Rediscovering the 3 Pillars of Masculine Frame:
Our society is in a terrible state of confusion and chaos.
There are those who claim that masculinity is a thing of the past - an archaic and outdated system of Patriarchal oppression.
Men are told that they should break free from the shackles of the past and evolve…
But evolve into what exactly?
Men are more lost today than they have ever been in history.
Progressivism, feminism and other ideological movements have, for a lot of men, snuffed out their internal sense of masculine pride.
They’ve been told to adapt or become outcasts.
In order for men to reignite the flame of masculinity within themselves, they mustn’t evolve.
Rather they must return to the past by rejecting the propaganda of our times which seeks to radically transform and subject them to an unnatural state of being.
A proper understanding of the 3 Pillars of Masculine Frame will provide for men who have become lost in the static, not only clarity and hope, but also a way forward out of the fog of confusion.
These 3 Pillars are:
1. Masculine energy
2. Emotional control
and
3. Self-confidence
1. Masculine Energy:
A man’s masculine energy is made up of his principles, physical strength and purpose.
Principles:
Tell me what a man values and I’ll tell you what type of man he is.
Most men today value short-term gratification over long-term gratification.
They have become spineless and lack the testicular fortitude to stand firm on their principles, beliefs and values.
C.S. Lewis wrote:
“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
A man’s principles and values will impact everything else in his life.
Physical strength:
Men are biologically designed and intended to protect, defend, and lead their communities, families and those closest to them.
Men have been tasked throughout history with the role of defending themselves and others against external threats and enemies.
We now live in a society where daily threats are either non-existent or at least not as pronounced as in the past where it was a “life or death” necessity that a man be physically strong to survive.
A weak man was more susceptible to nature’s threats.
Physical strength not only made a man harder to kill but also earned him the respect of others around him.
Also, the level of a man’s strength wasn’t solely reliant on genetics, though that heavily influenced it, but rather how disciplined he was to train it to be hard.
Purpose:
Modern society has made it difficult for men to uncover their calling in life.
There are so many distractions and mixed messages on what one’s purpose should be.
However, let me defuse the confusion by stating that a man must ultimately create his purpose in life.
No one else can live your life for you.
What should your purpose be?
In order to figure that out you must be able to define your values and what you’re passionate about.
Once you’ve determined that you’ll have a better grasp on what your purpose either is or should be.
I encourage boys and men who don’t know what path to take in life to try new things.
Create daily goals, rituals and habits for yourself.
Most importantly, don’t be afraid to start over when you fail nor be discouraged if your purpose isn’t clear.
Take action first.
2. Emotional control:
A man is either in control of his emotions or they are in control of him.
Unfortunately, a lot of men today are slaves to their emotions because they lack self-control.
A man must be able to reign in his emotions or there might be consequences.
Most religious texts speak to the importance of being in control of one’s emotions.
Proverbs 15:18 tells us that “a hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.”
The above verse shows the power in controlling one’s emotions.
A man who doesn’t have a grasp on his anger can severely injure himself or others.
However, a framed man will, when his lover or wife spin out of control and start to shit-test him, remain calm and deescalate the situation by removing his attention from her until the behavior changes.
Emotional control is what separates boys from men.
3. Self-confidence:
A man who is not confident in himself can’t be assertive, say “no” or create boundaries for others.
This is because he is insecure which makes him more easily manipulated or controlled by others.
A timid man is not respected by men or attractive to women.
Confidence not only allows you to focus on what you’re good at but also lessens the blow of sometimes being thrown outside your comfort zone and having to perform at a level outside your expertise.
High-value men possess high-levels of confidence and are more successful.
