Introduction
We live in an age when masculinity is under attack. Never have males been more effeminate, weak, and perhaps worst of all proud of it. The modern male has lost his warrior spirit, that fire that animated him to achieve great deeds in ages past.
Now we live in a time when everything is neutered and sanitized until there is nothing left. Boys are taught that their masculinity is evil and is something that they should be ashamed of. Because of this we have a generation of weak effeminate cucks.
We have male feminists, white knights, and a whole host of other evils that plague our society. The truth of the matter is that most of these males never had any guidance. They never had a strong father figure who told them to “man up” or more importantly how to go about doing so.
The world is crying out for masculinity and yet little is to be found. To be a masculine man in this age is to be a great beacon of light in a dark stormy sea. A beacon that can show others the way.
Those that cannot be saved will be declared war on however there can be no victory until masculinity is restored throughout the lands.
It is masculinity that brings order out of chaos. And the good kind of order not the slave order that society would push on males. Confining them to cubicles, having to keep their balls in their wives purse, as well as keeping their thoughts within certain boundaries. That is not order but rather slavery under the guise of order.
However even if you were never given guidance on being a man you can still become one. Even if your father abandoned you and your society has left you for dead if you do not choose slavery you can still make it. You can still be a free masculine man in a world of weak effeminate slaves and their masters.
You can be the barbarian, the warrior, and the king that you know you were meant to be. There is a spark deep inside that knows this. Depending on who you are and how conditioned you have been this spark may be down deep. But nevertheless it is there and this spark can turn into a blazing fire if given the right fuel.
Well this book is the right fuel. The fuel that will turn that heated coal into a raging inferno of greatness. It’s time to reclaim your masculinity, it’s time to reclaim your freedom. Life is too short and too precious to spend any part of it a slave.
Heed the call. The ancient primal call that comes from your creator and that your very blood cries out for. You were meant to live with a fire in your heart. To be a man fully and completely. That is you task in life. Because trust me when you become a man fully and completely everything else will fall into place.
Now join me on the most important journey you will ever undertake. A journey to reclaim your masculinity.
Embracing The “I Am Dominant” Frame
What does it mean to be dominant? While there are many facets to dominance. The different types of dominance have an underlying similarity. Specifically that they have to do with your reality being stronger than the others. This can be cultivated even to the point where you shape the very world around you. No I’m not talking about psychic powers or any such nonsense. I’m talking using your mind to create the life of your dreams.
Being dominant is about having a stronger frame or version of reality than others. So for a simplified example let’s say that you think you’re great. You meet a girl who looks at you and says your trash. A guy with no dominance and a weak frame would apologize for “being trash” or react emotionally while agreeing with her subconsciously. A guy with a strong frame and sense of dominance would either ignore her completely or laugh at her faulty attempts to faze him.
This is the mindset that you should have. In any situation that you are dominant. This doesn’t mean domineering where you wade your way into everyone’s space and make demands of them. Rather than your frame and the way you see things remain the dominant focal point of your mind.
In Social Settings
Well use a party as an example. Let’s say you’re at a party in high school. You just moved in from out of town and were invited by some girl who went into some room with a guy and you haven’t seen her in a while nor expect to. It’s just you, you don’t know anything else. Now let’s say you see a cute girl surrounded in a corner surrounded by a bunch of guys.
A guy with a dominant mindset would go over and talk to her. As his desire to do so would be more important to him than being judged by others. A guy with a submissive mindset would try to make friends with everyone first then be “allowed” to talk to the girl. He wouldn’t go straight after what he wants, he would go about in a roundabout way. Which is feminine and submissive behavior.
The point is you should always consider your frame of reference the most important one. You’re at a party, you think you’re great, awesome. Talk to whoever you want, flirty with whoever you want, operate uninhibitedly as a freeman. Don’t let others shame you into a corner or accept their version of reality if it differs from yours. Do so and people will eventually come around to your version of reality. They may resist it at first but the weak have docile minds and will always give in to someone who knows in which direction they are headed. A man with a “I am dominant” mindset.
You’re The King
You are the king of your own world. You are the most important person in your own world. You should love yourself and invest in yourself. Care more about what you think of yourself than what others think of you, no matter who those others may be. Let your frame and version of reality be the strongest. Don’t give in to what others think. Instead choose your own path and follow it to
fruition.
What you think matters most. Others will try to shame you and control you. Don’t let them. Nothing and I mean nothing is worth your freedom. You are the captain of your own ship. You control in which direction your life is heading. It is your choice to be a confident dominant man who gets the most out of life or to be another castrated slave, a sheep, shackled to the limited beliefs of society and others.
Break free and reclaim your freedom. Live for yourself that is how it is supposed to be. Treat the world as your own personal domain, for it is. Well that’s not entirely accurate as it’s not just the world that is your domain but the universe itself. We were created to be creators. To extend our will on the world and reality around us and shape it to how we see fit.
Summary
Assert yourself into the reality of others with your own version always being the strongest. Pierce and dominate the reality of others with your own. Always maintain the frame and have the stronger version of reality. You’re the king, never forget this. When others see strength they instinctually test it, especially women. But once they see you won’t change for them then they submit to it. Women will generally get turned on and males will either get all pissy you don’t give a shit what they think, while men will respect you. Always embrace the “I am dominant” mindset in every situation regardless if it’s with work, women, or wherever else. You are dominant.
The Only Way To Get Respect
Despite what your yuppie teachers told you talking will never get you respect. There is only one thing that will get you respect and that is fear and fear is cultivated through force.
The Truth About Society
Despite what everyone will say society is based on force. Nothing more and nothing less. The only reason anyone follows a law is because there is a police force there to enforce the consequences should they break it. The only reason people cooperate with the police force is because they have guns they can use to enforce their will. The only reason certain countries don’t invade others is because larger forces may attack them for it.
Force is ultimately what matters. He who has the force has the power and therefore the respect. It has nothing to do with morality or who has the right ideology. Respect derives from being able to use force properly which is where fear comes from. From being dangerous and as a man as I said in The Primer
“A man who ain’t dangerous, ain’t much of a man”
This will ruffle the feathers of many but it’s the truth. If you’re not dangerous you can’t fully be a man. It’s funny people will say an “alpha male” or whatever is someone who is ripped and well-dressed despite neither one of those facets having much to do with masculinity. The basis for society and respect is force.
Fear
You might have this idea that I’m telling you to become some domineering asshole who tries to start a fight with everyone he meets. This is far from the truth. First off someone who looks for fights often finds them and if it was a real fight it isn’t something he’ll be looking for anytime soon. No I’m telling you that to be a man you must be able to defend yourself and that which you care about whether it is your spouse and country (or not) or your children. They should have respect for you because they know that you are capable of applying a dangerous amount of force. They know that their father, brother, friend, or whatever category you fall into is not someone to be messed with and has the capacity to be dangerous.
Learn to fight and to shoot. There are no exceptions to this. Your gated neighborhoods aren’t keeping anyone out for long. Change is coming to America and the rest of the world. You can pretend like violence isn’t going to be a part of your life but it will be. If you have sons it is imperative that you teach them to fight. If not they will be weeded out and picked on. The weak of the pack are the ones that are picked off. Don’t let it be your offspring. If you are a father and don’t teach your sons how to apply force against those who would stand against them or use it against them you have failed them as a father and set them up for a life of pain.
Practical Steps
If you don’t have a gun then get one. That’s step one. Then learn the proper use of that gun. Learn how to point shoot. Target shooting isn’t going to do you much good. Then pick up a martial art of some sort it doesn’t matter which as long as you use it with ferocity and intensity. Personally I’m partial to boxing with some Judo or Wrestling mixed in but do what works for you. Make sure that whatever you do you throw in striking and ground work don’t neglect either as both are important. And most importantly cultivate the attitude needed to inflict violence on another. Embrace you masculine animalistic instinct and harness it. Violence is part of our world and force is needed, understand this.
Fighting Is A Necessary Skill
Violence. It makes up a fundamental part of our world. Though many have been able to shelter themselves from it, that time is coming to an end. The world is changing. People are being thrown together that have nothing and common and nothing but distrust and hatred for each other. The elites love this as it causes disorder, hatred, and tension. Allowing them to be the heroes that all can supposedly rally to. However in the meantime it will result in more pain, suffering, and death. Which will eventually lead to tyranny.
Not a pretty picture but an accurate one. For many years the vast majority of those living in Western societies have been able to get away with being soft. They were sheltered from violence by strong men who they often hated and lambasted. Now we live in a world where the strong men can only do so much and often won’t if it isn’t politically correct. Soon you will be on your own. Especially if you are a law abiding citizen who isn’t rich or isn’t part of a protected class and even then you may not be safe.
I don’t say this to project doom and gloom nor to scare you. Though if you have taken no measures to prepare you should feel some source of discomfort. That discomfort you feel now may very well be the thing that saves your life one day. Because it spurned you on to action, it spurned you on to take matters into your own hands. To take responsibility for your safety, because no one else is going to.
Be Dangerous
In The Primer I said “A man who isn’t dangerous isn’t much of a man” and I stand by that. We have been weakened and are ripe for the plundering which is happening all around us. Look at crime statistics, there is a war going on with real causalities. You could be next if you allow yourself to be a target. It doesn’t matter if you live in a gated neighborhood or out in the country you will only be isolated for so long before you will have to deal with the changing realities of the world.
You must become dangerous if you and your kin are going to survive the next fifty years. You best know how to fight. This isn’t a suggestion, it’s a requirement if you want to live in peace. Remember the only way to prevent war. To be so strong that declaring war on you wouldn’t be worth it. That’s the only way to keep peace, to be able to beat the living dog shit out of the other guy. Not words, not bribing, and sure as fuck not kindness. But violence. Violence is golden.
Train For Combat
Training is good. While when most think of training they think of weight training which there is nothing wrong with and which I do and recommend wholeheartedly. However there are some stipulations there. You shouldn’t train alone for being big or for looks but you should train for something that will be beneficial for you. Train for strength, train for doing damage to others, but don’t train simply for vanity like a woman. There should be a point to your training, to make you more dangerous in some capacity.
Imagine the gladiators or Spartans or the Marines training. They train for something useful, combat. Not to look good in a mirror. That is how you should approach your training. Always include some sort of combat focus in your training, so not using weights alone as great as they can be. Make sure to include a martial art of some sort. Boxing, grappling, military combat, jiu-jitsu, I don’t care but whatever it is train to get better at it. Not to achieve simple proficiency but to excel.

Summary
Cultivate the skill to fight and more importantly the will to fight. Without the will the body is useless. With the will much can be accomplished. Things are returning to survival of the fittest and if you are a law abiding hard working citizen then you are going to be a target for the barbarians and those at the top. The only way to be safe is to the baddest barbarian there is. Which isn’t always possible but at the very least you can help yourself by not being a soft target.
Remember criminals often operate as predators looking for the weak to pick on. They operate like bullies. They don’t take on the football captain who also boxes and has an anger problem. No, they pick on those that they can. Don’t be one of those that they can. Become dangerous and walk with confidence that you can handle yourself should violence arise. Be dangerous, be a man.
Prey, Predators, & Alpha Predators
Humans are animals. I don’t mean this as an insult nor do I mean it as I’m about to step up on a high horse and tell us all how were supposed to be nice or whatever to others. I try to separate the information in this book from emotions, codes, and morality and simply present the facts. Not because I am against morality per se, simply that it can obscure truth. A prime example of this is the difference between a good man and a man who is good at being a man.
A good man is a man who does everything our society says he does. He’s a good feminist, not racist, thinks homosexuality is the greatest thing since sliced bread, has no balls, etc. This is what it takes to be considered a good man by the government, societies, and churches (among others) in the Western world. Whereas a man who is good at being a man is a masculine man. He embraces his masculinity and all that comes with it. He is often hated by society as men are hard to control, real men that is, not castrated sheep.
Humans function in animalistic ways. You have alphas and betas. You have fighting for dominance, resources, and survival. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying humans are simply animals, but that they have an animal nature that is shared with a thinking nature shared with that beyond animals. Humans have one foot on that above and one foot on that below occupying a middle plane. Like animals there are predators and prey. Regardless if you like it or not man is a violent creature. One that will prey on destroy the weak and feeble if given the chance. Factor in race, cultural, or religious differences and this desire increases tenfold.
