I’ve been studying the concept of initiation and how it works. For a long time, I’ll admit it seemed like old war stories your grandpa would mention in passing but never really stuck. However, I’ve seen the light and here’s one of the least talked about concepts in the red pill that would go unnoticed to the untrained eye.

We’re talking about initiating boys to men. Generally speaking this is a lifetime of work on your mission till the day we die so what difference does it make? When we as men are going through your day I think it’s important to watch yourself interacting with people. Those who you see at the gym every week, your friends and family and watch yourself as the hero of your life. See yourself get up in the morning, see yourself get dressed and whenever you feel that disease, discomfort that’s telling you something is wrong you can be sure it’s your ego. Don’t judge yourself. Don’t call yourself names. If you say it as matter of fact, oh geeze there I go again doing that silly thing again.

All you need as proof of that is your experience at the gym. When you’ve been lifting weights and have a routine you will start to comfortable moving the weights with your body and take on heavier and heavier weights until at some point you realize this is too much I can’t carry this safely but you do it anyway and you strain and maybe your nose bleeds. Or you throw up. Which isn’t uncommon but you should lower the weight your carrying until it’s safe enough for you to move it.

Just a couple of days ago I was visiting some family from out of town for a marriage. When I arrived I paid close attention to the son of a bitch groom because I knew marriage was a shit show from the day I could remember. Guys and gals would settle up their horses and ride off in the sunset on social media but we all know what happens . Someone cheats, but it’s rarely a happy ending. Anyways the guy was very calm and invited me over to say hello. We got to talking and I thought well I was wrong about you where are my manners? What he did was so admirable it’s really why I wrote this post. I was uninitiated. He was initiating me to the wedding, as the groom it’s his job after all. So they still live together a couple of years later. The fact of the matter is I knew the bride and her family and only showed up for the food. But back to initiation.

It’s happened in our society that girls who are 15 or enter whatever stage that is for Mexican Catholics, where they have the big dancing thing with their dad. So this husband I mentioned was now the father of her two girls and when they came of age he acted as the father for these girls initiations into womenhood. It was beautiful. I didn’t get to attend the gathering but the pictures were all over Facebook. So that’s how women make us look. We need to celebrate are masculinity by being men. I think initiation is very important. It’s not something you have to do consciously, it will just happen but when it does you will say oh that’s nice I feel welcomed here.
