TRUE N🧭RTH

We've all seen it in movies or heard from friends: the d readed "When are we getting married?" conversation. It's a question that can send shivers down anyone's spine, ushering in a wave of emotional pressure. This scenario unfolds in a familiar pattern. A man enjoys a happy relationship, but as time marches on, the woman's desire for marriage grows stronger. Feeling a sense of urgency, she starts, often unintentionally, to pile on the pressure. The pressure cooker environment can manifest in a few key ways. The woman might deploy tactics that trigger specific emotions – guilt, shame, or even fear – to nudge the man towards marriage. Emotional manipulation might rear its head through comments that subtly question his commitment or veiled threats about the relationship's future. If these tactics prove ineffective, she might withdraw emotionally, becoming distant or disagreeable. This shift in behavior creates a suffocating atmosphere, leaving the man feelin...

To illustrate what I mean by this, let me share an anecdote from my personal life. Many years ago, the woman I was dating had a girlfriend come into town, and the three of us went out to dinner together. And over the course of this meal, it became apparent that this woman didn't yet have a place to stay for the night. The woman I was seeing invited her to stay with her, but this woman's solution was to text a guy she had gone out with a few months ago. The plan was to meet him out for a drink, go back to his place, spend the night with him, and then get on with whatever it was that she came into town to do. Now the guy doesn't know this yet. This is just the woman's plan for the evening. When we expressed our concern, she tried to reassure us by saying, oh, it's fine. I don't really like this guy, so it's okay if I just use him for the night. And I remember turning to the woman I was with and jokingly asking her if she might try liking me a little less, bu...

"Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison." The first generation that grew up as digital natives is now entering their marriage and relationship years and all they have to show for it is hook up culture. Teaching young guys about female nature is like teaching a people in the south pacific how to ski; it’s completely irrelevant. Learning about female nature is more of confirmation bias this days. Now its more probably about making guys feel secure in their subconscious choice to avoid women and relationships.  As men burn in passion in the wilderness of north America, this website called interesting engineering says: "we have entered an age of readily available AI girlfriend and AI sex bots." SexTech is expected to be a $3.3 billion industry by 2033, with a growing rise in pr...

In the pursuit of human excellence, a timeless philosophy emerges: the integration of scholarly pursuits and the spirit of a warrior. This amalgamation, echoed through the ages, resonates with empirical research revealing the profound advantages of a harmonious blend of intellect and action. Aristotle, a revered philosopher, extolled the virtues of balance between intellectual growth and physical vigor. His proposition resonates deeply with contemporary studies that emphasize the cognitive benefits of physical activity. Research conducted by Hillman, Erickson, and Kramer (2008) elucidates how exercise enhances cognitive functions, specifically in executive control and memory retention, aligning with the concept of a scholar athlete. Moreover, the convergence of wisdom and action finds resonance in biblical wisdom. In the book of Proverbs, Solomon urges the pursuit of knowledge alongside moral courage, proclaiming, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise ...

n Sufism, the collective consciousness makes up the one true God. This one true God is the macrocosm, and those who gather to make it are the microcosms, or atoms. This interconnected system has codes of conduct. In the ancient era, these codes were called the 42 ideals of Ma'at, and initiates renounced vices from their psyche. In the modern era, black people have become savage because they don't have such codes to maintain law and order in their communities. Neely Fuller Jr., empathizing with the plight of black people in North America, constructed a single code that would harmonize the original people: no contact, no conflict. Awareness is necessary so that we can witness the vile behavior that comes out of black people when they make contact. A good example is when DJ Moh flashed his gun during his friend's birthday bash. After night or day shifts, when black people now lack something useful to do, they show off. The prime ingredient of this poison is boasting. In the sc...

What can possibly be happening in the minds of men sitting in female dominated space, box of tissue at their side, with a woman saying “tell me how you feel” about this or that? Even worse, asking such probing questions with the implication that he is an empty emotional vessel in need of her redemption. Lea Winerman, a staff writer for the American Psychological Association asks us to “imagine the Marlboro man in therapy.” Imagine instead a therapy office in the boiler room of a ship, in a workshop, a park, a building site, mechanics shed or a sports locker room, with seating arrangements that allowed men to sit at 45 degree angles or side by side — engaged in some kind of task if they wished.           Imagine too if we were to engage in some kind of typical male play or industry – not just Jungian sandplay or water-color art therapies as suits the more effeminate sensibilities of women, but hands on therapy – while driving a truck, fixing the engine of a ...

In recent years, there has been a growing political divide between young men and women in many countries around the world. This divide is evident in a number of areas, including attitudes towards gender roles, social issues, and even the way that young people view the future.  One way to understand this divide is from an evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary psychologists argue that men and women have different evolved psychological predispositions, which can lead to different political views. For example, men are more likely to be concerned with power and status, while women are more likely to be concerned with relationships and social harmony. This difference in priorities can lead to different views on issues such as economic inequality, immigration, and war. Another way to understand the political divide between young men and women is through the lens of Carl Jung's concept of the shadow. The shadow is the unconscious part of the personality that contains all of the aspects of...
