DIVINE KING: Healing Low Masculine Week 2 on 8 19 2023

Welcome, Kings. Thank you so much for being here. I love your punctuality, I love your excitement. I love your engagement in this course, of your activity in this course. It's already making massive shifts not only in your life, but in my life. I had to decaf coffee for the first time ever. So, like, that was, you know, that was the thing that was cool. There's my boy, Mike. What's up, Mike? How are you.

Doing?

Good.

Jeremy, how was yourself?

Oh, dude.

Doing amazing, my man. Doing amazing. So check this, gentlemen, you ready? I hope you got your pens and paper ready or if you're on your bike or if you're riding or driving. The enemy is in me. A lot of men, a lot of people, we're going to point fingers and we're going to say it's the outside coming in. No, sir. Once you can take full ownership that it is inside, it's you. There are no outside forces that are opposing you. It's your inside forces that are attracting one of two things, either oppression that you can overcome or oppression that you can overcome. You stop blaming others and just accept everything in your life, it is your fault. Makes things a lot easier. A lot easier. And some of the discussions we're going to get in today are going to be quite deep. So strap in. But one thing we're going to do today that is going to feel a little bit weird, I will just let you know ahead of time, is we're going to heal masculine judgment. Brotherhood comes from men who are extremely confident with themselves. They're confident with their bodies, they're confident with their minds, they're confident with their voice, they're confident with their heart, they're confident with their energies coming together and doing so in an abundant, prosperous mindset. Not doing so from an egotistical competition, but competing with your brother because you want him to become the best, because you know he's better than you and you want him to pull you or you are going to allow to lead and show him what light looks like, what greatness looks like. So either way, we're going to go through a lot of this because a lot of this resentment and anger and competition, right? Judgment comparing is the thief of joy. And if we want to feel more joy, we have to appreciate what we have. And then when you begin to appreciate what you have, what you appreciate, appreciates. So we're going to start with this question and I'm going to get two shares and just see if you all can tell me what you think this is going to be if you had to define what is low masculine energy, what do you think it would be? So I'm gonna start, my boy Edmund.

Just low self confidence. I mean, that's kind of what comes to mind when I see low masculine energy. Where you're not, you don't. Where you feel like a boy, you don't feel like a man.

Sure. Yeah, that pretty much spot on. Pretty much spot on. What are your thoughts, Calvin, on low masculine energy?

I mean, I think you could define it a lot of ways, but what comes to mind for me right off the bat is like constantly seeking escapism.

Yep. I love you. So you and Edmund have stolen my slides. This is good. This is good to know. Yeah, you both use the two keywords. So Edmund said boy and Calvin said escapism. And what we've done with low masculine energy is we have seen it from others and we have adopted ourselves. And when we are able to, and when we begin to see the power, the light, the kingship, the admiration and others, we can begin to see in ourselves as well. But low masculine energy is exactly that is the energy of escaping, is the energy of not facing your problems, not facing the fact that this is you not saying yourself, wait a minute. I am the cause of all the problems in my life. Let me sit down without escaping and just face this pain. Let me, let me face this judgment. Let me face this anguish that's rising up. I know I'm not doing as good as I could be. I know I'm not performing as well as I could perform. I know I'm having these trials, these struggles, these tribulations. I know I'm. I'm having these fears of showing up, of posting, of creating. All right, why sit down with a pen and paper in silence? Go to a dark basement. Go get a nice 45 minute workout in, and after you've worked out, write some things down. Pour into yourself. Right? Low masculine energy is a. It's low because no one's pulling it up. You're going to hear this often throughout this program, but you can only ascend as high into heaven as you're willing to go down into your own personal hell. And a lot of people don't even want to go down into the darkness, down into the basement. We're going to talk a lot more about that on week three and four and five.

But.

Lowness is there and you have to go down, down, down. Meet the low, meet the boy, meet the little crybaby that's inside of all of us and console him, say hey, man, it's okay, right? Stop beating up that boy. Stop being. Being so angry to him. When you do something dumb, when you overstep, when you break a rule, be a little bit more calm to yourself, be a little bit more gentle, because that's going to be a healing experience that we are. We're going to be going through at some point and just being aware that that energy exists on a playing field, a plateau, if you will, kind of like an elevator. And most men stay right here. They never ascend, so they can pull that energy up. And they never go lower than that energy either, because low masculine energy. And then you have dark masculine energy. Right? Dark is just pitch black. The darkness, the wolf, the Viking, the murderer. We're going to talk about hand as well, but we're going to work on healing some of that low masculine energy that we have today, tomorrow, Monday, and this week. Because all of us have it. Some have it a lot more than others. But once we kind of begin to heal that, it's a very, very powerful moment. So for those of you who have a pen and paper available, and for those who don't, right, if you're driving or if you are working out or if you're traveling, you have this homework to post in the King's group later. I want you to write about your father for a quick second. Now, if you had a good relationship with your dad, beautiful. I did too, actually, for the most part, 98% of my relationship, my dad was actually quite great. But come up with what you don't like about him, because this is low masculine. How do you. How do you heal? Low masculine. You get into it. That's how you heal. You don't avoid that little boy inside of you. You go heal, you go hugging. A lot of us here have children, right? We have young boys. Jeremy, if one of your sons is throwing a tantrum, pissed off, crying on the floor, yelling, you can leave him there for a little bit. But are you going to go touch him? Are you going to console him? Are you just going to pretend it never happened, walk away, not be there for him?

Yeah, I'm gonna go address the situation for sure.

And what we're doing with our low masculine is we're not even talking about it. We're not even. Why are we escaping? We're not even addressing the issue. We're just letting that little boy, like Edmund said, escape and go cry into a little fetal position. And guess where it stems from? Gentlemen, your. Your masculine energy is going to derive straight from your Father, sorry in advance for some of you, maybe, I don't know. And again, this. This can be your biological father. This can be your stepfather. This can be your grandfather. If you're raised by your grandfather, here's a stat that I'm sure all of you know. 85% of individuals in jail are there for one reason. It's not race. It's not social, economic standing. It's not education. Did they grow up in a fatherless household?

Yep.

If you grew up without a dad, a father figure, granddad, uncle, whomever, you're going to jail, essentially. Right. You're going to have your hands in cuffs. 85% likelihood. That is wild. Wild. So what I want us to do is I want us to be a little bitchy for a second. I want us to be a little crybaby. I want you to be a little boy for a moment. I want you to go in and escape and blame and see how it feels for a bit. So I want you to drop into that place that you probably know relatively well because that's how you heal it. We go down and we see what's there. So if you can. For those of you who are not able to share your homework is to post it into the WhatsApp group later. But for those who are here, go ahead and write some things down and we're going to do some shares. Write down what you do not like about your dad, not what you like, not what you admire. Get a little mean, please. Be a little bitch. Be a little boy.

Dad.

You didn't buy me anything for Christmas. Ever. Whenever you went on trips, you never brought me a present. You never said I love you. You never really gave me a real hug. You always gave me one of those random sidearm things. You never looked me in my eyes and said that you were proud of me. And I blame you for so many problems in my life. It's your fault. Until you go down into that low masculine, that escapism, that little boy, it's going to be probably relatively hard to find something that you don't like about your dad. And you can try to be in your king energy and your prince energy, but now let's. Let's go down to that little boy. I know him so well. Just everything is everyone else's fault. What do you not like about your dad? Give you all 40 more seconds. Should be pretty easy. This has been inside of you for a while. And again, I had a great relationship with my dad. 98. He never did tell me he loved me. Those Are mine. By the way. It's real easy to go into my low masculine. Just blame my dad for. Man, I can do that at a drop of a hat. Sit down for a second and just point fingers. All right, let's go with Trent.

Yeah, kind of the. This one's tough for me, man.

My.

Me and my dad are super tight. Kind of said it in that meditation thing. He's done more than I could ever ask for. Still does. You know, he's. He's helped me a lot in my business. He's, you know, taught me a lot. He's man, he's just an amazing guy. He's insanely smart. He's 98 of the time. He's always right. You know, every time I've doubted him, he's usually comes back to bite me.

Obviously you don't like though.

Oh, something I don't like. Yeah, I mean, so here lately he's. It's become quite a bit of a recluse. He's. He's essentially like won the game. He's, you know, retirement age could, you know, really be living it up, having a great time. And he's seeing. It's kind of stuff I, I struggle with a lot, just with the, you know, not being able to or the self worth of self annihilation. Terrified to take a risk. He's, you know, playing it insanely safe, which I get. He, we. We lost everything in the 2008 thing. Went from really well off to insanely in debt. And just everybody, I mean, we were, we were in a bad spot for a long time, but I think that still really haunts him. And he overcame that. He did some amazing things to help us get out of that. We all did. Honestly, I did myself as well. But he plays scared. He's very set in his ways. You know, he's anti everything new, you know, technology, all this AI stuff, crypto stocks, you know, he's anti. Anti abundance in a lot of ways. And you know, as. As well as he has done, I feel like he's. He's just played scared a lot of times too.

And.

He is in a position now to do some amazing things. And he's still just in that, just that fear and that doubt and that scarcity mindset. Even though, you know, we're all three of us are in a much better place, you know, financially in a lot of other ways.

Yeah.

But yeah, playing scared and you know, being. Yeah, awesome.

No, thank you. That's great. Yeah, it became a little bit easier when you focused on it yeah, for sure.

Because again, gentlemen, my dad, man, he's my guy.

It is, it is. But bash on him for a second, dude, because it's like we got to get into that low energy.

Yeah.

We're sinking down in that stuff.

To blame him for much of anything, though, so it's. It's just different.

So 100. Just wait. Just wait then. It's hard to blame your dad. Just take some breaths. I got you. Don't worry. All right, let's go. My boy, Matt R.

Yeah, so, yeah, my dad was pretty awesome. He took me around the world. You know, I got to see a lot of things. And so 98 of the time, my dad was pretty. Pretty stellar. One memory that comes to mind to me is when my sister and I were young, he was. He was taking care of us. My mom took care of us most of the time. And he was trying to make Mac and cheese with peas, and he couldn't understand why either one of us wouldn't want to eat it. And it was like he just left. Like, we were like, I don't know, my sister must have been 11, and I was like 9. And he just left for a couple hours. And that really hit me. It was. One thing that he would do is escape from when it got difficult and when growing up, he wasn't always there. It was hard, you know, with my mom, but he was. He. I guess. And the other thing is he didn't know how to raise us. He couldn't relate to. Relate to me, you know, in a way to support me, truly. And so when. When it did get tough, he would. He would always escape. There were. There were times when he wasn't around, but when. When he was. It was. It was amazing. I would. I. I can't say more than that. On few years ago, I had to get, like, stop communicating with my parents to just kind of heal myself. And I remember telling my dad that until my mom got help that I was done with, I was. I. I had to step away from them. And at that moment, he. I mean, I was a grown adult at that time, and. And he couldn't understand where I was coming from. And I mean, at that. I mean, at that time, I still didn't understand, you know, what. What he was doing or why he was escaping, but he just walked out on. On me. And I didn't hear for them or I didn't communicate with them for a few years. So, I mean, it was just so hard as. As a. As a child with that. And one thing I remember Is I've got a picture of a lone wolf, and that was a picture when he was a kid that he remembers at his grandmother's that it was like one of his favorite pictures. And I was like, well, that's. That's my dad right there. The lone wolf. Know not wanting to. To be around people.

Sure. Yeah. It's a big one, man. The escape. Like, I like how you and Trent both use 98%. I mean, and again, it's. It's okay, but it's. It's. That's. That's how we heal this. Low masculine as we're aware of it, we know what it is. We know what it feels like. We nitpick. We're going to keep doing that for a little bit. But thanks for sharing that story, man. Yeah, it. It is scary to see. When your dad escapes or doesn't shine, then you get to ask yourself, how often have I escaped? Right. How often am I. Have I been scared of risk? How often have I been scared to shine? Step up and. And take some massive changes, massive chances. It's a big one. Rocco, you available to chat?

Yeah, man. One of the things I. I hit with my dad is that he is the reason for the divorce between me and my. He and my mom. You know, he was a playboy, but he's a great provider. He taught me a lot of things, kid growing up. But he also never like. Like you were mentioning earlier that he never looked at me and told me how much he loved me or even encourages me. In his mind, he felt like providing money and make sure food's on the table is enough for the family. And that was all his thing growing up. I guess that's how his parents taught him. And, you know, coming from a different country, the man is the head of the household. And as long as he could put food on the table, that makes him a man. Oh, but it's. It wasn't like that. You know, he made sure that he put them through college, got education, and he felt like that was about. So after the divorce between him and my mom, which is like 30. Sorry. Two years later, he still blamed my mom on to this day. Sure, he said, oh, my mom is the cause of all of that. But he never really took the responsibility of looking to him and see what he has done. At that time, I had my own house, so I took him in. He moved in with me. And all he keeps saying is like, my mom, my mom, like, listen, you got to stop this. This is not cool. You know, you. I know you Personally took your. You never take ownership of your faults like what you have done, but you contribute a lot to this. So he felt like at his age then he was like in his late 50s, going into the 60s, and he was mid-60s. He felt like he, you know, that time was washed up. He got sick, he felt like. And he has been battling cancer now for the past seven years. My friend who I went to his funeral Yesterday, died at 38 years old from cancer. Kept telling him, says, you know, you've got to stop this stuff. You are 70 right now. And the thing I hate about you, you never really took the time to understand what family is about. And we, my brother, you know, we're grown men today. And you really never took the time to say how much you love us, but you felt like providing money and you're there for the family. It was the most utmost thing to do. But it's not. Honestly, we didn't really need the money today. You don't have money for yourself today. You know, he. He is poor. He is poor mentally. He is poor physically. He sport emotionally. He felt like the reason for his position was because of my mom.

Sure. And so he stayed in that boy mentality too, for a long time.

He is 71 and he still is there.

Yep. That's powerful.

It's really sad. I love my dad. My dad taught me a lot. Of course, my dad told me life. My dad teach me stuff like, he's a great guy overall, but when become. When is the time for him to take responsibility for his actions?

Sure. 55 years ago, probably.

Yeah. Point fingers to everyone else except him.

Yep.

So I, I blame him for that for a while. I want to say this, you guys, and it's. I need to get this off my chest, but I really need the right people to speak to. My dad used to live with me and he. After him and my mom divorce, he still used to have this like, okay, I'm a bat you right now. I, you know, bachelor. I can go do what I want. Like, listen, at your age, you really can't do nothing much, but whatever you want to do, don't bring it to my house, take it outside. And me and him had a big fallout. And I told him, I says, you know what? You're a good guy, but don't. I don't ever want to be like you. I don't ever want to be the person that you are, so stop bringing that stuff. And we had to follow. And one day I was driving on the highway and something hit me And I was like, damn, it's my dad. How can I possibly. Like, you know, this is not a time for me to. And I called him and I told him, I said, dad, with everything that's happened, I love you, I will always love you and I'm always going to be here for you for whatever the causes. I don't care. You know, he never said I love you back to me. He never ever. I never heard, for six years, never heard my dad said to me, I love you. But I'm always there for him. I'm always. If you ever need me, I'm always there. I've always called a check up on him and his mindset. He feel like he don't want to bother nobody. You know, he is that type of guy. But if you don't tell us what's happening, we can't do nothing about it. No, he is sick. He is not doing so great. You understand mentally and emotionally that the grim reaper is right there knocking at your door. And if you don't fight back, it's going to get you.

Yeah, yeah, man.

So that's that stuff, man. I. I love the guy. He's been there, he's been a good dad, but the guy have no compassion at all. Sorry.

Hey, thank you for sharing, man. Thank you for getting that off your chest. Because, yeah, it's hard. And that's a position that so many men are in. And what happens is when we say, I don't want to be like, or I do not want. Right. The universe doesn't hear negative words. So it's just hearing whatever you say after, I do not. And it says want to be like. And if we repeat these. The things that we repeat are the things end up becoming true. And so when we're like, I don't want something, like, that's a lot of times what we're going to focus on and what's going to end up like manifesting ourselves into our lives. And there's. There's different pieces of that. So, Rocco, thank you for sharing that story. And for some of you, this part is going to be a lot easier. For some of you, I saw your faces. You're kind of struggling with the dad thing a little bit. Maybe some of you, like, I mean, Calvin was writing a novel over there. So, you know me, it was. It was really easy, Right? So for some of us, can be easier. For some of us, can be harder. You ready for a little bit of an easier one? All right, what do you like? What do you like about yourself? How quick is it for you to pick apart yourself but not your dad? Oh, no, not him. Not Pops. What did he do? Oh, look inside. What do you like about yourself?

You know what's funny is I sit here and I look at half of the that I wrote about my dad, and everything I don't like about myself is in there.

There you go, brother. Thank you. Thank you, Evan, for being strong enough to tell us that. It's so true, dude. So true. Like, you're gonna write these lists. Better look at it real quick, my dude, because you're gonna emulate pieces of that. We are. We are our dad until we start to heal this energy, whatever it is. And trust me, team, that anger, that low masculine, that boy, he just wants to be held. He wants to be nurtured. He wants to be cared for. He wants to be provided for. But we can begin to give ourselves that, because just like some of you, my dad has passed away. He's not here, so he can't physically do this. We can do it in a mental place. We can do it in a.

Like.

Like our last meditation on Monday. We can do it in places like that. And that's how that energy gets healed. That fighting, angry. Let me just run away from all these problems as soon as they hit me in the face. Nah, fuck it. I'm just going to burn to the ground. Get out of here. It's going to leave. What don't you write, like, about yourself? Start writing some of these things down. What do you judge about yourself harshly when you look in the mirror and you're like, God damn, I'm fat. Like, what is it? What is up with this love handles? What's up with my knees? I got the ugliest knees in the world. Are my knees so shitty? Why are my toes so pointy? All right, why. Why does my nose look like a small African village? Like, this is the biggest nose in the world? Like, why. Why is. Like, what do you. What do I need to judge? About yourself? What do you like about yourself? Write that down. Give me some good stuff, too. Give me some of that juicies. I don't want you guys to hold back too much because. Don't worry, I'll. I'll call on you at some point. Give me that. Good, Good. Calvin. What are we judging about your.

It?

All right, so this one should be a smidge easier for some of us, right? We probably don't want to blame our dad. And we have to think about, like, I don't want to blame dad. He didn't do anything wrong. That's not low masculine. That's your prince energy. Oh, low masculine. We can blame everyone all the time. Easily. Gets a little harder though, when you have to start blaming yourself. Because what this does is it helps you rise a little bit. And then we're going to sink back down, right? Because we're going to pull it up. We're going to keep playing with this energy of going up and down between those emotions that we all know that we have. So Michael, what do you not like about yourself? What do you judge about yourself? Dude, you smiling. Because like, this is easy, dog. How long do you got? I know we only got an hour. You're muted.

Yeah, well.

I'll just start with like my communication ability. I've noticed that through some of my tribulations, especially like maritally wise, like I'm a horrible communicator. I freeze up very easily and I, I have that inner dialogue of like, I don't know what to say. And instead of saying something, I'll just sit there with my thoughts and just let it continuously go. And then the communication portion doesn't really happen. So I don't like that about myself. And I've never really had like a really good example of how to like communicate. And it's just kind of like how you're saying about like, like some of the similarities between what I don't like about my father. It comes up within myself and that's, that's one of those things that has a comparison. He's a horrible communicator himself. I also don't like that I have a hard time showing intimacy and love. I also, I didn't like that like with my addiction. Like, I let it run rampant for so long. Like, I didn't start noticing that I had a problem until like I was 29. And like, for a long, A lot of that time I felt, I felt blinded by it. Like, I like ignored it and didn't think it was a problem. And then once it started to affect my marriage, then I like, I truly felt like, I felt really low about myself. I was like, man, like I'm, I'm one of those individuals that has a problem and like, it's affecting my relationships. So like, that's one of those things that like, I have a lot of like, self esteem issues about and like, it's part of the fuel that like, makes me continuously attack myself instead of like forgiving myself, like pushing forward with that. Like, I don't like that I let myself go physically and didn't keep up my fitness. Like for a lot of my, my life. I was always that like, fitness guy and like always in shape. Like probably like low 15 body fat. As I told you guys before, like, I did a bodybuilding show and got down to like 5% body fat and like look freaking amazing. But then after that rebound wasn't so great. And then I just like continuously just started to like, getting lower and lower. So I don't like, I, I let myself go in that aspect. Like, I have all this knowledge about like being fit and whatnot. But then I allowed myself to like be complacent and to just be lazy and then also, like escape as well.

Yeah.

I also don't like that like my, my discipline sometimes waivers, like with certain, with certain tasks or certain goals in mind. I've noticed this when it came to like my recovery work. That a discipline to like stay on track or even like discipline to continually try to do like the more uncomfortable things. I let that waiver for more conform or not conformity, but being more comfortable. Like, not liking how uncomfortable I am, like pushing away from being disciplined. I think I touched upon this already. Like, I don't like that I'm not like confident in who I am. Like, that's something that I'm still like going through this journey ever since, like I had. I run in with my addiction. Like, I'm trying to redefine like who I am and not define myself by my addiction. And then that like, self esteem issues. Like, I wish our. I don't like that. Like I have those self esteem issues.

Sure.

And from like, from the outside in, like, if somebody like saw me down the street, they'd be like, oh, that guy, like, it doesn't look like he have self esteem issues. But then like, what I used my like, my body for? To like display this image of being like healthy and in shape and.

Yeah.

And just like getting after it. Like, I was just using it as like an external shell to hide what was like truly going on. All my issues.

That's heavy. That's deep. That's good, dude. That's a good realization. How so how many days at sobriety at this point? Where are we at?

I think, yeah, I don't like checking, tracking, like my dates because I'm one of those individuals that like, if I constantly track at it, it'll actually do the opposite effect. It'll like, it'll make it harder for me to stay on track. So let's see, last time I said I was like 22. So it's been about a week. I'd say about 31 days.

Dude, let's go.

Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm short. It's 28, so well done, ma'.

Am.

Next. Next meeting, I'll be at 30.

Congratulations. Just start counting the months, then down some months.

Yep. Well, I had one of my brothers in recovery. He. He gave me a really good piece that, like, I stick with daily is that he doesn't make it like, oh, I've done this many days or this many months. He'll say, I've completed X amount of one day being covered. So he just like treats every single day like a brand new day. He's like, oh, I've had, you know, 300 one day recoveries.

Love it. That's awesome. That's a really cool perspective. I like that a lot. Thank you for sharing. My man Josh. What about you, bro? What do you not like about yourself?

Oh, man, I got a list.

I bet you do.

No, no, no. You know, I started this a while back and, you know, mine was kind of the opposite. Like, I knew so much what I didn't want to be like that. I just became this super disciplined, just business guy and I had to be miserable. I couldn't have any emotion and I was just dug in. And it served me very well for a while because it was just motivation. And then, you know, you got to start tying the purpose in. So I would say mine was just the ability to grind too much and not receive love and affection just because I think, you know, growing up without my dad around, my mom really didn't have a chance to see that or to even feel that. So I'm kind of seeing that now as I'm along my journey. My mom is so far out there because she had to just live such a hard life raising us that she really. I'm seeing her now. I'm like, man, we got to bring her along. So it's a really weird dynamic right now.

Sure.

Wow.

So we kind of got a really good education on you don't need anyone. You can do anything you want to do. You get your ass up, you go to work. If you're sick, you still go to work. Like, we got all that. We just didn't get, hey, this is what a marriage looks like. This is how you receive affection. This is how you receive love. So it was a weird.

I love you. Share that, man. Thank you. That's. That's a big one. Because I think you're going to appreciate the next exercise because of that. And it is. It's an exercise. It's a practice. The giving love and the receiving love. It just. It starts with that judgment. Judgment about yourself, judgment of others, knowing what that feels like, and then just shifting it as soon as it begins to happen, if it happens. Some of us can stay at a place ultimately and eventually where you're just in light so often that you don't even feel that judgment about yourself or others. So that's great, man. Thank you for sharing. John Lonzo, are you able to share? Are you driving? I know you're driving. You said you were going to drive. I don't think you're able to speak. I hope that. Hope that Tesla has that loudspeaker on. All the speakers are blasting this. All right, well, let's hop into the next thing that we got. And again, for those of you who are writing, this is going to be useful. I believe, or I hope or I feel that way. But as just a reminder, right? Low, masculine. It is the energy of escaping. It's what. By the way, this is my favorite part. You ready? This is what is extremely accepted in society, right? We must know it. That's what we're doing right now. We must know what it feels like to be petty, whiny little boys. But we have to avoid it. This is not a place that you want to go, right? We can go there to heal. You can go there around men like myself who have been there, who know how to get you out of it, who know how to pull you out of it, who know how to heal that little whiny little crybaby. But we must avoid it. And what's really powerful about what Josh just said, and Josh, thank you. Is how. How acceptable is it for the dad, like, Rocco, how acceptable is it for the dad to just work and bring money? I know in Josh's situation specifically, that wasn't exactly the case. But how easy is it for us to escape into work? How easy is it to escape? Listen, my role is to make money, bring the food, and feed everybody. What else do you want me to do? What else do you want for me, woman? Like, I worked 45 hours this week. First of all, I laugh at people that work 45 hours. That's funny. That's my first. That's my first laugh. Because, Edmond, you know that, right? Like, when people talk about how hard they work, and they're like, I worked 50 hours this week. I'm like, dog, it's Saturday. Wake up. Like, wait, I'll do 45 hours before Tuesday. Morning. Like, give me a break. But you could do all of it. But a lot of people, they do. They just escape into work. And guess what happened. Let's guess what's going to happen with football season coming up. Oh, man. Saturday nights, Sunday nights, we're gonna escape. It's a very accepted society.

A lot of times we do it and we don't even realize, like, that's what we're doing.

100% 1.

It took me. It took me, like, I'm coming up on day 60, and I'm like, what were you drinking so much for? And like, everybody always would say, you're escaping something, you're escaping something. But, like, now that I've been sober, I'm just like, holy shit. There was a lot of stuff that I was escaping, I was masking. I was trying not to feel. And now that I'm feeling it all, I'm like, this is. This is what life feels like. It's interesting.

But you're also probably like, this is why people escape. Because the shit's.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, when the kids are like. When the kids are running around, the house is a mess, and, like, your day's just not going right, and, like, you know, you could be fighting with your wife or your family or whatever, and you're just, like, sitting down and you're like this, I'm going to drink some beer. Like, I'm gonna go drink some bourbon. Like, this is like. And you just escape, man. It's.

Yeah, it's.

It's crazy.

Instead of sitting there, dealing with it.

Yep. Thank you, dude. Spot on. Spot on. And you said this perfectly. Literally, like, you read this, right? That low masculine energy, this is a boy energy. It's a complacency of light. It's the enjoyment of baseless pleasures that only subtract from your truest masculinity. Let that one hit home for just a quick second. Right? I get it. I like. I like those things, too.

I understand.

But they're baseless. They do not add to your power. Your low masculine energy is very often given to you. Is not yours. You inherited it. But it's your DNA. You call it society, call your parent, blame whoever you want to blame. That's okay, right? Remember, we're. I want to be in that energy for a second. But the goal is to upgrade your DNA, gentlemen. You can heal your lineage, both past and future, by upgrading, by pulling up, by going into different levels of both mental and physical and spiritual energy. And I realize fully that this is entirely different than anything about stocks and money day trading. But this is the. That matters because guess what? A lot of traders will escape as well. They. They think that's the only way to make money. They believe that's the only way to make an income. But they're still escaping. There's. They still don't want to face all the things they need to do. They don't want to cry in front of their wife or get angry or have a discussion because they know they're going to get angry and blow up. Right. That's a. That's my favorite one. They don't even want to have that discussion because they know they're going to explode. Because low masculine is unable to elevate. The boys who live here engage in petty thoughts and vicious judgment. So speaking of vicious judgment, I want to stay into this low masculine for a bit. I want to play with this con. I want to stay with our boy energy for just a moment as we blame, as we judge and we pick apart people. I want you to write down your thoughts about the men that I'm going to present to you and all. What. I want you to write down the number associated with this so we can go back and I can kind of call on you and ask a question. Right? So on each one, each one's going to have a number. Once you kind of write down that number for me. All right, we ready? Cool. Here we go. All right. Write down about number one. Write down number two. What do we got? Thoughts, feelings, beliefs, whatever. Whatever this conjures up. All right. This can be relatively quick. We don't have to write a whole essay.

Let's go.

Keep going. Right, here's three and four. Like that smile. Jeremy Ritz. What's that smile about?

You want me to share?

Yeah, sure. I'm.

I'm just gonna give you my gut reaction here. And I'm being judgmental. I said three looks like a. And four looks like a. Gritty.

Cool. I like that.

Although, I mean, the dude is, like, professional.

I get it. Yeah, Yeah, I get it. Do you know who number three is or no.

Nah. No clue.

Okay. Okay.

He looks Hollywood, man.

He looks Hollywood.

He is. He's one of the. He's one of the best actors in the world. Benedict Cumberbatch.

I was thinking. I was thinking number four. All the wrinkles. Each wrinkle has a story.

Nice, hard working man right there.

Number four. Number four is experience. All life has to throw at him.

Oh, yeah.

All right. This is fun. This is gonna be good. There's gonna be a lot of good discussions on this. All right, let's keep going.

And that still sitting there smiling, which is what I love. Four look or five looks like Jeremy Ritz's boyfriend.

Doesn't look like it. It is.

All right, jot down some notes. So we, we'll go back through these and share these. Don't worry. This is, this is good. But Ed Edmund thinks he's gay.

Yeah.

So that means he's ripped jacked people gay immediately gay.

No. Then why would I want to be gay? Don't, don't be. Don't make me get, go upstairs like honey, we're getting a divorce.

I'm gay.

Because I took Jeremy Newsom's course.

All right, so we got five, we got six. Just a couple more. Right. How fast are we to judge? How good are you at it? What are you seeing? What are your beliefs about these images? Because that little boy gentlemen forgot to tell you this. I want to wait until now. A little boy controls you. I don't know if anyone else has a two have ever had a two year old before. That two year old controls your day. Try to try to leave that two year old alone for an hour. Good luck. Right. It's like that, that two year old's controlling you. So the little boy inside of you is controlling you. These judgments, these things that you see, these subconscious images to 9 and 10. And then we'll go through some. Each one of these men, each one of these images is going to create something different for us. And each one of these men, some men, some images, some situations can create our paradigm. It can show us what we believe. It can show us our values and show us what we're avoiding. It can show us what we do not have. It can show us what we do not want. It can show us what we do want. Very, very interesting. Very, very powerful revealer. And that little boy, if you see that image, that person, that man, that stereotype in real life, you can just immediately result, re resort to that little boy energy. And the question is, how long are you going to stay there? So let's go back to number one. All right, so I'm just going to let whoever wants to go hit me with 1 and 2.

Non disciplined and disciplined. Cares about their appearance or doesn't care about their appearance. Does care about their appearance.

Okay, got it. Who else?

One, loss of confidence. Two, I think he is very much confident of himself, motivated.

I, I come from this world. Two is more or less confident than number one. Nine times out of ten Especially to be supposed to know photos.

Yeah, Yep, that's true.

I'm from that world. I lived in that world. That was, that was, that was what we did. Yeah.

It's interesting.

Yeah.

Number two, he probably definitely used some anabolics to get that. I'll tell you that right now. Bodybuilding is rampant with that. And most of those guys that have like those issues about themselves, they just, you know, they put it all into their, their body and they're just like, oh, if I build myself up, build myself up, like, I'll be this cool and like looked after guy. But really, he, he's just like you said, has probably less confidence or maybe a little bit more, but it's all just blind.

Wow.

Yeah, man. I, I, I don't know, but I got a question for that. So number one, look like, okay, I gotta accept life the way it is because I like my belly more than anything else. And his appetite, he looked like very much like he gave up on life. Two, I am not sure if anabolic is, it's such a good example for that one, but this is my opinion because there's a guy in my gym, like, the guy is 65 years old. He is an ex cop. He was like number one when he was NYPD. And the guy looks way better than number two right now. At 65 without no anabolic steroid. He's a good friend of mine, but he's been working out, doing whatever. He's very like calisthenics, CrossFit. He's into lightweight training. At 65, the guy is much ripper, the number two.

That's awesome.

So I, I don't know. I mean, like, yeah, it doesn't have.

To be steroids, right? Like, Mike's just saying, like, that's his, that's his judgment, right? He's gonna look at, he's gonna judge like, oh, that person's on steroids. It's a good judgment to have, right? Because that means like, oh, if you have something like you, you were given it, right? Like you didn't work hard for it.

I was gonna say that, I was gonna say that number one is probably like, he's just probably like a big, soft, like, sensitive guy. Number two is like, probably like super cocky and like gets angry sometimes and like, it's like a playboy.

Sure. But guys, these are good, right? These are good judgments. Like, these are, I'm glad we're feeling these because when we're in that boy energy, we're gonna lash out, but we're also gonna see what is it that we do not want? Because guess what? Calvin does not have this body, nor does he have this one. Because Calvin doesn't want to be a soft, right? But he also doesn't want to be this guy. I mean, think about that, guys, right? If we see someone, we're like, no. And we immediately judge them. That generally means we do not want to be that person for whatever reason, for whatever they possess, right? Calvin doesn't want to be an angry, mean, arrogant person. He wants to be nice, cool, calm and kind. So we're going to avoid. Does that make sense, gentlemen? If we see someone and we're like, absolutely not. And then we're going to throw a judgment out them, that means that we don't want to be that. Which is why I get to come to number three and get to ask my boy Jeremy Ritz called this dude a pussy. Hey. Which is beautiful. Thank you. And, and again, here's my judgment. Let me share with you mine. I was like, success, power, prestige, honor, integrity. And then homeless, no teeth, poor. Those are my judgments. And I mean, dude, this could, this could be his picture of him. I know it's not, but you know what I'm saying? Like, I. My judgment on this one, gentlemen, is I never met my grandfathers. That's why I'm being so cruel to this man. I never knew my grandfather. I never knew those energies. I never knew the cute old man who was wise and powerful and had done all of it and was able to give me advice. That's why I'm so judgy against that.

I see like four. I always think like, like I see so many people now that are like, man, you, you got caught in the machine. Like, you just kept your head down and kept grinding and you were just a tax paying citizen and another vote to be persuaded. And you raised your kids and did all you were supposed to do, but you never had that prosperity because the man had their foot on your neck and nobody woke you up.

Oh, sure. And we don't know anything about this man, Right? Just a photo. I mean, this guy could be worth 40 million, $404 billion. Like we have no idea. But that's what's beautiful, right? Think about how quick that judgment happens, gentlemen. That's all. That's what this exercise is for. Like, how quick can you go there? It's not a negative or a positive. It just, it is how quick.

It's weird because it's weird because I like, for some reason, I like number four. Like, I don't Know, it kind of reminds me of like the army vets that are homeless or struggling that this country has forgotten about, forgotten about. Looks like he's been through struggles. It looks like he's got every, you know, like my man said, every wrinkle tells a story. But my man's still sitting there smiling like, what? I'm this age, I made it this far, and I still got more in me.

I love that man. So let me ask you this question. According to what I'm hearing you saying, you. You appreciate hard work, you appreciate the person who grinds it out. You don't love people who are given success.

Yeah.

You know, a lot of the people who are in easy, profitable, amazingly amount of money roles. Right?

Yeah.

Because again, we know him or not. First of all, Imitation Game, one of the best movies ever. If you guys haven't seen it, it's incredible. And he's an incredible actor. You know, it's worth a couple hundred million dollars. I like him a lot. He's played all kinds of roles, whatever. No big deal. Again, I don't know. Number four. So. Yeah, so whoever said Hollywood, I forget who said that in the beginning, but he is. He is Hollywood. Right? That is a Hollywood actor. And. But we can. We can see through these judgments, right? We can see these judgments what our characters and what values we. We like. And there's nothing wrong or right, gentlemen, it's just that it is right. So I appreciate you sharing that, Edmund. Thank you. What do we think about number six? Let's go with Trent. Six versus five. Trent.

I think 6 looks like happy, fulfilled. When I put priorities in line and then five got strong fit, discipline, ripped, confident. Yeah, that's kind of all I got.

Okay, so Mr. Spread the positive over there, being all.

Happy, I mean, that's what I see. Dude looks. Dude looks super ripped and like about to. I don't even know, maybe like some MMA stuff. I don't know, warrior, whatever. Sure looking to take on the world. And dude on or number six just looks like he's kind of winning the game, if I'm being honest. You know, he's got his girl, got his kid, living like happily. Everybody's smiling. I mean, he's learning.

I love it, love it. Do you want to have any negatives?

I do so. Well, not negative, but like the number six. So I grew up in a high poverty area, have a lot of African American friends. Grew up, like, one of my most difficult schools that I worked at was probably 70, 80% African American. And when I look at that I'm like, that's what you need to be doing.

Right.

Like the African American fathers out there. There's so many problems with issues that, you know, keep being brought up about race and this, that, the other. And I'm like, that right there is a prime example of. Of a. Of a man that's sticking around for his kids.

Love that. What about number five?

Five is, for me, more like he's all in on himself. He just cares about himself, and he's focusing all his time and energy on him.

Sure. Yeah. I wrote down Photoshopped AI fake Judgy McJudgerton over here. Right. At six. Yeah. Six is. I did. I had nothing negative to say. Pinnacle of happiness. Right? And so here's the question, gentlemen, here's a qu. You ready? Which one do I have more of? This one or this one? Right. I have this photo almost. I definitely do not have anything that this dude has anywhere in my body. Right. So what I'm judging. I'm judging these ripped dudes, and I'm attracted to this. But that's what's beautiful, is our values. Right? We get to see what are we judging. And when you start to see this judgment. So when you feel that judgy, yelly crybaby that's inside of all of us, and we start to understand that energy, and we can see how quick we can tap into it and access it, then it allows us to know what it feels like. And once we know what it feels like, we can move on from it. We can heal it. So let's go with Jeremy Ritz on this one because he had such positive things to say about the other guys.

This one was kind of tough for me. I really felt indifferent. But the. The deciding factor is number eight. Looks like Marcus Luttrell, former Navy SEAL badass. And I look up to that dude. I don't know if you guys ever listened to the podcast that he did with Rogan, but it's one of the best hero story. He was a lone survivor, so he just looks like he's getting ready for battle. Now, I know he's wearing business attire, but, like, going into that sales meeting or getting ready to do a presentation.

Like, let's get the after it.

When I see number seven, it's cool. It's like, all right, chilling. Sing a little bit. But I like number eight. Let's get the after it. That's my natural reaction.

So you're racist. Got it. Just kidding.

Just kidding. Just kidding.

Seven reminds me of, like, someone that's emotional. That's in tune with their inner emotions. Just. And he's not afraid to, not afraid to show it. Just does his thing.

I like it.

I had passionate in his own and talented for seven. Yeah. Like that's, that's passion and being in your zone. That's what I saw.

What'd you have for eight?

Ready to go. Successful and discipline.

Okay.

So funny man. I had such a different reaction to these.

Same.

Well, look, at least Calvin's in his boy Trent strength Turner being his prince. I'm like, he's being all nice to everybody.

I'm, I'm like seven's like suave and like artistic and like cool. I'm like eight to me is like forgettable. Like this guy is like getting ready to go out to Vegas and like thinks he's gonna get some and he's gonna go home empty handed. Like he's just a normal white guy.

Look, he got it, he got his, he got his ring on too. And he's still going to Vegas.

Yeah, still trying to get some.

Calvin, number eight look powerful. Number nine. Number seven looks cool. Like I got a swag. You know, I'm all of that. I can do whatever kind of. But number eight is like, listen, let's get it on. We're gonna go out, we're going to knock them dead.

I like that. You guys see that in this face? This face, this face looks to me like misery, right?

I was about to say that he looks like a 9 to 5 worker. Hates his job. Kind of square.

Just miserable. Now what's interesting about that is let's, let's look at this for a second, right? For a second, when I'm getting ready in the mirror, what do you guys think I'm doing? Am I looking like that or am I trying to smile? Because for me, if I'm getting ready and I'm putting on my tie, which I never wear a tie, but if I'm putting on a tie and I'm looking in the mirror like I want to be smiling. So I'm going to try to avoid whatever, whatever his reaction is. I try not to go there very often if it is go into battle like Ritz said, or you know, if it's miserable. I'm just trying not to have his face. But at the same time, men that have his face can do so many powerful things, right? They can accomplish so, so much. They can have that zone of genius. They can have that focus, they can have that discipline. And I'm over there just smiling and laughing loudly, right? I Get anything done. So it is. It's a beautiful, beautiful representation. This is great. All right. This is my. I love this one. This one's so fun. All right, Trent, come on. Give me something negative, please. I'm looking for boy energy.

Yeah, man. I got for number nine, I said law, lost, angry, confused, identity crisis. Yeah. And then I actually had. For 10, I kind of had the fake, miserable, powerful playboy type. Yeah, I mean, that was the one that got me that. That guy actually looks miserable to me. Like, he looks. Yeah, just 100% fake. Putting on a front, trying to hide some very, very low masculine energy. Boy stuff, in my opinion.

Okay, all right, I like that. Thank you. Thank you. Whoever wants to go, just keep going. Hit me up.

Nine still hangs out the skating ring.

Skating rink.

Definitely picks up girls there. Steals his grandma's oxies and sells them there out of his 98. We've built this profile before.

That's funny because Newsom, that used to be me when I was 16 right there.

Oh, that was it, huh? That was it.

Go ahead.

To me, nine look like, oh, whatever. Lifestyles of me, I'll have to accept it, man. But you know, I'm just chilling. Whatever. He don't look like you have any direction in life. Like he, he just give up on everything at that age. And he just going through life with emotion. Number 10. For me, he looks powerful. He looked like Wolf of Wall street kind of guy, you know, cocky, like he got a swag. He. He got everything. But when I look at someone like that, two things come to mind is either you got it or you're just putting on a front.

So I, I was, I was thinking low self esteem for both of them.

Wow.

Number not number nine is more like, you know, he's like no respect. You know, he'll get in a fight, like instantly. And like number 10, he indulges to hide his self esteem, you know, his low self esteem. So it's like, you know, both of them are putting up a front. And really behind the scenes, it's like they both are. Like they just don't have any, any real self esteem. Wow.

You know what's funny about nine is nine. I mean, he definitely looks like a up, like a punk. He's depressed and all in his mood, in his feelings. But another part of me is like, he probably has a fun life, like you said. Like, he'll get in fights, he'll get drunk, he'll do drugs, he'll go to concerts and get in the mosh pit. Like he probably has an exciting life.

10.

Yeah, man. I agree with you, Matt. I mean, this. This is a man of his vices, right? He's got a cigar in one hand, he's got gin in the other. And I don't know how rich he is. I mean, he might pretend to be rich.

I don't know.

He seems rich.

Love this. This is good. This is good. Gentlemen, again, this one of my favorite slides, because this is just so polar, right? It does bring out a lot for people. Again, thank you. Because again, I want. I want us in that boy energy. I want us that. That judgment. Pick apart, like, you're. Hey, I'm better than you. So now what I want you to do is I want you to. I'll go back through them, but I want you to write, which number are you and which number do you hate the most? Which number are you and which one do you hate the most? And there's only 10 to choose from, so pick one wisely. So we'll go through it again. 1 and 2. Which one are you and which one do you hate? I am using the word hate intentionally. Which one do you hate the most? All right, All right. I want you all to hit me with this one.

All right, so I'll go first. So I am a six. Now. Up until about just a few months.

Ago.

I was a 10. That's what I was doing.

10.

And I absolutely hate nine because that's exactly who and what I was growing up.

M.

Powerful. Thank you, dude. Calvin.

I'm probably 8 right now. I think I could easily slip into 10 if I had some money. I hate number one. I don't want to be that fat, But I also don't want to be old. I don't want to be number four either, so.

Yeah, well, number four is happening, so strap in. Right. Nothing we can do about number four. Let's just come in. Don't die young. That's the only way to get there. That one. Well, thanks, Kyle. Thank you, Ritz.

Eight. The.

The dad. Or I'm sorry, six. I'm sorry, six. That's the most important to me. Dad, husband, father. And I'd go, three is hate. Because I. I did some Wikipedia research on this dude just to see where his money came from. And again, here's a judgmental part of me there, of course. So you have to work as an actor, but it came through family, so there's a part of me that believes in the American dream of building it yourself, creating it yourself. So right or wrong?

Sure. Little bitch. Love it. All Right, Matt?

My knee. My knee jerk reaction was one and nine. So one, I'm like, sad or I feel comfortable where I'm at, but then I'm torn because, like, I am six with family, with my boys, and then four just from the, I don't know, experiences of life that I have. Number nine is the one that I hate. And at first I was thinking it was like, no respect, but I think it's more for me, it's like empathy, not having empathy for others.

Gotcha. That's a big value for you. Thank you, Trent.

Man, I'm kind of torn.

Oh, you're muted somehow. We heard, we heard. I'm kind of torn, though.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of torn. Just going through some of this self discovery stuff here lately. I feel like I'm aiming to be in the. I feel like 7 and 8 are kind of like a combination of where I'm at. I don't know if that's allowed, but trying to really, you know, you know, step into this purpose and be more in front of the camera. I've been behind the camera and push and record a lot for a lot of other people here lately and feel like God's calling me to, you know, step out and really be like this, this different, more out in front of people, speaking my truth, doing my thing. Definitely kind of see that for seven and. And then honestly, man, I really hate 10. I feel like 10 is honestly the root cause of a lot of the world's problems. You know, I know it takes money and power to build great things at times, but I don't know, there's. There's something about just ego and greed and, you know, just excess and just. There's just a bunch of that. That's like literally ruining this whole entire existence for or a lot of people. And I'm. I'm not a huge fan of that.

Thank you, Michael.

Yep.

So I was number two. And seeing that, I was like, man, I took all those, like, pictures before, but now I'm six, but I feel like one, like, oh, going from two to one and losing everything. Like, I don't know if you guys ever heard of it, but, like, body dysmorphia, like, I still struggle through that internally, but I, like, have this yearning to, like, go back to like, being like two and five physically. Like, a lot of the characteristics I explained about, like, what I saw with like 2 and 5 has been changed. If you had talk to me like, three or four years ago, I would have been like, oh, that guy Works hard. Like, he cares about his body, but, like, now, like, I see it as, like, that's all he has. And, like, yeah, it would be great to have that physically, but I know, like, I don't want to be back into that kind of mental state. I want to be, like, more reformed with the sixth mentality of being this family man. Cares about his wife and kids and providers and, you know, also cares about, like, keeping himself fit and not just being, like, having no debt. And I hate the most nine because it just shows, like, so much immaturity, so much boy energy. Probably illiterate. Illiterate, and, like, has probably that, like, gang mentality. Like, oh, like that. That stuff's cool. And, like, is very immature.

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Rocco. Did you go? I don't think you've gone yet. And then I'll do Josh.

Yeah, for sure, man. I, I, I hate nine. Nine. You know, I was between nine and one, but I, I think one have a better chance and redeeming himself and become somebody better. But for nine, for sure, it's like gang mentality. I, I would like to think I'm, I'm eight, but I would definitely want to be six. I, I'm not that ripped, like, number five, but, you know, it's something I, I feel, in my opinion, if I can do for myself, I can't do for my family. So I like to put myself in that seat where I'm like, I need to take care of me mentally, physically, emotionally, get myself in that state so I'm able to provide and be that person. Sure. I want to be for my family. Six, for sure. It's. It's what I, I would love, for sure.

Thanks, man. Josh, last but not least.

Yeah, so I'm a, I'm an eight, but, man, I'm ready to start doing three things. You know, I've done sweat equity and bootstrapping. And, man, if you. You think of the hardest way to come up in business, I've done it. And I think to hit that DECA millionaire status, you got to learn to play with the threes, because the threes that figured it out. As much as we want to hate them, all their trust fund babies, they figured the world out, and they can get things done with phone calls. So that's what I'm trying to learn. That's my goal this year, is to meet more people that aren't like me. As far as nine, that's my most frustrating one, is because we hire a lot of guys like that, and I coach them Up. I find that they're really, really, really talented people. It's just untapped. So the frustration for me is just them wasting their talents.

Sure. Yeah.

Love that.

That's awesome, man. Yeah. And that's. That's kind of the same way for me, because that, for me, I. I am. I am three. I see this one that's is. This is the one I relate to and connect with the most. And then the one I hate is 10. Kind of like with Trent, Even though I've been that man many, many, many, many times in my life. Looks like a little mafia boss, right? With the cigar and the drink and all that stuff. I just like your. Your wife doesn't love you if you have a wife. It's just kind of how I feel. But here's the powerful one, gentlemen. As long as you judge men, you will judge yourself. You'll never be truly, truly escaping of judgment until you can look at all of those men and not drop into boy energy. And that is the distinction, that is the fun challenge for all of us, is when you see a nine, a ten, a five, the. The abs. When you can look at that and no judgment will come up, that's when you know you're in your king. I know that's hard. I know that's difficult. I realize that. That's why it's here. But when you can do that, you will know you're in king energy. When you see a fat man and you're like, what's up, brother? Right? Big old hug, all good. Like, nothing comes up about hatred, judgment, fat, obesity. It's just like, here's this person and you don't even see the skin, right? Or number nine that we all hate so much. When you see that guy and you're like, what is up, Daniel? How are you, man? How was the party last night? And you're just there to help. You're there to pour in love, that's that divinity. That's that kingship. Because you got to ask yourself, how would God look at all those men? What would he say? Right, Divine king, so let's do a meditation. So not be a very long meditation, but hopefully it will be very powerful. If you have to go at exactly 8:30, let me know. We got three minutes. Might be a little bit right in the middle of this meditation, but this meditation won't be that long. 10 minutes max. If you have to go to exactly at 30, I understand. So do this for me. This is going to be all nose breathing. What I want you to do is what's called the fire, the breath of fire. So I want you to breathe about as fast as you can in and fast as you can out. It'll sound like this. Go ahead and do it.

Now.

We're gonna do it for 60 seconds. Keep going. Because I can't do that and speak simultaneously. So in through the nose, out through the nose. Fast. Nice and fast, like it's a heavy, intense workout. 5, 4. At the end of 1, breathe all of your air out. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. All of your air out. Nothing in your body at all. No oxygen, no air. No air, no air. Hold it for 10 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Big breath in. All of it out. All through the nose. Clo. Keep your mouth closed. Hold all of your air out. No air, no oxygen in your body at all. Nothing. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Breath in. That should feel really good. One more big, big breath out. No oxygen. Breathe it all out. All through the nose. Nothing. Hold nothing. No oxygen. Nothing in your body whatsoever. You have nothing. You're empty. Need to breathe so bad. 15 seconds. Do your best to hold. 13, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Breathe in and hold that breath. Hold that breath for as long as you can. Now go ahead and close your eyes for me. Keep that breath in. And as you're holding your breath, as your eyes are closed, slowly breathe out your nose. And I want you to think about. I want you to imagine really, really beautiful path. This path is going to form at your feet as you close your eyes.

This is a.

Whatever path you want it to be. Anything and everything is perfectly fine. Totally acceptable. It can be grass, it can be stone, it can be a rainbow, it can be brick, can be carpet. And I want you to begin to walk down this path. As you walk down this path, keep walking. And now slowly return your breath back to normal. Breathe in through the nose, out through the nose. Keep your mouth closed during this entire process and only breathe with your nose. As you walk down this path, notice a huge gate in front of you. Massive gate. Just take note of what this gate looks like just for a moment. And then walk up to the very, very, very, very, very front of that gate. And with your right and left hands, put your right and left hand on the gate and push it open. Those huge, massive doors are going to swing open and you're going to walk inside of this gate. As you walk inside this gate, I want you to take a deep breath in. I want you to realize that right now you are inside the garden of your heart. We will return back to this place numerous times. In the garden of your heart.

As.

Far as the eye can see right now, there is just flowers, fields to your left and to your right. You're still on the exact same path you started on. To the left and to the right. There are flowers, there are fields, there's grass, there's trees. It's a beautiful, beautiful garden. Walk a little bit on this path, just a few steps. And continue breathing in and out through your nose. As you walk down this path into the garden of your heart. To the left, as you turn to the left, I want you to notice that one of the trees in this garden is dead. There's so many trees around it. But there's this one tree in particular that is totally rotten, and you don't know why. So you walk off the path onto the nice, soft grass of your garden. Nothing here to hurt you. Nothing here to cause you any pain. Just beautiful, plush grass. As you walk up to this tree, this old, broken, rotten tree, you get a little closer and you notice that this tree has a hole in it. Kind of like in the storybooks that we used to read as kids, like the Winnie the Pooh type of tree, where there's this nice hole in this rotten tree. As you gaze into this hole for just a quick second, this black hole, there's nothing inside. There's nothing that's going to hurt you. A face appears. A face appears of some man that has hurt you the most in your life. I want you to take note. Who is this man this hurts you the most? Is it you? Is it your father? Is it your boss? Is it your brother? Uncle? Is it someone you went to high school with? Who is the man in this tree? I want you to look into that person's eyes and say thank you for the gift that you gave me. You gave me something that I have never truly cherished until now. And I want to say thank you. Your gift has inspired me. It has given me courage. It's given me honor. It's given me perseverance. It's given me discipline. And I hereby now release all of the chains that you hold over me. I fully forgive you. I love you. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for giving me such a fantastic gift. And I fully forgive all the pain, all the anguish, all the frustration, all the anger that I held towards you. I want you to hug this tree. Wrap your arms around this tree as much as you can. If your arms go all the Way around, great. If not, that's perfectly okay. But hug this tree. And as you hug this tree, the tree returns back to a beautiful, huge tree. You can actually see it. You can feel the bark becoming more alive, the tree becoming more alive. You have healed fully this relationship between you and this person. And thus the tree is now radiant, fully alive. Flowers with branches, with leaves. It is the most healthy tree. You can let go of this tree. Turn back onto the path, knowing that you will be back here again very soon. Take a right on the path and you will see the gate from the other side. The doors are still open. Walk to the gate of your heart. Close those ginormous gates, those huge doors. And as you continue to walk down your path back to where you are now, I want you to take three deep breaths. One in. And blow all the air out. We're going to hold it for 10 seconds. In through your nose, out through your.

Nose.

All the air. Push, push, push, push, push. 10 second hold. Breathe in, breathe out. All your air out. Breathe out through the nose, Jeremy. All the air out. No oxygen in your body. Hold for 10 seconds. We'll do that one more time. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Breathe in, breathe out. All the air out your body. 10 second hold. Breathe in. And slowly open your eyes. And I do care so much and so deeply about all of your time. I do apologize for going over a little bit. Let me give you your homework and then I want you to share in your WhatsApp. When you're ready, I would love for you to share your takeaway from the meditation. Who is in the tree? Could have been you. Could have been God. There's no wrong answers. There's only right answers. And I would love for you all to. If you have not done this and you do not have an Audible account, I'm sorry, I'm gonna make you spend money. You already have one. Great. But get audible. Get. Figure out how to listen to this book, Outwitting the Devil. I want you to listen to it this weekend. Today, tomorrow. You have to listen to the entire book this weekend. But begin to listen to the book this weekend. I want you to tell me how you are drifting right now. Be brutally honest and this will begin to heal again. More of that B. That boy energy. And then if you wrote anything on paper, this is important. If you wrote it on paper or you put it into your phone. Please delete all the things you wrote down about your father or yourself. That is boy energy that does not belong in your life. Burn it or write it or delete it from your phone or your, your computer. That's very important because again, we are going to continue to go into different energies, but we're not going to stay in those energies ever. Us going into the garden of your heart, that is a divinity, that is a place of divine, that's a place where God speaks to you. You will always hear God in your heart, never in your head. And we will be returning to the garden of your heart. That is a very divine, very spiritual practice, very powerful. When you were there, you were always in the divine king energy. You were never in boy energy. So we have escaped the low energy. We were in it for about an hour and a half ish. We know how it feels. There are going to be times we're going to go into our darkness in the future. We're going to get real dark and it's going to get real deep and we're going to get real ugly and then we're going to heal the Viking and then we're also going to go back into our divine energy. So we're always going to be able to tap into our kingship. Gentlemen, continue with your protein, Continue with your posts on WhatsApps. Continue with your bear crawls. Continue with eating less consuming, more protein, breathing more, drinking your water, staying vice free, sobriety free. If you trip up, post about it in WhatsApp. Don't be a scaredy cat. We are here to support you. No one will judge you, no one will make fun of you. But be here for us. Be here for you. Thank you so much for giving me your time today.
