Why do we see a need for this initiative?
We are helping people around the world return to their intuition, and we should never underestimate the value of first impressions. This is because, on a global scale, people are bombarded with information from multiple sources. Sadly, but not alarmingly, most people take the ‘path of least resistance’ when it comes to determining the reliability of the information they are inundated with, and they’re indoctrinated to believe that anything they see in the media must be true. Our team exists to empower people by introducing new processes for analyzing information so everyone gets the opportunity to learn, un-learn, and re-learn smarter ways of thinking and taking action for one’s self. This way, we can positively impact our societies and cultures.
Why is this important?
We live in a divided world today, a world rooted in fear and distrust. Without trust, there is no baseline for meaningful, constructive human interaction; and no solid foundation for deeper connection. Until this changes, there will always be a lack of trust, thus dividing humanity and degrading our overall quality of life.
Unless information is determined reliable (trustworthy), found to be true (not false), or is based on facts and not distortions, humans will continue to be at odds on the major issues that confront all of us as a species: the human race.
We can longer afford to be manipulated by others serving their own agendas or activities which are not in the best interests of humanity. Our battle cry is, “Seeing is Not believing!” Just because we see something in mass media, for example, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true.
How / when did we get started on this NeoMasculinity quest?
Though I didn’t know it at the time, the foundation for NeoMasculinity.Solutions began in my childhood with a lifechanging emotional injury: a depraved human act that happened to me on a neighborhood sleepover. That’s when my quest for the truth in all things started. Questions concerning the role of men in society, what it means to be a man and the higher purpose we serve, and the importance of trust between human beings - all these questions had to be answered.
Dan Ploger, one of our key NeoM teammates, is an engineer and trained scientist. His passion for information systems and studying the laws of the universe have been lifelong endeavors. Like myself, he has a strong desire to share his knowledge, expertise, and experience with others to improve the lives of more people, family units, societies and cultures around the world.
Together, we all win because it’s about elevating consciousness, improving life experiences, and uplifting humankind.
The concept for NeoMasculinity.Solutions started to formalize nearly 7 years ago when Dan and I met at a guitar lesson we both attended in Florida. It was there that we began conversing about the digital age of information and the challenges it poses for most people.
It’s not only about education, or a lack of it... It’s about how more people determine reliable information so we can reduce the proliferation of hate and fear; and mitigate the spread of growing ideological differences and division. It’s also about the erosion of trust in media, in our education systems, our healthcare systems, and government institutions worldwide.
What makes our team different?
We’re a diverse mix of men and women who collectively pack over 100 years’ international experience in human potential, business, emotional regulation and self-governance, leadership, information systems, and more.
Importantly, we stand firm in our conviction to elevate consciousness and improve the human condition. We honor our gender roles without fighting against our natural instincts or strengths. Ultimately, it’s about working towards cohesion and refusing to operate in the ‘battle of the sexes’. We aren’t looking to accentuate differences, but instead highlight the attributes and qualities that each gender contributes to global solidarity and interrelatedness, starting within the family.
Why we define 'neomasculinity' different to Google?
With one Google search, anyone can find multiple meanings and definitions of ‘neo-masculinity’. Our take, and the purpose of our organization, is to advocate for an elevated perspective on masculine roles that support the family unit and societal stability (and more) by embracing both the feminine and masculine energy within each of us in congruence with natural laws and principles.
This is why men and women can join our movement: we believe we need both the masculine and feminine for truth, integrity and love to exist in a harmonious society.
We believe that masculinity is an energy, a personal power; and that masculinity is essential for societal wellbeing when expressed with integrity and truth through a lens of love, light and leadership.
We aim to provide men with the tools to become custodians of truth and rational thought in a complex world in which many forces and narratives prefer to see a divide, confusion, or avoidance of the highest nature of either the masculine or feminine.
Our vision and what we aim to accomplish.
We serve to empower men on a global scale so they can reconnect with their masculinity at a higher plane of consciousness, embrace their innate masculine power through the lens of love and leadership, fulfil the expanded nature of their masculine roles, and protect their loved ones from pervasive threats cause by misinformation and media sensationalism.
Long term, and on a grander note, we want to create a global education program to teach practical critical thinking skills and self-governance to everyone. It’s not impossible...
Why do we believe critical thinking skills are lacking at large?
We became aware that most people don’t even know, or wouldn’t be able to articulate, what ‘critical thinking’ is.
How are we getting our message across?
In any way possible! This includes word of mouth, social media, constructive conversations with friends, colleagues and peers, speaking engagements, podcast and TV interviews, our website, apparel merch for sale, and our pocket guide, the Sentinel Handbook.
Why did we call it, “The Sentinel Handbook”?
We decided on the Sentinel because a sentinel is a guard, someone keeping watch in service of love and protection over something. It’s laid out similar to the US Army Ranger guidebook.
By imploring our fellow man to stand guard over the information we receive (and subsequently allow ourselves to trust as truth) through the art and skill of critical thinking, we can further protect our loved ones, cultures, creeds and environments against further harm by malicious intent or hidden agendas.
Does your company only offer solutions for men?
No, we empower women as well - everybody is welcome! It doesn’t matter your creed, culture, or country.
The solutions we offer are rooted in critical thinking, natural laws, and transformational self leadership plus a gender role component that goes beyond analyzing information. This is not about sex or gender. It’s about masculine and feminine roles being fulfilled in ways that enhance and empower the very capacities that each of the energies (masculine and feminine) naturally possess.
So far, both men and women embrace the idea of creating trust between people, receiving reliable information, and reconnecting on deeper levels as men and women. Every family unit needs a ‘Sentinel’ to thrive as a healthy, happy, harmonious whole.
What is your answer to the claim that NeoMasculinity does not solve ‘toxic masculinity’?
We say it does, but we invite our critics to explore deeper because the two subjects are not the same...
By embracing our intuition and by having exercised due diligence over years of study and honest conversations with men and women from all walks of life, we concluded that the concept of toxic masculinity is yet another modern-day social aberration which gets a lot of hits in the online space, much like that of other popular terms like quiet quitting, spiritual bypassing, and more.
We aren’t denying that certain systems and patterns existed up to now, but when broad characterizations based on disinformation is repeatedly misused and misunderstood, a ripple effect can be felt across society.
The concept of toxic masculinity ultimately destroys male confidence, causes confusion within self concept, distorts perceived social norms, and quashes the natural resistance that critically-thinking men and women who actually serve from a place of elevated consciousness in order to protect the people (primarily their families) from outside threats.
I think most of us would agree that personal and social damage caused by unreliable information in mass proportion causes harm to society, especially within developing minds. As much as there may be toxic masculinity, it can also be argued that there’s as much toxic femininity…
Two wrongs don’t make a right, and none of us can resolve an imbalance with an overcorrection on the other side. Natural laws prevail whether we choose to believe them or not, much like gravity.
You stress “nature-defined”. What is your meaning of this?
It’s simple science and not complex. We base our position on human biology, psychology, DNA and genetic disposition. We don’t operate from an ever-changing canvas of personal whims or fantasies or popular social narratives being imposed upon people by others. Being ‘woke’ and being awakened are two different things from our perspective.
How would you define a ‘dysfunctional family’, then?
Dysfunctional families, aside from abuse and neglect, also perpetuate the unspoken rules of don'ttalk, don't trust, don't feel. We are all the beliefs and paradigms we were raised with, even if we’re unconscious of them. Without going into detail, this impacts not only childhood development but also impacts us as adults until we bring to light that which we weren’t aware of before.
16) Where to from here, what are your goals?
We envision teaching critical thinking and self-agency skills on a global level by creating digital and in-person programs, courses and events. In doing so, we intend to up the ante on keeping families, cultures, and societies intact and whole. Freedom and human rights will be strengthened. Trust will expand, self-concept will improve, truth will thrive, honesty will be the norm, and human connection will be strengthened.
Why is this such a hot topic today?
The ‘battle of the sexes’ has been going on since the days of loincloths, yet whole and healthy family and community units have existed long before us because of the harmonious blend of masculine and feminine within each.
In today’s times, no one is offering a combination of higher consciousness + critical thinking solutions that go beyond analyzing information for its accuracy, reliability or truthfulness. Self-trust and self-leadership are key to developing self-agency, especially when one wishes to step into the highest nature of your divine masculine or feminine.
Nowadays, the metaphorical battlefield isn’t as clear-cut as saber tooth tigers... The information we are bombarded with 24/7 in a world that aims to distract us is most often intentionally distorted by one side or the other, thereby very often perceived as a partisan issue.
People everywhere ‘feel uneasy’ about the information they are receiving, and intuitively know that much of the information doesn’t seem to be “quite right. Most of the time, it doesn’t follow logic, is unreasonable, and defies common sense.
Do you believe white men are of a privileged class? Is this an effort to reinforce the patriarchy?
Class and privilege are two different things, as are creed and culture. One could argue that only white men from western society may be deemed privileged, more so than African or Filipino men, for example. But if we’re talking a numbers game, then what about Russia or China... It’s a loaded question.
No, the NeoMasculinity brand is not an attempt to reinforce patriarchy, or even honor it. We include men and women from all walks of life in our programs and processes because we need both men and woman to form a whole.
Every well-balanced, healthy, thriving, cohesive society infuses both masculine and feminine energy.
Both men and women are needed to analyze and fact-find information from any source to determine reliability, truth and sustainability, and to safeguard against violating human rights and freedom.
Are conservative values a necessary ingredient for this?
Yes and no because, along with other personal values and character attributes: it all depends on one’s subjective opinions of what constitutes “conservative” or not. Whether one identifies as being liberal or conservative is a very American ideology, yet we’re here to serve on a global scale in multiple countries with different views and cultures.
Open-mindedness is key, along with a desire to seek truth and a willingness to reject lies or admit ignorance or dishonesty when we’re exposed to it.
Can liberals or progressives be part of your neo-masculine movement?
Again, this question implies a political stance instead of one based on personal values, virtues, or awakened consciousness.
We are not a political party... We are a movement to empower, strengthen and uplift people on a global scale, especially men in our modern-day times. So the answer is YES.
NeoMasculinity.Solutions is not discriminatory, and the members of our team don’t label themselves into bipolar categories created by an old regime. Everyone has the capacity to analyze information for its reliability, and to dig deeper for truth. What differentiates people is their desire to give due diligence or not when seeking the truth.
Google says neo-masculinity is an alt-right creation. True?
No, we don’t believe in the Google definition of what it really means to support neo-masculinity. What we find on Google implies that for men to be truly masculine, they must accept changing
societal norms without question and automatically follow the media hype on multiple fronts.
While this is true on the surface and we want open-minded people to join forces with us because change is the only constant (per the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy, for example), we urge people to practice discernment. Otherwise, misinformation opens the door to accepting lies or supporting narratives that do not follow natural laws or universal principles that govern all of
nature, logic, reason, or even common sense.
Authentic NeoMasculine men don’t lie. They hold themselves to high standards of integrity, both with others and to themselves. Being honest and transparent are also key components of our NeoMasculinity movement. This takes courage, and starts with radical self-honesty and self-trust.
Why is critical thinking an important cornerstone of neo-masculinity?
All humans, both men and women, have been gifted with the power of intuition. Intuition is one of the 6 higher faculties of human consciousness, and it’s what jumpstarts the human critical thinking process. We also possess gut instinct, rooted in our instinctual behaviors and physiology on a more primal level based on our biological makeup. Many men, for example, share how ]listening to their gut’ helped or made them achieve something.
Critical thinking, strategic thinking, trial and error, and real-world experiences allow humans to formulate their own beliefs on what is a threat and what isn’t. Critical thinking is how we learn, it’s how we find the truth. It’s how we can distinguish between fear and threat. If people believe all the unreliable information fed to them, then they become easier to divide and manipulate.
If people believe all the unreliable information fed to them, then they become easier to divide and manipulate. We are seeing this play out on a global scale.
Additionally, critical thinking allows humanity an opportunity to improve on its past so that history doesn’t need to repeat itself. We debunk the old myth that history repeats itself: the only time history repeats itself is if we don’t learn from our past mistakes.
By instilling fear, hatred, illogical concepts and misunderstanding among the masses, any society and culture becomes susceptible to media manipulation and negative influence.
Do you see men’s roles as superior to feminine roles?
No. We believe that for humanity to function optimally, it takes both the masculine and feminine roles to protect the family unit and work together cohesively outside the home, thus creating
harmony and synergistic flow to everything we can achieve together.
Without each other operating in a high-functioning, cohesive, mutually beneficial and critically thinking state, and by taking into account various respective biological and traditional roles, humankind won’t thrive... nor can it survive. It would cease to exist over the long term.
Our work is rooted in the natural laws of the universe, and the 12 hermetic principles apply no matter whether we’re male or female by biological design. When we take it further and maximize the principles to meet our modern-day societal constructs, most of which have been imposed on us in western cultures, we can better understand how and why we all need both the feminine and the masculine in order to achieve natural harmony.
We don’t define “being neo-masculinized” as a women needing to “become a man”, or vice versa. We understand why many women have to step into their masculine, and men into their feminine,
in today’s world. This doesn’t automatically mean, however, that a woman must become a man; or a man a woman. For all intents and purposes, that’s biologically impossible.
NeoMasculinity.Solutions is building a few avenues through which consumers can explore a legitimate process to analyze information, media hype, and social media noise for truth in a world inundated with deflection, dishonesty, ignorance, and false narratives. And when unreliable information is found, it must be rejected. Both men and women can hold themselves responsible to make this happen.
Do you think traditional roles are evenly split or fair between men and women?
Whatever people think about gender roles is based on multiple factors, but especially their core beliefs, cultures, and religious (if any) ideologies. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter: we have to live with
gender roles regardless and it has nothing to do with fairness - it just is. For example, only a woman with her natural, biological womb can become pregnant and carry a child to birth.
Good, accurate and reliable information has never been free, there’s always been a price tag on due diligence to get to the truth. If men and women work together to seek truth and reject lies and mis-information, it’s best if we work together.
How do you respond when people say you’re just a repackaged version of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate?
Whether they apply or not, people get labeled... it’s just how it is. It doesn’t really matter to me because, generally, most labels are simply someone else’s opinion. People also tend to fear being judged or ridiculed, and most people fear that which they don’t understand.
I take a different approach to solving the challenges facing all of us, our humanity: my desire is to work with others and do it constructively, even if it means going against the grain. I also strive to work with others without labeling each other - we’re all human, we’re all connected, we are all of the same infinite tapestry of the human race.
As for Jordan and Andrew: I am not them; they are not me. Although we’re all interconnected, we are also all the individual parts that make up the whole, the collective. I am me. We can all only stand for the changes we wish to see in this world, and we can all do our best in doing our part.
Is there any room for trans people?
Yes. We believe there is always room for more people in this conversation. Everyone can improve their critical-thinking skills and enhance their self-agency, and we all learn from each other.
We are a global re-masculinization movement on a mission to seek and protect truth, freedom, and family. And we need everyone - both men and women - to fulfil our vision.
