"What is an Alpha male?"

[Shannon]

I will have to disappoint you on answering all of your questions, because one of our rules is that we don't discuss religion or spirituality in the main forum. We have a thread in the chatterbox area for that, I think that's where it is.

What I can say is that I believe a lot of the things you talk about contain subtle misunderstandings of what actually is the case, not by you necessarily, but in their original source. These misunderstandings may be from the ancient origins, but I think it is more likely that they were introduced later.

Regardless, I disagree with some of the ideas on important points that I cannot get into at the moment for various reasons. There is a post somewhere in one of the requests sections where I discuss Ho'oponopono, and you may find that to be of interest.

About transcendent alpha, you have seen them, but did not know it. That's because they don't need to have anyone's recognition as being what they are for it to be valid and true. The transcendent alpha can walk into a room and remain entirely unnoticed, or become the center of attention and admiration as he chooses because his validity and alphaness is coming from himself. Nobody else needs to even know what he is. So sometimes, you'll see him sitting at a bar, alone, just eating dinner. He might not look "alpha" physically. He might not even choose to express his alpha. But that does not change the facts. It is his choice what happens, and that is always true. For him, the constant struggle and overt display of strength and power is not needed. For him, it is a waste of his valuable time and energy, which he chooses to spend elsewhere.

I have read websites where they try to define men by their characteristics. I believe the type I am referring to was known as the "sigma", which is the only threat to the Alpha, because he is everything the alpha is, without being in the alpha's control. Something like that. Interesting theory and classification, but in the end the goal is to rise above needing other people to know or care who or what you are because you are your own system of support and success.

So when I read about people's struggle on the journal with these programs bringing up a lot of negativity and resistance, I rejoice in the knowing that there is something real taking place here and I have mad respect for people that choose to face their own inner demons. and not run away from them.

I like seeing people get results, but I would like more if I could find a way to make these transformations happen without conscious knowledge or discomfort, which I am working on. It may or may not be possible depending on the specifics. Some experience of pain may be necessary. But I tend to believe that we must face the pain, and not necessary feel the pain, to get through it. Pain is only useful if we choose not to learn through easier means, such as wisdom.

I'm inclined to believe that true change takes place on more emotional level with humans... how does your subliminals work to unearth these negativity for people, a lot of times are completely unconscious stuff ppl are dealing with and help to release this stuff... just all through suggestions it is made manifest?? I am careful to get into mind work because it could lead to mind masturbation where nothing actual happens.

Change takes place through both intellectual and emotional awarenesses within humans. Which is more important depends on one's particular modes of focus. Emotional is going to be less effective in a strongly intellectual focused individual, because they are usually trying to distance themselves from their emotions. But both will be in play to varying degrees, depending on the individual.

All subliminals that work, work through introducing an idea until the subconscious accepts it as true. At that time, it will begin acing on that truth. What it does will depend on the other beliefs in the system, and how they relate. But ultimately, it is just a presentation of ideas. Once the idea is accepted, it is acted upon as being true, and that brings it's truth from simply being, to being manifest.

Mind masturbation, as you put it, is a phenomenon of a resisted attempt to change the conscious mind, or rarely, an incomplete effort to change the subconscious mind. I could not hope to keep this business going if my programs did not produce results. We have a limited amount of time on this earth. No time to waste on mind masturbation.
