Blog 246 – Embody King Energy

Each morning I have cultivated the habit of rising and studying and writing.  I do this to exercise my mind, open myself up to good ideas, and “get my mind right” a la Cool Hand Luke.

As mentioned in yesterday’s blog I am currently delving into Jungian archetypes for mature males.  There are four: King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover.

I my meditation this morning, and throughout the day, I will focus on embodying the following “King”characteristics/mindset. Bring calm, integrity and life force. Create order and embody order.  Ameliorate suffering, give appreciation, and know that my purpose is to serve my kingdom (household), minimize punishment and maximize praise, while manifesting a healthy environment.

Focus on living out my values and providing example while being open to feedback, having no need for receiving praise.

Today I will focus on manifest the eternal and ancient King energy.

The piece emphasizes that true spiritual repetition helps us return to core values and shapes our character, rather than being a means to earn God’s attention.

Present bias is the tendency to favor immediate rewards over larger, delayed benefits. This behavior can become habit-strengthened through repetition, making immediate choices feel automatic and future-oriented choices more difficult. Understanding this self-reinforcing loop is key to overcoming it.

Day 302 – Avoid the False Choice

The concept of a ‘false choice’ or ‘forced choice’ is a rhetorical maneuver designed to manipulate individuals into selecting a preferred option, often leading to a loss regardless of the decision. This idea, deeply explored by Jacques Lacan, highlights how seemingly genuine choices can be illusory, forcing individuals to compromise something essential. Recognizing and avoiding these false dilemmas is crucial to maintaining control and preventing unnecessary losses.
