In reality these men cannot help us if they are not helping themselves with their emotions. You can not relate to anyone if you are not vulnerable or even honest with your truth and that’s what I learned today. I will be reading your book cry like a man in order to be a good big sister and woman to all the men in my life.

    If one man tries to reach out to another man it is often either sexualized or trivialized. But there is such a thing as friendship and I think it needs to be rediscovered. And it's o.k. for men to love their male friends. If we can do that we'll be more well rounded for the women in our lives.

      Absolutely agree. Nowadays everybody looks weird at you if you walk down the street with a friend. Women don't have this necessity of living a community as we men have. Men built civilizations and empires starting from the simple concept of community. Nowadays you cant have a talk with strangers in town because they think you are depraved/weird

      You should not assume that the media is a reflection of real life. It's the opposite. Many people, especially young ones, imitate the media. To be fair, the media try to sexualize female friendships too. Shipping culture has done a lot of harm, especially when it became mainstream. That said, propaganda can only do so much. Male and female friendship is very much alive and well and probabaly always will be because we can't survive otherwise.

      @@lewishowes Hey bro, I just saw this so I'm replying as soon as I became aware you had reached out. Thanks for following up and doing your due diligence to engage with your audience and use this feedback to create more empowering content.
      Honestly, I resonated with Jason on the aspects of family. My father was incarcerated when I was 3 almost 4, and the early morning he was arrested is probably my earliest conscious memory. This is when my unconscious programming began and it didn't help that he was unjustly sentenced! This put a huge strain on my family, causing my single mom to work herself pretty much into the ground as well as my older sister to grow up at a really young age--she started working around 12. I saw this growing up and now being the man of the house I wanted to help as much as I could but felt completely helpless... We were all in that cell with my dad and it took many years to clear all that density out of my system--I still am, but now I see all of this as necessary and recognize the karmic cycles of my ancestors ends here. I have the opportunity to use all this as an empowering experience to make the conscious choice, and commitment to that choice, to be the man I know I can be because of the diluted experience I had of being raised with the intensity of toxic masculinity!
      Now, I choose to use all the wisdom to prepare myself to be the Father figure I never really had but always wanted for my own son when that time comes, and the partner to the woman of my dreams to give her the love that I know she is worth--giving myself the opportunity to receive the love I know I am worth as well. So when Jason spoke on how family is a blessing it really hit home because it's something I strive to build in as healthy and spiritually conscious way as possible... Thank you so much again for doing your due diligence on spreading empowering wisdom that inspires love, honesty, transparency, vulnerability, and true sustainable strength and abundance--while taking your audience's feedback seriously to use it to refine your practice. I pray that you continue to follow your passion and that you continue to refine your methods to create empowering change for those who are ready and willing to put in the work. I also pray that you recognize that with everything I expressed here you, not only understand, but feel that this is not being expressed to you lightly and that you're work is recognized and appreciated.
      Sending you an Infinite Amount of Love to you and Jason--my brothers in the movement back to Source! You're amazing bro, above all, I pray you continue just being you to the best of your ability. Much love brother, much love 😊🙏💗

      Gwiz so theres this new catchphrase going around about "colourism' and of course its rebranded old news, but even so, lets press this using the case of lil kim. If we do we might conclude the victims of colourism indulge in the same victimhood politics as the LGBT brigade 💪🏻
      Lil Kim for example "confessed" that she started bleaching because black men did not want her and openly expressed their preference for lighter skinned women. Leaving aside female sexual selection pressure and its inherent unquestioned entitlements, what is she really saying? 🤔
      Keeping in mind that the highest power is that which can say "no" she is essentially saying she had less objects upon which to exert her power. She had a smaller pool of men to reject. She had less men to lead on, manipulate, insult, confuse, deceive and belittle. She ultimately willed to be in a better pisition to assume and practice her prerogative ; her female duty to degrade and deny men, and yet, it is woman who need protecting 🙈
      If we cease femsplaining and turn to mansplaining we unearth a series of unique or additional insights, for example, the idea that colourism isnt racial but corporate. Men arent as bothered by "colourism" as its just another brand of the many ways in which we are called igly eveeyday. Women however take exception as it undermines their pretences to being gods. For a man to be able to say "no" to them means they cease being women; whilst he becomes one.
      We as a people have problems all across the board so why would women focus exclusively on this particular aspect of our sickness whilst ignoring and neglecting others. Its as if they treat our pathologies as they do men. If we do dissimilar and see it as an issue of branding we can suggest that the issue is with who gets to define worth, and what trend will be in vogue. Theyre upset that their dashion is out of style but want everyone to buy into their branding.
      But lets pretend this logic isnt true and presume this claim of colourism has some merit. Let's jump ahead to a future place where darker skinned women are celebrated and cherished, and call it nigtopia. In nigtopia our people still have no control over their education, housing, mass communication, employment, means of production, continent or global image, but the darker skinned women feel real good. Im curious; what problem will this solve? 😐
      It brings me back to apartheid azania where the white elite classified the japanese - or was it the chinese - as honorary whites. Under no circumstances would it have made sense to bicker amongst themselves about their designations, unless they were in collusion with the existing antiblack power equation , which most these anti "colourism" claimants are. They arent seeking liberation, but containment. They want to be oppressed peacefully
      If these people were deeply upset ablut colourism it is unlikely they would be the same ones to mock african features such as complexion and hair and yet they're often the very ones referencing hair as picky, niggerish and nappy, whilst claiming mixed/diluted heritage as pretty or good hair. How can people claim to be against the source of their values and the system defining how they see the world? They arent; they want to refine the system not eradicate it because they remain invested and are the reason it perpetuates.
      Language, Neely Fuller and other long explained, structures how we see the world. It is as if what we see is ordered by what we think, which is determined by the tools used and programming our thinking. If however we fail to challenge concepts of "fairness" that essentially equate whiteness with purity and right, it is a battle lost prior to a pistol being fired. We cannot think like them and still profess/pretend to be against then. It doesnt make sense.

    Thank you, So much!!! I'm sharing this with male & female freinds! I'm a mother to an extraordinary 4 year old boy & I want him to feel safe to be himself & feel whaf he feels. I also want all boys & men to feel the same. As a woman I want to do my part. We all feel pain & it's ok. Let's serve & live from more compassion.

    For anyone interested in processing emotions I highly recommend using the Sedona Method.
    The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida is a great book for understanding masculinity.
    I Am the Word by Paul Selig is good for anyone that's curious about spirituality.
    Great video. Nice to see more people exploring and redefining masculinity.

    Wow! This is amazing! I'm really encouraged to see Men like this. I've seen so many husbands here that are not sensitive to their wives. They only think their "role" as a provider and protector. Forgetting that their wives have also emotional needs. Wives wants to here "I love yous", more hugs and kisses, more meaningful talks. This new generation of men needs to hear this. We need to get rid of our ego. Be strong and sensitive at the same time.

    This was a powerful podcast and much needed. Nothing but respect for the men who will be a stand and speak up as both of you have done and continue to do. I grew up with a father who was both emotionally and physically unavailable. I didn't discover until much later in life how much it affected how I felt about myself and the world I created as a result of my experience. It took years to unravel the story I created. This should be a required curriculum taught in school for both men and women.Some of the boys in my school were horrible human beings & I am clear that these young boys were just repeating a pattern. We come into this life pure and life happens, then we go out into the world recreating what we know.

      @@lewishowes Thanks for the reply Lewis! Two lessons stood out to me actually. The first one is to be fully and authentically myself (something I have held back on my entire life and has caused a lot of pain) and that it is OK to cry as a man and be open and vulnerable about your feelings and struggles. This interview actually inspired me to open up about things that I haven't shared with many people and begin to heal parts of my past. It also allowed other people to open up in ways that I have never seen. This interview has truly given me new perspective and courage to be more open and share how I am really feeling. Something I have never done before. So thank you so much.

    Love this! Thank you for sharing this. I am a mother of 4, 2 are boys and I always tell them its ok to cry. We talk about feelings at home. And every night during dinner we share a rose and a throne. Something positive that has happened and something negative(if any) that has happened during the day. This allows everyone to hold space, listen and support each other in a healthy way to process feelings. I teach women how to love themselves and I am so happy to see this, because MEN need to know they can love themselves too.. ALL aspects of self. Thank you!

We're so conditioned to believe that men don't deal with hurt which is unfair to them. This is where it starts..with open non-judgemental conversation. This type of stuff changes the lives of so many men as well as women to understand and empathy for men. Thank you Lewis & Jason! Your book "The Mask of Masculinity " is a great book! I'm about to get Jason's book now!
