Hello all!
I experienced some doubt in releasing this episode, him-hawing back and forth - questions like ‘should I redo it?’ going through my mind. Why? Because the sphere of social change and ideology is not where I spend much of my time these days. But, it’s formed a big part of my life and my history, my journey - it’s worth devoting these two episodes to. It’s been a cathartic process and a threshold experience for me to gather my thoughts and reflect on my journey to this point and towards the path I walk now. And, honestly, it’s a big part of our lives these days as social beings and I trust that if this is coming up for me, it’s worth sharing.
In this episode, we dive into the complex and controversial topic of how feminism has been co-opted or perhaps always served as an arm of cultural Marxism. We explore the collectivist tactics behind certain comments and the broader cultural movements that aim to dismantle the family structure, shifting the focus from individual empowerment to collective identity. Drawing on Serge Kahili King's principle that "effectiveness is the measure of truth," I question the effectiveness of modern feminism in achieving its original goals of equality, freedom, and individuality.
We discuss how the move towards collective identity has led to psychological fragmentation and a degradation of our spiritual, emotional, and physical health. I argue that the real resistance to cultural Marxism and other forms of collectivism lies in embracing individuality and engaging in psycho-spiritual inner work. By balancing masculine and feminine energies within ourselves through holistic practices and spiritual reflection, we can reclaim our authenticity and challenge the current landscape of cancel culture and victimhood that undermines true empowerment.
