Episode 229: The Emperor's New Clothes
Brothers, we humans tend to make things complex and in our complexity, we get caught up in worry, self-doubt, and rumination. We worry so much that we begin to drown our inner voice, which makes us doubt our intuition or ignore our inner voice altogether. The world teaches us to listen to everyone around us; parents, teachers, law enforcement, and the government. But we are rarely taught to listen to the only voice that matters, the only voice that holds truth: the voice that comes from within. Instead of listening to what you’ve been told to listen to, brothers, it’s time to go within and listen to yourselves and trust what you hear. Now, the way to gain control of your life is through cognitive mastery and emotional ownership. That means not conforming to what’s been programmed in you since childhood, and instead using your intuition to guide you to the truth. It also entails ignoring the seeds of doubt and fear and “I’m not good enough” and instead meditating on the real truth of “I am perfect,” because that, brothers, is your true nature. The genius mind of Hans Christian Andersen gifts us with profound life lessons in his tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes. What we learn from the story is that, even when the truth is plain to see, humans will still believe the lies they are told. This is because we either look to others to give us the truth (informational social influence) or accept what others say to be liked and accepted by society (normative social influence). This is using fear to rationalize the lies we hear. This is living in complexity and rumination. Brothers, it’s time to put unwavering trust in your inner voice and allow it to connect you to the divine oneness, to the source. Your voice is the only one that won’t lie to you and once you remember this, you will be empowered as an alpha man. Don’t trust me, trust yourself, and elevate your alpha.
