The Judas Kiss + Cardinal Sin of Loyalty

I’m going to start off by breaking down the LifeSkills Section on MXyMAG.com, the section is designed to house every article that contributes to manhood, better men for the women.

The vision is to make it so rich with information on life itself, that reading through most of the articles elevates your to a wealthier way of thinking. Enough wealth to attract and comprehend the women, the toys and the successful business men we cover on this website.

As of this writing there are 5 chapters in LifeSkills. The chapters I am focussed on right now is Man of Science man of Faith, MOFMOS looks at the relationship man has with science or faith, MOFMOS is a spiritual companion to The Defiant King, TDK looks at the warrior and his defiance to failure, a warrior goes above and beyond what he is able to give in order to attain the unattainable. A warrior by force of nature eventually gets a following, they believe in what he fights for, that following crowns him King. A modernized version of the king is the boss.

A good boss surrounds himself with generals he needs not to command. A good CEO surrounds himself with executives that he never needs to command. The only time rank truly (should) exists is when both parties are at a philosophical disagreement, but at that point the general is free to leave, and this is where the article Judas Kissed Me on The Right Cheek comes in.

Judas Kissed Me was about loyalty, and which better story to tell than the betrayal of Jesus? Here you had a man who was the founder and CEO of Christianity, he had his vision for the corporation, and his Chief Financial Officer was Judas.

Judas initially came in believing in that vision, changed his mind along the way. Changes amongst friends are to be expected, we interpret things differently, and the way we see things affects the way we grow in to our behaviours and therefore as individuals we can’t be loyal to each other it’s a sin or rather yet, an error in how one can perceive loyalty… the sins of loyalty are expecting people to be loyal to us, but we should put our ego out of it.

When we look at the relationship of Jesus versus Judas as a business story then one can see where the CEO and founder of the first social media Christianity made his error. The story as I see it shows that Judas and Jesus grew apart, and by extension because Judas grew away from the man he also lost his loyal ties to the corporation, he sold out Christianity Inc for what he thought was a better corporate entity, Roman Empire.

How many of us have ever been kissed by Judas? In the article I go on to explain that there comes a moment when you’re reflecting and realize exactly when this person kissed you, and that’s when the feeling of betrayal synchs in, when that happens though, we can’t get mad, and that is one of the points of Jesus dying on the cross. An important passage in the story is Jesus praying to an angry thunderstorm, “Forgive them father, for they don’t know what they do!” Forgiveness because they don’t know what they do.

If an animal bites you, it is because it is an animal and it doesn’t know any better, therefore you cannot get emotionally involved in its reasoning and you cannot specifically take it personal.

The animal… or Judas in this case is defined as the face of ALL the people who betrayed us.

In context to business or any type of system that is governed by more than 1 person, loyalties have to be well defined. Loyalty has to be towards the betterment of the system, even if you disagree with each other. At that point if the King has selected the right general then disagreements are really just rooms for innovation.

Judas was in charge of the money in the corporate entity that Jesus set up, and along the lines when he lost faith he lost loyalty towards Jesus, and he made a business deal for a lot of money at that time (don’t forget inflation) and it was with the Roman Empire.
