Death and Life Are in the Power of the Tongue

Our words reveal what is in our hearts. Jesus taught that a good heart produces good things, while an evil heart produces evil things (Matthew 12:35). Like our actions, our words expose what is within us (Isaiah 59:2–3).

Jesus warned that we will give account for every careless word we speak (Matthew 12:36). Yet Scripture teaches that we cannot tame the tongue by our own strength, calling it "a restless evil, full of deadly poison" (James 3:8). A controlled tongue is therefore evidence of God's Spirit at work in us.

Salvation comes through Christ and His atoning work on the cross, not through perfect speech. But because our words reveal the condition of our hearts, they carry serious weight: "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:37).

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."
—Luke 6:45 (KJV)

✠ P.S. If your mouth keeps undermining the man you're trying to become, you don't just need a better filter—you need a deeper transformation. Inside The Kingdom Council 🏛️, we help men confront what their words reveal about their hearts—and grow in the Spirit-led self-control to speak with integrity. Join us.

Unconscious Competence—How Overthinking Blocks Greatness

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

True mastery begins where thinking ends.

Bruce Lee. Michael Jackson.
Different worlds. Same truth:
Don't overthink. Don't perform. Become.

At the highest level, you're not following moves or reciting steps.
You're not even doing it.

YOU ARE IT.

"Don't think. FEEL. It is like a finger pointing away to the moon.
Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."
— Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon

"Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer could make.
You have to feel. You become the bass. You become a fanfare.
You become the clarinet and the flute and the strings and the drums."
— Michael Jackson

There's no ego. No strain. No self-consciousness.
Just being. Just truth.
Just the moment, expressing itself—

THROUGH YOU.

"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.
From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."
— Commonly attributed to Bruce Lee

"I feel blessed to be the instrument through which music flows.
It's as if the song was already written—before I was born.
I'm just the vessel. It doesn't come from me.
It's God's work. I'm just the messenger."
— Michael Jackson

This is effortless, raw authenticity—received from above.
Not just in art,
but in conversation, in tension, in connection.
With people. With pressure. With women. With life.

This kind of aura doesn't push itself through.

IT FLOWS.

"I don't force it.
I just step into it.
It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow.
Every moment in the river has its song."
— Michael Jackson, Moonwalk (1988)

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water…
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup…
Water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend."
— Bruce Lee

Water doesn't resist. It adapts.
It doesn't react. It RESPONDS.
It meets reality without resistance—
and moves perfectly through it.

This is unconscious competence in motion:
Like a waking dream—fluid, present, free.

No mind. No mask. No pretense.
Just clarity. Just rhythm.
Just you—fully present.

FULLY ALIVE.

"Honestly expressing yourself—now, that is very difficult to do. It's easy to put on a show, to be cocky, or to show some fancy movement. But to experience oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly—now that, my friend, is very hard to do."
— Bruce Lee

✠ P.S. If you keep overthinking and replaying conversations where you failed to speak up, this is not thoughtfulness—it is paralysis. Overthinking does not protect men; it delays them until authority is lost. This brotherhood ends hesitation and demands decisive presence under pressure—inside The Kingdom Council 🏛️. Because a man who cannot speak with conviction gets spoken over.

From Distance to Desire: How to Make Her Miss You

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

"Hey, I was dating this girl, and she asked for space, so I went no contact for nine days. She finally reached out, saying she had changed her mind, but she seemed distant, contacting me only once every week or so. The last time she wanted to talk, I missed her call. When I called back, we talked for five minutes, and I told her we'd talk later because I was busy. Two days later, I texted her about meeting up. It's been two weeks, and I haven't heard from her. I haven't called her either because she seems distant, and I felt I should mirror her actions to maintain polarity. What should I do?"
— Jack Zamàñi, private group member

Here's some food for thought: 👉 LET HER GO 👈.

The writing is on the wall.

She's no longer invested in you.

She's no longer interested.

She no longer CARES.

Perhaps you've heard the expression, "Out of sight, out of mind."

At some point, she LOST her attraction and is now simply USING YOU for a free dopamine hit of attention and validation.

That's reality.

"Actions are the greatest indicator of intent, so judge by actions, not words. Behavior is the only reliable evidence of motivation. By her fruits, you will recognize her."
— God Pill Maxim

Listen, I Get It...

We men are STUBBORN, forever determined to push forward—to rise to the challenge, hoping against hope—even when it defies our better judgment.

So, if you're still determined to press on, what actions can you take?

At this stage, I recommend shifting to "STRATEGIC PRESENCE."

That's right—contrary to popular opinion, it may actually be beneficial to INCREASE your presence—

—just don't become TOO present.

The key here is 👉 BALANCE 👈—

—and the good news is, there's a way to achieve it.

Here's What I Suggest

Reach out to her ONCE with something short, simple, and sweet.

Something that doesn't require investment, commitment, or even a response—just something light-hearted and fun.

Something that triggers positive emotions.

Nothing heavy.

Don't overthink it.

This is just to get the ball rolling...

After that:

⚠️ DO NOT call her.
⚠️ DO NOT text her.
⚠️ NOTHING.

Simply wait...

⚠️ ZERO CONTACT! ⚠️

"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
— Song of Solomon 2:7 (NIV)

Hear me now: A woman is like a cat; you cannot negotiate her feelings or desires.

You must "release her" and let her return of her OWN VOLITION.

If she doesn't, she lacks 👉 GENUINE DESIRE 👈—

—and it's best to AVOID women who lack genuine desire anyway.

It's an UPHILL BATTLE, and trust me—that's a hill you don't want to die on.

SO, BE PATIENT!

After planting the seed, you must give it TIME TO GROW. 🌳

It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is—so give her the gift of missing you.

Because—ultimately—the most compelling way to capture her attention is to take YOURS away.

Let your absence increase her RESPECT and HONOR—

—and only re-engage ⚠️ AFTER ⚠️ she RESPONDS.

Remember, if she's into you, she'll find a WAY; if not, she'll find an EXCUSE.

"When a woman has genuine desire, she will make it obvious; there is no guesswork."
— God Pill Maxim

Here's the CRITICAL PART

When (and if) she replies, greet her with confidence, good vibes, and positive energy.

❌ DON'T bring up the past.
❌ DON'T mention her distant behavior.
❌ DON'T ask why she took so long to respond.

There's a time and place for that, but not here.

"Women want to play the game; they don't want to be told they are playing a game."
— Red Pill Maxim

Lay off the "tactics" and don't pretend to be busy.

Simply welcome her with positivity, optimism, and good spirits—

—but don't immediately push for the meetup.

Again, DO NOT push for the meetup.

Pushing too soon will only serve to PUSH HER AWAY.

It's predictable and boring—she's seen it all before.

So, play it cool, brother.

Appeal to her emotions—

—and prove you can engage without an agenda.

"A genuine Christian is desirable by default, since his highest priority isn't women—but God."
— God Pill Maxim

Remember

Absence is a tool—

—but it's not the ONLY tool.

Balance is CRITICAL.

And you BALANCE hot and cold polarity by staying focused, patient, and silent until you hear from her ("absence")—

—but responding with engagement, positive vibes, and good spirits when you do ("presence").

This, my friend, will make her MISS YOU. 💪

"Pursuing a woman who is distant and closed off is kind of like showing up at your favorite restaurant a minute after they close. Let's say they serve until 8 p.m., and you show up at 8:01. When you walk in the door, they say something like, 'Oh, so sorry, but we're actually closed. Our kitchen is closed, so please come back tomorrow.' Now, just like in a romantic relationship, if you were in this situation in real life, it would be absolutely ludicrous and entitled to insist that you be served. It's only a minute after closing time, but it is technically after closing time. Whether it's an inch or a mile, out of bounds is out of bounds, and expecting that an exception is going to be made for you is a little narcissistic and absurd. That said, it would be just as ludicrous and entitled for the restaurant to expect that you're not going to eat until tomorrow just because their kitchen is closed. So, what do you do in this real-life situation? You say, 'Oh, absolutely, completely understand. Enjoy the rest of your night. I'm gonna see what else is open at this hour, and I'll come back another time.' And you take your hunger where people are willing to serve you. It's that simple."

How to Communicate Like a High-Value Man

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

"You have to learn how to talk and not be a nerd. You can't be nervous. You must watch your energy; you can't be too thirsty. You must know how to say the right things and lead the conversation... I have just described game."
— The God Pill

Setting the Stage for Engagement and Reconnecting
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Hey, what's up?"
  ✅ Say, "The most amazing thing just happened..."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "How have you been?"
  ✅ Say, "I've missed our conversations."
Initiating Action and Creating Opportunities
- ❌ Instead of saying, "When are you free?"
  ✅ Say, "I'm free on Tuesday or Thursday."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "What are you doing tonight?"
  ✅ Say, "I have tickets to a show this evening. Join me?"
- ❌ Instead of saying, "What do you want to do?"
  ✅ Say, "I have a plan..."
Constructive Communication and Collaboration
- ❌ Instead of saying, "I don't know what to do."
  ✅ Say, "I could use your insight on this."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "I hate my boss."
  ✅ Say, "How would you approach a situation like this?"
- ❌ Instead of saying, "I've had a bad day,"
  ✅ Say, "I've faced some hurdles, but I can't complain."
Expressing Empathy and Flexibility
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Sorry I didn't respond."
  ✅ Say, "It's been a crazy day, but I'm free now."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "What's wrong?"
  ✅ Say, "I'm here for you if you need to talk."
Positive Reframing
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Why are you so flaky?"
  ✅ Say, "I appreciate your effort, but I made other plans."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Why are you treating me this way?"
  ✅ Say, "I have rules and boundaries."
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Stop playing games."
  ✅ Say, "I enjoy a challenge."
Closing with Quiet Confidence and Grace
- ❌ Instead of saying, "Did you get my message?"
  ✅ Say, 👉 NOTHING 👈.

"If a picture is worth a thousand words, silence is worth a thousand pictures."
— The God Pill

Remember

A MAN OF ABUNDANCE never responds with bitterness, hostility, anger, or resentment—even when she's flaky or plays mind games.

Keep your emotions in check and your eyes on—

YOUR MISSION! 💪

"You shall make your mission, not your woman, the focus. When you make your woman the focus, she becomes an idol, which is sin."
— The God Pill

✠ P.S. If you are tired of overthinking every word, freezing up around women, and replaying conversations in your head, this is the truth: women do not feel attraction to hesitation—they respond to conviction. The Kingdom Council 🏛️ trains you to stop talking yourself out of the moment and start speaking with clarity, presence, and authority. Because if you cannot lead a conversation, you will not lead her.

Are You an Ignorant Idiot or an Educated Fool?

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

"It doesn't matter how smart or reasonable you are. If the opposition is too stupid to understand, you'll never win. So do not speak in the hearing of fools, for they will despise the good sense of your words. If Jesus couldn't convince them, neither will you."
— The God Pill

The Bible warns that "everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak" (James 1:19), and that "the way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice" (Prov. 12:15).

As Lao Tzu eloquently said, "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know."

So, I ask you: Are you following the way of a wise man—

—or of a FOOL? 😵‍💫

"You cannot always be right; you should try being wrong sometimes because you might learn something."
— Johnny Depp

The Idiot Test

When presented with new information, do you listen to UNDERSTAND, or do you hear to RESPOND?

Is your first impulse to:

A) Point out the EXCEPTION?

or...

B) Understand the RULE?

Now, pause and examine yourself carefully: 🔎

Are you idealistic or realistic?
Is your approach based on logic and reason or feeling and emotion?
Do you operate on probability and actuality or possibility and potentiality?
Do you embrace the norm or reach for the outlier?

Consider the time-honored phrase:

💡 "The exception proves the rule." 💡

Put another way, the exception is the reason the rule exists.

Again, the exception demonstrates why we have a rule.

And rules are 👉 IMPORTANT 👈.

"To every rule there is an exception—and an idiot ready to demonstrate it. Don't be the one!"
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
― Proverbs 18:2 (ESV)

"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet."
— Proverbs 29:9 (ESV)

Remember

What's more dangerous than believing something without evidence is rejecting the evidence in favor of what you believe.

So, sit back, relax, open your mind—

—and come to 👉 LEARN 👈, not to argue.

If your mind is already made up, my job is not to convince you; it is only to deliver the message.

"Learning without thinking is useless. Thinking without learning is dangerous."
— Confucius

"Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent."
— Proverbs 17:28 (ESV)

"And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
— Matthew 13:14-15 (KJV)

✠ P.S. If you freeze under pressure—your chest tightens, your thoughts scatter, and you surrender the moment—this is not fragility; it is emotional volatility. Pressure does not break men—it exposes who is in control. A man who governs his reactions is dangerous: calm when others panic, deliberate when others unravel. The Kingdom Council 🏛️ trains you to remain dangerous under pressure. Because the man who controls himself does not just win the moment—he owns it.

"The Road to 'Chad' Is Paved With 'Nice Guys'"

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

In other words, women make EXCUSES for "betas" and EXCEPTIONS for "alphas."

The truth is that women always make time for the men they GENUINELY DESIRE.

But if she's "terrible at checking her messages" and she's flaky, it means you're disposable.

She's not too busy to check her messages; she's too busy to check her messages—from YOU 🫵!

And when she says she's "not looking for something serious," she means she's not looking for something serious—with YOU 🫵!

So take off the rose-colored blinders—

—because when a woman has genuine desire, she will make it OBVIOUS: there is no guesswork.

Remember: if she's really into you, she'll find a way. If not, she'll find an excuse.

"If you have to 'ask,' you've already lost."
— God Pill Maxim

✠ P.S. If you are tired of mixed signals, mind games, and always feeling one step behind, this is the truth: confusion is a tactic. When you lose clarity, you lose frame. When you lose frame, you lose respect. The Kingdom Council 🏛️ is where men restore clarity and reclaim authority. Because a man who does not understand the game will always be played by it.

A Woman Will Leave You for Only One Reason…

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

...She thinks she can do better.

When a woman has "genuine burning desire" for you—whether she is your wife, girlfriend, a colleague at work, or someone you encounter at the gym—without exception, genuine desire always says "YES."

Everything else says, "I'm sorry, forgive me, I can't right now, maybe another time, I have plans, I have a boyfriend, I'm not in the mood, I'm tired, I fell down in the bathtub..." etc.

Those who know, know.

"She'll find a way if she's into you; an excuse if she's not."
— The God Pill

*Credit: @GeorgeBruno

✠ P.S. If you are worn out from the constant tests, the mind games, and the confusion that keeps you questioning your competency, it is time to reset the power dynamic. A man with conviction—CLEAR frame, CONTROLLED composure, and CALM dominance—does not get tested; he gets trusted. Step inside The Kingdom Council 🏛️—Brotherhood of Kings, where every test becomes proof she is dealing with a man she cannot control.

Heed Her Actions, Not Her Words

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

Again, heed her actions, not her words.

It's not about what she says—

—but what she DOES.

Actions express PRIORITIES—what is important to her and what is not.

So, examine her ACTIONS, not her words.

If her actions match her words—you can trust her.

If her actions do not match her words—you can't trust her.

Remember, if she's really into you, she'll find a way. If not, she'll find an excuse.

It's that simple.

When a woman has genuine desire, she will make it OBVIOUS: there is no guesswork.

"A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thornbushes, and grapes are not picked from bramble bushes. A good [woman] produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil [woman] produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What [she] says flows from what is in [her] heart."
— Luke 6:43-45 (NLT)

✠ P.S. If you are tired of mixed signals, mind games, and never knowing where you stand with women, face the reality. Confusion keeps a man reactive, insecure, and off-frame. Men get played when they surrender clarity and refuse to lead. The Kingdom Council 🏛️—Brotherhood of Kings is where men lead from authority and reclaim frame—rather than chasing validation within hers. Because men who do not lead get led.
