Metaduction

I have been anticipating and preparing writings for this theme of Awareness and Introspection for more than a year.  In my prayers about what to write on this blog, I’ve received multiple assurances that the topics I’ve addressed in this theme are what Christian men need to be aware of during this New Era (which began in early July 2024, and which is not to be confused with the current Internet Age, which started in March 2024).

I postponed this theme for several months because (1) it didn’t seem like the right time, or something about it didn’t seem ‘appropriate’ for reasons I cannot explain, (2) the subject matter is difficult to absorb and some of it is a little too abstract or bizarre for the average man to comprehend (e.g., Gestalt, Meaning, Mythos, etc.), (3) I knew it wouldn’t receive much interest, and (4) there were always many other happenings going on that provided much more interesting topics to write about.

However, my conscience constrained me to post this content, despite its lackluster appeal.  So finally, at the beginning of August, I decided that I wasn’t going to put it off any longer and I began posting what I had prepared.

Just as I had expected, readership declined during August and September, even falling to the lowest levels this blog has seen since mid-2018.  (Understandable, since incisive, useful truths that goad personal growth tend to be uncomfortable and rather uninteresting to the carnal mind.)

I prepared many other posts for this theme, enough for another month, but I think this is about all that my readership can take at this time.  I will publish the other essays at a later date in a companion theme covering Mystical Awareness.

Here are the posts that appeared in the theme Awareness and Introspection, spanning August and September, categorized by subject.  Closely related posts appearing around the Based Men’s Sphere during this time are also included.

Thanks to Red Pill Apostle, Tubal Cain, and 1 Anonymous Contributor for their input, each providing 1 post for this theme.

In spite of how difficult it might be, in response to my diligence in writing and posting, I urge Christian men to take the time and due diligence to slog through these posts, to increase your awareness, and do some introspection.  May you find the power of God in doing so.

Inspired by the words of a revered rabbi who prophesied that precious stones were divinely buried in the area, the firm has been mining for about a decade along the steep hills and lush valleys that surround the city of Haifa.

Worship

Worship is and must always be the center point and lynch pin of the Christian Man’s Awareness.

Awareness

Besides Prayer and Worship, Awareness includes four spheres: (1) Awareness of one’s self, (2) Awareness of one’s environment and the people therein, (3) Awareness of the world, and (4) awareness of the metaphysical and spiritual in situ, AKA spiritual discernment / wisdom.

Domain

These posts explicate the personal challenges and the cultural contexts in relation to Deep Strength’s landmark essay on Christianity and Masculinity: Kingdom Rule — Putting it all together with hypergamy, dominance, respect, fear, and womens’ sexual attraction and arousal (2025/6/28).  A man’s Domain is the personalized archetype of ‘Kingdom’ in “Kingdom Rule”.

Authority

These posts continue a long-running coverage of various embodiments of Authority.  Previous posts on this topic are given below under Related.

In the posts about the specific context of the individual man’s Domain / Kingdom, Authority is the personalized archetype of ‘Rule’ in “Kingdom Rule”.  Other posts delineate a higher Authority that men submit themselves to (e.g., Apostolic authority, ecumenical authority, a confessor, the Lord via the requirements of the Covenant, etc.).
