Blood & Rain

“A Withdrawal is needed in order to Return”

Six Weeks ago I drove to Oklahoma on my way North. I met @nature.pilled2.0 @evolacademy and @thesteadfastalliance for the first time. That weekend, the largest assembly of satanists in human history, and the spiritual warfare was evident then and is still evident now. I had received notice of nightmares and attacks from many. Prayer however, is more powerful, My journey North from Texas was something that bore more prayers and more spiritual strengthening than any other point in my life. This stop along the way was a conversation amongst brothers that was worth its weight in gold to each of us. We hope it serves you as well.

Blood & (T)Rain Podcast Episode 1 Text “I don't care how I get there, but I'm going to get there.” You're the young aspiring lifter walking into a gym having no clue what you're doing. You take a machine for a spin for a set of 20. You do Dumbell curls for 10 sets. You do the Stephen Amell “Arrow” workout from a 2014 issue of Muscle & Fitness and assume you'll have that body in six weeks despite already making a habit of going to your breaking point in a Muay Thai gym on top of a noodle shop or in a high school swim team setting in the chilled waters of Wisconsin. You go harder than anyone in the gym, especially when your body is telling you that you shouldn't. But then, you meet a mentor. You meet a high school coach with a default setting of investing in young men. Or you meet a sage of strength in an unlikely setting of [insert sanitized commercial chain gym here] and ask to be taught. You walk into a strongman gym and get taught how to Turkish getup by a Bellator middleweight. Or you start a podcast on YouTube and interview some of those that chose the path of strength before you. You start learning the why of programming through lessons of elders and the research of your own accord. Suddenly, you're not that confused, skinny kid making up for his ignorance with pure fury anymore. Suddenly, you're a mentor. Suddenly, it's your turn to pass on the knowledge and to be kind. “To teach a man to be strong is to be kind.” The Blood & Rain Podcast Presents: The Blood & (T)Rain Podcast Episode 1 Colin Zastrow Enjoy.

How can you trailblaze, if no one has shown you where the wilderness begins? Why would you go through what is known without a mentor? “I needed to learn it the hard way.” How would you know if there was no one to tell you whether that mantra was truth or illusion in your latest use of it? To the self-deprecating, they feel unworthy of such a service. Yet mentoring served the mentor as much as the student. To the loner, the prospect of a mentor can be terrifying, as a distorted view of autonomy can be shattered. Some have a will to carry them on their own to where they aim to go, but much of that energy could have been channeled to go even further had it been guided by a mentor. Every man needs that mentor. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 54 Every man must be Mentored.

Blessed is this Theophany As is every Theophany To try to place faith into words is impossible. To try to quantify the goodness of a God who blesses beyond measure is fruitless. To contemplate the grandeur of His plan is an endless pursuit. It is a war being on this Earth. God grants us many comforts and times of peace. But there is a constant struggle of word, and deed, and thought we must engage in at all times. Every word, deed, or though is either a victory for death and dust. Or a victory for life and God. Whether voluntary or involuntary. We can speak on this in thousands of ways. Here are a few of them in humility from two brothers in Christ.

It's been 1 Year of the Blood & Rain Podcast I was blessed to learn from my guests. The experience has served me, and it hope the podcast has served many of you. Things are very different a year later, and are about change even more. Here's all I have to say. -Arthur The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 52 “Onward” #bloodandrain #afuryunrivaled

Don't talk to me about what this man stood for. I personally don't care. Link him with whatever you want, I won't look it up and will probably say “you're right.” Do you know why he wrote this? He's dead, and I can't ask. What did I hear when I first listened to it? I heard all of THIS: America. For better or for worse. Not evil. Not innocent. No nation is innocent. Self-destruction being “cool” is on its last legs. Hating your country is three steps away from hating yourself. Hating the external can lead to the hatred the internal. The fractal nature is far more bidirectional that your parents ever told you. The nature of most things is. The principles on paper need a far greater execution. If you're outsourcing it to the Olympic cycle of the ballot box, you're a shill for oligarchical eclipsing. Execute these principles in the world around you, So Democracy can come to the USA. The Blood & Rain Poetry Podcast Episode 3 “Democracy” by Leonard Cohen

AUSTRALIA. You've likely heard echos of the macro level waves of human rights infringement happening in the gorgeous land far to the South. Many are likely wondering what the true nature of the situation there is. Some are hearing the small shards of truth making it through the white noise of the world, and many are still falling prey to weapon used narratives. So hear about the situation from two people living in the situation there every day, even now. Then use that brain God gave you and DECIDE. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 51 FREE AUSTRALIA

The fall of man's great civilizations is never seen as a cyclical circumstance for the men who live in the remains of their crumbled homes. The only views these men have historically possessed are those of tragedy and of mourning, rooted in the finite endings of their former glorious homelands. Yet, the fall mankind is experiencing now only manifests itself physically in small flashes. The fall is more metaphysical and has to do with mankind. Mankind itself is in ruins. Mankind is in a state of void and limbo that is not consciously and clearly understood by its majority. Yet one man can see in things visible and invisible, the ruins that surround mankind now. But there is no gloom and sorrow in his being. Mourning is not his default temperament. He writes to his fellow man about the cyclical nature of this fall of mankind. He writes of these ruins as a foundation to rebuild a greater mankind. He writes of these ruins as the catalyst of a post-modern Renaissance. This is not a Renaissance of resurrecting a zeitgeist-laced, “former golden era,” in a futile attempt to recapture “what was lost.” This is a Renaissance of understanding that frameworks not bound by time and space are what were forgotten in our fall. These are the same frameworks that when honored, can rebuild a world with a far stronger integrity and an expression that is uniquely our own. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 50 The Letters From The Ruins

Billions of people on this planet spend far too much time watching others aggressively pursue games with the throw, bounce, and kick of a ball. It's hilariously nonsensical. If you can tell me every year's pitching rotation of the San Francisco Giants for the past 30 years but can't tell me what your son is increasingly fascinated by in his formative years, you're failing as a father, plain and simple. The glorification of these kinds of athletes is strange at best. What is most confusing is that people rarely take the lessons from the people they're so frequently observing and discussing and applying them to their lives. This is most likely due to the fact that most are watching these sports to fill a void of consciousness. But there are truly valuable lessons one can strip from the greatest minds and forces of will who have ever existed who just so happened to apply those minds and wills towards games with a ball. These are some of those lessons. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 49 Lessons from Sportsball that actually Matter

It's an incredibly common question: “What's wrong with our country?” Crowds only tend to ask it when remotely removed from their country's victories or golden ages of prosperity. Often times, the issues are far more difficult to recognize, let alone properly define. When undercurrents of discord pull people into a drowning frenzy, the issues then become far more real. History possesses other zeitgeists entirely when a sizable portion of society have stopped and said, “I don't know what's wrong, but I just know there's something wrong.” The United States and very likely, the majority of the Western world as a whole currently possesses both of the aforementioned dynamics. The next step after recognizing these present dynamics is that of hypothesizing potential solutions. The “experts” may just waltz in during the eleventh hour to be entrusted with a grand plan of multiple potential solutions, all of which will conveniently spend a lot of the people's money without those “experts” truly having to buy in themselves. There are few true experts however. But what is far more important than the scarcity of truly masterful grand strategists, is the decay of culture in the countries of the Western world. Somewhere along the line, the act of destroying a society became a religion amongst a plethora of confused and disgruntled citizens. There are now far fewer things to destroy. And while destruction is part of the natural process of creation, it is creation in the form of reconstruction that must now take center stage. This has less to do with a return of neoclassical architecture, but has far more to do with a revitalization of the essence of our day to day lives while being truly (American, French, Polish, German, British, and so on.) In order to heal the culture of one's country, one has to realize he must buy in wholeheartedly for better or for worse and realize his choice is a vital one among millions. His choice reflects the grand choice of a country to either heal or kill itself. One bright mind understands this perfectly.

Oh what we'd do with all of that money...You want to talk to me about your dream car?You want to talk to me about your Lake Como/Laguna Beach/Hillsborough/Marylebone Manor?Save it. Not only your money, but your breath. More often than not, the acquisition of wealth is an excuse for laziness. More wealth thought of as more cushion makes the kind weak. More wealth should be an invitation to amplify the sharp mind that you cultivated in hardship through the expansive and abundant resources unlocking all of its new avenues to be utilized fully. More wealth should mean doubling down on the development of your self. More wealth should mean doubling the reach of your acts of service. More wealth should be an extension of the steadfast self within. You should be just as lean despite there being “more of you.”You are not your wealth, for you cant take it with you after death. It is merely an extension of you.May you not fall and become lazy, but instead have courage that being roused into action you may use that wealth like a True King.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 47“May you use that wealth like a True King”Enjoy. #bloodandrain #bloodandrainpodcast 

They say there's no hope for the future.I don't really know who “they” are, but they're not my “we” for a reason.Every single generation has an assortment of problems for their future that seem unsolvable and far more horrifying than they truly are.A weak-minded generation raised with a smartphone is the doomer line as of late. If you paid attention to tik tok and only tik tok for your gauging of the next generation, then you'd believe the next group up to be one to summon a bleak fate. However, the statistics of this next generation up reflect a collective psyche that is renouncing the vices, excuses, and victimhood of the Millenial Generation's degeneracy inherited from Baby Boomer “battle cries” coupled with a quietly infuriated Generation X's simultaneous standoffish and intrigued reaction to said degeneracy. The next generation up is less interested in vices but far more fascinated with the virtues found in church.The next generation up is unsatisfied with weakness and seeking strength.Some were taught this by millennials and parents who were able to deprogram themselves.Some, like an eighteen year old young man from Wisconsin knew something was wrong and decided to better himself through a painful, confusing process of trial and error. Such agency at such a young age is truly admirable.Thankfully, the numbers reflect that the future is a lot less like tik tok and a lot more like this guy. The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 46“Resurrecting Faith & Strength” Featuring Colin Zastrow

It's safe to say the world needs more Barbarians. Barbarians are those who challenge “conventional” thinking and live on the edge of society and perhaps more importantly, themselves.The conventional thinking is deteriorating society, and society is begging for the balance of power to change hands.Barbarians of both the traditional, rural origin and those who grew up in the concrete jungle alike have a call to balance themselves as well.A man who has read “War & Peace,” can deadlift 500+, can start a company from nothing, knock you out, meditate for an hour straight, run ten miles, and run grünfeld defense is building a dangerous man of mind and body that is a direct threat to the crumbling status quo.These are the kinds of things that are objective personal developments as men.But then there is the inexplainable, the metaphysical, the strangely, viscerally specific.Prayers for guidance being answered or dictation from high above. This path that overrides the pinnacles of human logic that singles out what man truly must do. Knowing this path is hard enough information to receive, but following this path has a far greater degree of difficulty. It takes an immense strength and an immense faith, but when you're following it, those around you know.You will speak with a weight that is truly unshakable.The Blood & Rain PodcastBarbarians and Metaphysics with Meta BrohEnjoy.

You all asked some questions. Some were very interesting. Some started intriguing trains of thought. Some changed my mind. Some not so much... Regardless, they've all been answered. How to prepare for your first Muay Thai fight. How to overcome distractions in the form of people and distractions of an uncontrolled mind. Film and television suggestions for men, for when some bizarre reason, you need a “break” from reading. Forgiveness: when it's deserved and undeserved and both expressed and unexpressed. Old ghosts and why they need to be vanquished. And that dumb question...the question that made me want to take a shot with Ulysses S. Grant up there on the photo. Yes there's such a thing, and yes you know who you are. The Blood & Rain Podcast AMA #3 Enjoy.

“How do I write?”“How do I start making content?”Did you expect some kind of step by step template guide?How to make content in sixty seconds?Oh you want me to spoon feed you right?I can't do that.You should want to punch me in the face if I did that. I could give you every trick under the sun of how to refine your content. I could point you towards Hemingway to be as refined and concise through using the fewest, most powerful words possible. I could point you to Fitzgerald who used as few or many words to paint gorgeous prose that drips off of the page. I could tell to stretch your ideal muscle, which I have, do, and will continue to do. I could tell you to be inspired, you need to actually consume something inspiring. I could tell you that you need to live in order to write, and that honestly just goes without saying. I could tell you you just need actually do the damn thing and just write like no one is watching cause no one actually is, unless you're like me and enjoy writing in crowded places, but regardless, I watch my six, meaning no one is seeing each word emerge in ink on parchment. I could tell you to forget about an idea and walk around the block to find clarity. But really, the best thing I could do is be as raw and cutting as possible and attempt to give you some form of baptism where you're just close enough to drowning that the intensity and presence is dialed up to 11 but far enough that you have the room to realize exactly who you are. Then, you can start.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 43“I'm Never Content with my Content”Enjoy.

Every good podcast needs a resident health expert.But what does health mean for men?Health has become an ambiguous word in these nonsensical times. Health was programmed into weaponized narratives as “whole grains,” “pressed juicers,” and trying to squeeze the life out of an almond to get milk. Health comes down to one thing for men:Testosterone.It's a cliche at this point to present it as such, yet it's been presented in the form of testosterone supplements and fragile concerns about “cardio making men fat.”But when it comes to learning how to craft your diet and environment to boost your testosterone levels to those of a Prehistoric savage, there is a decision to be made. A. Don't pursue testosterone and see life squeeze you for all that you have until you're left with NOTHING.B. Pursue optimum testosterone, and the world is your oyster. The large choice is yours to make.The smaller details though?Well, the resident health expert of the Blood & Rain podcast has you covered with guiding you in the right direction with all of those decisions. He's like the Dr. Rhonda Patrick of the podcast except he isn't a shill for omega 3s and actually knows what the fuck he's talking about. The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 41: Primal Thrive: “When your T is High, the world is your Oyster.”Enjoy.

So much is lost in our daily efforts. Most have absolutely no clue. It's likely due to the fact that we're in a society that is far too rooted in half measures. Many strap themselves to a desk job to salivate over escapism, and when they're presented with something they actually WANT to do and even MUST do, their minds are still in the stupor from the norm of escapism-abusing that they couldn't possibly begin to be present. Even for those who are focused, steadfast, and aligned, much is lost. Our actions are not enough. The actual act of practicing our chicken physical skills is not enough to master them. They must be analyzed, adjusted, and solidified in the mind, so there is no stepping backwards. Control of ones mind takes much brainpower. We can trap brainpower of our own through transference of our thoughts onto notes. When we see these notes that capture exactly where our bodies and minds were the last time we performed a physical skill, we can truly pick up where we left off without any time thrown to the waste of “catching up.” When the skill never truly leaves the mind, it accelerates the progress. If you're not keeping proper training notation, you're fucking up. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 41 Training Notation Enjoy.

“Give man a gun, and he'll rob a bank. Give a man a bank, and he'll rob the world.”Unless every man had a bank. There's a very real group of people attempting to sprint for all the cards in the deck. That includes your's and mine.For the majority of their targets, it will be simple. Nome of the majority even know what's being taken from them in the first place. But for those seeking occult knowledge which in this context ONLY means hidden knowledge that both by accident and by deliberate dark grand strategy has been covered up through centuries, it's growing increasingly obvious what is at stake and what must be done.Every man must be SOVEREIGN.If a man can fight, shoot, hunt, thrive in the elements, and homestead, he has  a foundational set of skills for defense.But for offense?The most feared prospect by elites is that of independent banking. You can read a book or two to see how attempts at this both failed and succeeded for several decades before being eradicated. One man is leading the charge to help others become truly sovereign and do his part to turn the tide of the war unseen.The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 40The Bank TrapperEnjoy.

The state of man in the Western World is is in a blatantly obviously horrendous state. This can be seen on the macro scale by simply taking one look at the deteriorating strength, reputation, and vision of all sovereign nations of the West. However, this is simply an amplification of the micro scale that is displayed by each and every individual man. A lack of conviction. A body reflective of decay and cowardice. A mind in a permanent state of fog and substance-abuse. An abandoned connection to God. A blindness to the cycle of the Hero's journey he is currently rejecting. There's a silent enemy at work destroying Western Society from the inside. Various poisons in our "food," environment, and in our modernized practices are diminishing the chemical quantification of manhood: testosterone. When man is centered chemically, he has gained the foundation to be aligned, physically, mentally, spiritually, and narratively. One was thrown so far off course that the only option he had left was to become a testament to healing one's manhood and a beacon for others to do the very same for their sake, and therefore, the world's sake. And now, he's here to give the first of many seminars on how to do just that. The Blood & Rain Podcast. Episode 39 The Only Way to Thrive is Primal

Without Art, there is no real world. The creation of nature, cosmos, and life was not placed into brutalist boxes for the illusion of equality through the suppression of a Holy Spirit that lives everywhere and in every thing. The creator was an artist. Without art, this world is truly nothing. Through the example of God, men are called to create art to inspire warriors, define a movement, craft the new zeitgeist for their nation's next generation, and truly create culture. Culture is wild. Culture has a natural hierarchy. Culture rewards those who throw themselves face first into the frontier far beyond anywhere anyone could possibly help them. And humanity knows this hierarchy inherently. Now, the dark side of mankind has secured a nonsensical chokehold on culture and art itself where natural order is suspended, truth is outlawed, and paying tribute to a method of suicide for a nation is rewarded. But man knows art is antithetical to this distorted agenda. And one man knows exactly what knows exactly must be done to destroy the cage that art has been placed in and restore the order through taking culture BACK. The Artist of Manosphere.The Creator of the Genesis Council.The Leader of a cultural revolution. The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 37: The Artist's War is Now Featuring Arthur Kwon Lee#bloodandrain #genesiscouncil #arthurkwonlee #bloodandrainpodcast

To Achieve Skill MasteryOne must approach the skill from every angle. The rudiments must be flawless.Every rule must be known for the awareness of each and every aspect of the skill and not be blindsided by a Mac truck of the hilariously obvious. One must know all of these rules, so he may know how to break him. Breaking the rules for the sake of innovation and going “far beyond the boundaries of where one has gone to where no one can help him.”Innovation is assisted in the bedrock of from viscerally aligned masters who came before us. We must know of every master to know who are the right ones to assist us in taking the plunge into the plunge we will walk alone. For writers, there are many. Many have been lauded in the past, but just over a hundred have been awarded the title of Nobel Laureate in Literature.This is a beautiful place to start.The Blood & Rain Podcast Presents:The Three Year Nobel Prize Reading Challenge#bloodandrain #bloodandrainpodcast

It's important to know what kind of man you are. The pre-requisite is truly being a man. After that, you have to know the way you conduct yourself in all realms of combat and all realms of creation. Do you like it hot?Do you like it cold?Would you fight with a sword and shield or a trident and a net? The modes of creation and modes of combat in one man can be vastly different. Examples of history's greatest conflicts and conflicts that never were provide archetypes, nuanced examples, and cautionary tales about each and every mentality of strategy for combat. One of these examples will be a mirror. The Blood & Rain Poetry Podcast Episode 2Featuring Blood & Rain Books Poem 8:“The Cold War Shells of Men”Link in bio.Enjoy. #bloodandrain #bloodandrainbooks #bloodandrainpodcast #poetry

Steadfastness and Discipline for menIn the martial way.In the spiritual way. Is growing increasingly important.The further the flames of chaotic degeneracy are fanned across the Western world, the more man is called back to strength, discipline, the solar ideal, and faith. Great nations are strengthened by external conflict. It's the assassins that destroy from within that are always its plight. This leaves the warriors with much to discern, and he mustn't do so without grounded yet ascended faith. There are examples of men who do their duty as such all around you, and one warrior has quite a bit to say through his voice and his own. The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 36The Journal of a Christian WarriorLink in bio.Enjoy.@thechristianwarjournal#bloodandrain 

It's a wild wild world right now. Many have crossed a threshold or are rapidly approaching a threshold that demands presence with the grand scheme of the war on humanity. People are poisoned daily. People are programmed daily. Yet, somehow, more and more are beginning to rise above the muck that has ensnared them for years and even decades. Many believe that rise looks the same across the board for all individuals. In truth, each individual rise is remarkably unique. Yet, all of these unique individuals now understand that the time for action in an insidious war is now and only now. There's a very real frontline in this war, and one of these individuals is finding out that he is not alone in the fight. There are others who have learned the way of true identity and true rise. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 35The Thumos Wolf is not a Lone WolfEnjoy.#bloodandrain #bloodandrainpodcast 

Asia, the largest continent on Earth in both land area and population is the birthplace of an ocean of innovation, wisdom, and art both cultural and martial. There have only been ten countries in the world to have never been fully conquered by European superpowers, nine of which are In Asia.It's home to half of the greatest hotbed for wrestling, the birthplaces of Muay Thai, Judo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, and some of the world's highest level practitioners of bladed combat in the styles of Silat and Eskrima.The continent possesses a wealth of martial culture and history matched by very few places, and it's not limited to any one of its region.The men of this continent have ancestors as mighty as any, and like other races of men, they're under attack. Their masculinity is being being vilified, and there are numerous attempts of feminization tied to a fabricated sense of morality. This is not a time to delve into discussions of who the enemy of the majority men actually is. One thing I do know is that the attack on masculinity is worldwide. One man of martial culture and Asian heritage has decided to become a catalyst to begin the Renaissance of Men for the men of an entire continent and do his part in this war of culture and consciousness. The American men and the European men have begun their restoration, and now, right on time,The Asian men are rising.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 34Asian Man RisingEnjoy.

Consciousness is Rising.Time is Not linear.The next dimension up is time itself.To transform one's self, based on the highest version of one's self, based on one's highest "timeline" for ones self is to connect with this time, the nature of which we do not fully understand.The mind and body are electric. To receiver we have within our mind can prime the matrix of our bodies.Transformation does not take years. Transformation does not take months."I think, therefore, I am," has far more validity than many thought.The pitfall is not manifesting that state of mind within the three-dimensional encapsulation of our existence.Destroying the parts of one's self that are antithetical with this highest self is an act equally as valid as manifesting all the qualities of one one's highest and greatest self. To act and speak in accordance with the thoughts aligned with this time, is to truly manifest this self as one "dilutes the distinction between time and space."This time is in the mind for the mind can receive this time.The manifesting of the mind in the body with action and words is that diluted space.Transformation can be compressed into a far shorter period of "time" in our three-dimensional perspective of time. Transform accordingly.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 33"We Will Dilute the Distinction between Time & Space"

It's not often that we overlook, let alone have zero knowledge of a practice that is truly essential for mankind.The flow of information had a far different method of exchange just one hundred years ago.Open up a book on healing, and you'd have seen far less synthetic means of medicine.That was just the tip of the iceberg however.Before modernization, sterilization, regulation, and hostile takeovers, humanity had far more knowledge on man's relationship with his health, food, environment, breath, and the Earth itself.Native American traditions and multiple ancient civilizations had a far greater grasp on how the Earth heals mankind with the simple contact of bare feet to the soil and sand mother nature provides.The practice is formally called grounding, and is it stands right now, it's the only method mankind is aware of that can accelerate recovery from training.A professional sprinter started his grounding journey for the sake of performance, but he's discovered that the other benefits of grounding are far greater than its ability to assist in shaving microseconds off of race times. Now, he is on a mission to share the rediscovery of grounding with the world and heal humanity in its crippled diseases state all without asking for a dime.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 32 Grounded Healing Featuring Rob, The Grounded AthleteEnjoy.

The Western World knows too much of decay. “Every great society begins Stoic and ends Epicurean.”This is certainly the case for many Western nations now, but the fight is far from over.Stare down a doomer In the eyes, and you'll see he doesn't fully believe the doomsaying he's vomiting.The doom he speaks of is not set in stone as he attempts to claim, but the accumulation of such statements can indeed become a collective self-fulfilling prophecy. Those words, thoughts, and actions of each man can fulfill a different prophecy.The prophecy of Renaissance and Alignment.This takes action more than anything, and action is the ideal of men.The PRAXIS of man.Maybe war is the only road to peace like they say.I sure as hell don't believe that.What I do believe however, is that this long peacetime has created a void of action, as nothing appeared to have any urgency. That lack of action has diminished men, and has diminished boys raised by these men.Luckily, masculinity will always remain the same. Masculinity can be relearned. Masculinity can be retaught. Masculinity can be refortified.And society can be refortified for all to prosper. This doesn't happen in the measurement of years.This happens through one's daily practice as a man.These actions make up the PRAXIS of man.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 31The Praxis of ManEnjoy.

Far too much has been held hostage by entities that were ultimately just wearing shrouds of deception.Words of the English lexicon have been demonized, distorted, and deteriorated for all of the wrong reasons.To define is to limit, but limitations placed upon language are placed for the sake of clarity. The clarity is the foundation. To throw away the original meanings of words destroys any foundation for the poetic realm to flourish. Language's capture and out of frame, held at gunpoint statements of voluntary distortion blasted on every television has a visible effect on adulthood.But for those in the coming of age phase, there is a truly immeasurable ripple effect that has tossed them into a wasteland of a teenage kind. The majority of them are suffering the delirium that comes with navigating such a place.But there are a shining few using their teenage wasteland to grow strong before escaping and doing their part to liberate language and restore order.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 30Escaping the Teenage Wasteland

Movement is a hell of a drug.There seems to be this unspoken, bizarre, and distorted notion that strength is limited to periods of stillness.It strikes the eye and therefore the mind as obviously and hilariously flawed when first glancing upon the raw, written statement, but the misconceptions have always been elusive in nature.Like too many things in this concluding era, the root cause has to do with the ill-advised detachment from nature itself. Find nature, and you will find the meaning of that demonized word, fitness.Look back on the people of the strongest stock and you'll find two breeds who never lost touch with nature.There were those who built sprawling, stunning aesthetic symphonies of cities while returning to the land to never lose site of of their creations' true foundations. The other?The Nomad.The Nomad moved with nature LIKE THE WIND.And so, the Nomad grew brutally STRONG.Whether he intended to or not, one man is channeling this stunning truth.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 29The Strength of The Nomad.

Theres always a trigger point, a breaking point.Theres always that catalyst that completely changes the dynamic, broadens the perspective, and elevated one's consciousness permanently. These moments come as the result of many different forms of epiphanies, lines read, and practices explored.The Stoics taught the men of this age much.Recreationally exchanging kicks to the face is worth a thousand words.De-centralizing one's wealth is the first of many step in the game of wealth.Open a history book about our history books.Track the demonization of red meat.The catalysts come in many forms, and they all lead to the same grand result.There's a Renaissance of Men occurring across time and space.The consciousness of this globe is rising, whether we're ready for it or not.The realizations and catalysts all lead to one mindset.The mindset will show you one thingThat a New Epoch is surely Rising.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 28The Epoch Is RisingEnjoy.

The American WEST.That meant something different once upon a time.The goal was to win the race to the Pacific.For the Pacific was known to be GOLD.Nowadays, there are far fewer things that glitter.Where man can turn from the diminished promise lands are the lands overlooked and dashed past. The lands of sprawling Rocky Mountains, and true rugged individual spirit UNALTERED and UNBROKEN.The way of the homesteader is still alive.Nature is not boxed out of the dynamic. Nature is taken for the good and the bad.The good is a gift of LIFE.The bad forces man to be STEADFAST.Such a way of life can only bring wisdom.This is a great deal of that wisdom.The Blood & Rain PodcastEpisode 27"The Steadfast Homesteader" Enjoy.

Long Overdue To say the very least. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and at the end of it is my route to unleashing a the floodgates. I’ve been through a sleepless gauntlet in this home stretch that still “ain’t over til it’s over.” It’s been a long time coming. I’ll speak on that when it’s completed and to speak on that is earned. For now, it’s time to speak on optimized “autopilots” for life. Many of those are in the form of the answers to all of your questions. I do enjoy answering these very much. Thank you all for your patience. The Blood & Rain Podcast AMA #2 Enjoy.

It’s a question asked quite frequently. Where did man go wrong? Which sections of our primal nature are we meant to fully embrace, and which are meant to be left behind in our attempt to grow closer towards enlightenment? It’s an ongoing, surgical, trial and error process to say the least. Priming the mind through primal diet. Creating a world around you in line with the way humans were meant to interact. Destroying the alienation between men not through “tolerance” or “compromise,” but through the creation of tribes not for the sake of destruction and division, but for crafting the proper environments in which men can THRIVE. As man basks in these newfound optimal environments, one thing is truly obtained: An undeniable passion for life. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 26 Man’s Passion for Life Featuring Josh Rainer Goldstein Enjoy.

Man needs to leave his own land to truly know himself. It's astonishing how a man can find memories in a place he has never preciously set foot in. Some places could be mistaken as a home, but in truth are places of pilgrimage. Pascha gace way to a pilgrimage. Pilgrimage gave way to a cycle's completion. Cycle's completion gave way to an Oath. This one was heavy. This one was raw and rare. The Blood and Rain Podcast. Episode 25. "A Man of Blood in a City of Rain" Enjoy.

The Simposium Part 2 The Balance of Opposites. For every force is a counterforce? Some things have no true equal however. Some first movers can never be “outworked.” The greatest grand strategist truly “has no shadow due to change.” Some counterbalances aren’t counterbalances at all. They’re simply the same entity with the truth of conflict simply being in far distant perspectives. Is time linear? Is it cyclical? Is it both? How does one navigate this as a man of a polytheistic faith? How does one navigate this as a man of an Abrahamic faith? How does one navigate if he’s not sure about much from the start? These questions can be dismissed as drunken midnight chatter, but to elevate thinking with feet firmly on the ground is to invite a higher call of the self. Two Orthodox Christians left fully changed from Pascha have a lot to unpack regarding elements of this realm. Perspective from every angle is everything. For then you can know what’s rooted in perspective And what is truly an independent, grand constant. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 24 Part 2 The Simposium and Blood and Rain on The Cyclical Reveals of Pascha Enjoy. #bloodandrain #artforovercoming

Trials are rarely known ahead of time. The Lenten Period is one of those trials. Fatherhood is an earthly manifestation of God the Father. Fathers prepare their children for theworld and its hardships. Motherhood is an earthly manifestation of Mother Mary the Theotokos. Mothers rejuvenate and nurture. Together are strengthening and recovering. The parallels with many aspects of life are infinite. Where does that leave the man who has chosen to measure one's self by an impossible standard? Steadfast nature in mind, body, and spirit always striving. The resolve is always a gift far greater than man could ask for. Христос воскресе! Воистину воскресе! One man with inquisitive nature has drawn several conclusions: Regarding the benefits of harsh environments. Philosophy and anti-philosophy, and the Pitfalls of pride. The Back Drop? First Lent and Pascha. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 24 Part 1: The Simposium & Blood & Rain Present: Pride's End at Pascha Enjoy.

Times of Transition are Tricky. I’m blazing full steam ahead through my latest transition, and through this final week of Lent. So, I decided to slow it down for a split second. To tell you what’s next with all things Blood & Rain, and answer all of your eloquent questions. Loads of announcements I’m elated about and hope you’re all intrigued by as well.

The masculine balanced discipline that has been diminished and seen its distorted form battered in criticism by men rooted in cynicism is the same discipline that can help heal humanity. The discipline and balance of being a husband. Strong male leadership is needed on a macro scale to micro and a micro scale to macro. The protector of the wife. The pillar of strength for the family to lean on. Steadfast. Unwavering. On a mission from Divinity. Setting the standard of honor for the sons. Setting the standard of expectations for the daughters. The eyes are always in him. So he must be at his best. One man learned without any guidance, what this true role means when all the “guides” around him were compromised by unbalanced and backwards ideas. He rose to strength truly on his own and spreads his story and Golden guidance that all men preparing for and engaging in the discipline must hear.

What is common currency for men across faiths? How many origins does humanity have in truth? Do we all originally come from the same continent? Or are we from a variety of traditions and lands since mankind’s dawn? Do we all have a common enemy in the dawn of this new age? What has man lost that roots him in duty? How can he set such roots once again in this gift of a new era? By swearing an OATH. At one time it will be an Oath for a time of contemplation. For another, it will be an Oath for LIFE. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 22 Oaths as Strong as Oaks. Enjoy. @oakandoaths

Word. Deed. Thought. All play a part in alignment. When one is in alignment, the ground he stands on is unshakable and Divinity above is undeniable. How can we know what lies ahead when we are not aware of the hidden things of ourselves? How are our own thoughts conspiring against us without our knowing? The space of time since last speaking is likely far too long in this common circumstance. Do our words reflect our actions and intentions? Or had the tongue taken control? Do our actions manifest the vision in the material world? Or are they piercing the veins of our very life force? For when everything is in alignment, these pitfalls in manifestation never materialize. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 21 Alignment & Manifestation Enjoy.

Sometimes you just have to do things differently. Do you have a steady marathon-style game plan for your life right now? Try sprinting through everything and watch what happens. You’re used to one methodology in your chosen field? Learn and master its direct opposite. You don’t talk about politics, “out of field left” theories, sexual dynamics, and sports ball on your podcast? Talk about all of them in one conversation. That’s what happens when two likeminded guys from the sinking ship that is California talk for two hours. Sometimes things just come effortlessly. So you want to cultivate effortlessness? Sometimes you just need to take the boat out of the harbor and sail straight into the storm, See a fair amount of your own BLOOD drawn while enduring the hardship under the RAIN and just FLOW with it.

“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots” -Marcus Garvey There are far more roots that hold out trees in place than we truly realize. We know of our parents, and we know of our homelands. We know of our affinities, and we know of our nature. Much of this has been attributed to either our parents or to ourselves. We’ve claimed that much of what we do is original, our own deliberate decision making, when it comes to the paths we’ve chosen and the disciplines we pursue daily. There are indeed, truly new and deliberate choices that make up what we know to be ourselves. But the roots unknown may provide far more answers of pre-determined programming than we realize.

When a divine force runs parallel to a masculine rejuvenation. (End of Post_Modernism +End of Kali Yuga +Dawn of the Age of Heroes +Start of the 5D transition?) + (Pickup community +Red Pill white hats +Intellectual Dark Web +the Great Conjunction +the Dawn of the Solar Movement) There are no coincidences anymore. One man seems to have noticed this. One man knows that men are being called to bring balance back to the Earth. To heal themselves and rise to their fullest potential. This is in the air, and this is in our deliberate decision making. This is the Renaissance of Men. One man knows that the Renaissance is the work of a force unseen and work that needs to be done by armies of Renaissance MEN. One man is gathering them all in one place. One man is doing taking it upon himself to unite all forces that need to be United because he knows in his soul it is his duty. This is that man.

"YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT." THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS THE BACKGROUND WORLD. Everything is fractal. Not just the aforementioned narratives making or breaking your mind and life. There are many tools at our disposal. Darker forces know this better than most This dynamic will be changed. Wisdom can no longer be hidden in the name of man not being ready yet. Sometimes being ready is accepting that we're not ready. It's either take the path or get picked apart. These paths are many and are all the same path. "There's more than one way up the mountain." But at the top of the mountain, is Logos. The Blood & Rain Podcast Episode 17: The Zenoviel Logos Path Enjoy. #bloodandrain #artforovercoming

The narrative of man's psyche is the narrative of the world's psyche. The cyclical narrative never betrayed us. Yet we suddenly assumed in its latest and greatest trial that the equation had changed. Modern warfare made us believe the lie that the cycle had been broken. But Shakespeare warned us of this in one of his final works. Shakespeare broke his own rules, so we would not break ourselves. One grand war told once more In exchange for our Great War. Yet we couldn't seem to shake it for a hundred years. The psyche of the world is healing now. There is no other place to go, as movement is inevitable. Cyclical syntax is being restored. The world will no longer be stuck.
