In Episode 3 of Ageless Living — Creative Wellness & the Art of Alignment, Rootsgod continues the Ma’at Detox by weaving collective affirmations with the ancient Instructions of Ptahhotep to explore justice, power, and restraint as lived practices.

This episode introduces three Ma’at affirmations—

I and I honor what belongs to another.

I and I prioritize life.

I and I promote justice.

Through Instructions 3 and 4 of Ptahhotep, the conversation examines how power operates in moments of conflict—among equals and across unequal dynamics—and why silence, discernment, and self-control often preserve dignity more effectively than reaction or domination.

Rather than framing justice as loud or performative, this episode presents Ma’at as a discipline of proportion, compassion, and ethical restraint—especially when ego, status, or emotion tempt us to misuse our voice.

Key themes:

• Justice as restraint, not reactivity
• Power dynamics in conflict
• Ego, silence, and reputation
• Honoring dignity as sacred property
• Ma’at as social and ethical technology

In Episode 2 of Ageless Living, Rootsgod continues the Ma’at Detox with a deep exploration of Instruction #2 from the Teachings of Ptahhotep, focusing on self-control, power dynamics, and the wisdom of restraint.

This episode examines what it means to encounter conflict—especially with those who hold more power, authority, or influence—and why reacting in the heat of the moment often pulls us out of alignment. Through ancient instruction and modern reflection, self-control is reframed not as weakness or submission, but as emotional intelligence and strategic mastery.

Listeners are invited to reflect on reactivity, ego defense, and the modern compulsion to respond, correct, or confront—particularly in social, professional, and digital spaces. This episode reinforces Ma’at as a practice of regulation, discernment, and choosing the right moment for truth.

Key themes:

• Self-control as power
• Reactivity vs. alignment
• Power asymmetry and emotional regulation
• The cost of compulsive confrontation
• Detoxing ego-driven response patterns

In this opening episode of Ageless Living, I introduce the Ma’at Detox and reflect on the first Instruction of Ptahhotep—humility, listening, and the discipline of attention.

This episode sets the foundation for a 42-day journey into alignment, creative wellness, and embodied truth.
