Ruwando Podcast

Matt Cone is a philanthropist and philosopher. I met Matt on a retreat in Thailand 2 years ago. He shared something called 'The Abundance Model', a philosophy and system for dealing with money. I was a bit skeptical at first, but practiced it anyway and found that 1) My wealth increased greatly, 2) I felt totally different about money. It's actually less about money and more about your view of the future.

This model has inspired today's episodes 'sponsor', TheNeighborFund.com

The Neighbor Fund is a collectively driven charity to spread abundance in the world. Donors commit a small amount, then get to vote on how those funds are distributed in the world. You can participate at TheNeighborFund.com

This episode was inspired by some synchronistic events: a coaching conversations, ponderings on my new tattoo, and an essay by Carl Jung.

Video version: https://youtu.be/eDRgEWIpxFQ

Rites of passage were once an important piece of psychology development in men that both helped one access his unique gifts and potency, but also aligned his power with the needs of the tribe. Due to post-agricultural/industrial/consumerist developments, we've largely replaced this with societal norms that mostly repress the individual.

This episode covers:

• How to develop creative purpose without tribal initiation
• The "Matrix of the Psyche": Personal vs. Collective // Conscious vs. Unconscious
• Biological definition of archetypes
• Eastern vs. Western cultural assumptions about collectivity and individuality
• The virtues vs. dangers of Collective Identity
• How Hero's become tyrants
• The Halo Effect in cult psychology
• Some sexual applications

Episode (literally) brought to you by Single Origin Skincare-- a non-profit that turns coffee waste into high quality soap, then uses the profits to buy education supplies for children in Thailand. My friend who founded it happened to also give me the book by Carl Jung that I reference throughout this episode. His sustainable products can be found at a discount on his indiegogo.

Napoleon Hill's term for "channeling sexual energy" is often talked about, but rarely in a way that is practical. In this video I speak on a workable model for how to use "sexual energy" towards well-being and materialization of goals.

Referencing:

- Freud's sublimation

- Jung's Instinct

- Wilhelm Reich's muscular armoring and orgastic potential

- Mantak Chia's microcosmic orbit, ejaculation control

- the shortsightedness of NoFap

- a workable metaphor for transmutation

- Satanic sex magick (unintended tangent ;D)

- How to's for allowing sensation up to higher levels

Men often fear beauty because it puts us into an involuntary state-- one where we can't easily control our emotions or reactions. But the involuntary state is what makes life worth living...

"Reality is a like a woman. She either moves towards you or runs away from you, depending on how you engage with it."

'Synchronicity' is a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung and often misused by spiritual folk. But even as a subjective experience, it is critical in our ability to create our reality.

In this live episode we speak on:

+ Actual Jungian definition of synchronicity

+ How the 'Call to Adventure' shows up YOUR personal life journey

+ How to speed up subjective time, and density of subjective experience

+ What to do about others' perceptions affecting your subjective reality

+ How to expand your Realm of Control

Announcements:

The free 1:1 Coaching Session bonus will no longer be offered after this round of the Masculine Archetype Challenge. You can still take advantage of the offer AND a free month in the Subversalist Inner Circle if you join now:

“Sex is the poor man’s meditation.” ~ Leslie Selene

Leslie Selene is a spiritual medium, meditation teacher, and author. She was introduced to me many years ago as a ‘Witch Doctor’ when I was in a cult... Many things she told me back then finally clicked in my head five years later. We speak about her take on mysticism from different cultures, trauma and spirituality, sex work, and her various initiations in sexuality and mysticism. You can find Leslie on Facebook. Her books, Inviting Her In: diary of a witch and The Ariadne Dreamtime Network of Psychic Assassins can be found on Amazon. Her next book, Decolonizing Mysticism: a Book of Shadows, will be available from Hexenhammer Press next summer.
