4/10 Freedom in the Cipher
Today’s Mathematics for
April 10th (4/10):
Culture/Freedom in the Cipher
4 - Culture/Freedom
10 – Cipher
Peace.
Today is 4/10, the tenth day of the fourth month— So today’s mathematics is:
Culture/Freedom in the Cipher
• 4 – Culture/Freedom
• 10 – Cipher
4 – Culture/Freedom
Culture is the way we live, the manifestation of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in motion. It is our walk, our talk, our traditions, our values. When properly lived, culture brings freedom—not just freedom from physical chains, but mental, spiritual, and creative liberation. It is the expression of the divine self, embodied in righteous living.
Culture is both mirror and map—reflecting where we are, and guiding where we may go. In Supreme Mathematics, when one’s culture is aligned with truth, freedom is inevitable, because falsehood cannot chain the enlightened.

10 – Cipher
Cipher represents completion, a 360-degree circle—wholeness, totality, and infinite potential. It is the womb of understanding, the environment, the cycle of life. Within the cipher, all things move and return, like stars in their courses or thoughts in the mind.
To enter the cipher consciously is to become aware of all that is present: knowledge (1) entering the cipher (0) gives birth to understanding. Cipher also reflects the power of environment—that we become what we surround ourselves with.
⸻
Today calls us to live our culture consciously, to embody our truth in the fullness of our environment. Ask: Is my cipher cultivating my highest expression? The fusion of culture and cipher teaches us that when our lifestyle is rooted in truth, we move freely within the circle of life. We complete ourselves.
In symbolic form, you might envision this as a circle (cipher) filled with patterns of light representing your lived truth (culture). The clearer your culture, the brighter your cipher becomes.
Peace to the Gods and Earths. The Iron Mystic salutes you. 🛠️✨

You could struggle a little with balancing your personal life with the demands of the outside world early today, dear Sagittarius. However, although you can feel pulled in different directions, finding a balance is both desirable and possible. As the day advances, you'll find energies are more cooperative.
Seeking or sharing guidance can figure strongly.
While you may have had too much in the air to concentrate early today, you later find it easier to find your groove. In fact, you could feel quite passionate and craving involvement. There can be a conversation or news that helps you heal, move forward, or advance toward a special goal.

Daily Journal of The Iron Mystic— a wise and radiant presence.
Daily Jornal 4/10/25
It’s been a minute since Ive followed my morning routine.
No journaling, no daily math, no introspection at all. I
n fact it’s been a cycle of sickness and avoidance. I saw a social media post the other day that humbled me greatly in reference to sickness and healthiness.
I’ll link the clip so you can glean this info as well.
Dude was essentially saying that people who never get sick are actually just masking their illness behind high stress and sheer inertia to keep moving. As a survival mechanism.
I thought all these years of sicklessness as a testament to my strength. Thats what I needed to believe to get through the days. And get through the days I did. Priding myself on never using sick time at work. Never calling out and always being the first one in and last one out.
Im sure I gave old school managers a little stiffy with that but now that I know all I know, I see that what I have been doing is tantamount to abusing the most precious and expensive tool in the box. Ive beat the shit out of my body and hammered a shell of harness around my mind that has caused an atrophy inside of me.
While Ive spent time protecting myself, necessarily, I have also atrophied parts of me that needed sunlight and growth. My physical strength has been compromised by my mental activities. The tough guy act actually weakens you and creates a barrier between yourself, what you need, and what you actually receive.
Thats the main inertia behind all of these activities here with this blog, website and passion behind my work.
I want to write daily, share daily, so that we learn about ourselves together. So we can be the best advocates for who we are and what we really need.
I want to be a guiding light to other men who have been drinking the masculine Kool-Aid and want to now break those bonds and become the big strong men they’ve always desired to be.
We’ve been sold a bad bill of goods from Hollywood and some of the men who came before us. Whether we realize it or not but the powers that be have been advertising to us how they want us to be. Through the military, TV, movies and commercials, we’ve been told how to be as men and women.
Most of us know now that the ideal that’s been depicted to us is wrong. We’ve also learned that the hard way.
Soldier suicide.
Men just disappearing from their loved ones in a haze of rhetoric and “shoulds”.
Young boys growing up too fast yet never actually maturing mentally.
There’s been no grace given to men who feel.
There is more guidance in that regard now, but it’s recent. So recent that most of us men dont know how to express our emotions, and when we do we often feel less than a welcome reception. Even if the reception is grand, we don’t believe within ourselves that we’re upholding our masculine duties because the message has been hammered in our heads so strongly that we feel we’ve sinned in our soul.
There’s a bandwagon that a lot of us have jumped onto here with social media and the movement Im advocating for.
Men’s groups are coming up left and right. “Brothers! Let’s get together and cry!!”
I got no problem with that. Ive always been the advocate for my brothers to come to me, in their times of need, as a safe space to emote what’s needed.
I have never taken that grace and never opened up to someone unless Im in desperate, societally acceptable, need.
Which needs are societally acceptable?
Death of a family member or best friend.
Job loss -but that also has some insecurity so it’s only acceptable when youve been fired, among other caveats.
Physical injury.
And lastly a break up.
Those are some of the reasons it’s ok for a man to fall down….
There are many more reasons, as we know, but we, men, have to become the group that advocates for the normalcy of men being emotional.
Hell!
We men need to advocate for the normalcy of all humans being emotional.
Women are just as impoverished in these ways, but Im not a woman so I can only advocate for the changes I can make within myself and other men. Vicariously as we heal we heal the world we broke. We heal the women we love who we’ve hurt with our masculinity.
As a mirror and curse breaker; it starts with me.
I have to stop the patterns within myself in order to be the guise people need to see to break the habitual patterns they’ve grown to know.
It’s hard, it’s lonely and isolating, or at least it can be until others open themselves and flay away the pieces that bring them down. As a fully flayed and healing group of sentient beings, we can be remade and reborn.
We can then become the people we always should have been before toxic masculinity came in for a rule.
