- Book A Discovery Call Now To See If We'd Be A Good Fit To Work Together. Take Action And Create Your Best Self: theconsciousma...
Many men have gained the world but lost their soul. They have the car, the house, the girl, but have lost themselves along the way. External results mean nothing without the inner peace and integration to enjoy them. The outer trappings and achievements just become the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

The song in this video is called "Change Our Fate" - I wrote, sang, and recorded it myself. It is currently unreleased.
Thoughts on facing our inner shadow and the darkness of the human collective consciousness in order to truly find the light... Along with some awkward personal stories.

"Its better to be warrior in a garden than be a gardener in war"
We all have that inner darkness. It's what you do with it that matters. I face reality. I sometimes don't like it , but it's better than pretending. I can't change others, I can only change myself.
"You barely scratched the surface of what your capable of", it made me remind of something i've read in one of Seneca's work, "no one has ever found out what their capable of, without being tested", what i take from this is that we have to endure the pain, absorb every last drop of it, you got to let it burn to be forged in the fire. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing that. Very relevant... and I love me some Seneca
1:40, trust me, I prefer the car chats the most! They're amazing and remind me of the time I was a kid and my dad or grandpa would take me out on a drive telling me stories. You've an amazing channel, it's going to be big! Keep going.
There's certainly something nostalgic about it
Does somebody know a good dark playlist to meditate and do shadow work. There are some satanic playlist. But i dont want to become “bad” i just want to face it.
I’m 19 turning 20 in one week from today. I never comment on videos but man, you are one talented human being. These car chats radiate so much genuineness and concern for the collective wellbeing of everyone. I believe that everyone has the responsibility to integrate or fight their inner shadows but it’s so difficult nowadays with the constant distractions in which society is burdened. You’ve inspired me to try and talk about these topics with others, starting a channel similar to this would be my dream. Keep up the hard work and genuineness and you will grow exponentially this year I know it!
Thanks for sharing brother. If you have a dream to start a channel like this... you absolutely can. Just take small steps towards it. And happy 20th birthday (in 5 days)... Mine is tomorrow
@@TheConsciousMan143 happy early birthday! 🎂
@@TheConsciousMan143happy late bday conscious man 🫡
Happy birthday im also turning 20 soon
Hey man , Hope you're good and the family too. I remember journeying to the other side of me and coming face to it and the serenity it unleashed was Magical. I'm too much at repose now and have unmeasured heights of confidence , i went from overweight to fit after that decision and it's crucially important for men to have courage because an unhealed injury creates a bigger scar. It doesn't matter how you look on the outside as you said but if you dont face your shadows you'll be vulnerable at some point in your life. Keep doing this bro, may God keep us all strong
Glad I'm not alone on this journey. Never thought someone could so casually and without judgement describe some of the darkness within myself. Got a lot of work to do for sure.
We all have work to do brother. Keep going
im genuinely finding myself right when i started to realize ive been drifting. your content is absolutely amazing and inspiring, and it's making me understand myself and the world around me better. im only 16, but ill use this for the rest of my life. thank you man
I'm so glad to hear that brother and grateful that you stumbled upon the channel. 16 can be a very difficult age, but the fact that you're already so receptive and seeking wisdom is huge. Keep going.
I'm 18, and my life is truly fucked up when it comes to mental solitude. My inner demons are always there lurking, and I guess I do live in naivity. I'm not terrified of darkness, but although I've tried being a beacon of hope my whole life, as I have an altruistic personality, I can never find peace with myself. I try to have a strong will and I realise the downsides of committing s**c*de, but its never helped me, when I truly hate ever aspect of myself, physically. And I recognize the restraints it causes. But I've never gotten around to ever healing in that aspect.
Listening to you is calming, really, and I really appreciate your drive-talks. If it'd be possible for you to talk on something such as accepting your biggest insecurities and accepting who you are on the outside, I'd really be grateful. And apologies for the long message.
What you said about insecurities i feel you, my advice is to start building a stronger body and stronger mind (gym and books), you're gonna see that everything just fall into place within yourself, those insecurities are going to be very small and easy to get rid of as time passes, you're young so you have an advantage starting this early, and trust me, you are going to feel the diference, i've been on that road, it is life changing.
@@YagoShimoda Hey there, thanks for the advice. I do go to the gym, and am trying to get back to reading like I did like I once did. Problem is, my insecurities are physically very visible. Both are dermatologically related. So although the gym helps from time to time, the consciousness I feel about my skin is awfully heightened, the moment I'm with others. I would like to clarify I do feel this huge wave of disgust when I look in the mirror, and its just only slightly increased when i go out. I've been working on my skin and hair for over 2 years, and cant seem to find a break :/. Drains my mental like crazy when I realise I look the way I do.
@@thatoneguy...007 I was born with a defect in my mouth even though my case is not that bad, i still have the scars in the uper lip of the cirurgy that i did when i was an infant, i'm better now but i still have that mindset, the same as yours, of hating what i look in the mirror, little by little is going away with the mindset i'm developing thanks to some stoicism books i've been reading, but like i've said the body helps a lot, along with the mind, because the looks i'm getting from people now is different of what it was used to be, especially from women, i'm slowly changing my mindset about that, i'm not what i used to be anymore, lookwise i mean. It's a slow process, but you got to keep going, time passes the same for everybody, but everyone has its own. Chin up man, and stay strong, confidence breaks any barrier.
@@YagoShimoda Wow, that really clicked for me. I'm super glad its going better for you honestly. Guess we'll have to keep trying to accept ourselves and reality, as tough as it can get sometimes. I did try reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, was highly recommended then, I guess I'll have to pick it up and finish it this time. Sometimes it just gets too overbearing though, and that fucking sucks lol. Least we can do is have faith and trust things will get better, for being a human is to yearn. Here's to hope.
Man... just seeing this conversation between you guys now and it brought a tear to my eye. This is the exact kind of on-going support I'm hoping will be sustained in the men's community I'm launching tomorrow. We need to elevate each other at all stages. Love you guys
I appreciate and relate your sharing of your life's journey (so far). Your ability to open up and make your chats so relatable, loving and supportive. You definitely show your heart, feelings and strength to endure and grow. Continued success.
Appreciate you brother. Sending love your way.
Thank you brother. Your words echo many of our internal thoughts but you seem to arrange these thoughts in just the right manner. I appreciate you big bro.
Absolutely man. A pleasure
Hey buddy, glad you’re feeling better. Just wanted to let you know that I definitely agree with you. I don’t know about you, but I think some form of (temporary) isolation is key into discovering, recognizing, facing, understanding, appreciating and intergrading one’s shadow/dark side(s) of the soul. And moments of being intensely high can offer powerful perceptions. Maybe as an INFJ male it comes easier and earlier in life for me, but I’m happy you’re spreading awareness of the importance of it.
So again, thanks brother. You are loved.
I feel like a lot of INFJ people resonate with these videos, like myself
I've take meyers briggs twice... both times it said I was an INFJ, but that was a very long time ago.
I was actually thinking that you might be. Which makes sense in the many layered similarities, I recognize and connect with.@@TheConsciousMan143
Man. The way i relate to these Raw car talks is just baffling to me. I watched the first one where you were talking about desexualizing the brain and how hard it is to change habits that have been ingrained into one’s psyche for so long and honestly, I used to be that person. I’m 20 years old, had been addicted to porn since I was 11 years old (crazy i know).
This year i finally hit a breaking point because it was only now that I realized just exactly how much it had affected my life. For context, I had crippling social anxiety when it came to girls, and I would always blame it on the fact that I labeled myself as an introvert. Most girls in high school would just think that I was weird, and those that did show interest in me - I ended up screwing my opportunities because i was too scared to make the first move.
Long story short, I took psychedelic mushrooms and completely changed my life this year.
I’m more disciplined than I have ever been in my life. ( Haven’t missed a day of the gym in 5 months)
I have a beautiful girlfriend.
I haven’t touched porn in I don’t know how long.
I’m in the best shape of my life.
All this to say, if anyone is struggling with facing their demons, I encourage you to go within.
Whether that’s through meditation, psychedelics or maybe even therapy.
If there’s something about yourself that you don’t fully appreciate and there’s something you can do about it, it is your obligation to find a way to fix it.
There is always a way if you look hard enough.
"💪🏾✨♥️"
Brother thank you so much for sharing...It's not uncommon for men to be addicted to porn their whole lives, decades.
Amazing that you heeded that inner call. Also amazing that you stumbled upon plant medicine at the right moment. You're exactly the kind of person that would fit in with the men's community I'm launching in a couple days. Keep an eye out for that. Much love
your "flu" was a detox bro..mental and phisicaly...stay strong and keep it up !
I don't know how this got recommended on my youtube feed among all the gaming videos, but I appreciate your efforts and as a 22 year old, I can say that such 'talks' or 'communities' are soo helpful. Especially for people who lack proper guidance from their parents/relatives.
I notice that a lack of proper support and understanding made me fall into some unhealthy habits and I thank people like you, who helped show me an objective view over them. Keep it up!
Watched your last 2 Raw Car Chat videos and subscribed a few hours ago. This just came as up as I opened youtube!
These videos are epic!
I appreciate you brother
“We have to weed out our naivety” - very, very powerful. I hear a lot of Peterson in you. That is a very good thing.
Just discovered your channel and just these 3 car videos alone has made me cry dude. I’m still fairly young, early 20s, but I lost my father as well to suicide. I am a few years removed from it now, but in that time I have lost friends and mentors as well. From being abandoned, to falling outs, to them actually dying. It’s really hard. I also struggle with my own demons as well like everyone. I’m just glad I found you dude. God bless you Ryan and thanks again man! ❤
I'm so glad you found the channel brother. Something higher is forging you through all of this pain... your purpose in this life will be massive. Keep following that inner voice, it won't steer you wrong. Sending love your way.
Man I love these raw car chat vids bro, you putting me onto game as well as affirming the stuff I’m already doing and honestly it’s just relaxing so thank you bro and take care of yourself 🤝🏽
Man, I'm so glad to hear that. This channel was made for guys like you. Much love
I really appreciate the fact that ur channel exist, thx for the amazing content that u are uploading.
You're so welcome brother. More is coming
I've been watching your channel for a couple of months now, everything you say resonates so deeply with my experience of life and you're really helping me and plenty of others through some difficult times. Thank you so much for putting your content out there, much respect from the UK.
Reflecting on the video prompted a deep contemplation of the troubling situation I find myself in. Having committed a disturbing act, I now face a one-year prison sentence starting in May. Upon revisiting another one of your videos, I can't escape the unsettling realization of observing my own behavior - a seemingly animalistic self that operates almost autonomously, beyond my conscious control. It's a disconcerting experience, being fully aware yet unable to intervene effectively. I am seeking guidance on navigating this internal conflict, yearning for advice tailored to individuals who inherently possess goodness but grapple with unconscious tendencies toward harmful actions.

Came across this channel just as I was beginning to indulge in some bad habits that I’d worked hard to put away over the course of last year, your words tipped me back towards balance. I appreciate you. From what I’ve seen so far you’re talking about masculine spirituality in a grounded way without pushing too many ideas about gender roles beyond the core need for a man to be competent & know himself before he tries to change the world. I hope this channel does great things for you 👍
That means a lot brother. Made my night to read this... I'm grateful you found the channel at the perfect time. We all need some encouragement from time to time to help us stay balanced. Much love
Thank you for sharing, brother!!
One of the reasons I left church when I was 20 years old was the realization of having to suppress parts of me that felt authentic to me, and understanding that I would not be able to express them (and integrate them, as I see it now).
Speaking of weed, even though I have never tried psychedelics, I had a psychedelic experience after smoking weed 5 years ago. Just as you were sharing in your video about your mushroom trip, a personality within me expressed itself - it was an early puberty version of me, lost and anxious. It was a pretty bad trip overall. I’ve been learning a lot about psychedelics, and hoping that one day I will have a chance to have a more positive experience in the right environment.
As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts so openly!
Brother thank you for sharing this... A lot of religious folks are very repressed and not facing all sides of themselves. They run away from it because they think it's bad or "evil," but they just don't know themselves... they are afraid.
I had a similar experience not long ago on edibles btw... I was very surprised when something similar to my mushroom trip happened. Didn't even know that as possible on cannabis, until that happened. Unreal.
@@TheConsciousMan143 Thank you for taking the time to respond, brother!!
I’ve watched several interviews of Dr Matthew Johnson, he is one of the lead scientists researching psychedelics as a treatment for PTSD, depression and anxiety. Based on the results of multiple studies, it seems that within the next 1-2 years psychedelics will be approved by FDA for PTSD treatment.
Anyway, in one of the interviews that I recently watched he mentions that weed (in very high doses, and usually if one is not a regular user) can act as a semi-psychedelic (I don’t remember the term he actually used). The trip that I had was scary af, I had no idea what was going on, it felt like I was losing my mind. For months afterwards I thought I might have inflicted permanent damage to my brain. Thankfully that explains it :-D
I’ve studied Nazi Germany greatly because my grandmother lived there during the time of Hitler. I’ve always used what I’ve researched as a lens to analyze how anyone can become evil, even myself; I can easily see how I could have done those things, no one is excluded from the possibility of walking an evil path. My great grandfather who lived there actively resisted the Nazis and suffered for it; it filled me with so much pride and I thought about it for a long time, how someone could be so brave and I realized that the reward of fighting evil is the acknowledgement within yourself that you could easily be evil yourself. If you think you can blindly be a hero, or that being a hero is simply “being a good person” you don’t understand true heroism. Each day we fight a battle of good and evil that can either build a sustainable Empire or let a Nazi Germany arise. I think we should all take an inventory of our internal darkness, but also the times where we legitimately sacrificed and suffered for good; God keeps an inventory on those things, and we can use it as a source of motivation any time the choice between darkness and light comes our way. Greatly enjoying your channel, God bless.
Thank you brother. This video was a little depper. I appreciated it.
Feeling grateful for the community of other men who are working on becoming their best selves, through facing their shadows. If you are here, then you are on the journey to self actualization and I commend you men. Happy new year brothers 🙏 🎉
Appreciate you brother. Keep an eye for the men's community I'm launching in a few days where we connect more directly everyday and grow together.
im 17 yr old dude used to be addicted to porn n was full of lust and im glad i got on the path to get rid of lust and the addiction at this age, its painful n i feel so bad for all the grown men w families at that age going through what im going through. Prayers to them . Spread love everyone ❤
Thank you so much, I always felt the need to check myself. I love the samurai analogy, and I will cultivate this through meditation.
Absolutely brother. Grateful you found your way to the channel
Quality conversations...Quality Videos. You are definitely destined for a Million Views soon Bro.
You are full of depth 💯. Keep it up
I appreciate you a ton
"you've barely scratched the surface"
Love it
I truly believe that. Much love
I know for a fact that there are some crazy ideas and concepts about how I view the world lodged deep within my psyche that I cannot access just by thought. I feel like I need to go on a sort of trip to really figure out how I perceive things, because there are parts of me buried really deep down that don't want to be found.
Be the warrior the garden and not a gardener in war.
This was the quote I was looking for. Thank you
welcome back
Thanks man
I'm not gonna lie the thing about the nazis really hit me. I'm a sixteen year old Jewish kid but truth be told if, if I was born in Nazi Germany as a German I could have been one of those evil, terrible people that killed my grandparents.
the funny thing.. is that these are the kinds of realizations that cause us to come face to face with our inner darkness. And instead of running away from it, acknowledging it, integrating it, bringing love and forgiveness to it… and then from that place, more light than you can possibly imagine begins to shine through. It takes courage… much love brother
Man I would Loooove to interview you or have you on a pod. These are such big topics and the most important especially right now!
have you read the laws of human nature by robert greene? you would enjoy it. glad to have found your channel. these talks are theraputic.
I would not have listened this intently if not for the subtle scenes of realism like the indicator sound going tick-tock, the sound when you r turning left or right or when those occasional bumps come on the road
just discovered your channel bro. im 21 and for some reason this channel feels like a safe and relatable space. 'preciate the vulnerability and realness you show, especially for young men like myself. 🙏🏽
So glad you found your way here brother. This channel was made for men like you
The story of a man who didn't feared death, he welcomed it. And so, his punishment was more severe.
Hey buddy..... I just watched my 4th video and you have a gift that no other person can take it away from you. As stated before, not sure how I came up to your channel but something told me to watch it. I would like to know how I can chat with you by phone if all possible and your hourly rate. Thanks for your messages. I feel 100% better after watching your videos. I now know I am not alone. Thanks for sharing
Glad you found yourself here brother. Check the links in the description for 1 on 1 calls… also the Conscious Men Community has weekly group zoom calls, we can chat in there too. Either way, I appreciate the kind words. Much love
Brother, I'm pumped to listen to this tonight after work. I'm definitely going to leave my appreciation
I've been doing a lot of shadow work so if that's what this is about I cannot wait. 👊 Thank you for sharing your journey as always 💪
Absolutely brother. Thank you for watching the vids. It sounds like we are on a very similar path indeed
@TheConsciousMan143 Hello again brother, I want to tell you that this is arguably. Perhaps at least for my self , your best video yet, thank you for bearing your soul and letting us into your world. If it's therapeutic to you, that's amazing that it has some payback to you as well because it has much pay out to us and to myself. This is exactly what I've been thinking about and how I feel. I'm a big fan of Bushido and the idea of a code, and I think you're right. If you're not able to do great violence, sheath your sword most of the time yet one needed unsheath your sword then you were correct. You cannot be a full man or a fully integrated man. Our shadow is not something to run from. It's something to run towards. It's something to understand and integrate and we risk great harm to ourselves and others if we try to run from it or mask it. Thank you for sharing this brother. We are definitely on the same path. I'm going to keep following yours and hopefully I can help you in some ways well. Peace, brother 👊
@@Satsui_No_Hado Man, thank you for this valuable share. I'm very grateful that you stumbled upon the channel. Likeminded men like yourself is the reason I make these vids. Sending love your way.

@@TheConsciousMan143hey my brother, always glad to share. I'll definitely be watching your content into the future. Happy New Year's to you! Thanks for being open and vulnerable enough to share your story and your journey. I'm looking forward to 2024. I think it's going to be a good year. It won't be perfect. There's no such thing. Mark Manson says whenever without problems we just upgrade them. Let's upgrade our problems and let's move into the future ! Appreciate you brother and much love and respect to you 👊
I also consider myself apolitical, despite having largely liberal beliefs. There’s just so much hatred and shaming and villainizing on both sides that I don’t want to be a part of any of that. Like you said, I try to use my friends preferred pronouns, not out of fear of getting canceled, but because I respect them as human beings.
Now, just as not all conservatives are hateful bastards, not all liberals are woke crusaders. But when there’s this feeling of moral superiority, it makes us less able to see our own faults. I was watching this video the other day about ‘Trumps weak reaction to Kamala’s campaign’ or something, and the CZcamsr was hashing into a conservative tweet or something.
I looked in the comments, and the absurdity of seeing said tweet copied or paraphrased multiple times down there nearly made me laugh.
I don’t know what the moral I’m supposed to draw from that is, other than have some basic humility and introspective capabilities.
Oh, and that the political system and political media in all countries, but particularly the U.S., is an echo chamber of flaming garbage.
I always assume I would be a villain. Probably very vicious one.
It's certainly a choice
you're going to become real big one day, remember me till then
Keep it coming brother, great content 🙏
Hey brother,
Sorry I haven't been caught up with the holidays I'm just watching the two videos now!
I think it's actually crazy that this is the topic in your video this week because I have had two traumatic events happen to me this year where I have started to have to accept that I am not the person that I thought that I would be.
Story #1. I was walking down town and I saw a homeless man sleeping, instinct kicked in and I immediately thought that man was not sleeping. I called to him and asked if he was ok with no response and when he did not respond I went into the mall that he was laying outside of and got security to come and check him and it turned out he OD'd and was dead. I thought a lot about this moment afterwards and I realized that I am prejudice against homeless people and despite it being a potentially dire situation I didn't want to touch this person, I didn't shake them, I didn't check their pulse, I immediately got someone else to deal with it and try and figure out who this man was, if he had identification ect.
Story #2. I was going out for a jog to face my demons and I get into the parking lot of the place that I wanted to go out for my jog and with my ignition still on I heard a woman scream behind me, so I put the car in reverse and turned around to see why this woman was screaming. I was met with a guy with a gun running after my car and I put the gas pedal to the floor and got out of there. I later called the police to tell them the story and they went and checked the area that I was at. Didn't find any women or anything like that, and I have yet to know if anything bad happened to her.
I have been thinking a lot about these two situations because in both scenarios, I did not act the way that I thought that I would have acted. In story 2, I thought I would have hit this man with a car to save this woman, but I ran. In story 1, I thought that I would have done what security did. It's still something that I am trying to traverse in my mind you think you know yourself until you are put in certain positions.
On a less serious note, I actually have a very SIMILAR story about my one and only fight that I got into in my life. Also in grade 1 I was wearing a nice dress shirt to school because it was "church day" in the school that I went to and I felt like I looked pretty good and this kid came and pushed me and I fell into the mud ruining my clothes. I was so mad that I grabbed him and slammed him against the brick school, he hit his head pretty bad on the school and started to cry. Just think it's crazy that we have very similar stories there as I've noticed a lot of similarities in the stories you tell on here that mirror my life.
Question, because I am still trying to traverse my inner darkness stemming from these two situations I have been in this year. I thought I knew myself, until I was in these situations, how do I know how I will act and be able to control myself and be "holy" without being in another one?
Hope your holidays were awesome brother! I have one more video of yours to catch up on I will talk to you there.
Also, song at the end was bomb!
Man, I just read all of this. Very profound. Would love for you to share all of this (even just copy/paste) all of it in the community (saw that you joined). I think it would be super valuable for everyone to converse about it
@@TheConsciousMan143 Thank you for taking the time my friend, I will :) Glad to be a part of the community and to support you.
i’m just realizing your camera is on the outside of your car.
I really really like the song in the outro "tell me, can we change our fate" or something - but can't find it online. Trenton please where is it? 🔥❤️
This song is currently unreleased unfortunately. Will let you know if ever it gets released.
I hit a like button at 0:22. Am I the only one?
Much love
Thankful for these vids brother ❤
It's a pleasure
Thanks for sharing, man
Thanks
This sounds alot like the "Facing your inner darkness" podcast by Jocko ft. Jordan Peterson
Nice, I'll have to check that out - Wisdom and principles are always universal and almost never original, just expressed in slightly different ways and through different lenses
That's original meaning of "meek" that's used in the Bible. To be able to use your sword but keep it sheathed. Another saying is: It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
Very true. Thank you for sharing
Never have I heard of anything like this but it makes sense. But do we just keep those dark sides in our back pockets like they are okay to use? I was a bit confused with that part or is it to just recognize that as a part of who you are?
These car videos are very good but I personally dislike the sad music that plays when you speak of a heavy topic. You have good intentions with it but sometimes it's best to just speak and let the words be
I hear you, really appreciate the feedback. The interesting thing about having a youtube channel is that you can't cater to everyone.. So I'm just gonna do what resonates the most with me. Music has been a massive part of my journey thus far in getting me to this point in life. The songs you hear in the background I made myself. It's all part of the creative process...
Though I do agree that silence can be very effective at times too. I won't force a song into a video if it's not feeling right to me. That's my main take away from the feedback. Much love and thanks for watching.
Good stuff. Jordan Peterson speaks a lot about this
That man has a ton of wisdom. Glad he exists
Thank you!
Absolutely man
"💪🏾📡"
Your mushroom vid got me hooked on your story brother. I even saw an exorcist review it 😂
Glad you found the channel brother - Yeah pretty wild experience.... and i definitely saw the "exorcist" review. His followers have been bombarding me non-stop with emails for weeks telling me I'm going to hell.
It's been very intense.
Is the inner darkness always tied to anger ? I have to say that I have never been really angry in my life, I'm quite a chill guy. Doesn't mean that I can not defend myself or others, far away from it, but just i've had that primal rage maybe once when I was younger, but that's it
Not always. It can be anything that we push down and try to suppress.... Often times the shadow is so suppressed we aren't even aware of it's existence at all... it can take a lot of intentionality to uncover it. Sometimes people come face to face with it in dreams, or psychedelics too
Out of nowhere but What car are you driving lol
2001 Toyota Avalon. Inherited it from my father when I was 17 nearly 20 years ago
thanks for the video, man. when are you going to release the song?
No release date set currently. Will let you know
Jesus is king, and there’s no darkness He cannot conquer.

12:10 "its better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war" -Bruce Lee
Love that quote.
I just wanted to reach out and tell you that I don't believe there was anything demonic Going on in your psychedelic experience. demons will not talk about love in the way that those voices were talking about it. I think it's more likely that you. We're speaking with your guardian Angel as well as a couple of other positive energies that may be guiding you. But what do I know?
That's definitely a much more positive outlook than I've been getting from a lot of the religious folks, I appreciate that and I agree.
Even Jesus Christ flew into a fit of rage at the money changers in the Temple. I know you have a Christian background, so I thought that might be powerful to think upon. I have come to faith in Christ away from any of the instantiations of it in America, formerly raised fundamentalist myself. Christ exhibited the kind of lack of naivety you speak of and strength and courage required to overcome it for good when we don’t make Christianity about any of the BS it has been made about and actually focus on what Jesus, the dude himself, said. Man was pinnacle masculinity.
Your last few videos struck a chord but this one seems a bit disconnected.
I understand your desire to help them understand pornography is harming them but the way you conveyed it sounds out of place. That’s their journey, hopefully they find peace within themselves but still. Not your place to accuse or point out something like that.
Sounds like something my reckless nephew would do. And it sounds like yet another reason I’d avoid him.
Yes, I struggle with lust often, and no that’s not your problem. That’s something I’ve got to work on and understand within myself. And if I was one of those men in that room I would’ve been appalled that you felt important enough to step in and tell me how I’m not in grips with myself and how I don’t understand my own issues.
Just let people struggle in peace, it’s not your place to interfere with their journey. If they asked which you made it sound like they didn’t, then it’s another story. But they didn’t ask, you volunteered that part of them and ran with it.
And before you write me off, I understand where you’re coming from. I just think you need to reflect on that specific situation more.
What camera are you using bro? Good video btw
Thank you my dude. There will be a course in the men's community I'm launching tomorrow that will go into detail on how I make the vids. Keep an eye out
As someone that loves Jesus he is the purpose to life and your complaints on it are so so valid but Jesus wants a relationship with you he just wants to know you and you know and him and there's nothing better than having someone so intimate to cry to being humans hard as their will always be this block of thoughts. I know your family had a legalistic faith and troubled you not talking about sex but you should seek the truth you will find its Jesus Christ. You don't want a relationship with religion our spirit wants god so desperately but the scales over your eyes are hard to take off. Please read the Bible it actually talks about our darkness quite a bit but it's hard for people to be vulnerable with themselves and admit that it's a very real part to them. Everyone needs someone to cry to. Everyone needs god. The pure in heart will meet him.
The things you read in that book about the Nazis, are exactly the same things the Israelis are doing to innocent Palestinians, hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian men women children and elderly, the only difference is it's been happening for 75 years and nobody has been talking about it until very recently.
The LGBTQ experience a lot of shame by others. if you want to understand this there is a book called 'The Velvet Rage' specifically about the shame of gay men
Homosexual shame can absolutely be a part of an individuals shadow. The character Colonel Fitts in the movie "American Beauty," is a really good example of a repressed shadow in that way
Good
Much love
Does somebody know a good dark playlist to meditate and do shadow work? There are some satanic playlist. But i dont want to become “bad” i just want to face the darkness.
Not the way to do it. Start meditating with no music. Be in a room without any distractions so you can focus on your breathing and stay in it. Inner shadow work is facing your passed trauma or any current trauma and make peace with it.
What everyone wants to know isnwhat kind of car does buddy drive?

Nvm I found you, for those who would like to know. He goes by Trenton, if you want to find his music
I appreciate you brother
What’s the book of Carl Yung he’s talking about ?
Aion and Red Book .... but I will say these are not easy reads.
Early on I got a lot more out of of hearing smarter more intellectual people than myself summarize these writings, and then later revisited the books when I felt more primed to understand it better... Still learning
