What is the transformative power of balancing masculine and feminine energies?
There's a huge divine feminine movement, and I'm absolutely in love with the feminine and revere and worship the feminine. And I also have critiques. What I see is there's this big movement to, I want to be the queen. Well, What does that really mean? I know God has a bad connotation for a lot of people who've had it jammed down their throat and a lot of rules and things that didn't make sense. I started my life as an atheist, but in 25 years of plant medicine, I have no doubt. I don't believe in God. I know God. So if you're living in the world and you're denying something that is true, and the fundamental nature of that truth that moves in you as you through you and beyond you, I don't think you can experience the real full spectrum of the healing.
There's going to be so much that you're going to leave off the table and your life just will not be nearly as rich.
Is there something that was revealed to you in a session and a journey that you're still integrating now?
The deepest truths are the hardest to actually abide by. Now, I have a formula to assess whether you're telling the truth or not.
Truth barometer?
Truth barometer. So here's the formula.
Welcome to the Healing and Human Potential podcast. Today's conversation is packed with juicy topics like feminine and masculine dynamics, the power of psychedelics and self-discovery, as well as giving you practical strategies to work through resistance. You asked for this guest and we have him here today, Aubrey Marcus, who's an entrepreneur and author and the founder of Onnit. We're gonna explore deeper truths revealed around relationships, entrepreneurship, and Aubrey shares some of his most profound lessons and insights that he's learned along the way. Let's dive into this highly requested conversation. I see you, Aubrey, as a man's man with the cigars and the weightlifting, the tattoos, and I see you as somebody who's deeply in touch with his feelings, has the courage to be vulnerable, which to me is just one expression of the healthy masculine. And I'm curious, how did you open? How did you start developing your emotional mastery as a man?
My mom. My mom has loved me unconditionally from the day I was born. And same with my grandma. And you talk about blessings or privileges or whatever, but to have a mom that loves you like my mom loves me, it's indescribable what that'll do for a man. She also had a well-developed masculine side of her own. She was a professional tennis player. went to the semifinals of Wimbledon, lost to Billie Jean King that year. So, she understands athletics, she understands being fierce and the dedication needed to get better. But on the other side, you know, no matter what, no matter where I went, what I did, how I felt, she just loved me literally unconditionally. And that's a word that people throw around, but until you experience it, it's just a fiction. But I've really gotten to live that and that's allowed a lot of my own feminine side to flourish.
Mm-hmm. Has that always been the case, or did you need to develop more relationship with your emotions as a man?
I think it set me up with a good foundation. And then, of course, all of the practices that I do, they unearth the truth of your feelings. So I've been on the psychonautic medicine path for 20, hell, 25 years. And in those 25 years, whether it's breathwork, which always brings the tears and emotions, or whether it's ayahuasca, or whether it's in the huachuma from the Chavin tradition, or bufo from the Siri tradition, or whatever the great traditions i've been working with these medicines really help open your heart and your feeling body because anything else is actually not who we are we are emotional beings and there's a place where it's important i think for the masculine to be able to bracket those emotions
Like, if things are going awry, you have to be able to just take decisive action and then feel what's necessary later. Like, if things come into, like, significant conflict, like, I was attacked with my fiancé at a time by four guys who surrounded my car, and it's not time for me to be emotional. At that point, it's time for me to fight.
