The Lost Art of Manhood. Who wants to see Men performing their proper roles and responsibilities happily?

Hello Reader! So glad you're here!!

I'll start off by saying I'm a bit fortunate on this subject. Living in Acapulco, the culture here still has a solid connection to  the past, and being able to discern respectful and healthy behavior from harmful. The old men still talk to the young men. And the young men still listen. It is astounding to see the respect given to elders here, coming from the Western anti-culture culture, like I did. Adult men still predominately understand or at least, have some clue as to their responsibilities and their roles, as do the women. And, for the most part, they respect each other for the contributions they make to the high quality of life here. Which revolves primarily around good family. Good family moves mountains in Mexico and in particular, Acapulco. 

One of my top reasons for loving Acapulco so much.

Unfortunately, that certainly isn't the case with modern society and the media of the anti-culture. The movies, the Netflix shows, the news, the habits promoted, etc... is utter confusion for a reason. Which the majority of the population consumes unaware of the motives. They allow themselves to be dictated to. Their standards and expectations of behavior for themselves and others. In the last 100 years or so, as the technology improved to condition people, manhood declined. The roles and responsibilities were relinquished. Boys now learn their ethics from the institutions or the media or anyone else but... rarely their loving, well informed and responsible father or male elders. They have no or few rites of passage into manhood. They're taught to question and even ridicule their parents and elders, not the institutions.

According to the research, about 95% of our behavior comes from our subconscious. Which has no filters and is susceptible to repetition and other subconscious messaging techniques. Techniques that directly influence behavior. Which means... most people have already become robots or at least partial robots. Which is kinda like... slavery.

In such cases, one powerful way to restore control of one's subconscious (the super-mega computer within) is to review one's beliefs and daily actions. Meditate, self-reflect, ponder and discuss and communicate to trusted friends and receive feedback, advice, and wisdom. In so doing, consciously determining... who are their beliefs serving? It's much like running an anti-virus program for one's persona. As an individual "decrapifies" their brain (their data processor), they start to see just how gummed up and overworked their system was. People typically have 1-5% of the processing power working for them and 95-99% working against them... and it shows. But it can be turned around! Imagine what having 99% of your capacity working for you must be like!!! Can you?

This is where it turns to the potential for manhood.

Men, it's clear we can do so much more!  As a 50+ year old man, I ask the elder men, and those with wisdom, to consider stepping up to the responsibility of not letting the charade continue. Educate young men on what it truly means to be a man. To decrapify their minds and souls. To serve humanity by being a gentle man. A gentleman. Being the example... and then caring enough to teach excellence to the next generations... and encouraging the best of them, to do the same. So we perpetuate progress towards true freedom, responsibility, and intelligence, instead of sliding back towards irresponsibility, slavery, and stupidity.

Young and adolescent men need to understand the true meaning of the word meek... When we hear the saying... 'the meek shall inherit the Earth.' It is true. They need to understand there is a warrior role within them. But it's not what they've been told it is. It is the honored guardian of Truth and the acceptance of zero bullshit. Each man has the responsibility to be in integrity. A warrior has the courage to know the truth first. To have the tools and weapons like gentility, endurance, and patience to find the truth gracefully. And to know what to defend relentlessly because of the truth's importance.

Men, especially those of us who have had to struggle through this relentless morass of propaganda and social engineering during our time; we know first hand the harm that can be done by letting this responsibility fall into the hands of government, and subsequently, the mess that has it has created. The  way out is to have the enthusiasm, the courage, the endurance, and the integrity to eradicate the stupidity from our circles by communicating better choices. By ferreting out harm and inequity, like the very best of the 'Old West' sheriffs, who didn't need a gun to maintain the peace. They were a demonstration of the warrior, of intellectual self defense as the first and most important defense. In so doing, becoming free honored peacekeeping gentlemen.

With all that in mind, the idea to host a Dojo/ Workshops / Seminars dedicated to restoring manhood here in Acapulco does make sense. Just to get to Acapulco, to chose and have the fortitude to come here... is a brave act. Then to have the potential to connect with nature in so many different ways. To be able to absorb the differences in culture... and to be able to restore, relax, and ponder the changes and diagnosis to one's self's potential realization. All, are very possible here. Standing on one's own feet, standing in one's own authority... still exists here. It's a great place to have the realization of just how powerful a gentle man can be.

Finally consider this an open offer to those who have effective techniques of leading young men to manhood. We're inviting the knowledgeable as well as those seeking knowledge... to meet in this powerful place.
