That\u2019s probably my favorite quote of all time. There\u2019s just so much wisdom packed into those twelve words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Jung said really resonated with me because I realized something similar about myself. I was living a life I never actually chose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean, it\u2019s true if you think about it. Most people end up taking up roles imposed on them by society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, we never decided for ourselves who we truly want to be. Others define us, telling us who we are supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for this reason, most people never become their authentic selves. As Jung further wrote\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe world will ask you who you are, and if you don\u2019t know, the world will tell you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I read that, it hit me hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But to be fair, breaking free from this societal conditioning is tricky. In fact, it\u2019s downright impossible for 99.9% of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, Jung considers the ability to become your authentic self an enormous privilege. And it truly is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026but guess what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are already a Shogun Method practitioner, you are among the few\u2013the 0.1%\u2013to have this privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Because being a Shogun is a crucial step to uncover one\u2019s true identity and purpose as a man.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is part of a process Jung calls <em>individuation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83d\udd34 How Masculine Are You?

It\u2019s the forging of a one\u2019s character, shaping raw potential into refined steel. And it\u2019s especially important for men like you and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here\u2019s the kicker\u2026 individuation can be painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because more often than not, it involves digging into the dark, hidden corners of the masculine psyche. (Jung calls this the <em>shadow<\/em>.) Exploring the shadow, you face your fears, bringing them to light and destroy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, individuation is a struggle\u2013even for the most hardened guys among us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And guess what? If you\u2019re feeling pain now, understand this. Realize that you\u2019re in the middle of individuation, and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be having a hard time right now. A woman may be fucking things up for you. She\u2019s shit-testing you twenty-nine ways to Hell, and you\u2019re left in a daze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you\u2019re in an extremely shitty situation, remember\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s all part of the individuation of a man where facing challenges is crucial to concretize your masculinity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endure through it, and in the end, you\u2019ll emerge on the other side a better, stronger man. TRUST ME. Your 18,000+ brother Shoguns will tell you the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Shogun Method, Derek Rake wrote about how the female psyche is useful to men. Simply, it\u2019s the nature\u2019s truest barometer of masculine worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this is what Derek means. <em>How a woman treats you depends entirely on the strength of your masculinity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;When you score high on the masculinity meter, she treats you like a king. She bends over backwards for you. She obeys everything you say. She does everything you ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No flaking, no messages left unread, no mind games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, if you radiate low masculine worth, expect crappy behavior from your woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She flakes on dates. She ignores your messages. She sends you mixed signals. She\u2019s mean-spirited, disrespectful and bitchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Shoguns treat the female psyche as their masculine barometer. It measures the strength of our masculinity with razor-sharp precision. And it\u2019s never wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Robert Greene once said, everything that happens to us is a lesson if we pay attention. So, if a woman treats you like shit, take heed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s a signal from the universe that you must raise your value as a man.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re here because you\u2019re recognizing the signal. For that, I commend you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By taking this step in your individuation journey, you set yourself apart. Like Shoguns, you\u2019re embracing your Jungian privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carl Jung believed everyone has a unique potential that\u2019s not realized at birth. Our Life\u2019s Task is to discover what this potential is and make it real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shogun Method offers a pathway for individuation\u2013for you and your woman. With Shogun Method, you\u2019ll both individuate together. You&#8217;ll form emotional bonds that transcend plain love and affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of Shogun Method is the IRAE Model. It maps the four stages of sexual individuation: Intrigue, Rapport, Attraction and Enslavement. You\u2019re your woman\u2019s spiritual mentor as she individuates, from Intrigue to all the way to emotional Enslavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be on this journey with her, suffering through the same trials and tribulations only to emerge stronger in the end, together. (In Shogun Method, we call this process Emotional Rollercoastering, or Fractionation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be her fearless leader and a ferocious warrior, cementing your value as a man worthy of her love, respect and devotion. Follow the IRAE Model and notice her emotions turn from casual to admiration, and from love to emotional enslavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s like seeing your masculine value shooting up in real time right before your eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, remember this. The female psyche is nature\u2019s mirror reflecting your masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If women are not treating you how you want to be treated, it\u2019s not their fault. They\u2019re just reacting to their womanly instincts. <em>You may not be masculine enough for her to treat you as a real man.<\/em> That may sound harsh, and yet I must say it because it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand\u2013nothing is more important than the essence of your manhood. For that reason, you must individuate and realize your masculine potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truly, it\u2019s your ultimate Life Task!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is what the most crucial step you must take today is right in front of you. This is your moment, and you must grab it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step up and be a Shogun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out how, go to ShogunMethod.com.
