=== Primordial Beast Insights (03:13) ===

[00:00:04]  Hello Laddingtons, I'm checking in from half-frozen Scandinavia.
[00:00:09]  I'm checking in with some important insights.
[00:00:12]  So as you might have seen, if you follow me on Instagram, Jutoname Nutrition and Telegram, just released the Primordial Beasts Treasure, which I thought was an epic name for the product.
[00:00:27]  And I thought to talk a bit about the concept of the Primordial Beast.
[00:00:33]  Talk a bit about testosterone, Thumos, and the primordial spirit that lives inside all or well most men.
[00:00:47]  It should live within most men.
[00:00:49]  But before I begin to talk about the actual concept, I would just like to talk briefly about the product at hand.
[00:00:56]  You know, I have declined quite a few offers of sponsorships as of late, so I at least want to promote my own products.
[00:01:07]  So basically, the Primordial Beast's treasure is not something you absolutely need.
[00:01:12]  You know, I talk about it's mandatory to read Dauntless.
[00:01:16]  It absolutely is, you should read it.
[00:01:18]  But the products, so Varulsbrugd Werewolf Brew, it's a pre-workout product.
[00:01:24]  You know, if you don't take it, it's absolutely not something you need.
[00:01:27]  You don't need a pre-workout product to get jacked.
[00:01:30]  For me, it's a pleasure of life, just the same as coffee.
[00:01:33]  You know, you can live without coffee, no issue whatsoever.
[00:01:37]  You can also train and make great gains without a pre-workout.
[00:01:41]  So if you are short on cash, don't spend money on it.
[00:01:46]  But if you want something extra to enhance your training experience, yeah, by all means, you can try out werewolf brew.
[00:01:55]  I take it myself before every training.
[00:01:57]  Now, at least every gym session when I can train a bit earlier in the day.
[00:02:01]  If I train some grappling or something that's later in the evening, I don't take it.
[00:02:06]  And also, I don't need to hype myself up as much before a martial arts session.
[00:02:12]  Then we have Glycine Goblin.
[00:02:15]  You can take a scoop of glycine before bed, experience, maybe experience some nice dreams or just some deeper sleep.
[00:02:24]  Again, this is not something you need.
[00:02:26]  You know, the best sleep comes from taking care of your overall life.
[00:02:32]  So have solid sleeper chins.
[00:02:34]  But I've made a video on sleep before.
[00:02:36]  But glycine can be good to relax the nervous system and help you sleep deeper.
[00:02:43]  Then of course zinc and vitamin D. Vitamin D I do definitely recommend that you take during this time of year when you can't access so much sun.
[00:02:54]  And then of course zinc can be used to optimize your immune system and redress a low testosterone.
[00:03:01]  So anyway if you're interested also a good way to support me support the channel first link in the description box below for all Americans first time you can use your name nutrition supplements.
[00:03:14]  So yeah go ahead and check it out.

=== Gods of Testosterone (02:14) ===

[00:03:18]  Now, first and foremost, we have something called thumos, and I will paraphrase the late and great French historian, Dominique Venner, when he in an interview I have shared this quote before because it's so epic, so this is the best description of what thumos is, in my view at least.
[00:03:44]  Some people might disagree, but you know, it's a, it's a Greek word, it's a Greek concept, and the mos, and I quote, is the need for glory that pulls men up to the height of gods.
[00:03:58]  Originally in French, of course, but that is a good description of what Thumos is: the need for glory that pulls men up to the height of gods.
[00:04:12]  And of course, you can translate Thumos into other things as well.
[00:04:17]  You know, an aggressive yearn for recognition and a masculine innate desire to fight or to fight for something.
[00:04:28]  It doesn't have to be a physical fight, but it is connected.
[00:04:33]  And it's also, I'm going off on a tangent here.
[00:04:36]  I am just out in nature talking some philosophy.
[00:04:42]  I'm not a priest, I am not of that caste.
[00:04:46]  But if I'm just thinking about it, it's similar to how Thor is in Norse mythology.
[00:04:54]  You know, you have Tur, which is the god of war.
[00:04:58]  Thor is not a god of war, but he has martial prowess anyway.
[00:05:03]  He has something else, he's a protector.
[00:05:06]  He symbolizes male strength, and also I would say thumos.
[00:05:13]  So that's an interesting comparison if you have something that isn't quite related to war, but it is there anyway.
[00:05:22]  And of course, the biological component I would say is testosterone.
[00:05:28]  So Thor, as I see it, is a god of testosterone.

=== The Primordial Beast (09:34) ===

[00:05:32]  The primordial beast, I would say, translated into a hormone or something, you know, a material thing would also be testosterone.
[00:05:42]  And also, of course, another concept which you have stumbled upon if you have read Dauntless is the primordial truth, which is basically the biological reality that underpins everything.
[00:05:55]  So it's the teachings or the laws of or the laws of Mother Nature herself.
[00:06:01]  Now, anyway, finally, let's get on to the actual topic of the primordial beast.
[00:06:09]  Who or what is the primordial beast?
[00:06:12]  Yes, it is a sensation.
[00:06:14]  And if you have it within you, that sensation, you of course want to make the presence as strong as possible.
[00:06:23]  It should be there, but due to the modern world, the primordial beast within us is very dormant.
[00:06:33]  And I will take one example to explain this in the best possible way.
[00:06:37]  You know, I always talk about porn because it's such a pervasive thing in our society.
[00:06:44]  You know, all guys have watched porn, many guys have been addicted, many guys have been addicted for a long time.
[00:06:52]  And when you have watched a lot of porn and you're then intimate with a woman, it will be harder for you to let the primordial beast take control.
[00:07:05]  And I do feel a bit awkward here talking about intimate matters on in front of a large audience on YouTube, but it's important, so I need to do it.
[00:07:16]  I need to overcome the sense of awkwardness.
[00:07:19]  I need to do it to save your soul.
[00:07:23]  Okay, not save your soul, but to help you reignite your primordial beast within.
[00:07:30]  Now, of course, the optimal scenario when being intimate with a woman is to not think, it's to just be, to just act.
[00:07:39]  That will result in the highest ecstasy of intimacy.
[00:07:45]  Now, if you have watched a lot of porn, you will probably not be so easily lost in yourself.
[00:07:54]  And you know, sometimes the right place, right time, it's a good idea to completely lose yourself in the moment.
[00:08:03]  Intimacy with a woman is such a case.
[00:08:07]  But if you have watched a lot of porn, you will actively think about it.
[00:08:12]  You will actively think about what should be done.
[00:08:14]  Because if you watch a lot of porn, you might have seen, you know, they're going through the motions.
[00:08:21]  Now they have a position here, now they do this, now they do that.
[00:08:27]  And instead of thinking, you must just act.
[00:08:31]  You must just be.
[00:08:32]  And I know this sounds a bit, you know, hippie nonsense, etc.
[00:08:38]  But I'm trying to make a point.
[00:08:40]  So you have on one end of the spectrum the complete immersion of the moment.
[00:08:45]  The primordial beast takes control of you, just letting you be in the moment.
[00:08:51]  You have him or it here.
[00:08:54]  On the other side, you have your calculating brain, which is very present, which do not allow you to be immersed in the moment.
[00:09:05]  So you can think of it like this: if you have a porn addiction, it detracts from the ability of the primordial beast to completely take control and thus lowering your pleasure of sex to put it bluntly.
[00:09:22]  Excuse my crudeness, but I need to talk about it to make the point.
[00:09:27]  Another point I would like to mention.
[00:09:31]  I've talked about it before, I'll talk about it again.
[00:09:34]  I mention it quite often.
[00:09:36]  I say you must become a force of nature.
[00:09:40]  It's one of these things, it's hard to describe exactly what it is.
[00:09:45]  Same thing with the actual topic at hand.
[00:09:48]  I'm not quite sure how to formulate it.
[00:09:51]  So this video, I'm just trying to get you to think about it at least.
[00:09:56]  I can't give you the complete answer, but I can give you a sense of which direction to look in.
[00:10:04]  So when I say you should become a force of nature, it's a sensation within you which I've had a good few times in my life and it's absolutely amazing to be honest.
[00:10:17]  It's you know a sensation within you that you're just so full of power, you feel like a volcano ready to explode or something epic at least, some some force of nature, unstoppable.
[00:10:36]  It's similar to the sensation of the primordial beast as well.
[00:10:40]  And you can get this when you lift heavy in the gym.
[00:10:44]  Deadlifts for example.
[00:10:47]  You know you pull a very heavy weight and it doesn't matter the actual weight it's about it's heavy for you you achieve a new best in the gym that's the that is what counts that you overcome yourself and you feel the rush of accomplishment you feel the The primordial spirit within you,
[00:11:08]  the primordial beast coming to the fore, helping you, just urging you to get the weight up, urging you to overcome yourself.
[00:11:18]  And once you have become acquainted with the primordial beast, it will be easier to get that sensation, get that sensation more times.
[00:11:30]  So, and that's also, I would say, one of the reasons going to the gym is so addicting if you do it the right way.
[00:11:37]  When you constantly overcome yourself and you have that sensation of raw power within you, that's also the primordial beast.
[00:11:45]  So, you have in the bed chamber, you can feel its presence taking control.
[00:11:51]  When you do a deadlift and give everything you have, you can also feel the presence of the primordial beast.
[00:11:58]  Now, of course, this is you know a spiritual talk, but there is also, of course, some biology that goes into it.
[00:12:07]  Talking about testosterone if you want to optimize your testosterone and thus also optimizing the chances of your primordial beast to be to be present within you.
[00:12:21]  You, of course, have to look you have to look at your lifestyle.
[00:12:25]  Do you sleep enough?
[00:12:26]  Do you get out in nature enough?
[00:12:28]  Do you train?
[00:12:29]  Do you eat well?
[00:12:30]  Do you eat a lot of fats?
[00:12:31]  Do you eat a lot of good, wholesome food, or do you not?
[00:12:39]  Are you a new male who views everything as a joke?
[00:12:44]  Do not take care of yourself?
[00:12:46]  Yeah, then the primordial beast will probably not bless you with his presence.
[00:12:51]  But if you try to live in a way that allows for your primordial beast to have a presence within you, yeah, he will come to the fore more often and it will feel good for you, I promise you, when you have that sensation.
[00:13:04]  And of course, I say the primordial beast because it sounds epic.
[00:13:08]  I'm sure a lot of guys know exactly what I'm talking about, but they have another word for it and another concept.
[00:13:15]  So there's nothing, so there is nothing really new I'm talking about here.
[00:13:18]  It's nothing no revolutionary new insight.
[00:13:22]  It's just I'm putting an epic word on an epic fill, an epic sensation.
[00:13:28]  That is what I'm doing here.
[00:13:30]  And again, I'm trying to motivate you into living such a lifestyle because it is a good, very rewarding lifestyle.
[00:13:38]  And when I see guys who are, shall we say, unfit to have a strong primordial beastly presence, it breaks my heart.
[00:13:49]  You know, when I see someone in his face, I see he's not well.
[00:13:54]  It breaks my heart because I know that guy could have lived a happier and healthier and freer life.
[00:14:00]  A life more fulfilling and in touch with our primordial roots.
[00:14:07]  So, anyway, thank you for bearing with me as I rambled on.
[00:14:11]  I don't know if any of it made any sense at all, but there you have it.
[00:14:15]  If you ask what is or who is the primordial beast, then of course you want to visualize how he might look.
[00:14:25]  Just picture any high testosterone mythological beast can be a werewolf, a minotaur, anything really.
[00:14:34]  So, yeah, that is my insights for the day.
[00:14:40]  So, there are a lot of topics, and they always end up with the same answer: what to do.
[00:14:48]  So, again, I repeat myself.
[00:14:49]  I know I always say it, but I have to repeat myself because I know it's still so common.
[00:14:55]  So, stop watching porn, go to the gym, make sure to sleep, make sure to eat in a good way.
[00:15:04]  So, thank you for watching XXO.
