The most powerful lines aren’t the opposite of truth… They are inverted truth.

The land you stand on carries ancestral memories of the village—of mankind connected to the earth in a beautiful, intimate, natural relationship. Not Walmart and McDonald's and billionaire worship, but indigenous tribes drenched with an ancient culture of interdependency, spirituality, and identity. The kingdoms of the modern world have done their best to strip the village mindset away from the cultures of Planet Earth. As a result, you—the modern man—have been divorced from your nature. It's no wonder you struggle to feel a sense of purpose; you often feel a deep sense of isolation and a lack of solid identity. You have no rite of passage anymore... you've been conditioned to believe you should take on this dystopian world alone, and somehow emerge victorious. It's madness. Imagine leaving the tribe as a young man for your "coming of age" excursion, to survive on your own for a period of time, then returning to the village with a fresh kill and met by joyous yells, guttural chanting, laughter, tears, slaps on the back, your identity forever sealed in the hearts of your neighbors. Your very DNA yearns for this tattoo on your identity—this indelible mark of belonging stamped onto your subconscious mind. Like a wolf, you were made to dance back and forth between the pack and the wilderness, with a manhood forged in the fires of both. So take a moment and grieve what has been lost. The sense of identity and belonging you could have felt all this time. The interdependence and trust you could have experienced with your neighbors. The spiritual depth and connection to the land you could possess. Take a moment. ... Now, it's time to fight like hell to rebuild what's been lost. It won't be perfect, and it won't quite look like what our ancestors practiced. It will incorporate the marvels of modern technology. It will speak a new language. But it is coming. And you are part of it. Time to reclaim your birthright. *hokahey*
