The King Archetype is the aspect of masculinity that expresses responsibility, fatherhood, and security. In modern society, many men are lacking expression in this archetype. In order to fully actualize, one must be able to access this aspect of the unconscious. #depthpsychology #masculinity #kingwarriormagicianlover #herosjourney Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Get full access to Ruwando Substack at ruwando.substack.com/subscribe...

Internalized shame is a killer of self-esteem, libido, and a person's spirit. More than ever before, collective morality shames authentic masculinity. The 'Dark Masculine' is the archetype of removing shame and returning to true form. In this episode I speak on 3 levels: 1. Redefining beliefs around individual vs. collective "morality" 2. The 2 types of male-specific shame, and biological roots 3. How to unearth the 'Dark Masculine' archetype and heal shame This was inspired by the posts in the ...

Compulsive behavior is anything that you do against your higher intentions. (Doing what you don't want or not doing what you do want.) These behaviors are often involuntary because they run on primal biological drives... but that doesn't mean you need to be a slave to them. In this episode we speak specifically on porn addiction and "laziness" as they show the different extremes of compulsion. We cover the biology of desire, behavior-hormonal correlation, and practical actions for overcoming com...

On the threshold of my recent breakup, a friend lent me the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. At first, I resisted at it. I knew the book. I remember my mom watching the book's author, John Gray, on Oprah when I was 7 years old. I figured that a 27-year-old book couldn't possibly still be relevant. I was wrong. In many ways, it was refreshing to see how fundamentals truths remain so, even though societal change. That said, the world has changed a lot. How people perceive relating has...

2012 introduced me to the darkness of the unconscious. I fell in love with a hardcore drug addict. I didn't understand addiction. I thought she just an issue with willpower. All I knew was that possessed a joie de vivre, a passion for life, a willingness to follow her instincts with the full abandon that I myself was intoxicated by. She went off to rehab and I joined a cult called OneTaste. (See my podcasts on 'When I was in a matriarchal sex cult'.) Ironically (or synchronistically), OneTaste's...

Drawing from Robert Anton Wilson's Prometheus Rising, we dig into Timothy Leary's Eight Circuit Model of Consciousness. The first four circuits (bio-survival, emotional-territorial, semantic, and socio-sexual) are present in all humans. Most human behavior, individually and collectively, is unconsciously driven by these circuits. Understanding them allows us to explain and predict behavior in politics, personality, and response to the environment. Much of this episode relates to the earlier Medu...

What is the point of an ego? Many spiritual folks demonize the ego as this thing to 'transcended'. But the ego is one of the most important (and human) parts of the psyche. An expressed ego is necessary to unify your unconscious elements towards creativity and away from self-sabotage. We continue today through the Hero's Journey from the Mother Complex and Father Wound to what the formed ego is "supposed to do" once it has formed. We explain how the ego evolved alongside the evolution of life (a...
