From Red Pill University 201: Advanced Frame

Tonight begins our 200 series content starting with our deep dive into "Frame". Stay tuned as we define what it is, how it's established, and ways to improve it.

What is frame?

• Having yourself as your own mental point of origin, or your worldview.
• My values, beliefs, missions, likes and dislikes, desires, and emotions.
• A fully congruent expression of my worldview in every action, behavior, and word.

Living fully and openly "in character" with my authentic self.

• Why is having a strong frame and congruence so attractive?
• Few men have a strong frame, especially in the modern era.
• Frame strength is a personal quality that is earned, not given.

Characteristics of weak frame:

• Supplicative
  
• Outcome dependent
  
• Overly reactive and neurotic
  
• Emotionally dependent on others
  
• Soft personalities that shift and "fill the container" of whomever has the
  
• Stronger frame in a social interaction
  
• Uncomfortable wielding power, making decisions, or making commitments low ego control; focused on image and appearance to others rather than substance

Indicators of a strong frame:

• Speaking with conviction
  
• High degree of ego mastery
  
• Comfortable with having power, making decisions, taking leadership and risks
  
• Provoking excitement/joy in others
  
• Pursuing their mission
  
• Giving benevolently
  
• Living with abundance
  
• Not keeping score in social interactions

How bad frame happens

• Beta socialization
  
• Also involves its own stages, starts at an early age

Stages of developing frame - man_in_the_world

• Phase One: Discovering your worldview
• Phase Two: Expressing your own frame
• Phase Three: Projecting your frame onto the world

Misconceptions about frame

• Many people believe frame is a mask that you put on to appear as an alpha
• Strong frame develops through deep internalization of various elements
• Good time to plug the Way of the Superior Male/book of Pook -
• The masculine grows through challenge, masculine polarity attracts the feminine.

Elements - from strategos_autokrator

• Intellectual
  
• Stoicism - always have a love of your own fate. Not the only successful frame type though.
• Rational egoism. Absolute certainty. Being certain of your reality is really the only thing required for a strong frame -James
• Emotional. Expressing your emotions like a man - man_in_the_world
• Physical. You cannot fake this. The iron doesn't lie.
  
• Accept and control your sexuality.

Prerequisites to Frame

• Outcome independence
  For important things, the outcome generally matters
  It's possible to remain independent but have a preference.
  Have Plan A, Plan B, Plan C
  Understand that no plan survives contact with the enemy
  The purpose of the plan is not the plan.
  
• abundance mentality
  
• Discipline and work ethic
  "Experience trumps affirmations"
  Gaining competence in reality only comes through experience which is why it takes much time to create a strong frame
  Part of having the ultimate frame is knowing at your core that you are competent at these things, which can only come from external validation through positive outcomes
  Healthy validation seeking versus unhealthy validation seeking
  One serves your mission and one does not

Tactics of Frame Construction

• Taking inventory of your own weaknesses and coming up with a plan to address them. (Athol Kay - Mindful Attraction Plan)
  
• Kill your validation seeking behavior. - (NMMNG Breaking Free Exercises)
  
• Learn how to reset everyday and choose to be positive. (-johneyapocalypse/The Feeling Good Handbook)
  
• Self-introspection: getting to know yourself. (Stoicism)
  
• Overcome your fears and moving outside of your comfort zone.
  
• Recognizing adversity and failure as an opportunity for growth.
  
• Learn how to accept that which you cannot control. (WISNIFG)
  
• Approaching women as a potential experience rather than out of a need for sex and validation.
