How Brotherhood Finally Helped Me Become a Man


I didn’t feel like I was truly a man until I left my cubicle behind, struck out on my own, and started working for myself. Once my wife and I were 100% reliant on my ability to hustle and make ends meet, I felt like I had gone through a rite of passage that transformed me into a man.

Maybe it was that I felt like I could control the course and direction of my own destiny. I had become truly self-reliant for the first time in my life.

But the reason I was able to succeed was not simply because of my own independent will. It was because I had a brotherhood that was also working to create their own vocations on their own terms. These men helped lift me up, believe in me, and made me stronger than I was standing alone.

And while online connections are great, I realized I was yearning for something offline and more personal. I wanted to be able to call the guys to a pickup game of basketball in the park or go on a hike in the woods without planning it out a month in advance.

I wanted real brotherhood, so I decided to do something about it.

There’s an old saying that goes, “When you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, you’ll finally do something about it.”

I got sick and tired of complaining about a lack of brotherhood when there were so many awesome men around me.

So I gathered the email addresses of nine local guys and asked them a simple question:

“Would you be interested in meeting up with other awesome men once a month to do cool things?”

The overwhelming response was, “Hell yes.” I guess I wasn’t the only one that needed something like this.

So far we’ve played glow-in-the-dark miniature golf, sat and drank mind-expanding tea (yes, tea can get you high, believe it or not), and have conquered fears together. We use our gatherings as an excuse to bond and do fun, bucket-list type stuff together.

You don’t need blood-brother rituals, matching tattoos, or secret handshakes to create a brotherhood (not that any of those things aren’t cool).

All you need is initiative and the right men.

The Significance of Using the Mother's Name in Spirituality

In the realm of spirituality, names carry profound significance. They are not merely labels but rather reflections of identity, energy, and intention. One noteworthy aspect of various spiritual practices is the emphasis on using a mother’s name over a father’s name in certain contexts. This preference is steeped in cultural, psychological, and spiritual symbolism, creating a unique nexus that merits exploration.  At the core of this practice is the recognition of the maternal archetype. Across many cultures, the mother is viewed as the primary nurturer and the embodiment of unconditional love. From the moment of conception, the mother’s energy plays a pivotal role in the formation and growth of a child. This deep connection often leads individuals to seek a connection to their maternal lineage in spiritual practices. Using the mother’s name can evoke feelings of warmth, safety, and nurturing, which are essential for spiritual growth and healing. In many spiritual tradit...

About ENERGY AND SEX

  For those who take sex very lightly, I leave this information here.   Chakras regenerate every 7 years, so if you've been with a person even once, their energy will stay with you for 7 years.  That is if you don't clean there properly.   When you have sex with someone, a whole energetic process begins.   Mainly the root chakras (Muladhara) of both, come together, and from this intimacy, the auras merge, merge to create great auric energy around the two.   Through separation, it leaves an energetic and karmic imprint.  The more relationships you have with a person, the deeper the connection.   That's why sometimes you remember so much about your ex or who you became intimate with and you change your vibration and create energetic links that bring them together where they then continue to transmit energy on a subtle level.   In every relationship, some of the other person's energy is acquired. If you have relationships with people who are mai...
