88 - Self Actualizing Man (SAM)

Today I want to talk about self actualized people. More specifically self actualized men. Being this way allows us to enjoy our lives free of guilt and shame. We see the world more rationally and logically then then others. And many men going their own way are self-actualized. So what does it being self actualized mean? The most important thing is that such individuals have an efficient perception of reality. We see it for what it is in as much of an unbiased way as possible and not fixated on what others think of him and yet he is strongly focused on problems outside of himself. According to Abraham Maslow the creator of Maslow's hierarchy of needs once self actualized men attain this status they start to seek out peak experiences. This can Explain why Nikola Tesla, Arthur Schopenhauer and Isaac Newton would seek out knowledge but not women. They were seeking out new peak experiences and I finally think I understand why they were motivated to work and succeed outside the need to impress females. Once you have one relationship you understand that they are predominantly the same. So instead of falling into that trap over and over again you seek out new and life altering experiences over and over again. According to Maslow a peak experience is "Feelings of limitless horizons opening up to the vision, the feeling of being simultaneously more powerful and also more helpless than one ever was before, the feeling of ecstasy and wonder and awe, the loss of placement in time and space with, finally, the conviction that something extremely important and valuable had happened, so that the subject was to some extent transformed and strengthened even in his daily life by such experiences." More interesting things about self actualized people is that their motivation comes from within and they can be both introverted and extroverted. This is something that I can related to. When I was younger and co-dependent on women I couldn't stand to spend too much time by myself. I enjoyed my own company but after a few days I would feel like a indoor house-cat and almost literally start scratching the walls. But today I feel like I can function well in both modes. I can spend weeks working alone on my videos with limited human interaction or I can go out and spend day after day working with different people. My emotion state no longer depends on the external validation or rejection of other people. I find fulfillment from within.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
