Quote:BEHAVIOR and RESULTS are a DIRECT REFLECTION of what you ARE BEING!
Which means, if you have inner peace but no friends, no job, no women, you're NOT an alpha.
An alpha is an alpha, and a beta is a beta, and a hater is a hater.
The King who must scream to get his will taken seriously, or the man who can simply look at another and achieve the same result.
In a world where an alpha is an alpha, and a beta is a beta, there are only two colors in the rainbow.
If you have inner peace, but no job, no woman and no friends... but you have that situation because it is what you consciously chose for yourself, and you are happy with it - it is very possible that you are indeed alpha.
An alpha is a LEADER, first and foremost. And a true alpha is a leader of SELF first and foremost. Doing what is desired internally regardless of what anyone or anything external says or does. This is, in fact, the real path to self mastery and inner peace.
So yes, one can be "zen" and "alpha" at the same time. In the end, they are one and the same, because by being alpha, truly and genuinely alpha, one naturally finds inner peace.
Yes, this is true -- the issue (at least for me), isn't the concept of zen.
It's the notion that you can't become zen by pursuing and accomplishing your goals. The notion that pursuing external wealth is somehow "wrong" and "un-zen," and being broke, directionless and without women is somehow "zen" and "alpha."
Many of the "zen masters" on this forum have little to show for their lives and AREN'T happy with it. Instead of taking action, they're trying to diagnose the world with a sickness rather than realizing that they're suppressing their natural masculine instincts to depolarize themselves. Which essentially turns them into a eunuch.
If they were truly satisfied with their lives, they wouldn't spend so much time attempting to convince others to follow their way of life. And as I stated time and time again:
Isn't it funny that these "zen master" types only manifest when you're happy and embodying the meaning of success?
When I was broke, aimless and near suicide in 2014, there were NO zen masters in my life telling me how to find peace. No one gave a sh*t about me -- all they were interested in was what I could do for them as a marketer.
Then, the moment I become the chaosvrgn and began taking control of my life -- training in martial arts again after a 3 year hiatus, aggressively pursuing entrepreneurship, dating and having sex after having an eleven month dry spell, then all of a sudden, the zen masters are coming out in full force with their BS.
I see it like this:

Every person you meet functions as either a window to what you want to become or a mirror of what you hate the most about yourself. To these "zen masters," people like me reflects what they hate about themselves -- the fact that they want what I have, but are too afraid to reach out and grab it.
So again, I will reject their nonsense philosophies and musings, and I'll keep running subs to acquire more money, power and wealth. I'll keep creating great things.
