CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE

The Level 2 Mindset exist between the first and second primal realms. The first primal realm is the realm of Fear. This dark and foreboding realm exist in an area of interstellar space that is beyond the divine communication of the stars. Male Mindsets bound to this realm have difficulty acquiring a higher consciousness. They also struggle with reading people accurately on a primal level, especially women. Their strong suit however is brain function (intelligence), discipline, structure and drive.

The second primal realm is the merciless realm of Conquest. This realm receives its energy from the Sun’s nuclear core. Male Mindsets governed by this volatile realm are bound to very powerful universal principles and codes of conduct designed to keep them true to the laws of the universe here on earth. They are also bestowed inner confidence and the ability to sense and interpret primal energy in others. However, they also tend to be ruthless and reckless individuals who like to take risks and challenge authority.

Level 2s inherit traits from both realms. Since their connection to each realm is partial, the traits they inherit aren’t as powerful as they would be if the connections were pure. Personality and level of confidence varies greatly with these Mindsets depending on which of the two realms governs them the most.

But what all Level 2s have in common is the need to free themselves of the realm of Fear so that they may enjoy a greater connection with the realm of Conquest. Therefore, Level 2’s can be cocky, adventurous and driven. However, they can also be underachievers, unreliable and followers of the more dominant male Mindsets.

Level 2s in antiquity: Historically, Level 2 Mindsets served a variety of functions. They were the builders and laborers who erected the temples and monuments dedicated to the deity of the day. They were the sculptors and artisans who decorated the halls of the temples. They were the gladiators who battled criminals, ferocious animals and other gladiators for sport and glory. They also were the soldiers who went to war to further the truth, protect and expand territory.

Today’s Level 2 Mindset: A Level 2 Mindset can be very difficult to read or get. He may begin pursuing one goal or dream passionately only to switch to something completely different (especially early in life) as the two realms battle for control. These male Mindsets can also spend periods in life where they don’t know exactly what they want to do. However, under the right type of guidance and influences, these Mindsets can end up being very productive and successful in life.

Level 2s can do well academically, but they prefer learning by way of life experiences and journeys more so than books and college. This is especially the case when these life experiences and journeys test their courage, willpower and fortitude. These experiences or journeys are usually physical in nature but can also be mental.

Around puberty is when the powerful realm of Conquest begins taking over, compelling these Mindsets to challenge their fear of the unknown in order to acquire a greater connection with the realm. Learning facts, figures, science or technology in a classroom will not satisfy this realm. Satisfying the realm can only be accomplished somewhere out in the environment by interacting and competing with (battling) other male Mindsets on a similar primal quest.

This is why many Level 2s begin finding structured education unfulfilling at the junior high or high school level and why many begin choosing sports, the arts or the streets as an alternative.

Even as adults, Level 2s must maintain an active connection to the universe by way of the environment around them to satisfy the realm of Conquest and feel productive. This is why these Mindsets are more at home working outdoors or with their hands rather than in an office or in front of a computer. This also explains why Level 2’s are more likely to adopt a trade or develop a talent rather than seek out a career that requires an extensive college education.

Level 2s also prefer professions that test their physical attributes, courage or creativity, such as construction, manufacturing, culinary, mechanical, the arts & entertainment, law enforcement, the military or professional sports.

On the cusp: How a Level 2 attempts to break free of the realm of Fear to enjoy a greater connection with the realm of Conquest depends a lot on which realm has the most control.

The more the second primal realm of Conquest governs a Level 2, the more primal courage he will have. This type of Level 2 will rely on acts that test his raw physical abilities and courage, such as sports, the streets, the outdoors, extreme sports or physical combat to connect. This type of Level 2 has less to prove in everyday life but is quick to react if disrespected.

The more the first primal realm of the Fear governs him, the less primal courage he will have and the more he will rely on his intelligence and information to feel a greater connection. This type of Level 2 can excel in sports but does much better in academics. He can also be quick (in some instances, too quick) to express his opinions and viewpoints. Although his deep connection to the first primal realm of Fear typically keeps him out of the streets, this type of Level 2 may attempt to project a tough guy image to appear manlier in certain situations.

When the two realms are more or less balanced then this Mindset is more even keeled. This type of Level 2 is more prone to seek out a deeper spiritual connection. He can also embrace nature, the outdoors, thrill seeking or journeys that help others while testing his mental and physical fortitude. A balanced Level 2 also has good intelligence and tends to be very creative. He can be very successful in business, medicine or the arts & entertainment.

Religion: Most Level 2s are more prone to follow traditional religious or spiritual paths than nontraditional ones. However, this Mindset can become so preoccupied with his quest to challenge himself physically or find his niche in life that religion can take a second stage. Although Level 2s overall are not the most religious male Mindset (at least as it relates to frequenting a church or synagogue), they do tend to believe in a higher power. Those of them who are successful in their professional and personal life or reared in a religious household tend to embrace religion more so.

This Mindset’s quest to acquire a deeper connection to the realm of Conquest can also make him open to darker, more radical religious or political viewpoints ministered by more dominant male Mindsets. This is especially the case for those Level 2s who are not successful in their professional or personal lives.

Dark relationship advice on the Level 2 and religion: Try not to push religion on this Mindset too hard if he is not ready. Instead, be patient. With this Mindset (particularly when he is young) you just have to bide your time and wait until he has hit his learning curve out in the streets or otherwise before he will fully commit to walking a religious or spiritual path. But it is in him to do so.

View of women: To hear some Level 2’s talk about women, you would think that they are womanizers. However, in all actuality, a Level 2 Mindset prefers being with one woman. This has a lot to do with his partial connection to the first primal realm of Fear, which tames many of the primal desires that controls those male Mindsets with a pure connection to the second primal realm of Conquest.

As such, Level 2s see women as being on their same basic level, and can learn from their woman as much as they can teach her. But his woman must be strong-minded and able to help guide him down the right paths, especially if he is at a stage in his life where his future seems uncertain. If she just goes with the flow and allows him to make all of his own decisions without any input from her then his friends who are of a more dominant Mindset can compel him to take unnecessary risks as a way of establishing a deeper connection with the realm of Conquest.

Brain vs. Mind: It’s not correct to say that Level 2s are not intelligent. However, it is correct to say that many don’t take full advantage of the brain function (intelligence) they possess. This has a lot to do with their preoccupation with satisfying the second primal realm of Conquest. Satisfying this chaotic realm through sports, the outdoors, the streets or whatever they may be into is far more desirable to most Level 2s than structured education.

All and all, most Level 2s are of average mind energy (connection to the universe) and average brain function (intelligence). However, and once again, the more this Mindset is governed by the realm of Conquest, the more mind energy (the universe) he can tap into. And the more he is governed by the realm of Fear, the more brain function (intelligence) he will be able to utilize.

Strength of conversation: This Mindset’s conversation is based primarily on how his manliness plays out via whatever he’s into. Depending on where he is at between the two realms that can be sports, the outdoors or the streets to career, academics, spirituality or life in general. Initially, most Level 2s have a tendency to project some toughness in their conversation. But once they get comfortable, a very, caring, candid and comical side comes out.

This Mindset notices contradictions in a female’s story and is not afraid to point them out and can walk away from a female he feels is not being honest. This strength of conversation is usually good enough to penetrate the average female’s façade. However, what his conversation is unable to do is discern exactly what lies beneath the façade.

This is because the first primal realm of Fear acts like a cloud disturbing the signal being sent from the second primal realm of Conquest explaining primal energy in others. The information hidden beneath a woman’s façade explaining the real her is comprised of primal energy. So while his conversation is strong enough to peel back the average woman’s façade, his cloudy inner-vision prevents him from discerning all that lies beneath accurately.

Even though this Mindset has confidence, it’s not on the level necessary to look a female in the eyes and ask the deep, penetrating and, in some instances, offensive questions necessary to force these dark secrets to the surface. Therefore, unless a Level 2 has developed stronger conversational skills by listening to how his friends of a more dominant Mindset converse with women, he needs a female with a lot on her mind to volunteer this information to him. Great sex is another method by which a Level 2 can force these dark truths to the surface. A Level 2 who is not good in bed will have difficulties unearthing all the secrets that a strong-minded female may have with his conversation alone.

Concepts: Despite their often rough or flamboyant exteriors, Level 2s do embrace many of the positive concepts that are necessary to maintain a strong relationship, such as love, marriage, family, fatherhood and children. If a concept can help them feel found or stay grounded, they will likely subscribe to it.

However, many Level 2s—especially those with the strongest connection to the realm of Conquest—can have a problem with authority concepts, such as the police officer. This is because these concepts are thought to hinder their primal quest to satisfy the realm of Conquest out in the streets. However, similar to a Level 1 Mindset (but not as much), a Level 2 can become more accepting of  these western concepts to appease the woman he loves.

Principles and codes of conduct: Level 2 Mindsets have a partial connection to the second primal realm of Conquest. This merciless realm binds male Mindsets with a connection to the realm to an intricate network of universal principles and codes of conduct that they must apply here on earth. Level 2s are also able to adopt many earthly principles and codes of conduct that they learn through their upbringing, faith, education, military service and career. These earthly principles and codes of conduct are very harmonious with today’s relationship dynamic. Ideally, what you can get is a man who is sound in all major facets of his life, whether it be career, home or even the streets.

A Level 2s partial connection to the first primal realm of Fear prevents him from interpreting many of the darker universal principles and codes of conduct accurately. Because of this cloudy view, Level 2s are susceptible to the guidance offered by more dominant male Mindset friends who see these dark universal principles and codes of conduct clearly. Some Level 2s can also seek clarity in their intimate relationships with female Mindsets who have a clearer view of them. While this is fine should these people have a Level 2’s best interest at heart, trusting the wrong crowd can steer some Level 2s down some paths that they were not built to traverse.

Therefore, Level 2s, especially those who choose the streets as a way of satisfying the realm of Conquest, must choose their woman and inner circle very wisely.

Relationship strengths: If a Level 2 is successful in a career, he is a favorite among male Mindsets to take home and meet the parents. Even if he simply has a steady job that he enjoys he is highly prone to be a stable provider and good family man.

Of all the male Mindsets, a Level 2 is most likely to be willing and able to please his woman in the bedroom. If you’re looking for a man who is manly yet not afraid to express his softer side, then a Level 2 is a great choice. A Level 2 will risk his life to protect his woman’s welfare and honor.

This Mindset embraces many of the positive concepts necessary for a successful relationship, such as love, marriage, fatherhood and family. A level 2 would much rather be in a serious relationship than play the field.

Relationship weaknesses: This Mindset can place his quest to establish a purer connection to the realm of Conquest on a higher plane than his relationships. He can also find himself torn between his friendships with more dominant male Mindsets and his relationship with his woman. A Level 2 can be naïve in his relationships and can begin trusting a woman he really likes prematurely.

Level 2’s that are governed more so by the realm of Conquest can project their manliness rather recklessly at times, especially to protect or impress a woman, and are vulnerable to females who realize this weakness and like to play on it. If a female can establish trust with him and prevent stronger male Mindsets from influencing him, she can literally place his quest to feel manlier in the palm of her hand to wile to her own end.

Ideal woman: This Mindset is a perfect match for a woman who’s attracted to boldness in a man but isn’t looking to be beaten or prostituted. She must be strong-minded and able to help guide him down the right paths out in the world or the streets and, in some instances, take the lead.

It is also important that she is on his same page with his goals, hobbies or aspirations. This Mindset thrives when his woman is into what he is passionate about or at least supportive of his endeavors.

Dark relationship advice on the Level 2 and his ideal woman: This Mindset likely has one or more friends of a more dominant Mindset who are trying to take him down paths that may be detrimental to a relationship as they attempt to teach him how to become more dominant. To help combat this, learn as much as you can about this Mindset’s friends, especially the ringleader. If they are collectively into something illicit, explain to him why these stronger Mindset friends may eventually sacrifice him should they all get in over their heads.

This argument may be difficult to win since these friends are likely telling him that the real problem is you. If this is the case, then it might be wise to walk away from the relationship.

This Mindset and sex: No male Mindset is more eager and able to satisfy his woman sexually than a Level 2. He has enough manliness to push his woman’s sexual boundaries and take her to exceptional sexual depths. Yet, he’s loving and kind enough to respect and cherish her even during her most vulnerable sexual moments.

A Level 2 Mindset will tell you that he’s not into dominant or controlling women but it doesn’t always seem that way, especially in the bedroom. This Mindset will give in a little sexually with the right woman. This can include experimenting with her, roleplay or allowing her to be in control. Just don’t expect this Mindset to be too submissive in the bedroom. One thing a Level 2 will not do is sacrifice his manhood to please his woman.

After sex: After stellar sex, a Level 2 is usually eager to peel away his rough exterior and enjoy his sensitive side with his woman. This side is comical, compassionate and an open book. When this side comes out, it’s a golden opportunity to put good interviewing and listening skills to work and learn as much as you can about who this man truly is deep down inside. This can include what his real goals and aspirations are, fears and concerns. Chances are his friends are not aware of this softer side of him. By learning this side for yourself and helping to nurture it, you will create a bond that very few people can break.

Other times however, after good sex this Mindset will crave a deeper connection to the realm of Conquest. When this is the case, he will likely want to participate in whatever activities he normally participates in to feel that deeper connection. That can be a hobby, a sport or the streets. Not only will understanding and nurturing both sides of a Level 2 give you an edge over his friend’s influence over him, but it can also provide you with a coy position of dominance within the relationship.

Dark side of the Level 2: If a Level 2 is not financially stable or allowed to be influenced by more dominant male Mindsets, he can adopt their darker perspectives on life and women, which can lead to cheating, abuse and exploitation.

Some Level 2’s can resort to exaggerating or lying about their exploits as a safe way of projecting a manly façade without having to prove it. If these occasional lies and exaggerations are successful, in rare instances, they can become habitual. Over time, this can lead to friendships with more dominant male Mindsets who may expect him to commit acts that live up to his accounts of himself.

This is when this Mindset tends to get into trouble. Once his web of deceit caves in, there is no telling what some Level 2s may do to save face. There is also no telling what these more dominant male Mindsets will do upon finding out that a Level 2 deceived them.
