Recording of my most shared article from last year. I referenced back to it recently after listening to a bit by Jordan Peterson on how "there's nothing men can do when a woman is irrationally upset." I like JP, but that's simply not true. Handling a woman's emotions is part of being a complete man and an opportunity for growth.

One of the most frustrating things is when you intend to do one thing, but end up doing the opposite. This happens a lot in emotionally-charged situations like in dating, intimacy, or creative purpose. Much of our behavior can seem like pre-patterned response. We resort to the "shapes" that our psyche has developed into. Luckily our psyche is plastic, meaning it can be reshaped into new forms. In this video I share two major principles for reshaping your psyche. See acast.com/privacy for privacy...

Matt Cone is a philanthropist and philosopher. I met Matt on a retreat in Thailand 2 years ago. He shared something called 'The Abundance Model', a philosophy and system for dealing with money. I was a bit skeptical at first, but practiced it anyway and found that 1) My wealth increased greatly, 2) I felt totally different about money. It's actually less about money and more about your view of the future. This model has inspired today's episodes 'sponsor', TheNeighborFund.com The Neighbor Fund i...

This episode was inspired by some synchronistic events: a coaching conversations, ponderings on my new tattoo, and an essay by Carl Jung. Video version: https://youtu.be/eDRgEWIpxFQ Rites of passage were once an important piece of psychology development in men that both helped one access his unique gifts and potency, but also aligned his power with the needs of the tribe. Due to post-agricultural/industrial/consumerist developments, we've largely replaced this with societal norms that mostly rep...

Napoleon Hill's term for "channeling sexual energy" is often talked about, but rarely in a way that is practical. In this video I speak on a workable model for how to use "sexual energy" towards well-being and materialization of goals. Referencing: - Freud's sublimation - Jung's Instinct - Wilhelm Reich's muscular armoring and orgastic potential - Mantak Chia's microcosmic orbit, ejaculation control - the shortsightedness of NoFap - a workable metaphor for transmutation - Satanic sex magick (uni...

"Reality is a like a woman. She either moves towards you or runs away from you, depending on how you engage with it." 'Synchronicity' is a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung and often misused by spiritual folk. But even as a subjective experience, it is critical in our ability to create our reality. In this live episode we speak on: + Actual Jungian definition of synchronicity + How the 'Call to Adventure' shows up YOUR personal life journey + How to speed up subjective time, and density of s...

When I was a Libido and Relationship Counselor I found one key cause in BOTH individual psychogenic sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, anorgasmia) AND when couples can't enjoy sex with each other.

My second year in the matriarchal sex cult was much different that the first. (Catch Part 1: https://youtu.be/4Rni2uDd4Wc ) I took some of the tactics I learned as a "party goer" and employed them as a "party thrower". In a sense I became a mini-cult leader. My intentions, as most peoples' were good... but power corrupts. In this video I share a little more of group reality creation, some basic brainwashing "techniques" used on and by me, and what I believe are the useful nuggets for everyone. I...

I speak about my first year in the cult, my background that led me to seek this adventure, and some notes on cult psychology and how group realities are formed.
