March 03, 2021 08:01 - 12 minutes - 17.3 MBIn a cultural moment when masculinity is being demonized and vilified in unprecedented ways, cracks in the narrative are starting to form.

February 24, 2021 08:01 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MBIn this episode, Reclaim your Inner Throne Founder Eivind F. Skjellum takes you into a challenging conversation around the ways mothers castrate and manipulate sons to make them serve their needs.

This is a conversation about extracting ourselves from the realm of Mother and discovering the beauty of Manhood. T...
#22: Embrace the Unknown, Brother! (A Meditation)
February 23, 2021 07:41 - 16 minutes - 22.4 MBIn these strange times, it's hard to know what is going on. In our attempts to keep the confusion of the unknown at bay, many men sedate themselves - or give away their sovereignty to those they imagine DO know. In these liminal times, this is a guaranteed way to misery. Instead, suggests Eivind, we must surrender our need for control, embrace the Unknown, and discover in those places an intimacy with all of Creation. And in that place, a new Vision will reveal itself. Enjoy this...
#21: Healthy Intimate Relationships are Crucibles for Sovereignty
February 22, 2021 08:08 - 17 minutes - 23.9 MBIn this Episode, Eivind continues the complex and nuanced inquiry into intimate relationship and its role in facilitating sovereignty.

February 18, 2021 07:28 - 12 minutes - 16.7 MBIn this Episode, Eivind explores a recent situation in his life where a conflict between his Empathy and what he truly Desired arose. This is an exploration of a theme that surfaces in the lives of Men who have an unhealthy inflation of the Lover archetype, which in turn leads to them consistently not getting what they truly want in life, out of fear of hurting others (repressed Warrior). Highly relevant for many of you. To join the Telegram Podcast Community, go to www.inner-tr...
#18: The Price of Pursuing Sovereignty
February 17, 2021 08:02 - 14 minutes - 20.4 MBDear Brother, as you begin to rise a sovereign man, the people you once associated with may start objecting. For the path of Reclaiming your Inner Throne is a Path less Traveled, and it is an unfortunate fact that even today, the majority of people would rather stay enslaved by their wounds and triggers as full on victims of circumstance. Eivind assumes you're listening to him because sovereignty is your ultimate wish, and whether as a friend, partner or leader, Eivind explores wha...

February 16, 2021 08:24 - 14 minutes - 20 MBToday, Eivind explores the dynamics of Expansion and Contraction and how they relate to us rising in our lives. It turns out there is no Expansion without a confrontation with our fear and suffering, and that the Covid-19 times we are in naturally pull us towards Contraction, which for most people will lead to disembodiment, addiction etc, though for some to breakthroughs into Soul. Eivind also shares a big and transformational event that occurred last night. To join the Podcast ...

#14: The Practice of Reaching for God
February 11, 2021 07:58 - 11 minutes - 16.1 MBAs Eivind has been exploring the human struggle to be close to God this week, today he explores how it is in fact a practice. Much like working out, playing the piano, or tantric lovemaking, deepening our connection to the sacred, in whatever way it appears for us, requires work. And he argues that if we want to be sovereign, that is work that we will need to take on, to humble ourselves and safeguard us from the risks of tyranny, our own and that of others.

In this episode, discover the tension between this Creature and the Creator, and an invitation to start integrating the two, as you move towards greater wholen...
#12: "Feeling useful" makes a Man
February 09, 2021 08:08 - 16 minutes - 22.4 MBIn this Episode, Eivind reflects on something a Brother said to him recently about feeling useful. Back in the woods around Oslo, he shares on the struggles men share when we feel like we don't matter to anyone. Since this experience is increasingly common amongst men, it's vital that we find new ways to be useful. How do you feel useful, Brother? Explore this with Eivind today.
#11: Why Sovereignty demands we serve God
February 08, 2021 08:01 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MBIn this episode, Eivind reflects on how the sun that's been shining above his head on every podcast episode is symbolically associated with a transcendent principle of divinity, sovereignty and seeing. He makes the contentious argument that we're all destined for tyranny lest we are willing to bow down to a larger transpersonal reality, serving God in whatever way shape or form we define Him/Her/It (and perhaps all of them). Enjoy this episode, and make sure to join the podcast c...

February 05, 2021 08:01 - 13 minutes - 18.5 MBIn this episode, Eivind shares about a moment of reconciliation with former co-creator Sarah Poet, where they had the opportunity to lay down their swords and bridge the divide between them.

#8: Your Primal Self
February 03, 2021 08:01 - 17 minutes - 23.9 MBIn this episode, Eivind unpacks the Primal Self, in the form of the Creature & the Child which live inside of you. This is a challenging conversation that will lay bare some of the troubling consequences of the obsession with trauma and vulnerability our society currently experiences. For without claiming the savage, raw force of the Creature, the Child inside of us will feel helplessly exposed, and no amount of legislation or policing will ever make us feel safe. In other words,...
#7: White Knight Wickedness
February 02, 2021 08:01 - 13 minutes - 18.5 MBBefore a man has learned to integrate his animal instincts, he will be a passive aggressive, shaming, manipulative white knight. Such a man is equally as dangerous as a brutal thug, for he is desperately incongruent with himself. His behaviours in the world are completely out of alignment with his self-image, and in this podcast, Eivind shares about an encounter with such a White Knight - remembering in the process that he once was one (see episode #4). This is an episode with fir...
