women, you get a feminine woman because she grew up with alpha.</p><p>I have never spoken openly about my grandpa, who to me was my as my father and a central character in my soul development, I never had the courage to write about him after his passing in 2020, because of how long it took me to heal and stand on my own two feet again. My grandpa was THAT central to me and I just know my children will have their father as the center of their soul because I know what to look for in a man for that eternal awe to happen.</p><p>So today I will tell you about him, a little, the good and bad, the times we agreed, argued and most importantly, what he taught me through turning down over 12 proposals <em>(yes he did lol and every story is funnier than the other) </em> that went through him - about the masculine standard.</p><p><em><strong>Notice: I will not edit this text as I am writing while crying, so please read it as it is and excuse mistakes, consider them the artistic process of this open hearted piece.</strong></em></p><p>I know many of you wonder how I ended up with my grandfather as my father figure: </p><p>My father is an engineer that quickly rose to power becoming one of the executives of a large national electricity company, he used to be handed projects around the country and had to move every few months to take care of business, my mother was raising me with a nanny in his absence and my grandfather who owned a massive 10 room Riad (because he had 10 children) that were all empty rooms as the adult children moved out - did not want me to grow up that way, he understood the importance of a father figure present in flesh during my critical first years of childhood, so we moved in with grandpa, and my mother, art and french professor, had been quiet about her reasons for deciding to never go back to my father but never spoke negatively of him.</p><p>All I knew was that here I was, with grandpa, the most respected man in our family, a man with a massive library, so tall you can&#8217;t miss him when he walked outside, an elegant gorgeous man from Fez, ex war general who fought the french occupation and killed a few french settlers, received a medal from his Majesty King Hassan 2 for it  and later was handed a management role in the governmental agriculture field where he dealt with land and land owners, which was his joy.</p><p>Grandpa was the son of the wealthiest man from Fez, but his father died when he was only 14, leaving him and his 11 year old brother as orphans, by law they could not yet access their father&#8217;s wealth and land, which unfortunately was entirely stolen by their powerful uncle, who left only dust to him and his brother. My grandpa then left Fez and started working at 15 years old, recommended by a friend of his dad who felt saddened by the theft of their properties, he recommended him to someone high up in Marrakesh to take him and his brother in, their mother had died before their father so they had nobody.</p><p>Grandpa was already a man at 15, he worked, brought money home and took care of his little brother. He fed his brother, dressed him and made sure they were both saving enough money to buy land at 18 - which they did. </p><p>Grandpa used to tell me how soon as I moved in with him, money started flowing to him from every direction. Not only him took notice of that, apparently even his spiritual friends, my kinda jealous grandma (yes, really).</p><p>He used to tell everyone how he found a lucky charm in me and when I was a kid, he made me believe that if I dipped my finger in his morning coffee it becomes sweeter.</p><p>I believed that for a long time, until I woke up in my 20s as a young woman who speaks 5 languages fluently, writes poetry in 3 languages, a girl that got the attention of royals, I always was the trouble-free kid to grandpa, except I did not know I was not a kid anymore, he shielded us so much that we didn&#8217;t notice that we grew up, I only noticed when he mentioned to me that men started proposing to me through him, and that was the beginning of a changed dynamic between me and him.</p><h3>The Men Rejected By Alpha:</h3><p>My grandpa was conservative, not in the western way people use the term, no, truly. </p><p>All of my aunts are veiled, my mother too, not a single person in my family has ever dated, if you wanted to contact a woman, you had to go through grandpa for that.</p><p>My first ever flip phone was offered at me very late in life: at 22, most people don&#8217;t believe me when I say that, but try and find any post or presence of me online prior to that age, you won&#8217;t find any because I had no phone, my grandpa made sure that I spent enough years becoming extraordinary, undisturbed by digital life, and I guess it paid off and that&#8217;s perhaps why I do everything differently than others.</p><p>How did I contact people until then? I was too busy for that, but I had a landline phone so grandpa could also answer lol that&#8217;s how.</p><p>I also had my time filled with art, language classes, dance classes, massive libary full of books in science, art, theology&#8230;I was a thinker and would debate grandpa over things because we would read books together and he would expect me to debate him to prove I read the book before he would buy me the next batch.</p><p>My grandpa coming home from work was an event, we all dressed up for it, all the kids, my aunts when they visited, we were raised to respect his presence, the kids would kiss his hand one after another in line before he would sit at the dinner table, the lights had to be soft, food was warm, music was on, having grandpa at home was our daily event that we celebrated every single time, he brought a sense of peace and direction to our lives and he always gave everyone at the table time to share whatever was important to them, even toddlers. He didn&#8217;t care that the toddler was saying whatever, he wanted to hear us all out. </p><p>One day after one of the usual dinners, grandpa asked for me alone in his library room which felt like the official &#8220;family meetings&#8221; room.</p><p>I felt like a big deal going there as mom and grandma wondered why.</p><p>I sat at the desk and he smiled and said</p><p><em><strong>&#8220; Only a man of great luck can land you&#8221; </strong>(in arabic it sounded really strong and specific)</em></p><p>I had no idea what he meant, in my head, I was unaware that I entered my 20s and that proposals were happening behind the scenes.</p><p>Then he gave me 3 photographs of 3 boys, and asked</p><p><em>&#8220;which one would you like us to invite over to get to know?&#8221;</em></p><p>I said nobody and threw the photos away. I felt offended grandpa thought I was adult enough to be married. What the hell was marriage? I had no idea. </p><p><em>&#8220;I guess not these 3 then&#8221; - </em>he then ended the family meeting and I ran out to my room and felt proud that the first 3 got rejected and I got saved.</p><p>Grandpa soon understood this was going to be a hell of a ride for me to get impressed by anyone.</p><p>In one proposal, a man from Iraq (which if you know anything about, that&#8217;s the cradle of Alpha) had sent his proposal to grandpa, he was from a military family like grandpa&#8217;s so he liked him.</p><p>That man and his family traveled so many times to Morocco to meet grandpa, their son saw me only once in the presence of grandpa and then started sending me letters to win me over. A strategy that grandpa liked, since it was not pushy.</p><p>Grandpa had read every letter,</p><p>one time he opened one and laughed and said to me &#8220;we will disqualify the Iraqi.&#8221;</p><p>I asked why, then he showed me a letter than said this:</p><p>&#8220; If the Iraqi tribes of the south knew about your beauty they would start walking north to you&#8221;</p><p><em>then grandpa added : &#8220;not only this is bad poetry, but <strong>a man who has enough feminine energy to write poetry is a hard pass,</strong> never fall for this, a real man will not have the right words, in fact, a real man who feels something real for you, might just be at loss of words, trying to adjust to the feeling, this guy is a feminine guy and you won&#8217;t do well with that&#8221;</em></p><p>I agreed, so grandpa packed the last gifts from the Iraqi official and sent them all the way back to Basra - Iraq.</p><p>Grandpa then got very good at turning down men, the meetings in his library room with me were more frequent as he explained to me everytime why we were precisely saying no.</p><p>He turned down french men from my childhood school, moroccan men who acted like the french, Saudi men with oil companies who wanted me to wear a Burqa, American men from my government days at the United Nations&#8230;and a jewish Duke who literally converted to Islam to impress grandpa, changed his name from Gabriel to Muhammad, this guy has learned by heart some of the Quran in arabic language and recited it in front of grandpa. So he had a real chance.</p><p>Grandpa asked me to then consider Duke Gabriel a little more seriously. After turning down nearly 12 men, I thought, hey, let&#8217;s see.</p><p>I almost said yes, but it felt wrong in my body, there was nothing in me that craved the guy or marriage to begin with. </p><p>One day, I asked grandpa to take me to his land so we could talk away from the family.</p><p>Then I asked him</p><p>&#8220;when does a woman KNOW it&#8217;s the one?&#8221;</p><p>he replied</p><p><em>&#8220;when their presence overshadows mine, that&#8217;s how you know. Your mother left your father because he could not do that. A real man makes a woman feel contained, like your grandma, she does not need anyone but me, that&#8217;s the feeling. You won&#8217;t need me then. He will hopefully take my place and own it, but if he does not contain your soul, just know you don&#8217;t need him.&#8221;</em></p><p>But that means it was none of these guys, because I ran back to grandpa everytime.</p><h2>&#8220;Only A Man Of Great Luck Will Have You </h2><h2>&#1604;&#1575; &#1610;&#1606;&#1575;&#1604;&#1603; &#1573;&#1604;&#1575; &#1584;&#1608; &#1581;&#1592; &#1593;&#1592;&#1610;&#1605;&#8221;</h2><p>if today I am able to work closely with royals, celebrities, billionaires and high achievers, men and women alike - and help them with their inner world, identity and immaterial wealth mastery - it is because I grew up with a real man figure in my life, of course my mother&#8217;s role was essential, but his presence defined what Alpha meant, and I only realize now how rare and scarce that is in the world.</p><p>Some lessons I learned about Alpha from grandpa:</p><h4>Alpha men are the table, but the table needs soul, company and loyalty:</h4><p>While in many broken masculine models, men vet women by financial warranty and &#8220;what do you bring to the table&#8221; red pill podcaster bro mentality, real men ARE the table itself: grandpa has been married for OVER 65 years. (married at 25, lived to over 92). My grandma has not contributed a penny during these 65 years of his life. He also paid her for breastfeeding every child because he valued that as &#8220;labor&#8221; and made us all aware of the hidden financial value of feminine contributions that are not visible in society.</p><ul><li><p>What my grandpa knew was that <em><strong>money will always follow character, but the opposite is not guaranteed. </strong></em>He doubled down on his character development, won the trust of his late father&#8217;s wealthy circles to do business with and built a large family of 10 kids and a DOZEN grandchildren </p></li><li><p>What men like grandpa are good at scanning a woman for is <em><strong>immaterial wealth traits that filled the - otherwise meaningless - table </strong></em>they&#8217;ve built: loyalty, feminine energy, wisdom, art, perspective, ability to grow/learn, <em>a woman to an alpha man is the immediate environment of his soul.</em></p></li><li><p>He lived by &#8220;fuck around the find out&#8221;, as in: he was the most peace, safe man to deal with in business and life, until you backstab him, then you&#8217;ll learn some timeless lessons. His force was never used unless absolutely necessary and his generosity was never weaponized by his children or grandchildren because we grew up respecting him, not using him - something I do not see in my wealthy clients lives.</p></li><li><p>When one of his sons got a divorce, I remember how he invited him and told him one thing before making it legally final <em><strong>&#8220;just know final means final, the next woman will not have to hear or deal with your past, if you think that will be the case, you&#8217;re not divorced, you&#8217;re a spare husband post-divorce&#8221;. </strong></em>So my uncle was able to rebuild his life truly, because he knew what it meant to free himself and walk into a new chapter without making anyone else pay for it. Again, something I see rarely among my (fe)male clients, who received and paid their dues, yet are carrying the ex on their back onto every other milestone, dooming themselves for failure.</p></li><li><p>Gandpa freed us from &#8220;survival mindset&#8221;, because of that, I could get interested in topics like this one, I could cultivate art, beauty, hobbies that only the 1% have, most women are not talented nor inspirational, they are basicas at best. Grandpa knew that an exceptional woman would never attract a man worried about &#8220; a table&#8221;, but rather, a man that wants his world to light up, his soul to light up, his heart and body to reach SUKUN, a philosophy I witnessed as a lucky child and cultivated consciously in my habits and ways of being. I had friends whose parents came from the old circles of grandpa&#8217;s dynasty family before he lost his wealth, and all of them had money, but few of them had character, few of them you&#8217;d want to sit with much less live with. So we understood that he built the foundations of generational wealth through character, the ultimate luxury asset.</p></li><li><p>Time and aging : this will sound interesting to a few, but grandpa taught us to not celebrate birthdays as they were a western invention meant to age you, because you lived by a linear age, when truly, in his generation, people lived by biological age: you are the exact age you look like on the outside. If you are 20 and are exhausted, wrinkly and F&#8217;ed up, you probably rank as a very poor quality 50. If you were 50 and looked 30, you probably are 30. Science has caught up to this, with Oprah now pushing people to check their biological age, which is far more accurate than how many years you have existed on earth. </p></li><li><p>Leave space for the masculine to fill: Despite grandpa&#8217;s capacity to make us feel totally contained, he also knew how to leave space for improvement that could only by filled by another masculine in our lives. We did not aim for &#8220;knowing it all&#8221; as the western model imposes: at 15 they are already over-sexed, they over partied, they behave like a woman in her 50s as early as 20, to us this does not register as &#8220;great life training&#8221;, but as &#8220;breaking innocence too soon, the wrong way through the wrong means&#8221;. Grandpa helped us all in character development, but also left gaps in it for a husband to fill: he always would say to me <em>&#8220; I aim to be your father figure, not a surrogate husband&#8221;</em> and that is so true in western world especially, with Trump-Ivanka creepy dynamics and overlapping of fatherhood with &#8220;only sex is missing for us to be married&#8221; kind of twisted &#8220;parenting&#8221;. An experiment grandpa would do for example was, during the time Duke Gabriel proposed to me, I was dressed minus jewelry. Gabriel caught that immediately and as early as his second meeting with grandpa, he offered jewelery and said he noticed I wasn&#8217;t wearing any and wanted to complete my look. Since then, I had never shown up to a date '&#8220;complete&#8221;, but instead, with many &#8220;gaps&#8221; grandpa taught me to watch if a man has the intuition to fill: real men are always looking for a gap to fill, both figuratively and literally (sexually) if you know what I mean! LOL those gaps can also be intellectual or behavior, in any case, a real man will not feel good until he fills them.</p></li><li><p>Effort wins: grandpa&#8217;s traditional gift to any of the ladies in the family was handmade jewlery, he had learned many crafts as a kid and was fascinated by Fez craftmanship - which was the source of wealth of his father&#8217;s lineage - so he could create a gorgeous bracelet, necklace, crowns with real crystals, gold, silver&#8230;and it would take him weeks, some months, and the most extraordinary grandchild AKA yours truly, would get the bracelet that took him the longest to make. <em>&#8220;buying is cheap, my time isn&#8217;t&#8221; </em>he would say. So we learned this: the essential gifts are sacrifice of something, time or effort, otherwise, <em>they are cheap no matter how expensive. </em></p></li><li><p>A woman is the rose of the household, a man is the household: While now we live in the best-worst of times, &#8220;love yourself&#8221; gurus going all in on their self love 7 figure mentorships and Hollyweird spending billions to convince you in movies that men are useless, deranged and that women can grow underarm hair and that is freedom - we forgot that truly, a man is the household itself.</p><p>This is why grandpa had left me with a deep imprint, before he passed away he was aware I was in love with someone he had not met, but he would say to me <em>&#8220;I know you can live anywhere, but I hope you only decide to leave Morocco if you found your household (meaning masculine) outside of it, until then, i left 5 walls (uncles) that are all your household and my energy around you, I hope you remain the rose inside those walls&#8221;.</em></p><p>I do admit that I am not one for &#8220;girls only&#8221; travel, we grew up needing men, wanting men around, not even traveling without our men, be it our fathers or brothers or uncles, I choose to remain where the walls are solid around me, because there my only job is to bloom. I wouldn&#8217;t be the artist, 7-figure international figure I am today if I was country-hopping for the sake of a vanity home address that suits the modern man&#8217;s perception. I was offered to live literally anywhere, and I chose to stay near the masculine, and if I ever leave, it would be to bloom inside stronger walls, happily contained, you might see it as &#8220;restriction&#8221; if you are used to women &#8220;jumping on opportunities&#8221;, but we did not grow up with that kind of material hunger, we grew up watered, protected and we simply aim to continue to bloom - which absolutely needs and honors the men&#8217;s job in our lives.</p></li></ul><p>(to be

interest in getting to know people who need to outsource their identity from the trends, who collect their persona from silicone, who are a cheap billboard for even cheaper brands and have no timeless philosophy.</p><p>A Princesa always knows who she is and Art by definition does not alter itself if it in fact moves as art: would you change the walls of Versailles because now &#8220;minimalism&#8221; is trending? Versailles is Versailles, it is not your Pinterest DYI and it does not seek your opinion, it is grandiose as it is and so are rare women, there&#8217;s not a single plastic woman I have met inside the palace, those live outside, they need borrowed identity because they are telling the world: they are not La Princesa. </p><p>Since we are speaking of identity, and since I rarely allow any glimpse into who I am, here is an unedited text from 2018 about my identity so we get to know each other:</p><p><em>&#8220;Who am I?</em></p><p><em>If you are here and you find yourself immersed in my thoughts and philosophies, you might wonder who I am, I have never written an introduction through which we can somewhat truly see each other.</em></p><p><em>I will tell you first what I am not,</em></p><p><em>I am not your guru, I am certainly not a new age feminist, nor therapist, I am not an influencer despite having the brand deals and maybe the &#8220;look&#8221;, I am not a fan of trends and transitory habits, my passions have evolved over years intentionally, in Spanish &#8220;talento&#8221; meaning &#8220;talent&#8221; is also &#8220;tan-lento&#8221; as in &#8211; very slow. Talent, true talent, is always very slow.</em></p><p><em>I am not promiscuous, in fact, I am not even modern in that sense, I will not date you and move in with you, or reply to your dms, or call you back&#8230;I fall in love, and if it happens then I also cultivate that away from the woke culture that wants us to label everything, use new words to control uncontrollable realities&#8230;</em></p><p><em>And when I fall in love, it is with a man who&#8217;s truly one, a man of few words, solid intellect, a man who grew up playing outside, getting hurt and getting up, a man whose work does not keep him behind a keyboard, a man twisted women will call &#8220;toxic&#8221;  because he does not offer flowers on a date and does not go to healing retreats nor does he like to &#8220;sit down and talk about it&#8221;&#8230;he just is and he&#8217;s comfortable being exactly who he is.</em></p><p><em>I did not exchange God for the vague Universe practices, I never went to Burning Man, I do not like yoga, I like oriental danse, alive, free and sensual</em></p><p><em>I do not drink matcha because it ages you, I do not do the morning breathwork nor the night mediation</em></p><p><em>I live, fully, without interruption, without performance, without judgement or expectations of perfection because my ambition is to be art and art does not aim for &#8220;perfection&#8221; but rather for exquisite rare presence.</em></p><p><em>I dress in silk, I listen to Charles Aznavour sing about a Montmartre that does not look like the one we have today</em></p><p><em>I write letters to my loved ones</em></p><p><em>I bring people back to their truth and I water their dreams with my softness until they flourish</em></p><p><em>And I wear perfume to bed, I still have my soft voice</em></p><p><em>I do not have anything plastic inside of me, and yes, my lips are real. </em></p><p><em>I AM real. Maybe now, we know each other, a little.&#8221;</em></p><h3><strong>Pillar 2: A Princesa has talent. Most people have workforce skills.</strong></h3><p>&#8220;Talento&#8221; means talent&#8212;but it also reads as <em>tan lento</em>: very slow.</p><p>Cultivating a skill that does not belong on LinkedIn is increasingly rare because people are increasingly poor&#8212;in every sense. Their soul has been traded for paychecks, leaving us with efficiency&#8230; but no depth.</p><p>Talent is what you are born with.<br>But <em>talented</em> is who you become when you refine it&#8212;over years&#8212;without needing validation.</p><p>The rarest trait that qualified women in royal courts was not beauty&#8212;it was talent: art, poetry, philosophy, SUKUN.</p><p>Only slaves were silent. They were well-groomed too&#8212;but silent.</p><p>A man like Suleiman would look at 99% of Instagram women and see nothing he needed. The palace already had material abundance. What he required was intangible, rare, soul-provoking.</p><p>Men need that to grow. To conquer. To dream. To love.</p><p>No man fully emerges outside the presence of a magnificent woman.<br>Whether mother or lover&#8212;ideally both&#8212;it always takes a rare woman to reveal a man to himself.</p><p>In a world of women who have little to say and much to ask, men are becoming uninspired, hollow, and dangerous to themselves.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>Because the forgotten truth is this:<br>A man is born once from the womb&#8230; and then again, and again, and again&#8212;from the depth of a rare woman&#8217;s love.</p></div><h3><strong>Pillar 3: A Princesa is not accessible&#8212;she is available by destiny, not by demand</strong></h3><blockquote><p>&#8216;<em><strong>A woman&#8217;s heart should be so hidden in God</strong></em> that a man has to seek Him just to find her.&#8217; - Maya Angelou</p></blockquote><p>A rare woman is not &#8220;hard to get.&#8221;<br></p><p>She is simply not <em>available</em> through ordinary means: you won&#8217;t meet her if you simply network enough, if you get introduced by the right people, if you travel enough or even if you pay matchmakers. </p><p>You will meet her when your heart has sent enough real prayers only God has heard, and she will be placed effortlessly in front of you through means you&#8217;ll never understand, for the entire universe conspired to work in your favor for that one moment of serendipity.</p><p>Modern women seek strategy, and some of them will be alright - if alright is satisfying that is, but THE woman will be outside the box, <em>kept from you and for you all at once, </em>in a divine play monitored by God, because you finding each other is a life altering moment, a beginning where both of your identities will never be the same, unlike anything &#8220;arranged&#8221;, studied, safe and predictable. </p><p>A Princesa has her man inscribed on her heart, and she lives peacefully knowing God made him to find her and find himself during such a pursuit, for she belongs only to the highest version of him and would only be delivered to the highest version of him.</p><p>I have once read in a secret book that <strong>men are destined for one woman, and they will sabotage everything that is not her</strong>, when she appears, they feel deeply it is time to rise to their highest self, because they know intuitively that is the only way to keep her and the only acceptable offering to La Princesa.</p><h2><strong>Pillar 4: A Princesa carries </strong>the invisible crown</h2><div class="pullquote"><p>It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; <em><strong>what is essential is invisible to the eye</strong></em>. Antoine de Saint-Exup&#233;ry, The Little Prince</p></div><p>As the western world programmed women to take a man&#8217;s role in peacocking: whether through showcasing visible wealth, attracting through status, or getting that third brazilian butt injection, La Princesa speaks to a man&#8217;s soul through an invisible thread. </p><p>Her crown is only visible to those hand selected souls who have gone into <em>the arena</em>. The rest may also want La Princesa, that&#8217;s why fame chases her easily, opportunities never lack in her world, yet she also has an eye for the invisible battles a man has fought to claim himself, even if invisible to others or even himself.</p><p>She is the mirror and north star to her beloved, every step he takes towards her is a step he crosses towards himself and the life he always wanted and deserved.</p><p>But you too are invited, to sit by the fountain of love that she is and replenish your soul in a world where everything creates more hunger, like that rolling stones song &#8220;I can&#8217;t get no satisfaction&#8230;but I tried&#8230;and I tried&#8230;and I tried&#8230;&#8221;</p><p>You&#8217;d be trying forever unless you&#8217;ve found SUKUN, somewhere by a fountain pouring love over you and you alone, that kind of luck that makes you feel like the king of the world, simply to have arrived at the secret garden that is yours and yours alone, so far removed from the world&#8217;s ongoing agony and deception.</p><p>Only the man in the arena knows how good it feels to find such a garden, after all they have seen, battled and survived.</p><p><em>So they lock their garden,</em></p><p><em>and it remains invisible to the eye, except their own.</em></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, A Man's Invisible Crown

wealth mastery through their leadership, I am compelled to write about Love as The Invisible Crown.</p><p>Regardless of the future of the Trump administration, one undeniable truth has emerged: he has buried his legacy, transitioning from a figure once &#8220;loved&#8221; to one now &#8220;hated,&#8221; even by his closest allies.</p><p>Conversely, Putin appears to be shifting from &#8220;hated&#8221; to &#8220;loved&#8221; by asserting his opinions, revealing more of his personality, and deliberately breaking traditional etiquette to display a deeper sense of heart.</p><p>Iran, too, has demonstrated a distinct philosophy. During a conflict where Trump vowed to &#8220;create massive damage,&#8221; Iran steadfastly adhered to a principle of not harming civilians.</p><p>In the short run, force may appear to triumph, but in the long run, Love is the true crown.</p><p>When even Americans begin to cheer for Iran&#8212;their perceived opponent&#8212;simply because they admire their men, it underscores the immense power of something leaders frequently overlook: their Love Capital.</p><p>This principle extends beyond geopolitics, playing out in business, politics, and even in structures as seemingly unethical as the Mafia. The Mafia, for instance, is known to avoid working with disloyal or unmarried men, understanding that a man incapable of loyalty to his wife will not be loyal to them. A man who openly cheats will openly betray them.</p><p>A man cherished by a genuine woman signals reliability and safety to other men. It is The Invisible Crowna man carries into any room, a crown that silently proclaims:<br>&#8220;There is an inherent goodness about this man that makes him loved and cherished. He possesses a unique quality that inspires admiration naturally, without needing to buy it, and the woman by his side is living proof.&#8221;</p><p>I recall an instance at a high-stakes investment meeting where I was a guest. The investor was initially dismissive of the startup until I interjected, &#8220;This founder is the most loyal person I know in the tech space; he hasn&#8217;t fired a single individual even after losing investment, choosing instead to forgo his own salary to pay his team.&#8221;</p><p>That moment transformed the investor&#8217;s perception. He looked at the founder with newfound admiration, knowing my opinions are unbought and that I have no vested interest in the company&#8217;s success or failure. He understood that my mentorship of the founder was personal, and my assessment was based on genuine insight.</p><p>A firm &#8220;no&#8221; swiftly became an enthusiastic &#8220;hell yes.&#8221;</p><p>In 2026, as many boys grow up without fathers, and fathers spend their prime years detached and globe-trotting, and as women of true value become increasingly difficult to discern amidst a sea of performative, superficial femininity, it has become profoundly challenging to find men wearing this Invisible Crown of Love.</p><p>This Love Asset shields men from the emptiness of the world, offering them a sanctuary where they are unconditionally valued, a place where they don&#8217;t have to constantly prove their worth or engage in the battles they face externally.</p><p>However, this truth is not lucrative for society. For if all men wore a Love Crown, who would subscribe to OnlyFans? Who would seek escorts? Who would relentlessly pursue every fleeting event, unanchored by genuine connection?</p><p>Men&#8217;s misery, it seems, is a far larger market than women&#8217;s misery; the latter is merely a byproduct of the former.</p><p>Men possess the inherent power to restructure society when they reclaim their Invisible Crowns and re-center themselves. They have the capacity to dismantle destructive forces, serve as inspiring role models, and cultivate havens where Love can flourish, far removed from the clamor and distractions of the world. This is the true essence of Immaterial Wealth: a legacy built not on possessions, but on profound connection, unwavering loyalty, and the boundless power of Love.</p><p>This is the profound journey we embark on with The Invisible Crown: recognizing that true power, influence, and lasting legacy stem not from what is acquired externally, but from the cultivated richness of our inner world. It is the ultimate asset for Black Swan Leaders : those who dare to lead from a place of authentic connection, creating a ripple effect of Health, Wealth, Happiness, and Wisdom that transforms not just their lives, but the very fabric of society. </p><p><em>Embrace your Invisible Crown, for your royal era truly begins now.</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Epstein:

The credit belongs to the man who is actually<strong> in the arena</strong>, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.&#8221; &#8212;Theodore Roosevelt</em></p><p>I started with this quote because perhaps the most rewarding, tiring, shocking, expansive and effort-worthy yet thankless pursuit you&#8217;ll ever sign up to: is your pursuit of wisdom and truth.</p><p>And this pursuit brings us back to the right questions, even in the Epstein case: </p><p>Is this really about sex/power or is it about Light VS Dark battle?</p><p>You&#8217;ll need to read the Epstein documents yourself to understand that eating children has little to do with sexual pleasure and a lot to do with the top of pyramid fight of Evil VS Good, God VS Satan and their respective philosophies. </p><p>You&#8217;ll also understand that your Hollywood idols have been hand-selected for you to push the narratives of the dark side:</p><ul><li><p>Nudity and sexual over availability of women - because dark forces use the wombs of whores to multiply but it&#8217;s presented as &#8220;freedom&#8221;, &#8220;fashion&#8221; and &#8220;female emancipation&#8221;, strangely enough, this emancipation is always strictly limited to nudity, reinforced by new age hijacked spirituality in events such as &#8220;<em>Burning Man</em>&#8221;</p></li></ul><p>They definitely are <em>burning men,</em> because offering drugs and sex under the pretext of spiritual practice bombards men with visual options and scatters their sexual force which - if channeled properly - could have been a creative force for good, a grounding healing protective force.</p><ul><li><p>Nervous system trauma: exposing ourselves to so much nudity, vulgarity, low frequency sound through music, 5G towers <em>(accidentally, the tallest 5G tower in the world is right in front of Mecca, to absorb all the high frequency of prayer and counter it with negative energy, but that too is just my imagination, it must be just a coincidence) </em>, children in music videos are norm&#8230;makes us increasingly insensitive to what we are exposed to </p></li><li><p>Netflix normalizing pedophilia and the gender neutrality (whatever that means) agenda. And this is why I do not have Netflix. </p></li><li><p>Dating apps turning sexuality into a market, making women easily accessible, desperate and plastic since the outward game and &#8220;influencer lifestyle blogger&#8221; is the trademark of brainwashed and empty women who thrive on using their body as a cheap billboard for &#8220;brands&#8221; just to gain proximity to any kind of vanity: because when you&#8217;re empty and you know it, you really do hustle outwards, and it created multi billion dollar plastic surgery market and social media markets where the loudest are the emptiest</p></li><li><p>Gender-war topics and red pill podcasters who are bottom of the pyramid are used cheaply for propaganda of these &#8220;top of pyramid&#8221; ideologies.</p></li></ul><p>I can keep advancing and stating the obvious, but it all seems connected once you place it in front of you:</p><p>it aims to decentivise what&#8217;s good and reward what&#8217;s bad, then they push out these ideologies as micro cultures in the elite world - because if the rich follow it then it&#8217;s more &#8220;impressive&#8221; to the unexamined mind.</p><p>Proof is: find me a real person within this over-availability of shells and you just found a needle in the haystack: they all look alike and think alike, you only need to meet one sample to have met the 99% : They succeeded at making human intrinsic value a second thought because the outward was put forward forcefully upon us for so long. </p><h1>Wokism and whorism are one:</h1><p>I always hated Deepak Chopra, I am very intuitive and never understood why I just never liked the guy, now with Epstein files out, we all know why.</p><p>Deepak represents the leaders of the sheep, now that they erased and hijacked religions, they created a new age religion where everyone must meditate even when there&#8217;s no need, everyone&#8217;s wearing ALO workout skirts promoted by the queens of whorism : The Kardashians, the family whose own mother pimps her daughters out to the elites and micro manages their sex tapes and scandals for the benefit of fame, but make no mistake, it is not fame that pays their billions, it is the dark network they all serve, they are paid for global impact.</p><p>So now, all these divorcees, gym fanatics, longevity whores taking everyone to the bedroom half naked on instagram - are all vegan, obsessed with manifesting and meditation, always preaching like they are superior - are in fact the most spiteful, lost, deranged women you&#8217;ll ever meet. <em>(if they share quotes on social media about forgiveness and letting go, that&#8217;s your red flag! their bios are usually something involving &#8220;fashionista&#8221; &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; and their fake white teeth can be spotted from outer space) </em></p><p>These are the ones with a Deepak Chopra book at home, they&#8217;re the ones with children they don&#8217;t know how to raise because they don&#8217;t know how to even raise themselves and they&#8217;re flooding the spiritual retreat world to prove their non-existant goodness to the world.</p><p>Good women are just living, they&#8217;re not in some form of weird simulation of living.</p><p>Woke agendas are simple: they know women are both miserable and empty, so their job is to fill the gap with something that resembles salvation. And it&#8217;s lucrative to the likes of Deepak Chopra and it strokes the ego of these lost creatures. </p><p>Why did I link wokism to whorism, simply because the very dangerous teachings of the new age are all about erasing the very last bit of discernment one has: &#8220;don&#8217;t judge&#8221; &#8220;don&#8217;t think negative&#8221; &#8220;sexuality should be lived openly&#8221; &#8220;marry yourself&#8221;,</p><p>I know at least 10 &#8220;gurus&#8221; online who have these sentences as &#8220;their life calling&#8221;. </p><p>As usual, they all contradict God&#8217;s law and they are the fast fashion ideology exported by the ones behind Epstein and his likes, which clearly indicates spiritual warfare.</p><h1>Finance, men and spiritual warfare:</h1><p>&#8220;Money is evil&#8221; is the cowardice of morons speaking: only a person that can&#8217;t trust themselves to do good in this world would say that.</p><p>Money is neither evil nor good, money is your Dharma teacher, it&#8217;ll expose who someone truly is, it&#8217;s the clearest of all mirrors and the highest of spiritual tests.</p><p>God has entrusted men on his resources on this earth the way an investor would entrust a founder: what you do next will determine if you were worth the investment to begin with.</p><p>Epstein being a Kabbalic Lucifer/Demon worshipper, is speaking out on behalf one half of the wealthy on earth: the ones who decided what they will do with the money is create suffering and export aspects of that sub-culture as &#8220;billionaire lifestyle&#8221;. </p><p>Whichever level of thought one incorporated from Epsteinism - is still Epsteinism.</p><p>Not picking sides in the Light VS Dark battle simply implies one is prey for the dark ideology - not a single person is exempt from taking sides in this battle - it is the only default mode we have here by simply existing.</p><p>Money mixed with the worst possible ideology of life is now for the first time in history being openly examined by the masses, raising serious questions about the role of our men in society, their role in front of themselves when nobody&#8217;s watching and in front of God eventually. </p><p>Not the &#8216;God&#8221; Deepak Chopra said is a &#8220;construct&#8221; - the creator that will judge him for what he said. That God. </p><p>Deepak, Dalai Lama, the gay world leaders share one thing: they all disbelief in divine power, because they MUST disbelieve in it to justify their Luciferian worship and have no regret inflicting harm and confusion on the masses. </p><h2>Wherever there&#8217;s money, there&#8217;s a battle of good vs evil</h2><p>Nobody is under as much spiritual warfare as the &#8220;neutral&#8221; billionaire/millionaire who thinks these discours don&#8217;t concern him at all and that Epstein is just a freak incident. </p><p>God sends money along with the tests, the more you have, the more you are tested, through the control of society, the expectations of peers, even through children/exes/friends who become either enablers or jailors of the &#8220;Golden Bull&#8221; - they don&#8217;t even relate to their so called friend/parent/ex as a human, but only as resource that deserves punishment for having been selected by God for material power.</p><p>This is important for all wealthy men to understand : you&#8217;re living peak spiritual warfare, you&#8217;re not a &#8220;black sheep&#8221; or &#8220;rebel&#8221;, you are truly seeing things as they are.</p><p>So did Prince Harry when he chose to leave the world that ended his mother&#8217;s life.</p><p>Or 7th generation heir Patrick Guerrand H&#233;rmes, who hated Hermes bags and <strong>stood against skinning animals ALIVE </strong>for a BAG, just to sell it to prostitutes (<em>wives are not exempt from the title, only spiritual awareness can exempt someone from an identity role)</em> - since then, Hermes has become, to me, an item I do not want or need. I do not want a baby calf or beautiful crocodile skinned alive. I would never carry that on me and these &#8220;women&#8221; who claim they are soft by ACTING out performative femininity taught by their russian scums are all of a sudden not sensitive to animals skinned alive and would sell their soul to the devil for Hermes bags. TRUE femininity is about MERCY. </p><p>Patrick decided to settle in a small town near Meknes, Morocco, his Hermes family disowned him for finding peace, they have tried to hurt him in every way possible, his gardener was the only person that cared for him as a human, that is why Patrick wrote off his wealth to his moroccan gardener before his dealth, an operation saboatged by the Hermes family who blocked the funds in their Swiss banks and threatened the gardener&#8217;s life.</p><p>It&#8217;s almost like war is default mode when God has chosen you to potentially extend his Dharma on earth: you&#8217;ll see the demons come out of your closest ones, you&#8217;ll see the worst sides of humans and life, and you&#8217;ll be asked to stay strong, hopeful, stay in God&#8217;s light and know there&#8217;s always a way out of that darkness.</p><p>In my boys education project To Prince, I educate little boys on their internal wealth: their strength, love, kindness, bravery - I would like for them to see money as a tool for good on earth and to consider their generational wealth a natural selection for a role important to God and important to society: this is the re-definition necessary that gives these little boys a pure intent to succeed which goes beyond simply &#8220;sustaining&#8221; the lineage by force or at the expense of their soul.</p><p>This is what Epstein case exposed (and his likes throughout history) - their gay agenda strips men from masculinity so that they are no longer in God&#8217;s light, gays can not protect us. And funnily every world leader except VERY few - is GAY. </p><p>They are raping little boys and making them confused about their identity so that they struggle most of their life to just be men again, that&#8217;s the kinda trauma that takes forever to heal. Justin Bieber has made this clear in his video &#8220;YUMMY&#8221;, which was entirely about Epstein&#8217;s rape of the singer who now battles serious mental issues and physical pain. </p><p>Boarding Schools are not innocent in this, the amount of pedophiles chosen as directors of these schools in order to torture little boys and break their spirit under the cover-up of &#8220;elitism&#8221; or &#8220;family tradition&#8221; is insane.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know how anyone can still dismiss how this is a systematic war on men primarily (women are not primary target they&#8217;re an OUTCOME of a disoriented masculine).</p><h2>Epsteinism: The Laws Of The Darkness</h2><p>You&#8217;ll find that all of the &#8220;billionaire&#8221; culture was exported to the elites by Epstein likes throughout history, preying on their weaknesses: gigantic egos, high IQs but low EQs, absence of immaterial wealth education and overall inability to question themselves.</p><p>These principles are the following, and you&#8217;ll find every celebrity and false spiritual guru promotes them under the guise of &#8220;emancipated sapiens&#8221;:</p><p><strong>Rule N.01: God is construct</strong> (in the words of Deepak Chopra)</p><p>The relationship between denying the existence of God and indulging in deviant desires cannot be explained as a shallow cause-and-effect link (such as saying: &#8220;Because he doesn&#8217;t believe in God, he does such and such&#8230;&#8221;).</p><p>I see it as something deeper&#8212;we are witnessing a collapse in the relationship with the symbolic limit (the law that is unseen).</p><p>In psychological structure, God&#8212;regardless of one&#8217;s personal belief stance, and regardless of which god one believes in&#8212;represents the ultimate embodiment of prohibition. Belief in God makes us understand that not everything is permissible, not every desire must be fulfilled, and the body is not an open field without boundaries.</p><p>When a person denies this level of law, it doesn&#8217;t create a neutral void&#8212;it creates a collapse in the function of prohibition within the psyche.</p><p>For example, pedophilia (the particular deviant desire toward children) is, analytically, not just &#8220;strange inclinations,&#8221; but rather a failure of desire to submit to symbolic formation. Natural desire passes through language, law, and the recognition of the Other as a subject. But when someone remains imprisoned by the id (the raw drive), desire descends&#8212;from the level of relationship to the level of usage, and from mutual pleasure to compulsive domination.</p><p>In this case, denying the existence of God acts as a sophisticated defense mechanism, because to acknowledge God is to acknowledge that there is something above the ego, that desire is not sovereign, and that there is accountability&#8212;not only socially, but internally.</p><p>You&#8217;ll find that the person immersed in deviant pleasures does not deny God because he&#8217;s &#8220;intellectually liberated,&#8221; but because he cannot bear the existence of a symbolic witness to his actions. Deviancy always requires a space with no witness, no name, no law.</p><p>So, the more the superego is silenced, the less simple pleasures satisfy. The id operates on a logic of escalation&#8212;what pleased yesterday no longer suffices today. There arises a need to break a greater taboo, to seek a weaker subject, one more fragile, less capable of resistance&#8230;</p><p>This is where we understand why deviant pleasures are often linked to control, humiliation, breaking innocence, and violating all that is forbidden.</p><p>Not merely in pursuit of pleasure&#8212;but in an attempt to erase the law itself.</p><p>It is an unconscious attempt to kill the idea of God, again and again, through action.</p><p>So, denying God and indulging in perversion are not two separate matters, but two faces of the same structure&#8212;a structure that rejects limits, cannot accept lack, and lives in the illusion of absolute sovereignty.</p><p>And whoever refuses the existence of a &#8220;higher authority,&#8221; symbolically or existentially, will remain enslaved by his impulses, no matter how much power, money, or fame he accumulates. Psychoanalysis makes it clear:</p><p>When God is erased from the inside, man does not become free&#8230; he becomes unhinged.</p><p>But of course, you don&#8217;t build Rome in one day, Vatican worked over thousands of years to weaponize organized religions to turn them into absolute inferno, which no logical human would adhere to, but instead of going from that to &#8220;truth research&#8221;, most just go to a form of epsteinism, pre-packaged identity with no effort needed AND feeds the ego. </p><h3><strong>Rule N.02: The Genesis Of Prostitution Through Generational Wealth Women: The Jezebel Archetypes, the handler wives and daughters of the elites preventing wealth from going to the Light side - a case study of Ghislane Maxwell.</strong></h3><p>Now that rule N.01 is established, in this order, we can finally get to the twisted family dynamics that result indirectly from the previously mentioned false superiority. </p><p>There&#8217;s an unspoken consensus among the billionaire culture that they are above judgement, but everyone else must be judged and evaluated.</p><p>This rule has begun with the Jezebel Archetype which constitutes nearly every daughter/wife/ex wife of elites that I have ever met. </p><h4>Who are Jezebels?</h4><p>A Jezebel is a female archetype that has been completely disconnected from its spirituality, emptied from values, it&#8217;s said to be &#8220;the maid of satan&#8221;, women who obsess over their appearance and follow money at any price, they are extremely fragile and insecure inside, because anything disconnected from source is pure parasite, so they need &#8220;generational wealth&#8221; as a shield for what they truly have become. </p><p>Jezebels historically have been the daughters and wives in billionaire circles, their job is simple: it&#8217;s based on a psychological principle called &#8220;Projection&#8221;, since they are the ones who embody &#8220;gold digger&#8221; mentality, they act as handlers of their fathers and partners in the future, this is done through covering up the systematic abuse under &#8220;protection from outsider gold diggers&#8221; - to operate peacefully, like an auto-immune disease, eating the masculine from within his home and stripping him from divine feminine protection. </p><p>The true fear of Jezebels is that the masculine awakens at the hand of a real feminine, so they must at all cost kill every attempt of awakening through financial sabotage, drama and victimhood. </p><p><em>Jezebels are not heiresses, they are whores in disguise,</em> maids of the devil working over-time to keep men angry, hungry for love and spiritually asleep.</p><p><em>Jezebels are not sexually jealous, they are financially jealous</em>. A core trait of original gold digger syndrome: they prove their are indifferent to their parents or partners personal life by being the handlers: they pick and choose the women themselves, then police their every move, especially their &#8220;spending&#8221; - because technically, it is the jezebel that is hired by &#8220;satan&#8221; if you&#8217;d like - to prevent wealth from serving good on earth. </p><p>Normal women in love will always be monogamous and expect monogamy sexually as part of their innate nature from God, but Jezebels prefer to pass their partners/fathers around without blinking, in exchange for financial control.</p><p>They use their body as a weapon: they&#8217;re the ones constantly on diet, with plastic surgery done as early as 18 years old, because they hold no innocence within, they are not normal &#8220;girls&#8221;, they are agents of corruption from within the homes of the most powerful men on earth.</p><p>I have once worked with a real estate famous figure in France who owns most real estate in Paris, and his daughter&#8217;s exchanges with him on the phone that he showed me for our <a href="https://calendly.com/emanbensalem/the-crown-session?back=1">innerscope valuation session</a> - included photos of women she selected for him to have sex with, approvals from her on who he gets to meet and &#8220;deadlines&#8221; to his hookups so that non of them transforms into a deep bond. She would pick russian girls for her father round the clock, Ghislaine Maxwell style, and made sure they were empty from spiritual force so that he doesn&#8217;t accidentally meet anyone that wakes him up.</p><p>At the same time, she would occasionally text her father that &#8220;she&#8217;s the only real family&#8221; to him, a myth that fell apart when he got a sexual permanent disease and was left in a hospital for 30 days without call of visit from his handler-daughter or handler-ex. (which led to our work together) - except for text messages about legacy planning and signatures needed from him for other paris properties his &#8220;family&#8221; wanted him out of.</p><p>It sounds insane to the average person who never has been part of these circles that men of the caliber I am talking about, men with massive intelligence, respected globally, would be simply pimped out by daughters and ex wives, but that has been a historic fact since the beginning of the Jezebel Archetype, which is - since beginning of time. </p><p>Prince Harry escaped exactly this fate, they tried to hook him up with Chelsea, his 10 year generational wealth girlfriend carefully placed in front of him and imposed by the palace, she was trained to not be sexually jealous and would have kept money in their circle, but Harry rejected the entire system and saw into the intentions of his handlers, something he was already familiar with given his father&#8217;s dark affairs.</p><h5>Jezebels are always decorated with prestigious diplomas but never with immaterial wealth mastery</h5><p>Ghislaine Maxwell&#8217;s father was Robert Maxwell, In early 1991, Maxwell was considered a billionaire, owning major assets like the <em>New York Daily News</em> and a significant share of MTV Europe. Maxwell's fortune was built on aggressive acquisitions, such as purchasing Macmillan Inc. for $2.6 billion in 1988, but was ultimately exposed as a massive, fraudulent enterprise.</p><p>Ghislaine has learnt to be her father&#8217;s handler way before Epstein came in the picture:</p><p>she was used to attending every single party, birthday, wedding or high society event in her father&#8217;s circle, gathering the portfolio that would later be used for prostitution with Epstein.</p><p>She had received 10M in hidden trusts to escape bankruptcy, received presitgious education from Oxford and her idea of a &#8220;high life&#8221; is the lowest of low lives: in elite circles where schools are name dropped for prestige as a way out of being questioned for value, Ghislaine&#8217;s credentials were enough for Epstein to display her proudly outward, and together they built a business plan based off of their worst traits: greed, sex obsessions, <em>Baal worship, </em>escort economy and child trafficking for Hollywood to start placing &#8220;young human flesh&#8221; on their most exclusive menus in these freak events.</p><p>Here, we need to really pause and start learning that diplomas, while necessary, will never override a rotten identity. But a well cultivated identity, can not only start an empire but sustain it.</p><h4>Why sex? why not a different obsession?</h4><p>I can think of a million thing one can get addicted to that is not sex. Yet, sex has remained the opium of the elites, but why? that is the question. </p><p>The answer is strictly spiritual: in practical wisdom, sexual energy equals creation energy, when you truly want to corrupt someone, get them to be open sexually and they will be by default self destructive. </p><p>Sex is sacred energy in divine realm, since it links us directly to creation. So it&#8217;s part of Baal Worship (whether people know it or not) to erase sexual exclusivity and invert creation energy into a dark vessel of endless dissatisfaction. That&#8217;s why erasing practical wisdom from our education and focusing overly on &#8220;freedom&#8221; has created <strong>the Jezebels on instagram ready to enable the next Epstein for some cash, a trip or even just a dinner (and they refer to themselves as high value women! inverting value so that more cattle can follow)</strong>. </p><p>Women with status, diplomas, generational wealth&#8230;nothing differentiates them except spiritual value, without it, they&#8217;re cattle no matter how glamorous on the outside.</p><h2>Rule N.03: Intellectualism as replacement for spiritual identity</h2><p>Please go to jmail.world which will lead you to Epstein&#8217;s inbox (the 1% of it released by DOJ) and then research &#8220;Amazon&#8221;.</p><p>You&#8217;ll find over 5000 books purchased. </p><p>All major religions will agree that knowledge is a great pursuit, but there&#8217;s a condition left out from the discussion - and this condition has personally been my secret measurement for men&#8217;s greatness: and <strong>that is the ability to change to the better.</strong></p><p>Epsteinism kind of intellectualism does not necessarily lead to '&#8220;growth&#8221;, it just leads to an important trait in the elite circles: <em>the capacity to give the IMPRESSION that one is knowledgeable</em>, wise, deep - these folks have an answer to every topi, Satan is super argumentative he even debated divine power and that&#8217;s why he ended up being sent down as a fallen spirit: Satan is not stupid, it&#8217;s a highly advanced intelligence, but an intelligence that is evil and never leads to any self reflection.</p><p>I have been measuring people in my life by the intangible asset of &#8220;growth&#8221;, and I&#8217;ll just say VERY few register in my innerscope as &#8220;great people&#8221; because VERY few have proven this rare capacity.</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;The measure of intelligence is the ability to change&#8221;</strong></em> - Albert Einstein, another &#8220;one&#8221; of them, a man who may have created the quote but has never lived by it.</p><p>Einstein had stolen all of his theories from his wife, after her death, not a single theory was advanced. His entire scientific persona was manufactured, proving once again that the ultimate sign of spiritual awareness is GROWTH, not publicity, not &#8220;5000 books ordered from Amazon&#8221;. </p><p>As a mentor to the world&#8217;s most brilliant people, I constantly aim for CHANGE, not volume of superficial knowledge, and so those close to me really have to keep up and update their &#8220;knowing&#8221; of me constantly, because I sure won&#8217;t be the same in 1 month, that&#8217;s the only promise I always live up to. </p><p>Intellectualism has long been disconnected from the feminine gender, the Epsteins throughout history have marketed heavily that intellect is masculine, guess why? because Satan knows once the feminine is empty, they can prey on both men AND women at once. It is very inconvenient for the dark agendas to accept that men could have truly intelligent partners, because they&#8217;d wake them up.</p><p>So they flooded the &#8220;knowledge&#8221; market with &#8220;how-to&#8221; youtube videos and dumb female coaches teaching other women how to be dumb (like that movie dumb and dumber) - being stupid, irrelevant, spiritually corrupted, silent - BUT WITH GREAT FAKE BOOBS is textbook &#8220;high value woman&#8221; coaching these days.</p><p>Stupid corrupted women are the only ones you can bribe with 200$ to your Epstein island. The average Arab parent would kick your ass for having accepted 1$ from a stranger, let alone go on entire secret journeys to some creep&#8217;s house because you want 200$. Something the media isn&#8217;t currently focused on, but a very legitimate question: how are these western folks raising their kids? for them to be so easily bribed? </p><p>Some enabler whores will email me about victim blaming, save your energy Karens, you know WHY you are triggered: you are the enablers cheaply bought by the Epsteins.</p><p><em>&#8220;And Satan will say &#761;to his followers&#762; after the judgment has been passed, &#8220;Indeed, Allah has made you a true promise. I too made you a promise, but I failed you. I did not have any authority over you. <strong>I only called you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; blame yourselves.</strong>&#8221; - Quran, Surah Ibrahim, Aya 22</em></p><p>This interesting verse in the Quran summarizes the Epstein situation: Among the victims, there were many who had free will, not all of them were babies nor under 18, I am speaking of the ones who knew exactly what they were doing: they were being bought by 200$ and bedazzled by the hollow intellect and shallow lifestyle of a satanist. Those who have spiritual awareness can see his evil on his face, in his eyes.</p><p>This is hard for people to do, but I invite you for once to not be a victim and ask: why was it so easy for so many to sell out to the devil so cheaply? what is it that american/russian mothers really worship that they pass on to their daughters? </p><p>In Palestine, where there&#8217;s the ultimate evil/good battle ongoing for centuries, famine, all kinds of terrible things, I bet you won&#8217;t be able to bribe anyone&#8217;s child with 200$.</p><p>Truly think about that. </p><h1>Rule N.04: How men funded the boys crisis by re-branding Jezebels as &#8220;high value&#8221; women</h1><p><em>A mother is a school, so the women men invest in, are the school they are building (or destroying) for the future.</em></p><p>Let&#8217;s talk about enabler satanic maid Nada Marcinkova : the Lolita Express pilot that would fly victims to Epstein island : she flew children (sometimes infants) knowing fully well some of them will be sacrificed and killed. </p><p>Any man reading might immediately dissociate because Epstein was doing the extremes, but just because someone is a cleaned up version of Epstein, doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re morally exempt. </p><p>Marcinkova&#8217;s father is an architect but of course, her values from her parents don&#8217;t look like the greatest: eatern europe (with exceptions of the good people there of course) has gotten re-branded as market for &#8220;high value women&#8221; because the market of white trash escorts had to continue to exist and <strong>it won&#8217;t exist without propaganda, </strong>and rich men funded this propaganda through escort economy and even marrying the Nada types.</p><p>Epstein invested in Nada&#8217;s education, not out of his beautiful black heart, but because she would employ her pilot license to serve him immediately. </p><p>How many men do we know today, from India or in Dubai, some low EQ Sheikh in Dubai with a white privilege complex - has invested in the education and elevation of a Nada Marcinkova? </p><p>These women offer silence, complicity, evil and impeccable etiquette, serving the devil&#8217;s agendas in style, they are sought after by every corrupted man on earth, because it takes real manhood to select real feminine presence, and many men can&#8217;t do that. </p><p>Instagram has made Nadas into coaches of &#8220;femininity&#8221; or &#8220;matchmakers&#8221;, it&#8217;s important for them to have webs and circles of other women like themselves to &#8220;bring to the table&#8221; because they know Epstein types want and need that. </p><p>The marketing was so heavy in the favor of Jezebels the past century as corruption rises to the top and immaterial wealth becomes scare - to the point where any average brown man with an extra 200$ in their pocket has a Marcinkova on their back and call: <strong>they have become any brown man&#8217;s God :</strong> they get the bags, gifts, travels, education investments for the exchange of collapsing boyhood, manhood, values and homes altogether.</p><p><strong>Jezebels live for themselves</strong>, a child to them is just prop for society or a way to secure child support, they can&#8217;t care less about values, they replaced them with goals, even at the cost of killing infants.</p><p>This is called &#8220;energy inversion&#8221; - when the bad gets rewarded and the good gets tested.</p><p>I can personally testify for that, as someone who is thoughtful, giving, deep and has love for children and traditional values: ironically the men used to easily investing in Jezebels, would try to test the very women who would protect children and their legacy. </p><p>I personally realized men were testing themselves through the good women, they try to see if their goodness is still there, and that fight of evil vs good inside of them often played out in their &#8220;testing&#8221; of their actual desire: the woman who is neither sleep nor easily corrupted by an Hermes.</p><p>Nadas are never questioned: they get it all and hand it to the devil. Real women with spiritual presence on the other hand, have a different Dharma, they swap Hermes for waking up their masculine counterpart and saving him from the grip of darkness, and that is no pleasant journey, it is prophetic almost, not for the faint hearted. It is pure and has no tropheys except pure love.</p><p>One of the videos in the Epstein case that had me sick to my stomach, was one of these Jezebels, whose entire life was built on the back of &#8220;donations&#8221; from dark men, she had brought her infant to Epstein and stood outside his bedroom as he raped her screaming baby.</p><p>That&#8217;s the women you- dear powerful men - are calling high value, flying around the world, investing in their education/businesses? that&#8217;s the women you want at the top of our moral authority? </p><p>Because that is who they are and we can&#8217;t and shouldn&#8217;t ever move on from this Epstein case, EVER.</p><p>As a collective, we are at a dangerous crossroads for humanity and our investments are a language: where our money goes is WHO WE ARE. </p><p><em>Warren Buffet said </em></p><p><em>"Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of <strong>reputation</strong> for the firm, and I will be ruthless &#8221;  - </em>When <em><strong>you get</strong></em> old, he says, <em><strong>you</strong></em> got the <em><strong>reputation you</strong></em> deserve."</p><p>This doesn&#8217;t apply simply to individuals, it applies to the collective.</p><p>It is time we become ruthless about immaterial wealth because what Warren named as &#8220;reputation&#8221; for individuals is called HISTORY for the collective</p><p>And I refuse that Epsteinism is how we as a collective are going down in History.</p><p>Save little boys today, stop funding any and every economy that kills our children, they are divine light and creativity on earth, they are the closest to God and their birth is God saying he&#8217;s not yet discouraged by our wrongdoings, let&#8217;s get it right.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.immaterialwealth.co/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Immaterial Wealth Education!

and how come the average man, the nouveau riche and basically every man below king status, chooses from the mainstream decorated shell market? </p><p>My research and my personal life experiences (as a woman who got proposed to by a Duke from the byzantine lineage) showed me this:</p><p>Kings have a long-standing tradition to educate their heirs about Immaterial Wealth as the ultimate luxury asset in a woman, the rest which the instagram and tiktok women obsess over, is only details that can easily be acquired with a mentor (etiquette, royal style, public relations or even foreign policy..) but the identity level immaterial wealth can not be acquired as easily.</p><p>This is why you&#8217;ll find your Saadia Khan - the exposed Dubai escort, side chick to a married man AND simultanousely &#8220;high value woman coach&#8221; and her likes teaching similar things assembled from the ocean of empty shells:</p><p><em>Do not cook, you&#8217;re high value, be useless, have the right bags and sit at a lounge of a hotel at 7pm everyday because you obviously don&#8217;t have a life. </em></p><p>This magical formula has been sold to millions who clearly believe they are better than Queen Rania if they simply don&#8217;t cook.</p><p>Then comes the worst part of the shell economy: Asia joins the conversation.</p><p>Now Chinese seduction coaches in particular don&#8217;t know who to become: should they learn bellydance to lure in a Sheikh in Dubai or should they follow every korean skincare doctor available, or should they just buy more H&#233;rmes, WAY more, to prove to the others how serious they are about becoming the top of pyramid of the Shell Economy.</p><p>Unfortunately, they have not yet answered the questions above, some of them got lucky enough to be my clients and they are in an immaterial wealth education immersion, a full detox from the world they know. </p><p>It is a form of insanity to believe you&#8217;ll ever a quality of life that surpasses your level of wisdom, so many men are waking up to that, including the retired heart throbs such as Brad Pitt who discovered the Nirvana later in life: marry outside of your circle altogether because if you do what you always did, you get what you always got.</p><p>These men who have seen the world, had fame and were wildly successful but did not have the King unfair privilege to be educated on Immaterial Wealth Women, are all realizing that SUKUN (my philosophy, meaning Peace on a deep internal level) can only be lived with a real woman by their side. </p><p>The realization took their entire life to get to, but you got this article which can serve as a shortcut.</p><p>Immaterial Wealth in a woman is a man&#8217;s ultimate luxury asset and the biggest flex of his life, next to the fact that these men get re-positioned as respected alphas in our society which desperately needs happier men with traditional values and women who love them in silence away from the TikTok peasants. </p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.immaterialwealth.co/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Immaterial Wealth Education!

digital trends that erase motherhood, reward avoidance and OnlyFans influencers and distort masculine identity from the inside out, leading to the male loneliness pandemic and a massive boys crisis.</h4><p><em>&#8220;Paying an escort is not a neutral private act. It&#8217;s funding the same economy that&#8217;s killing boyhood.&#8221; - Eman Bensalem.</em></p><p>If you exist and you have an instagram account, then you can&#8217;t avoid the trending mainstream mind pollution disguised as &#8220;high value woman&#8221; coaching, which speaks to a very specific niche: the new age glorified gold-digger re-branded as &#8220;escort&#8221;, a term the elites created to avoid calling it what it is: prostitution.</p><p>This type of knowledge attracts a wide audience, men who want to &#8220;protect themselves&#8221; from gold diggers and women who want to be that. Instagram&#8217;s algorithm rewards anything that creates controversy and you almost can never go &#8220;viral&#8221; unless you are buying into this culture.</p><h3>Who funds the escort economy for it to become instagram&#8217;s favorite money machine?</h3><p>Before we talk about who funds the very culture that created the boys crisis AND the man loneliness pandemic, let&#8217;s first talk about the why:</p><p>In a world where elite men pride themselves on taste, discretion, and power, what remains utterly unregulated is their emotional nervous system.</p><p>And nowhere does that failure become more visible than in the quiet normalization of escort culture: the seemingly harmless placebo that gets you a 24 year old russian at the rate of 400$, allowing middle class men, average men, high status men alike to find a new drug, a symptom for something far more serious and side effects that surpass that 400$ investment by billions of dollars and even human loss: suicide among youth and the end of traditional values.</p><p>This is not a post about sex.</p><p>It&#8217;s about the invisible emotional architecture of men, and what happens when they wire their nervous systems to avoid closeness, reward manipulation, and replace the warmth of true care and love with transactional ephemeral presence.</p><p>Escorts are not neutral.</p><p>They are a symptom &#8212; a dangerous one &#8212; of a deeper fracture in the masculine nervous system:</p><p>When the alpha leaders of the world that our little boys looked up to once upon a time, become the ones who reward the loss of traditional values, then they are teaching little boys to do the same.</p><h3>Emotional Avoidance Is Generationally Transmitted</h3><p>This isn&#8217;t just about men.</p><p>It&#8217;s about the boys they&#8217;re supposed to raise and the fact that they cannot simultaneously hold their dignified respected place in our society all while funding the culture that aims to kill boyhood.</p><p>A man who relies on dopamine hits and praise-for-hire isn&#8217;t building emotional literacy: He&#8217;s rewiring his system to fear emotional presence. <a href="https://21711fe1.streak-link.com/CvS8ZQwwMEpBjF74JQwOTLeL/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBody-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma%2Fdp%2F0143127748">The Body Keeps The Score </a>book explains scientifically how the body programs itself to what&#8217;s familiar, not what&#8217;s healthy or even desired.</p><p>And when the leaders our boys need to look up become the same ones who pass down:</p><p>&#8226; Avoidant attachment.</p><p>&#8226; Hyper-performance.</p><p>&#8226; Addiction to transactional relationships at the cost of peace</p><p>&#8226; And a quiet terror of real emotional intimacy that peaks everytime real love approaches their field</p><p>then our little boys learn to disconnect early on and these are the traits killing noble boyhood and the very roots of the boy&#8217;s crisis.</p><h4><em>Men cannot raise a confident son if they&#8217;re allergic to intimacy themselves and have not yet proven bravery by leading a life where they are loved, respected and placed as the center of a family and as a role model for little boys.</em></h4><h1>The ultimate success in the elite world, is immaterial wealth:</h1><h4>How does emotional bankruptcy destroy the potential dream life elite men could have had with the right immaterial wealth education?</h4><h3>Case Study: Johnny Depp &amp; the Wound That Chose Amber Heard</h3><p>Let&#8217;s talk about a man beloved by the world, articulate, charismatic, with an elite career and yet, publicly humiliated in the most emotionally complex breakups of the decade. This might seem unthinkable to most that out of all people he chose to MARRY an escort, drunkie, junkie, man-abuser, beater, psychologically deranged woman, BUT HEY SHE LOOKED GOOD ON CAMERA when she is quiet. That right there, is what escort culture teaches men: she could be a trainwreck, but if she looks alright to the outside, you bet she will be selected for the exact negative traits a healed nervous system would find unthinkable.</p><p>Back to Johnny Depp:</p><p>What most people missed in Johnny Depp&#8217;s trial was the echo of his childhood:</p><p>Depp admitted on the stand: his mother was the abuser.</p><p>His father was the quiet one. The absent protector.</p><p>He grew up inside a home where love came wrapped in fear and violence.</p><p>Amber Heard was the ideal choice to repeat that story even later in his life, because when the placebo of first class trips, awards and escorts are available, you don&#8217;t think of &#8220;working on yourself&#8221;, you&#8217;ll work on yourself differently through actual experience, because the nervous system will attract what is familiar <strong>until what&#8217;s familiar is consciously changed by your willpower</strong>, like Prince Harry did: the Great Escape from trauma into fatherhood and stability.</p><p>Amber Heard was a repetition of the mother archetype because the nervous system doesn&#8217;t chase love : It chases what it knows UNTIL WE EXPOSE IT TO WHAT IT NEEDS TO KNOW, such as love, trust, intimacy and care to rewire it to a new favorable story.</p><h4><strong>Escorts, Algorithms, and the Collapse of Motherhood</strong></h4><p>Whenever a man funds the escort economy, they&#8217;re enabling a global media machine that now markets femininity as either manipulative or for sale. Because that is what gets rewarded: get &#8220;the look&#8221;, the fillers, the duck lips, the inflated breasts, some photos in Monaco and Dubai, and you&#8217;re set as &#8220;high value woman&#8221;.</p><p>As one of the Gods of the gold digger movement - Sheravesen - teaches:</p><p>Don&#8217;t cook for men, don&#8217;t raise your own kids if he can buy a nanny, don&#8217;t entertain him emotionally and leave the second there&#8217;s a richer man in the picture.</p><p>Millions of women applaud her, follow her teachings to the point where MOST women are now identical in behavior: they all drink matcha, do pilates, never pick up a book, watch Sheraseven and the few escorts that graduated to &#8220;married&#8221; status, are the ones with a lifestyle blog and unboxing YouTube videos, because the &#8220;husband&#8221; is still unavailable in their &#8220;marriage&#8221;, usually facilitated by matchmaking agencies, the go-to choice for escorts to recycle themselves and the check-list choice of men who fear love.</p><p>TikTok trends. OnlyFans bios. Red pill podcasts : They all share one operating system funded by the same men who buy escorts.</p><p>Motherhood is now optional. Emotional literacy is perceived as weakness or unnecessary work. Sex is a transaction glorified by the algorithms and the economy behind it.</p><p>This is why elite men feel lonelier than ever.</p><p>Because they&#8217;ve bought into the performance of affection &#8212; and disconnected from the nervous system required to receive love unconditionally, be in its presence and try to allow it (it serves as a form of &#8220;exposure therapy&#8221; that heals the nervous system).</p><h4>The Moral Accounting Is Real</h4><p>Prostitution is not neutral.</p><p>It&#8217;s not &#8220;high-class&#8221; just because you dress it in Louboutins and NDAs or even because you &#8220;married&#8221; into a life where you are still an escort instead of a woman who heals the masculine and herself, for the sake of the next generation of boys who are watching&#8230;</p><p>It never ends at the man.</p><p>It filters down into the sons he doesn&#8217;t connect to, the women he doesn&#8217;t trust, and the worldview that teaches intimacy is a threat.</p><h4>If You&#8217;re a Man Reading This&#8230;</h4><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png" width="32" height="32" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:32,&quot;width&quot;:32,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&#129517;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="&#129517;" title="&#129517;" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_5Ow!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F60a393e3-fc7c-49e8-bc04-b1740dbd7697_32x32.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>You&#8217;re not being asked to confess.</p><p>You&#8217;re being asked to awaken.</p><p>Your nervous system was not built to perform for love.</p><p>It was built to hold it.</p><p>And the next generation of men &#8212; the boys watching your choices &#8212; won&#8217;t inherit your bank account.</p><p>They&#8217;ll inherit your emotional template : What you reward becomes what they become.</p><h5>So let&#8217;s reward love, presence and de-throne the economy that created the boys crisis.</h5><p></p><p><em>Thank you for reading, if you liked this first Issue of Immaterial Weath Education, make sure to subscribe for the upcoming articles.

feminine love that flows like water through you, and that you found a man full of masculine fire who has no idea how to quench his desire, be his river jordan, and let him quench his desire, because all the firey women in the world gathered together cannot offer that. </p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Magic Is Always Out Of
