I haven't visited this forum in several years. There was a time when this place was at once a sanctuary and a well of knowledge for me. Today, I am occupied elsewhere, exploring new territory, breaking new ground, fighting more viscous demons. As a man always must do, as his nature requires of him.

 

That is the first point to take away: You are here as part of your process of learning how to become a man. Your society has failed to teach you. You may have been, or you might be going through a phase where you view this as a great curse, and so you curse the society that cursed you. With time you will recognize what a great blessing it is: an unimaginably glorious blessing. The best gift that any generation of men has been given so far!

 

Anyway, I'm currently going through a process of looking through the last phase of my life to see what diamonds I left behind on my first run through. The first run through is always the messiest, the most feverish, you NEED TO GET OUT OF THE LABYRINTH!!! So you're not really paying attention as you sprint down its corridors.

 

A quick glance at the current top post immediately gives me hope for the next generation. It almost saddens me to say that yes, I am that old. How did it happen? I'm not sure. You won't be either, trust me.

 

When this whole thing was first getting going in the early 2000s (and its real roots can be traced as far back as the early newsgroups... maybe further?) we didn't have the internet of today. No youtube, no social media, no reddit, no self-help guru just one click away. But we had the internet, and that allowed us to finally thrive.

 

We were the first generation who went through a fully conscious transition in relatively large numbers. We had each other, a handful of self-anointed gurus of the previous generation (and since they lacked the net almost entirely, their transition was incomplete more often than not) and that was it. The only other role models were men who had gone through the process mostly unconsciously. So they were of no use when it came to explanations. Certainly, they were of no use when it came to the application of the idea of going beyond your limits. The majority of them could scarcely be called men.

 

When can a man say he has completed his transition into manhood? From some perspectives, there is no end to the transition. But a meaningful turning point is when a man recognizes how to tame his demons in order to use them to his benefit.

 

That is what this whole thing is all about. Your demons within: your violent nature, your desire to conquer and possess, women most of all! When they are tamed and consciously utilized towards a meaningful progression, they make up the constituent parts of what we call a man.

 

Before puberty, a boy isn't even aware of these demons. He is innocent, feminine. He operates on a temporary personality structure given to him by his first caregiver(s); the one(s) who taught him to speak his first language, and served as his first model(s) for people. Typically, that means his mother.

 

During puberty, his demons awaken. He starts to masturbate! And he is immediately shamed for it (or otherwise encouraged to do it as often as possible to porn. I'm not sure which is worse. To deny a singular demon power, or to give him absolute power over the entire personality?). One by one the demons awaken, in fits of rage and outbursts of violence. The boy begins to rebel against his world, and he doesn't even know why. One by one, the demons are negated, labeled as evil, and pushed back into the abyss of the boy's shadow. This does not end the boy's rebellion, nor the demons thirst for power. It merely turns it into a secret rebellion. What's worse, it scrambles the boys temporary personality structure: the one that has been sanctified by society as an ideal to be pursued!

 

Here the boy faces a turning point. He can attempt to reconcile the conflict he feels, or otherwise narcotize himself in one way or another and pretend he doesn't feel it, and turn his boyish personality into a permanent one. Most of your peers will unfortunately go this route, our time is not yet. But don't despair... the first rays of light are about to burst across the horizon.

 

What are the first rays of light? The fully conscious men of your generation. You are the first generation with the potential to make the transition in large enough numbers (and to be of a high enough quality) so that mankind can finally shine that motherfucking metaphorical light upon the world, that we have been pining for and claiming to have done, for the past 5,000 years!

 

But as wonderful as your achievements may be. Oh, and btw, etch this into your fucking skulls: YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BE BETTER THAN US! That means: more viscous, cruel, cunning, and lethal... but also... more loving, patient, brave, and wise. Loving? I thought that was a pussy thing? A man gives tough love to the world. What is tough love? Every time the universe, often in the guise of another man, gives you a stern kick in the ass. It's a reminder that Chaos is always just two steps away, and the only thing it wants is to KILL YOU! More: to obliterate you, to remove every trace of you, to eliminate any possibility of you (or others like you) of ever coming back!

 

If that realization doesn't awaken the most supreme rage in you (maybe excitement, fascination, eagerness too?), consider that you may be well off the path...

 

Anyway, as wonderful as your achievements may be, they will pale in comparison to the generation that comes after... Assuming you do your jobs well enough, are good enough at instructing them, and they do their jobs well enough... That generation may go down in history as the very first to represent something that resembles man's authentic potential.

 

The mainstream declared the end of history in the 90s. How stupid and blind they are starts to become obvious when you realize that history hasn't even properly started yet! The generation after yours may represent the beginning of history!

 

But I digress. Have I digressed within my digression? Are you paying attention?

 

The second route, the one you have surely chosen--and if you have read this far, if you have felt your demons stirring throughout, if you have understood, or at least begun to understand, then you are almost certainly on the right path--is to tame the demons.

 

How do you do that? Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself.

 

That means, everyone's process is radically different. Everyone has a different number of demons inside them, of varying types and intensities. Indeed, after you've tamed your first few demons, you will recognize that they weren't just fucking with your life, they were shielding you from another layer of even stronger, wilder demons.... The only way to learn how, is to rotely start doing the basic things you KNOW that you need to be doing. And then adjust as you go.

 

Here are some general pointers off the top of my head:

 

A man can become a man only by actively engaging with the real, physical world. Don't buy into any hippy-dippy, shangrhala, nirvana mystical nonsense. The real "super powers" (for fucks sake, how childish are some of our segments?) come later. And they're far, far beyond anything the wishful thinking morons fetishize. You can contact the dead, you say? Ooooh... scary.

 

Masturbate when appropriate, refrain from any type of pornography. When you masturbate, visualize yourself dominating (dare I use an adverb before this word?) the women you wish to possess.

 

You are the possessor of women, but remember, you also come from a woman, and women will also bare and raise your sons. Before you can dominate them, you must engage them with your wisdom. But only after you have dominated them (excluding your mother and kin, of course) should you engage them with your kindness.

 

Any meditative technique that produces a dulling, narcotizing effect is never to be used as a regular practice. At best, it is a last resort type of tool, mostly used in the early phases. A way to calm yourself down in times when the demons threaten to overwhelm you... when you're just starting to tame them, they are wild beasts indeed.

 

The wilder your demons, the more confusion, agitation, desire for revenge... and other such feelings.... you experience, the greater your overall potential. Don't despair. Don't allow your feelings to make you implode or explode. Hold out and continue the struggle. Yours will be the most difficult and longest, but your eventual success is also the most needful! (If you find yourself cracking and don't know what to do, please pm me.)

 

Once you have tamed your first demon (he will typically come to be known as your charisma, your primary talent or skill) the most direct route to get all the rest, but also the riskiest route, is to bargain with your sex demon. Promise him his desires: women. Then allow him to take control. He will typically be more powerful than all the rest. But do not attempt to tame him first! That is the error of the so-called "pick up artist". (Anyone can "pick up" a woman, provided he has sufficient physical strength. But only a man with WILL can dominate and possess a woman... not to speak of multiple women!) That is the figure of Casanova, Hefner. Men who have made women an end in themselves... A dead end, to be sure (one shudders at the realization of what had once passed for a "real" man...). If you tame the sex demon first, he will want to rule (as is the nature of all demons), and he will not allow you to tame any others. You will have no way of preventing this, unless you have tamed at least one, or preferably several other demons first.

 

If you are Christian and unable to let go of your belief (it has been drilled into you too deeply, it's too much a part of you), you MUST turn Christ into a bad ass! Remember, he came with the sword. A man cannot love his enemy. That is the trap in Christianity. Not everyone is equal. Not everyone has equal potential. Some people want to kill you, and will never relent. It's your job to... I censor myself before the censors can censor me.

 

Dispense with all notions of a quick fix solution. If you find yourself using too many cheesy platitudes, you are on a fake feminine road, designed to trap you. Women have a tendency to over complicate and oversimplify the world in one stroke. This automatically eliminates all mainstream self-help seminars, spiritual retreats, and other such bullshit. The road you must travel is simple and brutal. It also necessarily a solitary one. Any formation of groups promising such a transition are a trap or a lie. The only necessary questions: where is the enemy? How do I defeat him? No platitude can answer these for you.

 

If you start feeling a sense of false pride (if you start thinking that you're somehow better than the average guy just because you read a message board and he doesn't... as an example...), you can be sure you are well off the path and soundly nestled between the squishy warm bodies of the herd. A man does not wear his pride on his sleeve. He reserves it as his most prized possession! And thus one he saves exclusively for himself, or in the rare cases, a select few he deems worthy of the gift.

 

Don't buy into any bullshit, one size fits all, diet program, all the carnivore diets included. Listen to your body, feed it what it desires, stick to wholesome food (meat, fish, whole grain, green vegetables etc.). Children eat candy and random bullshit. You're becoming a man, start eating like one. (Learn to cook!)

 

Eat quickly. Scarf your food down. Eat on the go. A man does not kill so he can eat. He kills so his women and sons may eat. He eats so that he can kill.

 

Pleasure is only worthwhile as a celebration (not a reward, a man does not manipulate himself!) of a difficult overcoming, a conquest.

 

Anyone who makes the preceding list into some form of holy commandments is the one I despise most of all. You are on your own here! What was written here is merely a pointer, perhaps a point of departure. Adapt everything to your particular needs. The most distinctive feature of man is his creativity and adaptability. Anyone who calls for this post to be "sidebar material" has missed the point entirely. I do not consent to this post becoming side bar material, or being elevated in any way, except for the result of a natural upvote process. I do not condone any idolization of any philosophy, man, or idea. Dogmas and helpful attitudes are narcotics for the herd.

 

I have given you this gift because I see your potential. Prove me right by going even further. Prove your indolence, cynicism and apathy by achieving any less.

 

May these words find you well, and hungry.
