Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Brothers, I'm speaking to you today about men's work.
- 0:08My work with men has been the primary pillar of my vocation for
- 0:14the last four years or so.
- 0:17I have led 350 men's circles in that time and several men's
- 0:24retreats in multiple countries.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: And my work with men continues to
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: make itself known as the center of my vocation at this stage of my life.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: And the work we're doing is becoming more powerful.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: Recent men's circles that I have led have left me feeling charged up,
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: vitalized,
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: heart ignited,
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: electrified,
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: empowered,
- 0:57And I know that there are so many men out there on earth right
- 1:01now who could
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: greatly,
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: greatly benefit from connecting to this primal force.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: Truly,
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: there's nothing like rising alongside your brothers,
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: rooting deep to the earth,
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: rising together with a shared sense of mission and purpose on earth.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: This feeling of
- 1:25charging into battle together as peaceful warriors who are not
- 1:29here to make war but
- 1:31are here to end war who have a mission on earth to bring forth
- 1:37the kingdom of
- 1:38heaven the kingdom of love the kingdom of now the kingdom of
- 1:42wholeness and unity
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: it's incredibly incredibly galvanizing catalytic
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: unifying,
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: activating,
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: to be part of that,
- 1:55to be part of a movement of men who are not settling for
- 2:00modernity's hamster wheel
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: of sedation and flaccidness and cowardice.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: We must ask ourselves, brothers, where in life am I being a coward?
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Where in life am I being a coward?
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Where am I allowing fear and
- 2:21to control me and dictate my existence and prevent me from
- 2:25living my God-given
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: purpose on this earth in service of children,
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: women,
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: my fellow brothers,
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: and all beings here and all beings in all worlds.
- 2:39We have been given the immensely humbling honor of being men on
- 2:46this earth at this
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: time on a planet that is crying out for good men,
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: crying out for wise masculine leaders,
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: shepherds,
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: stewards,
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: guardians.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: In many cases, we are led by the least among us.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: Our leaders are utterly corrupted in many cases.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: Psychopaths, sociopaths, all love to them, but they are not it.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: That is not the wave.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: That is not what we truly need on this planet at this time.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: We need...
- 3:23SPEAKER_00: men who have gone on deep transformational journeys,
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: men who have been gathering wisdom in all the corners of the world.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: We need those men to own their power,
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: own their journey,
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: own their frequency and place it under God,
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: under love,
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: under Christ,
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: harmonized in the direction of a new earth,
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: heaven on earth.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: Whatever you want to call it,
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: that is the North Star beacon calling to us in this world and beyond.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: The mission is love.
- 4:04The mission is to bring forth the truest truth of our heart of
- 4:08hearts and share
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: that for the benefit of all beings in all worlds.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: If that resonates with you, brother, consider men's work.
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: consider joining us,
- 4:23the form of men's work that I have led and have innovated and
- 4:29developed the last
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: few years.
- 4:32Dare I say,
- 4:33it's unlike any other form of men's work out there that I've
- 4:37experienced.
- 4:39There's nothing like this form of evolutionary,
- 4:44full spectrum,
- 4:45integral,
- 4:46God-centered men's work
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: And the brothers who are part of it are beautiful, beautiful men.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Some of the best men I know on earth, dear friends of mine.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: And what we are doing together is deeply meaningful.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: It's deeply impactful.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: We are training to be leaders.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: We are training to be the men this world truly needs.
- 5:14We are training to give our lives over to something greater
- 5:19than ourselves.
- 5:21Men on this earth deeply,
- 5:24deeply need to devote themselves to something greater than
- 5:28themselves.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: Take up a cross, carry a weight.
- 5:35In every man's heart of hearts,
- 5:37he wants his life to be about something greater than himself.
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: And we've been sold a bill of goods by our culture,
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: which is infantilizing,
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: which keeps us endlessly...
- 5:50hoodwinked into this highly self-focused loop of endless
- 5:54entertainment and endless
- 5:56introspection about me me me me me and how to satisfy me me me
- 6:01me me and this is
- 6:03why so many men are depressed are anxious are ineffectual are
- 6:09feeling flaccid and
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: cowardly is because they've bought into this we need to
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: shatter that paradigm,
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: reconnect to what our ancestors knew,
- 6:23that a life well lived is a life of virtue and honor in the
- 6:28presence of God,
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: service to the whole,
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: service to others in the presence of God,
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: giving one's life over to something greater than oneself,
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: to love,
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: knowing what you would die for,
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: knowing what is worth dying for.
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: protecting and serving the children of this world.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: So that is the message today, brothers.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Thank you for listening.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: Thank you for considering.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: Much love to you and best wishes.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Be well.
