What is a Man?

Higher vs the lower

Have you noticed the war on masculinity lately? I have. Let’s explore the idea of what it really means to be a man and what we can strive for.

If you are a woman, you can read this too. It will benefit you directly to know this information.

Think of how divided it’s all become. How long has this war of the sexes been raging on? It’s frustrating. It’s painful. It’s tragic on so many levels.

Saddest of all, it’s our children that suffer the most in this conflict. This creates generational trauma. If generational demons are not cast out, they are passed on to the children and the cycle continues. This can be seen plainly.

We cannot talk about men without recognizing women and our relationship with them. This is primal. This is also the birthplace of love and all that is good and worth doing in this world.

We also must address our relationship with children. Our children. Ourselves as children. And all children of the world in general. It’s a concept that radiates through us as men.

In addition to women and children, our animals and especially our dogs are a vital in helping a man realize who he truly is.

So far we are looking at what a man is in terms of relationships. For it is our relationships that define us and help to shape our lives. It is through relationships that we will find true meaning and joy in our lives.

We as men are taught by the systems in place that we need to do things, and have things. We need to follow the rules. We need to compete for our existence. Etc. I’m speaking classically of course and not what is currently being taught by the woke corporate agenda.

So the system does not naturally create good men. Our current parasitic corporate power structure does not reward good men. In fact, it openly punishes them and rewards sociopathic behavior.

As a result, a lot of our patterning as men is subconsciously done by imitating sociopathic behavior that we absorb from society. Politics and media are prime examples of this point. Movies and TV as well..

NPC drone males are operating in what I call the lower masculine. Sure, they’re men. But there is something deeply wrong with them. It’s usually a spiritual affliction growing out of emotional wounds. Basically the wounded child has hijacked portions of the personality and often times these types are very volatile and incoherent.

Without an intact personality, one cannot possibly leave the depths of the lower masculine. Without God or a strong spiritual connection to source, the lower male languishes in the hell of his own creation. Not fun!

The lower masculine is full of repressed grief, manifesting as rage. Sin will pull them in now and the gravity of the negative pulls men into self annihilation. He lashes out at everyone around him bringing others into his pain. The sins grow and spread. We can think of sin as a contagion of the soul. A black sticky heavy tar that slowly covers the man until eventually even the eyes are devoid of light.

We are all too familiar with this archetype. Hollow. Weak. Mean. Cold. Calloused. Cruel. Sick. Perverse. Evil. This is the dark side of man and we need to actively and meticulously reject all of these ideations. We can find out who we are by realizing what we are not. And this is where many start from.

The higher masculine is where a man wants to be.

This is where we get into ideals. Morality. Truth. Bravery. Unbending intent. Fierce and fiery protection. Fearlessness. Intellect. Strength. Adaptability. Dependability. Kindness and warmth beyond measure. Humor. Gentleness. Faithfulness. Unending love.

The only path to learn these things is through the maintenance and care of all our relationships. There is one relationship that will help us and care for us along the way. This is our relationship with God. I know that people have different ways of saying that and that’s fine. It’s an action and a lifestyle. It’s really primary. God will give you the blueprint for how to live our life. So that’s important. Please don’t mistake religious teachings from man for what I am talking about. We are talking about your direct line to God.

If our parents came up short, God will fill in the gap. If we were hurt by someone that was suppose to protect us, God will heal us. God will show us the way if we are willing to look.

The societal projection of male success surely involves being rich or famous or powerful. The true measure of success is much different. So we must discover what is truly important in our life. If we will listen, God will tell us.

I am MK and I am a 44 yr old man. If you ask me what is most important and what I feel God wants from me then I will tell you.

Being a kind and caring father is number 1 and 2. You could say that it’s my ultimate life mission, top priority and all other things come after this. So there is nothing in this world that I would choose over making that happen every single day for the rest of my life.

Being a strong and kind husband is also 1 and 2. If the state of the union is strong then all else flows from there. Since I chose this person, and she chose me, and we have created 2 miracles together, then she is my top priority.

After that it’s pretty simple. God asks that I be kind to people, help them, and offer my gifts. This is my hierarchy of commands and everything else in my life revolves around this. Yours may be different. After all, we are all individuals and everyone has free will.

We all have to find our way somehow. Changing ourselves is never easy. However, I will argue that a man must create himself actively and very consciously. We absolutely should strive to be better. Not better than each other. Better than we were. A good man must be content in all the right areas of life and working at improving in all the areas that need it.

Perhaps the largest obstacle I see for guys is in the trappings of the grand illusion. Many will make mistakes. Many will fail miserably. But the beautiful thing is that redemption is always possible and oftentimes the help will come through in unexpected ways.

Take care of each other!
