The Orion Way of Life Podcast

As a man, it's important to admit that you have a dark side to you. We all do. This isn't a knock on men for having this. What we want to let men know is that, yes, you have Dark Energy within you and once you acknowledge that, you can take ownership of it and utilize it as a way to advance your cause. Like Batman, who never kills anyone, even his enemies.

We discuss that every man has a well within that they can stuff the angst down into. Some men have a deep well and others it can be very shallow. This can lead to gaining development and understanding of this energy at different times in your life. Sometimes it builds up and you have raging energy like the Hulk and you are always angry and easily triggered. Again, acknowledging the dark energy within and the level it's at is only going to help strengthen you as a man and better deal with the tough situations that arise.

In what ways do men tend to envision what it means to be masculine? As men we seem to have an idealized version of what it means and that isn't necessarily healthy or accurate, or even something that is possible to them so we tend to feel confused or inadequate.

Men in film like John Wick, Rambo, James Bond give off this idea that men need to do things all on their own, when in reality the richest men in the world got there with a team who helped them rise to prominence and success.

Do you have to always be strong and aggressive in situations? Or can you take a step back and see if another approach might achieve what you want better and quicker?

Why do we men think it's not cool or unmanly to ask for help? Do we really think that this will get us what we want faster? How do the most successful people gain all that success? Well, they certainly didn't do it all by themselves. It's become a stigma for men to ask for help without realizing that this kneecaps them from getting what they want much faster. 

True strength is being willing to relinquish leadership to someone who knows what they're doing more than you do.

How do you escalate with women during the #metoo movement? Are you like a deer in the headlights? Not sure what move to make without getting labeled as a creep? You'll want to listen in on this one.

Sexual assertiveness starts with low level sensuality and it can't have strings attached. You can't do something like giving her a backrub and expect to get sex out of that. You have to do that because you genuinely want to get her to be more relaxed and then just read the signals she gives. But she will immediately sense if you do that and have expectations behind it.
