integration journey

Thanks for sharing.

I asked ChatGPT how to embody stage green without sacrificing your masculinity and this was the answer: Stage Green is about community, compassion, connection, egalitarianism, and emotional intelligence. The challenge for many men is to embody this openness and empathy without sacrificing direction, strength, or grounded masculine energy. Here’s how you can walk that line: 1. Lead with Compassion, Not Submission • Stage Green Trap: Collapsing boundaries, avoiding conflict, or trying to please everyone. • Masculine Integration: Lead with an open heart, but don’t abandon your spine. You can be kind and assertive. Compassion doesn’t mean passivity. Example mantra: “My heart is open, but my sword is still sharp.” 2. Embrace Vulnerability as Strength • Green says: Share your emotions. Be real. • Masculine says: Do it with courage and ownership. Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s raw presence. Embody it: Cry when it’s real. Speak when it’s hard. Take responsibility for your emotional world without blaming or shrinking. 3. Stay Purpose-Driven • Don’t lose your vision in the collective swirl. Stage Green loves harmony, but the healthy masculine craves direction. • Stay anchored in your personal mission while honoring the collective. Ask yourself often: “What am I here to create? How can my presence serve the whole?” 4. Don’t Shame Your Assertiveness • Many in Green spaces (especially in activist or healing circles) start to demonize masculine traits like assertiveness, discipline, and competition. • Don’t internalize that shame. Your assertiveness is sacred when rooted in love. 5. Master Emotional Depth Without Losing Ground • Feel deeply, but don’t get swept away. • The integrated masculine feels emotion like an ocean, but remains the container. Be the still point in the storm—not emotionally numb, but emotionally present and spacious. 6. Cultivate the Warrior Monk Archetype • Fierce presence + deep compassion. • Discipline + flow. • Stillness + emotion. Look to figures like: • Thich Nhat Hanh (gentle yet strong) • MLK (loving yet immovable) • Samurai philosophy (compassionate warrior) 7. Stay Grounded in the Body • Don’t live only in emotional or intellectual abstraction (a Green tendency). • Train. Breathe. Meditate. Make presence your anchor.

It’s not that simple. The Syrian revolution wanted to end authoritarian rule in Syria and begin living in a democratic state. Yes call me delusional but it’s possible because this guy is gone after ruling us for 50 years with his family and after 14 years of brutal war. Millions are hopeful and things are moving forward on the ground..

Oh how wonderful would this be for what he did to the Syrian people.

I resonated with this thread and finally printed out my list of people who I admire who had the most impact on me in the last 10 years. I could have added more though.

I wonder if we are actually listening to each other’s music or just posting music we like and moving on🤣

@Husseinisdoingfine I think you will love Vipassana meditaiton. They offer free Vipassana retreats / courses all over the US and it’s also non-sectarian. I went there with a Muslim background and really learned a lot about how to meditate properly.

❤️❤️❤️

@integral did you find a big difference between using Sora.com and midjourney to generate images? Is one better than the other?

Hero’s journey

I’m just curious but do you work for yourself or for a company? What inspired this LP in you?

Another good one: This channel is full of stories that make you contemplate human nature, survival and how we grow spiritually.

Most powerful and intense interview I have ever seen. Warning= it’s very serious.

I got a weed company ad in my mail here in Oregon a couple of weeks ago!

I’m not leaving that under the sun.

Because truth is freaking awesome.

Watch the video that @BlessedLion posted here

Really interesting story.

Yeah that was surprising

Fucking love this story.

North Syria

His books are really good for people in their 20s his pickup book “models” is also pretty good.

I love Mark. He is similar to Leo in many ways. Mainly that they both truly give a fuck about what they value most and ditch everything else.
