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 exist between the second and third primal realms. The second primal realm is the merciless realm of Conquest. This highly charged realm represents the heart of the male mind, receiving its energy from the Sun’s nuclear core. Men governed by this volatile realm are bound to very powerful universal principles and codes of conduct that they must follow here on earth and make sure others follow 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 constellation Orion. Male Mindsets governed by this wise yet mysterious realm are able to sense what the Gods know and apply that wisdom to the multitudes here on earth. They are also bestowed a very 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. Either way, what all Level 4s have in common is that they see the larger picture and will stay true to their path towards it 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, prophets or 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 is not 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. These two powerful realms relay their divine communications to the environment here on earth for male beings connected to the realms to receive and follow. This is why Level 4s, same as most male Mindsets, must maintain an active connection to the environment around them in order to feel productive.

The second primal realm of Conquest must be satisfied first because gaining respect and acquiring other primal necessities is more of a primal need 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 and remain focused on the larger picture. This is why Level 4s will usually become the leader of these groups or eventually break away from them in order to seek out a more enlightened path towards similar or completely different goals.

Once a Level 4 has satisfied the second primal realm of Conquest with acts of courage, the more dominant third primal realm of Enlightenment begins taking over, compelling these Mindsets to apply their intelligence and courage to their vision.

Level 4s do have the discipline and intelligence to do well in school, acquire a degree and bring their vision to life through academics. However, the slow pace and structure of higher learning can clash with their strong vision and obsessive need to bring their powerful ideas to life immediately. So if a college education isn’t necessary to further their ideas, they will likely pursue them without one.

These Mindsets prefer professions that allow them the freedom and control to bring their vision to life their way and are known for taking risks and following their vision off the beaten path. But their stubbornness and risk taking can also place them on paths that do not lead to wealth or prosperity. However, so long as these Level 4s are able to stay true to their beliefs and principles, they can be quite content living without the finer things in 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.

The more the realm of Conquest governs a Level 4, the more likely he is to apply these qualities to illicit street activity and or athletics. Such a Street Level 4 is usually the leader in the locker room and mastermind behind any street activity he takes part in.

The more the realm of Enlightenment governs a Level 4, the more likely he is to pursue paths towards further enlightening himself and eventually others. These paths are usually spiritual in nature. This type of Spiritual Level 4 can evolve into a highly followed and, in some instances, controversial religious figure or activist.

If these two very powerful realms are balanced, then this Mindset is more even-keeled. This type of Creative Level 4 will likely develop a very creative and often times provocative voice that he will likely apply to music, film, architecture, literature, visual or performing arts.

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 he struggles to let go of old habits. 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 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 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”.

View of women: Level 4s are not monogamous by nature, although they can embrace monogamy as they get older, especially should they enter the Ascent. Despite this, they don’t look down on women as tends to be the case with a Level 3 Mindset. In fact, Level 4s tend to have a great deal of respect for women even if their lifestyle suggests otherwise.

Level 4s tend to have a way with women and know how to apply their acute view, charisma and intellect to compel women to do things for them willingly, whereas male Mindsets with no connection to the third and final realm of Enlightenment may rely on intimidation, lies or their wealth.

Religion: Level 4s have a very powerful connection to the area of the universe responsible for inspiring earthly religions. But what ultimately determines their view on religion is where they’re at between the two primal realms. Those Level 4s with a greater connection to the second primal realm of Conquest, who apply their powerful vision to the streets, typically believe in a higher power despite committing crimes and acts of violence which suggest otherwise. This is likely because they were raised to believe in a higher power, but when they reached adolescence, their quest for power, respect and survival took over and became their governing influence by the time they entered adulthood. Those balanced Level 4s who are influenced equally by the second primal realm of Conquest and the third primal realm of Enlightenment, who apply their vision and voice creatively to the visual or performing arts, these are your more complex thinkers. These Level 4s can’t seem to get past the flaws that they see in religion. Therefore, most either denounce religion altogether or won’t allow it to interfere with their flamboyant lifestyle. Those Level 4s with a greater connection to the third primal realm of Enlightenment, as you can imagine, are the most spiritual. Their powerful connection to the source of spiritual energy allows them to see beyond what religion has become here on earth and understand what it was meant to be. For this reason, these Level 4s tend not to subscribe to modern day religions, finding them to be too watered down and impure. Instead, they tend to embrace old-school doctrines that most find to be archaic and extreme. They may also take obscure religious texts from antiquity and use it to form their own religious sect or cult.

Brain vs. Mind: Unlike most other male Mindsets who can only manage to excel in one of these areas at best, a Level 4 has an exceptional amount of brain function (intelligence) and mind energy (connection to the universe). The realms of Conquest and Enlightenment collectively provide this Mindset with a very powerful connection to the universe, which is the mind. The fact that this Mindset is receiving divine communications from both realms is what makes him a very strong-minded male Mindset.

But it is the realm of Enlightenment that is almost solely responsible for this Mindset also having exceptional brain function (intelligence). This is because the realm of Enlightenment provides all Mindsets connected to it with an insatiable appetite for knowledge and wisdom in order to maintain an enlightened path and stay true to the realm. This craving for knowledge and wisdom requires a high level of brain function. So if you are looking for a man who is intelligent and strong-minded, then a Level 4 is the man for you.

Strength of conversation: A Level 4s partial connection to the second primal realm of Conquest puts strength and conviction in his voice and binds him to powerful principles and codes of conduct that he conveys in his conversations. His partial connection to the third primal realm of Enlightenment gives him a view of life and the world that stretches far beyond what most can see on their own. This divine realm of Enlightenment also bestows this Mindset insight and perspective to help make sense of what most people find confusing about life.

Level 4s communicate more like a therapist and have a tendency to ask a lot of questions. However, rarely are these questions random. More often than not, this Mindset already has an idea formed in his mind of what the female is really about, which is based on his acute perception. His questions peel away inconsistencies, walls, boundaries and lies to expose fears, fetishes and pain that, as it turns out, were begging to come out. This Mindset’s conversation also has the ability to make sense of whatever he has unearthed in a woman’s mind.

This is because a Level 4 sees beyond the facades of what women look like, do or say, and into a dark inner world where the real them may be searching for answers that faith, career or an education cannot provide. A Level 4s conversation offers hope, strength and inspiration to those in need of guidance.

Concepts: When the realms of Conquest and Enlightenment combine, the Mindset they create can seem complex to say the least. This is because the realm of Enlightenment governs all things of a higher consciousness, such as perception, the ability to reason and spirituality, leaving the more primal aspects of the Mindset, such as heart, courage and sexual desires, to the realm of Conquest.

Because of this, Level 4s tend to have very traditional moral compasses, except for when it comes to sex, women and relationships. Therefore, these Mindsets do tend to embrace many of the positive concepts that govern western perception, such as family, children and fatherhood. However, their views on marriage and monogamy can be kind of out there.

Level 4s can take great issue with some authoritative concepts that may clash with their political viewpoints, spiritual beliefs or flamboyant lifestyle, such as the police officer, the government or religion. This Mindset can definitely be a rebel with a cause if his core beliefs are threatened. However, he is not an antisocial as tends to be the case with the Level 3 Mindset.

Principles and codes of conduct: A primary function of the second primal realm of Conquest is to enforce the laws of the universe here on earth by way of the male Mindsets connected to the realm. To ensure that this process is not compromised, Level 4s are bound to strict principles and codes of conduct to keep them true to these universal laws and to ensure that they help others abide by them as well.

However, because Level 4s also have a connection to the third realm of Enlightenment, they take these principles and codes of conduct to a much higher level. Rather than simply imposing them with brute force (as tends to be the case with many Level 3 Mindsets), Level 4s incorporate these principles and codes of conduct into sound philosophy that can be far more appealing to a much broader audience. In a relationship, this powerful combination of backbone and philosophy is what makes it so difficult for most women to resist a Level 4’s will.

Relationship strengths: If a female wants a man who can see past her beauty and profession and find the real her, then a Level 4 is the man for her. If she wants to grow mentally or acquire a deeper understanding of herself or life in general then a Level 4 is an ideal Mindset.

This male Mindset is very confident and knows himself inside and out, which can create a solid foundation for a long-lasting relationship. If he is successful at his endeavors he will show his woman the world and will provide her with a lifestyle more exciting than most. Of all the male Mindsets, a Level 4 is most likely to be above average in the categories of intelligence, bravery and sex. If his finances are in order, he is a stable provider, dependable mate and great father.

Relationship weaknesses: This Mindset is a sucker for a woman who seems genuinely fascinated by his ideas. If she can accept his risqué lifestyle and not completely succumb to his powerful mind, she will eventually gain his respect and trust, and as he gets older and settles down, quite possibly the keys to whatever empire he builds.

Although a Level 4 can love one woman, he is not monogamous when it comes to sex (although he can become monogamous with age). He is also very good at convincing his woman to accept is promiscuity and other faults.

Ideal woman: A Level 4 likes to express his ideas, which can be rather exotic at times, and needs a woman to be open-minded and a good listener. She should also be attracted to men who are bold, creative and not afraid of taking risks. She must also be outgoing and sexually open-minded.

She should be willing and patient but mentally strong. She should also enjoy her space because this Mindset definitely enjoys his. A Level 4 adores a woman who can help him learn more about himself and accepts his imperfections as he grows to be stronger.

A Level 4 and sex: This male Mindset likes to be in control in the bedroom and leaves little room when it comes to his sexual likes and dislikes. However, he also enjoys pleasing his woman and learning her body. He’s a good teacher in the bedroom and enjoys pushing a female’s sexual boundaries and taking her to sexual depths never experienced before. A Level 4 is generally good in bed but can be indifferent when it comes to exceeding his normal level of performance to please a woman. This can be especially true as he gets older. Many women can find themselves sexually stimulated by a Level 4’s mind even if his sexual performance is sub-par.

After sex: After a Level 4 has been satisfied, the realm of Conquest, which governs his sex drive, gives way to the realm of Enlightenment, which fuels his powerful thoughts and ideas. When this happens, a Level 4’s thoughts and ideas become exceptionally clear and resounding, compelling him to dial into them. There will be times when he will want to share these thoughts and ideas with his woman, so she should be prepared to listen and hopefully offer some sort of feedback. There will also be times when he will want to dial into his thoughts and ideas in solitude. When this is the case, he may leave abruptly or can seem somewhat distant and can stay in this solitary shell for a few days. So his woman must be patient, trusting and secure in herself and the relationship.

Dark side of the Level 4: Once you have experienced a relationship with a Level 4, it can be difficult going back to dating weaker-minded Mindsets, which can compel you do go back to him. This Mindset’s powerful view can cause a female to lose sight of who she is and become whatever he needs her to be to fulfill his agendas.

Generally speaking, those Level 4s with a greater connection to the realm of Conquest can see nothing wrong with exploiting a female’s sexuality for pleasure and profit and may attempt to do so. Once he gets a woman to give in completely and do all that he wants her to do (sexually and otherwise) he can become bored with her and crave a new mind to unravel.

A Level 4 is quite capable of breaking the law to bring his vision to life, which can land him in prison and crumble whatever empire he has built for his woman and their family.
