THE COLLECTIVE BODY: the world. the devil. the flesh.

Usually I get about one message, text, or email a week from either a stranger or friend seeking assistance in walking this path of unholy strength gains and achieving that desired physical transformation. Few things get me as excited then receiving these communications. Aside from my wife and my school studies this lifestyle is my passion. I am quick to help out anyone looking for direction. Even when I am busy as fuck and still carve out ten mins. to text bomb them everything I can say that will help. I then point them to my blog for deeper insight. Not for self promotion, but for actual substance and truth. this blog is a non-profit coven. the only end state to this thing is passing along the "dark energy" rooted in me to all those who desire it. that's it. I tell them to read it because everything I will tell them has already been documented here.

Within the last two weeks I have started receiving and almost over whelming amount of contact with people looking for guidance. this is great for our cult. bigger numbers = bigger presence. I want this Coven (and everyone's muscles) to grow. This inspired me to do a little rooting around and check up on some of the people who I "helped" in the last year to see what has changed (for better or worse) and see where they are on the path. 

brothers and sisters I come from my travels of the far reaches of internet to bring forth grim news. save for one or two men, not one person has carried the light longer than maybe a few weeks (that's being generous). This is incredibly discerning for me. even though I knowthis lifestyle is difficult and can require many, many Blood Moons to pass, it frustrates and angers me greatly to see the lost potential and wasted efforts on other ventures that are total opposition of what we are trying to build. I only get so let down because even if I have never met you in person I truly do care. I mean that. 

I can only point you in the direction. I cannot carry you. I cannot open the eyes of someone who refuses to see. I am no mans Sherpa. no spell, black magic, belief, or invocation is stronger than the will of a man.

pure change. honest change. real change. it can only come from someone who WANTS to change. that is ground zero, step fucking one of any rehabilitation program. no shit its the first thing written on the instruction booklet of every smoking cessation product. if you do not believe me then look for yourself. you have to want to quit. nothing makes you quit. its your decision to quit or its your decision to rehabilitate yourself. these tools only exist to make the process of quitting/rehabbing/transforming easier and more efficient for the person who wants ACTUAL change.

That being said if you are new to the health game. I mean wet behind the ears, green as fuck, does not even know how to spell gym ( a guy-mn? whats a guy-mn?), new to "this whole fitness thing" then this message especially concerns you. You are a weak and scared lamb. a pure, non-baptized, sheep virgin but you know you want grow. to become baptized in the blood of the unholy iron and desire to walk the steps of the Wolf then fear not. because get this...... you don't even need to lift weights! I speak the gospel of truth. weights aren't even within your level. 

you are essentially the understudy of the part-time night shift doorkeeper for the Temple of Possible Recruits in your regional AAAA farm team which is only seasonally affiliated with the League of Servants for Current Alphas. The temple that you guard has an acceptance ratio into the Legion of True Mass of 2:235. that is how low you are on the Totem Pole Of Gains. Even Scribes and Serfs hold more title in their position than you. have no shame in this position. unless you are content to stat at level. then you should be well ashamed. We all started there. every single one of us did. You must pay your dues and put in the overtime work to become a Key Holder.

those periods above this line represent everything I just wrote about in the previous paragraph. you didn't even make the photo. depressing huh? the bottom level of that photo is the start of the Alpha Metamorphosis and everything below (shown by single dots) are the "Beta Sub-levels". There are ore sub levels below those. Beta sub-levels so low you would literally squirm and puke from sheer embarrassment.  This period (.) represents where you are in the Hierarchy of Fitness. damn you didn't even make it outta Beta Sub-level 4. lol. sorry bruh.

please note that that picture carries on even further. this photo only represents Mortal World Alphas. there are men so strong and confident they transcend mortal concepts and have places reserved in the skies for them. Example of Alpha Deities: Arnold, Danzig, Pat Tillman.

 If you cannot afford a gym membership, wouldn't know what to do if you were there, or money is tight for awhile and you are looking in the mirror late at night after a 3-day/night bender saying "man I suck. my life sucks. I want to not suck. I need a change" then listen to me.....

CHANGE WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK. HOW YOU EAT. WHEN YOU EAT. HOW MUCH YOU EAT. fucking change it. I dare you. I am calling you out. wanna get in shape? want to take that first step into becoming the man you think you are? then start today. not tomorrow, not after this next weekend, not when your "gym buddy" (who is not even in shape by the way. he is just slightly less fat, weak, and sloppy as you so he is the "in shape" by default) comes into your room and gently wakes you up from your 13 hour slumber by cracking open the blinds, blowing softly into your ear saying "hey there buddy..... time to wake up. I know you must be sooooo sleepy. poor thing. here I brought you some hot breakfast to eat while you wake up. just take your time. I already drew your hot bath. so when your all clean and ready I will be down stairs laying red carpet for your 30 second walk outside and warming up the car (its cold outside and I know you hate being chilly). while I wait for you I will be customizing every hour of the coming year of your life. that way you wont have to think." you wanna get serious. prove it. act now!

start learning how to eat properly to feed your temple. are you scared that it might be hard? are you afraid that you might actually...... *gasp* have to change something in your life?! then walk away now. frequent readers know that in the Black Metal Fitness Cult there are no room for fence walkers and shape shifters. pick a fucking side.

Egyptian Slaves picking a side. to serve the Queen and build their temple proper. fence walkers were executed and their garments and personal belonging were ravished by others to help themselves keep building.

hopefully I hurt your feelings and your butt is hurting. I make no apologies. no sense in crying over split blood. step one complete. now let us begin....

I am only gonna say this one last time. after this post I will start speaking to the brethren who are at novice/intermediate level of health and fitness. who are already committed to the Iron Sanctuary and ready to level up. So heed my sermon lambs.

WALKING THE PATH OF MIZRA: the metamorphosis of a man.

summoning the strength of self reliance and absolute control.

To become stronger you must do more than lift weights. you must do more than eat right. you must chisel all facets of your lifestyle into a “monument of power”. it is unspoken but well regarded that an increase in physical appearance bleeds into every other corner of your life. Over time you will watch how people treat you different. They approach you, address you, mention you, look at you, and move around you differently. Its hard to notice at first but your third eye will open and you'll witness what I speak of. I have never met a man who started lifting weights seriously and had all other parts of his life crumble. The key to any lasting monument is a well constructed foundation. If you build your temple hastily on wet dirt it will sink in time. If your temple is constructed on a strong foundation it will withstand all the elements and storms of life. The beauty of weightlifting is how it starts as a vanity boost and transcends into a lifestyle overhaul. 

are you ready to take communion? I am about to take you to church on this post.

As you you create new goals and smash them over and over again you are training your mind to focus on destroying adversity. Its an exciting process that one cannot fight. Once you have drank from the Chalice Of Iron your thirst will never be quenched. It will always desire more. You will never be content with where you are. You always want 5 more lbs, one more rep, one more set, one work out. You become hungry like the Killer Wolf of Danzig.

choose your spirit animal. sorry ladies you only get one option in this photo. but that is a pretty sweet choice for an Alpha Female.

So when you are far enough along in your path you will naturally begin looking past the weight room for gains. This is when the instinct kicks in and life gains begin to form. You will improve at your job. Or say “fuck this job” and seek better employment with better pay that you believe you deserve. You will create better friendships, improve old ones. You will be seen as a person who can be held accountable and in such be given opportunities to prove this true. You may want to go back to school. You may want to be better at school. You will seek higher education in any form. You will become financially responsible. You will not be intimidated by others. You will visually be able to seek out the meek and know how to push them away or guide them (which ever path you see fit). You will instantly bond with people of stronger intellect and stronger lifestyles. Their presence will improve your mindset. These are all things that have happen to me over time. From my lifting journey and also from my experience in the US Army Infantry. 

As an Alpha there are traits that the public expect of you.

The term Alpha Male has really been tarnished by the modern feminist movement. Identifying yourself as an outspoken Alpha male rubs most people the wrong way. They assume you are a sex crazed, selfish, self-absorbed, “master” who demands things and uses intimidation to get whatever you want. You treat women as objects and treat people as stepping stones. THIS IS FALSE. There are Alphas who are like this. They are the fucking worse. They are everywhere and are always the loudest of the bunch. Afraid of competition so they intimidate.

They have esteem issues and bizarre hang ups. They are raised on garbage television and bro culture. They are raised on low expectations and fed this bullshit of the social media generation of instant gratification. They are under educated and they are acting out the part of some concept of what an Alpha male is. I blame almost all of this on the rise in popularity of MMA culture in the last 15 years (see that shithead Warhammer who beat his porn star girlfriend within literal inches of her life and anyone who non-ironically wears Tapout/Afflicition/Ed Hardy clothing) and the resurgence of radical feminism pushed on us by Hollywood and major media outlets. Making you feel guilty that you are a man.

If you identify yourself as an Alpha male then that kind of backlash comes with the territory. But this is where we come in a re-define the term Alpha. We take it back from those that have corrupted the title. We will not apologize and if outsiders still disregard us as macho assholes. let them live. It doesn't concern your circle. we lead from the front. we speak with actions, not words, to show others what we are. 

bring forth all non-believers. show your face. are you afraid of what you see? are you afraid of what you THINK you know?

As a brother (or sister) in this Coven of Black Metal Fitness there are Alpha traits you will uphold. There are no exceptions to this. If you break any of these then you are in the wrong lifestyle. Go home and look up another label on a website to identify yourself with.

AS AN ALPHA MALE:

You will protect what is yours.

You will protect your family, friends, kids, lovers, co-workers, peers etc.. from physical harm. You will protect them from outsiders who are poisonous the the pack. They will see your sincerity from the actions you take to improve their lives and they will reciprocate. If they do not reciprocate then they are a leech on your well-being and should be removed from your circle.

You will provide for those you love.

It is your duty to work as hard as possible at all times to give your pack a financially stable life. To given them a positive environment to learn, grow, relax, and live. Even if you have to walk into the wood line to strangle a deer with your own hands in the heart of winter so they may eat. This is what you will do. You must always ask yourself “how can I better myself so that my pack may be better”? Provide food, shelter, clothing, love, appreciation, and positive mindset.

You will lead those who seek counsel.

You will not idle at anytime. You must push forward. Life is hard. Things happen. You get knocked down. You get fired. You get defeated. You loose. If I may quote Rocky “Its not how hard you hit. Its how you get hit and keep moving forward.” pick your head up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Quit looking for fucking handouts. No one is going to improve your situation better than you. You can wait for someone to come hold your hand and help you. If that person shows then good. If that person never shows then your wasted your entire existence waiting for a god who was never there. You have been played the fool. Mitigate this by walking the path. Being in the front to experience everything. Be the first to see hardship, be the first to see success. Being in the front forces you to learn. Forces you to react. Always stronger or better prepared for the next battle.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF FALSE ALPHAS.

when say pack it can be anything you deem worthy, Example: group of guy friends, your wife and child, your parents, your blood brother, or even yourself.

When I say circle it means those who have all and all access, VIP, backstage, sound check, meet n greet privileges to your existence. Usually this is your family that you have started. But it can also be just yourself because you have not met the proper mate yet. You have no found a worthy partner.

Worthy. A word that radical feminists think is disgusting. Fuck that, YOU ARE WORTHY. You are your own god. You decided who is worthy of your companionship, your effort, your strength, your life. Worth is not some male privilege bullshit. Its what a human being with confidence excepts. You except the best because you want the best. You know you will provide the best. You do not want your efforts wasted on someone who has no investment in you. 

did you know you are a real life video game?

THIN THE HERD.

This lifestyle is not for the weak. It forces your to be cold blooded. Its kill of be killed in nature men. You have to make tough decisions sometimes. You cannot be afraid or hesitate to THIN THE HERD. Kill off the deserters, stragglers, thieves, and poisons.

Observe and record this mission statement. Apply it to all angles of your observable Universe. Check yourself when you are straying. It happens. No one is perfect. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to fail. Don't get scared. If you do get scared don't let em see it. Maintain your stance and composure. Dig deep and give them hell. Make them regret the day they crossed you and your pack.

We all get lost now and then. If you find yourself wandering off the path of the Alpha then pull out this map and re shoot your azimuth on your life compass, and get back on track. Its not how you start, its how you finish.

And above all stay humble. Know that nature is deadly. Respect the elements of the world. Know that at anytime something can kill you. Know who your predators are and avoid them. Do not kill or confront anything that is not necessary for survival. Because life is survival. That's really all it is. We are all just trying to get to the next day. Predators are out there. Adapt accordingly and adjust as needed. Your Predator may be your own breed, it may be something like a wolf that feels threatened or something unseen like a pack of ticks on your back slowly sucking your lifes blood away and you don't feel the pain until its too late. I mean all of this both literally and figuratively.

The world is chaos. chaos has no pattern. Just know....

SIDE NOTE: MIZRA is the name of my new musical project. stay tuned for audio in the next month.

The title of this post refers to the name explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton used on his Hadji (journey) to Mecca. He is not the first non-Muslim to gain access inside but is the first to detail and document his entire expirence. He spent years mastering Arabic and Muslim languages and customs to infiltrate Mecca posing as a Pashtun muslim. He stayed digusied the entire time never showing his skin or face using the name Mizra. He is the living embodiment of my entire mind set. there is no greater story better than a stranger sneaking his way into a holy site and essentially desecrating it with his mere prescence by being a white european male. he poisioned the shrine. destroying the purity from the inside-out. MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.
