Male Mindset: Level 4

Hugh Hefner was an American magazine publisher. He was the founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine, a publication with revealing photographs and articles which provoked charges of obscenity. The first issue of Playboy was published in 1953 featuring Marilyn Monroe in a nude calendar shoot; it sold over 50,000 copies. Hefner extended the Playboy brand into a world network of Playboy Clubs. He also resided in luxury mansions where Playboy “playmates” shared his wild partying life, fueling keen media interest. He was an advocate of “sexual liberation” and “freedom of expression”. He attended Sayre Elementary School and Steinmetz High School, then served from 1944 to 1946 as a U.S. Army writer for a military newspaper. Hefner graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1949 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a double minor in Creative Writing and Art, having earned his degree in two and a half years. After graduation, he took a semester of graduate courses in Sociology at Northwestern University, but dropped out soon after.

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz better known as Malcolm X, was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who was a popular figure during the civil rights movement. He is best known for his staunch and controversial black racial advocacy, and for time spent as the vocal spokesperson of the Nation of Islam. Born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, he relocated to New York City in 1943, following spells at a series of foster homes after his father’s death and his mother’s hospitalization. There, Malcolm X engaged in several illicit activities, eventually being sentenced to ten years in prison in 1946 for larceny and breaking and entering. In prison, he joined the Nation of Islam, adopted the name Malcolm X, and quickly became one of the organization’s most influential leaders after being paroled in 1952. Malcolm X then served as the public face of the organization for a dozen years, where he advocated for black supremacy, black empowerment, the separation of black and white Americans.

CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE

Level 4 Mindsets are governed by the second and third primal realms. The second primal realm is the merciless realm of Conquest. Male Mindsets powered by this highly charged realm are able to retrieve a bounty of dark, cosmic energy that their strong minds can then transform into the entire network of dark and indifferent, cosmic principles and codes of conduct that they must abide by here on earth, while also making sure that others follow them as well. They are also bestowed a significant amount of confidence, courage and the ability to sense primal energy (or the lack there of) in others.

The third primal realm is the final realm of Enlightenment. This divine realm is literally the realm of the Gods, receiving its energy from the star Sigi Tolo (Sirius). Male Mindsets governed by this wise yet mysterious realm have acute vision and can sense what the Gods know and apply that wisdom to the multitudes here on earth. They are also bestowed a very heightened intellect, a powerful spirit of discernment and Godlike energy (charisma), compelling others to follow them.

Male Mindsets governed by both realms have vision, a very powerful voice, courage, principles and confidence and can apply these qualities on a very broad scale.

The more a Level 4 is governed by the realm of Enlightenment, the more spiritual his endeavors will be. The more he is governed by the realm of Conquest, the more secular these endeavors will be. But what all Level 4s have in common is that they see the larger picture and will stay true to its path at all cost. This makes a Level 4 brave, innovative and a leader of other Mindsets. But he can also be uncompromising, defiant and very controversial.

Level 4s in Antiquity: historically, Level 4 Mindsets explained the laws of the universe to the masses and led campaigns that enforced its will on earth. They were the generals, Pharaohs, prophets and Magi of the ancient world. They were also the gladiators who battled criminals, ferocious animals and other gladiators for sport.

Today’s Level 4 Mindset: Level 4 Mindsets must follow their vision and will not be content on any path that isn’t harmonious with that. This need fuels their drive.

Right around puberty is when the realms of Conquest and Enlightenment begin taking over, compelling these Mindsets to embark on their primal journey to satisfy the realms here on earth. This is when many Level 4s begin finding structured education unfulfilling.

Fortunately, part of a Level 4s larger picture is continuing with school despite any lack of interest, acquiring a degree and bringing his ideas to life with the help of academics. However, if an advanced degree isn’t necessary to further his ideas, he will likely pursue them without one.

The second primal realm of Conquest must be satisfied first because gaining respect and acquiring other primal necessities is more important to the male being than being enlightened. Therefore, many Level 4s may begin their young lives out in the streets alongside less enlightened male Mindsets committing the same primitive acts of courage.

The third primal realm of Enlightenment may not be dominant at this point, but it’s still very active, forcing these Level 4s to tap into their intelligence while remaining focused on the larger picture. This is why Level 4s will usually become the leader of these groups.

Once a Level 4 has satisfied the second primal realm of Conquest by acquiring money, authority, respect and women, the more dominant, third primal realm of Enlightenment begins taking over, compelling him to apply his courage, vision, clout and followers to greater, more enlightened socioeconomic endeavors. It’s at this juncture in a Level 4s evolution that many friends, lovers and even family members who aren’t compatible with the next phase of his journey are excommunicated.

Those Level 4s fail to set the world on fire and work regular jobs. These Level 4s must maintain an active connection to the environment and nature to satisfy the realms and feel productive. This is why they prefer working outdoors or with their hands instead of behind a desk or with a lot of people. Although it is rare, their stubbornness and risk taking can also place them on paths that do not lead to financial stability. However, so long as these Level 4s are able to stay true to their beliefs and principles, they can be quite content living a mundane life.

On the cusp: These Mindsets can apply their courage and vision to a broad range of endeavors, depending on where they’re at between the two realms.

Street Level 4: when the realm of Conquest has more pull over a Level 4 than the realm of Enlightenment, he’s more likely to apply his courage, vision and voice to illicit street activity and or athletics. A Street Level 4 is usually the leader in the locker room and mastermind behind any street activity he takes part in.

Spiritual Level 4: when the realm of Enlightenment has the most pull over a Level 4, he tends to walk a more spiritual/religious path. A spiritual Level 4 seeks out mastery of his faith or belief system so that he may walk the purist of paths and teach others. It’s quite common for a spiritual Level 4 to become a leader of his faith and amass a flock of followers. A spiritual Level 4 can also evolve into a highly followed and, in some instances, controversial religious figure or activist.

Creative Level 4: when the realms of Conquest and Enlightenment have equal pull over a Level 4 then he is more even-keeled. He will also develop a very creative view and voice that can be both provocative and controversial. A creative Level 4 will likely apply his creative juices to music, film, architecture, literature, journalism, comedy, satire etc.

It’s not uncommon for a Level 4 to have more than one of these three personalities. He can be street and creative or creative and spiritual. Although it’s rare for a Level 4 to be street and spiritual, he can begin his journey as a street Level 4 and graduate into a more spiritual Level 4 later in life. He can even go back and forth between street and spiritual as the two realms battle for control. Regardless to the path these Mindsets take, they all have a high propensity to be leaders and trendsetters.

The Ascent: the ascent is an occurrence that takes place when the third primal realm of Enlightenment begins gaining more influence over a Level 4s outlook, changing it from that of a criminal or bully to that of a businessman and true leader. This is because the realm of Enlightenment is more powerful than the realm of Conquest. Therefore, even Level 4s with the greatest connection to the realm of Conquest can find themselves thinking on a higher level as they get older and enter the Ascent.

In many instances, this divine Ascent may not occur until the Level 4 is well into adulthood. Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon for a Level 4 to begin applying his talents to illicit street activities or sports and then, later in life, legitimate business endeavors and finally to enlightening the masses or philanthropy. This is why a Level 4 can evolve from a man who, according to ancient wisdom, “knows and know not that he knows” to a man who “knows and knows that he knows”.
