long as there is, this
Collective.
438
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200
It's easy to people, say divide
and conquer.
439
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:19,600
That's not what's really
happening.
440
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:24,400
Happening is unifying conquer if
I can unify groups and make them
441
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,300
fight against each other.
That's not divide and conquer.
442
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:28,100
I'm actually putting you
together in conquering you
443
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,600
because I can control each group
with the message.
444
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,100
So I can put men against women,
this against that, and this is
445
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:37,600
just this.
So, it's The separation is
446
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,600
actually finding herself Within
These constructs of who we think
447
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200
we are.
Well, there's racial whether
448
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,700
it's gender, whether it's
sexualities like that doesn't
449
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:48,600
make you who you are, who you
are, is who you are, without any
450
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,100
of those things.
And those things are just extra
451
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,400
their extra and that's part of
the, you know, that's the
452
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,700
healing process you know, from
from a top-down level.
453
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:01,900
It's like you are not who
society says you were, or you
454
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:04,000
are not a woman.
You're not a man, like, you are
455
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,200
your own being and you are part
of this group.
456
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Sure.
And there are things that you
457
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,800
may identify with it, another
group may not identify with, but
458
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,500
that just makes you unique and
your own right, doesn't make the
459
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:18,400
other group wrong.
And I think, when we can get to
460
00:25:18,408 --> 00:25:21,800
that point, where we really
embrace the individual life,
461
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,300
your uniqueness, and who you are
as an individual.
462
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:28,900
A lot of this thing's will just
kind of flow because everyone
463
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:30,900
will go into their path.
That works for them because
464
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:34,600
there's there may be some women
who want a more feminine partner
465
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,700
makes a man who wanted more
masculine partner that Work
466
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,400
perfectly for them to have no
conflict whatsoever but for most
467
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,800
people that may not work, but
it's like you can't find what
468
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,100
works for you if you're not
really identify who you are and
469
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,300
your inner being and your path.
So that's why I'm passing about
470
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:52,300
the spiritual aspect of it
because it's like, hey, we get
471
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,000
the spiritual stuff, right?
So much of this stuff is clean
472
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,700
yourself up.
It's like oh it's not a real
473
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,900
issue anymore, that's not even
actually a problem.
474
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:01,100
It's like I was just thinking
about that wrong because this
475
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,200
Collective thing is so
overpowering, it so overbearing
476
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,100
because that's how we learn
about the World, we're literally
477
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:14,600
condition because the happier
word, or less native conscious
478
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,200
encountered.
The word is is learning for
479
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,100
conditioning.
So conditioning is the same
480
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:21,400
thing as learning, so we learn
about the world and we assume
481
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,100
that will be learned.
It's not the same thing as
482
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:26,100
conditioning with.
So conditioning, it's bad at
483
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:28,300
learning is good, but some
things you learn are actually
484
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:29,300
bad.
Something you can just do, is
485
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:32,700
actually good.
So you have to decipher these
486
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:34,200
things of.
What if I learn about the world,
487
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,100
all I learned about history.
Learn about slavery.
488
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:38,900
I learn about feminism.
I learn about all these
489
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:42,300
different aspects that give me
an idea about who I am in the
490
00:26:42,308 --> 00:26:44,400
world.
But those things were the past.
491
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:49,200
You learn about the past to
understand somewhat about how
492
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,400
the words operate today, but
it's not the same because you're
493
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,800
not in the past, or in the now
and there's so much freedom and
494
00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:59,600
understanding and separate
yourself from the trauma of the
495
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,000
past and understanding how that
creeps up with you because we're
496
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,100
all learning the same stuff.
It's traumatic.
497
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,400
Digoxin, trembles still Brewing
because we're learning it.
498
00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:12,700
Nothing wrong with learning
about things, but you have to
499
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:15,800
learn how to separate yourself
from the learning, that's how
500
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,100
you operate in your own
alignment.
501
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:18,800
You can be conditioned with
anything.
502
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,800
All of us are conditioned, you
know, based on where we live,
503
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,800
and where we're from the coach,
we have the parents, we have the
504
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,000
parents.
They had, we're nothing really
505
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,700
more than a long line of
conditioning.
506
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:32,800
And to free the selfish really
should say, hey, you know what,
507
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,700
I am more than what I've
learned.
508
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:39,200
I'm more than what the ego
identifies, as I can be more
509
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,500
than this.
And to be more, it's like to
510
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:45,800
really be less.
It's like to not try to be
511
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800
anything to not, try to fit into
your own little box and the
512
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,600
minute you stop trying to fit
into your own little box.
513
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,400
You become yourself.
You like wait a minute, this is
514
00:27:52,408 --> 00:27:55,300
who I am.
And there's no more.
515
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Yeah there's a lot of here want
to try to unpack a little bit
516
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,800
more so be I greet the the
problem with so many different
517
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,300
groups and identities and labels
it just makes more Us and Them
518
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,400
and we need to be.
We and like I'm sure you agree.
519
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,900
Like one of the great spiritual
foundations and everything is
520
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:14,400
that we're all one.
Yeah, we're truly one energy.
521
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,300
And I believe, you know, we're
all God in physical form having
522
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:22,400
individuated experiences of this
Mass Collective energy.
523
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:25,400
Yeah.
And You also mentioned ego and I
524
00:28:25,408 --> 00:28:28,300
recently heard a great
definition for the ego that I
525
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,400
hope I can remember clearly, but
I think was Marianne Williamson.
526
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,500
I heard in her lectures say that
the ego is our self hatred
527
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:39,300
masquerading as our best friend.
Hmm.
528
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:43,200
That's deep.
Yeah.
529
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,500
I like I've never heard a phrase
that way, that, that really that
530
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,100
made that really pop made me
pause, like just did for you,
531
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:56,400
besides us all being one, what
are some just spiritual truths
532
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,500
that that you've experienced and
found to be true that you wish
533
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:11,600
more people knew?
Hmm. for a core principle that
534
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:19,100
is just crystallized is always
its present and it can be taken
535
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:21,300
the wrong way because I will
learn about a third in words,
536
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:26,100
but the purpose of life is
success, and success is the
537
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:28,300
Fulfillment of an aim or
purpose.
538
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,200
So, the same way that an apple
seed, if I planted the purpose
539
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,600
of the Appleseed is to what
become an apple tree and grow
540
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:38,600
apples.
So it will be successful in
541
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,100
being an apple seed.
If it bears fruit and become the
542
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:46,700
Apple, that same analogy,
Applies to an acorn and acorns.
543
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:49,300
Now the Apple C but they both
can be successful in what
544
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:52,500
they're here to do.
And deliver the same way, Apple
545
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,900
C or an acorn or a cactus they
all have their own DNA.
546
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,800
Us being this, the Oneness and
separation not going to that.
547
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,800
But we're this separate Oneness
with our own unique spiritual
548
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,800
DNA, or we're own little
fingerprint on here.
549
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,700
On Earth, we have our own little
footprint that we leave you
550
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:14,300
behind and everyone has a
purpose or a name within their
551
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:17,300
spiritual DNA that says, hey, if
you water this enough, you will
552
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:20,400
bear fruit.
What's your here to become?
553
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,000
And we're not always aware of
what that actually is in the
554
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,200
long term, but it's a feeling
process.
555
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,000
We feel Ourselves into it, we
align ourselves into that and no
556
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
matter where we are in life,
whether you're up with your down
557
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
with your sideways.
When you're upside down inside
558
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,100
out, there's always a path
leading you to that ultimate
559
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:41,800
success for you, the ultimate
purpose and fulfillment and
560
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,800
things that make you feel alive.
They remind you that you're
561
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,200
alive to remind you, you are
here, having a human experience.
562
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:54,300
That's unique to like, no other.
And aspiring to be that or
563
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,400
walking that path is just takes
one the awareness and saying,
564
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,900
hey, there's something more for
me.
565
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:02,400
There's something here for me to
bear fruit because I'm here for
566
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,100
a reason and this time period
and this Universe for a reason
567
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:11,900
and as we walk into alignment
and we get into, you know, with
568
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:13,900
meditation and prayer,
journaling, whatever technology
569
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,700
you use That's the purpose of
life.
570
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,900
So then the next course of
action is understand that there
571
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:23,800
are conditions, right?
I want to grow a cactus.
572
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,700
I have to water it and treat it
differently.
573
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:31,600
I do I'm going to grow an apple
tree so your own personal inner
574
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,200
seizure, own sperm DNA.
Has to be cultivated by the
575
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,500
right people the right
environment throughout energies.
576
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,200
So part of your life, part of
your responsibility to your life
577
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,600
understanding, are you being
water properly?
578
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,700
Are you in the right
environment?
579
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:47,800
You in the right soil, and if
you're not Not there's a there's
580
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,100
an opportunity and you have that
right?
581
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,900
To say, hey I don't belong in
this environment.
582
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:57,500
I belong as somewhere else with
it feels aligned and or you
583
00:31:57,500 --> 00:32:00,100
practice this and you start
saying no to things that aren't
584
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,800
fulfilling to you just naturally
find your way.
585
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
And the irony of that is there
are so many spiritual doctrines,
586
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,600
religions and text it all kind
of point to this ultimate truth.
587
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,100
They just, they give you the
rules that can maybe help you
588
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,900
avoid some situations And
they're all trying to say, hey
589
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:19,700
if you just avoid this, you'll
probably have better for you if
590
00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:25,300
you avoid doing this or avoid
doing that and but that's it.
591
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,600
It's just everything is about
you.
592
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Watering your seat and you being
able to watch your flowers
593
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,000
bloom, watch the fruit that you
bear and then I mean in some
594
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,300
analogy, right?
That becomes your children and
595
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:40,100
your family and you start to
your children and you want your
596
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:43,000
children to bear fruit, if you
want to watch that blossoming
597
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,600
that becomes an a different
experience of watching life.
598
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,800
If that's come through you live
and create life, that just a
599
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,300
surreal experience.
Say well, wait a minute.
600
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:54,300
I'm watching life unfold from
me.
601
00:32:55,300 --> 00:33:00,000
And you are now becoming a part
of this Creator, Consciousness,
602
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,800
you are almost taking on that,
you know, microcosm of God
603
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,900
watching his creation on Earth
and you're watching it Blossom
604
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:08,300
you watching what comes from
you?
605
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,400
And we're all a part of this
long chain into thing.
606
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,600
What we talked about the
conditioning field can be, you
607
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,800
know, Deep so can the alignment
folk in the love.
608
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600
So can the purpose?
And we're just, we're just
609
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,000
picking and maybe we don't get
to pick one of the other.
610
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Maybe we always do a little bit
of both, right?
611
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,200
But it's like we can do a little
bit more alignment.
612
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,000
Little bit more peaceful bit,
more love, and a little bit less
613
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,700
trauma.
Less fear is less, doubtful that
614
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:37,700
criticism.
You know, less hatred.
615
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,800
We get to a place where people
can live their life.
616
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,400
They're here to live without
restriction.
617
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:47,900
And everything will flow into
proper space now that can get
618
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:51,800
very utopian, very quickly, but
it's just, it's a difficult path
619
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,800
as well, you know, because some
things you want to do require
620
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,800
discipline or require study or
require long hours of practice
621
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,800
requires sacrifice.
And so, part of you that you
622
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,800
want to become as we require a
shift or something different
623
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:07,700
than you're currently doing now
because it's challenging you to,
624
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:10,900
hey, you're better than this.
You can become an evolved
625
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,500
version of yourself, and that's
going to create a ripple effect.
626
00:34:13,699 --> 00:34:17,800
For generations.
And as men is saying, there's
627
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,600
something in you that can be
iconic.
628
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,100
There's something in you that
you may not even be the, I kind
629
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:24,699
of figured but maybe your
grandson, who sees what you did
630
00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:27,699
and say, wow, Granddad did this.
I'm going to take it to a
631
00:34:27,699 --> 00:34:30,300
different level.
This is inspires me and there's
632
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:33,699
nothing better for men than
having man that inspires them
633
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,800
that is the gift of life to be a
look at another man and say,
634
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,500
wow, this man, inspires me to
become more, what you want more
635
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:43,500
to dream bigger or to love
myself more.
636
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,400
And we can all get together.
That's what brotherhood's about,
637
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,199
right?
Like if we can have brothers to
638
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:51,600
lean on say that this is my
brother and he inspires me to be
639
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,699
better, that's that's what we
need.
640
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:58,000
And so there's this, you know,
long cycle in if we're better
641
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,400
for each other than we're better
for women, and we're better for
642
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,600
women and them become better for
me.
643
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,700
And then we just become this
Infinite Loop of becoming
644
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:08,500
better.
And that's what human Humanities
645
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:11,400
about is this Innovation.
We're creative beings there are
646
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,800
trying to get to this point of
Nirvana and maybe we never reach
647
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,700
it.
Maybe we never ever get there,
648
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:22,000
but the journey to it, the the
quest of greatness, and
649
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,100
excellence, and peace, and love,
and happiness.
650
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,200
All these things that are
Serene, that's what life is
651
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,500
about.
And it all starts with just
652
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:31,500
understanding, hey, you have a
purpose, you have a see within
653
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:34,800
you and just water it when the
other time, You'll get there
654
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,700
eventually, you know, and I love
her stressing, like judge
655
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:40,200
everything by the fruits, not
the conditioning, and be willing
656
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,800
to look your environment and
conditions and watering and, and
657
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,200
make better choices.
Move yourself because, yeah, if
658
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,400
you're a to follow your
metaphors, if you're a cactus
659
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,800
that somehow got planted in an
apple orchard, no matter how
660
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,000
many other trees and saying,
grow some fresh apples, give us
661
00:35:55,008 --> 00:35:56,600
some apples, get some apples
going kid.
662
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,800
It's not gonna happen and you'll
you trying to live by the
663
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,900
conditioning would make a for a
miserable experience.
664
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:05,200
You want to judge yourself.
Elf like, I'm not making up
665
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,400
apples.
You like, and you're a cactus.
666
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,500
You can the best Cactus out
here, but you're around apples
667
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,800
and it, maybe you're meant to be
a cactus among apples.
668
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:16,900
You know, some of that is maybe
being being bold enough to be
669
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:20,300
yourself, even when the world
around you is different, you
670
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:24,200
know.
So so I want to get, get back to
671
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,300
focusing on masculinity as well.
So, what are some ways that one
672
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:32,300
could begin to embrace their
authentic masculinity?
673
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:43,400
so, For me, I would say that
everything kind of starts.
674
00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:47,900
Doesn't really starts.
Its, we're all three or we can
675
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:49,800
say, three different beings,
like the spiritual being, the
676
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,000
mental, being the physical
being, and they all aligned in
677
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,700
some ways.
One practical thing, I tell a
678
00:36:56,707 --> 00:37:00,000
lot of mean it's like, you got
to get up early.
679
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:03,600
You got to rise early and their
science behind it.
680
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,700
You know, the female hormone
cycle follows the moon, it's 28
681
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:12,000
days, they have their cycle, the
male hormone cycle follows the
682
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,200
Sun, and it's kind of goes with
the masculine energy mass and
683
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,300
energy is the Illusion.
In the sense, it's the
684
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:22,200
enlightenment is, what has come
in two forms.
685
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,300
What's been revealed?
So we follow the Sun and makes
686
00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:29,800
sense every 24 hours or
homosexuals, you know, resets it
687
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,100
Peaks.
In the morning.
688
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,800
So, for most men, if you wake
up, I got, I don't have the
689
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,200
exact numbers on me.
It's in my book, The Divine
690
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,500
masculine handbook, and it talks
about there's times where you
691
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:47,800
can ride that peak of
testosterone up, and I can't
692
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:53,400
really explain What it is.
Maybe someone can lose more time
693
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,400
different, who knows about?
You know, hormones are very,
694
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,900
very, you know, a student this
but there's an energy to that of
695
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,100
Waking up before your Peak and
experiencing the peak.
696
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,300
And you can carry a little bit
of that with you versus waking
697
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,500
up and you're on a Down's
downhill.
698
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:14,300
Like slide is also something
about The male ego in.
699
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:21,900
Worthiness and if I don't know
if we can re-engineer it, right?
700
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:25,300
And I'm a person who I don't
want to change, how things are
701
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:27,100
our, just figure out how they
work and then just use the best
702
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,100
of my ability, right?
We can try to re-engineer, man,
703
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:31,600
but there's something to me in
about worthiness where it's like
704
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,400
I want underserved what I have.
I want to I want to earn my
705
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,600
keep.
That's the something men.
706
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,300
Have you can you can find the
richest man.
707
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:40,700
The poorest man.
They were both agree.
708
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:45,700
I want to earn my keep I'll ask
when I have to but I really want
709
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:49,900
to earn my keep and so
discipline becomes.
710
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:53,100
It's a weird thing.
I discipline becomes a self
711
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:55,900
watering system when you really
tap into it at a different
712
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:58,200
frequency where this not
discipline for.
713
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:02,200
You know, it's not discipline as
a consequence.
714
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,300
It's a proactive discipline that
says I'm doing this to reward
715
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:11,600
myself and to increase my own
self esteem, my own self image
716
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,200
because I'm doing something that
requires Buy some discipline
717
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,000
requires going a little bit
above and beyond and that's what
718
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,400
masculine he's about.
Was like extending that massive
719
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,000
energy a little bit further.
I was like, hey, you have to be
720
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,800
doing this podcast right now.
Why are you doing this?
721
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,800
You could just talk about this
with a couple friends and but
722
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,200
you're doing something that's
extending out further just just
723
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,300
enough just like whatever you
get from this podcast.
724
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:36,300
Where were you, where ever your
brand grows into?
725
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,700
It's like, you know, like I work
for this and there is a feeling
726
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:43,000
that we can't really describe a
why you feel that way but you
727
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,500
know, No, you deserve to cuz you
know how much you put into it,
728
00:39:45,508 --> 00:39:47,300
you know, how much work, you
know, how much time, you know
729
00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:49,800
how much goes into it.
And so there's something for a
730
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,300
man when it comes to your masks
Linnaeus.
731
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,500
Like, hey, what do you think it
would take for you deserve?
732
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:56,000
It, it may be.
You're going to be wrong about
733
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,500
that.
What it is, but what do you
734
00:39:57,508 --> 00:40:01,100
think it would take for you to
feel like you deserve what you
735
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:03,600
actually want Nick clear on what
you want and then what would you
736
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,500
take to deserve it?
Not just what you want in.
737
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,100
I want to go get the fastest way
but if you could earn it, what
738
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:11,400
does that would?
That feel like?
739
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,500
What would it take?
There's some pride. and in that
740
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:18,800
process, The notion of
displaying the really hit me now
741
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,200
that sometimes kind of an hour
in our worst aspects.
742
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,600
Discipline seems like a
constraint, it's were being
743
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,700
punished but when itself chosen
discipline it does feed that
744
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:31,800
expansion, you're talking about.
So I think that's how most
745
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,300
things are that again, based on
our mindset and framework, you
746
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,800
know, it can feel restricting
and putting and put his gun.
747
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,100
Putting it back in that old man
box or is it really a tool that
748
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,900
we can use to expand even
further?
749
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:45,800
And I think that's true.
Then you mentioned worthiness a
750
00:40:45,808 --> 00:40:46,200
lot.
Yeah.
751
00:40:46,300 --> 00:40:49,800
A lot of it's a fear, a lot of
men have it that their theater.
752
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,700
So afraid to speak out loud, but
what sort of other fears do you
753
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:55,900
see commonly in men, besides,
you know, questioning their
754
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:58,300
worth of questioning their own
value?
755
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:07,500
I think the process can be
daunting and I've experienced,
756
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:09,800
I'm sure you've experienced it
this, when you were you in a
757
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,000
place where you're maybe having
the first awareness of what you
758
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,700
really want and maybe your for
the first time, you're aware of
759
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:20,600
the environment you're in, is
not the environment you meant to
760
00:41:20,607 --> 00:41:22,900
be in other people.
You connected to you.
761
00:41:22,908 --> 00:41:25,400
Not meant to be connected to and
it's like it's a, it's a
762
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Troublesome feeling.
It's Wow, I've done this all
763
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,300
wrong.
And how can I fix this?
764
00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:34,700
It's such a dark place.
You can you can put yourself in
765
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:37,500
which is also, it can be a great
experience.
766
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:40,100
Say wow.
I'm I'm aware enough to know
767
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:42,600
that this isn't for me.
That's a great place to be in.
768
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,800
And then it's just about forging
that path forward and say, what
769
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,300
do I want moving forward?
So that fear of being caught in
770
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:54,200
your process, right?
That's just part of the, the
771
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,400
male insecurity because we're
based on externalizing things.
772
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:03,600
So we don't want to be caught in
the middle of cooking the meal
773
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:06,100
like up, don't look yet, it's
not done, right?
774
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:09,300
Like I'm not, I'm not finished
yet, but the beauty of manhood
775
00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:11,500
said you're never finished,
right?
776
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:13,600
Like, we're always going to be
craving all thing to be Be
777
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,600
growing and expanding its like,
never be ashamed of where you're
778
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,700
growing into never be ashamed of
what you're stepping into next
779
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:24,300
and ever be a shame to let
someone see you working steam.
780
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:26,700
So you progress.
Yeah, if you're caught, if
781
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,400
you're caught mixing up your
recipe, is that it's like a fear
782
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,700
of judgment.
But, no, I'm not done.
783
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:32,800
Don't judge me yet.
I'm still in process.
784
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,800
There are some people, this is
the beauty and I've experienced
785
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,500
in my own life is just there.
They're so much like juice in
786
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,600
this, like simple truth of just
like, embracing your process as
787
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,200
a man is the key because that's
the masculine feminine balance,
788
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,500
right?
Because we're this 24-hour clock
789
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:52,100
that keeps going around day by
day.
790
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:55,100
And so that's what brings the
insecurity.
791
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:59,800
But the insecurity is what has
that's what has made men,
792
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,700
protection providers over time
over time because we have to be
793
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,800
insecure Sure about is their
safety, is their provision, if
794
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,500
there's enough of this so that
insecurity drives us out to be
795
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:12,500
this more masculine friend
because I have to go find
796
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:15,000
security.
You know, I have to go develop
797
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000
into something secure and
stable, not only for myself and
798
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
that starts, you know, material
things but food shelter.
799
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,400
Everybody expands out, like I
said, to creativity, to dreams,
800
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,600
like to impact, to connections
to love to family.
801
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,800
And if you can allow that
process, You know, that feminine
802
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,300
process that takes time.
If you can get in tune with that
803
00:43:36,300 --> 00:43:38,900
process of like hey this is
going to take time.
804
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,100
And I don't want to judge myself
based on my process of where I'm
805
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:46,500
going to get into.
I have to be okay with where I
806
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:49,600
am and also like that.
That's why the disciplines
807
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,300
reward because the process is
going to be the process but you
808
00:43:54,308 --> 00:43:57,400
can beat yourself up in the
process so much that you don't
809
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,400
get to the reward.
But the discipline part of that
810
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,900
is like every single day.
I did something that moving
811
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:08,400
forward that is the reward that
it's not the end, it's in the
812
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,000
middle of that family.
Eminent process.
813
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,200
You were establishing masculine
presence.
814
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,300
Each step of the way of saying
I'm disciplined.
815
00:44:14,300 --> 00:44:16,600
I'm focused.
I'm sacrificing, I'm moving
816
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
forward, I'm making adjustments.
If someone sees me getting
817
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,300
better, that's good for them.
Maybe it's inspires them.
818
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:24,700
Maybe they want to help me, or
maybe I want to help them like
819
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:29,000
that creates new life.
And so that's never be ashamed
820
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,200
of where you are because it can
change any anyone situation can
821
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,100
change?
Within a year within five years
822
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:40,400
for sure, within 10 years,
without question of a doubt.
823
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:45,300
So it's just a matter of hey,
love the processor and find out
824
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:46,200
what their process is.
Right?
825
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,500
Because we want the goal, but we
have to figure out what do you
826
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:53,100
have to do day by day to make
that happen and just like a time
827
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:54,800
management?
Productivity thing because you
828
00:44:54,808 --> 00:44:58,100
know, pressure be part of
manhood as well as that early
829
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:01,900
Rising thing that rise again to
your masculine energy rising to
830
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:06,900
that testosterone, it gives More
time, there's more time in the
831
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:09,000
beginning of the day, the, at
the end because the brain hasn't
832
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,100
made me decisions, there's more
clarity more focused.
833
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:13,600
It's not many people moving
around things happening.
834
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,300
So it's just a quick tip.
If like if if you wake up at 6
835
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:23,800
a.m. try 5:00 a.m. try for you
wake up at 8, a.m. try six, get
836
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,100
a couple extra hours and do
something.
837
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:26,500
That's very, very important to
you.
838
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,500
Thanks, we've done is very, very
important using discipline and
839
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:34,300
structure which can feel
limiting, but you use it to
840
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:36,700
enhance your creativity in your
progression.
841
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:39,900
It's going to feel good.
You got a car in this.
842
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:42,500
I got up today and I knocked
that thing out.
843
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,100
Now, you rest of your day B uu
test runs going down but you're
844
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:48,400
actually feeling good.
So I got that thing done, I
845
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,100
finished that thing I was
supposed to do, and if your
846
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:52,800
author start writing your book
in the morning.
847
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,100
If you're a videographer start
editing, your videos are content
848
00:45:57,100 --> 00:45:59,200
creator.

video, you want to edit and get
that done.
850
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
First thing in the morning now
the rest of your days like oh,
851
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,100
wow, everyone today, it's like
get a win under your belt as
852
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:09,500
fast as you can and then Going
to feel like a winner, right?
853
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:11,800
Do that another dimension?
Yeah.
854
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,500
And enjoy your own fruits of
that that self satisfaction and
855
00:46:15,500 --> 00:46:18,400
fulfillment at the result of
your creation and your action.
856
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,300
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy
at that point, like every day,
857
00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:23,600
I'm a winner.
Every time, a winner, no matter
858
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,300
where I am in my process, I won
today.
859
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:29,500
So, if you see me today, I'm not
a shame that I'm still cooking
860
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:31,400
but I got them.
I got the ingredients together
861
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,400
today.
I put them on.
862
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:33,900
I got a mixed up and I'm
tomorrow.
863
00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:37,500
Want to put in the oven, but
just everyday, get a win.
864
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:39,500
You know, get it.
Get a quick win.
865
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,800
It's like cheating.
If it's it's an easy.
866
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:48,800
Like brain chemistry thing just
sets you up for Success because
867
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,400
you're training yourself to see
yourself as this person who's
868
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,400
winning.
You're in the process of
869
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,100
becoming You want to become it,
right?
870
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,100
Yeah, I know I've often had the
experience of the goal of the
871
00:46:59,107 --> 00:47:00,700
person I want to be is so far
away.
872
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:02,600
And I'm only looking at that end
result and I'm like, oh I can
873
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,700
never get there.
But if I focus on what can, what
874
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:05,700
can I do today?
Do get it.
875
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:07,500
But now we're early.
What what positive thing can I
876
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,500
do today to get me closer?
And when we focus on that, just
877
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:14,500
those small incremental steps
towards our own success, we feel
878
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:16,300
that level of success, we feel
it.
879
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,000
And it compounds is sometimes.
The thing we think is so far
880
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,100
away is only a matter of
Consecutive work, right?
881
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:26,600
Like it may seem like it's 100
days away and it could be 100
882
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,400
the way for the average person.
But if you do for three days in
883
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:30,600
a row, you may get there.
Faster.
884
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,600
Yeah, and it's forever away if
you take no action about it it's
885
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,400
always a way.
Yeah.
886
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,400
Yeah.
So it's it's closer each day or
887
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,100
its infinite forever depending
on what you do, which one do you
888
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:44,400
want to pick?
Yeah.
889
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,500
Awesome.
So Malika I love this
890
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,900
conversation when we're looking
at the talked again, more.
891
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,800
But what's the best way for
people to learn more about Out
892
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,000
you and connect with you.
I'm on Instagram, YouTube.
893
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,100
Facebook at Jay, Malik taught
me.
894
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,200
I'm posting on there all the
time posting stories live
895
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,000
streams.
You can find me on there.
896
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:08,900
I'm trying to be interactive as
I can with people of this.
897
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,800
That shared web experience with
a mostly.
898
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:18,100
What I see, you know, try to
give a kind of a reflection of
899
00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:20,300
what's happening in the world
and how that applies to the
900
00:48:20,300 --> 00:48:22,400
everyday life and try to bring
it back to the spiritual
901
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,400
principle of, there are things
going on the life.
902
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,300
This is why this is going on.
And if you separate yourself
903
00:48:27,300 --> 00:48:29,600
from this and understand learn
from it, learn from what's
904
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,100
Happening out here, learn from
everything is here to learning
905
00:48:33,100 --> 00:48:35,900
experience, the learning tool,
even the bad things we talked
906
00:48:35,900 --> 00:48:38,200
about were just so like many.
We're doing this, like we're
907
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,500
worth.
It's part of our evolution.
908
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:42,200
Be problems we have to solve and
it's like, okay, this is going
909
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,500
on because of this and what can
I learn from this personally?
910
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:46,100
So I can apply this my own
personal life.
911
00:48:46,100 --> 00:48:50,500
So they're catch me on
Instagram, mostly YouTube at
