Masculinity

[Cathal]

Does anyone have any sources where I can understand how to intergrate/tap into my masculinity?

It is heavily repressed. Basically as a kid saw my Dad for a angry/regret ridden tyrant and said I will never be like that.

But I suppressed my aggression and abillity to stand up for myself, let everyone bully me, I was so enmeshed i've never in my life built a stable identity.

I kind of feel like a broken child and I work mainly on the inner child stuff, but the shadow or as I describe it to myself my very imbalanced masculine energy that I want to express/feel/understand.

Any of that stuff spark any authors/videos etc I could look at ? thx

It sounds like we have a similar childhood. I got bullied for years on end.

Jad T Jones is pretty high integrity and a good source. Here's a few videos to start with.

And my personal favorite:

The things you’ve come to believe will make you like him, will not. They will set you free. They will center the pendulum. They will bring deep emotional equanimity & great expansion. 

Three things which require zero talent or experience; high energy, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic.

If you’ve never tried so hard and gotten so angry that you’ve punched a hole through the wall, you just ain’t livin.

There are no stages in meditation, and no one meditating. ?‍♀️

You're not going to learn how to become a man from a few YouTube videos. It takes a lot of pain to understand what it means to be a man.
