In my previous post I talked about integrating Purple (+60 practical ideas to implement it).
Read it before this one.
Its impossible to integrate red without purple.
Goes DEEP:
 
In this one I rant about red.
Its going to resonate with men for most part.
Feedback is welcome.
Lets go.
 
RED:
What is red?
Everything that resonates with:
-Risk. Action. Hero. Warrior. Fight. Blood. Adrenaline

Red is about:
-Challenging your body for the sake of doing it, almost in a masochistic way. Feel alive. Take RISKS. Warrior mentality.
-Expressing your SEXUAL ENERGY in healthy ways. 
-Having clear BOUNDARIES & consequences when crossed; so you can fully stick to your blue principles.
-Thinking less. Take ACTION.
-Start thinking how you can life a HEROIC life. How can you flirt with death?
 
 
PRACTICAL STEPS:
 
- Stop talking about ‘masculinity'. Talk about MANLINESS.


- Think of all your DEEPEST (legal) SEXUAL KINKY FANTASIES. Make them REAL.
STOP - watching -  porn as a mean to satisfy your these fantasies.
Follow this rule: 'Im only going to watch porn videos that I had put into practice before in real life'
Ex: If you haven't done a threesome, don't watch threesome videos.  GO do a threesome in REAL life!)
 
-Learn about BDSM, and implement it.
 
-Ravish your woman.
Slap her, spit on her, choke her, piss on her (CONSENSUAL! Don’t be stupid!)
She has to genuinely enjoy this even more than you do.
Can you reach a point where she begs you to do it?
Is she getting more pleasure out of this than you do?
 
-Approach that girl in the club conveying your masculine sexual energy. Go for a ONS (sober) with talking as little as possible.
Just pure physical, energetic, polarizing, raw, visceral attraction.
Be proud of that sexual 'conquest'
 
-Eye contact. Even to the point were is uncomfortable.
-Don't smile if its not sincere.
 
- Challenge your body:
 
-Wake up at 6am and go for a run outside in the cold, or for a swim in the sea. Or sprint until you are nauseous.
Just for the sake of it. Is painful, is uncomfortable but you are a beast, and you love it.
 
-Go to martial arts classes.
Master at least 3 moves (ex:  jab-straight right hand; jab-low kick; near choke; 1 takedown).
Learn how to dodge punches.
You don’t really need more than that to be confident enough for handling a threatening situation.
 
-Fast for +48h. Feel how adaptable and strong your body is. Enjoy the hunger.
Fuck this society standards of eating 3 times a day. You are a warrior. You don’t need that.
 
-Confront people when they cross your boundaries (verbally).
 
-Go for a walk in a poor dangerous neighborhood (go with a lot of cash in your wallet if you dare).
 
-Write down a list of boundaries you have, and the consecuences when somebody crosses them.
Spend a full day contemplating and introspecting on that.
 
-You propably aren’t psycho enough.
Go 10% more psycho. Care less about what people think. You still will be caring too much anyways.
Satisfy your needs.

-Pump your chest like a Silverback Gorilla. Hard! Moan.
-Look at yourself in the mirror and bark like a fucking pitbull!
Feel the animal energy moving through your body.
Awaken that savage energy within you.
 
-Ask yourself:
''Am I willing to die for something?’'
''If I have to give my life for a cause, what would it be?''
''For what cause will I go to jail, or fast for a full month?''
 
-
 
RED is not about doing illegal things, fighting people or even violence.       Is about ASSERTIVENESS.
It's about:
Are you willing to fight if necessary?
Are you afraid of confrontation or violence?
 
Take the example of Gandhi:
Is he red?
Of course not. His philosophy is non-violence.
But he had healthy red. 
-He wasn’t afraid of flirting with death, (he fasted for 3 weeks).
-He wasn’t afraid of taking a beating.
-He wasn’t afraid of spending time in jail (and maybe getting fucked in the ass)
 
If he hadn’t integrated healthy read, maybe he wouldn’t stick to his principles.
He had deep solid boundaries and wasn’t afraid of the consequences for sticking to them (deep suffering, death).
 
All of your cool nice little blue values mean shit if you are not willing to draw a line in the sand and deal with the consecuences

 
Another great example is David Deida.
He is a healthy green man. But listen when he talks about ravishing your woman. Thats healthy red integrated.
You can’t ravish a woman if you are not connected with that deep visceral passion.

Is that mix of:
Capacity for aggression / Being unapologetic about your dark desires   +   Deep love
Is like they say: Fuck her ass hard; and then read her poetry.
Red + Green 
This a hell of a combo. Dark gentleman.
This is what makes women fall deeply in love with you. Even ‘turquoise’ women love men with healthy red.

Coming back to TJ Reeves post that caused controversy talking about being Coral, and wanting to teach Leo about it.
He talked about Bruce Lee, Ido Portal or Laird Hamilton being coral (and he himself) because they put their physical life at risk.
Those guys are green with healthy red integrated.
Admirable, but not coral. 
An inspiration. For sure, but not sage levels.
Just healthy red integrated. ‘I don’t care about death’ attitude. Great healthy examples.
 
 
PROBLEMS with SKIPPING red

As I stated in my Purple post:
-You will become a laughable SJW
-You will become a sad lonely incel
-You will become a stage blue religious racist hating blacks and muslims
-You will become a slave of society, media, culture, your boss and your own emotions and impulses
 
Weak. No backbone. Scared.
Too much feminine compassion ('welcome refugees!', until they start raping and stabbing people in record numbers. Hello Sweden...)
Having climate anxiety. My God... what a bitch you are.
 
Ungrateful of your privileges.
You will moralize 'underveloped' people/cultures/countries, not understanding their situation, but thats because you were lucky enough for being born in a healthy family in a 1st world country.
You don't feel powerful, so you give shit to others.
 
 
Now, for a HEALTHIER integration, try the opposite of this macho-mindset I listed in the beginning.

-Wear pink.
-Do feminine practices like yoga, tai chi, qigong..
-Watch rom-coms without being insecure. Understand why women love this.
-Get in touch with 'feminine emotions'
-Go to ballet performances
-Do he chores with pink gloves.  
-Wear an apron for cooking
As Leo said in a video:
A man brings a man into whatever he is doing.
The activity doesnt define the man, the man defines de activity.

If you get this right... man, your life will be great.
 
 
FINAL WORDS:


Red is about:
 
-LESS FEAR.  MORE ACTION.  TAKING THE RISK.
Get your backpack over the fence.
 
Orange will make a strategy, but orange can get paralysis through analysis.
Red is this voice in your head : ‘dude you already read 10 books this month, you are a bitch, go outside and talk to 10 girls; or do 10 cold calls NOW!’.
Is that father talking to you. Is that masculine compassion.
Dont get too confortable.
Face reality!
Commit first, figure out later.
 
 
- START YOUR HERO'S JOURNEY.  INSPIRE people. CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY.
> Go watch Leo's video about the Hero's Journey.  BRUTAL video. (I watched it last week. Made me rethink my values and vision).
 
The thing is. The hero's journey starts with healthy red: 'fuck that. Lets go'!
You have to be willing to scape the tribe (purple). You have to be willing to die for the Holy Grail.
 
Nowadays, people go on a fake journey scaping the conforts of blue, and going into orange and some green.
Having casual sex, getting into a relationships, building a business, getting a 6pack, trying some drugs, traveling...  but that shit is EMPTY.


Without red, your vision is always going to be small.  Group-think infected.
The largest your vision, the higher the risk; the more healthy red you need.
Of course, you need blue and orange qualities, but first of all you need BALLS.  (Think of Gandhi)
And of course you also need green:
 
* Redirect that wild, aggressive energy into LOVE. * (Essence of healthy red from my POV)
With women.
With other men.
With your mission.
With the world.
With yourself.
 
Turn:
Fear into ACTION.
Logic into guts.
Passivity in to glory. 
Thinking into doing.
Safety into RISK.

You'll find the way.
 
Stop overthinking, stop theorizing, stop playing it safe.
Start fighting for a bigger cause. 
Be who you are, and let the chips fall where they may.
 
Redirect that wild aggressive energy into LOVE, and fill the world with it.
 
 
Much love

Start to value having money, over the things you can buy with it. Take pride and joy in seeing your savings go up. 
 
Read some finance books, look at your bank account more, set goals, never quit because it takes time and effort to change this. 

@Leo Gura There is only one video game that has ever influenced me on a deep existential level.
It is also perhaps the single most conscious piece of art/media that I have ever encountered.
The game is called Shadow of the Colossus, originally released for PS2 back in 2005 but now there is a graphic remake for PS4: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Colossus-PlayStation-4/dp/B071WPKD5P?th=1
I can not recommend it enough. Though I cannot say much without spoiling the brilliant ending, I will say that it explores devilry (precisely as described in your video: what is the devil?) like no other work of art has.
The very fact that Shadow of the Colossus is a video game (where one takes control of a character and is responsible for their actions) allows for its exploration of devilry. The narrative impact would not be anywhere near as powerful if this were a movie, for example.
Furthermore, the game has a rare simplicity and serenity. It consists of 16 back-to-back boss fights (no mobs) and breathtaking scenery.
It's also rather short. You can probably complete it in ~10+ hours.
If you ever play a video game in your life ever again, Leo, remember this! 

STAGE TURQUOISE METAPHYSICS VERSUS STAGE CORAL METAPHYSICS 
(1) Turquoise sees Non-duality as the Universe acting and speaking through all of its parts, as if all the parts are a conduit of the Universe a.k.a. one giant Mind.  In contrast, Coral sees Non-duality as what is literally real, which is the true Self a.k.a. God Awareness but excludes Maya a.k.a. Thought and Experience from what is real because Maya is a literal illusion.
(2) Turquoise tends to think of Consciousness or its rough synonym 'the Universe' as being a container that contains everything that Turquoise wants to exist in reality.  In contrast, Coral is very literal in how they look at reality and realizes the only thing that exists is God Awareness, and God Awareness exists alone because all Thought and Experience a.k.a. Maya are a literal illusion.
(3) Turquoise tends to think of God or 'Absolute Infinity' as they might call it as the 'full magnitude of everything that exists'.  In contrast, Coral realizes that Absolute Infinity is Maya and that the only thing that exists is the true Self a.k.a. God Awareness.
(4) Turquoise tends to equate Ego with the Egoic self, and tends to think of Ego as drawing a boundary in Experience.  In contrast, Coral sees Ego as God Awareness forgetting who He is and becoming embedded in or distracted within Thought and/or Experience a.k.a. Maya.
(5) Turquoise tends to think of Non-duality as everything losing all boundaries and becoming Oneness.  In contrast, Coral tends to think of Non-duality as God Awareness being fully conscious of who He is and that all Maya a.k.a. Thought and Experience is a literal illusion.
(6) Turquoise makes room in their metaphysics for perspectives of other beings and for themselves as a perspective within a Network of Perspectives.  In contrast, Coral realizes that there's only one perspective that exists in reality, and that's the perspective of God Awareness a.k.a. the true Self.
(7) Turquoise tends to cling to a life purpose aiming to help other people in truth-leaning ways and/or to change the world for the better in some manner.  In contrast, although Coral does teach on occasion; rather than cling to an external Life Purpose, Coral is mostly focused internally on addressing their own Macro-Level Actual Problem Situations with their time.
