the true Alignment of soul

Alignment with our soul, the greatest accomplishment of a lifetime. This journey began with discovering my unique values, which offered a glimpse of my true potential. Filled with the vision of what could be, I implemented daily practices to embody my values and molded them with the principles of divine masculinity. I have since stepped into a new reality. By pursuing my highest self, with the structure of divine masculine principles, my road to soul alignment is naturally unfolding.

The Backstory

I was raised by a smothering mother until I was eight, only knowing feminine nature. From eight till eighteen I lived with my father; Due to my mother’s influence I never had a good relationship with him. This left me confused and distraught about my own nature. I ended up unconsciously embodying the wounded boy archetype. This led to a path of self pity, blaming the world for my struggles, and having friends on and off throughout my teen years. This created a hole in my soul that unbeknownst to me at the time, was going to be filled by discovering and pursuing my highest self through my divine masculinity.

DARK NIGHT

Being kidnapped for 2 years, being caught and brought back to the world I was trained to see as hell.

My parents divorced when I was 4, and the custody arrangement split my time between them. However, my mother, driven by hatred for my father and battling undiagnosed mental health issues, took me from his custody. We spent a year traveling through Central America illegally, then settled in Nicaragua with a family we met through a church. Her influence had me fully immersed in this life, dreading the thought of returning to the U.S. Eventually, the FBI caught her, and I was separated from her at the U.S. embassy before spending a night in an orphanage. This marked the beginning of my dark night of the soul.

QUESTIONS

What is life, why has this all happened, big questions for a young kid, began process of deep thinking.

Upon returning back to the u.s. and my father’s custody, my life was never the same. I no longer had the liberty of being a child. I asked myself deep questions about the nature of my existence, and truthfully lived in a world that seemed staged. My father nearly spent everything trying to find me, so upon getting me, he immediately had to work himself to death to keep us afloat. As a consequence, my relationship with my father was non existent.

LOST AT SEA

Discovering fitness as a therapy.

My teenage years were challenging, as I often felt like I didn’t belong and sabotaged relationships due to my inner struggles. In junior high, I was disliked by many and developed a “fuck the world” attitude, which isolated me further. Discovering fitness gave me a healthy outlet and a much-needed distraction from my lack of connection. However, in high school, I was introduced to weed and alcohol, which marked the beginning of a cycle of addiction.

30TH AG

Discovering Buddhism and deep diving into meditation amidst my first time being forced to confront these feelings I'd always repressed.

Instead of going to college, I chose a different path, the Air Force. After a recruiter visit, despite my dislike for anything military, I started my paperwork. After getting an MIC and a DUI while enrolled, I was rejected by the Air Force, so I wrote to the Army, and they accepted me. I enlisted during COVID, which meant the usual 5-day processing phase, took 2 months, during which I was isolated with 70 other men and our phones were confiscated. We had one hour on Sundays for virtual church, where I started to explore religion out of boredom. I ended up drawn to buddhism and meditation, which resonated deeply with me. For the next 40 days, I meditated twice daily, combined with being sober for the first time in a long while, I discovered a new side of myself, grounded in presence and bliss. This left a lasting impact.

"SUCCESS"

( making money doesn’t make you happy ) - Got the job, got the money, what now?  Thought I was supposed to be happy.

I got myself kicked out of the army for failing a drug test. The next day I got recruited to do door to door solar panel sales in Florida. The kid who recruited me met me once at a bar two weekends before. I decided to send it because Florida sounded cool, this was the beginning of a three year career. I didn’t pick it up until one year in, but once I did I was making more money then I knew what to do with. Surprisingly the way I felt about myself did not change a bit, if anything it grew a deeper sadness inside me, knowing money wouldn’t help fill the hole inside me.

BEGINNING

( Quit everything and pursue life purpose )

After my summer of selling in 2024, I decided to quit. I had a vision in the sauna about 5 months prior, something looking like a men’s retreat. I decided to follow my gut and sign up for a retreat that I had been eying for a a couple years, just to see what the experience was like. This retreat changed my life in 5 days. After realizing that I truly did want to pursue a path helping men discover their masculinity, I decided I wouldn’t ever go back to sales. I knew my purpose and now I had to make it a reality. Most of my waking hours in life are now spent on discovering myself and learning the best  practices to do so, combined with the study of masculinity, spirituality, and fitness. The three elements that are at the core of my life. I believe the most efficient way to discovering my masculinity is through ancient spiritual practices, combined with intense physical challenge. If you want to be a part of the journey I would love nothing more then to work with you.

The Principles that guide me

After countless hours of research and communion with my soul, I have collected what I believe to be the 6 core principles that deepen a mans connection with his divine masculinity. This principles create the structure and standard from which life flows. Following these principles every single day has allowed me to step into a new reality, one directed by purpose and grounded in connection with my authentic self. This is a life long practice that I have committed to, and I am deeply excited to share it with you.

As men the divine masculine resides within us all. I did not feel at home in my body until I had my first encounter with true masculinity. I had been at a 5 day retreat, the kind that cracks your heart open and reveals your soul.

On day 3 we got to experience a land wander, guided by native Americans. I did not know I would wander upon my masculine essence. After walking a couple miles I sat under a tall white tree, the kind that looks ancient and wise. I sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity. As I blinked my eyes open the sun shined down with a relentless heat, penetrating me with warmth and comfort.

A feeling wrapped around me that was strange but familiar, like arriving home after a long journey. I became what I can only describe as a smiling mountain. I was grounded and powerful at my core, but playful and passionate in my essence. I loved everything, but needed nothing. A stillness and peace resonated within my soul that I can only describe as the divine masculine.

awaken the loving, inspired, creative force that you are.
