Unpacking The Warrior Archetype | Douglas Gillette | Ep #065

ManKind Podcast

04/08/22 • 75 min

Every great civilization has a great warrior tradition and accompanying warrior myths. From birth, Spartan society nurtured and trained their boys to become warriors, and that rigorous training created men like Leonidas and his 300 men of unconquerable spirit. Japan had their fearless samurai warriors whose undaunted courage came from living life as if they were already dead.

Today the Warrior archetype lives on in our reverence for those who serve in the armed forces and in modern books and movies. William Wallace from Braveheart and General Maximus from Gladiator embody the Warrior archetype.

But in general, modern culture is not comfortable with Warrior energy. The advent of mechanized warfare during the first half of the 20th century dampened the romantic ideal of martial courage. Since the social and cultural revolutions of the 60s and 70s, we’ve generally taught boys and men to avoid confrontation and conflict and to instead nurture their “feminine side.” The result is the Nice Guy; the man who will avoid confrontation and aggression even when confrontation and aggression are justified.

Society pushes men to be sweet and sensitive because they fear them becoming coldly stoic, abusive, and destructively angry. But society’s perception of the Warrior archetype is not based on the Warrior energy in its full, healthy manifestation, but on the archetype’s shadows. The problem is not Warrior energy itself, but Warrior energy that is not used in harmony with the other masculine archetypes and directed by empathy, contemplation, and order.

Properly tapping into the Warrior’s energy provides a man with an unsurpassable power source that will fuel him to reach his goals, fight for worthy causes, achieve greatness, and leave a lasting legacy.

Unpacking The Lover Archetype | Douglas Gillette | Ep #064

ManKind Podcast

04/04/22 • 70 min

When you hear the word “lover” you probably think of romance and sex.

But there are many types of love–a love for family, for friends, for God, and for life itself–and the Lover archetype passionately seeks after them all.

The Lover is the archetype of emotion, feeling, idealism, and sensuality. Like the word “lover,” sensuality is often exclusively associated with sex but really has a far broader application. Being sensual means opening up and using all of your senses in all areas of your life–touching, tasting, smelling, hearing, and seeing–or in other words–experiencing as many dimensions of life as possible, as often as possible.

Thus, when a man taps into the Lover archetype’s energy, he feels alive with vim and vigor and connected to the world and those around him. A man in touch with the Lover archetype feels deeply, whether those feelings are of joy or pain. - The Art Of Manliness: The Lover Archetype
We have been blessed with the opportunity to interview Author, Douglas Gillette over the past several months as we've set out to unpack and present to you the four foundational archetypes of the male psyche.
Key takeaways from this episode:

How the lover archetype has been misrepresented by popular male thought.
The Shadow forms of the Lover.
How to access the Lover in its fullness.

Creating Hope For The Future By Improving Men’s Health | Jed Diamond | Ep #072

ManKind Podcast

05/12/22 • 51 min

Jed Diamond brings me hope. He’s been sitting in men’s groups for over 40 years. He’s built a life, a livelihood, a marriage, and a family that is driven by his passion and curiosity. Jed is an unassuming Buddha ... a quiet and generative wise man.

I’ve been in a diverse group of folks with Jed for a few months now to talk about a ‘Moonshot for ManKind’

Men die younger, are involved in more accidents, and suffer at higher rates from all 10 of the leading causes of death.

Jed doesn’t talk blame, he talks responsibility, and he doesn’t play the victim. He lives in the space of being a learner, a healer, and a servant of helping others find better ways of living. In this conversation, we talk about the influence of fathers and the father wound. We talk about the profound value in creating life-long connections with men in men’s groups.

Then we dive into health and healing for men ... what can we do to improve men’s health across our lifespans ... for all kinds of men, across ideologies and backgrounds ... How can we bridge our differences and create health for everyone?

This conversation is for you if you love men. That’s it.

If you love men, come sit with a wise man and think about what you might do,

for your own health, and for the future of humanity.
